My Angel system

Hybrid beasts were one of the beasts that used to be a serious pain in the neck for humans, humans hardly escaped encounters with these beasts then but one day all those hybrid beasts that used to disturb them disappeared and now Jude had an idea of where they had disappeared to.

What he was facing now was a double hybrid beast with a buffalo body and buffalo legs and then the feature that made it a hybrid, the head of a lion which was growling at him now.

A lion's head on the body of a buffalo sounded ridiculous but this was a deadly combination when it came to hybrids, the rampaging legs of the buffalo, and then the sharp teeth of the lion for tearing apart their prey.

'I thought these things were all wiped out.' Jude thought.

The beast had its prey in sight and came charging at him now, Jude knew that buffaloes had no real traction while running like the cats did and waited for the buffalo to get close before he rolled out of the way.

"Awww." He winced, touching his hurt arm.

The buffalo-lion beast continued running but managed to pull the breaks on its legs just before it crashed into the walls of the arena.

"Hey, don't you think I should get a weapon for this?!" Jude screamed looking up to the final stands where the king was standing alone with his staff in his hand.

"Very well." He said and tapped his staff on the floor.

Jude was relieved to see his long sword appear before him, at least now he could do something.

The chanting among the elves increased as the beast once again came charging toward Jude. This time he held his sword horizontally.

Immediately the beast was about to pummel him he easily escaped by sliding under the beast and while he was exiting from the beast's under he delivered a strike on its tail taking it off in the process.

Meanwhile, Tauriel and her brother were among the people in the stands watching the show and while the other elves found it fun to watch the twin elves didn't think it was right but what could they do?

"I told you we should have left him there, maybe he would have had a better chance of surviving," Tauriel told her body.

"I doubt it," Tuchel said, shaking his head. "He had already lost too much blood and besides I don't think a level one hybrid beast can kill him," Tuchel said, turning his attention back to the fight.

"Let's just hope he sets him free after this," Tauriel said.

The beast with its tail sliced off from its body now was enraged, Jude had made a mistake to stop right behind it, and that had given the beast the chance to give him a back kick which sent him flying and crashing on the walls of the arena.

"Ahhh." Jude groaned as he managed to get up.

On seeing Jude get up after that deadly kick the elf audience was divided into two opinions, those who were cheering for him and those who were cursing and wondering how he was able to survive that.

"But he's just human."

"Yeah, I thought humans were supposed to be fragile?"

"At it boy, tear that beast apart!" A young elf screamed from the stands as he stood up but he was soon met with cold stares that sent him crashing back into his seat.

"I think that broke my ribs," Jude said as he held onto his ribcage with his right hand while holding his sword in his left hand.

The beast seeing that his opponent was still alive let out a mighty roar and began charging toward an already broken Jude.

'I have to end this now or my situation might just get worse.' He thought.

"That's it this is surely the end of the road for him."

"He's not coming out of this one."

The elves were sharing their happy thoughts on how enjoyable it would be to see Jude die unaware that the young knight had something planned.

He threw his sword towards the beast who quickly shifted to avoid it as it kept running forward.

"That was a useless attack." The king said with a smirk.

The beast was getting closer and was ready to dig its teeth into Jude's flesh but before it could do that the young knight turned towards the arena walls.

He matched the wall with his right foot and did a flip over the beast, while he was still up he pulled his hand and his sword immediately flew into that particular hand.

With his sword in his hand while he was landing he aimed for the beast's head and it didn't take him much effort to cut off the head which was rolling on the floor now as the whole body fell to the floor. Jude collapsed on the floor inhaling and exhaling heavily.

"What was that?" The elves were stunned.

"I think that was some kind of magic."

So did a large number of the elves but some of the elves had seen what Jude did there, he hadn't used any magic because he was no wizard nor a mage.

A string was attached to his sword, that colorless piece of string had always been attached and wrapped around his sword and he hadn't found any use for it until today.

Before the crowd could recover from their shock the king's clapping began to resound in the arena.

"You have done well in defeating a mere level one hybrid beast." He said in mockery. "This is just stage one of your fight for freedom."

"Stage one!" Jude shouted.

Ignoring the anger coming from the human, the king continued what he was saying.

"I'll allow you rest today and tomorrow you'll have your stage two fight for freedom."

Before Jude could say anything the king struck his staff on the floor and he immediately found himself before him but his sword was gone.

Immediately Jude got there Tauriel could be seen climbing up the stairs that led up to the king's private stand.

"Take him back to his comfy room." The king said with a smirk.

"You told me I was going to fight for my freedom, you didn't tell me I was going to have stages of fights for my freedom." Jude pouted.

"Oh, really." The king chuckled. "Well, then I changed my mind." His voice immediately went from funny to menacing.

"And don't try to put up any form of resistance because that would spell your early grave." He added still with his menacing voice.

Jude didn't try anything to escape as Tauriel led him back to his cell, he knew best not to do anything like that until he had found the exit.

Jude was in his cell and Tauriel was about to close the doors when he said. "Wait."

He was glad that Tauriel didn't ignore her and slammed the door in his face. She kindly waited while holding the doors.

"I know you and your brother are not like the other elves."

"And how do you know that?" Tauriel asked.

"You both saved, many elves would have left me to die from shortage of blood there or worse allowed that goblin to kill me but you didn't."

Tauriel didn't make any comments or expressions at his words as Jude continued.

"I was only trying to find my lost sister that night if not for that things wouldn't have ended up like this for me, my sister is still out there maybe the goblins have her, please I really need to find her."

"I cannot help you," Tauriel said, slamming both doors shut and immediately turning to leave.

"Hey, listen to me," Jude said, hitting the metallic door. "She's my only sister, how would you feel if your brother went missing and you couldn't find him." His voice had faded away as he said this.

Tauriel stopped in her steps as she heard those words, although she had been pretending not to care about Jude's situation his words now had touched her more but she straightened herself and gave out a deep sigh before walking off as Jude kept tapping the metallic door.
