Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Invaders

The group couldn't believe their eyes, a krukin who could speak their language?!

"How can you speak..." Liro was the first one to talk with his trembling voice, he turned to Darian and his face was like saying, "Did you even know that something like this exists?"

Darian moved his head to say no.

"They helped us... they taught your language... the language of the invaders!" The krukin looked at them with his angry eyes... it was extremely mad.

After hearing these words everyone was shocked, did they just get called invaders? How is this possible?

"What do you mean invaders!" said Vane, shouting so hard that his voice echoed through the room.

"YOU ARE THE ONE WHO INVADED US AND STARTED TO KILL US ALL!" Vane was even madder now, even if his body was crying from pain.

"We were just defending... but it is over for you humans now... we are getting too powerful, you are just some foolish people that hope to be heroes!" said the krukin, his voice was getting deeper, and he started to walk closer to them.

"And you are going to die here... then the other humans will reach you too!" The krukin made a sprint and rushed towards the group.

Darian was able to create an ice wall to stop it... but it was useless, the enemy destroyed the wall.

Luckily this wall was able to give Vane the time to react, he turned into a boffalo and he was able to protect everyone.

He used his horn to tank one of its nails... but it was useless, the enemy was just too strong.

The krukin pierced into Vane's body, Darian barely had the time to react, and Liro's legs were shaking.

Darian created an ice shard, the krukdill was hit, some smoke was created.

Once the krukin gained his vision again he saw two boffalo and no trace of the two humans.

He rushed against one of the boffalo, they both moved simultaneously.

Both boffalo were able to jump, and while one boffalo was falling on the enemy, the other one created an ice shard that came right into his body.

"COME OUT YOU FOOLISH HUMAN!" The enemy destroyed the shard with one pair of nails and with the other one he was able to hit the other boffalo... or at least that is what he thought.

He turned his face away, so he wasn't looking at the other boffalo anymore, Liro was using his magic to make Darian look like a boffalo to the enemy's eyes.

At the exact moment that the enemy turned his face away, Darian returned to normal, and Liro created two boffalo, so the enemy hit the wrong one... Vane was on top of it!

While he was on top of him, Vane turned into a polar bear, and attached his body to the krukin's one, he was slowly killing it from behind.

Darian got in front and hit the enemy with some ice shards that he couldn't destroy and he got hit.

"ARGHHH!!!" The enemy emitted a cry of pain... but it wasn't because of the hits that the people were giving him, it was because of the attack he was making...

The enemy's spinal column went out from his body and it grabbed Vane's body.

"AAAAHHHH!" Vane was feeling a lot of pain, his whole body was slowly being crushed by the bones.

Darian saw that the enemy had a big hole in his stomach, maybe because of the attack, and he tried to hit the enemy there.

The explosion was enough to free Vane's body, some smoke was created again.

"STOP THIS!!!" The krukin attacked the polar bear again... but some ice shards began to protect his body... it was again Darian!

The krukin was thrown away... and he saw the polar bear turning into a human.

He roamed around with his eyes to search for something... that's when he understood how the humans were winning.

It didn't say anything, it simply got up and waited for something... another illusion!

Vane's vision was now returning blurry and his whole body was bleeding, but he had to resist!

Vane rushed to him like a boffalo, and when he saw that another ice shard was going against him, it was crushed against its nails and it exploded.

After the smoke was created he saw again two boffalo... but he didn't think about them, in fact he simply started to roam with his gaze around the room... that's when he saw it!

There was some ice in the room... it wasn't there before, in fact it was thanks to Liro's magic.

The plan was to confuse the enemy, Liro would use his magic to modify Darian's aspect, but Liro could only create an illusion once, so when Darian's body was modified he wasn't hiding anymore.

Darian had created a little ice wall, and Liro was constantly making it look like stone when the enemy was looking away or was distracted.

Before that moment the krukin hadn't understood how things worked... but now he had.

He started to rush towards the ice wall.

"LIROOOOO!!!" screamed Darian and cast an ice shard, it exploded dealing no damage, but now smoke was created again.

Darian could not see anymore, what was happening? He was scared but he rushed into the smoke... that's when he saw it...

Liro was standing on the ground, his whole body bleeding, he wasn't even scared, he had already lost the possibility to feel emotions, so he didn't understand that Darian was scared.

But the worst thing was another... Vane's body was pierced by the krukin's nails.

The enemy threw Vane's body away, it returned to normal and Vane had a huge hole in his stomach.

"No..." said Darian, scared, the enemy was getting closer to Liro, it was the end!

"Mass blade..." both Darian and Liro heard a voice from behind, it was Kael!! There were Lara and Allocen too!

Allocen had created a dirt golem, it grabbed Vane's body and put it closer to Lara, who started to heal him.

Now the krukin's body was being crushed extremely hard, once the pressure finished it was thrown violently against the wall.

"Why are you here?!" said Darian, both surprised and happy.

"It was taking the three of you a lot of time to arrive... we decided that it was time for us to help you." said Kael, getting closer to the enemy.

It rushed towards him... but it was useless, Kael had created a small space in which gravity was strange.

The enemy didn't know what to do, so it started flying, Kael jumped, and because the gravity was lower he was able to make a really high jump.

He kicked the enemy really hard and it crashed again into the throne he was sitting on before.

"I'm sorry but you lost." Kael was about to finish him, but the enemy started talking again.

"You humans... you got extremely lucky that you had your companions... I can't win anymore." The krukin grabbed something in the rubble, it was a red stone.

He used his nail to destroy it, the stone suddenly became green.

A magic portal suddenly opened behind him, and he started to walk into it while facing the humans.

"It isn't the last time that we meet, humans... we will get our revenge." The krukin immediately entered the portal, Darian cast an ice shard but it was too late, the portal had already closed.

Had they won? Darian didn't know what to think, Vane was gravely injured, Liro was bleeding from his whole body and Darian saw Snowy coming out of his body... and he passed out too.
