Village Under Attack

While the cold breeze battered the houses of the village, roars of warcries were heard. Flapping sounds were heard by the citizens and they were alerted. Shadows flew above and they could see such presences were alarming.

Roar!

The guards then were alerted.

We are under attack! Monsters! They ate here!

Sounds of alarming bells soon were heard. They saw that the creatures had the wings of bats, the body of Lions, and the tail of scorpions.

Manticores!

The guards shouted.

It was then, that the Patriarch immediately arrived and he saw the Demon that was behind all this. An awe was seen in his face but he was not intimidated. The Manticore demon lord landed on the ground and then announced his presence. The manticores all formed at the front of the walls and they were ready to attack anytime.

"I am the Manticore Demon Lord! And I proclaim my conquest on this land!" he shouted. Slamming his feet on the ground to assert dominance.

"I am sorry my dear Demon lord. But we are a free village and were not available for a new lordship," the Patriarch said to him, a little bit worried.

"Then prepare to be conquered!" he shouted.

Demon lords had great prowess and were not trifling existences.

He immediately punched the Patriarch and three persons arrived.

"Patriarch! Let us handle him!" said Jin, Diana's father.

Diana also arrived as well as her two other uncles, Xin and Long.

"Oh ho ho! A reinforcement! Let me teach you whelps of a lesson. When a demon lord says, humans must obey!" he immediately attacks.

The guards then attack the demon lord and they are all armed with weapons.

The demon lord then made a devilish grin. He might have not been using all his powers but he still has his raw power. The guards attacked him and he dashed towards them.

The first one to attack was the spearman Long. He swirled his spear and then slashed their spears at him vertically. The enemy then blocked his attack with his bracers. Making a crossed block from their weapons.

Tirrrrring!

His weapon's blades sounded as they landed on his metal bracer. The demon lord immediately smashed their spears by grabbing them and snapping them into two. The enemy then rotated and then kicked him. Making them thrown from his location.

The next guard then attacked with his shield and sword Xin. The enemy slapped his swords on the flat side and his swords broke. He then smashed his shield like it was made of eggshells. Rotating then kicked them with spinning hook kicks on their faces.

He immediately ran towards the others and then spin-kicked the ones that tried to block his path. Making them thrown away by the force.

The enemy attacked and he was dueled by Jin. Using a weapon with double-sided blunt kanabo. Jin rotated his weapon but the demon lord deflected them with his bare hands like it was nothing. He also disarmed them even though their weapons were made of metal.

He was attacked on the front with a vertical smash and then evaded. Smashing the floor and it cracked due to its heavy weight.

He then kicked the owner of the weapon and grabbed it for his use. He then battered Jin with the weapon he had.

It was then, that all of them stood up once again and he was left annoyed by their tenacity. One was a spearman, one was a sword and shield and one was with the double-sided blunt.

He then breathed out and then they all attacked him. He threw the weapon to them and they all flickered to him. Evading it on the process.

He immediately was attacked and he defended with only his bracers. The sword and shield attacked him and he blocked the sword. Countering with a punch in the face three times then he kicked him in the chest. Sending him away.

The elite with blunt attacked and then he blocked with his arms. Making his bracers sound and spark. A vertical smash was made and the enemy blocked with his arms. Making him bend his knee in the process.

He immediately attacked this time as the enemy was slow but his attacks were heavy. He was slashed diagonally and he blocked. Rotating then kicked his knees and knee kicks his face. Making the enemy collapse in the process.

The spearman then attacked and his spear was fast in its stabs. Making the enemy block them and then pass his defenses and elbow-charged him. Making him puke blood.

The enemy stepped back a bit and then he retaliated. He swirled his spear and then attacked with slashes. Slashing on the left and right while almost bending his spear in the process.

His reach was worth mentioning but the enemy knew that he had an easier defense to break. He blocked and then dashed in front. Landing flickering punches on the face, chest, and stomach. He then rotated and kicked him.

Boom!

He landed on the walls and passed out. All of the guards were incapacitated and he walked out of the battle even without perspiring.

"Uncles!" Diana screamed. "Help! Somebody help! Uncle Jin, Uncle Xin, Uncle Long!"

She ran towards them, even ignoring the danger that she might face. He then used her healing technique martial path and they were healed.

However, the enemy was intrigued instead. He grabbed her and then threw her to the side.

"Diana!" her father Jin shouted in worry.

It was then, that the Patriarch appeared and stopped his advances. The Patriarch then attacked and used his technique. He was an Elementalist that had a Lightning element.

He dashed and attacked with sparks. Fists were enough to paralyze the enemy for a few seconds. He also had explosive movements that were enough to leave a trace of lightning.

He dueled with the Demon lord and it was chaotic. The Patriarch punched several times on his face but it was for naught. He was slapped by the back side of his hands and he was thrown.

The Patriarch then stood up and used his element to burst and it sent a huge wave of electric pulse. Making the enemy grit his teeth as he was electrified.

Patriarch then dashed and sent lightning bolts as he dashed. The enemy tried to block it but it was for naught. He only was electrified instead.

The battle was chaotic but the enemy still had a lot of energy to spare. While the Patriarch was panting instead.

Roar!

The demon Lord then dashed and punched the Patriarch. Enough to send him to the walls.

Boom!

He then was grabbed on the neck and rubbed on the walls from where they stood to the side.

He was thrown to the ground and he was drop-kicked by the enemy. He could only roll to the side and then stood up. The enemy punched with a left and right punch and he was hit by its heavy weight. Enough to make him puke blood.

Ugh!

"Patriarch!" Diana shouted.

The Patriarch then was grabbed on the neck and was lifted. He grabbed his hands and then used his lightning element to electrocute him. The Demon lord was hit but it was like nothing happened. He was just laughing at his efforts.

Diana was alerted and she felt like her hope was about to get crushed. Only one thing was left on her mind and that was to ask for help.

"Somebody help ....Xuan!"

She shouted and then from the skies, dropped a man in cape. It was a familiar face and Diana knew him immediately.

"Xuan!"
