Purging

Chapter 04: Purging

Third Person's pov

The quiet morning greeted Flederia with clear skies.

The sun continues rising as the shadow of the wall gradually withdraws from the plain ground inside.

Wind blows with freshness and peace. But among the great view of the plains. There came a view of numerous monsters dashing near a village after infiltrating the southern wall.

A happy family greeting each other for a morning feast, got disturbed when a couple of these savage beasts break in for themselves and started devouring the owners of the house.

A woman fetching some water by their well, saw the monstrosity coming from a distance, but unfortunately did not notice the one which was already behind her that clawed her head off before eating the bloodied remains.

A group of children who are laughing as they played with a small ball by a backyard, didn't noticed the fast movements of the monsters as it grabs them by their necks like chickens and before one of them could even scream, the monsters took their massive bites off of their heads and bodies.

The silent yet vulgar murders started getting worst as the frightened witnesses increases.

And eventually. Screams started echoing all around the place.

"Help! The monsters are here!"

"This can't be happening!"

"So the alarm back then was true!"

"We have to evacuate! Quick!"

The helpless villagers yells in fear and panic, as the countless monsters cannibalized them randomly. As long as the monsters could set their eyes on a target, it'll never stop chasing not until it catches its prey.

"I'm scared, mister! Please help me!" A boy crying runs along the street when he approaches a man while on the back of a horse.

But the man did not even respond and left with his horse away from the village in chaos. But before he could even escape the gate of the place, One of the monster grabs the man's arm and smashed him on the ground.

"No! Please, let me go! No!" The man pleaded as his horse escapes while he himself got eaten by the monster.

"Come here!" The mother stretches her arm for his son, but before they could even reach each other, two monsters grabs them both away as they screamed before dying.

"Dammit! What the hell's happening?" A strong man with an axe, stood shaking inside his home with his back against the wall. Thinking he might be safe if he stayed there.

But seconds later it proves nothing but lies when a strong claw broke the wall behind him and grabs the man by his head outside. His loud scream reverberated along the village but it didn't lasts when the monster devoured his head in whole like a sweet fruit.

"I don't wanna die!" In the middle of the chaotic place, a boy runs along the panicking crowd but ended up blocked by a group of beasts and no one was left as they got massacred mercilessly.

Some tries to fight back by slashing a monster's arm by an axe, but the weapon broke instead.

"What the?!" The old man muttered in shock, and all he could do was to have a terrified look before two monsters broke his chest and skull before eating him as he drops.

Four kilometers away from that village. A single mansion from the plains called the South Inner Outpost heard the sound of the bell from the wall ten minutes ago.

"Everybody, move out!" Feldeon. Captain of the South Guard Squad leaded the horses along with his ten soldiers to confront the conflict at hand.

"Who the hell is guarding the southern wall now?" Francial. A girl in his twenties with golden ponytail hair said, he is one of the soldiers on the horse.

"Probably no one. I bet they're already dead after sounding that alarm," Deyal answered. "or much worst, they fled in fear after that and didn't even offered a fight."

"The wall guards are one of the most important soldiers of Flederia to ensure everybody's safety," Feldeon said. "And our job as the inner guards are to maintain peace inside the wall despite the chaos that might happen. Run fast soldiers! We have work to do!"

"Yes, captain!"

Meanwhile.

After the monsters massacred a whole village, some of them were still eating flesh. And some were dragging severed bodies all over the red-painted roads and alleys.

Then a few monsters, started running deeper into the plains when they sensed another pack of preys, where another neighboring town was located, one kilometer away from them.

Almost half of the monsters stayed by the ruined village to finish their foods, but not that long, a single man on a horse arrived on the scene who's no other than Lowan Shelwell.

Good thing when he went down the wall, he found a horse by the small shed and used it for faster transportation.

There's no way he can use the broken sword anymore so the weapon he's holding now is no other than a spear.

He jumped down from the horse and let the animal hide away in the meantime, as the monsters noticed and started sprinting towards Lowan.

But the man was angry enough from the sight of the village that within a single swing of his spear, seven monsters got decapitated at once and disappeared.

Lowan gritted his teeth with widened eyes. "You all will never be forgiven! Now die and rot in hell!" And he himself sprints forward with great determination of purging these monsters all by himself with just a single spear on hand.

A couple of monsters tried to fight back, but Lowan was incredibly fast to avoid any claw attacks or bites that might come in any directions.

With just one swing and stabs of his long sharp weapon, he could kill an army of monsters alone in less than five minutes or so.

Lowan groaned as his spear pierced through the monsters heart before forcing a slash up to scatter the monsters brain before it disappeared.

Then another one appeared behind him that tried to bite his nape off, but Lowan swings the spear like lightning that decapitated the monster before its attack could reach him.

He's tired and covered in blood. But with his fiery glaring eyes, it looks like he'll never stop here on out. "There's more."
