(Third Person POV)
Ellion parried a spear with ease, stepping to the side and swinging his sword through a man's body, cleaving it in half. Everyone that was conscious watched as the man's top half fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
The disturbing thud was resounding, filling the air as a gasp was followed. Then, for some reason, there was a loud battle cry, several men charging at Ellion, who was straightening up.
Ser Qarl Templeton watched as Ellion easily avoided their attacks, cutting them down with simple swings, blood spraying everywhere as he simply walked through them. Ellion would dodge and counter, swinging his sword and cutting through their armor like it was a soft piece of bread.
Blood and guts spilled everywhere as Ellion so casually slayed dozens of men, a large pool of blood forming as a pile of corpses was left behind in mere moments.
The fear of the Seven Gods of the Faith struck Ser Qarl, who was holding his sword, his eyes widened in pure shock. He never thought that a single man, much less someone of Ellion's age, was capable of slaying men so easily.
"I...." Ser Qarl managed, "What...might....is this?" [a/n: ;)]
Ellion swung his sword down vertically, splitting a man in half as blood sprayed everywhere, displaying a gruesome sight. The blood stained his clothes and face, nearly matching the shade of his hair.
After killing dozens of men in a matter of minutes, without much effort, the remaining men that were surrounding him stopped in their tracks, their eyes widened in fear.
"Is....is he some sort of demon?" One of the men said, "He is not real. No man is capable of doing this, no matter how mighty they are!!" [a/n: ;)]
Ellion was holding his sword in his hand, raising it up and leaning it on his shoulder, looking over at Ser Qarl Templeton. Qarl saw the serious look on his face, Ellion's demeanor had changed completely. Ser Qarl and everyone else present knew what exuded from Ellion.
Bloodlust.
There was no escaping this alive, should they attempt to fight.
Ellion was displaying his overwhelming power, which nobody would be able to match, no matter how strong they are.
Ellion took a step forward, "This is your only chance in surrendering." He said seriously, "If any of you decide to keep fighting, then you will not live. As for those who are unconscious, I will leave their fates to the King. Execution is expected, make no mistake."
Qarl glared at him, "Y-You dare..." He said, "Why do you protect that mad bastard?!"
Ellion tilted his head, "You got one thing wrong," he said, "I don't to protect the King. I protect the others. If you are to force your way into the Keep, there is a risk of harming someone else. I will not have that."
"That is a lie." Qarl said, "Someone like you, a mere bastard Knight, would not care much about-"
"AGGHH!!!!" A shout cut him off
The man next to Qarl collapsed to the ground, his leg having been cut. Qarl was taken aback by this and he looked at him, seeing blood was splattering everywhere as he cried in pain.
"What in the...." Qarl said
Ellion was in front of him, giving him a serious expression, "Maybe you're right." I said, "Maybe I have an ulterior motive. But the truth is this; you are not going to take a step into these halls."
Qarl swung his sword at him but Ellion cut through the steel blade, sending the piece flying to the side.
Before he could react, Ellion pierced through his armor, running his blade through his stomach. The Knight widened his eyes and trembled uncontrollably as blood dripped down to the ground. He looked at the killer look in Ellion's eyes, which took him by surprise.
"You....!!" He managed
Multiple men rushed over, trying to aid him but they were hit with another burst of Conqueror's haki, which caused them to collapse to the ground.
Ellion then pulled out his blade, watching as Ser Qarl collapsed to his knees, clutching the hole in his armor.
"H-How...." He managed, "This....!"
"Hm....." Ellion said as he pressed his bloodied blade against the man's neck, "I don't know. Maybe it is because my Willpower is greater than all of you. You are all beneath me, you lowlife filth."
Qarl looked at him, "You don't know....anything..." He said, trying to compose himself, "Y-You.....the King...."
"Hm?" Ellion said, "What about him?"
"He....He is a liar..." Qarl's eyes began to fill with tears, "A liar....."
"What?" Ellion said, "Did he swear by the gods that he didn't fuck your wife and sister?"
"Y-You fool." Qarl gave him a bloodied smirk, "You don't know half the shit that your King does. He is a perverse and mad!"
"Oh, you don't have to tell me twice about that." Ellion said, "I know that much."
"Do you know.....that he....." Qarl coughed up blood, "F-Fuck....."
"Hm..." Ellion narrowed his eyes, "What? Spit it out?"
"He lied to me." He said, "He-.....aghh..."
Ellion stared at him for a couple of seconds before his eyes slowly widened in realization, "Oh." He said, "I see."
Qarl coughed up more blood, "You....."
"Well." Ellion sighed, "That's too bad."
In a swift motion, he cut the man's head off.
The head rolled on the ground as his body collapsed down to the ground with a thud.
Ellion stepped back to see the gruesome sight of bodies piled up in the courtyard, with several men stirring awake from the quick Conqueror's burst.
"Huh." He said, "I don't know why, but I figured it would be harder to deal with them. How about that?"
He cleaned his blade with his sleeve, his shirt already covered in blood. He heard the groans of pain from the men he didn't kill.
"Now....." He said as he looked at them, "What to do with you?"
"Should I kill you?"
