The Journey of Eternity

Trace 67 - Substitute Body.

Daniel slashed Eri's left arm without giving him a chance to at least rest. He continued to chase wherever the girl went. With his arms covered in blood, his body that had already reached the limit fell on the river bank. The river that pools blood all over. Eri's eyes did not blink for a moment until Daniel finally came and was about to end it all.

He jumped up and stood right in front of Eri, Eri trying to keep his distance by dragging his body slowly away as much as possible from the man, along with his already dead sword. With a wide smile, Daniel walked slowly closer to the girl while dragging the large sword in his hand.

“Why do you keep running…? What about your arrogance before, Miss Eri…? get up and fight me! Or you die by being impaled on your chest..!!” just as Daniel's sentence was last, he thrust the great field straight towards Eri.

Eri yelled out Arlo's name by closing his eyes, something could be heard hitting in front of him along with the huge sword that suddenly stuck right beside him. As he opened his eyes, Danile's right arm had been cut off neatly with a scythe stuck right beside him standing up.

“You're back..?” stare back by looking back.

“Of course. My job, it's not done yet. Hows it? Do we start again..?” chirped at a man in a short suit full of tears and injuries on his body that was starting to recover.

“Alright... Since it is really forcing, the fight will be over soon. Faster than you think!!” daniel's arm quickly recovered until it shot towards the man.

With hair next to each other, long and blonde on the left. A whiter face and wider eyes on the left. The man's body was enveloped by the flames entirely and grasped the sickle cord in his right hand. It was the bodies of Arlo and Leo that merged.

“I want to laugh, your body to be next to the garbage collector!” Daniel struck them both with a great sword in his left hand.

The weapon was restrained by something enveloped by the fire, Arlo's dagger extending because the fire was shaped like a sword and the impact was only held with his left hand. Slowly the fire spread rapidly towards the sword and reached Daniel. He immediately retreated and kept his distance before the fire burned his entire arm.

“Leo... Why are you still bothering? You who are dead better go and do not disturb the affairs of others!” nagged Daniel in an annoyed tone.

“Why? Are you afraid, Prince Wasted..?”.

“Cih..!”

Daniel clasped his body firmly, slowly recovering his hands. Dwngan grasped the large sword in his hand preparing to decapitate the man iyu. Something lit up on the tip of his forehead with a yawning aura on it was dark in color.

He thrust his sword into the ground and the ground immediately slashed towards the man. Not yet had the man jumped to dodge, Daniel had already appeared just like that right next to him without a sign. He slashed his sword and struck the man towards the hole, but the attempt was still thwarted by a scythe pulled from behind and diverted attention.

Daniel was forced to retreat and undo his intentions, while the man darted towards Eri and stood right in front of him. The girl still grimaced with enduring the pain in her body and stared limply at the man in front of her.

“Nona, this is not Mr. Arlo. I'm his servant, just call Leo. Currently Mr. Arlo is asleep to recover his strength. Until that time comes, I will protect you. So, command whatever you want.” said the man by extending his hand to Eri.

“Then where is Arlo..?”.

“Ikhtisari Land, a place where life and death meet simultaneously. Until Mr. Arlo returns, chances are your wounds will never heal.” Close Leo by pulling the dagger in his hand.

The scythe in his grasp began to be engulfed by the same fire until it was completely enveloped, with both weapons, Leo was already waiting for a direct order from Eri.

“Pending for orders, Miss!”

“Do it...”.

From a distance Daniel crept with his greatsword, slowly approaching and staring intently at the two of them. Leo darted one way and faced each other with a sword each, until one of them hit and mendrong back and forth.

The fire-covered dagger suddenly looks dim as Leo realizes something that feels heavy. Just as they were facing each other earlier, Daniel quietly sucked the power of the fire that enveloped his dagger. It can already be seen from the condition of his body that is getting smoldering. He laughed out loud as Loe realized that and looked at him with a look of hatred.

Just then, Daniel darted suddenly right in front of him. He kicked Leo's body directly into the air, followed by Leo who was slashed to the ground until it crashed with a fast. He was lying limp on the ground with enduring the pain in his body, it seemed like some of his bones were broken from the impact.

“What is it over, Waiter.?” chirp Daniel who was standing right next to him lay down.

“How about trying to die for one more time?” he continued by pointing his great sword right above Leo's chest.

“Nona!!” a voice that sounded simultaneously, came out from within Leo's mouth.

“Mr Arlo!” chirps Leo.

“What? Sorry-sorry, it's been troubling you again.” came out from inside the same man's mouth.

“No! This is an obligation!” answer firmly Leo.

“Alright... I start, Leo!”

“Good!”

It's not entirely possible to say Arlo has recovered, at least he can be conscious with the rest of his energy. Because in order to fight, he borrowed the power that had been stored for so long within that fire Core. While the soul of the Fire Core is inside Leo. At the same time, the wounds inside Eri slowly recovered until they fully returned to normal, but he was still unconscious.

With Arlo's return, his body slowly regained its original existence. The fire within Leo slowly creeps into Arlo's body until it becomes fully energized, but this may be quite risky, Arlo's inner self.

“You're always troubling anyone you know, Arlo...?” chirp Daniel by walking with his great sword.

“Sorry-sorry, Daniel.” Arlo shot away with both weapons in his hand.

Because all the fire stored in him has been taken back by the owner and turned into energy, Arlo can not use the slightest fire. He could only use both of his beloved weapons until his strength was fully recovered. For semantara, he drained some of his strength to recover Eri's body from a distance.

Right in front of him, Daniel was already waiting for the return he was fighting again. With a wide smile, the man shot back towards him at high speed and the great sword in his hand. Until the moment the two of them hit each other so fiercely, they were both ejected backwards in the air.

This was the chance taken by Daniel to attack towards Arlo. With a spear that just appeared in one of his hands, he threw the spear right piercing Arlo's left chest until he was pushed back on the ground. Grimacing in pain, Arlo pulled out the blood-filled spear and turned it over.

Danile from a distance observed and realized something, the wound that hit Arlo was not a single drop there was any sign of recovering. He only sniffed thinly while grabbing back the spear that shot fiercely towards him.

“Arlo! You are stupid or you are underestimating, right me?” it's from a distance.

A dark aura slowly enveloped Daniel and penetrated into his body. The blue flames seemed to blaze for a moment behind his pupils. He pulled something from behind his body, a spear with black fire enveloping him, preparing to be hurled towards Arlo.

“Do I have to answer that question?”

Again, Daniel hurled his spear at Arlo, following himself from behind. The same way as before, Arlo fended off the spear with his dagger at the sickle that was already in front of his body. Just as Daniel floated in front of him, the man was held back by Arlo's sickle cord until it was cut off.

The great sword slashed through Arlo's chest and scratched a slight wound until he was slightly pushed back. When he regained consciousness after he opened his eyes, the legs had already floated right in his head and hit his body so hard that it was ejected so far near Eri.

Shakily Arlo lifted his limp and stood limp, but suddenly his body felt so heavy that he again lay on the ground. It seemed like the energy from the fire cores was indeed too risky, his body began to appear full of bruises and burns.

Drowning on the ground, slowly the wounds on his body opened wide in a row of blood suddenly came out from the sidelines of his body. Slowly, his gaze began to blur and his consciousness began to disappear. Only in the faint, he saw Daniel who had gone up with a wide smile and dragged the great sword of his bath.

Right beside him lying down, Daniel was already standing up straight by preparing to stick his sword in Arlo's chest.

“What is this.. deja vu? I'll die again... yes?” arlo softly muttered in an attempt to restrain his consciousness.

The great sword was already darting about to pierce Arlo's chest, but suddenly there was a huge impact sound right in front of him. Faintly, a yellowish thing struck Daneil's sword and made him throw far away and stick on the ground. Arlo turned his head slowly to the source and saw someone standing bent there, walking slowly closer to the two of them.
