Chapter 246- Never Touch What Is Important To me. (Part 1)
*Swish*
Acht flew between the buildings at an impressive speed. In the past five years, he didn't just sit down and enjoy life. He also trained from time to time to keep himself in shape and also to keep leveling up. So, he was now actually way stronger than before.
'I am close, faster, faster.' He thought as he increased his speed and took dangerous shortcuts between tight buildings and small holes he found in his way.
After flying for almost 30 seconds, he found himself in the middle of a big field that was made for sports events and things like that.
His eyes scanned the area and located the shadowy figure moving on the horizon. He was about to chase after it but then halted and thought of another idea that would make it easier to capture that scumbag.
Meanwhile, the shadowy figure smiled as it went farther and farther away. It thought that Acht had given up on chasing it and left it alone.
'That little shit is strong, fuck.' It cursed quietly.
However, before it could even celebrate, it found itself blown in the air by a gravity bullet. The hit alone disintegrated it into small particles and threw it in the air.
"What?!"
Acht blinked from his place and appeared in front of the shadow. His face was grim, and his teeth were clenched.
"Not only are you an annoying fucker but you are also a coward. I am impressed this mix could exist in a single existence." He said with a low tone.
The shadowy figure smiled nervously and tried to hide its fear as it replied sarcastically.
"Come on, Acht. You are ruining the game."
"I don't give a fuck. I will kill you and then drain your ass in the toilet like a true piece of shit."
Then, he pulled out his midnight song and traced his hand on the blade slowly as if he was examining it after a long separation.
'It has been a while, friend. It's time to get back to work.'
Then, he lifted up the sword in the air making the blade shine under the sun's rays. Its dark and ominous black color made it look even more intimidating and oppressive.
After that, he slashed down slowly.
The shadow didn't move instantly since it didn't know what he was doing. However, that will prove to be its biggest mistake so far.
*Bang*
"Ugh!"
In less than a split of a second, it was sliced in half and then into four parts. The slicing continued as Acht watched it scream in pain.
"It already startred by the time I pulled out the sword, moron." He said coldly.
A few moments later, the torture stopped, and the shadowy figure was able to take a breather and recollect the small parts that got obliterated.
After returning to its former shape, it glared at Acht madly.
"I wanted to makae this as peaceful as it could be, turns out I was wrong."
Immediately, its hand started turning into a sharp blade. Then, it ran toward Acht and jumped in the air.
*Clash*
The two clashed violently and made the whole place quiver from sheer power. However, as strong as the shadow was, Acht barely even used some of his strength. He even held the sword with one hand and kept the other one in his pocket.
"Too boring."
*Slash*
He moved his arm and pushed the shadow away like a piece of paper in the air. Then, he made three slashes in different directions.
'Where is it coming from? Where?! Where?! Fuck, where is it coming from?'
Acht looked at the shadow as it looked around hurriedly.
"I will help you out since you seem very desperate… It's coming from above." He said as he pointed at the sky.
"Above?!" It looked up, and much to its surprise, a sword attack was coming down on it like a meteor.
It instantly moved to the side and avoided the attack. However, another slash came rushing toward him from under at the same time. As close as the attack was to hitting it, the shadow was able to avoid it at a hair's breadth.
"Hahahah! You are too predictable, Acht… I am way too smart to be tricked in such a simple way." The shadow laughed loudly with a proud look. However…
*Bang*
"AGHHHHHH!!!!" An unbearable pain assaulted its back. It was another sword slash that the shadow wasn't able to sense that came from behind him.
"Oops, I meant from behind you. My bad. I will make sure to tell you the truth next time." Acht added as he scratched his head.
"Y-YOU BASTARD!!!" The shadow lost composure and healed itself.
Then, it extended its hand toward Acht and shouted.
"Let's go to my domain and we will see who will toy with the other."
Then, the black mist started seeping out of its body and spreading in the air at an alarming rate. Acht frowned slightly and flew in the air to avoid the mist. However, the mist reached him and engulfed his body.
Immediately, he felt his head spinning, and his eyes became hazy.
'Fuck, I'm losing consciousness. ' He cursed as his eyes closed and he drifted to sleep. His body started free-falling before landing roughly on the ground.
Meanwhile, the shadow also fell asleep along with Acht.
The two were then sent to the world of dreams the shadow created. Acht woke up in the same place he fell asleep at in the real world.
'Again, he got me.' He thought as he looked around him. The same dark place, the same ominous feeling and the same deserted world.
"You have truly pissed me off, Acht. I have tolerated your actions for too long. Now, I will show you true hell."
"I want to see you try, bastard." He muttered under his breath.
"Let the fuckin show begin, fucker. We will first start with the prologue, your past! Hahahahahahah!!"
The scenery immediately started changing and morphing into what seemed like a back alley from a slum. Trash and bad smell filled the place to the brim.
Acht knew this place very well, so he didn't show much reaction except for a small frown. He didn't like where this was going.
After that, a small boy appeared from nowhere and walked to a trash can in the corner of the alley.
"Once upon a time, a small and weak boy lived in a shitty slum filled with all kinds of nasty things. This small boy was piss poor and lived with another stinky girl that was as repulsive as he was…."
