With masks on their faces, Darren and Akira stared at each other. They clenched their hands together, preparing to face each other's attacks.
"Emerald Bullet!" Akira launches his first attack.
The spark! The spark! The spark! Green bullets flew through the air, hurtling towards Darren at high speed.
With his sword, Darren tried to fend off all those bullets. It's cetang! The ceting! One by one the bullets were reflected.
"Emerald Sting!" Akira launches his second attack.
Green needles sprang from all directions. There was no way Darren could fend off all of that with just his sword.
"Non-elemental Spell: Protection!" Darren said immediately.
The needles slid towards Darren's body. But thanks to his Protection, he prevented the attack.
"He's smart too" Akira said. "It looks like a long-range attack won't work on him. I have to get up close and use my sword skills."
Akira suddenly pulled out a sword that was clearly not there before.
"The sword just appeared in his hand. Is that magic?" Darren thought when he saw it.
Akira ran straight towards Darren, pointing his sword straight ahead as if to finish him off.
Darren anticipated him with the Aergium style he had used before.
"Aergium Blade Art: Wind Cutting Slash!"
Akira's straight attack was thwarted with slashes from his sword. But Akira doesn't seem to care about that.
Akira suddenly stomped his feet and was thrown into the air like a salto. He changed the position of his sword and charged towards Darren's face.
The ceting! Darren turned it back. He was really focused this time. He had to fight it, but on the other hand he also did not want to hurt him.
"About, can we stop this?" Darren said while trying to stay alert.
Akira replied with a very soft voice. "I wish I could" he said as if he didn't want any of this to happen. "But work is work. I can't just take off someone dangerous."
"If you hadn't shown up by then, me and my team would have been dead. We owe you one" Akira said. "But if it's just to trick us, then it won't work."
Akira again launched his long-range attack. "Emerald Bullet!"
As the green bullets flew, Akira also moved towards Darren. He swung his sword from the bottom up.
Attacked from two directions at the same time, had made Darren depressed. If he focused on the bullet, Akira could have slashed it. But if he focuses on Akira, then the bullet can hit his face.
Darren picked up a horse with a strengthening position on his leg. He must remain standing and must not fall, or this will all end in his defeat.
"Thunder Elemental: Cover Me in Thunder!"
With his steady horses and unbroken defensive position, Darren poured lightning energy throughout his body.
This move was the same as the one he used against Michael back then.
Jreerett! Akira's sword blow turned into a powerful burst of lightning once Darren's body came into contact with him. Coupled with the puncture of the bullets earlier, making the explosion three times stronger.
Akira, who was shocked when the lightning explosion appeared before him, did not have enough time to dodge. It ended up being struck and bounced quite far away.
Pork! Some pieces of material were thrown to the ground. Looks like his armor suffered a little damage.
Darren, who was still standing there, saw that everything had happened so quickly, clasped his sword again and approached Akira slowly, but remained vigilant.
"about?" Call her slow to make sure she's alive.
But there's no answer. Darren panicked. Did he kill anyone again?
He touched Akira's body which was still lying and felt the body was still warm. He's still alive!
But even more surprising. The moment Darren looked at his face, his mask had been shattered. The real face of Akira can be seen only by the light of the sun.
"He's a girl?" Darren was shocked when he saw his face.
He tried to ignore that for now. Now, he has to cure it. It seemed like he was draining too many lightning elements earlier.
"Heal!" Darren. "Come on, you can't die!"
But just before he finished, someone had cast a spell behind him.
"With!" Turns out it was Accel who had been detached from the bond. How could? He seems to have held his magic wand. That seems to be the reason.
Darren who was still busy, was not prepared for the impromptu attack. He did not have time to react and ended up receiving Wither's magic.
"It seems like your life is running out now" Accel said arrogantly.
Darren could feel something on his back. What is Wither magic? Is his life finished?
"Ah, I will die again," he thought desperately.
