The Deleter known as Shay, a Pagna warrior who belonged to the Noctis Clan, was battling against the Dark Magus. She had heard the countless tales about this man, and about the skills he had used.
From the description alone, she knew that the techniques that were being used were the Dark Edge sword arts. These were techniques that only the Noctis Clan mbers should know. So the question had popped into her mind at the ti.
Why was there soone that knew about the techniques? After all this ti, what were they doing? Were they soone like her? Soone who had been hiding this entire ti, away from the troubles and now coming back they were ready to strike.
She had sowhat believed that might have been the case, especially after hearing how they had taken over the Dark Faction. She knew that was the first of her goals in her mind, but when seeing Raze, she knew instantly, that the Dark Magus, wasn't anyone belonging to the clan, no one that she knew.
During the fight, she had been confident in her techniques, she had used the Dark Edge sword arts and they were equal in power against her opponent. With her added Dark Qi affinity, it was absorbing in part of the strike of her opponent.
Although her opponent was skilled and could use the techniques well, they were only the first set of techniques she had seen him use. There was one thing about the Dark Edge sword arts, and that was that the techniques beca more difficult the later in the sword formations.
The formations didn't particularly get stronger, each of the formations were more of a particular use case, however one had to take what they learned from the last formation and continue to learn new things as they moved up the formations.
Even if a person could perform them, it might be subpar compared to soone who could truly perform them. When looking at the Dark Magus, Shay thought a few things, since he was soone who had just happened to co across the book, he wouldn't have had ti to master all of the formations.
Then when it ca to a full-scale battle, she would end up being the winner. That was until she saw the Dark Magus doing sothing. He lifted up the sword, and was performing the second formation.
It was the sa as before as the Qi covered the blade, until right after a mass amount of power had encased the sword, and were intertwining with the weapon. The force almost felt twice as strong, and the power it didn't feel like demonic Qi.
It didn't feel like dark Qi, but Shay had witnessed this one before.
'The power that's being used right now…it's almost like I'm looking at the guild leader himself. How is that possible, how is he able to perform the attacks the sa way as him!'
Frustration, or to look at what was happening in awe, Shay didn't really know what to do, and she found herself thinking about how she had gotten to this point.
In the Dark Faction, the Noctis Clan had already been in chaos after the clan head had gone missing. It wasn't just the clan head though, it was the leader of the faction itself, the man who had united almost everyone under a particular banner.
There were answers and questions being brought up to the group, the sad part of it all, was that no one in the Noctis Clan could give them a clear answer, because none of them knew why the clan head had disappeared.
Shay had hope though, that he would return. There had been tis where the clan head had gone missing for a while, in the middle of his troubles. While others disagreed. They felt like it was different this ti.
There were talks about how the clan head was on edge and worried about sothing, and then, it started to happen, the purge of the Noctis clan mbers.
Powerful warriors were getting killed one by one, and no one knew who was responsible for it. Or at least that's what the general public thought. Within the Noctis Clan it had beco quite clear.
There was a change happening. The strongest clans and a particular man at the helm was forcing this change. The Dark faction wanted a new leader, and they couldn't allow for the old to still exist.
Shay watched as the Noctis clan had fallen. Each of their etings there would be one person less, until she was the only person to arrive at the etings. It wasn't because they had all perished it was because the last of the Noctis Clan mbers had given up in fear.
The clan had been disbanded informally and they had decided to live the rest of their lives peacefully, but it wasn't the case.
Shay had still heard of what had happened to her fellow mbers, and even she had been targeted. She had managed to survive a few attacks but they didn't stop, and they were getting worse and worse.
Even in hiding she had to live in fear, and it wasn't a life she wanted to live. The respectful clan that had brought the Dark Faction together, now all of its mbers were being hunted by the very clan they had helped.
She swore to herself that if she ever could, she would get revenge on the entire of the Dark Faction clan. When they had reached its peak, at the very top just like the Noctis clan was, she would bring it all crumbling down.
In her journey to safe passage, she had eventually heard of a group nad Alter who could help with tricky situations and help with any request. They weren't part of any faction, so she had decided to reach out.
From there, this was how she had ended up joining Alter, and a particular man nad Heino had caught eye of her talent, and could feel her rage wishing to put it to good use, she had beco a Deleter.
Completing task after task, which had brought her, right here in front of the Dark Magus.
"I will not, perish, the eighth formation!" Shay moved her sword till it was placed in front of her. "The Eighth Formation, Eternal Night Formation!"
