*I'm sorry if different nation characters might've interacted with some things that are controversial in real life that might be referenced here. Deeply sorry.*
( When it all happens. )
[ Location: 'YukiKamon Splendor' Party Deck. ]
" Monsters, incoming! " said the people there, fighting the black monsters that raided them out of nowhere.
The black monsters come out and hide in using the shadows, so versatile that it kills so many people there, those Gift Users' attendants.
" They're too versatile, I can't keep, ukh! "
" Someone save me, akh! "
The people were all butchered, unprepared for the kind of monsters they were facing right now.
" Cutting through! " Nakamura Riko says for she uses her Wind Gift, the [Leaf Cutter].
[ Name: Nakamura Riko (19 Y.O.) ]
[ Noble Clan: Nakamura ]
[ Nation: Japan ]
[ Gift: Leaf Cutter ]
[ Gift Tier: 4.5 ]
" [Whirling Leaf Saw] "
Using the Gift, she uses the wind to slash every Black Creature, for she imbues the wind with her Gift energy, making it sharp to even cut the hardest steel as he casts it by hand.
" Grkh, there's too many of them, what are these things!? " she screams for she feels disgusted seeing the Creatures moving and slipping around through the shadows, which made her feel uneasy.
"( They're too agile. )" she thinks in her mind as she realized that one has already in her position as it slips behind her unnoticed.
" Guess you depend so much on your Gift, Mrs. Nakamura! " said a voice as he slashes the Black Creature that tries to attack Riko with his blade.
" You are...? " Riko says as he sees Takahashi Kensei from the Takahashi Clan.
[ Name: Takahashi Kensei (21 Y.O.) ]
[ Noble Clan: Takahashi ]
[ Nation: Japan ]
[ Gift: Aero Slicer ]
[ Gift Tier: 4 ]
" Let me deal with these creatures, you better recharge your energy for you are nothing without it thanks to your untrained weak body. " Kensei says as he orders Riko to flee while he storms the Black Creatures.
" Don't retreat to the Shadows, Black Creatures! " Kensei says as he storms the Black Creatures with [Aero Slicer: Dismantle Gusts] before the creatures swim into the nearby Shadows.
As he dismantles the creatures he grins as he sees them lay dead and fade into the shadows, gone.
" Easy... " Kensei says as he sees it.
Unknownst to Kensei, while he's leaning on the nearby ship pole, he leans while smoking during the chaos, so chill while not realizing that from the seas, something rises up silently.
" Oh my, how boring... "
" If only, I were Tier 5, this chaos would be over in the flash..., huh? " Kensei realized that he was shadowed from behind, realizing that something big is behind him that rises from the seas, he quickly draws his sword and uses another of his skill [Aero Slicer: Cleaving Wave].
" [Cleav-... " Before he could even say it, it was too late since his cockiness get the better of him, making everything all too late as the enemy already strike true to him first.
...
( At the same time. )
[ Location: 'YukiKamon Splendor' Smoking Deck. ]
" Choi Shin-jae... " Dreadbone says as he sees Shin-jae attacking him using his Diamond Ice.
" Grkkh! " Choi Shin-jae failed to slice him, he flees back to prepare his other attack.
[ Crafty Diamond Ice Hardening ]
[ Max-Diamond Ice Hard Lance Rain ]
Choi Shin-jae uses the skill and rains it towards Dreadbone who was already nostalgic as he sees it, seeing it now again with a different version.
" It's bigger now... "
" Back then it was only [ Mini-Diamond Ice Hard Lance Rain ]... " Dreadbone says to himself, as he uses his [ Dreadblade Chainsaw ] to cut through the Rain of Diamond Ice Lances.
*Dreadbone grins behind his 'skull mask'.*
As he keeps sawing through, Shin-jae then crafts a different kind of weapon.
[ Crafty Diamond Ice Hardening ]
[ Diamond Ice Crafted Pack of Blades ]
[ Choi Family Swordsmanship Style: Geomgwan Swordplay Formation ]
" Swords, huh? " Dreadbone says to the silent Choi Shin-jae, his right jaw was cut badly after all.
" So this is the Choi Clan's legendary 'Geomgwan Swordplay Formation'? " Dreadbone asks while grinning even more.
" To think I will witness, no, to think I will face as a member of the Choi Clan would use it to the likes of me. "
" An insect from the 'Gifted Elite Academy'... " Dreadbone says which made Shin-jae startled for a sec.
Shim Jun-woo hears it, too which made him stutter.
" Insect? Gifted Elite Academy? " Jun-woo asks it as his deepest memories begin to kick in.
" Kukuku, this 'Skull Mask' is outta the way. " Dreadbone then opens his 'Skull Mask', revealing his face to both men which both Choi Shin-jae and Shim Jun-woo could see his face and hair.
*Choi Shin-jae increases his energy imbuement to his ability.*
Choi Shin-jae begins to do it after seeing the Black Shadow Elite's face, a familiar face but with a different color and look.
*Dreadbone grins.*
" It's been a long time, fellas! "
" It is me, your greatest bullied insect, Park Gi-mu! " he says which made Choi Shin-jae and Shim Jun-woo shocked even more.
" I've returned from the grave, as you see... "
" And this time, I'll end you, weakling Gifted p*ssies! " Dreadbone says which Choi Shin-jae quickly reacted by attacking him, releasing his crafted swords as he realizes who Dreadbone was, with his mumbling noise, he attacked Dreadbone rampageously, his pride was hurt after knowing the identity of the enemy that dares to give him so damage and pain.
"( YOU F*KIN TRASH INSECT!!! HOW DARE YOU!!! )"
"( HOW DARE YOU RISE FROM THE DEAD AND RETURN!? SLICING MY FACE EVEN!? )"
"( WHO THE F*K DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, 'INSECT'!!!!!? )" Choi Shin-jae says in his raging mind, so enraged after having some reality check that the 'insect' that ones below him is the one who damaged him and almost made him scared to the core.
He releases so many swords toward Dreadbone, giving him so many diamond-ice swords while Dreadbone's chainsaw saw all of them into smithereens.
Dreadbones grins even wider, which made Choi Shin-jae more angry for he decides to destroy Gi-mu with everything he got.
[ Crafty Diamond Ice Hardening ]
[ Ultimate Skill: Diamond Ice Goliath Sword, Apocrypha Punisher ]
" Grmmh! (DIE, INSECT!) "
" GRMMH! (I'LL MAKE SURE TO RETURN YOU TO THE REALM OF DOOM WHERE THE HELL YOU BELONG, YOU PEASANT! )" Choi Shin-jae grunts while releasing it all towards Dreadbone below him.
*Dreadbone grins again.*
While grinning, Dreadbone remembers his past before the day he becomes a Black Shadow Elite. He remembers his mother, whom he decided not to arise from death by Ragna, he remembers his happy past aside from the pain and also thinks what it could've been if had these 'Black Shadow' powers much earlier.
" If what I've become now is what I was back then... " Dreadbone compares his current self to his weak past self as Park Gi-mu, wondering if he already had this power during that time.
" The past is the past. " Dreadbone says as he remembers that he already had a new life.
" The story of the 'Weakling Insect, Park Gi-mu' is over... "
" For none of its ashes remains and none will remember me as that... "
" For I am now, the 'Dread Bane of the black shadows that will destroy everything to its Bone'... "
"
Destroying Choi Shin-jae...
