Chapter 145 - 0ne four five

Major Ryker and Mr. 18 wanted to continue their attack and finish of the enemy when he was injured, but the sand storm appeared and made hard for them to persue the enemy.

Then they saw him trying to esacpe and engaged in a relentless pursuit.

Mr. 18 was able to follow his dark warrior essence which has already penetrated Dror's body.

Dror escaped out of the facility compound and kept moving towards the north west forest.

Even though it was darkness outside it was as clear as in day light for someone in true warrior realm.

Mr. 18 was much faster than Major Ryker, for someone who cultivated the element of Darkness night was their home ground .

Darkness was a weird element, some people even argued if it could be considered as an element in the ancient times.

But when the first Dark element cultivator appeared everything changed.

Unlike other elemnts which were considered active, the elemnt of darkness was passive. Even the slightest appearnce of light completely dispersed it.

Dark element cultivator, created active dark element with their warrior essence, the process needed one to have understanding and affinity with the element of darkness, along with the specific technique and cultivation mantras which were rarer than rare.

Major Ryker and Mr. 18 found it harder to land any attack as Dror increased his speed, But they never stopped attacking at any chance and persuing as Dror would show weakness and slow down every now and then.

It took around 4 minutes for Dror to lead them to the forested area, all this time Dror was forcefully preventing his body from healing completely so that the enemy wont grew suspicious, but once he entered the forest his speed increased drastically and he almost completely disappeared into the forest.

Mr. 18 send a spiritual message to Major Ryker " Major I think he is using some special technique to make a run for it, I can feel the Dark essence inside him decreasing at rapid phase with his increase in speed… if we allow this he will escape into the forest.."

"I will stop him .."

Saying that, A large amount of warrior essense started churning around Major Ryker.

"Earth yari piercer.."

A humungous pillar like Yari spear, with a radius of at least 3 meter and length of 15 meter, formed under Major Ryker and it started rotating with wind element coiling around it.

The Yari increased its speed while rotating and destroying anything that came in its path, while it felt like it felt like the air around it was departing to either sides in front of its sharp edge and aiding it to move forward much faster.

Air element rune symbol also started appearing on the Yari's body.

Major Ryker was catching up with Dror instantly, Ryker didn't want to use this move earlier as this was an energy consuming move.

Any tree , rocks and the earth itself in the way was was pierced and thrown away hither thither and a smooth path appeared in the forest after major Ryker passed away.

Dror didn't wait and utilized the earth skip more fiercly trying to create distance between himself and the huge grinder that was following him fast.

While Ryker had used the Yari technique , Dror heard Xeanders spiritual message.

" Good, lead him further away from the other guy.."

And Dror complied with it.

Three fiery knife pierced out of the ground from the exact spot that Mr 18 has landed.

Two of the knife were aiming for the sole of his feet while the third one on his little brother.

He couldn't dodge in time and both his foot were pierced through, while he was able to adjust his body and save his little brother.

Mr. 18 had an ashen face " That was close , otherwise my family heirloom.."

But before he could even sigh, a black spear glowing with all kind dark red runes was infront of his c.h.e.s.t, going for his heart.

Mr. 18 used his his blade to parry the attack , but the moment it was going to struck the blade, the spear changed direction at the very last moment and went for his right hand.

thud...

The right hand along with the blade dropped to the ground, ending some dust flying.

"Aaarghh…"

" shadow escape.."

Mr. 18 used the shadow escape technique to teleport and appear in the shadow of a tree 15 meter away, but before he could take a breath.

Five thin fiery knife glowing with runes  instantly arrived before him without the slightest delay. 

He had already experinced the piercing power of these knives, it was not something he could block with just forming a wall with his warrior essence more than that he was already hurt.

" shadow esacpe.."

Before he dodged the second time with shadow escape, a small dark sword, left his body and before Xeander could do anything the sword disaappeared.

After appearing on the shadow of a further away, he utilized the shadow escape again to move further away.

Shadow escape was also an energy consuming technique of high level among dark element cultivator, The technique was divded into different grade. 

The one cultivated by Mr. 18 was the lowest grade and could only teleport him to a shadow within 15 meter radius and it also consumed a heavy load of his warrior essence.

And one of the biggest weakness was that eventhough it was dark elemnt technique one could only escape into shadow casted by something physical and not into the darkness around.

With the moon shining there were ofcourse shadows mixed with darkness, which should have made him feel like a fish in water, but

Xeander has been guiding Dror to take this path where he had already set up trap and laid down his special knife magical artifact.

Around the 50 meter radius he had already hidden away these special knives, especially around physical objects that casted shadows like trees, stones or bushes.

With his spirtual sense spread and his own high intelligence and calculation ability, Xeander predicted the places where Mr. 18 would appear.

What was frustrating Mr. 18 more was the fact that he has not yet discovered his enemy yet and the spear move that the enemy had reminded him of something fearful.

He had tried to recall his blade artifact from the severed hand but at some time a glowing talisman had appeared over his severed hand, It prevented him from reaching out to his blade and his space ring which was also on that severed hand.

Thank fully he had still put some life saving measures on his other apparels.

His belt was also a space artifact, which contained some of his most important artifact and life saving measures.

Before he could relax after dodging the knife, a spear was piercing towards his throat.

Mr.18 used his blade to parry the spear again but just like before it changed the direction and was going for his left lungs.

" Black shield "

A broken black shield appeared out of nowhere and blocked the strike, Mr. 18 face was drained of blood but he clenched his teeth to launch an attack towards the direction of the silhouttee who was launching the fierce attack.

His enemy has also been appearing and disappearing like thin air, but the enemy had to manifest to launch an attack this he was sure of.

Mr 18 has also been waiting for this moment to launch his counter attack.

" Dark invasion…"

puchi...

But before he could launch his technique, a dark spear with light yellow glow pierced through through his heart from behind.

His heart was already crushed without any mercy and he could see the spear heads that was protruding out of his c.h.e.s.t.

A black vortex had opened with demon like hands coming out to capture its prey behind Xeander, but the vortex closed by it self.

This vortex was the last technique utilizd by Mr. 18 but he couldn't maintain the technique with is heart pierced and fierce flame starting to burn his internal organs.

Instead of regret or hatred, Mr. 18 had shock on his face. He spoke mustering the last bit of his strength.

" You , who are you….

Their is only one pearson who can dual weild while performing the four season spear technique at this level.

Impossible.. Impossible…"

there was no replay an the black fiery red spear penetrated Mr. 18's head.
