Rain pours heavily in Camp Forsake as Lycoris Compay Attempts to regroup with Camp Daybrake.
"We're still a few days out from Camp Daybrake." A Man with Messy Black Hair said while he stares at the map of the region
"At this rate the men will starve or fall to the Revenants." The man looks at a Women "Any ideas Lena?" Lena looks at the map and thinks for a long second, then She points to a small ravine on the map.
"We can travel through here Karolus."
Karolus looks at the Ravine and puts his hand to his chin "If we take this way we'll Lose half our men but we'll link up with Camp Daybrake in a days time. It's a hard call."
He thinks for a moment Then a Nobleman walks into the tent, and drops his Sword onto the table. "Yes, a Call your not intitaled to make" The Nobleman says with authority
"Your a lowly mercenary who's here to support the troops of Creya Kingdom nothing more and Much less" he say with a snarky expression.
"With all do respect-" Karolus says before the Noblemen cuts him off, putting his hand up.
"With all do respect you'll do as I say Mercenary. Or I'll send you on your way without pay." Karolus holds his tongue bet grips the table turning his knuckles white.
"We'll take the ravine and meet up with Camp Daybrake then we'll finally get out of this Hell hole." As he walks to his quarters a guards man rushes into the tent "Are you Sir Karolus of Lycoris Company?, where under attack from the south the Revenants are here in number and we need your support in the battle." The Guardsman says almost out of breat. "and who sent this order?"
"Lady Lori of house Nighthall"
Karolus sighs then he pick up his Dagger.
"Show me the way Guardsman" Karolus says.
As the Guardsmen leads the way the fighting is heard in the distant, War cry's and the clashing of Metal, horns sounding and the occasional clash of Magic.
The Revenants Attack is in full swing and the Knights of Cerya Kingdom are on the back foot but a lone women is holding back a horde of undead soldiers with a small battalion of Cerya Knights.
"Strike true and fast Men, make sure to send them straight back to Hell!" She yells as she fires a barrage of fireballs at the enemy
As Karolus approaches he draws his Dagger and casts a shadow double to fight by his side
"I received your message Lori it looks like you need a hand." Karolus says as he stabs a Revenant in the neck. "It's about time you got here I don't know how long we could last without your aid" she says as Karolus throws a knife at a Revenant about to attack Lori's rear striking the undead head killing it instantly. "Lycoris is tasked with providing a distraction so the Cerya Kingdoms soldiers can retreat." Karouls scoffs at the orders
"Why is it that we're always the ones left fighting the Revenants? This is starting to piss me off!" Karolus yells as he cast an aerial spell that rains down Dark Magic to drain the Essence of its targets.
"Im sick and tired of this Noblemen and his damn Pride!" Karouls barely dodges an arrow shot by a Revenant Sharpshooter
Karouls blade burns with purple magic he points the blade into the sky.
"I call apon the dark god of death to aid me in my endeavor to vanquish my enemies and to fell anyone that opposes me I cast Black Hollow!" As Karolus finished his Cast a black sphere forms above, crashing down onto the ground causing an explosion that wipes out half of the Revenant Force Leaving a creator in the ground.
Karolus falls to a knee sweating hard and out of breath "That.. that really takes all the Mana out of me anyone have a Mana potion?"
The soldiers watch as the Revenats retreat into the mountains some rejoice while others fall to the ground tired and exhausted.
Lori helps Karolus up and hands him a Mana Potion.
As Karolus Drinks the Mana potion Lena and The Noblemen arrive.
"At least your magical ability is somewhat impressive for someone with no noble Blood running through there vains." The Noble approach Karolus "But I will not stand by and let someone with Dark Magic walk amongst us as they spred there filth around the world"
The Noblemen Draws his sword pointing it at Karolus.
"Think you fool, if it wasn't for me we would all be overwhelmed by Revenants by now, look around you, your men are half dead and starving." Karolus says while slowly stepping backwards. Lena reaches for her sword and Lori gets ready to cast a spell.
"You harness corrupted magic used by the goddess of death Karlnera!" The noble yells attacks Karouls but he dodges effortlessly
"Last chance noble let this go or you'll die."
The Noble laughs
"A mercanery like you could never beat me in a duel!, your even out if Mana so this fight will be easy!"
Karolus sighs then parry's the nobles strike
"Wha?!-"
The Nobles Sword flies out of his hand and befor he can counterattack Karolus puts his hand on the noble Face.
"Your a fool" Karolus says to the noble.
Suddenly the Nobles Magic and soul is being drained from him. He scream in agony as his soul is being consumed By Karolus's Magic
"Ah.. Now that's better."
The nobles body falls to the ground lifeless the soldiers of Cerya Watch in fear as there lordship was killed in cold blood but they don't dare to move or say anything not wanting to end up like there Lordship.
"W-what are you?" One soldier says
"I am Karolus The Hungry, The Harbenger of Gluttony."
