The mystical ring of tilemetafora.

INSURRECTION V

With a smirk, Cazi shouted;

"finish him"

Darca was surprised that he asked;

"wait, what do you mean?, I thought we had a deal?"

Cazi chuckled and replied him;

"that deal expired"

Darca looked around but can't find Arga anywhere around him, the Minotaur chuckled again and showed him his wand;

"looking for this?"

He hit Darca with the hammer throwing him away. All the beast charged at Darca while he drew backwards, the first cyclops tried to stab Darca, he avoided the sword and punched the cyclops on the throat, another tried to hit him with an axe, he grabbed the axe and ducked; he spun immediately plunging the axe into the cyclops waist. another one made to stab him but he rolled backwards which caused the cyclops to stab the ground. he rolled towards the cyclops and attacked him with uppercut. he grabbed his sword and chopped two cyclops heads off at once, he saw a minotaur and a cyclops heading towards him, he charged back at them; on getting close, he slide down with his knees and cut the minotaur from under, he plunged the sword on the ground and used it to push him self up. while still on air, he spun thrice and slashed the head of the cyclops.

The trolls opened fire on him while he grabbed a cyclops and used him as shield while all the arrows plunged into the cyclops. He saw two more cyclops coming, he ducked and chopped one of them off his legs, before the cyclops could hit the ground, he chopped off his head. the other cyclops stabbed him with a sword at the back, he screamed and slashed his sword backwards killing the cyclops. Another cyclops jumped on him while a minotaur jumped in his front, he stabbed the miniature but the miniature grabbed the sword refusing to let Darca have it. a cyclops then stabbed Darca on the belly which caused him to let go of his sword. He punched the Cyclops hanging on his back in the eye; the other cyclops tried to stab him again but he turned his back while the cyclops stabbed his teammate instead. Darca picked up a hammer and smashed the cyclops head.

The trolls fired countless arrows, Darca picked up a sword from the floor and activated his elf's power. he jumped in the air and started running on the fired arrows till he got to where the trolls where; because they trolls were armed only with scorpion arrow shooter; they have no weapon handy to defend themselves. Darca used his elf's speed to kill the twenty trolls. he looked down and saw the beast climbing the mountain, he used to scorpion ballista and fired series of shots until the beast were only six.

Darca jumped out of his barricade jumping on one of the beast, using it as skate board; he slide off the mountain killing three beast. One of those three beast plunged a short spear on Darca's abdomen. When Darca reached the ground, he pulled out the spear and pinned it to the head of the beast he was riding on. He turned towards the Minotaur's commander and threw his sword against him but the Cazi used him hammer to knocked it off.

Darca bleeding all through his bed said to the minotaur;

"even in my weakened state, I can still beat you"

Cazi hit his hammer on a rock and about twenty armed minotaurs started running down the mountains towards Darca.

Darca knew at that moment that if help doesn't come; he's doomed. With his last strength; he picked up his blade. At least, if he's gonna die there, he won't make it easy for them. Just as the Minotaurs reached the base of the mountain, they heard rumbling noise rolling down the mountains. They all looked up and saw about ten giants rocks rolling towards them.

Darca seized the opportunity to kill three Minotaurs, he used his elf's power to jumped high in sky, he started running on the rolling rocks till they all passed him. The rocks hit the base and crushed about six Minotaurs. Darca looked up and saw the three soldiers he came with but Agar wasn't in their midst, the soldiers took the mini ballista and opened fire on the Minotaurs. They killed three Minotaurs making the total number of dead Minotaurs twelve. they now charged against the eight living Minotaurs.

The beast commander saw what happened and tried to throw his hammer against Darca's army but Agar chopped off his hand from the back, he turned and Agar pushed kicked him while he fell off the mountain. Meanwhile, Darca's army and the Minotaur army were in serious clash. The Minotaur turned towards Agar and said in beast language;

"you? why are you doing this?"

Agar replied him in the same beast language;

"Well; well; well; Cazi, let's say; I switched sides".

The Minotaur asked him his reasons for such action and he replied;

"during the reign of Augustus, both the cyclops and the minotaur get special treatment while the trolls, we were treated as slaves. But now, even though Darca treated us badly, he also treated it equal. I don't wanna go back to being your slave."

He picked up Cazi's hammer and smashed it right into his face. he grabbed Darca's wand and threw it to Darca. Darca caught the wand and raised it up while thunder struck the Minotaur's army.

Darca and his men gathered together, they heard a roaring noise, when they looked up; the saw about a thousand soldiers charging towards them. Darca's Men tried to hold them off but Darca asked them to retreat. he created an energy shield around him and his armies. He then drew a circle on the floor and asked his men to jump into it, They did as they were asked; He now raised the wand up and a whirlwind carried them away.

The Minotaurs armies reached the mountain base but Darca was no longer there. The trickster cyclops Zuma; ran to the minotaur and raised him up. Cazi turned towards his men and said;

"prepare yourselves; we're going on a war"

Zuma tried to stop him saying that they already loss too many men. he suggested they move round the ring to Cannanland.

Cazi roared and yelled at him;

"coward! I have no time for losers. we finish what we started"

The cyclops suggested that they wait for some days when Darca would be talking his replenishing sleep and strike that time; killing Darca in his sleep but Cazi ignored him. He tied his right hand which was cut off with clothes to stop it from bleeding, he then picked his axe with the left hand and ordered his men into battle.
