Ficool

Chapter 8 - Fear

"Who's interrupting-" He turned around to see who was there, but after seeing them, he immediately regretted it.

"Demons!" As he screamed, the other two, in a trance about their beauty finally snapped out of it and spotted the two horns on their heads.

The three quickly got in formation, ready to attack.

"Captain, what do we do? We're going to die, right?" Nestia asked while crying.

"I won't lie, yes, we will, but let's at least take one of them with us." The captain said, ready to strike.

"Yes, we should target one, but who."

"The girl with white hair, I'll strike while you support me with enhancements Nestia. Aaron, burn her." The captain instructed.

"Yes!"

Seeing that they wanted to fight, Dimitri quicky wanted to stop them to talk.

"Sor-".

"Now!" The captain screamed and went straight to Charlotte.

"Ah!" Charlotte, not prepared, quickly got scared.

Seeing this, Dimitri felt an unreasonable amount of rage for a reason he couldn't explain.

Before the sword could swing down, Dimitri immediately appeared between them and caught the sword with his hand. As he caught the sword, Aaron's strongest fire spell, Fire lance, struck his chest.

"Nice, we got --" As Nestia wanted to celebrate the smoke cleared revealing a perfectly fine Dimitri and showing that the only damage they did was burn a hole in his clothes.

"Cough...cough." 

Turning to look at their captain, they saw him coughing up blood. Looking down, they saw Dimitri's hand, that went straight through his chest.

"Captain!" 

"You really shouldn't have attacked her." Dimitri opened his mouth and hearing his words, his voice cold as ice, they both felt a chill run through their spine.

"Using fire huh, let me show you just how to use fire." Dimitri said as he pulled his hand out of the man's chest and pointed it towards the two. A flicker appeared and the next moment, a massive fire pillar shot towards them, burning everything in its way. Before they could even scream, the fire ingulfed them, and continued forward. After it dissipated, it left a massive, burning line, as far as the eye could see.

Seeing that all three was dead, Dimitri turned around and faced Charlotte.

"Are you okay? They didn't hurt you, right?" He asked gently, scanning her body for any wounds.

"No, I'm okay." She said teary, rather shaken up. As an imprisoned daughter, she had never experienced such a thing and genuinely got scared.

Dimitri pulled her in his embrace and said, "Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you."

Charlotte, being hugged by Dimitri, finally eased up and after a while, she finally felt better and left his arms.

Dimitri felt sad, seeing her leave his embrace, but knew he couldn't force her.

"How were you able to stay so calm?" Charlotte asked.

"Since I was a celebrity, I naturally also had many enemies, so I got forced to take self-defence classes and learned to stay calm in such situations." Dimitri explained.

"Oh."

"Are you two finally done, can we get going now." Devon asked.

"Yeah."

"By the way Dimitri, I'm not gonna ask why you killed them since they deserved it, but did you have you burn a line right though the plains?" Devon asked, rather irritatedly.

"As if you can control your power already." Dimitri shot back.

"We'll I wouldn't use a full power shot."

"I didn't, that was about a fifth of my strength." Dimitri replied and then saw Devon staring at his own system.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Putting 3000 unassigned stat points toward magic power and the rest to mana." He replied calmly.

"Whoa, that's too hasty." Dimitri replied.

"We'll, it's not actually. I've come to realize that we were made to be mages. Just look at our skills and you'll realize it yourself." 

Dimitri started looking at his stats and also found that Devon's statement had some truth in it.

"Okay, I'll follow your plan and dump my points in magic."

"We'll do it too, right Charlotte?" Julia asked.

"Okay."

A few minutes later.

Dimitri looked at his stats and was pleasantly surprised.

"Level 40 already." 

"Only cause you were selfish and killed all three." Devon replied.

"You're just jealous."

Mana points and health points are on a scale of 1:100 to mana and health stat points.

This is a universal truth.
