"Huff. Huff."
Ryker was covered with dozens of cut wounds.
"Hahahahaha!" Varis laughed maniacally as he appeared in front of the ex-hunter.
"Yield and I might just spare your life."
Ryker's responded with a light chuckle and a smirk making Varis grit his teeth.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realise I was telling a joke. Maybe I should stop using this dagger I picked up on our way here." Varis tosses the dagger he was holding.
He then raises his hand and channels his astral energy until an energy blade was formed.
Ryker gasped. 'He created an astral blade?'
" Hahaha! Judging by your reaction, I'd say you've only started learning about the basics of using astral."
'Unlike astral projection where the user emits their astral energy out of their body, he emits his astral energy and keeps it attached to a part of his body while shaping said energy, incredible.' Ryker noted to himself.
