Black and Silver scales protruded all over my body, a pair of black and silver wings formed from my back and a tail formed from my lower back as I prepared to fight more seriously.
This was my battle form. The battle forms of black dragons are usually black, in fact, the color varies based on a lot of things such as bloodline, genes, cultivation method, etc, but having silver scales didn't give me away as Lunar Dragons have them as well. My family was special though, we have a celestial bloodline and that caused us to have a high affinity with space. It was a hidden secret from the rest of the Federation and we had no plans of revealing it any time soon.
Due to this, I decided to make my foundational daos darkness and space which I attained the fourth layer of dao comprehension of respectively, this also let me know that space was also one of Hakari's foundational daos. I have no idea what his second one is but the fact that he has space is unsettling.
Why am I even bothering with that guy? I need to finish this.
Zantar dashed towards me like a wild beast and thrusted his spear at me, I dodged to the left and teleported behind him using his shadow and the space around us as I pierced both of my daggers to his back.
I hit nothing but straight air as Zantar disappeared before my daggers could even touch his back. I saw a flash and before I realized what was going on I went flying and went through a few buildings before crashing to the ground.
HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT SEE OR SENSE HIM?!
Demon Qiins are known for their affinity for wind, which is known for it's speed but no amount of dao comprehension in wind can grant such speed. It's just not possible. That could mean only one thing.
This bastard has insights into the Dao of Light! This fucker Hakari wanted me to try this hard and reveal some of my cards, so he omitted crucial things like this.
"Bet you didn't see that coming did you? Well, anyway this has gone on for long enough. You can die now." Zantar declared as if it was a royal decree of a death sentence being handed down upon a peasant.
Dashing towards me with such speed that I couldn't even see his afterimage Zantar appeared in front of me. I felt a painful poke through the left side of my chest, I looked down to see that Zantars' spear had pirced through my chest before I even realized what happened. But instead of me couching out blood or groning in pain I lifted my head and smirked at him, happy that he had successfully fallen into my trap.
Before he could even have a shocked expression or act instantaneously based on instinct, I jumped from the darkness and dashed behind him as my tail priced forward like a spear into his shoulder and then removed the arm from the socket. I then stabbed my left dagger into Zantars spinal cord for good measure. Afterward, I used my free dagger to stab under his navel and through his stomach, completely shattering his dantian, and successfully crippling him.
Not bothering to hear this fools howl of depsiar of now being powerless, I smacked the back of his neck knocking him out. I surveyed my surrounding and was honest surprised at the destruction we caused.
Zantar gave me a run for my money, I'll give him that. I learned something today and that was to never underestimate your opponent. If Zantar gave this much trouble then what about Kellian? Or worse what about Hakari?
"Congratulations on your revenge. You did a public service for the whole of the Federation, you should be proud. I'm also guessing that you are now satisfied since you got your revenge?" said the sly voice of Hakari, a voice I would not forget no matter how long I lived and while he seemed serious and impressed I coudln't help but feel boiling anger at the tinge of amusement in his voice.
"You bastard! Why didn't you tell me about Zantars' Dao of Light and his true cultivation!? I could've died!!!"
"I did that for a reason. It was for you to learn something, you did learn something from all of this didn't you?"
"Learn what?! That you're untrustworthy as fuck?!"
"I'm serious Ru Feng. There's a reason why I didn't tell you about Zantar being at the peak of core formation and his comprehension into the Dao of Light. It's not becuse I wanted to see your hidden cards, in all honesty I could care less about that. I'll leave that up to you to figure it out, but you should get out of there some random member of the parliment heard explosions and saw you finish off Zantar. The powerhouses are coming with Zamir running at full speed, if he catches you you're dead." Hakari relayed and a solem look formed underneeth my mask.
My intincts screamed in terror howerver as a dark and baleful aura that made the Heavens cry and the sky shatter, I made no hesitation to run away. Even at my peak I would barley be able to withstand this aura and it is only at a very far distance, it's obvious what would happen if it was closer.
"ZANTARRRRRRRRR!!!!!" Howled Zamair so loudly that the space around me shattered and the sound waves alone basted my body far away from the area as I crashed throgh a few abandoned buildings and landed in the top floor of some abandonded apartment.
I was heavily injured by that blast and coupled with the wounds I sustained during my battle with Zantar it would take a little while to fully heal. I'm not risking going out of this place until I'm at one hundred percent, I have no idea where this place is and who knows what is here.
I took a few pills from my spiral ring and thre them into my mouth and let the medicinal energies flow through my body. After waiting for a few minutes I was finallly able to regain some of my mobility. I dragged myself to a corner and got into the lotus position as I meditated over the battle and though about what Hakari told me.
As hateful as that bastard is I have to admit that his words have some truth to it. Why would he ommit crucial information such as that from me just to see my hidden cards. Hakari works on efficiency and execution, he would not risk faliure of the ambush just to find out more about me and it turns out that he wanted me to learn something. Now the question is...what did he want me learn from all of this?
