THE BATTLE OF 1000 SPIRITS

CHAPTER 37: SWALLOWED IN DARKNESS

"Lunatic man!", said Myro gloomyly.

As an elite soldier from the Kingdom of Barga, Myro certainly knows many famous assassins also from the kingdom he used to be both assassins trained by nobles and kings. No matter where the assassins came from, they all definitely remained concerned about their lives as well. For that reason, in Myro's eyes Jirfa's words were like those of a madman.

Jirfa instantly turned cold, she looked at Myro with murderous eyes "I wouldn't mind how many times you ridicule me, compared to you mocking my father or whatever he says! Here, you are a crazy person, do you think by stabbing one of my 5 then you can win? That's a big mistake, the 5 Shadows that are my Core Attacks not only make my body become 5 but as long as there is still darkness around, then I can continue to recover myself endlessly! So I advise you to surrender, in this world there will always be darkness which means I am invincible".

Suddenly in the middle of a few moments of silence, Myro laughed loudly which made Jirfa confused "Why are you laughing? Are you going crazy when you're going to die?".

Myro who laughed loudly waved his hand "I laughed not because I was crazy but rather I felt a little funny, you said your victory was so confident. I do admit that you are strong, I have almost no chance of winning against you. But ever since you used that curse weapon, I had a great chance of winning".

"What do you mean?", asked Jirfa with a dark face, he did not understand what Myro said.

"You've honestly told me about your strength, so I'll tell you about myself as well" said Myro who formed an ice spear in his right hand "In addition to being a soldier, in addition to being a soldier, actually I'm also quite a famous blacksmith in Barga Kingdom, you know that rune spear I used before? All of it was my own making both his spear and the rune that was on it, well my goal was not to show off my blacksmithing ability to you but rather because I was a blacksmith capable enough that I knew the dagger in your hand was not just a curse weapon but rather a trap the owner made earlier for the next user-No, that dagger used to belong to your father didn't it? That means the dagger was originally made to trap you".

Jirfa was angry at Myro's words, he immediately mounted the horses to attack "I've told you, when you say something bad-".

"Wait a minute, don't get angry because I'm just telling the truth" Myro said staring intently at Jirfa's dagger "I'll ask you 1 thing, please, is your father trying to find an endless life or something like that? The trap in your dagger will be active when the dagger is destroyed, you will fall into darkness where the spirit trail of the previous dagger owner who was in the dagger will try to take your body. As long as your body is being usurped, I'm capable of killing-".

"I said shut up!", shouted Jirfa who rushed to arrive in front of Myro full of anger, he immediately slashed towards Myro's neck without hesitation.

"Dash!".

Myro took a step back so that the dagger slash did not kill him, but there was still a trace of a small slash on his neck that was not so fatal.

"Don't think it's over!", cried Jirfa who slashed Myro's hand in full force, trying to cut off Myro's right hand.

This time Jirfa used his full speed, not to mention the other 4 Jirfas around him as well to attack so that Myro could not dodge in time at all.

Jirfa was shocked because when his dagger slashed Myro's right hand covered with bandages, Myro's right hand was not cut at all like what he thought but his broken dagger.

Behind the cut bandage trail, there was a slight hole in the bandage so that Jirfa could see Myro's right hand slightly black as iron. Myro's own hands are not like human hands, but machine hands.

Before Jirfa came to her senses of surprise, Myro's right hand was wearing the head of Jirfa who had just slashed her "I forgot to tell you 1 more thing, the nickname of my black right hand was true! So now that you can leave, don't let your dagger bring me trouble!".

Myro throws Jirfa whose dagger is broken away.

The jirfa that was lodged into the air spun several times in the air before landing on the ground without any problems when it regained consciousness, after that he looked at the dagger in his hand full of worry because it was the dagger his father left behind and the thing he always protected.

"Wire, how could I make the dagger that father gave me broken? What am I supposed to do?", cried Jirfa frantically, she seemed to be crying.

"Don't worry, soon you won't need that dagger either because you'll lose your life after falling into the trap that was there from the previous owner" Myro said.

"I told you to shut up!", cried Jirfa full of anger, 4 Jirfa who was around Myro raised his dagger and planned to attack him again, but things suddenly changed.

The broken Jirfa dagger earlier exploded with a strange black aura. The black aura rushed over Jirfa's entire body holding the dagger, then a black-colored sphere formed there like a darkness engulfing Jirfa.

The other 4 Jirfa were confused as to what had happened, they tried to run to help Jirfa who had fallen into the dark ball, but they realized that they were disappearing.

"After you fall into the darkness that is there, all your energy or power will disappear. Therefore, regardless of whether you are all the real Jirfa, as long as one of you falls into a ball of darkness, then all your strength and energy will disappear which means the ability of 5 Shadows will disappear. Match over! Even though I am not a complete winner because I did not defeat you in a 1 on 1 fight, I can at least kill without any problem by freezing you who lost consciousness in the dark ball. I made use of other people's plans to win, so this was also arguably my victory" Myro said without the slightest hesitation after seeing the other 4 Jirfas disappear.

Currently in the room only lived Myro with a ball of darkness that swallowed Jirfa, Myro saw the ball of darkness full of disgust "Although Jirfa and I are enemies and this ball of darkness can be said to be something that helps me to win, but the person who traps the curse dagger is too disgusting! He even used his own son as a container, training his son to become a great killer so that he could use himself, what a disgusting act!".
