Kurogane looked at Hikari with confusion "Listen Kurogane am going to stand by you no matter what you goy that!". That is what Hikari said, as her gaze was still on Kurogane face never leaving her. Kurogane broke the look by a small laugh while moving close towards Hikari while his eyes are close, Kurogane lightly shoved Hikari with his shoulder as he was now standing next to her. Hikari face lightly turned red from embarrassment as she saw Kurogane laughing at what she just said. Hikari would have kicked Kurogane to the face as he was sent flying into the sky, while Hikari walked away while having a blush on her face.
The two continued to walk along the mist of tress, trying to find a place that's showed some human or other races that might have lived here. But to no vale the island was huge and there was no way the two of them would have travelled to the west of the island throw-out the days themselves have spent. Hikari and Kurogane travelled the lands reaching a part of the islands that's the tress was not as green or lively like the path they were used to. As they walked into the widow lands, Hikari grabbled a branch that was in her path of view just for the branch to immediately turned to ash right in her hands. Just then a shadow blur just passes her sight, she summoned her spear as her hand immediately grabbed Kurogane hand and pulling him towards her caching the young boy by surprise by the sudden grab.
"Hey what is your problem, you just almost remove my arm." As Kurogane said that a shadow blur just flow passed him. But Kurogane barely saw the shadow blur, as the thing was fast for his eyes to follow. Bring out his sword readying himself for combat that soon will come. Feeling a cold chill from there back, Kurogane and Hikari leaped side way into the air just right after a shadow monster that had 4 glowing green eyes in the central, while the monster had monsters black scaley arms and sharped claws that was 7 inch long while its tale was swing in the air. "Shit it's a Dusk reaper,Kurogane don't get to clos-!". But before she could finish the shadow appeared right before Kurgane eyes, bring down it's claws towards Kurogane. Kurogane used his sword to blocked the attack that was coming down below on to him, as he was trying to push forwards to gain some ground. He heard a small cracking that was coming from his sword, as he looked to see the middle of his sword about to break. The Dusk reaper pulled away which took Kurogane a bit of confusion right before the reaper lunge forwards, breaking the young black hair sword in half. The attacked didn't stop but grabbing his arm and throwing him into the widow forest breaking Kurogane arm as he flow into tress after tress until he stopped momentarily into a branch bush.
Kurogane tries to get up but fell into the dead bush once again. Hikari tried to rush to aid Kurogane, but her path was cut when the same reaper attacked the raven black hair boy tried to use its claws side way to rip Hikari chest, but missed as Hikari moved a few feet backward with her spare pointed at the monster. In a burst of speed, the shadow rush at Hikari going for the attack again, using its feet to do a spinning kick to remove Hikari head. But Hikari would have used her blue and silver spear to parry attack after attack from the Shadow Reaper unpredictable move. Hikari moved back from the Reaper attacked, while she was breaking lightly. She attacked the monster with repeated heavy forwards attack one after another, as Hikari heavy forwards attacked piers the shadow reaper all over its body while getting push back. In a hasty hurry the shadow reaper moved 4 feet backwards and jumped into the air, trying to fly into the forest and escaped from Hikari crazy ontro attacks that it has been receiving.
But before the shadow could get any further, Hikari appeared beside the creature as her facial expression showed that's of confides and excitement ready to put an end to this fight. Using her spear in one hand, she plunge her spear into the shadow chest at full force while shouting. "RIPPLE IMPACED, TRIDENT TYPHOON!". Right after the spear started taking form that of a trident while in the shadow chest, the shadow let a powerful scream it was feeling the spear change form in its body. The Trident started to spin at fast speed, while ripping up the inside chest of the shadow like a drill.
In a bust of power, the trident ran all the way through the reaper chest as a tower of water surrounded the trident like a whirlpool. The shadow fell on the ground holding its bleeding chest as blood came out of the large hole that's Hikari made with her trident. She picked up her trident that was piercing the ground, she brought it to the side of her waist while slowly flying up 2 feet from the ground, Hikari looked at the dying shadow reaper in the air pointing her right index finger at the creature ready to kill it. Right before she could shoot it, another shadow reaper appeared right behind Hikari. She turned around at the last moment just to see the reaper having its claw in front of her face, about to remove her head clean off her body. But out of nowhere Kurogane was surrounded by a white mist aura, his eyes a golden colour with his hair sticking up in the air, came and kicked the shadow arm that was about to remove Kiari head, clean off.
Kurogane landed on the ground and proceeded to kick the creature again, but this time up into the air. "This whole time, you guys thought you could kill me that easy. Well, I got something to say to that. TOO HELL WITH YOU AND ALL OF YOU'RE GANG OF FRIENDS!". He proceeds to jump into the air until he was in close prosperity while his body aura was giving off a scary white tinted blue colour. "Sacred Twilight art. HYPER TWIN DANCE!". Kurogane did a round house kick to the creature neck, right before he spawns his body once again and using his other foot to bring down his foot to its head. Kurogane throw flurry of kicks right after another. Kurogane grabbed the head of the 4 eyes shadow and crashed it to the ground leaving a deep crater in the ground, still holding it. The monster head was busted opened while blood was all over Kurogane front body. Hikari saw all what just happened and was shocked at what she just seen.
But she got distracted, as the shadow reaper used this as a chance of escaped. Hikari tured around and fired her attack at it, but it invaded her attacked by just a graze. Escaping into the widow forest. Hikari sighed with her head down looked up to meet Kurogane walking towards her holding his broken arm that the shadow reaper gave to him, while the scary white mist aura went away. "Hey, are you alright, that thing didn't harm you like it did to me right". Kurogane asked looking at the blue hair girl who was dusting off her clothes that was coved in mud and dust. Once she was finished, she walked towards his broken arm and place a hand over it. "OWW! SHIT THAT'S KINDA HURTING ME CAN YOU PLEASE STOP!". Her hand never left his arm, as it stayed there for a few more seconds while Kurogane telling her to remove her hand of him. "This may hurt for a second, just bear with me." Hikari said to Kurogane ears which made him look up at her. "What do you mean by tha- AHAHAH!" Kurogane screamed so loud, that the whole forest to shake a little as he felt Hikari pop his shoulder back into place. After a 1 hour of rest next to a river, Hikari watch as Kurogane was pouring water on his once broken arm now all healed up just like not has ever happened.
"Hey Kuro, I need to ask you something. Something that you may know or not." As Hikari said that Kurogane faced towards her direction to see her facing him with a face he had not seen her made. Her facial expression showed that of confusion and worrier, it was the first time she has ever made that look to him. He decided to respond back to her. "Look Hikari, you're worried about me getting into dangers fights like the last one we fought. But I promise you that I will say alive, so don't worry about me to munch." After saying that, Hikari blue aura started to flare up. Right after the river that they were next to started to rise upwards into a water pillar toward, right after the large pillar of water shot all over Kurogane washing him about 10 feet away from where Hikari was sitting.
Soon after Kurogane started coughing on the ground, almost getting drowned in water. He looked at her and yelled what was that for while rising his finger pointed at her. Hikari walked towards Kurogane and put both hand on his shoulders, that took Kurogane by surprise not knowing she was going to approach him in that kind of way. "I need to know Kurogane, were you able to fight high low-class monster and being able to use Sacred art as well." Kurogane looked at her and shocked his head sideways, saying no. "if am being honest, it only been a few months since I awaken my powers and starting my training on becoming a knight maybe even more than just that." He said this with his face looking away from hers, as she places her hand on his lower face and forced it to meet hers. "Kuro I need to tell you that what you just did in the last battle should not be possible for any kid of your age. First off you killed a high low-class monster which is impossible even for a hunter who had been hunting monster for five years. Next one is you using Sacred art. Sacred art is something that not a lot of people could do, if you're skills were that of royale class, that would make sense. For a normal person, it would probole take them 30 to 40 years even learning half of the art."
Kurogane would have been listening to Hikari. But could help but tilth his head to the side being confuse. "Royale class, 30 to 40 years. Sorry Hikari, I'm not following you at all." Hikari would have looked at Kurogane in surprise, surprise of him not knowing the classes of power. She sighed in annoyance knowing how clueless Kurogane is. "I will tell you the classes of power later, right now we need to continue. But I don't think you would be walking for a while now." Looking up to face Hikari and with one eyebrow raised up, he asked her "what do you mean by I won't be walking for a while?".
Hikari walked up to him and place one hand on his chest, and right after a shocking pain all throughout his body, his veins was showing from his arms throughout his neck while Kurogane was grabbing his chest on the ground. His vision started to get hazy while trying to look up at the 3 Hikari, that was walking towards him with her hands reaching out to him. Right after that Kurogane would have feel into deep darkness.
-UNKOWN PARTS OF THE FOREST-
A montures groan could been heard behind some bushes and trees, blood stain coved the parts of the trees, bushed, flowers even the ground. The reaper that escaped was groaning while munching on something, as blood and flesh came out of the reaper mouth it's face lifted-up, showing its glowing purple eyes as black lightning could have been seen surrounding the monster while the life around of the monster started to get absorbed into its body. The creature let out a loud cry into the dark part of the forest, as birds started to fly away. But won't get far as the birds started to get pulled inwards towards the creature. Turning the birds into particles of red aura the creature absorbed the power into its body before it started taking shape into something strange.
