Chapter 6 - Village Attack

Ting!

Ren blocked the blow that was headed towards his father. Ren smirked, he was right on time. The ogres were perplexed by his strength. Their expression was taken aback.

Ren immediately repelled their blows and then he pushed back their heavy weapons. His feet had sunken to their sheer force and then he carried his father away. His mother then healed him and then Ren went to front lines.

"Rey! I will heal you, hang in there!" His mother Elle said. Her hands was glowing with green hue light. Then his mother was worried, "Ren, be careful!"

Ren then smiled, "It's okay mom, I will protect you both."

He immediately was seen by his bullies.

"Hah!? Protect them both? Just how cocky you are Trash!" Shouted by several youths from afar.

"Hey, is that the classless trash of our village?" One of the youth said.

"What is his name again?" The other one said.

"Ren, his name is Ren," said one underling.

"Ren huh," their leader said.

"Hey trash! Classless weakling! Your father will get killed because of your trashness! You will only become a burden to your father." He said to him.

Well, if he would imagine, it was partly true, he was indeed a burden. And so, he stabbed his sword to the ground.

"See? The damn trash even surrendered his sword! Hahaha! You will beg to the ogres? Hah! How foolish, you will only get killed. That's right! Beg to them, I wanted to see a spectacle. Beg for your life! Beg! Hahaha!"

Ren then went to walk towards the ogres. Slowly walking and then step by step, he throd. The ogres were chuckling, they saw a kid that will surrender to them.

Then after he was near them, they began laughing. They did not expect that someone would surrender to them.

"Ren!" Elle shouted. Her tears poured down her cheeks and then in her helplessness, she saw the ogres to attack him with humongous two handed metal club.

Then after, Ren closed his eyes and then smiled at his mother. "Ren!!!" His mother shouted with all she got.

Swish! Swing! Swosh!

Then in a flash, the arms of the ogres were cut. Weapons with their hands embedded dropped on the ground. Blood sprayed right after.

They were perplexed, what just happened? All they thought. Then they saw in his hands, double curved daggers dripping with blood.

"Wait!? He slashed them with just a curved dagger?" The leader of the bullies was shocked.

"Hmm, my sword is not worthy to kill ogres, my daggers are enough." He said to them, then he dashed.

"Wait? You will face them with just daggers? How dumb! Classless trash!" Said the leader of bullies.

Ren then flickered and made an afterimage of his self in his sheer speed.

He appeared in the front of one ogre and he was smashed by it. But he twisted and evaded it. Leaped in the air and then stabbed the forehead. He twisted his dagger and the ogre died on the spot while standing. It then crashed to the ground head first and Ren pulled the dagger right after.

He ogres roared right after the death of their comrade and dashed towards him. Ren then was attacked by a horizontal swing of club and he ducked. Stabbing it's belly and then slashed upwards towards its face.

The spectators were impressed as well as revered him. But it has a bit of fear mixed in in their reverence.

"He, he is a monster!" Muttered one of the underlings.

Ren then blocked one blow with his dagger and his feet sunken to the sheer force. He immediately pushed back his enemy's weapon then threw the dagger on its face then grabbed it back and pulled it sidewards. Ripping the flesh of his enemy. He immediately flicked to the side and stabbed the other three in a second.

He was like a lightning and his speed was unmatched. The ogres were not able to land a blow. He threw the dagger on one to its face but the projectile was blocked by it's metal club. The weapon flipped upwards and he grabbed it mid air.

He immediately flipped and slashed its back and landed on the ground. The ogres could not follow him and he dashed towards their side and reverse slashed their bellies. Passing each of them and then leaving the ogres in disarray. He spun around them and then landed on one of them. Stabbing its neck with his two curved daggers.

He flipped backwards then landed on the ground. He dashed sideways and disappeared in their sight. He ran and then slashing them one by one. Making blood spray on his path.

Right at the hills, stood a man that has bony armour. His cape was fluttering as his weapon scythe was on his back. He has white to ashen hair caressed by the winds. His complexion was pale and has blue eyes. He was tall and thin build.

He saw the battle in the village and was amazed. He descended to the hills and then watched closer. He saw a boy that has a dagger on him and was butchering his enemies. Arms and heads flung upwards on his path with blood sprays. Even with his distance was from afar, he could clearly see the chaos. This made his curiosity to heighten and intriguingly saw the ogres to panic. Some were running away from him.

In the books, by far, he knew ogres were more aggressive, brave and looking down on the enemies. It was not in the records to make them feel fear. He was impressed with such spectacles. And so he grabbed his wine and drank while watching. He sat at the ground and watched.

Ren immediately dashed and then finished them all off. One ogre attacked the bullies and they screamed. Ren acted swiftly and then threw his dagger. He grabbed the dagger and then he twisted it then slashed and the blood sprayed to their faces. Making them scream after. They immediately ran hurriedly while their tails curled behind their legs.

Then right after, his parents were attacked. Ren dashed and he was a second late. He could not reach them on time.

His sister blocked the way of the ogre. His mother stood up and then covered her daughter. She was slashed instead of her.

Ren then blacked out and with an outburst of emotion. He forced his soul to awaken. Like a soul that ripped open his carapace. He felt like his inner self was emerging.

There was a dark cloud of ghosts and skeletons that appeared above him. It was a cloud manifestation of his class.

Meanwhile, the man in the hills saw it, "An awakening! Wait, I know that premonition. That's....."

Ren then attacked the ogre and stabbed it on the back. He stabbed again and again. He was overwhelmed by his emotion. Then on his back, she was hugged by his mother.

"Ren it's okay now, I am fine," she hugged him from the back. Ren was stupified, he saw his mother unharmed. "Wait.... You're okay?" He was shocked.

"I healed," Elle then carressed his hair and kissed his forehead.

Ren then finished them all off and they all hugged as a family, crying. Tears were dripping from their cheeks.

Ren was being hugged by his mother and his father. They were deeply happy with their son. His sister was crying and she hugged him.

"Brother! I am so worried, I thought we will die!" She sniffled.

Ren then smiled and he was also happy that his family was safe. Right then, he saw a man who was wearing a bony armour. Making him get alerted. He was relaxed in his composure and was pleased.

He approached and introduced himself, "I am Xule, a master in Necrotic arts. Also known a Necromancer. I would like to recruit your son as my apprentice!"
