The Last Whiteblood's

Contender

Arion led the way in front, they had already traced the forest for two hours.

Almost all of them were exhausted. Daendra himself had a sweat bath but he still did not want to stop.

"Kapt, should we stop first?" ask Neo.

Arion wanted to answer but Daendra immediately attacked. "No, we don't have time"

Eden narrowed her eyes forward. "Everybody shut up"

Eden activated the power of his eyes. His golden eyes gave off light, suddenly he took out a dagger and threw it into one of the trees.

"Come out, you don't deserve to hide" Eden said.

From behind the tree, there was a snide laugh. He also showed himself to them. A masked man in a robe.

"I'm busted. How do you know, son?" ask the man.

"Your heart rate is too noisy. Maybe you're afraid to face us?" eden asked, he lied about hearing the heartbeat.

"Fearful?" the man tilted his head. "Hmph! That's right"

"Yes, I was right" said Eden.

I don't know why the man became upset to hear Eden's answer. "Interesting, how about we fight?"

"No, I don't like fighting strangers" Eden put her hands behind her.

"Come on, this won't be a minute. I'll play with you for a moment"

"Oh? Yeah, alright. But, just the two of us, yes" Eden stared coldly at the man. A second later, a black hole appeared under Arion and his friends.

"What?!" they said simultaneously. The man was no less surprised.

Arion and his group fell into a hole. Eden looked back for a moment, Arion could see Eden's face before completely disappearing into the hole.

After they were gone, Eden looked back to the front. The man laughed out loud.

"You're so cunning, you're playing me to save your friend"

Then the laughter stopped. "But that doesn't mean they survived. Two of my colleagues are waiting for them there"

"Yes, whatever you say" replied Eden, flat as ever.

The man disappeared from before Eden and appeared suddenly from behind him. Eden quickly repelled the man's attack using his sword.

"You're weak" said the man.

"And you're stupid" Eden replied.

They took a few steps back before returning to fight.

***

A deer was enjoying his meal in the forest, before a huge black hole appeared above him.

Arion and his group emerged from that hole. They all fell to the ground, crammed into each other.

Arion immediately got up, he spread his gaze around. They were not in the same place anymore and Eden was not with them.

"Oh, my body ..." Luke stroked his back.

"Where are we?" ask Daendra.

"Where's Eden?" ask Neo.

"Eden moved us here with his teleportation ability. We've parted ways with him, we're in a different place" Arion replied.

"You mean, Eden made us go and then he fought with that guy? Alone?" ask Luke.

Arion nodded.

"He won't survive" Daendra frowned.

"No. He can definitely handle it" replied Arion, convinced. "We have to go as fast as possible to Retian's place. It seems, that Necromancer already knows where we are"

He leads in front. His face looked calm but his heart was agitated. He had seen Eden a little bit earlier. Eden developed her smile, though it was thin.

"Don't die" inner Arion.

They kept going, but this time it was faster than before. They even had to run and swing from tree to tree several times.

"Ario!" exclaim Luke.

Arion became startled, a second later appeared a black spear from beside him. Arion can fend it off with his dagger but Arion's arm is slightly scratched by it.

They all stopped. A masked man appeared before them, pulling back the spear he had thrown with a steel rope located at the lower end of the spear.

"Be careful" said Arion. He raised his sword forward.

Daendra and the others are also on standby. Not long after, laughter rang out from behind the mask. His voice sounded like a woman's voice.

"From the curves of his body are also like women" Luke said.

"You .. how lucky I am to face you" said the woman. He stroked his own mask using his fingers.

"Your face .. the young one, uuuhh! So excited!" said it.

Arion was still looking at him. He must continue to focus if the woman will attack suddenly.

"You better come with me!" The woman's left arm extends like a prostitute's strap.

"Exit!" exciting Daendra. Right after, the woman's arm was above them and struck right at them.

Arion and the others dodged in time, so the woman's arm only hit the ground they had stepped on earlier.

"HAHAHA!! I'll get your body!" said it.

The woman was about to attack Daendra's body with her spear, but Arion immediately took out her ice Element and froze the woman's movements.

With a groan, Daendra managed to decapitate the woman's head. His body fell to the ground without a head. Daendra sat down on his knees from exhaustion, perhaps the effect of his injuries.

"Have you?" ask Neo.

"I thought so" replied Arion.

Not long after, however, the woman's laughter was heard. Arion became on standby, as did the others.

The woman's body turned to ashes, Daendra glared and then immediately moved away from there. A spear shot up from above and struck before all of them.

"It was eminent" he came from above his spear, folding his hands to his chest.

"What?!" Luke became confused.

"Don't think it's that easy to beat me. That was just my clone"

"It's urgent. This woman will only slow us down" Arion said, furious.

Luke holds Arion's shoulder. "Give it to all of us, you go with Daendra"

"What's? Don't joke, he's strong and beyond our means" Arion said.

Luke shakes. "You just trust me. Our priority is Rena, if we're all stuck here, then it's over"

Arion fell silent, thinking of Luke's words.

"All right, take care of yourself"

"We will definitely meet again" Luke smiled.

First they had to distract the masked woman. Luke has a plan.

In this fight, Luke will be on the front line and will be the bait. Once the woman focuses on Luke, Neo and one other member emerge from the woman's two sides, they lock her in.

And the rest, must storm the enemy, so that the masked woman will not see Arion and Daendra escape.

Luke smiled with satisfaction at seeing his raw plan work. Arion looked back while running, he saw Luke and the others were fighting with the woman.

"Come, we gotta hurry. They've made time for us" Daendra said.

Arion nodded. They both accelerated in the rain forest.

***

Still in the Ovaio Forest, the explosions occurred in succession five times. Several trees were knocked down by the blast.

Eden came out from the smoke of the explosion, her breathing was intermittent. But the masked man did not allow Eden to breathe a sigh of relief.

He emerged from the smoke, darting rapidly towards Eden with his great sword drawn forward. Eden instantly repelled it, his legs becoming dragged backwards.

They returned to the sword quickly. Suddenly, the man smashed into the ground with his sword, making a huge crack and Eden was blown into the sky.

Not finished there, the man appeared above him with a sword drawn up.

"Qube Art - Dark Flame!"

A black vortex of flames appeared in their midst, the man cancelling his attack. Eden made use of it, he fired his black fire at the masked man.

"High Art - Elemental Shield!"

Sriy!!

A large shield protected the man from Eden's black flames. Eden was not surprised, he just gave the man a cold look.

They also went back down to the ground. However, not for a second, they went back to fighting.

Eden threw his gun at the man. With ease, he repelled but that was not Eden's attack. He came from the side, and then put his foot on the face of the mask.

Bugs!

One kick was used.

"Damn!" said.

Eden appeared from the front, this time he used his dagger. He fought with the man who was much taller than him using only a dagger.

"You underestimated me!" The man threw his punch at Eden, but Eden tilted his head so that the blow did not hit him.

Eden whirled the dagger in his hand, and then he smote it into the face of the mask.

The srek!

Unfortunately, Eden could only scratch that mask. The man raised Eden's body, then he threw it aside. Coincidentally, he was thrown towards his falling sword. Eden took out his sword.

"This man is strong, I doubt I can defeat him" said Eden.

"Don't let your guard down!"

"Huh?!" Eden looked up, suddenly the man appeared above him. With a groan, the masked man prepared to slash at Eden.

Booms!

The explosion occurred right between them and created a strong wind wave, making the trees there want to escape from the ground.

"Finished already" he said with a smile, but a moment later he glared.

"What-what?!"
