Chereads / Rudy the Spirit Eater / Chapter 4 - Meeting It

Chapter 4 - Meeting It

In Rudy's subconscious

Rudy is back to the empty dark place the difference is that he's not floating anymore but he is standing as if there is solid ground beneath his feet and there is water covering his feet.

He looked around him but nothing comes to his eyes, but he feels the presence of another thing here with him.

Rudy felt goosebumps from the feeling of being watched when suddenly he hears a low growl sound.

He looks to his back.

What he sees makes his legs turn to jelly in fright.

He sees bulging golden eyes.

A deep low baritone voice greets him, "How..dare..you.."

The voice of this thing sent chills to Rudy's spine, he never heard a voice so scary yet astral at the same time.

Deep down, Rudy feels scared but he still puts a strong front and replied, "What are you?".

GRAAAH!!

The loud roar is so powerful that it even reverberated the nothingness.

"A lowly human wants to force me to make a contract?!" The spirit roar angrily.

Normally when a seeker wanted to make a contract through Suanggi Ritual, they will meet the spirit that chooses them in their subconscious. In there, they will be tested through various trials to deem them worthy of the spirit depending on the spirit's alignment and grade. Some Spirit will ask for a sacrifice or an oath, the higher the grade the harsher the sacrifice or the oath.

The bulging golden eyes step forward revealing the spirit's face.

Rudy widened his eyes after seeing the spirit's face, he felt really intimidated but still, he tried his hardest to put up a strong front.

The spirit has a red face with bulging golden eyes, it has a bat's ear, four fangs curved outwards, a long black beard with white petal flower scattered in it, and a long golden messy hair, it wears a golden necklace that's engraved with different kind of gemstones and a big crown with white diamond and red flower decorating it.

The spirit's bulging eyes seem to see through Rudy's soul.

The spirit smirks deviously and said with its baritone voice, "I sense your fear"

GRAAAHH!

The spirit pounces forward with its shadowy body and engulfs Rudy whole.

Back in the lab room.

Rudy's body started to emit a dark aura, his eyes opened suddenly with a red flash.

Prof. Rezvan and Raka immediately put on their guard, they started to use their spiritual power.

Prof. Rezvan started to make a hand sign with one hand and immediately two two-headed saber fall in front of him through some kind of grey portal, He's a Weapon-type seeker.

Raka on the other hand, grows bigger and he developed claws and fangs, He's a Body-type seeker.

Spirits differentiate into three categories, Weapon-type spirit will allow the user to summon a special weapon, Body-type spirit will allow the user to change their appearances and boost their power, while Mental spirit will allow the user to use magic.

Tama rank seeker can only get the attributes of their spirit while Bintara rank seeker can call forth their spirit's trait to aid them in battle, Prof. Rezvan and Raka is clearly a Bintara rank seeker.

Rudy's shoulder is emitting black smoke, his body is shirtless exposing his rock solid muscle, his fist turn black with a floating dark bracelet surrounding his wrist that emitted a circle of a red hue.

Rudy's body moved, he stands up and looks at Prof. Rezvan and Raka with his fierce red eyes.

Feeling the fierce stare from Rudy, Prof. Rezvan feels despair while Raka puts on a resolute expression and stands his ground.

"Dark Blade Zurah" Rudy murmurs lightly as his black right-hand turns into a long black blade.

Raka's adrenaline starts to rise as he lounges forward with a hard stomp to the ground towards Rudy trying to slash Rudy vertically with his claws.

Rudy's red eyes flash with a red hue as he sidesteps to the right dodging Raka's slash and punch Raka on the chest with his left hand.

BAM!

Raka is no match in terms of speed with Rudy as Rudy's punch land solid on his chest sending him crashing five meters away.

Raka feels the heavy punch, he struggles to get up but he falls down again as he feels his rib bones break.

Looking at the scene, Prof. Rezvan decided to run for it abandoning Raka who struggle to get up.

GRAAAH!!

Rudy roar angrily when he watches the back of the running Prof. Rezvan.

"Judgment of the Dark: Dark Slash" as Rudy finished his words, he slashed down with his blade arm in the direction of the running Prof. Rezvan.

Raging dark slash energy headed towards Prof. Rezvan making a line crack on the ground and destroying everything on the way.

Prof. Rezvan looks to his back and widened his eyes in shock.

He tried to dodge it but it was too late.

He gritted his teeth and make an X sign with his double two-headed saber in front of him to block the attack.

The raging dark slash energy makes contact with Prof. Rezvan saber.

BOOM!

The impact pushed Prof. Rezvan only stopping until he hits the nearby wall.

'Tch, If I run, I will just meet the death's door faster. I have to face him, but--' just as Prof. Rezvan is thinking, in a flash, Rudy arrived in front of him and slash horizontally with his right hand.

Prof. Rezvan can only raise his double two-headed saber to block.

The clashing sound sent Prof. Rezvan pushed to the left.

Prof. Rezvan's heart is beating faster in the midst of the fight, 'That's one hell of a speed' he thought in his head as a smile creeps into his face.

'I can't run', Prof. Rezvan decided to fight back.

He throws one of his two-headed saber with all his might.

Swooosh!

The saber spin fast heading towards Rudy.

Rudy sees it with his red eyes as he parried the saber with his right hand.

CLANG!

The impact forced rudy to step back a few steps when suddenly he sees another saber coming right at him.

With no time to dodge, Rudy brought his right hand up trying to parry it again.

CLANG!

Another metallic sound reverberated in the room, as Rudy regain his balance, Raka slashes Rudy's side with his claw making blood spilled over from his abdomen.

Before Rudy can even recover, Prof. Rezvan lands a powerful punch to his face pushing him three meters away.

In this narrow gap, Prof. Rezvan decided to run with everything he got.

With a dash, Prof. Rezvan disappears from the room.

Raka was stunned, not knowing how to react to the sudden abandonment.

He looks in Rudy's direction to only see Rudy's fierce red eyes glaring at him with extreme hate.

Rudy dash forward turning into a blur and slash Raka's arm clean off.

Raka helplessly looks at his arm falling to the ground as a fist comes straight to his face.

The punch sends him flying into one of the water tube destroying it and the monster inside it, The punch sends Raka unconscious immediately.

Rudy's red eyes glance at where Prof. Rezvan dash off to with hate as he roars loudly while looking at the room ceiling.

GGRRRAAAHH!!
