Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

- Soldiers of darkness, be present. -Sentinel said and ten warriors with armor and beast masks on their faces came out from the thick of the forest.

- I had heard that you had soldiers and slaves, but I never thought that such a powerful being would use those resources in a one-on-one battle. -Luzbell said.

- In addition to being a warrior, I am a strategist, I told you I was coming for your life, but I'm not going to give you mine. -Sentinel said.

At that point, Demian, who was watching, thought about intervening, but was stopped by Visac himself, who told him:

- Do not harm the entertainment, you have lived in peace here for a long time. In short, you know that if I had faced him that day I would have destroyed him, he is breathing too much. Let him show me that it was worth it. – Visac smiled.

Luzbell was prepared to fight, he invoked Lusant, with the following words "light that reaches the most hidden places, that purifies the dark, driving away the darkness, bring before me my majestic Lusant" a flash of lightning light fell right next to Luzbell, when the light dissipated the beautiful sword was observed, which was immediately wielded by him; On the other hand, Sentinel exclaimed the following: "Lady of darkness, who instills fear by extinguishing any light of hope, appear before me, Shadow of life", a crack opened in the ground from which a thick black mist emerged into which Sentinel inserted his hand holding a sword, which absorbed all the mist showing its appearance, its blade was completely black, but shiny, with a silver hilt.

Visac applauded and laughed.

- What's wrong with you Visac? -Demian asked.

- This seems like a show, let's see if the battle is as good as the prelude. -Visac answered while smiling, he was excited.

They stared at each other, none of them planned to attack first, Sentinel made a gesture with his gaze and the ten warriors went to attack; Luzbell's sword was shining more and more, Luzbell dodged the first warrior and cut him in two with a slash across the abdomen, he immediately blocked the second warrior's attack with his sword, and immediately jumped because the others were preparing to hurt him.

Luzbell did not want to let herself be surrounded, nor did she want to lose sight of Sentinel; Being at a safe distance Luzbell launched himself towards his adversaries, blocking their attacks, and mortally cutting those who did not have a good defense, four more soldiers fell, only five remained, but despite having blocked their attacks he did not emerge unscathed; Luzbell had a cut on his abdomen, he was surprised, since he did not know when it had happened.

What an interesting fight, that young man's skills are growing quickly, even so he has been injured, he has to be more cautious when defending himself and less conservative when attacking, if he wants to survive, since those ten warriors do not represent even the slightest strength and skill of Sentinel. -Visac said.

Sentinel used his power to spread darkness throughout the battlefield, hindering the visibility of his adversary, so that his warriors could emerge victorious, but he did not count on the fact that Luzbell had learned to sense the presence of his enemies, although that only helped him feel when they were heading towards him, since he could not predict all the movements that the warriors were going to make, every time he felt that they were approaching him he immediately moved away, but he could not move away from the energy cuts that were concentrated energy. Released by the swords that the warriors possessed, Luzbell could only block them with his sword and dodge some of the attacks with great difficulty, a situation that put him at a clear disadvantage.

- Luzbell, what are you doing? –Demian wondered.

- Maybe you don't understand, he doesn't want to use his energy, he wants to use only his physique and talent in combat to win, he knows that he is facing inferior beings, even his sword is at rest, increasing its brightness internally, but not visibly, he wants to improve his base skills, which in the long term will allow him to increase his internal power. –Visac responded.

- But he's getting hurt. -Demian refuted it.

- It is because you are not observing well, he is increasingly avoiding power cuts with greater ease, he is using the talent of the Gods, who is not afraid of obstacles and sees them only as a challenge to be overcome, he develops another capacity that takes him beyond the limit, what's more, he will soon respond. -Visac said to Demian.

-The talent of the Gods. The desire of the will, are you talking about the ability to elevate each sense beyond its limits? -Demian asked, showing surprise on his face.

Luzbell, in the darkness despite having received some wounds, already easily dodged all the cuts that were thrown at him, so he decided that he should attack, he already saw the silhouettes of his adversaries, only ten sword cuts were heard, and then he used his purifying light technique to reduce the darkness to nothing, revealing the bodies of the last five warriors who faced him on the ground. Sentinel stared at him, smiled evilly and said:

- This is going to be exciting, let's get started.

- Get ready Demian, you wanted to fight, a Great Sacred is approaching. -Visac said.

- I don't understand you, you are referring to a Daisant-re. - Demian replies.

- Why do you call us that? If you know who we are and what our ranks are; Those are detestable names that yours gave us, the same ones that exiled you without caring about the rank you represented. –Visac questioned him.

- I can't help it; It is the custom. -Demian said.

Sentinel used his power again to summon two Oscurant, beings formed by darkness, with sharp and poisonous claws, their poison entered the body through the wounds, contaminating the blood, until they brought their adversaries to death, their silhouettes had the shape of a man. Luzbell looked at both adversaries, and at his main contender, until they launched the attack.

Luzbell dodged with difficulty their attempts to tear his skin, muscles or even dismember him, as time went by his claws became larger, they were impressively fast, but Luzbell's reflexes were adapting at the same speed, there was no doubt that he was a prodigy, even so he received a slight cut on his arm, through which the poison began to spread throughout his body, which is why he thought:

- I got too confident, I have to end this, or the darkness that spreads through my blood will end up killing me. –There was determination in his eyes.

Luzbell jumped to a safe distance from the Oscurant, and asked his sword to shine with the intensity of a star, after which he attacked the Oscurant, attacking with his sword while they blocked his attack using their claws as a shield which burned with the incandescent glow. When the Oscurant were defenseless, Luzbell's eyes began to shine, with a golden light, and she said:

- Purifying light, purifies what has been corrupted. -An intense flash came out of his left hand, more intense than the previous time, which transformed those Oscurants into entities of light that disappeared seconds later. –Then he whispered:

- Lost souls, with no place to go, or another being to inhabit, were consumed by darkness, creating those calamities. -Luzbell fell to his knees, the poison in his body continuing to spread.

- I'm about to fulfill what I promised you, end your life. -Sentinel said, while panting.

-Despite my deplorable state, you will not be able to beat me, I already realized where your strength lies, that is why despite not having fought you are tired. -Luzbell opposed it.

- I don't know what you're talking about. -Sentinel said.

- By covering yourself up, you lose greatness, in your eyes you can see that your strength has decreased, they are no longer the window to darkness, I even notice that they are crimson. -Luzbell said.

A loud roar was heard coming from the thick of the forest.
