***On Planet Gieă. In the Outskirts of the Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans'.. In a small house on top of a lonely and silent hill.
Through the bloodstained darkness in the house, Navi's bloodied white outfit and orange eyes seemed to come alife as the last three members of the invader party watches him.
Since they were racing towards it, they are close to the door and so they can only wacth Navi's back profile as he pulls out his bloody sword's blade from the spleen of their now dead half-human partner.
The invader's charge towards the door has been instantly reversed into a flawless counter attack. When charging, Navi literally pushed the stabbed body of the the late hulky half human through the space between the rest of the other invaders who were also racing towards the door.
Due to the darkness and the fact that the attack is so unexpected, trio could not pull off a reaction on time as all their efforts were made towards stopping their forward momentum. After a second worth of time with killing their momentums, Navi has already rammed the hulky man into the wall as well as rammed a dagger into the man's throat.
Now, looking towards the ruthless and definitely deadly killer, all sense of reason seems to die as they can only see the cold pair of Navi's orange eyes staring calmly at them through the darkness.
Their hearts pounding in their ears as adrenaline floods their minds as they try to register the sudden and brutal loss of a partner in crime!.
The seconds ticked by but time stands still for the trio all as reality blurs into what seems to be a nightmare!.
Two people were down. Murdered brutally yet beautifully in less than twenty seconds and the killer is calmly staring at them through the dark.
For a moment, the rest of the three invaders considered retreat as they are already a few steps to the door. Retreat seems to be the most logical option but that option is soon cancelled out..
"Aaarrrrgghhhh!!!.", She screams as her mind explodes in rage!.
The unstable half-dwarf breaths heavily and shakenly and then.. she explodes with fury as she fully registers the reality of the death of a friend but also her secret love.
Locking her enraged gaze on Navi's figure, the half dwarf whose weapon is a pair of axes raises her right hand. Her right wrist seems to move in a fast blurry as it swings forward while releasing the axe in her right palm straight at Navi as the half-dwarf immediately follows-up the throw with a crazed charge.
The axe throw catches Navi slightly off guard but his body moves on time as he shifts hiw weight to the side while feeling a sharp gust of wind as he hears the blade of the axe striking into the wall behind with a deadly impact.
#PUNNG¡!¡#
Too close!,.. Way too close.
With how close he is to being chopped to the spinning axe, Navi is snapped out of everything else. He doesn't even get a second to gather himself as he sees as an intruder charging madly at him though there's not much he can do to slow her as she has already closed in.
She's almost in his face and her second axe is swinging towards his chest. Due to shifting his weight to dodge the throw axe, Navi is put in an awkward position for a counter attack or block to the axe that swings towards his chest the next second!.
Thinking on his feet, Navi knows he cannot deflect the attack but he also knows that he has another advantage..
He knows the house like the back of his palm and the intruder cannot even see properly with the darkness.
The bathroom door is placed in the wall by his side so what's stopping him for using it as a shield.
#BANG!..#
The half-dwarf swings her axe down but it immediately gets stuck in the wood of the door Navi that hurriedly pulls up.
Cramped in a corned with a door partly sandwiching him to the wall, Navi feels the cold force of the axe impact on the door knocking into his frame.
He is now in a corner with his body half sandwiched between the door and the wall but he has already thought of the next move to get him out of this very bad position and so he has no problem with immediately executing it.
Immediately after the brutal impact, Navi cleaves his sword down at the wrist holding the swung axe that is of course still stuck in his bathroom door.
His quick movement bring an even quicker reaction from the half-dwarf who pulls her hand off the axe's handle thus buying Nvai the second he needs to removes himself from being between the door and the wall.
Navi pulls himself out of the corner before immediately going into the offensive at the now weaponless half-dwarf as he sees the rest of the pack now charging at him.
#UWUUU¡#_ A blade sings through the air.
A wild and skilled horizontal slash of Navi's sword is easily avoided by a backwards step by the half dwarf but the goal was never to kill but rather to create space between both of them. Although she's half-dwarf, she has a stronger and bigger figure than his own.
The last few action filled seconds have proven how fierce a fighter the half-dwarf is cause since her crazed scream, Navi had almost died twice already!.
#UWUUU¡#..
They say nothing makes you feel more alive than being chased by death and Navi is beginning to agree with this twisted notion as he swings his blade furiously once more with a subconscious grunt being released from the root of his lungs.
The tip of his sword sings through the air while drawing a wide horizontal ark that forces the momentum of the other two charging intruders to pause as they move a bit back while stumbling a bit in the dark.
After his second slash, Navi keeps his blade in motion through the air and he doesn't stop moving his body. He turns around his own axis before releasing another slash attack.
The attackers have been forced to give him space with just two swings of his sword but Navi does not plan to spar but rather to kill!.
Turning around fast, Navi is once more four steps ahead as he somehow releases a dagger from his free hand instead of an expected slash. With the torgue of rotating on his own axis, a dagger shoots out of Navi's right hand then straight into the stomach of a charging Troy.
In the dark, Navi's attacks happens so smoothly that it is a work of art.
Three skilled and wild swings of his sword each one with purpose, a spin with the third swing then a flying dagger out of nowhere but straight into an enemy's body!.
Navi is nowhere near done with the trio as he swings his sword once more though this time, he adjusts his weight forward while planning to deliver a finishing strike to the dizzyly retreating Troy who has a dagger stuck in his guts.
*!!!CLANG!!!*
Two metal weapons collides in mid-air as Navi's brutal attack is repelled by a nasty swing from one the beast man's foot-long dual cutlass.
The entire of Navi's blade alongside his sword's handle vibrates from the recoil of the heavy collision thus numbing his grip a bit.
Navi is forced to take a step back while Troy retreats a few steps backwards with his mind buzzing and his clothes slowly getting wet with blood.
Troy knows better than to try to pull out the dagger as he would bleed straight to death and so, he focuses on a clumsy retreat in the darkness while hoping that his mates would be able to kill that.. Demon!.
Despite his attacks and being forced to take a step back, Navi still has his attention everywhere but there's no good news for him as he hears a grunt and a pull that signifies that the half-dwarf has once more pulled out her axe out of the wooden door.
Navi is surrounded, the wall is just three feet behind where he's standing, the beast man is four feet in front of him and the crazy half-dwarf maiden is just five feet to his left side.
Their eyes are all on him and for the moment, nobody makes a move as all they could hear in the almost complete darkness is their own heavy breathings and racing hearts.
The weapons in their grips are held firmly,.. ready to strike. -The beast man has each of his dual cutlass in his hands, the half-dwarf is with only one her small dual axes and she holds it thight in her right hand.
Navi has his Claymore sword's handle in both his hands as he maintains a firm grip on it while holding its handle right in front of his torso with his blood stained blade pointing upwards and forward.
They(Navi and the intruders) were all moving yet on the same spot while they(The beast man, the half-dwarf and the injured and distant Troy) all stared at Navi or rather his bloody white amour suit and cold orange iris that stands a sharp contrast to the pale darkness in the house.
Reminding themselves that the blood on Navi's figure belongs to their fallen mates put a lot more pressure, anxiety and anger in their minds.
Retreat!..
Retreat is already becoming more of an option in their minds but did they dare turn their backs to this orange-eyed grim reaper?.
"Who.. are.. you?.", The half-dwarf asks through gritted teeth as her eyes and breaths shows extreme anger and grief at the person who had just brutally taken the life of her lover just a few dozen seconds ago.
She lives on the outside of the Academy so she has never stared at or rather stared into those distinct orange eyes before but Troy and the beast-kin didn't need a verification check as the only questions in their tense mind is.. HOW?.
How did he know?..
How did he manage to kill two of them so quickly?.
How were they not aware of the danger and brutality he represents?.
A minute hasn't even clocked since they set feet in the house yet all they were greeted by is a tense whistle from outside, visuals of a bleeding dead mate then another dead mate the moment they reopened the door.
Presently, Troy has a dagger in his stomach and almost lost his head, Malisa-(Half-dwarf) has lost one of her axes and Navi doesn't even yet has a major scratch on him.
He isnt even breathing heavily!.
They've killed a lot, they've robbed a lot and they've done more terrible things while hoping not to meet a nemesis one day but the nemesis they've always feared seems to be standing tall in front of them.
The decisions they make next would determine who gets out alive and whose blood becomes another stain on Navi's blade and suit.
Navi tilts his head to stare at the raging half-dwarf through the darkness with his calm predatory orange eyes piercing straight into her soul.
For a moment, the grief and anger the dwarf feels is replaced by a tingle of fear but she has no time to focus on this emotion as her beast-man mate launches a sharp attack with the opportunity of Navi's minute distraction at Malisa's question.
