After carving out the monster stones from the three imps, Xavier continued his hunt. He held a sword in his hand as he ran threw the forest, as his time was slowly running out. After running for a bit, he soon found the last group of imps, a group of four imps sitting on a tree. Xavier clicked his tongue as his wish was not granted. Taking up a nearby stone, he threw it towards one of the imp, and as they did before, this one dodged and flew towards him. Dropping his bag to the ground, like he did in all the other fights before, he stepped out into the open. As the imp flew towards him, he sidestepped out of the way, causing it to miss his body completely.
"Arggghh." He screamed as he spun around and slashed down his sword, slamming the imp in the ground and leaving a deep wound in it's back. As Xavier finished it off, the the other three imps flew towards him. Taking his dagger into his hand, Xavier waited until they were close enough, before he threw the dagger into the eye of one of the imps. The imp fell to the ground, and the other two circled him in the air, looking for a moment to strike. Xavier stuck one of his swords in the ground, before walking over to the imp with the dagger in it's eye and stabbed it in the back, killing it.
With his back turned to it, one of the imps flew towards him full speed, it's mouth wide open and it's claws prepared to rip into his body. Xavier looked over his shoulder with a smirk and leaned his body to the side, avoiding the imps attack. He delivered an uppercut kick to imps stomach, which nearly caused him to lose his balance. The other imp flew down as well, and Xavier quickly turned around to face it. The imp slashed it's claw at him and he quickly blocked it with his sword. He gritted his teeth and pushed it off, before slashing towards it and the imp dodged. Xavier clashed furiously with the imp, it's claws slowly chipping away at the sword's durability.
"Shit." Xavier said as the sword was thrown from his hand and the imp looked at him with an ecstatic smile, before flying towards him. Xavier ran towards the sword, before changing directions and rushing towards the dead imp with the dagger still stuck in it's eye. The imp flew at him ecstaticly as he tried to pull out the dagger and he looked over his shoulder to see the imp incoming and fell onto the ground, successfully pulling out the dagger. The imp dived towards him, swinging it's claw and he quickly moved his head to the side, narrowly avoiding it's sharp claw. He grabbed one of it's horns before stabbing it in the neck, causing blood to splash on his face and he quickly pushed the imp on the ground. The imp weakly swung it's claws, cutting his chest and he angrily pulled out his dagger and stabbed it in the neck once more, killing it.
Xavier felt like lying on the ground due to his exhaustion, but he remembered that there was one last imp left.
"Where could it..." Xavier said, looking for the imp when he looked over his shoulder and saw the imp flying towards him angrily. He dodged awkwardly and the imp managed to slice him in the back. Xavier felt the blood flowing out of the fresh wound and sighed when he realized it wasn't too deep, and glared at the imp. The imp floated a bit above ground, before flying towards him. He stood there, ready to meet the imp head on and when the imp swung it's claws at him, and he grabbed it's hand before slamming it on the ground. He stabbed the dagger towards the imps neck, and the monster grabbed the blade, taking him by surprise. With the blade still being a bit dull, only a shallow wound was created on his hand. The two of them were locked in a desperate struggle, which Xavier was slowly losing, until he pressed his knee in his opponent's stomach, knocking the air out of it's lungs for a moment, causing the imp to lose concentration.
"Argh-" The imp didn't even get to finish screaming as the dagger plunged into it's neck and Xavier fell on his back, breathing heavily as he looked at the sky, which was slowly turning orange.
"I did it, I actually managed to kill them, with three extras at that, and with a bit of time to spare too." Xavier said
