Dragonborn Chapter 131: Coming Of Age (4) : #Squad_Goals

"Who dares stop my arrow?" The girl shouted.

"Who dares, huh?" I said and walked forward. "I am the one whose surname is Dare! Jon, freakin, Dare!"

"...."

I said my name for everyone to hear as I was stepping forward and took the lead in front of all the other Firemanes.

My name caused a state of silence in the ranks of the Bloodsail people as I am sure my name is already very known between them.

"Jon Dare... Wait! That Jon Dare?"

"The Thane of Winterhold? The one who led the rebels?"

"What is he doing here?"

"It can't be! Is he a Firemane?"

"Firemane! It is possible! His appearance matches them!"

"He... He is the Thane of Winterhold!"

"He killed my father!"

"And killed my brother!"

"My cousin was there too!"

"Unforgivable!"

I was facing the bloodl.u.s.t of two hundred hostile Bloodsails! Still, it kinda felt amazing.

"Hafthor Firemane! Why is that person standing among you?"

"Mord Bloodsail! None of your b.l.o.o.d.y business!"

The tension was reaching its apex between the two parties. We were outnumbered five to one but who see this can clearly tell that it is like five dogs against one bear.

"I need to hear an explanation! Why is the killer of my brother among you, Firemanes!" That guy Mord was furious to the limit!

"I was invited to join the Firemane clan!" I said with a smug smile.

"Join the Firemanes?" Seems like he was not convinced yet.

"Exactly, join the Firemanes! They knew I hunt 'Bloodsails' for fun every weekend so I got an invitation. Neat, right?"

"... Then never think you will walk out of this island alive?" He said as he raised his axe to my face.

"Sigh! I am very certain that no matter how many there are of you, I can take you down the same way I did to your parents, brothers, cousins, or whoever I killed that day. You f.u.c.kers are nothing but cutthroats, pirate sc.u.m, and filthy bandits. Your way of life is based on causing harm and suffering to the innocents by leeching on them till they run dry. In my eyes, killing you f.u.c.kers is the right thing to do. In my eyes, killing you is a way to save a lot of people who are going to suffer at your hands. You know, it is the same way people deal with skeevers and insects. See your worth? I understand that you all have that fake ego that somehow convinced you that you are a human being, and it is the very d.a.m.n thing that makes you detest my words! But I a.s.sure you, as long as killing you contributes to the greater good of the people living around these parts, you will be regarded as a fertilizer to the new word that will be built on the ashes of your tyranny."

That was some speech I kept working on since the moment I heard I am going to meet Bloodsail people on the island. I finally got to say it the coolest way possible!

"Savage!" Jull said in a low tone!

"Haha! Hear him, boys! That's how you should speak!" Frejya looked at our people and said.

My haughty speech made the Firemanes get into the mindset of the exterminator, not the fighter!

"... Is that so?" Mord Bloodsail looked at me with fire burning in his eyes. His fury was beyond reason now.

The Bloodsail main family people stepped forward, they all have similar features so I could tell who they are. In response, the Firemanes main family people stepped forward beside me. They were around thirty and we were ten.

"Thane of Winterhold! Duel me if you dare!"

"I thought you'd nev..."

"Jon, don't fall in that trap! They always request duels but they will shoot you the moment they see that you are winning the duel!" Bjorna said.

"... oh! Is that so? Well, I guess they are pirates after all!"

"Shut up, you redhead b.i.t.c.h! Come and pay the blood price, Jon Dare!" Mord Bloodsail insulted Bjorna and shouted at me.

I was about to step forward but someone stood ahead of me.

"Old Wulf! I have a date with Mr. Grim Reaper over there, don't get sentimental on me already!" I said jokingly to Wulfur who was ahead of me.

"I will fight him, give me that!" He said with a solemn face and extended his hand to my side, he then took the Skyforge Saber I was carrying and turned around.

"Hm?" I was confused for a second but I soon realized it. This Mord dead guy has insulted Bjorna, Wulfur's character is overprotective to the extreme. One of the reasons why Svidi couldn't learn how to fight or cast magic at all.

Still, Wulfur's mood is very grim, he will do something extreme.

I winked to Jull and she nodded! She knows what she has to do.

"... Wulfur!" Bjorna who was two meters to my left stood and sighed with worried expressions on her face.

Oh! Young love! How so cute!

Wulfur walked ahead towards Mord Bloodsail, he was having some dangerous thoughts on how to dismantle him alive for sure.

"Who are you?"

"Name is Wulfur!"

"You are not a Firemane!"

"None of your business!"

"Jon Dare! Are you that afraid? Sending your lackey here won't save you."

"Shut up! Jon can kill the likes of you with a mere thought if he wanted, you are not even worth him replying at you."

"Arrogant fool! Know your place!"

"... Hehe! Anyway, I have something good for you! Jon killed your brother. Well, I am his brother." Wulfur's words were said in his calm deep voice that made it have a bit of provocative hint to it.

"Hehe! His brother you say!"

"....."

"Alright! Jon Dare, I'll kill your brother! Then I'll come for your head after him!"

Mord rushed with his axe at Wulfur who was standing still unfazed!

A right swing up down, Wulfur avoid.

A horizontal left right, Wulfur avoid.

Body charge, Wulfur raised the saber and stabbed.

Mord used his charge and jumped with downward power slash, Wulfur charged in high speed at Mord who was jumping mid-air and slashed at his leg.

First cut!

It was not shallow! Wulfur only cut the flesh without using much force.

Mord landed while being staggered.

Wulfur took the chance and attacked, Mord deflected it with the back of his axe and tried to counterattack.

Wulfur who was about to get his attack blocked, shook his hand and the blade changed its trajectory.

Second cut!

Another flesh cut to the arm! No effort was put in.

They clashed again and each time, Wulfur only would deal a simple cut.

Third, Fourth, Fifth... twentieth... I lost the track of how many cuts by now.

Mord was making a face full of agony. He was being cut alive yet he barely bled. Wulfur avoided all the vitals and the blood vessels so far.

Seems like insulting Bjorna is an unforgivable sin that its punishment is the death with a hundred cuts in the codex of Wulfur!

At this point, it turned from a fight to a torture. Wulfur was toying around with Mord left and right.

Flesh was being chopped and blood dyed the snow everywhere.

Where did he learn that bad habit from?

This has reminded me of the Chinese 'Lingchi'. A way of execution that meant the 'death by a thousand cut'. Still, the way Wulfur did it was in combat and not really reached a thousand cut.

This guy... He is angry!

Anyway, after venting his anger, Wulfur slashed the sword with vigor chopping off Mord's arm that carried the axe.

"GAAAH!!!"

"Mord!"

"Shoot now!"

Three arrows were shot from three Bloodsail archers and targeted Wulfur with high speed.

Wulfur's reaction was fast, he pulled Mord and used him as a shield, still, that would only block one arrow.

I evoked 'Grab' on both hands and stopped the two swords midair. The third hit Mord's back.

"NO!"

"Despicable!"

The Bloodsails shouted in hate. The amount of hypocrisy in the Bloodsails is terrifying, maybe it's their Bloodline Ability.

That was not the time to make funny ideas anyway, someone retaliated at the three arrows just now and that was Jull. She used here lever-action crossbow and shot three bolts in one second.

Three bolts, three hits!

The three archers including the girl that shot at Alina fell down dead. The bolts were perfectly in the center of there foreheads.

"Daaamn!" I was taken aback!

"I guess this is where it ends!" Wulfur said to the dying Mord then used the Saber to cut his head.

A dreadful silence came from the Bloodsail side. It seems that the scene already was too shocking for them to accept.

Wulfur was standing on the front alone so I walked up and stood beside him, he pa.s.sed the sword back to me.

I sheathed the sword silently and took out my hammer, Wulfur also took out his hammer, Jull reloaded one more bolt and walked beside me, Alina followed her.

Fufu! I guess I can call that #Squad_Goals. I am also grateful to you guys to make me stand in the center like that!

"Well then! Gentlemen... and ladies! We have come here to chew bubblegum and kick a.s.s, and there is a lot of bubblegum in front of me. I say we..."

"ATTAAAAACK!"

Okay! My cool line got interrupted by Vilkar! We'll have to talk about this later.

It's murder time now!
