Chapter 81 - Ki

Seeing his captain and the elf fighting a literal battle of light v/s dark Sekke looked toward Asta who was looking at the battle with awe.

'Well, it is a great fight. But seeing how chill Yami-san is against that elf bastard's light-speed attacks is making me a bit pissed.'

"Well seeing that I am not getting my turn any time soon. Let's get back to practice," muttered Sekke as he lifted his sword.

"Eh? You are going to practice right here?" asked Asta.

"Yeah, I mean Yami-san is kicking his shining butt. So I don't think that we need to worry that much. Not to mention I am on the backup if things start to look bad for Yami-san." said Sekke.

"Who is the back up here, you dumbass," said Yami as he landed beside the two boys and smacked Sekke's head.

Ignoring the fact that Yami just smacked him Sekke looked toward Licht and noticed a couple of cuts around his body.

He then looked at Yami and said, "...Teach me this trick that you are using to fend off those light attacks."

"Huh? Do you want to learn my secret technique?" asked Yami as he looked at the beat who asked him before he was going to make him learn to sense ki.

"Alright then, but I will explain only once. The next time I am going to charge 500 yuls. Oi short brat, get here as well," said Yami as he smacked another light sword.

Hearing that Asta stood near the two and started hearing Yami's explanation about ki.

After he was done telling them about ki he raised his sword and smacked a magic bullet that came towards Asta from behind.

"Good timing. Practice on that scrawny dude with slanty eyes," said Yami as he pointed at Valtos.

"Huh?! On the scrawny dude with slanty eyes? That's too sudden! Of course, I can't!" said Asta.

"From where I come from there is a saying...[A warrior never goes back on his word]. You said you were going to become the wizard king, didn't you? Surpass your limits. Right here, right now. There's no other way."

Asta stared at Yami for a while before a determined look appeared on his face.

"Yes sir!!" yelled Asta as he took a stance.

"What about me Yami-san, the scrawny dude is slow for me. He won't do," asked Sekke as he pointed toward the zombie-looking guy."

"You are going to deal with that light show," said Yami as he pointed his sword at Licht.

Sekke nodded and then stepped forwards and said, "Then that means you are not going to interfere in my fight?"

"Huh, who said that, 10 minutes, that's all I am giving you. Learn ki within that limit," said Yami as he kicked Asta who tried to sense the bullet only through his ears.

"Huh? Only 10 minutes? That's way too less." yelled Sekke as he looked back at Yami.

"Ho, well I guess it's way too much to ask from a dumbass like you," said Yami with a sigh.

"....Just you wait that elf bitch is going down within 5 minutes, and that includes me leaning this ki shit as well," said Sekke with a being popping on his forehead.

Sekke looke towards Licht who was looking at them with his usual calm expression on his face and said, "The moment I master this ki thing, you should be prepared for the consequences of ignoring the dark lord earlier." and then gestured for the elf to continue.

He then closed his eyes and immediately cleared his mind and then took a deep breath.

'Concentrate...concentrate, clear your mind. Control your breathing...' thought Sekke as the sounds around him slowly started to disappear.

Yami's eyes immediately widened as he noticed the change in Sekke's ki and a huge grin appeared on his face.

'...This dumbass really is a monster of some sort.' thought Yami.

Light, who was provoked by Sekke pointed all the light swords behind him towards Sekke but still decided to take a bit of caution and fired just a single sword at him.

Seeing the sword fly towards Seeke at full speed Yami, Licht and Asta looked at the scene with suspense wondering what was going to happen.

And just as the sword reached near Sekke the three widened their eyes in shock.

"H-H-Haha...Haha...it was my mistake to expect much from a human," said Licht with a laugh as he saw Sekke's sword flying out of his hand in a completely different direction.

"S-Sekke! Ouch! What was that for?!" yelled Asta as he saw Sekke being hit by the sword.

"Don't shout...That brat is about to break his limits," said Yami with a serious look on his face.

Not hearing what Yami said Licht started firing light swords at Sekke which continued to hit him. though all of them got destroyed as soon as they hit Sekke's body because of his [Bronze Body] spell.

"...I've wasted a lot of my time on you. It's time to get this over with," said Licht as the light swords started shining even brighter and immediately launched at Sekke at an even faster speed.

"What a surprise, you took the words right out of my mouth," said Sekke in a calm tone as he opened his eyes and looked towards the incoming light sword and punched it with full force.

Seeing the staring light sword being destroyed by Sekke's punch Licht's eyes widened in shock as Selle looked at his fist with a slightly dissatisfied expression on his face.

"...It was a bit off, looks like it will take a bit of practice to get the precision up to a level."

Seeing Sekke ignoring him once again, Licht got even more pissed at the blond guy in front of him and started firing all the light swords toward Seeke.

Feeling the mana coming towards him the dark lord glanced at the incoming light attack and said, "Well, let's strike while the iron is still hot." and started punching the incoming light swords at full speed.

"Haha, this shit is amazing! So this is what ultra instinct feels like," exclaimed Sekke as he was punching through the volley of light swords without even properly being able to see them.

"...Shit, this is reminding me of some bad memories..." muttered Yami as he saw Sekke punching through the light attacks. He remembered the figure of a woman using fire magic to punch the hell out of him with an excited expression on her face. A shiver ran down his spine as he looked at Sekke who was now advancing towards Licht at full speed while dodging at punching through the light swords.

Soon he got quite close to Licht and started gathering mana over his fist.

'Reinforce my body with reinforce meant magic, gather magic around my arm in layers...' thought Sekke as purplish mana started gathering around his fist.

Seeing the familiar mana Yami looked at Seeke with surprise and said, "Oi! I will sue you for copyright-"

"Shut up and just witness the might of the dark lord!!!" yelled Sekke as the blank pages in his grimoire started shining as words started appearing in it.

[Dark Debuff Magic: Dark Cloaked Magic Smash]

"SMAAASSSHHHH!!!" yelled Sekke, as the mana gathered around his fist, launched forward in form of a shock wave of dark magic destroying all the incoming light swords in an instant, and headed towards Licht who immediately moved from his spot along with the fallen Valtos.

Soon the elf appears at a different spot as Sekke looked at him with a smirk and said, "Be prepared to face the might of dark lord. I am not going to hold back now."
