CHAPTER FIVE/ THE CAPTAIN’S DELAYED SNACK

Marryworth let out a loud scream as she tried to climb out the hole. Her hands clutched tightly on her sword as she turned back, realizing there was no other way of getting out of this situation.

The Shadowy man finally walked out the darkness along with a pack of black and white wolves. The man wearing a slick black suit and black baggy pants, with a massive white cracked AxeBlade on his back.

His skin pale white as he adjusted his black wolf mask, his light blue eyes glowing harder. Black and white bandages around his neck as his long white silky hair flowed with its white curls. Two white stands made into big circles.

"There's no need for introductions, especially not to my soon to be meals." He said calmly.

The wolves instantly lunged at Marryworth without hesitation, their teeth swelled with saliva.

But that's when a burst of light blue glowing flames, white puffy smoke, and blue magical dust came right down inside the hole.

All the wolves getting eradicated into blasts of blood and meat. Marryworth closing her eyes as the bright red blood splattered on her face.

She then suddenly got grabbed by someone, their hand pulling all the way up and out the hole, back into the forest.

She yelped, wondering who the heck just lifted her. Marryworth turning in surprise to see none other than Charles Qiling, looking at her with indifference and confusion.

"You're lucky I just got off my break. You would've been mauled in seconds, ya know?" Charles said indifferently, his dark blue messy hair fluttering in the wind.

The shadowy man instantly bounced out from under the cave, unsheathing his AxeBlade within a flash as he swung it.

A gust of wind swept the grass and dirt off the ground as the impact whirled towards the two.

But Charles snapped his fingers, summoning a light blue bubble shield, reflecting the impact right off.

"Hmmm. And I'm guessing you're the Follow Master, huh? Captain Jezrogia, I presume."

"THAT'S THE FOLLOW MASTER!? WAIT!? THESE WOLVE ATTACKS WERE FROM A FOLLOW MASTER??!!?? WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL US!?!" Marryworth yelled in frustration as she struggled in anger and sadness.

Charles rolled his eyes as he threw Marryworth into the air. stepping back as he unsheathed his Sagitta Blade. "Relax, we just found out after all the killings. So they sent me over."

Captain Jezrogia raised an eyebrow as he spun his AxeBlade at a fast paste before he gripped it hard.

That's when a burst of silver chains emerged from the blade, wrapping around all the trees as he pulled them. The large trees getting pulled right at Charles.

Bark and wood getting ripped off in a flash of light. The dark black leaves swirling around in a heap of speed

Charles took a deep breath, the air getting tenser around him as he spun his hand. A surge of blue and white spells zooming around it.

Then he released a burst of magical blue flame dust. It spreading all over as magical shields appeared, pushing the trees right back in large gusts of wind.

Charles sighed before using a floating spell as he zoomed up, grabbing Marryworth before she fell, looking down at the Captain with a slight hint of curiosity.

"You know. I have always wondered...what exactly are Follow Masters. How do they work…..and how can I break them?"
