"You sure your brother's in there?"Ace and Rohan were currently staking an abandoned mansion in a darkling forest not far from Lily town.Rohan had spent an entire day unconscious, after he woke up, Ace narrated how his battle with Rada Khan went and how a mysterious person with a scythe came to the scene and picked him up."If they're using a scythe, it's definitely that witch." That was what Rohan said as he clenched his fists and slammed them on the desk."Luckily their hideout is not far from here and I know where it is.""Good, I'll help you find your brother, and then you will join my clan."Ace said cheerfully with sparkles in his eyes.He wanted Rohan to join Aegis because he was astonished by the swordsman's skills from earlier.'Had I not taken power from Malacoda, I would've lost.'That was the case.Similar to how he gave up a year of his life to defeat Rada Khan when he exhausted his powers, Ace made a deal again but this time around he wagered 3 months.It was one of th

Clank!Sparks flew as the hard metallic boots clashed with the sword made from an unbreakable substance.Reginald was breathing excessively as he gazes upon his opponent who was also trying to catch his breath.They have been attacking and canceling each other's attack for ten minutes now with neither side taking any hit.Neither has taken damage but they were both exhausted.For one, both of them couldn't use aura techniques which can only be used by individuals with massive ain reserves.They focused on using doping to boost their physical abilities past the human limit thus putting a lot of strain on their bodies.What's more, the two were both overlapping their doping with the power of their relics.The boots of Hermes which grant near-lightspeed powers and the Hat of Lupin, which copies the abilities of relics which in this case, was copying the powers of the boots. Transforming into an identical pair of boots.'The effect of combining two speed buffs is amazing. Demon spawn kept

Swoosh!Clank!Swoosh!Having completely shattered all the furniture and items in the room they were in, Reginald and Chase both stopped on their tracks and faced each other.The two were both battered and tired as they were breathing heavily too."Huff. Huff. Had enough?" Reginal said with a corky attitude."Hahahaha. I am just getting started." Chase disappears as he finished and starts blitzing around the room at light speed.'Tsk, I have less than five minutes to end this or my snatch steal's duration will end.'His opponent had a similar thought as he had also burned a lot of stamina and was planning on ending the fight as well.Reginald sounded confident earlier whereas in reality, he was worried that soon enough his relic' s ability will end and enter a cooldown period thus he won't be able to keep up.'Here I come.'He holds his sword with both hands and took a stance as he closes his eyes.After duking it out for so long against the speedster, Reginald had finally figured out

The blackness was perfect, a sort of visual silence that could send chills through anyone's spine.The two captains were squaring off in the void dark room.Ace, being able to use seismic sense was freely maneuvering through the darkened room.Rhea on the other hand was barely able to block some of Ace's attacks.It was truly a one-sided battle.The room was completely pitch-black and she was being forced to heighten all of her other senses in order to keep up with Ace.Black zone was one of the techniques that Ace used proficiently as an assassin.The fact that he was using a technique that he swore never to use again shows just how formidable Rhea was.At the start of their confrontation, Ace had taken considerable damage from Rhea's scythe which drains power from the victim's soul directly.It was a completely agonizing experience for Ace who was used to all sorts of pain.He experienced the same type of pain that he usually feels whenever he trades his life force to his relic for

"Ack! What are you doing!?"Ace who had arrived with Rhea at the nick of time grabbed the blade that was aiming for the captured General's chest.Before anybody could react to the sudden appearance of the ex-assassin, he sent Rohan flying with a punch."What in the world do you think you're doing!?""Tsk, it's none of your business." Rohan scoffs as he looks the other side not wanting to make eye contact with Ace. "This is the only way for justice to prevail."He got back up and wipe Ace's blood that splattered all over his face from when he stopped the sword with his bare hands."Justice? You think killing him is justice?" Ace takes a few steps forward till he was standing face to face with Rohan."Rhea, what are you doing here? Did you bring the enemy here?""Jake, I know this may sound selfish, and I know how far you all went for me and I'm very grateful to you guys. But, let's forget the past and move on."Jake widened his eyes as he couldn't believe what he's heard. He can unders
