The raider screamed in anguish, the sword in his hand flailing wildly as he tried to hack at his unexpected assailant.
Although it took some time to explain not even half a minute has pass since when this was all taking place.
Hulu seeing Von dispatch his prey like flies decided to get serious. As his scimitar clashed with the whip- chain again, he twisted the blade in a weird angle before thrusting it deep into the dessert sand.
His move effectively pinned his scimitar and the chain down at once, throwing the hooded figure of balance while rendering them both unarmed.
By the time she realized what he was planning to do, Hulu had already crossed the distance between them and was now swinging his previously concealed dagger at her.
She ducked and dodged while backing up, doing many mid air flips that would put a lot of acrobats on earth to shame.
Some of her party members noticed her tough situation and wanted to go help her, but one of them was hit by a flying dagger thrown by Hulu, the rest were swiftly shot down by Von.
By now Von had already dispatched another three members of the party once again reducing their numbers. Now apart from the guy whom peanut turned into a chew toy, the leader and the hooded figure facing off against Hulu, only three of the party members remained.
Maya and Johan had already found themselves an elevated mound and we're now seated and watching the ongoing battle while munching on some snacks they had brought along on the trip.
Of the four unoccupied assailants, one of them decided to run away, but he didn't get far before the leader of the party brutally cut him down.
As he fell on the dessert floor with blood spilling out from his fatal wounds, he looked with shock into the blood shot eyes of the party leader.
"We either fight or die trying!!" the leader roared and rushed towards Von in a last ditch effort to turn the tides of the two minutes battle.
The remaining two members of the party rushed towards Maya and Johan in an attempt to take them hostages.
Seeing this, Peanut quickly finished of her opponent with a swift crunch before doubling in size and attacking the remaining two members of the party.
On of the daggers in Hulu's hands sliced of the hood from the hooded figures cloak, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with pale creamy skin and long silky black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall.
"Wait!! Don't kill me, I'm also an outlaw just like you guys!! Please spare me!!" the green eyes girl cried out timidly in a soft almost tiny voice, very unfit for a bandit.
In the span of ten seconds, Von's bow once again morphed into a katana. With one swing he looped of the hands of the leader that were tightly clenched unto a longsword causing two fountains of blood to spurt and water the barren dessert sand.
With a second swing he looped of the leader's head and turned around to observe the rest of the battlefield.
Peanut made quick work of the two members of the party that were attacking Maya and Johan, taking her time to chomp them up bit by bit.
Maya found it hard to relate the meek and haughty little cat to this bloody monster that chewed on human flesh, though after witnessing similar scenes like this one more than twenty times she was slowly getting numb to it.
Seeing that everything was in order Von turned to Hulu and signaled him to stop. This shocked Hulu a bit as He had never scene Von leave any survivors.
~Could it be that he has such tendencies..~ Hulu thought while blushing a bit. Forgetting that he was also a survivor
"Now now little hybrid, what are you doing all the way hear in the heathen domain.." Von slurry voice drawled out, sending shivers that the green eyed girl's spine as she found herself getting lost in his swirling black eyes.
~How did he figure it out~ her inner voice screamed in shock, while she frove in fear externally.
"Just who the fuck are you. " she managed to mutter asking the same question Hulu asked when they first met, albeit with a gulped.
