During the Dark Ages

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Alice vs Kirt(1)



"I managed to kill the woman but I was exhausted and my body was riddled with injuries and there were six more enemies to face. The six Greater imps were the ones maintaining the devil dome and when they arrived their bodies were nothing but skin and bones but there were still six of them and I couldn't win in a fight. As they were about to kill me Alice saved my life and you know the rest of the story from there." I said

"Did you guys actually find the base of the imps?" Synthia asked

"Well I did. I saw a huge cluster of demon auras close by before they found me." Alice said before I could answer. Synthia thought for a while before she sighed.

"You are not going to like this but you are going to need to go back and scout again." Synthia said

"What?!" I snapped and I'm pretty sure my eyes were glowing because I could see the others flinch a bit under my gaze. I could also feel Alice shifting beside me.

"Calm down and listen to me for a bit and hear me out." Synthia said and put her hand up defensively.

"I'm listening." I said while folding my arms.

"Well although you two brought in a lot of Intel on our opponents we still don't have any important information, no offense. We need to know their numbers and when they are going to attack." Synthia said and I knew she was right. We were lacking information and there was only one way to get it.

"I see your point, I'll leave tomorrow night. By the way, how's training the fighting force going?" I asked, obviously talking about the humans that were cultivating.

"It's going quite smoothly actually and they should all become priests by tomorrow and then we can start training them for real." Synthia said

"Is there a possible for any of them to become saints by the end of the week?" I asked

"Well possibly, but I'm not sure we will have that much time." She shrugged

"Hey, come to think of it I don't know how strong a saint is so why don't we have a little sparring session." I said

"Sure, why not but you better be ready to lose?" Claire said with a smirk

"Finally, I can put you in your place." Kirt said as lightning danced in his hands.

"Then why don't we go outside and see just how strong you lot has become." I said and as I got up off the sofa I felt someone tug on my shirt. I looked back and saw Alice staring at me with determination in her eyes.

"I'll do it." She said

"Huh."

"I'll fight all of you." She said and gazed at the four saints with glowing eyes.

"You sure about this?" I asked and she nodded and just as she did I heard a laugh from the side. Turning around I saw Kirt laughing and the veins on the side of my neck bulged.

"You are going to take all of us on. Get real, you couldn't even come out because of the sun how do you expect to beat all of us." Kirt said holding back laughter.

"You might be right, I may not be able to take on all of you at the same time...." Alice said much to my surprise and Kirk's satifaction.

"But you, that's a completely different story. I doubt that you would last more than five minutes." Alice said with a smile

"Was that a bet?" Kirt growled

"No, it was a promise." She replied and the veins on the side of Kirts neck and on his forehead bulged.

"Fine then, why don't we find out for sure." Kirt said and walked out of the door, outside. Alice happily jumped off the sofa but instead of going outside she went upstairs. A couple seconds later she ran downstairs with a longsword in her hand. She then quickly dashed outside where Kirt was standing with his spear in hand.
