“He couldn’t have gone far, after him!”

“Damn it, where did he go?!”

“Keep searching!”

What a chase, Daniel almost got caught back there if it weren’t for the obstacle he made from swords. He couldn’t afford himself to be apprehended, not now. Magnolia was no longer a safe place for him now that the Rune Knights were fully aware of his presence in this town. Just who made his presence known here? Thinking back, he couldn’t help but it was most likely that tyrant he had met a few days ago who issued the order to Rune Knights to go arrest him just to give him a hard time. Knowing her, she was just the person to that; honestly, she was a noble, after all, what couldn’t she do with that amount of political power to play in her hands? Gritting his teeth, Daniel jumped from roof to another and hoped to go unnoticed by the Rune Knights barking out orders left and right at the ground beneath him. It wasn’t long before one of them found him, however and clearly he wasn’t willing to let him pass quietly.

“Ah, I found him! You there, stop!”

“Tch, this is turning out to be an annoying night!” Daniel drew his sword and slammed the back of his blade against the chest of the man to knock him out – if not, immobilize him long enough to make his escape. Fortunately, the Rune Knight seemed rather tough enough to endure the blow and only fall over from the blow. Daniel then jumped down back to the streets and started making his getaway once again, only to be spotted by more Rune Knights around the corner. Damn, they must’ve had the entire place covered; otherwise he wouldn’t be having this much of a hard time avoiding them. At this point, it seemed like trying exiting the town was out of the question. There was no way out of it; he had to fight his way through, but against these many even Daniel would find himself having a difficult time dealing with them, especially with the wounds all over his body.

“You are surrounded, Blade Daemon. Come quietly, and we’ll make sure you’re treated fairly.”

The swordsman took a stance, and raised his blade over towards the Rune Knights. His vision was wavering, his breath ragged from all the running and he lost far too much blood to be able to fight properly anymore. “If this is an end for me, then I will at least die like a warrior rather than being taken by you all like a dog! Very well, I will be your opponent!”

darkest light? Sooo, what was that ruckus about? Having heard a commotion, something loud, she had just decided to put her attention there, following that hapless guard bound towards the source of it all. It must have been some kind of rookie, stumbling every now and then, looking for what direction to take a few times on the way. Either that, or he was subconsciously not really wanting to go towards whatever he was going for there. That made following him easy, and well possible without breaking a sweat or into a run. Although it was no longer necessary eventually given the other guards they eventually met up with, obviously chasing someone else. That subject, whoever it was, had apparently already been encircled before they arrived, meaning the real juicy parts of the chase were already over. Bummer, but at least this seemed to possibly be rather entertaining, because where a story would usually end and cut to a prison, this guy was apparently going to pick a fight. Even talking all big and mighty. For some reason, he apparently had a nickname, too. Blade Demon, brother of Terror Hammer and Spear of darkness, she presumed. And Daggerwraith, of course. Pathetic choice, if he had picked it. Pitiful occurrence, if the guards had. She scoffed at that notion, and got as close as she could without somewhat harassing any guardsmen, trying to see just who this was about. Only to find an obviously wounded man. What an unfair fight, wasn't it? Then again, everyone causing these guys to not act all high and mighty was at least something. For now, though, Rei just waited, curious as to what would happen next.

"Approach him carefully, he's not your average lunatic rogue mage as we know. Remember your training men."

Daniel could feel his consciousness slowly fading away with each passing second. It took all his strength just to keep his eyes open and hold his sword; after all, he had fought his fair share of his own battles tonight. The guardsmen seemed to take notice of their target’s waning strength and started to approach the armed male with grave caution. Still, no matter how weak the swordsman felt, he couldn’t afford himself to get caught here, not until he found Zeref. Once again, he brought up his sword once more to guard himself against incoming blows, and as he did so, their commanding officer ordered his man to cease him. Quick on his feet, Daniel was parry one of the men’s weapons and moved in with a strike using the pommel of his sword to knock him out, and then he moved from an opponent after opponent, effortlessly striking them down by using the blunt side of his sword. None of them were lethal, but most of them could expect a god awful headache when they wake up in the next morning.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t all of it. He only struck down only a dozen men and the wounds that he had received on his body from the earlier skirmishes had already expended to a point that it could be lethal if he didn’t get this treated right away. Only thing he could do was simply counter the incoming blows, but by now, he had grown far too weak to fight back anymore for he already used up the remaining strength that he had in his body to knock a few more out. The guardsmen made their approached on Daniel who was kneeling on the ground, gasping for air as blood poured out of the exposed wounds. With a firm grasp on his sword, he made an attempt to stand back up, only to fall on his back by a simple kick from their commanding officer.

“Eh, is this all you have? Here you were barking how you were going to take me and my men on. Don’t make me laugh; you can’t fight at this state. A cornered animal like you should know when to submit by now.” The man laughed, “Boys, take him in. We’re gonna get some pay out of this one.”

darkest light? Not an average lunatic. But still a lunatic? Pretty sure he was one, obviously, for picking a fight like that, in retrospect. Everyone strong enough to possibly get out of such a situation ahead would also be capable to just escape it. Due to that, Rei always had little patience with people like that, but for now, she just watched the actual fighting to begin. It was certainly a fight that she had not expected. Less that mister scary mc nickname was holding his own there, knocking down some people, because conversation of ninjutsu demanded such an outcome. No, it was both the fact that all this was happening pretty much bloodless, while there was also a distinct lack of magic being used. One would think the guard would have the presence of mind to bring someone at least slightly capable there. Rei sighed. She had really hoped to see an actual fight, not the guard throwing bodies at a wounded foe until he finally succumbed to those. It sure looked like that, after all. For all she could see, he was not hit, but his state was gradually getting worse. Not that it was her problem, though. Crossing her arms, she just watched as he lost that fight pretty pathetically. There was something interesting though, not from mister not so cool, but rather the captain, exclaiming it loudly. Something she did not really get right the first time. “Pay? Who in their right mind would pay for some pathetic scoundrel?”, she jested, loud enough to be heard.
