The Dark Slayer's
[S3] Chapter 21: The Sea of Fire
15 Years ago, in a small town called Rios, a 5-year-old boy was playing in the yard. It was me, who still did not understand about how vast and terrifying this world was. Genuine smile, playing romp with an older brother.
I remember, after having fun when the sun was about to set, we were both sitting on the ground looking at the sky. My sister's hair was broken by a gust of wind. He was only 3 years away from me.
He smiled, looking at the beauty of the sky while extending his hand as if he was about to grab it. “Vord, will one day we be able to reach the sky above?”
At that time I still did not understand the point, so answered confidently with nonsense. “I'm sure big brother can definitely.” I smiled broadly at my sister's face.
Replying to my smile, my sister softly sealed my hair. “You are very confident.”
“Hihi.”
Now I understand that the smile I saw from him was his last smile for me. If only, terrible things would not happen. Maybe now I'm still living happily with my brother, father, and mother.
That time, when the sun will soon set. A big explosion occurred. In the blink of an eye, half of Rios city was smashed into pieces. My sister immediately pulled me out of the city center with my mom and dad. The four of us broke through the crowd of people who were also panicking.
Several soldiers were deployed to dispel the city-scattering monsters, but could only temporarily survive. Arriving downtown, so many citizens flocked to enter the Shelter, the only safe place now.
People push each other. Shouts from various directions echoed within the ears. Sweat washed away my body, and his chest was so crowded from the human crowd.
The sound of explosions continued to echo everywhere. When looking up, a soldier was thrown until he fell right on top of the house. Not only one soldier, but many more soldiers were thrown to the point of destroying the houses of the inhabitants.
“Arrange formation! It was Tan's herd! Time out until level 1 Energy Eater arrives!” The screams of someone echoed within the city.
“Wire! They're too strong! Argh!”
The screams made the people panic. There have been many people who have entered the Shelter, but our turn has not yet arrived because of this crowd.
The hands of the older brother I held were trembling, inhabited by cold sweat. I saw his face paled in fear. “Ka ... sis ..?” I pulled her shirt, as her heart rate got louder.
“Argh!”
Suddenly a soldier was thrown in the crowd. Some people died immediately, making me stiff. Glancing back, a sea of fire burned half the city.
“Argh!”
So many soldiers were killed. From within the plume of smoke were seen several burly figures appearing.
In just a few minutes, the soldiers were mighty and fearless of death. While the sturdy creatures with long claws have surrounded all of us.
That day was like hell to me. Brother sacrificed himself so that I survived not being hit by an attack due to not being able to move. My heart was broken, tears were dripping down my cheeks, but my mouth remained silent without saying anything.
Whether it's because of luck or bad luck, now the only thing left is me. All the people are dead except me.
My knees were kneeling, falling to my knees without being able to act. The great creatures were already shrouding and looking at me. Their faces were terrifying to the point of making this body lose strength.
They laughed, over the corpses of the citizens to show me the terrible thing. But when one of them reached out, trying to catch me, a miracle happened.
About half an hour later, someone reached out a hand full of blood to me. I flinched, glancing for a moment at him without grabbing his hand.
He was expressionless, only looking at me for a moment and then turning his eyes around. “Ingin from here?”
I shook my head. This heart had been shattered just like the city of Rios. They're late, and now just save me one? No kidding! All are dead .. then I ....
“You can move, right? Why should you be afraid of them?” The red-haired man with the black headband glanced back at me expressionlessly. “Hope Tower will give you the power to save others.”
As if my time had come back, this hand grabbed his hand. It was a meeting that finally made my life change. The weak child is now gone.

At this time, Vord faced up and then struck Jahad's blue sword until it was far away. Jahad instantly sniffed, while Vord shook his head while clenching both hands.
Vord's face was still flat, again a black monster appeared behind him like a shadow. He stepped slowly, shortening the distance from Jahad. But, the Jahad disappeared again.
“Hia!” From the right, Jahad shot out his sword.
The Vord reacted, holding back the sword slash using his bare hands. The flashes of light clashed against each other, so fast their movements made others only able to see flashes of light.
Taking another distance, Jahad leapt upwards slashing the sword vertically. The Vord crossed hands, resisting the attack until it caused an air wave.
Both of them moved so fast in the other direction. The Vord chased after Jahad while launching several blows, making the air turn into a fast-flowing fire bullet. However, Jahad always managed to fend it off using a sword.
The vord jumped, hitting down with great force. The ground shook, the dust flew shutting the vision. Flashes of light appear to collide with each other in the dust clump. The ground shook even more.
Two people jumped out of the dust. Each one shines on this dark night. The two of them suddenly stopped moving, floating quietly in the air.
“By you too.” Vord smiled faintly, without turning his gaze away from Jahad.
“Haah .. You surprised me.” As much as possible Jahad did not show that his breath was breathless. His mouth suddenly spit out fresh blood. But he rubbed it without a second thought.
“Looks like the pill you were going to start to cause side effects ...” Intentionally, Vord provoked Jahad. “Better you go home and sleep forever in a dark place.”
“I should have said that to you.” For the last time tonight, Jahad mounted the horses and pointed the sword forward with both hands. “Let's end.”
Not underestimating the opponent, Vord snapped a finger. A book with a gray color appeared and floated right in front of him. He touched the book, as the page opened, a long, gray sword in his right hand. A moment later, the book simply disappeared.
“Medium Zero. Let's see if you can hold the slash.” Vord pointed his sword forward.
“Heeh .. are you sure it can defeat my Blue Sky Sword?” Full of confidence, Jahad smiled widely again.
“It turns out your power comes from there. Blue Sky Sword is able to unite with its owner, it is only fitting that you can take out the sword as you please and increase the strength. But, my Zero Sword is still much better.”
Darting as fast as sound, the two swords clashed together until they made a flash of light and a loud sound.
