Ryan and mya appeared on the city outskirts near a highway with countless cars jammed on the highway.
And people fleeing their cars to leave on foot.But in the midst of all this was a
disaster.
Off in the distance near the lake irine and Audrey stood infront of a small gear wearing a pink jacket.
The girl was crying as the anger and sadness emanating from her caused the silhouette of a massive cursed beast to form.
The beast had twin blade eyes on it's chest beady eye's that were popping out of their socket these eye's resembled the eye's belonging to a teddy bear.
But this didn't seem like any friendly bear due to it's long razor sharp teeth amd the countless blades sticking out from all over it's fur.
The teddy bear lashed out swinging its claws.But before it could reach either irine or Audrey Ryan appeared and using his katana parried the bears claws.
The bear jumped back it's mouth starting to foam as it growledled at ryan."Cursed beast arw form from residual voudaju and emotional attachment like the desire to protect.
Their not all too rare and are extremely common but they're not usually tied to people because they might gain free willing try to take over the person their attached to.
And that's if they were not meant to kill the person in the first place the only way to avoid this is if the original soul who created curse beast is also still present."Ryan's thoughts were then interrupted by the sound of a gun shot.
"Matair!"shouted mya as she rushed towards her daughter.But Ryan grabbed her hand.
"Darkness worlds obstruction."A shadowy mist then covered the area as the bullet headed fir matair disintegrated to dust.
Ryan then appeared behind the cursed beast as he placed a hand on matair's ueadmThe cursed beast swung it's claws but as it was about to cleave off Ryan's head.
It froze as mya placed her hand on it's back.The bear turned it's head glancing at her as it suddenly vanished.
"Dream world."Matair then fell asleep as Ryan grabbed her before she could fall down to the ground and handed her mya.
Mya then watched as some of the dark must surrounding them condensed into the head of a bear that looked similar to matair's cursed beast.
"That's a good idea now the people won't be too outraged and it will keep them calm thinking he has died."said mya.
"Yeah but it's still not safe here for you it's best you leave so I'll place you in a mirror dimension which you can use to escape."
"A mirror dimension what's that."asked mya."A freinds ability no time to explain."Ryan then bit his finger as he wiped it on a beast of glass and infused his voudaju into it.
A bright white light then came from the piece of glass.But this light was completely obstructed by the mist.
Mya nodded her head as a sighn of agreement as she vanished into the mirror world.The mist then vanished as Audrey and irine ran towards Ryan.
To the civilian observers the mist had just been their for only a few seconds to then suddenly vanish with the child the woman and the monster.
"Wait where did that demon go!"shouted the man who was initially the one to shoot at matair and the curse beast.
"The monsters rught here dead it was using the illusion of a little girl to lure you all into a false sense of security and not harm it."said Ryan.
"Oh see gerbab I told you that was no little girl."said the old man as he turned to a younger man who pooled to be his grandson.
"I guess you were right grandpa but we couldn't know for sure it could have just been using the girl as an hostage."replied gerban.
"So that's why you listen to me we old folks have the experience you young people lack."said the old man.
"That's bullshit I saw that thing come from that girl there's no way that girl wasn't the master of that demon and this hooligan isn't just covering for her."
A woman then pushed through the crowd she had long brown hair and green eye's she wore a long red dress and seemed to be in her late twenties.
"Mam I defeated the moster and how would I be covering for the little girl if she had caused this when the monster was abviously using her as bait and she had no control over it even if she was a real child."said Ryan.
"If that's all true why did you obstructed our vision have something to hide."said the woman as Ryan remained calm trying yo find an answer.
Irine then discreetly took up a shatter glass bottle and cute her hand.She then injected her voudaju into her cell phone with her blood
"Reinterpret my reality."Said irine as a video of Ryan cleaving off the cursed beasts head was now being played on the phone screen.
"I'll take your silence as me being right now where's the girl and now that I think about it I heard a woman scream a name could it have belonged to her."
The woman then smirked as the people around them started to whisper."Thank god for people like this lady so observant."
"Yeah we need more people calling out these people."
"See how easy they can use their fancy tricks to deceive us we need yo keep our eyes peeled."
"And aren't they the one's causing the destruction of our city ofcourse they'd defend eachother."
"Mam you are looking to deep into this that the truth on the surface has evaded you."irine then walked up to the lady.
"Excuse me."On top of lacking critical thinking skills your also deaf hopefully your not blind
too."
Irine then held up the phone as the shadowy figure of Ryan could be seen cleaving off the head of the bear and the little girl vanishing.
"But how did you manage to get that?"asked the lady."Well she was like three meters away from where it happened. You really aren't the brightest."said Audrey.
Audrey then held up the phone so people could clearly see."Well that video could have been edited or deep faked."said the woman grasping at straws.
"And how easy would it be the deepfaked mystical mist and a person moving at Hypersonic speeds with no internet."Said Audrey pointing to the connection bar that said no service
The woman feeling humiliated scoffed and walked away.Ryan turned around as he sighed and spoke in a low voice.
"Thanks for that."No problem but you should get back to crimiya he might get carried away and attack civilians."said irine.
"Yeah I should pro."Ryan then froze in he then grabbed both girls a dome of darkness surrounding them.
A wave of fire then flew over the dome."Damn it they made it here everybody run!"shouted gerban.
As people started to scream and run.But multiple people started to combust into flames.
The dome of darkness dispersed as Ryan appeared behind his attacker striking his blade horizontally to decapitated him.
But his blade then bounced off the man's neck as the man turned around a volcanic dragon mask covering his face his mask then curled as he gave Ryan a sinister smile.
Flames engulfed the man's fist as he punched Ryan in the gut causing him to cough out blood and sending him flying into the forest.
The man then appeared before Ryan before he could slam hard into a tree and grabbed him by the collar as flames from his hand started to burn Ryan alive.
But Ryan dispersed into a cloud of darkness as he reappeared behind the man.The man froze place temporarily falling into a dream.
But in his soul world something opened its eyes as the man unfroze, covering his foot in flames as he blasted himself out of a barrage of slashes that cleaved and destroyed every tree in a ten meter radius.
The man appeared behind Ryan bringing down a palm strike engulfed with flames towards Ryan's neck.
But Ryan vanished emerging from the man's shadow."Darkness dead blossom motion."Grains of darkness then flew at the man's back.
But he leaped out of the way a few of the grains managing to hit his left hand causing his left hand to disintegrate.
He said my sword breaking is a sighn of lack of reinforcement mastery and when I asked malika.
Ryan the had a brief flash back of malika standing infront of him holding her sword."You are channeling voudaju on only the surface of the blade to achieve true mastery. It true the very atoms and soul of the blade."
Ryan then looked down at his sword as it was now completely black dripping with
darkness.
"This wasn't that difficult I suppose that's why malika told me to study every edge and curve of the blade."
"You got distracted brat."The man then kicked Ryan in the side of the head bit Ryan's head turned into a mist of darkness that attached to the man's leg.The darkness immediately disintegrated the man's leg
Ryan then twirled around slicing his blade vertically across the man's left shoulder to his torso.
The katana elongated, becoming like a whip as it swung through the air to cleave the man in half.
The man realized that just like his arm his hand couldn't heal despite his perception of the soul.
"So that's the power of darkness."Flames then flew from man's back blasting him into the air causing Ryan's katana to cleave a large number of tree's in half.
Let's see this forest spans twelve kilometers and if I were to destroy it all those people trying to evacuate.
will be burned to a crisp and the impact with cause and earthquake that destroys the bridge so let's see if you can block this."
The man's remaining leg then ignited with flames as gradually his whole body was also ignited.
The man's figure now resembled a burning astroid in the sky as a wave of heat washed over the area.
Causing countless animals and even some older people to die from heat
exhaustion.
Ryan gritted his teeth as the darkness around his body grew thicker.I have no choice now.
Release voudaju ability "A knight without valor."The heat the man was generating just by floating in the sky seemed to vanish.
"What the heat it's gone but that monsters still in the sky."
But the heat had not disappeared it had been concentrated all in one place and that place was were Ryan was.
Ryan was sweating vigorously but he took a deep breath as his eye's turned red."One's voudaju ability reflects their character.
The more they grow as a person the more that ability evolves it's more complicated than thar but I don't know the specifics.
And to see a person with an ability like yours it fills me with indescribable rage HOW DID SOMEONE SO WEAK AND PATHETIC MANAGE TO HARM ME."
The man condensed into a ball of flames then flew down to the ground tearing through the sky and shattering the sound barrier.
Bur as he approached the ground not a thing was burned.But the fire ball grew in size and density as it dispersed.
The man then emerged from the ball of fire as he sent a kick directly towards Ryan.This action caused a massive wave if heat to and flames to disperse from the man.
However the wave of heat instead of dispersing out around the area condensed around both the man and Ryan.
"WHAT!"The Man's foot connected with Ryan's blade as black flames surged from Ryan's blade.
"With an ability like that surely he'd have just curl over and die like the rest "
"You sir are an idiot knights indignation strategic sacrifice diabolical counter attack."
Ryan's dark flames then entered his body as the man froze in place his chest belly bursting open spilling out burned guts and blood.
Ryan then swung his blade decapitated the man in one fell swoop killing him.
"It seems what dispelled my illusion was nothing but a mere protection curse you do not possess power even one percent comparable to what I have faced."
Ryan then looked down at the decapitated heads surprised face the mask completely shattering revealing the final look of surprise this seemed to be middle aged man had before death.
Ryan's blade returned to normal as he turned around and saw a man sitting on a tree that had been cut down in the clash.
The man had orange spiky hair blue eyes and pale skin.The man wore a black k suit and had sly smile on his face as he gazed at ryan.
Ryan immediately went on guard as the man spoke."You're not a member of the w,e,u so being so strong at such a young age makes me suspicious.
On top of that you have the rare darkness element and have realized your ability.So tell me who trained you and why is your sword technique so similar to him."
"So similar to who malika said she and a friend made this together. Wait he's a w,e,u agent could he be referring to angelo the guy I fought last night.
It makes sense he pointed out my bad reinforcement technique."Ryan was so deep in thought he had not notice the man appearing behind him.
"It seems you came to a realization care to share."The man's voice caised Ryan to freeze up.
"Is the him your talking about named angelo."The man then pulled his head
back.
"Seems you know him but hiw do you know him?"asked the as Ryan stared defiantly."I don't have to answer to you now are you here to fight ne or not?"asked Alex.
"No infact fighting you would be wasting my time I have much more pressing matters to attend to I was just curious is all."said the man as he walked back infront of Alex.
"Anyway my name is iyador iwat."Wait your last name is Friesian but your first name is Pandoran were your parents refugees.
Or just really into exotic names freasia is a shaky continent so it could be more complicated than that."said Ryan as iyador had a brief look of displeasure on his face but Ryan hadn't noticed.
"My parents were refugees."said iyador."Oh sorry for being insensitive."It's fine but how did you manage to learn to mimic darkness?"asjed iyador.
"When you divulge to me all the secrets of your life under a curse out I'll tell you."That could be arranged."said iyador as he took out a knife to slice his hand.
"I was just joking you really I'm not gonna tell a total stranger my past."said Ryan suprised that he was actually about to do it.
"That's too bad you would have gotten a good story at my expense but we all have a right to keep our past hidden."
Iyador then turned atound as he started to walk off."See you later I have some ruffians to collect."Iyador then vanished leaving a confused Ryan behind
Ryan then turned to the man's body as pure darkness came from Ryan's palm swallowing the man whole.
Ryan the turned around.Ran then froze as felt a sudden burst of powerful energy.He dropped to his knees sweating purfusely.
This energy it's so similar to the thing I fought last night.Ryan then suddenly found himself right at the moment after he had killed the man.
Iyador who had returned to the stump was also confused."Time control aluro."Said both men at the exact same time
Crimiya was bleeding profusely as he had just clearly seen his hand get cut off but time seemingly reversed.
"That's power it's calling me."
