I regressed and became the Sword Ice King

"There be our wolf!"

One of the seven men cried out in excitement as they screamed out in joyful symphony, their voices piercing through the Dark skies. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

They had quickly closed the distance between them and were now circling the duo, their gazes fixed on Elsie.

"Werewolf? Yes, but she certainly doesn't belong to you" Raph's voice was a chill whisper as the air turned cold to his command.

He stretched out his hand and pulled out his sword from a gust of cold wind, his gaze lingering on the bounty hunters who cheered themselves up with loud cries.

"Give us our werewolf and we let ya live, boy, don't make things hard for ya"

One of them said with a loud voice as he pulled his rifle into the air and shot out some bullets as a warning.

Raph chuckled at the attempt, his hands firmly clasped on Elsie.

"We're going to retreat to the free zone on my command". He whispered while Elsie nodded in response.

"Deaf are ya?" Another spoke out with a shotgun and a loud series of laughter pierced the skies like a.

"Well, you guys laugh a lot".

Raph muttered as his aura swirled within him. "I'm not giving Elsie to you, unless of course, you take her from my dead body".

"Ya choose" the leader of the group muttered as he pulled his pistol and shot a bullet at Raph within a second.

The others cheered, pulling out their guns and shooting out a bullet at the same time.

'I've had enough of this…bullets'. Rapj thought, his gaze following the line of movement of the bullets as if they were moving in slow motion.

"Everything is Ice". He muttered to himself as the sand rumbled to his decree.

"Glacier Spire".

BOOM!

An eruption of tall ice shards and snow mountains broke the formation of the seven men with an explosion of power.

The man in disarray, fell from their mounts onto the floor as snow and ice fell from the sky like rain.

The ice shards were like a crystal of art, showcasing a deadly warning to all those who laid their eyes on it, but sadly for Raph, these men were blind to warnings.

"Over there!"

The smallest of the group quickly stood up in a hurry, his large machine gun aimed for the skies as he released a load of bullets at the two figures that descended from it like two meteors.

"They're escaping"

"Not on my watch, brather!"

In a fell swoop, their leader climbed onto his raptor-like mount and rushed after Raph and Elsie, who were over a kilometre away from them.

"Get ready and follow me, y'all Cherry poopers!"

"Who ya callin' a pooper?!"

The one with the shotgun screamed out as he jumped over his rhinoceros-like-mount, while the others did the same.

Soon, they rushed after the duo, their feet stomping the ground like an earthquake.

A few seconds passed as they left and the men from the Rugged Coin Tavern came out from their building, their expressions in utter shock.

"We need to get the boss"

One said with utmost haste in his voice as he glanced at the tall ice spires.

"No shit. There are some monsters in this town".

Another said before rushing off in the opposite direction. The rugged coin leader had not been available for a while now, but things were becoming hectic. Scary even.

"Do you think they'll survive the bounty hunters?" Plum asked with worry etched in his tone.

The man in front of the group turned towards him, clicked his tongue and turned towards the direction the bounty hunters had rushed off to.

"Not a way in hell".

****

"Are you good, Elsie?"

Raph had completely picked up Elsie now, as they descended from the skies towards the free zone.

He had only one goal on his mind at that moment as each fleeting second passed.

"I'm alright, but what about you? You shouldn't showcase too much of your abilities" she muttered as she wrapped her arms around his shoulder while Raph carried her in a bridal style.

"Don't worry. They aren't even worth it".

He looked away from her gaze to the roof of a building he was about to land on, and with a thrust of his aura downwards, he was able to somersault in mid-air and land on the roof without causing too much damage. He looked around and quickly found their pushers some meters away, closing the distance quickly.

"This fools". Raph muttered before charging towards them and jumping off the building.

"Do you think I'm running away from you?" He asked as he landed in front of the leader with a large thud, causing an explosion of power and sand that shook the ground as it rose into the air.

The mount lost its motion again and tripped falling to the ground, but this time, the leader simply jumped off and landed away from the explosion.

"Well, How be, this gotta be the difficultest one yet".

"It's not difficultest but most difficult, Brother!"

The one with the machine gun cried out as he aimed his weapon at the two figures that emerged from the eruption of sand into the air, but it was futile.

Raph charged at him like a missile, appearing next to him, behind the rubble of a fallen building before he could even press the trigger.

The skinny man looked up in fright and attempted to change the direction of his weapon, but Raph stumped his foot into the machine, breaking it into bolts and pieces.

"Awww!!" The man screamed in shock before a sounding kick across his chin sent him into the air.

The man fell unconscious nearly instantly, falling to the ground with a loud thud.

"Brother Bick!"

The one with the shotgun screamed out in shock as he aimed and fired his weapon at Raph but his body whisked away from sight like a blur, appearing next to the Man in a single flash.

Raph floated in mid-air in front of the man on his large mount, his arms wrapped tightly around Elsie.

'Shit!' The man thought, attempting to change the direction of his shotgun when Raph slammed his forehead against his.

The man with the shotgun cried out in pain as his head went limp, and his body fell off the mount. The rhinoceros-like-mount simply growled and continued charging forward, leaving its owner to Raph's wrath.

Raph spun his double-edged katana in the air, a blue whisk following its wake as he did so, before stabbing it into the man's chest, ending his life for good.

"Brother Jick!"

The other four had finally arrived, witnessing the death of one of their brothers. Something that had occurred so quickly and so easily that the shock had nearly overtaken them entirely.

"Shoot him you bastards!" their leader cried out as he rushed after Raph, struggling to keep up with his speed.

"Don't worry. You all will meet him soon".

Like the wind, his body whisked away, appearing in the air in front of another.

The one held a bazooka, but his gaze had not even caught up to Raph as he floated in the air right in front of him.

Raph spun in the air like a wheeler, thrusting his sword into the man's forehead like a hot knife through butter before landing atop the feline mount with his feet and kicking off the dead body.

"Shit?!" The leader screamed out in rage, as he whistled loudly. It was quickly followed by a loud thud as his mount jumped out of the pile of sand that had covered it and rushed off to his aid.

"Get away from him!"

The other three though, had other plans. With fierce expressions written on their faces, they circled the feline mount that Raph rode atop, their gazes blinded with crimson rage.

Two held rifles, and they were quick to use them. Firing their weapons rapidly at the boy they thought they cornered.

Sadly for them, the figure whisked away again, his speed too cunning for the eyes.

Their bullets pierced through the feline mount like paper, its body splitting into tiny pieces as its cries echoed in the air.

The next moment, one of the rifle users groaned in pain as a blue blade was stabbed from his back to his chest, piercing through his heart.

The sound of blood spurting out of his body rang in the cold air as the sword was sent across his body like scissors, slicing him into pieces like a freshly made pie.

The anger of the other two had quickly turned to panic as the piercing stare from two eyes the colour of the moon landed on them. Blood had stained his ice-cold face, and his blue sword glowed in the dark as warm blood dripped from it.

The panic spread like wildfire as they turned their mounts around to escape from the grasp of their brother's killers.

"Why would I let you escape?" Raph muttered as he was about to jump off the mount. The leader on his raptor, quickly stood before him, stopping him from going after the two.

"This bastard," Raph muttered with an annoyed click of the tongue.

"Aura Force". His blue aura spread out like a gust of shadow against the weakening light, engulfing everything that stood in his way.

"Oh no ya don't!".

The man screamed out as he pulled out a round object from his coat, and removed the safety pin.

"Ya worse than a beast!".

He threw the round object on the ground, and a bright, piercing light exploded into the night, like casting day onto a black canvas.

BOOM!
