"Huh?" Sensing danger, the assassin turned around as the multiple bolts of lightning hit him straight in his face. His face converted in pain while his figure trembled from the shock.

Suddenly, his figure flickered and disappeared. Leaving behind a cloud of smoke as he appeared a few meters away.

"It's not a good thing to attack from behind. Well, I forgive you for that but as a punishment, let's have a head on battle," The assassin mocked. He spoke as if he was a senior reprimanding a junior.

"I like your attitude. So let's have some fun," Ray grinned. He cracked his hands and landed on the ground gracefully. His expression was calm and serene and it seemed that rather than heading into a battle, he was going for an evening walk.

"Arrogant bastard," Seeing his expression and attitude, the assassin harrumphed. He decided to show Ray real power. His body darkened slightly and merged further into the darkness around him.

The daggers in his hands blended with the darkness and elongated further into two short swords.

Seeing that, Ray grinned. "Well, I haven't fought a dark element user up till now. It will be an exciting fight," Right after he spoke, he disappeared.

The space around him fluctuated slightly as he blinked right in front of the assassin. A spear had appeared in his hand as he stabbed it into the assassin.

"Change!!!" The spear collided with the short swords as the assassin blocked the attack.

"Hehe," Ray chuckled as his spear disappeared. The space fluctuated yet again as the spear appeared above the assassin's head.

"Poof," Much to Ray's surprise, instead of the brain matter and blood, all he saw was a thick cloud of smoke as the assassin had exploded into smoke.

"Hmmm…. Interesting," Thought Ray as he blinked once again. He was very wary of the assassin and therefore blinked right away as who knew when and where the assassin would attack from.

And just as expected, right after Ray blinked. Two arcs lit up as the assassin slashed his swords where Ray previously was.

Meanwhile,

In the rubble not far from the battlefield. A furry hand popped out from the rubble. The claws gleamed a dark light while the fur was stained with blood.

It was Sirius, he hadn't died yet and was still alive. The rubble moved as Sirius slowly stood out from it. Sirius's whole body was covered in blood while his chest was slightly caved in as well. He had suffered quite some injuries from the explosion but his expression differed from his condition.

On his face was a maniacal smile that told everyone that he wasn't done yet. He still had a lot of fight left.

"Awoooooo!!" A loud howl reverberated through the battlefield as Sirius announced his return. His arms thickened as the claws turned even darker.

Sirius had decided to activate his full power as it allowed him to temporarily reach the strength of an advanced-tier expert in the Magical Realm.

"Boooommm!" his feet exploded the rubble below him as he disappeared. Sirius had decided to focus on using his physical strength more than his magical abilities.

"What happened? What got you so late?" Appearing besides him, Sirius asked.

"Had someone to take care of," Answered reply, struggling his shoulders. He couldn't care less for anything else. He looked at the assassin in front of him and chuckled, 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

"Are you sure he isn't your relative? Like, both of you use dark powers and are quite resistant to getting killed,"

"We'll have to capture him first and then interrogate him," Replied Sirius.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's attack," Ray said and disappeared. His body changing throughout. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

His skin had turned thicker as shimmering scales appeared. The power of space and time flowed throughout his body as both of his eyes changed. One had archaic runes all over it as two needles appeared in it while the other eye had a small supernova revolving within it.

His skin had arcs running all over it as the lightning element made the air around him whizz and tremble. Not to mention the fiery heat that his body released dried the air if all the atmosphere.

The assassin suddenly frowned as he felt the atmosphere around him change. Right as Ray appeared in front of him, the air became drier while he felt slight numbness all over his skin.

The spear appeared again as Ray swept it down the assassin's feet. The blueish light shining over it was very strange.

Not knowing what the spear really was, the assassin decided to be wary of it. His legs turned to smoke as the spear passed through them.

As the spear passed, the space slightly cracked. Though it was barely noticeable, it occurred but the assassin didn't know of it.

The assassin smiled, the shadows flickered again as his legs started to change back but suddenly, he froze. The expression on his face turned grim and the assassin felt something wrong.

He couldn't change his feet back. His legs were frozen all of a sudden.

"Hehe," Ray chuckled mysteriously. Winking at the assassin, Ray's body blurred. The speared appeared in his hand as he stabbed it at the assassin.

"Spurrtt," The assassin twisted his body at a strange angle but was still unable to avoid the spear. His shoulder was grazed as blood spurred out of it.

The assassin's expression finally turned grim. He had lost his calm. Although his legs were now back to normal, he wasn't good. He was injured before and now even more so. Even if he was a psuedo-calamity ranked expert, it didn't matter.

He wasn't a calamity ranked yet and his body took time to regenerate and the spatial disturbances caused by Ray's previous attack had affected the assassin's mobility.

"pooofff," Sacrificing yet another one of his shadow clone. The assassin appeared in another place. His previous body turned into a cloud of smoke.

A light flashed in front of Ray's eyes as the assassin appeared above him. The assassin's two short swords gleamed dangerously as Ray tried to dodge the attack.

Suddenly, the short swords clicked. As if a bolt had been unscrewed, the swords extended suddenly and pierced through Ray's shoulder.

"Hrgghhh," Ray grunted in pain. Knowing that it wasn't any use if he retreated, Ray made up his mind and made an unexpected move.

He stepped forward and let the sword dig further in his shoulder. The Void Gauntlet shimmered slightly as a dark greenish hue appeared on it.

Ever since he evolved and got better control over his powers, the color of his time element had changed. From the previous shimmering purple, it had turned a darkish-green.

Ray didn't know what it meant and didn't care either. His power had increased and it was all that mattered to him. Clenching his hand into a fist, Ray punched the assassin right at his chest.

As for the assassin, he found it quite hard to process. After all, Ray had decided to attack and taken more damage voluntarily, all just to land a fist on the assassin.

Well, the assassin didn't know yet. The power of time flowed through the punch and into his body as Ray controlled the time and slowed it down.

The assassin turned sluggish. His speed decreased as his thinking was affected as well.

Seeing this, Ray grinned and spoke, "Well, I won't be the one to kill you. It will be him, I was there to hold you down long enough," He blinked as the shadows surged.

Two claws appeared in front of the assassin as Sirius appeared right in front of the assassin and slashed but Sirius didn't stop. His claws extended further as he plunged them right into the assassin's chest.

"Arghhhhh," The skin was pierced as the claws penetrated deeper and deeper into his chest until they reached the ribs.

All this while, Sirius had the same maniacal smile on his face as he enjoyed torturing the assassin.

"How do you like it now?" Asked Sirius in anger. He still remembered the festering wound on Emma's chest and that blazed his anger even more.

Sirius wanted to kill the assassin right away but he knew that it wasn't the time yet. They still had to interrogate the assassin.

"Zhwwooomm," His claws slashed again. Cutting through the assassin's limbs, Sirius cut down the assassin's tendon. Suddenly, the assassin wasn't able to move as he lost the control over his limbs.

The assassin's expression turned grim. He knew that he had been caught and also knew that he had to either escape or die and with escaping being impossible, the assassin chose to die.

His mouth opened as the assassin tried to bite down on his tongue. Well, he would have been able to if not for Ray's power. The temporal attack had slowed him down and this caused the assassin unable to kill himself in time as Sirius suddenly punched him right in the face.

With his vision turning darker, the assassin lost his consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Finally, he is down," Sirius sighed and cancelled his transformation.

"Blerggghhh," Right after his transformation ended, he fell to his knees and vomited blood.

"You fool," Ray said and face palmed himself. Knowing how Sirius was, Ray was certain that Sirius had decided to burn down his bloodline in exchange for power. Although it wasn't permanent, after the effect ended, it would injure the person quite a lot.

Ray walked to Sirius and put him on his shoulder. Then, walking to the assassin, he raised his feet and stomped on his face. Breaking down a few more teeth, he made sure that the assassin was out before grabbing his hand and dragging him back.
