"Oh I know, do what you must. After all, I've been looking forward to a challenge, and after this fight is done, you too shall obey me. Fear not though, I won't treat you wrongly, nor shall I deprive you of riches. After all, I'm a prince. Hahaha!" Vector replied back, chuckling to himself, as he took off in a full sprint directly towards the stunned man in black.
Vector grinning Ear to Ear, as his will to fight increased even more, and his aura exploding. But rather than his Spacial mana, he fully tapped into his Void Ice, and it's immediately response was eagerness.
Eagerness to devour all.
And devoured it did…
As Vector ran straight at his now shocked opponent, who quickly got into a defensive stance, while slipping into a shadow, reappearing 30 feet back, as the assassin saw a scene that opened his eyes in shock and fear.
The spot where he was last at, where the young man was now standing, was completely, and utter frozen.
Not your average Ice, no this Ice wasn't even blue anymore….
Not a single blade of glass stood unfrozen, for at least 10 feet out in each direction of the young man. All the while, the Ice was no longer blue, but held a grayish blue tint, with blackish and whiteish veins pulsing throughout.
Appearing as as the Ice itself would explode any minute now, as the power compacted into it, was almost too much for it to hold. And as the Young man moved, the Ice did as well, almost as he had a Mana Zone…
'F#ck!!' Who is this a kid?!!! A mana zone already? At Level 50 or so?!!!!! WHAT THE F#ck!!!' screamed the assassin inside his head, as he backed up even more, trying to find an opening, when all of a sudden the young man's aura vanished, alongside him.
The assassin feeling a slight movement in the shadows behind him, turned as fast he could, just to find the young man simply standing there with a grin on his face, and his arms crossed.
Currently looking like he was bored, as he inspected his nails, waiting for the man to realize.
"Better than others, but still not good enough. You were 2 seconds late, in those 2 seconds I could've ended your life, in ehhh… 35 different ways give or take. I'll give you a hint since I need the practice and well, an actual challenge… so listen up, I'm fast, unnaturally fast. Faster than even your shadows, as my element completely topples your mere Dark Element. Keep up, my little assassin." Vector said, in a mocking, but explanatory way.
The assassin went on full alert at this point, as he conjured more dark mana into his hand, ready to send a shadow strike, when suddenly he needed to move … again.
* SWOOSH *
Just in a nick of time, as the assassin shadowported 12 feet away, from where he last stood, where once again, the boy was smirking and standing.
"Your fast… not the wind element, who are you? What Magic is this?" asked the man in black, who was genuinely shocked, and now frightened.
"Simple, something better than yours… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!" Vector laughed back, before dashing towards his opponent normally this time, ready to exchange blows.
As Vector flung his right hand in a forward wave, various weapons made out of ice started to fire away at his opponent, in a rapid fashion.
Vector could only smirk, as this move was inspired by Gilgamesh, in the fate anime series, which he loved back on Earth. But this move seemed to prove quite efficient in something even greater than pure damage.
Crowd control, alongside of making your opponent think, as the man in black had to dodge, weave, deflect, and conjure a few shadow shields. Just to stop the oncoming onslaught of weapons, that could be, almost never ending, if Vector chose so.
All the while, Vector just stood there, watching as the assassin pulled out some nearly impossible moves.

The assassin, having enough of this, shadowported back, while saying two words that would change the pace of the fight, and consequently… make Vector's blood boil even more, as his fighting thrill would quickly ramp up.
"SHADOW MONARCH!" screamed the man in black.
As the words left the mouth of the assassin, shadows all around him started to swirl one by one on the man's body. Fusing together first as a cloak of sorts, while two dark swords appeared in both of his hands.
Which was then followed by two extra arms made out of dark mana, which sprouted out of his sides, as those too, held swords.
"That's more like it" said Vector, who was now thoroughly eager to fight.
The assassin wasting no time, rushed forward. 4 swords in each hand, as he swiped in a vertical and horizontal wave, sending out 4 consecutive shadow slashes through the air.
These shadows slashes appearing as giant waves, gliding through the air, in the shape of darkened boomerangs. Which, Vector responded back by simply flicking his middle finger, sending out a disruption wave, that easily eroded and dispersed the shadow mana.
The disruption wave appearing as sonic wave of sorts, as the area it effected, was literally distorting, appearing almost as a broken screen of a piece of technology.

The assassin seeing this scene, grew even more angry, as the kid in front of him, seemed to be having fun, generally enjoying the situation, without a worry in the world.
Which was true in some sense, but he didn't know Vector at all…
Vector would've acted like this, even if he was on death's door. He referred to himself as a battle manic for reason, and that reason was about to F#cking show.
Vector said one word which immediately countered the other upcoming shadow strikes sent by the man in black, and flipped the tables once more to Vector's side.
"DEVOUR!"
As the words echoed through the now silent night, all shadows in the proximity of Vector's Ice, was instantly devoured.
Nothing remaining behind, in any form, and without any hesitation. Like cutting butter with a katana, the man's shadows had no resistance towards Vector's Void Ice, as it simply overpowered the dark mana.
Almost as if it was an ant, and Vector's Void Ice, was the hulk…. on steroids…. and these steroids, the ones that captain america took..
- - -
'GONE?!! WHAT?!' panicked the assassin, who was freaking out inside his own head.
Vector seeing his experiment work, smiled in approval, as he commended his Ice, in a loving and respectable way.
Deciding to have the rest of this fight, in a completely different sense, one that would be way more interesting. Vector willed his Ice back inside him, looked towards his opponent, and said,
"I won't use the element you can't beat now, come, show me if your worth the trouble, my little assasssin."
Vector having said these words, compacted his "Ice - Overlord" armor even more, filling his body to the brim with power, while willing a blade and shield to appear in both of his hands.
The blade, was the the style of a huge, thick katana, while the shield was a classic circular, medieval fantasy type shield.
Rushing head first, Vector and the assassin met blows with blows. Shadow vs Ice, constantly clashing, as the shadow tried seeping in, while the Ice slowly devoured the shadows.
In the interim, the two figures kept dukeing it out, as the assassin constantly tried to strike with precision and elegance, while Vector who never had any real training past age 8, simply struck with as much force as he could muster, each time.
* CLANK *
* BANG *
* SPLAT *
* BOOM *
* CLING *
* TINGGGGG *
* CLANG *
* BAM *
* SPLAT *
The assassin seeing his progress getting no where, reluctantly utilized one of his trump cards, that he wanted to hold onto as long as possible, but seeing as the fight was not going to either side, he needed to get the jump on his opponent.
The assassin quickly dashed back, while whispering,
"Shadow Control. 20 Impending Figures of Death."
The man in black, upon saying so, and activating his spell. Instantly disappeared from in front of Vector, appearing as a shadow withering away.
Which, he then reappeared not a second later, as 20 figures, swarming Vector from all sides, coming straight from the night sky, appearing as 20 shadowy figures, straight from hell itself. Each figure blending into the night sky, with various shadowy arms holding a weapon, all ready to give someone an impending death.
The assassin expecting the kid to fall to this, as it was simply too many opponents at once, and even if he activated his mana zone, it would be too late beca-
* BLINK * * BLINK * * BLINK * * BLINK *
"That was a fine spell you have. It would've killed most people on spot there, damaged at least a level 100 or so as well. You truly are good, especially dangerous at night, a fine investment on my part. You will be a fine addition for sure. Unfortunately for you, I'm someone you can't handle. You made me resort to my primary element as well. Good, very good, now, for the final test my little assassin" mocked Vector, who could be seen in the dim lighting, provided by the pale moonlight, showing off his handsome features.
Vector willing his eye to unseal, the ice slowly melting, seeping into his very own skin, as he felt refreshed, finally opening his eye for the first time in what felt like forever.
The assassin witnessing this scene carefully, felt a great sense of impending danger from that eye, even more so than the grandmaster night walkers of the organization…
'He's much more dangerous, what the f#ck is that?!!' thought the assassin, who then saw Vector's eye open, which would forever be imprinted in his memory, as the most dazzling and beautiful sight he has ever seen.
The man's eye appeared as the sky above, but with more planets, constellations, and stars twinkling about. It was simply … a perfect night sky.
The only way the man could describe it, was almost as having an entire galaxy in one eye, the embodiment of pure danger, elegance, and beauty, which people seek when staring above.
"Yes, I've given you time to be memorized, as I too couldn't help but first be. However, this would've also meant your death, again. Prepare yourself assassin. You must stay alert, for my speed can now match even Demi - God levels." Vector said, with pride, and without arrogance. His body language indicating no worry, nor bluffs.
The man hearing this felt as if it was the truth, but his thinking said otherwise, as how could a mere level 50 be that fas-
* BLINK *
* BOOM *
The assassin was sent flying. Not even being able to process the speed at which Vector could currently move at.
* BLINK *
See, Vector could possibly do this without his Spacial eye open, by willing his Blink to take him straight in front of the man. However, with his eye open… he didn't just go directly in front of the assassin.
No, Vector actually teleported 4 times in the span of one normal Blink! He teleported on each side of the assassin, before going directly front, and slamming his fist into the man's Face.
All to test the maximum speed, of his Spacial Eye, which was only a little over, from halfway from fully being unlocked (53%) …
Vector himself was astonished at just how powerful his eye was becoming. With each 1% unlocked, a significant change was being made, in speed and control.
However, he felt a significant drain of mana as soon as opened it, and so he had to end it … now.
* BLINK *
* BANG *
The man in black, who just got up, looking around in a daze, was sent flying again.
* BLINK *
* POW * , * BOOM * , * BANG * , * BAM *
The man's ribs were completely cracked in less than 2 seconds, as Vector landed 4 powerful hits, all in the span of one normal Blink time.
* BLINK *
* CRACKKKKK *
* BLINK *
The assassin, who was renowned across the FAE continent, and even the shadow organization, known as the "Reaper". Was currently lying flat on his back, with a Cold Boot pressed down upon his neck.
The assassin was in a complete daze. His mind not being able to process the speed and power, of this mere level 50.
While his entire self was filled with excruciating pain, which could be felt, throughout every inch of his now feeble body.
The man in black, worked up as much strength as he could muster, to will his eyes open, as he saw a scene that would forever haunt him.
The Young man, who held a boot to his neck, was staring down at him, with a huge lunatic - like smile, as his eyes twinkled like he found a treasure.
'Treasure? I have nothing of importance … expect my own mana core… damn, my death really is now. My goals … all for naught. Oh well, I guess it's my time to die. God help all who oppose this man, the power he has, is one thing, but it's not that which will take him far. He's completely insane, like those warriors of the past, in the folk tales, the ones who would do anything to win…' thought the assassin in black, as his mind went fully blank, with the last scene he saw, was the young man swinging a small
needle of Ice, coming directly at his forehead….
* SPLAT *
However little did he know, maybe death would've been the better option, as he was now Vector's, and Vector would soon come to exploit this man's talents.
Which would soon throw the whole entire FAE continent into chaos. However, as they say, chaos brings opportunities. Oh yes, Vector's long time scheming would soon come to pass. Very Soon… very soon.. yes very soon, indeed.
- - -
'That was .. exhausting and exhilarating.' Vector thought amusingly to himself, as he stood over the now defeated assassin.
Vector inspecting the thin Ice needle, currently in the man's head, commanded his Ice to devour and neutralize the explosive mana, which was implanted in the man's head.
'Hmmm, now that that's done. He's free… nope, well he's mine now. I think I went a little too far, he doesn't look so good, his healing is barley working. Damn, I don't have a healing spell, nor means. I could buy those mediocre potions. Ehhh, where's the closest healer. Hmmm, I'll walk around, and store him in my Inner Spacial World for now.' thought Vector, as he stored the man inside, before walking into the heart of the busy city.

AN : This chapter was going to be longer, including Vector's stroll into the city, but decided to make that a whole new chapter, which will be posted today as well, as it will include R18 scenes… I mean what do you expect? Vector was a slave for 3 years … and he to is a man, with certain needs.
