Kick can only lift an already sore leg. Bam! Bam! The novice of the Eastern Temple of Fire simply beat on defense, but the enemy could not stand against such an onslaught - even a little bit more and the leg would have been broken. What happened could be called just a brutal beating. The young man only by brute force crushed the enemy.

- Argh! - A friend of a kickboxer who fell to the ground flew at Cain from the side. He simply pushed the young man into the hands of another, who caught the tilted guy, clasped his back in front and did not allow him to move.

“Set your spear on him!” - He turned to the pushed, who really had a spear. Cain was not in an advantageous position - he stood back to the spearman.

- Spread the legs, baby! - the bully who was holding the young man was mocked.

“As you say,” with these words, the novice, once again demonstrating his stretch, managed to lift one leg and give his abuser to the forehead, because of which he weakened his grip. Cain deftly freed himself and embraced the mercenary himself. With the same foot, with which he hit him, the young man knocked the man on the ankle, spreading his legs wider, and then with incredible force he kicked his knee in the balls.

“Aw, this must have hurt a lot. Perhaps the guy broke his pelvic bone. ” Bam! Bam! Again blows to the groin from the knee. The mercenary no longer held Cain, but hung on his arms, which the novice was not about to unclench. Bam! A blow to the sacrum - there was an unpleasant crunch. Bam! The jaw is crushed by a knee and a subsequent flip. Came to the time spearman, set aside with a slight movement of the hand on the staff. Hryatsya! The spear is broken. Boom! A blow with an open hand from a close distance directly into the sternum - the enemy flies off a meter to the side and falls to the ground - the breath is shot down.

Now, Cain was surrounded, it seems, by all the remaining members of the gang, with the exception of holding the girl - they got the weapon, and the young man had only fragments of a spear.

- May be enough? - it was not a request for mercy. These words sounded as if he was already tired and the continuation did not make sense. At least his eyes spoke about it.

Naturally, no one listened to him. The fight began ... Buh! Fell alone ... Bam! The second one was defeated ... Cain easily reflected all attacks, he covered himself with a robe, like a shield, no one could get into him, because they could not see where his body really was, and he constantly did some acrobatic tumbling like a snake. And all this was accompanied by an incredible skill in fencing. “Yes, where it is so taught him. So you do not practice combat magic wizards from the Eastern Temple of Fire! I have never seen a man who copes with so many opponents so easily. This is not just the result of training. The guy is just a genius. He predicts the actions of opponents. This is evident from the expression of his face, and he beats them so easily, as if for him it is a game of chess. Until now, no one died, not because they were lucky, but because he does not see the need for their death.The guy simply methodically and without a drop of pity crushes opponents, disables them, breaks like toys. A terrible sight. And this is the same puppy, which I thought was pathetic ... "

Bah! The last enemy fell to the ground, and Cain did not even sweat. Even the facial expression did not change. He only bowed his head like a wolf and stated:

“I was expecting ... something more from the mercenaries,” then, as if nothing had happened, he threw the pieces of the spear with which he had beaten everyone, and went to the man who was still holding the girl.

Babah! Cain seemed not to be there, and a hole suddenly appeared in a nearby wooden house.

- Ha! Here are assholes, lose one boy! - A man came out of the crowd holding a magic wand in his hands, which just with a spell sent the young man into flight. - Hey, come on! Here, damn, the same to me - the power is there, no mind. Only fight and know how, but it turns out that you can not. Ugh on you! - with these words, he went to his friends, scattered across the square and began kicking trying to bring them to their senses.

- Grrrrr ... - from the hole I heard a low, uterine roar of the beast. Two bright eyes flashed in the darkness and a wolf covered with a black hair wolf, standing only on two legs, emerged on the moonlight. It was Cain in half-form.

- What? ... So you're a werewolf ... Well, that explains a lot. And, in other matters, it doesn’t matter, you don’t know how to conjure anyway, which means I will fry you alive.

And then the magical battle began. The sorcerer threw fireballs into the "werewolf", sheaves of sparks, lightning, and he with incredible skill and dexterity dodged and shortened the distance. But, as soon as Cain was too close, the magician immediately teleported to the other end of the square.

“Well, that's enough,” with these words, the wizard pronounced a spell on the spot where the young man had just stood in a sky of flame. - Played and will be.

- The magician, as if nothing had happened, moved toward his buddies, and Leila felt that the ground was leaving her under her feet. "How? So simple? And it's all? He died ... And I did not even try to help him. And what could I do? But still ... just like that - once and for all ... He is no more ... "

Clap, clap, clap ... The applause from the fire column broke the gloomy silence. The sorcerer abruptly turned around and opened his mouth from what he saw. In the middle of the square stood a guy in a robe and calmly clapping.

“Not bad ... for a third-rate mage,” having finished his applause, the young man moved to meet the sorcerer. His whole body was now glowing - his skin was covered with some kind of tattoos that Leila had never seen before. She knew that fire magicians do not use magic wands, but put tattoos on their hands that are not visible until they use magic. But Cain glowed all over, even under the robe there was a glow. The runes covered him from head to foot. Shimmering magical seals spun in his palms.

- Who are you? - another fireball formed at the tip of the sorcerer's wand, but then the novice glowed brighter and the ball went out. Like everything around. The whole city was shrouded in darkness, broken only by the light of the moon, the stars and Cain.

- I am the flame! And all the fire around is under my control. Attacking a fire mage with such spells is like pouring oil on a fire. I declare you a check!

- Yes, I love you! ..

Bam! Wham! Babah! The spells flew one after another, and the young man steadily went forward, chasing them away like flies. He substituted his hands and the spell bounced off them like a ball. Some remained in the hand and went out there. Then the glow from the palms seemed to spread over the novice - he simply absorbed them. “He does not know how to conjure, of course! Looks like Shana was wrong about him. Even to me it is clear that he is an incredibly powerful wizard. ”

The warlock teleported again and fired a lightning bolt right into the young man’s back. The spell passed through and Cain began to blur.

- What the ...? - Bach! Another hole appeared in the wall of the house, but this time left by the sorcerer. And in the place where his body had just been, a hand began to appear from the air, the seals on which gradually ceased to glow and spin. As if Cain arose from the air.“He left the illusion, and he turned out to be right in front of the teleporting magician - did he really guess his actions? Good Insanely good! ”

- Mat, you lost, - a statement of fact, no emotion, except boredom.

The novice "went out" and the fire burned in the city again. The last mercenary disappeared without a trace, and the girl sat and cried in the arms of her father. Everything ended successfully.

- Mrs. Leila? - from the metallic notes in the voice there was no trace. The young man, as if in the blink of an eye, was replaced and he again turned into a puppy, which he always seems to be and will be when it comes to communicating with a woman. - What are you doing here?

- Do you know him?

- Yes, girls, meet - this is Cain.

The five of us returned to the hotel, Leyla’s friends showed a clear interest in the young man, who again became a shy boy. Sonya, he got on the way to the room, ... Read more →
