Chapter 9 "Thief" You will pay for calling me that…

Chapter nine.

Elician's nice looking face died as soon as he saw the harlot leaving the crowd. No one was going to be there for him now. Only the harlot could tell them the truth about everything that happened.

The cluster of aggressors were increasing as they approached the alley.

Looking at them, Elician fingers tightened into fist. His knuckles hardened as if he was about to do a Kung Fu battle. He stretched forth making all his muscles rest in the right places. He didn't have time to spare. He had been gentle all this time just for them to at least have sympathy for him but no. They were all naive. They didn't even consider Elician was a child. They didn't care about the results of their actions, all they could think of was to punish the naughty boy.

"Look at the bag he is holding. He is a Thief." Someone yelled.

Hearing this his eyes turned into fury. He had been accused once again for something he didn't do. The very thing he hated his whole life. He would allow himself to be punished but not for something he didn't do.

Never.

All his existence, people have been blaming him for their troubles. He was supposed to be cared for and loved. But……none of them do. Except his mother. He had always feared losing her because there would be no one left to care for him if she passed away.

Everyone closer to the alley were all shouting "Thief" and many other evil things one could say.

"Bad boy"

"Evil child."

People were now running to the crowded area.

Elician's entire existence he would do bad, evil, devilish things but stealing was something he'd dare not to do.

"You are calling me a thief. I am not a thief, That girl is the one not me. She tried to trick me" He yelled but the noise blended in with his words. Making no one here him.

A man from nowhere made the first strike. It was a five inches long metal and it weighs 12kg. The man heaved the metal as it thrust through the air coming right at him. Elician stood there like a good boy. Totally ignoring the metal as it slammed against his back. Everyone became bewildered. They had seen that huge metal while it struck the boy. They were expecting the boy to drop dead or at least crush the ground with all his spine bones shattered. But that didn't happen.

Elician stood there completely unaffected.

"Miracle!"

"Is he even a human?"

" The child is a wizard"

"No . He is a viking."

They uttered in shock.

Elician looked at the man that struck him with the metal with divine hatred.

"Sinner, you tried to hurt me!!" The man heard those words right before he felt something long and hard thrust through his ribs. It was Elician's fingers. He instantly dropped on the ground like a tree.

One down. Many to go.

Elician aimed at his next target. It was the guy with a cutlass.

Its size was massive purposely meant for butchering of meat. The guy had decided to chop some hands off Elician.

The moment he got close, he swung the blade directly towards Elician's left arm and as it neared him, he adjusted his body to the left, making the sword cut nothing but thin air.

The guy two feet away from Elician gulped in shock. If he had been just a little closer, his head would have been flying around by now.

Using a swift movement, Elician sent a fierce punch right at him. His knuckles landed at nothing but his forehead.

Bang!

He instantly felt dizzy as he fell on the ground like a good boy.

"Two," he shouted.

Now they were left with 7 men and countless other women. Elician quickly dashed through the small gap between the people. He wanted to knock them out one by one with ease.

That way they couldn't get him surrounded.

The moment he got out of the circle, an idea flashed his brain. He was going to run faster than he had ever moved and leave the place without any further damages. Just as he began sprinting, he felt empty. His hands!

It was no longer holding the bag. It might have fallen when he made the previous attacks.

He turned his head only to see a man holding the bag with a happy smile on his face running from the battlefield.

"Urh. I will punish that creature." .

***

Far away from the battlefield, few meters away, a figure was standing there watching all the fun stuff that was going on so far. The person swayed her head in a seductive way making her red colored hair sprout in the air.

A smirk drew on her tiny lips which soon changed into a very seductive smile.

"That's my Morning star"

With that, her hair flew in the wind as her body blended with the air.

She vanished.

****

Elician wanted to burn them all and ripe their flesh into pieces. Just as he tried to fry them, he received vibes.

*He saw seven innocent children crying endlessly at their parents. He could feel the pain of them and something else……guilt.* The moment he finished seeing the vision, his heart froze and his eyes became wet. He quickly wiped it off with the black clothes he was wearing.

"Now where did that come from? I can't be responsible for their cries." He once gazed at them. "All these stupid people are parents. For the children's sake I am so not going to kill them. I will just leave before they recognize me.''

He tried to leave the alley with his fast footsteps and just as he made the first two steps,he got a brilliant idea. "Wait, if I can't kill them, why don't I teach them a small lesson"

His gaze landed on the man running endlessly from the battlefield holding his bag.

"You!"

Elician used all the energy left in his body to move as fast as he could, towards that man.

The people also followed. They were not done with Elician yet. Most of them were holding tree branches and bats.

The 65 meters long distance between the two turned to mere centimeters.The moment he neared him, he stuck his two legs making him fly in the air as he bounced off in the pile of sand.

The bag was sent a few meters away from him.

"Ahh," He started crawling his way towards the bag.

"You thief you stole it….." Before he finished his statement, he kicked the man in the face. His face ached with burning sensation as he fell face first on the ground.

"Look, he have killed the man." The crowd growled angrily as they moved in their numbers.

Elician on the other side of the story was tired. He had been meaning to use less energy to fight back against his enemies but things didn't work out that way. On top of that, he had burned up all his strength by just chasing that trash that tried to run with his money.

The aggressors were increasing in their numbers. There no hopes of winning this time. Without any further thoughts Elician did the one thing he had been trying to do all these hours.

He casted a spell. "Nitrobacter_ Rixoboum!"

Everything became slow instantly. An unknown source of light brighten everything making all the aggressors freeze. They could not see or do anything. A strong rays of light brighter than the sun blind folded them all.

Elician smiled.

He easily passed through them as they stood there like statue. He could hear them making noises but they couldn't see him all hear him as he passed right behind them.

Elician sighed in relief the moment he made it through the door of the tiny building. Mom was not yet home which was a good news for him. He ransacked the house until he finally discovered a nice new place to hide his bag.

***

Back at the alley, the people that were chasing him all recovered from their dreams. They could not even remember how they got there in the first place. They all marched their bodies to their houses feeling worn and weaker.

"Did you see how he used the spell you taught him …to evade the crowd?"

" It was quite impressive. I think he is getting stronger than you."

" What? We will see about that"
