Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Uzi tilted forward, his footing unsteady. His hands were wild with sparks of glowing light. The poison around his shoulder lightened, being fully neutralized from the holy magic.

"The Fuck were you thinking!" Kael screamed, crawling up fully to his feet. The knight now was not paying any attention to him

.

"I.....I needed to make a gamble" Uzi started, greatly short of breath, even with the poison neutralized, the wound was still there. "It worked, didn't it?"

Before Kael could respond, the knight leaped forward, its blade swung overhead, coming down with vigorous force, Uzi, in an instant, punched the blade, the holy and poison magic clashing. Uzi gritted through the pain as the blade began to slowly tour through Uzi's knuckle. At the same time, the holy magic spread across the blade, the blade began to crack. Uzi threw his other fist against the blade, grabbing the side of it, beginning to pull it towards the ground.

The knight raised a foot, slamming it into Uzi's left foot. Uzi squealed as the bones in his foot began to crack, and wither due to the pressure and poison.

Kael used up the last of his mana, a bright light came into being in his hands, almost instantly, not like holy magic, the light was closer to a light from a fire in the far distance, opposed to the bright white and yellow holy magic.

"Gun Magic" Kael screamed! "Light Basuka!"

Suddenly, a bright light came from the weapon, a burst of light slammed into the knight's helmet, the knight was halfway thrown to the side, stumbling backwards in smoke. Kael fell to his knee's, now completely drained of the stuff. Uzi used this opportunity, slamming the blade to the ground, still in the knight's hand. He raised his now broken foot, and despite all the pain, slammed it into the blade, the blade broke in half.

In that second, a spike of pain sent shivers down Uzi's body.

"Why did I do that?" Uzi yelped as he grabbed his foot, jumping up and down.

"Pay Attention!" Kael yelled as the knight walked out of the smoke. A pressure filled the area, and coming from a source the two knew was coming straight from the knight.

"This is nothing!" Uzi remarked. "Those five who sent me here, they had presents way stronger than this!"

Which was true, but in this new body, it didn't feel much weaker by comparison. Also, looking at Kael, he was struggling to stay on his knees. And with this shoulder and foot, there was not much Uzi had left in his.

The knight was different now. Half of his helmet was gone, underneath was simply a purple smoke.

"Uzi! That's poison gas!" Kael screamed before his arms gave out, falling face first, finally giving in to the pressure.

The gas formed eyes, a mouth, and then a whole face, a purple face blowing in the wind. Its eyes are now locked on Uzi. Uzi struggled to stand, he was losing too much blood. The knight charged, Uzi at that moment, tried to lean to dodge, the blade now too short to hit, Uzi could see the look of confusion on the knight's face, like it had never had a problem like this before.

The knight looked at the blade, now broken in half, his concentration shot back at Uzi as the pain of his foot back up jolting, "OW OW OW" Uzi screamed, not even mentioning his knuckles or his shoulder.

Then, the knight spoke.

"Who are you?" The knight asked, no emotion in his voice, almost like a robot, but with a human voice.

Uzi stumbled onto the ground, still grabbing his foot, he noticed his vision starting to get foggy. "Dam." Uzi thought to himself. "Im starting to lose consciousness, there's too much blood loss."

The knight, getting no answer slowly walks towards Uzi as his sword is raised to an overhead swing as the knight dashed at Uzi as a bright light shot across the area making the knight stumble as he's knocked back off his feet into the surrounding trees.

Uzi turned around the best he could, he gave a weak smile as Guntic stood back, fire in his hand, the carriage right behind him.

"Sorry kid." Guntic started. "Had to find a way over here, off trail you kn-." Guntic stopped as he started to cough up some blood.

"Guntic!" Uzi yelled as his attention was turned to the trees in front of him. The trees burned, a smell of ash already tarnishing the area. A massive branch came crashing down as the knight slowly came out of the fire, the knight limped, missing an entire arm and the left side of its face gone, only one eyes, the poison gas face was smaller, only half the size now, the poison now leaked all over, much less strong on keeping the form.

"UZI!" Guntic screamed, "Whatever that thing is, it seemed to be on its last leg!"

Guntic watched as Uzi attempted to get up, before falling backwards, presumably passing out. He knew that his old body wasn't doing him any favours, a blast of fire he used to be able to use so easily, now takes everything out of him.

The knight limped its way slowly towards Guntic, "You stay back you hear!" Guntic warned as he backed up. He hobbled into back of the cart, coughing as he searched through bins to the side, the knight, limped his way onto the back, he raised his sword the next he could, before he could swing, his arm started to disintegrate, when Guntic, finding the perfect tool, threw a bucket of water on the arm.

Ï knew it!¨ Guntic exclaimed as the water ran down his arm, slowly turning the arm into water. It's made of poison, so water delutes you, turning you into diluted poison water.

Guntic threw another water bucket into the knights chest, the chest instantly started to melt, a little ball in the exact center, cracks,, more and more, before breaking in pieces, instantly, the rest of the night turned into a little cloud, before disappearing completely.
