assault. As the group came within a few yards of him, they stopped walking and the first two men turned to say goodbye to the man with the sword. They thanked him for the good time they had and said it was a shame that the new girls wouldn’t cooperate.
Kai knew what they meant. His vision went red in that instant. Up he went, sprinting towards the three men. He lunged in between the first two men, slashing the fat man’s neck with his dagger while simultaneously burying his sword up through the skinny man’s abdomen until the point of his blade protruded from the man’s upper back. Not wanting to waste time retrieving his sword, Kai let it go with the skinny man and charged the swordsman with his dagger at the ready.
The swordsman was quick to draw his sword, but Kai kicked the man in the groin and stabbed the shoulder of the man’s sword arm. The swordsman was about to cry out, but Kai landed a massive right hook to his face, shattering his jaw and sending him to the ground. The Ranger then bent down and wrestled the sword from his enemy with ease. The swordsman’s eyes were wide with surprise as Kai used his own sword against him.
With the three of them disposed of, Kai quickly retrieved his sword from the skinny man’s body, and kept the other sword as well. He stormed up to the door and, summoning all of his rage and strength, kicked it wide open. The light from the house was bright, but Kai adjusted quickly. Inside the first room there was another large man, standing just a few feet from the door.
The guard stood frozen by surprise with a blank expression on his face as Kai entered the room. He kept looking down at the splintered wood from the door instead of going for his sword. Kai exploited the opportunity by slashing both swords across the man’s chest and double thrusting into his chest for a quick finish. The guard crumpled to the floor with a grotesque thud.
Kai ran down the hallway, careful to take notice of any movement. He could hear heavy footsteps from upstairs, as well as some shouting. He knew his entrance had woken the entire house, but he was more than ready to deal with them.
Halfway down the hallway a door opened up and two men entered into Kai’s line of sight. One was holding a sword, and the other was loading a small crossbow. Kai expertly threw one of his swords. The man with the sword was able to duck out of the way, but the crossbowman was struck in the chest. In reflex to the strike, the crossbowman jerked and the crossbow was fired, accidentally striking the other man in the leg.
Kai smiled at the sight of the two men writhing in pain. He sprinted towards them and finished the pair with a series of deft strikes before pressing onwards. This time, he left the second sword where it was and again pulled his dagger from its sheath with his left hand. As he neared the end of the hallway he could see a staircase and two doors. Kai decided that one door was undoubtedly the front door of the house, while the second door probably led to a cellar or basement area.
He was in the process of deciding whether to go upstairs or downstairs first, but then a large, heavily-muscled man came bounding down the stairs holding a large mace.
“You will die here,” the man growled. Then he lunged forward and swung his mace several times.
Kai stepped back, then to the side, and then back again to dodge the heavy strikes. He smiled at the large man and blew him a kiss. The large man became enraged and started to press his assault, but Kai flicked his dagger in an underhanded throw and the dagger sunk deeply into the man’s gut just above his right hip.
“Aaargh!” the man bellowed. He limped back a step or two, but then he again tried to move towards Kai, swinging his large mace.
Kai took three steps back and then changed direction. He ran straight at the mace wielder until he was almost within range. His foe let out a loud battle-cry to Khullan, the first ruler of hell, and began swinging
