The atmosphere pressed down like a massive mountain as her fists collided with the spears.
Bang! Bannng!
A berzerk energy wave emanated from the collision, toppling the large trees in the vicinity. The two spectre-shadows skimd forward, pressing closer to Lara. The tips of those spears shined with a chilling light and were aid at Laras vitals.
Faced with two Demonic Fighter Late Phases, Lara had instantly landed herself in a very disadvantageous position. She could barely counter the first attacks. The second attacks would surely hit her.
Shhhhuuuu!
Two spears shot forward and shattered the golden fists defense. The spears shot towards her shoulder at lightning speed, bringing a strong and sharp gale.
Lara's feet pumled the ground as she retreated rapidly in a flash.
She hadn't gone far however when her back slamd against a massive tree trunk. Her charming face turn exceptionally pale.
Daaang!
However, just as the spear was about to hit Lara, the lightning do crackled and descended from the sky and enveloped her.
Daang!
The black spears that had flown with their frightening devastating force ripples heavily collided with the pagoda; however, they were shattered and dispersed by the rippling layers of dark light.
The do made of lightning rapidly dimd. A figure flew up to Lara and grabbed her by the waist. Then, the figure fled into the dark forest, like a cunning rabbit.
"Chase them down!"
When the four figures realised what'd happened, they growled and quickly gave chase.
Tyrion held onto Lara as he flashed through the forest. He lowered his head, glanced at the slightly pale and shaking young girl as he asked, "Are you alright?"
Lara nodded her head and replied, "Thank you. What should we do now?"
Their situation was extrely unfavourable.
"Can we last until my Sister and the others find us?" Lara asked in a low voice. If Aelira and the rest were with them, they wouldn't have to flee from those four.
"Our opponents are very experienced. Their target is clear. First, they lured your sister and the others so that they could easily deal with us. They probably planned to capture us first, then restrain your sister and the others." Tyrion's deep reply ca as he continued to flash through the forest, like a hunting leopard.
"If I take you with , they'll probably catch up soon."
Lara showed an anxious expression at Tyrion's words. "What should we do?"
"I'm going to put you down, first." Tyrion cautiously looked behind them. Four figures were rapidly catching up.
"Ah?" Lara looked confused.
Tyrion quickly replied. "If I take you with , they're going to overtake us sooner or later. The only thing I can do is hide you sowhere, while I lure them away. After that, you need to find your sister and the others as soon as possible."
Lara's delicate face turned frowned; as she anxiously said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to lure them all by yourself."
She'd just witnessed the strength and intimidation of those four. Their bloodlust was surging and their thods were ruthless.
"I know what I'm doing."
Tyrion shook his head with an unquestionable tone in his voice. His figure continued to flit across the forest like a zigzag line drawn across the forest. He suddenly took out a piece of beast hide from his pocket.
"This beast hide will mask your scent and presence. You'll only need to hide yourself and suppress your energy wave. That way, they won't be able to find you." Tyrion explained as he placed it on her chest, below her neck and perford multiple hand seals.
Lara dazedly watched Tyrion complete the task with an extrely proficient technique. She slightly raised her head and saw Tyrion's handso face under the shine of moonlight. However, the current Tyrion was filled with a cold intent, replacing his usual gentleness. The sharpness was like a polished longsword, quietly hiding its edge within its scabbard.
"Be careful."
Tyrion's speed abruptly increased as sonic booms echoed as his body hlbrokw through several barriers. With a twist of his waist, he leaned slightly. The instant he had entered the darkness of the deep forest, he threw Lara from his arms.
Lara twisted her body in mid-air and quietly landed in a large tree. Then, she concealed herself within the tree's dense foliage. She also quickly suppressed the blood and 'Dust' energy circulating in her body.
She directed her line of sight downwards. Soon, four spectre-like shadows bypassed her in their pursuit. When they arrived in the area, their bodies slightly paused and their eyes swept the area. Then, they resud their pursuit in the direction that Tyrion had gone.
As they distanced themselves, Lara faintly heard a deep and low voice that sounded on the wind. "Quick, we're running out of ti. We have to get rid of those two as soon as possible!"
Lara didn't imdiately leap down from the huge tree; instead, she remained among the leaves for a period of ti. She knew that Tyrion had placed himself in great danger just to get her to safety. She couldn't be reckless and cause Tyrion's plan to fail.
"Tyrion, don't die."
Lara's fists were tightly clenched as her bright eyes looked in the direction that Tyrion and those four specter-like shadows had disappeared in. Her eyes were showing concern and worry.
Rustle!
She waited for quite a while more. Once she was sure that everything had cald down, she leapt vigorously from the tree. Then, she rapidly skimd in the direction of their camp.
"Tyrion, you have to hold on there. I'll get my sister and the others to rescue you right away!"
Tyrion's figure moved like a black leopard among the shadows of the gloomy forest as he quietly skimd through. Behind him, the sonic booms sounded even more urgent than before. Four bodies were faintly discernible as they gave chase.
"So, they're finally here?"
Tyrion said to himself in a soft voice. Then, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. A trace of scarlet light surged forward in his black pupils. He was like a fierce and malicious wolf about to set upon its prey.
"It's been a long ti since I've been able to farm damage points. Since you guys are chasing so hard and unwilling to let go, let's find out who's the real hunter!"
An excited curve rose on Tyrion's lips. He'd already been suppressing the urge to hunt for quite a long ti now.
Moonlight shined down through the tiny cracks in the forest, forming a chilly arc of light on his handso face. That side appeared very cold at this mont.
…
Four specter-like shadows quickly and violently flashed through the forest. Their expressions were like those of wolves, fixed upon their target that was a short distance ahead — a lone figure fleeing in a sorry state.
"Let's see how far you can run!"
The hearts of those four were filled with the sounds of cold laughter as they abruptly increased their speeds. They noticed that their target had started showing frantic movents and clumsier steps — likely out of dread for the inevitable.
If you couldn't preserve a clear mind under such a brutal pursuit, then the consequences went without saying.
A cruel light passed through the eyes of the four shadows. These Death Gate Academy students were quite gifted; but, unfortunately for them, talents were useless in life-or-death exchanges. The most important factors that determined the outco of a life-or-death struggle were rciless needs to kill and keen senses.
Rustle!
Disdain flashed through their hearts as they watched the pitiful figure turn a corner and disappeared from their sights. They imdiately followed.
Their figures flew over a cluster of trees.
When they passed through that patch of forest, the shadows from the dense branches and leaves dispersed from their eyes. In that mont, an humongous figure pounced on them, entering the embrace of one of the four.
The four shadows' expressions changed at the sudden event. The figure that'd collided with their comrade was still for a mont, before it sharply snarled. Their comrade reflexively aid his black spear towards the person in his arms.
Shiiiiing!
But the instant the spear thrust forward, a sharp blade rcilessly pierced his heart with a majestic Genetic energy. The sword tip penetrated through his back and fresh blood poured down.
The shadow widened his eyes in disbelief at the cold-eyed youth in his embrace. The boy's expression was exceptionally frigid, as though it'd been crafted from ice.
Never, in his wildest imaginations, would he consider this turn of events; the youth who'd only been running from their pursuit had suddenly turned back. The unexpected surprise had broken all of their guards.
Furthermore, this youth's ruthlessness surpassed their own. He'd instantly penetrated the shadow's vitals, severing his life.
"He did that on purpose!"
The shadow's vision gradually turned black, with the youth's indifferent expression as his last living mory. Just a short while ago, this youth had been panicking under their pursuit. But how was that expression from soone that was panicking from running?
So, this youth had been putting up a façade, and made the experienced experts lower their guards. Then, he'd launched his counterattack!
Neat and tidy, without the slightest hint of sloppiness.
