The Spirit Hunter System
The Sword that Splits the Sky

Looking towards Alicia fleeing, Adam raised the corner of his lips.

"Pursue him, Abyssnian Giant Centipede!"

Hearing the orders from Old Dong, the Abyssnian Giant Centipede looked unconcerned. He rushed towards Adam madly.

The ground shook at his every move.

"Tsk! Then let me be alone."

Old Dong immediately rushed towards the direction Alicia was fleeing towards. However when he had only moved a dozen meters, the black shadow suddenly stopped his steps.

Having a shocked expression on his face, Old Dong looked towards the figure that had suddenly appeared and slashed at him.

Standing not far in front of him, it looked a figure similar to Adam. Only, his entire body was pitch-black like ink.

"This ... clone?" muttered Old Dong with an expression of disbelief.

Having lived such a long life, it did not mean that he had not seen various unique abilities. In fact, he had also seen abilities similar to shadow clones.

Only, clones usually have very limited abilities. But what was in front of him made the old man feel danger. Old Dong himself saw, that the appearance of the shadow was similar to Adam's.

"Rather precisely, the shadow clone."

In the distance, Adam's voice was heard.

The young man dodged bite after bite, impact after impact, as well as various attacks launched by the Abyssnian Giant Centipede.

Adam did not seem overwhelmed at all. He continued to move at incredible speed. His footsteps looked so light as if he could step on the air, as light as a swallow.

The young man was looking for an opportunity to retaliate. It's just that every attack that Adam made was in vain. It felt like he had slashed through an iron wall.

"It's troublesome" murmured Adam.

Not only Adam, Old Dong also felt very troubled when he had to face Adam's shadow clone.

As a poison master, he usually attacked with small weapons like needles. At best, he used a short blade sword coated with poison to finish off his enemies.

Adam's own shadow was clearly unaffected by the poison.

After fighting for quite a while, Old Dong finally realized something. That made him smile.

"So so ..."

Old Dong finally found out the weakness of Adam's shadow clone.

Although Adam's shadow clone was similar to its owner, it even had strength, speed, and defense just like its owner. Shadow clones could also use sword techniques or fighting techniques. However, those shadow clones could only take advantage of it.

Adam's shadow clone could not expend fire-type qi energy, it could not use the foot movement technique that made it like walking in the air, and some other energy-related techniques possessed by the original body.

"Then ..."

Old Dong tore off the clothes covering his left arm. At that moment, from where the old man's left hand that had broken off was suddenly overgrown with disgusting-looking flesh.

The meat grew into a shape similar to an octopus tentacle. It was just that, it was thinner, longer, and filled with protrusions and had many mouths full of sharp fangs.

The number of tentacles is four. The four wrapped around each other and formed a large hand that was out of sync with Old Dong's thin and short body shape.

Old Dong instantly rushed towards the shadow clone with the short blade sword in his right hand. He then darted quickly and slashed right at the neck of the shadow clone.

The shadow clone instantly fended off Old Dong's slash movement. But instead of panicking, the old man even showed a cruel grin.

"Because of you!"

Old Dong's left arm immediately shot out. The monster's arm instantly hit the head of Adam's shadow clone with incredible power and speed. Countless sharp fangs were like sharp saws that instantly blew up and tore apart the head of Adam's shadow clone.

When the shadow clone's head was blown his body still in place before finally faded away.

Adam who was avoiding the attack of the Abyssnian Giant Centipede suddenly stopped in midair and spewed out a mouthful of blood. Right then, the Abyssnian Giant Centipede directly smashed into Adam's body violently.

BLARR!!!

Dozens of trees were immediately blown up. The smoke immediately soared.

A few moments later, the smoke began to subside. The figure of the Abyssnian Giant Centipede retreated from there. While at the center of the explosion, Adam stood with an indifferent look in his eyes.

However, compared to his relaxed appearance before, Adam looked battered. His clothes were also tattered. What is worse, looks a puncture mark that penetrates to the lower back. Blood kept flowing from there.

Adam stared at Old Dong who was standing on a tree not far from him. In addition, he also saw the figure of the Abyssnian Giant Centipede. Noticing Old Dong's left hand, he muttered.

"So that's it."

Old Dong himself grinned with a ferocious expression. Looking at Adam's condition, he said in a polite tone, but it was also filled with ridicule.

"It seems that even a genius cannot fight three enemies on the same level and higher than him.

"You're a little wrong, Old Man."

Adam grinned behind his mask. Not looking scared at all, the young man retaliated.

"Alicia has gone. That means, my mission has succeeded."

"Heeh~"

Old Dong smiled with a disgusting expression. He thought what Adam did was funny.

"The hero who sacrificed himself for the girl he really liked. It's dramatic."

Ignoring Old Dong's ridicule, Adam sheathed his katana. After that, he bit both of his index fingers.

In front of Old Dong who continued to mock and looked at him with a tone full of sarcasm, Adam began to write.

Using his left and right hands as his paper, the young man wrote strange letters. The shapes were completely unrecognizable, even more akin to the graffiti of children's hands.

"What are you trying to do, Owl? Write the last message?"

Exactly Old Dong's question was uttered, Adam's right and left hands had finally finished writing some strange runes from his own blood.

Gazing towards Old Dong, Adam said kindly.

"Actually, you're wrong in some way, Old Man."

"Huh?"

"First of all, I'm not dying at all. Second, I told Alicia to leave not because I liked her or had feelings for her. In fact, to me he was quite disturbing.

The third ..."

Adam suddenly took out a small porcelain bottle. The young man instantly took out an entire pill, roughly ten seeds and directly put them into his mouth. Forcing to swallow it, the young man shouted in a crazy tone.

"ALL PREPARATIONS ARE FINISHED!"

Just then, the runes in Adam's hands lit up. An evil-looking black flame enveloped both of his hands. It was one of the difficult techniques and had a great risk in the Elemental Seal.

Not stopping there, golden red flames also appeared and enveloped Adam's hands. It makes the young man like he is getting a blessing and a curse at the same time.

The fire revolved around Adam's hand and began to solidify. After a while, the two young man's hands instantly turned into monster arms with sharp claws. From the appearance, it is similar to Suzaku's Golden Talons. However, it was metallic black with beautiful looking golden lines.

"Secret combination art ..."

Adam's blue eyes emitted a cold gleam and were filled with evil killing intent.

"Suzaku's Tainted Talons!"

ROARR!!!

The originally calm Abyssnian Giant Centipede suddenly roared agitatedly. The creature roared towards Adam with a gaze full of madness. Not holding back at all, the creature instantly rushed towards Adam with a ferocious speed.

A slash!

A black shadow flashing past the Abyssnian Giant Centipede. In the next instant, a miserable roar emerged from the creature's mouth.

Abyssnian Giant Centipede squirming. Looking towards Adam, a terrible wound appeared on the left side of his face. Apparently, some of the creature's eyes were destroyed. There were even slash scars on an exo-skeleton as hard as steel.

'The swords? Is that a sword?'

Old Dong stared at Adam with doubt. He saw the two young man's hands turn into claws, so, what he had seen earlier wasn't a sword.

At the moment Old Dong was confused, Adam raised his right hand. He only pointed one finger to point at the sky. A strange-looking black flame coated the young man's index finger.

When Old Dong blinked, Adam was suddenly already in front of him. Just then, the young man swung his hand straight down.

Old Dong saw a strange black beam. He obviously knew that it was a finger, but what he saw was a black sword that split the sky. A black sword swung towards him.

Old Dong wanted to run, but he felt like his body was nailed to the ground.

A slash!

In the next instant, Old Dong felt a tremendous pain in his left hand. Seeing the hand made of tentacles instantly cut so that once again he lost his arm, the man fell to his knees while tightly gripping his left shoulder.

"WILL!"

Black blood flowed. Old Dong could not help his screams. When he looked up, the old man saw a pair of blue eyes as bright as a full moon.

Yes ... a pair of eyes that seemed to be humbling himself.
