Chapter 322: Sin Rises
"I'll make him wish he kept silent like a dog…"
Kai walked out with a sign of clear frustration on his face, yet on the inside lied a hint of sothing sinister.
He simply walked around the massive school campus near the barriers, nothing but tal under his feet as he used the ti to ponder over his future plans. That was when suddenly, his thought process was unexpectedly interrupted.
"Hey Kai, how's it going?" He heard a rather familiar voice co from behind.
He turned around with his eyebrows raised— last he looked, there was no one there for miles and this man managed to creep up on soone like him? "Huh!?"
When he turned around, he saw a man around his sa height, maybe even taller, his features screaming "handso," even to a man such as him. His radiant green eyes stared at him casually, his hair fell down slightly over his eyes, red streaks all over it. He wore a standard student uniform, and he looked over in his direction with a casual smile, his hands in his pockets.
"Kane? How did you find ? What are you doing here!?"
The man in front of him simply chuckled, walking closer as he took his hands out of his pockets.
"I thought you wanted to fight ? I've thought it over a bit and I decided, why not? I'm curious on how the hell you know , and I don't mind betting points too. You gained a pretty chunk in today's class, why not bet it all?"
Kai was having a shitty day prior, but hearing this, he couldn't help but put a smile on his face.
"I see… I'm down for that! Glad to see that you're not chickening out! I'll tell you whatever the hell you want if you beat …"
"Sounds good!" Moby smiled.
That was when Kai looked down at his watch, clicked a few buttons and waited… And, not too long after, a sound was heard from his opponent, making him look down and check.
"Wait, you want to fight here? Wouldn't you want soplace more private? I'm sure both of us don't want to expose our powers to everyone right?" Moby raised an eyebrow once again, yet it seed slightly off, like he was expecting such a response.
"Well, we have no choice, the Arena's are not open yet for everyone. And, besides, I can just do this!"
That was when Kai snapped his fingers together, and they were both engulfed by a massive tornado of flas that erupted out of the ground. It burned heavily around half a kilotre from where they stood and they both barely felt any heat. However, unlike the crimson flas of destruction that the Reid family possessed, this one was far more calm and sombre… If anything, the properties of these pure golden orange flas resembled more like water than an actual fire.
"This should be good enough right? No one will be able to see us while we're in here!" 'And, everyone will see your ass on the ground begging when it's all done…' He inwardly thought. "So, what do you think?"
Moby took his ti thinking, carefully taking in all that was around him.
"These flas, you'll be able to use them against , don't think I'm stupid…"
"Oh! Co on man! It just took a snap to make! If you really want, you can dispel the flas and show everyone around us our fight! People definitely saw the tornado and are on their way now. Or, you can just decline my offer, no one is forcing you to fight right?"
Moby looked down and sighed before looking back up with a smile. "Fair, but if that's the case, I propose we use non-standard weapons. Ones from our inventory… How does that sound?"
Kai's eyes grew wide hearing those words. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, it was one of the most ridiculous propositions he heard in his entire life to the point he broke out into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Wait! Are you being serious? You get that I have my family artifact right? It's better than 99% of the weapons you can buy right now! I get sad that I don't get to use it! But, when I do get the chance, people fear more and beg for standard weapons! And, you, a filthy, poor orphan like you who got power from a re—"
"Just shut up and tell your answer! I'm getting bored of this useless chatter," Moby slightly snapped before calming down.
*Hmph!* He looked down at his watch and once again changed the conditions of the fight, and Moby imdiately answered by accepting.
"You're the sa as always! You never know your place! I'll gladly accept that offer of yours!" And without hesitation, he reached out and pulled his weapon from the void of his inventory. An orange and gold, tal rod that gave off a certain glow slowly ca out, its appearance looking more like a rock with cracks showing magma, it was much longer and thicker than one would expect and, it continued to slowly erge until the tip was finally seen, one that resembled the tail of a fox and a burning fire.
It was truly a grand and impressive sight, as expected of the Fatebringers. Yet, even then both Moby and Avilia did not seem at all impressed.
That was when his skin began to pulse and a certain aura exploded from his body like a volcano. Fox-like features began to appear all over his face along with an orange and gold armour to match, one far more elegant and less barbaric than that of his brother. But, the biggest difference he noticed was that, unlike Regrit who had 5 tails, Kai only possessed three.
"Three tails huh? So you're weaker than your brother?" Moby smirked, transforming into his scaly, blackened spirit mode that caused a certain reaction out of Kai, yet what opened his eyes the most was what ca next… Moby pulled out his weapon from his inventory.
As soon as it was shown, it made it's presence known with an aura that engulfed all. A jet black blade with an unknown runic pattern Kai had never seen, sharp, elegant, and rough all at once,? the figure of a demonic dragon engraved on both the red, paper-strapped hilt that had a black gem embedded into it and the blade.
"What… What kind of blade is that!? How do you have it!?" Kai imdiately cried out.
"It's a family artifact, passed down to just like yours…" Moby smiled, pointing the blade straight at him with pride.
"Bullshit! No fucking way! Your parents are a bunch of abilityless, no-good bums that couldn't even afford an ability! They can't own sothing like that!"
"Huh?" Moby couldn't hide his confusion. "If that's the case… If they were a bunch of no-good nobodies, why do you know so much about ? And why are you and your brother so obsessed with fighting !? HUH!?"
"IT WAS MY PARENTS OKAY!! I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WERE SO OBSESSED WITH THAT BLISSFUL DEMON SHITHOLE!!" Flas exploded from all around him, and his eyes began to glissen, his three tails heavily waving violently in the wind. He boosted himself up? with a wave of fire under his feet, surfing in the air and looked down like he was reading to strike, heavily breathing out of his mouth. He revealed all of the pent-up anger he kept hidden, it seed like he won't be holding back.
But, instead of taking a step back to reconsider after his opponent's display, Moby's smile simply grew even larger as he mumbled under his breath.
"Damn… I didn't even need to say anything to get you mad… Perfect…"
The atmosphere suddenly grew cold and silent, and Moby's aura abruptly disappeared before exploding into darkness that surrounded his open smile. Dark energy that looked like it was straight out of the depths of hell engulfed him in a shadow mist that went all the way up to his eyes, horns grew tall and straight on his head with dark purple engravings on, pulsing like a heartbeat. The pattern in his eyes grew more complex, his red pupils turning into sothing akin to a lizard or viper. An odd rumbling was seen from his back, his clothes stretching like sothing was begging to be released. And, not too long after, there stood two massive pitch-black wings spanning over two ters, taller than where Moby stood.
A dense wave of unfathomable, dark aura shook the ground underneath him and surrounded his entire, body… Yet, out of that dark aura, his predator-like glowing purple eyes pierced through and stabbed at the heart of the flying man above, making his heartbeat grow abnormal and sweat to run down from his face.
A scaly, demonic personification of despair was standing re ters away from him.
"Wh- What the hell are you!? I thought your spirit mode was incomplete! No! That's no spirit mode! Are you a—"
*Shuh* Moby cast his spell, a wave of white spreading to all corners of the tornado, now not allowing any sound to exit.
"SHALKER!?"
