BXBX NOVEL Chapter 315 Urgency
[Read the warning on Chapter 313!]
"Don\'t touch my brothe-."
Before the younger Ronny had known it, a foot had slammed into his side letting the sound of his bones cracking and grinding onto each other resound in the area before being followed by a loud thud when he had finally been slammed into a hill almost 50 meters away.
"RONNY!" the older child with blonde hair shouted as his hands stretched towards the direction of where Ronny had landed.
The younger Lea and Jacob also stood up and were ready to attack the man in front of them, yet right before they could even move an inch, they saw a fist appear right in front of them.
Yet, the moment the fist was about to implant itself onto their faces, a sudden surge of power started to flow from two areas as an explosion of mana threw the man off his feet.
"That\'s more like it" The man muttered as he threw his hands back, touched the ground, and flipped himself back and away from the energy right next to him
Even though he was looking at the man in front of him, he could feel a tingling sensation from his right before the surge of mana hit him, causing his eyes to dart to the right just to see an enormous fireball heading towards him.
Before he could even move back, he felt a tug down below too, causing him to look down with a raised brow.
\'Shadows huh\' He thought.
Without thinking much, I exerted more power and instantly ripped out of the shadows that had swallowed his feet and held them in place.
In the same instance, he swung his hand to the right and immediately destroyed the fireball coming towards his way like sniffling out an ember rather than a scorching ball of flames 5 meters in diameter.
However, when he had destroyed the fireball, a feeling of light danger came over him causing him to look back to the right even though he just wanted to look at the shadow boy more than anything.
When he did look to the right, his eyes widened as the same boy that he had kicked into the distance and had assumed to have died was flying right in front of him wielding a dagger made out of flames, a feat that not many veterans can say they were able to complete in their first few years of awakening, yet here Ronny was doing it without even thinking about it.
\'This kid is special too huh... I guess that is expected too since they are brothers after all\' The man thought, yet there was not a single trace of worry within his eyes.
Instead, he had simply been shocked by what he had seen and had frozen for a moment, a moment that the two had taken advantage of.
Ronny and his brother had both awakened, and while Ronny might have awakened a bleak and normal affinity like the fire one, his brother had awakened an extremely powerful affinity, that being the darkness one and to be precise, the shadow affinity.
Affinities like the darkness and light ones had different sub affinities, for example, the darkness affinity has the sub-affinity of blood which would later become their main affinity if they were to ascend to the astral plane.
This did not mean that other affinities did not have their own sub affinities, an example being wind that with enough control over the affinity, can create and control sound.
That aside, at this current moment both the young boys were facing off against the man, their eyes glowing with their specific affinity while mana was gushing into their bodies and being released at terrifying rates that could make anyone under the liquidus rank feel a shiver to their core.
Unfortunately for them, however, their opponent was much stronger than anyone they had ever met.
"You two think you can beat me!?" The man roared as he released a fraction of his power.
Yet, even though it was a mere fraction, Lea and Jacob were pushed back while the other two struggled to keep their feet on the ground or their bodies stable in the air.
Without thinking about it, Ronny\'s brother had shot a tendril made out of shadows towards his brother and had held him in place before he could have been thrown away by the gusts of mana and wind.
*Boom*
In the same second, the man had launched himself toward Ronny and had created a claw made out of energy that was unknown to both of them.
Feeling this energy, Ronny did not hesitate to kick forward and let out an enormous blast of flames that covered the man whole and propelled Ronny back and away from the man.
Simultaneously, Ronny\'s brother had instinctively created an enormous scythe made out of shadows and had swung it towards the man\'s neck, wanting to slice it right off.
To his dismay, however, the man was very attentive to his surroundings allowing him to spin around, both destroying the fire around him while at the same time swinging at the scythe, shattering it into a million pieces in the process.
\'He\'s too powerful\' they both thought at the same time, and even though they weren\'t really in the right state of mind due to them having just awakened, they were still capable of executing the last attack that they were sure would have hurt the man or at least left a scratch.
Ronny\'s brother slowly closed his eyes and began to resonate with the darkness particles around him as well as the darkness within him.
It felt like they were calling from him, telling him to come closer and sleep.
It was like being covered in a shade of darkness that was just right enough for him to want to sleep, yet at the same time eerie enough to keep him awake.
When he finally took a deep breath in, he felt that his body\'s instincts had kicked in and allowed him to use his capabilities to the maximum.
Before he even knew it, he found himself moving at speeds he could have never imagined he could have moved at, yet at the same time, something was weird about it.
He could feel, see and hear everything in the area, as if he was everything and nothing at the same time.
\'What is this feeling...\'
In the next instance, the feeling disappeared while a figure manifesting out of the darkness appeared behind the man, swinging a sword created out of the man\'s shadows and slicing the air towards his neck.
An ounce of urgency could be seen in the man\'s eyes before his hand seemed to have moved on its own and had shot towards the boy covered in shadows.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Ronny roared in agony and dread as he watched an arm pierce right through his brother before ripping out the heart and crushing it within its palm.
