The Dark Slayer's

[S2] Chapter 8 Part 1

I walked back to the previous place, where Darwis and I were scattered. There's nothing here, just the remnants of the attack from Roman and his friend to us. After further observation, I found a trace of an attack on the wall of an old house. I'll see where the attack came from.

“If the wall collapses like this, it is certain that their fight is not far from here.”

My guess is right, far ahead of there a fight is going on. How could I know? That's because it looks like several flashes are clashing with each other, and I think it is very natural because Dervish has a Fire Control Technique, then maybe the opponent is a person who is able to use pure energy.

Before I stepped, I checked my body. There was not a single piece of equipment left, including my shadow-made armor. The blood that had been attached had also disappeared from the rain. Once again I looked up, seeing two people fighting in the air.

“His formula Darwis can make wings with fire, huh? Pulling.”

Although I tried to distract myself and did not want to care about the incident, still this heart felt empty. I don't think it will be like now after avenging someone I love. But why haven't I forgotten that girl? He seemed to live within me even though our meeting was very short.

Ah, never mind, thinking about it will only make your head dizzy. Immediately I sighed, then stared intently at Dervish. The so-called creature was able to compensate for the attacks from his opponent, but could not guarantee victory.

According to my analysis, controlling pure energy is a bit different from converting energy into another form and manipulating it. I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling around including the soul energy. Just a moment ago, my pure energy suddenly came out without any cause, but there was actually a reason.

That time I panicked a little, then subconsciously released pure soul energy just like that. It would be a problem if it happened again. The cold temperature penetrated into the body, pure energy instantly came out and floated around me. The body felt lighter, then I floated into the air.

“Do I have the power to manipulate gravity? Of course not, because pure energy makes me float.” I shook my head a little because I was talking to myself. Yeah, well, how else, I'm feeling pretty happy now.

After opening my eyes, at full speed I shot towards the fighting Dervish. Besides being able to use pure energy, it turns out that I can still use the Shadow Manipulation Technique. Taking advantage of the opportunity, I made a sword like before, then slashed it vertically at the white masked man Darwis faced.

The masked man retreated, dodging my attacks easily. Seeing his movements, I became convinced that he was better than Roman. But who is he?

I slowly retreated to the side of Darwis, keeping my distance from the opponent in front. At a glance, Darwis glanced at me. “Do not let your guard down!” whispered.

“I know ...”

“Hahaha, it looks like Roman is so weak that he can be defeated by you.” The man in front of us took off his black robe. There was nothing on her body, she was only covered by dark red clothes and black pants.

My eyes and Darwis meet. This being-this incident seemed to imply something from his gaze. However, it was only a waste of time if I asked him. Inevitably I resigned with a sigh, then looked back at the enemy in front of us.

“I want to know, what kind of face do you hide behind your mask is.” The shadows began to cover my entire body. “Do not if you hide the scar with that mask.”

“How can a man as strong as myself be hurt.”

“Great is also your confidence to the point of saying that to me.”

The man's right hand was affixed to his mask, slowly showing the face behind the mask. “Remember my name well before you get there, Leon.” His face was no stranger to me, but how could this man be so much stronger than Roman. “I was Verx, one of the guards who confronted you back then,”.

“But that's the fact, Roman and I have hair like this because of the side effects of using pure energy.”

True too, Roman's hair changed as well. If they're both here, that means. I immediately glared around, finding out if there were any other members of the Snake Clan.

“Free only.” Verx made an orange-colored sword of light, then pointed it at us. “Only the two of us are left.”

“Death to you!” Suddenly so many fireballs from all directions, attacked Verx.

The explosion occurred, smoke instantly covering Verx from our view. For a second I didn't want to blink so I could see the surprise attack from him. However, what happened was very different from what I thought. When the smoke disappeared completely, Verx just stood up while holding his sword of pink light.

“You think that weak attack can hurt me?”

Darwis gritted his teeth, maybe he was angry because he was mocked. Besides, Darwis must still be annoyed that he was once expelled from the Snake Clan because it was apparently a monster-like one.

I created the sword in my right hand using the Shadow Manipulation Technique. Verx darted towards us, without warning I went straight ahead, then launched a single sword slash. He managed to resist my first attack, we fought swords for quite some time.

No one wanted to budge, but out of desperation, I immediately retreated to the back, where Dervish was. “He's a pretty strong opponent. I'm amazed you can hold it this long, even if it's a little battered.”

“Whispering!”

Obviously Darwis didn't accept it when I said he was battered. However, that's the fact, he did hurt—alau not lah— when against Verx.

“From now on,” the shadow that envelops my body, now forms a protective gear, “let me face it one on one.”

“But, you're kan—” He's about to stop me.

“It's still better if I face it than you die in vain.”

“Cih, alright.” I don't want him to finally follow my request.

Good, if he could take advantage of this opportunity to recover some manpower. At least it can make our winning chances increase. Back to my eyes on Verx. That person seemed unconcerned about what we were planning, so just looked at it. Confidence in his strength is very high.

I smiled a little, then said, “Don't regret your choice.”

“Who is also sorry.” He put a faint smile on his lips.
