Elemental Gen - Z

Chapter 92's

[Darkness Invasion Arc - #3]

...----------------...

"PARK HANA! MOVE OVER!" Hanny shouted loudly as the Darkness Swordman was scrambling to finish off Araya.

Quickly, Araya stood up again and put up the horses. "Sunny, aren't you still recovering? Let me face it." said Araya through a communication tool. It has just changed to armor mode.

"But, I can't let you fight him alone .. We beat him together!"

"Umm, okay."

"Oh, two on one huh? Okay, I take it." Darkness Swordman said casually. Then, he stayed in place without doing anything.

Araya and Hanny looked at him cautiously.

Why not attack, he thought.

"Why are you two quiet? Come on, I'm giving you guys a chance. Don't waste it." the creature stomped softly on the ground he was peeling on with his right leg.

Attacking first? For sure he wants to know how strong we are both, then look for our weaknesses, Araya said in his heart. His gaze was not distracted from the creature that stood right between him and Hanny.

"If in ten seconds you don't attack, then your chance is lost. Count from now." Darkness Swordman. His words just now made Araya worried. Should he attack now, or later?

"Ten!"

If he were to attack now, then the Darkness Swordman could instantly analyze the type of attack he had.

"Nine!"

If his attack ability could be analyzed, surely his weaknesses could be known as well.

"Eight!"

"Park Hana, are we going to attack now?" hanny's question just made Araya aware of the daydream. Not daydreaming, thinking more precisely.

"Eh? Ehm, fine! We're attacking now!" Araya decided after considering the possibilities and also the risks that they will get. "Shiroi, third stage armor!"

"Good!"

Instead, I should not directly show all my abilities, Araya thought again to consider.

"Well, so. If there's a chance, don't waste it, yeah." the thing started putting up the horses.

Araya did not answer. He thought he had to start attacking from where first, so that their chances of victory were greater.

Ah yes! I forgot that my energy hasn't been replenished. Stupid me! Araya cursed his carelessness. Supposedly, he didn't just leave. His energy was reduced a lot after teleporting for thousands of kilometers.

"Shiroi, what should I do? I don't know what to do .. I'm careless. I should've recharged the energy before I got here." Araya can't do much. If he suddenly left that place, he would be called a coward. However, it would be very difficult for him to face a level three Darkness Swordman with a little exertion.

"Cock quiet? His brain is slow, isn't it?" The Darkness Swordman said, of course, only to provoke Araya to attack him quickly.

"No soft. I'm just a little sleepy." replied Araya honestly. It had been more than thirty hours that he had not slept due to carrying out the mission. Of course you guys know what it's like.

"Cursed? Gosh, that's good. Alright. I'll get you to sleep. Sleep for ever!"

The Darkness Swordman is called Zeta. He could not bear to attack when he felt the carelessness of Araya. A aura of darkness poured out from the ground that he had just stepped on.

Not knowing what else he was thinking, instead of dodging, Araya instead kept quiet because her body was too tired to move back quickly.

While Hanny, he had jumped up on a tree branch that was not far from there. Then, he immediately picked up Araya with his teleportation, so that his partner could be directly there as well.

"It's okay. I just-"

"Araya, that name is easier to say than your pseudonym. You wait here to recover the energy, let me go down." Hanny said in a serious tone. This is the first time Araya has ever known that Hanny can be so serious.

"But .. wait!" he had not finished his sentence, Hanny had already jumped down from the tree.

"Argh! What should I do?!" Araya shook her head while holding her head with both hands. His feelings were filled with anxiety. If he goes down, then he will definitely add to Hanny's burden of protecting her as well when Araya is off guard.

...----------------...

"Huh ... Where's the kid?" circulating his gaze around filled with dust and smoke, Captain Akira had been looking for Araya's whereabouts since then. Even the signal is unknown. Captain Akira was willing to return to using armor that he had not used for a long time.

"Did you find him?" The captain asked using a communication device. Trying to contact other members if there is any news about the person being sought.

"No, I didn't find it." replied Henry who was currently in a location far from his location.

"Nothing either. I don't see any tertiary members around here either." Steve. Right now, Steve was in a place that seemed to have run out of a great explosion. Thick smoke and dust blocked visibility. The ground surface is also disheveled and blackish in color.

Captain Akira could only sigh. Of course he was worried about his junior. Araya has no experience with this.

"Hyun-Jae, how are things near the dimensional gate?" this time, he asks Hyun-Jae who is now serving near the location of the cross-dimensional gate—the barrier between the human dimension and the Darkness dimension.

"Dimension gates are widening. My guess is, the gate will be fully open in fifteen minutes."

Fifteen minutes? Araya has gone in there. If the signal is untraceable, it is likely that he is already there, Captain Akira thought. He was completely inexhaustible with Araya acting rashly and leaving without preparing a plan.

After this battle was over, it was like he was going all out to lecture Araya so that he would no longer repeat the same mistake. But, it seems like it's hard to do.

Given that the new battle started four hours ago, and will last up to tens of hours. After all, not necessarily they will all return to headquarters safely.

"Captain, I found Araya!" a brief voicemail from Dae-Vin for a moment can dispel Captain Akira's anxious feelings. Although it was uncertain, he felt a little relieved.

"really? Where is he, Dae-Vin? Is he alone? Is she okay?" ask the Captain in succession.

Across the street, Dae-Vin takes a breath and prepares to explain. "I managed to detect the signal. It's about a hundred meters from where I am now. He's with Hanny. I'll be there soon."

"Wait, no!"

Dae-Vin instantly stops his steps after the Captain suddenly prevents him.

"You don't have to go there. Let me go there. You go north and help your friends prevent Darkness Swordman from entering the settlement area."

"All right, Captain!"

...----------------...

Hyun-Jae is still standing by with the binoculars he uses to see distant objects. More precisely, he used it to see the development of the dimensional gate that was widening.

"Huh ... when will this crisis end? When can we live in peace?" he said softly without taking his eyes off the object he had observed earlier.

A moment later, at a glance he saw a black-colored shadow moving very quickly within the Darkness dimension.

What was that? I have a bad feeling, Lee Hyun-Jae said inwardly. He dropped his binoculars. Try to think positively and pray that nothing worse happens.
