"Ice Illusion! Prison de Hielo!" said Rai then stuck his ice sword on the ground.
Swosh's...
Krataks... Krataks...
Dozens of ice pillars suddenly appeared as soon as Rai finished preparing the manager. This move used by Rai was the second level of the Ice Illusion technique Rai had learned while still trapped in the Bloody Mist Forest.
This technique had never been used by Rai, except when fighting against the Hell Poison Snake just yet. But, at that time used by Rai is the first level of this technique that is not yet perfect use.
Back to the current situation, though,
Currently, the Dark Tiger was trapped inside the ice prison created by Rai. The prison made of ice was able to suppress the power of the Dark Tiger and give him an illusion capable of making his physique injured.
Rai extended his hand towards the ice prison he made and then uttered a move, "Prision de Hielo! Tortura Ilusion!" said it.
Wuungdo.. Wuungdo...
The ice prison let out a buzzing sound for a while before changing with a faint growling sound from inside the prison.
"Now, feel the illusion that will damage your body! Hahaha.." said Rai while laughing out loud.
***
In an ice prison, though,
The Dark Tiger, which had been trapped in the ice field, was now able to move freely and was trying to break free from the ice prison by clawing or bumping his body into the pillars of the ice prison.
Trangs... Duangs... Sreeett's...
"Grahhh... This ice prison is so powerful! In fact, my scratch alone does not work! Huh, if only my strength was not suppressed by this illusion." murmured the Dark Tiger.
Wuungdo... Wuungdo...
"Gerrr... Grp..."
"Gerrr... Grp..."
"Huh? What's...?" the Dark Tiger's speech came to a halt when he saw a group of black tigers approaching towards him.
"You guys?! You guys, quickly help your master to destroy the ice prison that locked us up!" the Dark Tiger commanded the black tigers.
"Gerrr..."
"GROOOOOOOOO!!!"
Suddenly, the black tigers came forward attacking the Dark Tiger while shouting furiously. This certainly made the Dark Tiger shocked. Because he did not suspect that his subordinates did not carry out the orders he gave and instead turned to attack him.
"H-hey! W-wait du— AARRGGHHHH!!!"
The Dark Tiger cried out in pain after the attack from one of the black tigers hit his body and caused an extremely painful wound.
'Lucky it's an illusion! The wounds I sustained will heal once I get out of here!' inner Tiger of Darkness.
'But this cannot be allowed!' inner again.
"Dark Ball!" the Dark Tiger.
He opened his mouth and raised his head up. The Dark Tiger intended to gather natural energy in its mouth to create a giant ball of darkness.
But that didn't happen. Let alone the ball of darkness, the natural energy that was in the Dark Tiger's body was like nothing.
"W-what's going on? W-why can't I feel my natural energy?" murmured the Dark Tiger astonished.
"GROOOOOOOOO!!!"
Slashwas... Zraassh...
"AARRGHHHH!!!"
The Dark Tiger again screamed in pain when an attack from one of the black tigers hit his body and shed fresh blood.
Slashwas... Slashwas... Slashwas...
Zraassh... Zraassh... Zraassh...
"AARRGHHHH!!!"
The Dark Tiger again cried out in pain. His body is now full of scarred scratches from the blood that came out of his body.
"GROOO!!!"
Slashwas... Slashwas...
Zrat... Zrat...
Bugs... Bugs...
The Dark Tiger attacked the black tigers and managed to kill two of them. He moved again and killed a few more black tigers until they were gone in a few hours.
"Well... Huh... Huh... So tiring!" murmured the Dark Tiger.
"After I get out of this illusion, I'll chop up that human body!" the Dark Tiger.
***
Outside the ice prison,
"It's been hours since he's been trapped in the illusion, he should have been seriously injured right? Well, we'll see the result once we free him from there!" muttered Rai then whipped out his ice sword.
Krataks... Krataks...
Bruck...
"Well... Huh... Huh... I finally got out of that illusion!" said the Dark Tiger that had just been freed from the ice prison.
"Hi, Dark Tiger! Long time no see! How's it feel? Fun, right?" rai said kindly.
"Huh? You're... Grahhh... Basic human si*lan! Killed you!" said the Dark Tiger then went forward to attack Rai.
"Kill me? No kidding!" rai said then pulled the Sky Lightning Sword from his sleeve, "Dragon Lightning Slash! Level 1: Purple Dragon Slash!" rai shouted loudly.
Bzzz... Bzzz... BLAAAZZ...
Suddenly, the Sky Lightning Sword let out a large amount of purple lightning for several minutes. Then, the purple lightning turned into a purple lightning dragon wrapped around the blade of the sword.
"Now we see! Who will be attacked and injured?" said Rai then swung the Sky Lightning Sword towards the Dark Tiger.
Simultaneously with Rai swinging his sword, the purple lightning dragon wrapped around the blade of the Sky Lightning Sword, took off its twists and instantly shot towards the Dark Tiger while bellowing furiously.
"GROOOOOOOOO!!!"
BOOOOMM...
The explosion occurred when the purple lightning dragon struck the Dark Tiger's body so fiercely that it caused it to die instantly. The explosion also caused a thick puff of smoke that soared high.
"Soul Binding Technique!" rai said as soon as the smoke cleared.
Wuungdo... Wuungdo...
Swosh's...
The sudden humming sound was heard as Rai spoke the gesture. Then, Rai took out a vessel from his storage ring that was useful for storing the souls of living beings.
"Well... After a few hours, I finally managed to obtain the soul of this tiger! Shut up and wait there, yeah! I will purify your soul and find you a new body!" said Rai then closed the vessel in his hand.
"Oh, yes! I need to hurry out of this forest! My shadow must have been waiting for me!" rai said and left that place.
***
An hour later,
Rai managed to get out of the Bloody Mist Forest after traveling for an hour. Now he was already at the starting point before he entered the Bloody Mist Forest.
There, it was not only him who was in that place. But there was another man who had a similar appearance to Rai.
"Hey, what information are you going to give me?" asked Rai to that person who was none other than his shadow.
"Listen carefully! The ancestors of the Kiyomizu clan have a history of demon covenants! I don't know what the motive is, but they've definitely done the devil's pact since the first time the clan stood up!" clearly Rai's shadow.
"This demon agreement applies to the leaders of the clan and its descendants! And I found out that the white-haired lady, had the blood of the previous clan leader who died during the massacre a few years ago!" continued.
"In addition, I found an artifact somewhere very hidden in the Kiyomizu clan's residence! But, I did not manage to get it, because there was a protector that I could not penetrate! It seemed like those protectors were created by their ancestors that only clan leaders could open!" cover Rai's shadow.
"Hm... I was expecting more than that! But, that was enough to know the ins and outs of the mystery that Kiyomizu was in!" reply Rai.
