The Journey of Eternity

Trace 65 - Black Fire.

Blood gushed in the air along with Daniel's right arm that had been cut so neatly. As Arlo's scythe lit up and floated in the air, it kicked the scythe straight to Daniel. Daniel was only able to survive with one sword left in his left arm before the scythe had pierced his body.

“As usual you were great in the beginning, but..” he said while looking down at the man who was panting in front of him.

“You were too quick to fatigue Arlo, heh!” so easily did Daniel strike back the scythe.

His scythe floated and stuck right in front of Arlo who had bent his knees with his breath gasping for breath. Arlo's only weakness is the condition of his body that is very vulnerable and easily exhausted. His energy capacity is very limited for a man with a teenage body like him.

“How is this…? Should I kill you now, huh? Come on, Arlo, isn't that the same body you had when you went on a rampage in Leander Land? And why now you're falling down like that, huh!” Daniel darted towards him and weightlessly kicked Arlo's head until he was thrown away.

Arlo raised his training body while supporting his chest that felt tight. Just then he raised his face, there was already a spear that floated so fast towards him.

“There's no time for rest, right? Arlo...!”

Since there was no time to dodge, Arlo's head was crushed on the tip of the spear. Pushing his body down sprawled on the ground with blood flooding around him. With pleasure Daniel laughed with satisfaction. Simultaneously, Arlo's body began to recover completely.

“We start again?” chirp Daniel by dragging the big mace in his left hand and hitting it straight at Arlo.

He held the cudgel with a scythe in both hands. Although he was currently also grimacing in pain as his already crushed fingers were crushed down by the mace, leaving both of his palms to hold on.

“Hahaha! Hows it? Do you feel it, Arlo.” The face of contentment was completely swept away through Daniel's smile.

“Ka-you think...this will be over soon…? The blood flowing in your chest will pay for the pain in my body.!” Arlo pushes Demgan strong and throws his tone.

Just as the mace was hovering in midair, Arlo kicked it back towards Daniel with a scythe following behind him. Daniel's body easily dodged the two attacks, even grabbing back the huge mace with just one left hand.

“Do you no longer have any tricks to kill me in one strike?” chirps, condescending.

“What am I doing. Heh!” Arlo pulls back the sickle cord and turns the scythe.

Just as his makeshift ramped in front, Daniel would take it back and avoid Arlo's scythe. But since the scythe was only avoided, it could be pulled back from Daniel's back and attacked him directly. He turned around and tried to withstand his violent clash with the already cudgel which turned instantly into a sword.

Simultaneously, his scythe bounced in the air and his kebel stretched right in the air. The opportunity is taken by him by cutting the cable that connects Arlo. The cable was cut off and the sickle bounced further and further in the air, while the rest of the pieces simply vanished like smoke.

“In this way, what will you do, Ar-“

“Nona Liya..!” blood came out suddenly from both of Arlo's eyes.

Daniel was immediately shocked and turned to see where he was addressing the scythe. His scythe floated and spun so quickly towards him, with a vaguely red-dressed woman walking around smoulderingly approaching him. Just as his scythe was already hovering in front of his face, the scythe was stopped intentionally by the woman.

The shadow was only vaguely like a spirit walking towards him. The look on his face did not change by just looking at Daniel with a face filled with anger.

“Then as you like, this will end faster than usual..” Arlo said, confident.

He pulled the dagger hidden from under his cloak and prepared to attack Daniel with the woman. His faint scythe seemed to float through the air and shot towards Daniel. While from behind, Arlo prepared to attack with a small dagger in his right hand.

Simultaneously, the ground suddenly shook for a moment at the tailing cry of a woman from a distance. Interesting to both of them, especially Arlo who recognized the voice. Not far from him, faintly black flames coiled and shot towards him so quickly. Nemun had not yet gotten the fire to hit the two of them, the fire had already been blown away by Liya with Scythe Arlo.

“What was that?” chirps Arlo observes the source of the attack.

“This fire belongs to Miss Ely. It's likely he's the one who released it...” Said Liya as clearly as possible in front of Arlo.

For a while, the three of them simply turned their eyes away from the fight and continued to stare at the source of the attack. Daniel suddenly darted away with two dried up demons in both hands. Surely Arlo also followed the man with him, they stopped at a ruin filled with blood around him.

“Nona!”

Arlo darted towards a girl who was already slumped in hand with her golden sword that was burned by the black flames that enveloped him. He turned back the body of Eri who was lying limp in front of him, no blood or wounds were scratched on his body. There were burns left on both hands of the girl.

“Arlo... hah..” Eri lifts her body and wakes up in the middle of Arlo.

“Are you okay, Miss? What really happened!”

“I'm fine. Huh! that demon? where's she!” Eri looked around, looking for something.

“What do you mean, there's no one here. Or don't-don't..” Arlo began to realize everything around him.

Two men were lying limp with bodies full of blood. Not far from him, a very familiar girl also lay bleeding wounds with two men who were also unconscious there.

Khira with burns all over her body, Nanda who was covered in blood beside her. Bela was lying limp with a hole in her stomach and two people lying behind her.

And even worse, blood smeared the ruins from the remnants of Eri's fight.

“I should have realized this before, they left too soon.” Arlo looked down sadly full of regret.

“Arlo..!” a man darted with two spears that had come first.

Exactly the two spears stopped with the same scythe and blocked his path. Daniel had already put on a wide smile with a dark aura that enveloped his entire body. With all four hands holding the same two swords and two spears as before, he stood looking down at Arlo.

“Are you going to play seriously, Daniel..?”

“Why not, the game has been ended by the girl. Then it's our turn to end this game as well, right..”.
