Benimaru said to himself with a darkened face. "How could I have neglected this? Even the tongues can be used as weapons. But why are they so tough?"
While Benimaru was thinking of his next course of action, Garner was having the same thought process. 'This power of the Purple Sun. It can rival Lord Gargatos's power. If I don't have a way to neutralize it, I can't win."
Then Benimaru and Garner's eyes met. Not saying a single word this time, they rushed toward each other, taking the fight to its final stages.
…
On Garner's base.
Garner's underlings were able to hear the loud explosion and feel the ground and trees shake from the aftermath of their fight, letting them bunch up together in fear as they might get swept by this when their fight comes here.
Not only they, but Ragnar and Ravenna were also able to feel it as they arrived near the base.
"It looks like the fight has entered the last stage." Ragnar made assumptions based on his current knowledge.
Ravenna nodded her head to that and at that moment, they entered the open area of the base, in front of the underlings eyes. Ravenna looked at them and asked Ragnar. "I think we shouldn't intervene while they are deep into the fight. So, while they are fighting, we should capture these guys. Benimaru would love some more workers."
Ragnar nodded his head and dropped Lagnir's body, which was on his shoulder, to the ground, as if he were a bag of dirt.
The underlings, who had zero clue about their surroundings other than just focusing on the fight, didn't know they were about to get captured again, to work for someone else this time.
…
Meanwhile, the fight between Benimaru and Garner had entered a white-hot stage.
Benimaru was running out of patience, as nothing worked against Garner. It was as if he were an impregnable object.
Garner was having the same dilemma as Benimaru, as he couldn't do anything to him. He was a mage, not a close-range fighter. He could only fight from a distance and try to defend himself when Benimaru came close. 'Damn it! This is why I hate fighting against fast, close-range fighters. They would do anything to not let them get hit by anything.'
At that moment, Benimaru came to a decision. 'I am going to kill him anyway. So, it doesn't matter if he finds out about this.'
Instantly, the purple thunder and fire on his katana vanished. This made Garner a bit confused, as this power was the only reason Benimaru was able to fight against him properly.
However, he was answered very quickly when dark substances started conjuring on Benimaru's katana, coating it entirely.
Garner's eyes widened in shock as he felt his heart pounding rapidly, as if his imminent doom was coming. 'What is this? What kind of power is this? I have never felt anything like this except when I am in front of our leader.'
Benimaru wasn't done with that, as wings, a tail, and horns started to sprout out, revealing his full form. Benimaru flew up and glanced down at Garner as if he were looking at an ant. The aura of someone superior radiated from Benimaru which shook Garner's heart.
Without any nonsense, Benimaru shot toward Garner like an arrow.
Garner did the same as usual, shooting his beams at Benimar. However, this time Benimaru didn't evade, just went straight into them.
Benimaru gave a horizontal slash just as he was about to clash with the beams. Unlike other times where he would get forced back by the power of these beams, this time the opposite happened. His katana coated with his dark magic corroded the beams into countless specks, failing to even touch the edge of his katana's blade.
Garner felt an ill omen in his heart, knowing something bad was about to happen as his beams weren't able to do anything. So he retreated back while still trying his hardest to land a hit on Benimaru's body.
Benimaru chased him without paying any heed to his attacks, as if they were nonexistent. The only thing on his mind now was to kill Garner, no matter what the cost might be.
Their short chase didn't last long, as Benimaru was able to catch up with Garner easily. Benimaru's speed in flight was much faster than using his feet, and he was able to maneuver quite easily using his wings.
Garner gritted his teeth as he felt he was forced into helplessness, which he didn't like the most as he also had arrogance like many other young lords. He stopped in his tracks, and instead of retreating, he charged forward at Benimaru.
"Idiot." Benimaru whispered with a nonchalant face. He pulled his katana back again and said, " [ Dark Flash ] "
Benimaru slashed his katana at Garner, who was a meter away from him. But the moment he used this skill, he vanished from his spot and appeared behind Garner as a dark streak could be seen in the air.
Garner froze in his tracks as his eyes widened. "Wha-" He wasn't able to finish his sentence as his head fell to the ground.
Thud!
Garner's head, which fell to the ground, looked at Benimaru. Still having a little of his consciousness left, he felt he could heal himself. But that hope got crushed as he saw Benimaru piercing his katana into his standstill body, mainly on his heart.
The moment the katana pierced through Garner's heart, the light in his eyes dimmed down. One could see regret and anger in the moment of his death.
"Huh~" Benimaru let out a sigh of relief after finally seeing Garner dead, and what confirmed his death more was the notification before his eyes.
