Chapter 71 - Darkwood Hunter

Leon froze where he stood; his animal-like instincts cried for fear. Filled with confusion, Leon crunched down. he took one foot forward, leaning his body with it

*BOOOOOOM*

His foot stumps the concreted floor, creating webs of cracks, bolting with the speed that far surpasses his own ability.

*PHEWWWW*

Leon did not care how and when he was found; all he wanted was to distance himself from the enemy. And with the belief that he was one of the best of Madam Laurelart men. Leon exited the ruined castle hall and arrived in the opened field within seconds. It was scaring the bird-like creatures that suddenly flew, a nestling wind created within the fogged-like surrounding.

Turning around and glaring with wide-eyed at the eerie entrance towards the ruined castle as only darkness showed within. It gave Leon enough room to assess his surroundings and the enemy with much distance. He knew too well as an assassin; close combat would not provide the opportunity to understand his enemy unless he was the one doing the sneaking.

A close call with death, Leon's senses heightened to their peaks. His body shakes from the sudden jolt of pain he thought he could bear; Leon held his forearms with the other arm. The pain that it protrudes intensives; it becomes so unbearable to the point that his eyes twitched and mouth gripped, his Blood dripped at the ground profusely.

[Impossible]

[when did that person get behind]

[i haven't sensed anyone within radius] Leon's thoughts ran wild with confusion.

[I can't afford to let my guard down]

[Ill lose this bat*- suddenly Leon instinct shook, and with his bulk like body, he clinched his leg muscles, quickly leaning backward, and sent himself back abruptly

*SHINNNNNGGGGGG*

A spark and four claw marks signed the ground like a sword clash, a chunk of rock and debris, and a humanoid shadow suddenly appeared where the Demon-like incubus stood.

*BOOOOM*

Leon sent himself backward after being close to having his legs sliced. Losing his balance, he hit the ground, bouncing back and flipped; in midair, with his wide eyes opened, he saw the humanoid shadow longs claws on both hands. It resembles his own, yet the humanoid shadow ones are longer and sharper than his. And finally, Leon had a more detailed look at his enemy.

It was standing there, gazing at Leon flying back uncontrollably, its entire body painted with concentrated dark energy. The Humanoid shadow features are hidden and challenging to determine whether it was even human; Leon had a glimpse of its eyes; they are hallowed white and wide. It made it look as it was merely a puppet without a master to control it.

[a member of the Dark Moon]

[damn it!]

[Why are they attacking me]

Still in midair, flying backward, Leon suddenly twirled swiftly. It is as if he had done this move a thousand times; Leon headed towards a tall, robust tree. brazenly brushed beside it and

*PHEWWWWW*

*BOOOOOOM*

*CRAAAAK*

With his built legs, he kicked the tree as he passed it, breaking a massive tree branch, sending it straight towards the humanoid shadow. The speed of the branch flow at an accelerated rate that contradicted its size towards the humanoid shadow, precisely towards its face,

*PHEWWWWW*

The branch tree balance was straight as an arrow. Seeing this move executed by the demon-like incubus, The humanoid shadow was taken back by the impressive shire technique. Wondering it was capable of such a quick solution itself. And without thinking any further, the humanoid shadow watches as the tree branch charges towards its head,

*PHEWWWWW*

*BOOOOM*

And Without moving, it cancels its one-arm claw form and straight to the tree branch catching it with ease.

*BOOOOM*

Dropping the tree branch to the ground after catching it, The humanoid shadow spoke,

~An admirable trait for a demon~

~flawlessly distracting me with this trick~

~but~

The humanoid shadow slowly started to walk towards the location where the demon-like incubus had just dashed.

~one fatal mistake that you made~

The humanoid shadow starts to sprint slowly, then suddenly.

*PHEWWWWW*

The sprint turns into unbelievable blurry streaks, heading deeper inside the forest, running after the escaping demon.

~is assuming you could escape from my grasp~

The last spoken sentence left an echo of Sound that filled the surrounding zone of fogged forest and hallowed mood a lingering malevolence vibe.
