Amanda and Leo
last update2022-03-07 22:06:24

Meanwhile In The Battle Against Raven...

A loud explosion like that of a sonic boom echoed within the distance. Amanda and Leo were becoming fearful. The loud explosion had come from where their fellow assassins were fighting the other commander, Waver.

Unfortunately, they had no time to worry about the others. They too were dealing with a powerful commander which they were severely struggling against. 

Leo and Amanda were filled with cuts and bruises. Raven, the commander that they were fighting was painfully swift. To make things worse, his weapons were a pair of jagged chains which he knew how to use quite well. The chains were quick and rarely missed their target. It was evident that he had mastery over them.

"We can't lay a finger on this guy! His Arts are so annoying!" Complained Leo.

Amanda breathed heavily. She could hardly find the energy needed to respond to Leo's complaints. The battle was much harder than she could have ever anticipated.

"This guy's strength isn't the main issue..." She started. "In truth, I doubt he's all that much stronger than you, Leo. It's his Art Styles that make him so damned hard to fight! If only we had someone who could counter his Art Styles with their speed, we could easily gain the advantage!"

Raven's Arts were Vector Art and Teleportation Art. His Vector Art allowed him to make any object he touched move in the direction he wanted it to. However, he could only control two objects at a time.

On the other hand, his Teleportation Art allowed him to teleport to any area of his choosing. The only drawback was that the larger the distance, the more Spirit Energy it would require for him to teleport.

With a devious grin, Raven launched his chains towards Amanda at an incredible speed. However, she quickly moved out of the way, barely managing to dodge the attack, or so she thought.

"Vector Art: Rebound!"

Utilizing his Art Style, Raven redirected his chains towards Amanda, resulting in it piercing her leg.

Amanda screamed in agony as she fell to the ground, moaning in pain. The blood from her leg painted the grass beneath her red. Unfortunately, the chain had not only pierced her leg but was now wrapped directly around the bone.

"Amanda!!" Screamed Leo in apprehension.

"Damn it!! Flower Art: Vine Prison!" Quickly invoked Amanda.

Within her agony, Amanda utilized her second Art Style to summon a rectangular prison of vines to keep herself temporarily secure from Raven. However, It was still not enough. 

Instead of attacking again, Raven sadistically began pulling on the chain, further ripping her leg open. Amanda's face wrinkled with distress. Tears crept into her eyes and her voice became brittle as she pounded the ground with her fists. The pain was far too much to bear.

Leo knew that he had to help her. He didn't have a plan but the longer he waited, the more blood Amanda would lose. He had to act quickly. 

Swiftly, he went in for an aerial attack, swinging his staff towards Raven's head. Sadly, it was to no avail as Raven was far too agile.

"Teleportation Art: Shadow Transport!"

Effortlessly, Raven utilized his Teleportation Art to transfer himself behind Leo. Following this, he violently latched the other end of the jagged chain around Leo's neck as he began to strangle him. Regrettably, this brought Amanda even more pain as Leo pulled against the chain in hopes of freeing himself.

 As if Raven wasn't satisfied, he then kicked Leo into the ground almost snapping his neck in the process. Leo desperately gasped for air. The force added to the chain that was latched around his neck almost snapped his windpipe. He was quickly losing consciousness and there was nothing he could do.

Raven smiled malevolently. The commander was having the time of his life watching the two assassins wreath in pain.

 "You're both my dogs!" He laughed as he tugged on the chains. "If you beg for your lives and bark like dogs then maybe I'll let you live!"

The situation was extremely dire on both battlefields. On one hand, it was unknown if Andrew was even still alive. On the other, both Leo and Amanda were growing closer to death with each passing second. 

The assassins were all powerless against the commanders. All their efforts had been in vain. Death was slowly approaching them.

Latest Chapter

  • The Journey Begins

    Nathan, Ava, and Evan felt a rush of nostalgia. The memories they created in Youkatai Mountain would stick with them no matter where they went. It was now time for them to venture into a new chapter of their lives. Ava and Evan wished to see the world for themselves and Nathan was adamant about defeating the Cliques.They were now set to leave the village. They were all carrying heavy bags that had food, water, weapons, and other necessities needed for their journey.Rikugan smiled before wrapping his arms around them for a warm hug."Remember you three, you're always welcomed here no matter where your journey takes you. I am proud to have you as my students and grandchildren!""Thank you, grandpa..! I'm going to miss you so much!" Sobbed Ava."Take care of yourself, gramps! We'll come back when we're finished helping Nathan! Until then, please be well!" Added Evan tearily."I will. Now, please behave yourselves while traveling with Nathan. On your journey, you'll come to see many thi

  • Rikugan's Decision

    Nathan felt like the world had stopped moving. His heart thumped against his chest and his breathing became heavy. His eyes became as cold as ice and the air around him became filled with blood lust. He was fueled with rage. He couldn't accept that Sindy and Andrew had been killed."What did you just say..?" He asked in an unsettling voice, looking at Illumi.Illumi began to chuckle like a child, refusing to answer. Due to this, Nathan charged toward the commander burning with rage. However, Rikugan grabbed onto his arm, stopping him from going any further."Nathan, control yourself!" Deterred Rikugan. "There's no guarantee your friends are dead! He could just be provoking you!"Ava and Evan also rushed to Nathan's side, trying their best to calm him down."Dude, calm down..! Gramps could be right! They might just be provoking you to get you to come over to them so that they can grab you and run!" Soothed Evan."Evan's right! Besides, you're in no condition to take on two commanders

  • Heartfelt News

    Nathan..!" Squealed Ava in shock.Rocca and Illumi were also stunned. Nathan, the Mind Hero, who they believed to be dead was now standing before them. They were sure that he had been killed in the explosion back in Conscience City over a year ago. It made no sense why he was still alive."You..! This isn't possible... You're the Mind Hero, aren't you..? How are you alive..?" Asked Rocca in shock.Nathan didn't give an immediate response. In truth, he had recognized Rocca as well. He was the commander that Rick had fought back in Conscience City over a year ago. If his memory served correctly, Rick had called him The Man Of Steel, Rocca, also known as the most powerful Clique commander."I'm no hero. My name's simply Nathan and I have no interest in telling you how I'm alive."Rocca laughed, "This is great!! There was an order to capture you and that #4 assassin, Isabella! So when we heard you had died, we were quite disappointed!"Nathan ignored Rocca's statement. He was much more co

  • Defiance

    The fight had begun. Tension was now in the air and adrenaline began to pump. Rikugan lunged at the commanders with his hands shrouded in dark Spirit Energy.Swiftly, he snuck below Illumi's guard and slammed his fist into his stomach. Illumi's mouth widened as the air was squeezed from his lungs. He staggered backward, struggling to regain his balance.However, Rocca was not about to let his partner be defeated so easily. He swung his massive axes at Rikugan, quickly activating an Art Style."Steel Art: Metallic Cut!"Rocca's axes shone brightly as they approached Rikugan. Rikugan had to defend himself. Metallic Cut was an Art Style that sharpened weapons to the point where they could cut even titanium like butter.Nonetheless, Rikugan was prepared. Quickly, he activated a Zen Barrier that barely managed to block Rocca's attack. Fortunately, this had created an opportunity for him to counter."Destruction Art: Destructive Touch!"Rikugan didn't have much Spirit Energy at his disposal

  • Tribute To The Past

    After leaving Nathan behind, Rikugan arrived at the part of the village that was being attacked. The area was ravaged and left in a deplorable state. Houses, shops, and other buildings were now piles of wood scattered across the streets. Flames flickered and smoke danced its way up into the air. However, the fighting had already seemed to stop. The only thing in sight was destruction and bodies of the injured and the dead. This was strange to Rikugan given that he could still sense the Spirit Energies of those who had attacked the village."Grandpa!" Shouted Evan who had finally arrived with Ava. "Why are you just standing around?! Some of the villages are still alive! We need to help them!""Wait, both of you! Don't move!" Warned Rikugan."Huh..? Is something wrong?" Inquired Ava.Rikugan didn't answer. Instead, he peered his eyes before him as if someone was there."I won't fall for such a cheap trick! I know you're there! Save me the trouble and show yourselves!" Shouted Rikugan.

  • Cliques Invasion

    Nathan was exhausted. He had exerted almost every drop of Spirit Energy he had to defeat Death. The only good side to his fatigue was that his real body had no physical injuries. Since it was his Spirit Energy that had been fighting Death, his injuries had not been transferred over physically."Nathy!" Squealed Ava as she wrapped her arms around him. She was filled with joy to see that he had made it back alive."Hey," he replied tiredly. "I told you I'd be okay... I kept my word..!"Evan and Rikugan were also thrilled to see him. Truthfully, they had feared that he wouldn't be able to defeat Death. They were happy this was not the case."Are you feeling okay?" Asked Evan curiously."I'm mostly okay but I'm extremely tired... I feel like I could collapse at any moment...""Well, that's better than being back in Tartarus.""I agree..!" Sighed Nathan"And the seal?" Interjected Rikugan.Nathan then showed his katana to Rikugan, revealing the imprint of Death's name on the side."Wow! Do
