Chapter 19: Blind fury
The captain was a burly, old, avian male with dark brown feathers, the face of a hawk and a golden armor, wielding a golden sword in his right and a shield in his left hand, similarly to the statues of Karira.
A weirdly divine feeling came from the golden sword but Cades didn't care, he didn't even think as he began fighting with the paladin captain.
He sprinted towards the captain and used the momentum to punch him a few dozen feet away, with the captain rolling over a few times but still retaining his balance after some time.
The captain held up his shield and put it into the ground in retaliation, he wanted to stop the unknown enemy but he didn't have time to think about the fact that that enemy had wings.
Cades used said wings, flew up and descended once more, the shield of the captain was difficult to move so he wasn't fast enough.
Realizing this, the captain left his shield behind and franticly grabbed his sword to fight against the monster that was attacking them.
The sword was barely able to block Cades frantic attacks as the shockwaves from the colliding mana were sent out from the source of the collision and threw the other paladins that the captain had been trying to protect over their feet.
Being only a beginner tenth sequence the captain would never be able to defeat Cades, but he tried to at least distract him for long enough so that others could save themselves.
Cades also, even in the state that he was in, didn't want to hurt innocent people so he followed the old man as he flew up towards the sky in the desperate attempt to distract Cades from the other, weaker people on the ground.
There, in the sky, they now battled, one with their full sanity, and the other one blinded by rage and barely thinking.
The stress and anger from all this time had been built up and now it was finally exuding its toll.
