"What you found it?", I said in a gibberish tone as I was just sleeping.
As I properly woke up, I saw she was now wearing her previous clothes and had a magic formation scanning the pieces of vase in her hands.
"Yeah, I found their location. Let' go", she said.
"Ok.", as we then exited the hotel and started to run towards the forest.
….
As we were running, I tried to ask her a question.
"So, how far is the place?", I asked.
"About a kilometer", she replied.
"Could you track the number of people present there?", I asked.
"Unfortunately, no. It was hard just to track the creator but his accomplices I couldn't", she said.
Now as we were running, I took the sword in my hand to make sure, I don't get ambushed suddenly.
"Are we there?", I asked as I felt an ominous aura suddenly surrounding us.
"Yeah, we are.", she said.
"Port, where are you? I know you are behind the one who killed out master? ", she screamed furiously.
Then suddenly I felt a sharp spear come at me, I immediately dodged it.
As I tried to see through the forest and activated [Cruel Eyesight], I saw orbs of light and thousand puppets surrounding us, on the trees, ground, etc.
"Jessica, we are surrounded.", I said to her.
"How are you Jessica?"
A man from the shadow now not even looking like a human.
"What the hell did you do to yourself?", she asked.
"Well, I just got a better body and better powers.", he said.
"Why did you kill master?", Jessica asked.
"Because he would have never gave me the secret to truly transfer a soul.", he said.
"Woah, woah, woah, time out. What is this soul transfer business?", I asked.
"Well, it is the only way you weak humans can gain immense strength against demons.", he replied.
"Looks, like a classic case of superiority complex.", I said.
"That technique will never work.", she said while nodding her head left and right.
"You are just like that old man. Lecturing me about how it will never work? I will prove you all wrong.", he said as the leaves and the flowers on the branches growing from him just turned red.
"He acts just like a child.", I said as I immediately saw the clay puppets ran towards me to attack.
I saw the puppets rush towards me and immediately used the new and improved version of [black desert] and immediately toss the purplish dagger towards them.
I then saw an orb and a purplish force grab them and made sure they couldn't move.Jessica immediately uses [Wismel's Blessing] and used the rose vines and swung at them and completely destroy them.
As some of the puppets who were not restricted by my [black desert] came at me.
One of them stabbed their blade towards me, I immediately used the flat side of the blade to block it. I saw two swordsmen trying to attack my back.
"Shit!?"
They immediately swung their sword at me; I closed the distance between the spearman and immediately used [White blade] and cut it in half. I saw the puppets close the distance and tried to attack me.
"Not so fast."
I then immediately used my sword and used the skill [rend] it tore them in four parts.
"Are they the same type of puppets?", I asked as I used [Dark Blade] to send out a wave of energy and destroyed tens of puppets.
"No, they are connected to port, we have to kill him first.", she said.
"Alright." As I immediately used [White blade] and used half of my reserve and swung and destroyed half of the puppets and immediately rushed towards him.
"Die.", I screamed and was about to stab him.
I suddenly felt my left side, my liver intestine explodes.
"Fuck!?"
I immediately used my fire burst and move from that direction.
"You. Who are you?", a man in a dark attire wearing an oni mask asked me.
He was carrying a spear with a white blade.
"Zephyr, are you alright?", Jessica asked.
"I thought I have killed Antonio now another one followed me. It must be a cruel play of fate that you have end up here rookie demon hunter.", he said with a devilish smile on his face.
"You bastard", I said and my mask reverted back to the helmet.
"Sir, at-last you are here. Sir, I am close to killing them and finishing the ritual.", Port said.
Before he could finish, Klen immediately stabbed him with his hand.
"Why? Sir.. You said", port said.
I was shocked as I saw him kill port.
"What the actual fuck?", I said.
"Poor Port you have done enough do you think that technique could revive people. Your foolish puppeteer.", he said as he took his heart out and started to drink his blood.
"Yes, yes, yes!", he screamed in joy.
"The despair, the grief , the look of his face, it fills my stomach.", he said as I saw all the clay soldiers lash on to him and make a knight armor.
"Now I am invincible.", he said.
"What the fuck is going on Jessica?", I asked.
"He has gone through a transformation.", she said.
"How did you kil him in your previous time?", I asked.
"I didn't goddess did", she said.
"Enough talking. Now the two of you show me the look of despair.",, he said as he started to run towards me.
As I was still stunned from that illusive strike, I couldn't dodge.
He stabbed the spear towards me and I immediately tried to stop it with the flat side of the blade.
"Zephyr no", she screamed as she directed her vines towards me and tried to make a defensive shield.
"You should think about yourself, first girl", he said as he immediately stopped in his tracks and rushed and spun his spear in order to hit her.
She immediately made a small pouch of vines to protect her from the spear but it hit her.
"Ahh!", she screamed in pain.
Before he could complete his full motion and finish her, I immediately used [Cruel eyesight] and threw a dagger and used [Dark desert] and immediately stopped his movement.
Seeing him slow down, Jessica immediately rushed back and made some distance.
"Why don't you use puppetry?", I asked.
"It's useless. Using these vines are more useful.", she said.
"Stop talking and more fighting.", he said.
This time, I didn't waste time. I immediately closed the gap between us.
He saw that and tried to stab and I used [Ghostly steps] and immediately dodged and jabbed my sword in his intestines.
"Fuck!", he screamed.
Jessica ran and used my shoulder and jump and gathered a lot of energies of the nearby trees and used [Vine Explosion], which exploded and destroyed a huge part of armor.
"I will kill you", he said with bloodthirst pouring from his eyes.
I immediately charged up the skills [White blade] slashed towards him and made a huge cut.
"Die you, you son of a bitch.", he screamed as he swung his spear around like a mad man.
"I think it's time to finish him off. What do you say?", I asked Jessica.
"Yeah, I think so too.", she replied.
She now used her vines to restrict his movement by entangling his hands and legs.
"You bitch.", he screamed.
I also used [Black desert], and sealed his movement.
"It's time for you to say goodbye, corrupted one.", I said a I pulled out the dagger from my chest and put all of my [dark reserve] into it. It immediately started to burn in a purplish hue.
Jessica also gathered all of the orbs of energy flowing in the nature and gathered it in her hand.
I then immediately used, [Thousand's dagger] and immediately thousand daggers appear in the air.
"I hope you may never find peace.", I said as I gathered the energy in the dagger.
The power flowing from it was now immense.
"I hope no poor soul should ever give birth to you, you monster.", Jessica said.
"Die"
"Die"
We both said and launched our attacks and caused a huge explosion in the forest.
"Huff! Huff!", I huffed for air as this was my first time using it.
