26 25 - intense battle

"You've gone overboard and now you are going to pay!" Mickaila said quite aggravated but still with a calm tone.

With his purple eyes glistening in the dark dusty, run down building with only 1 exit (the double door covered in poison ivy). Mickaila himself facing 10s of these warriors along with their leader was not something that can be easily scoffed at.

But as if Mickaila was out of the ordinary, his body reacted faster than his mind could process his moves and just before anyone knew it. Mickaila has already taken down 10s of their warrior knights leaving with only the leader in sight.

"Let me guess..." As Mickaila brought out some strong needles used by assassins to attack enemies at their weak spots whilst playing around with them within his hands.

"You're going to revive them." As Mickaila focused his attention at the leader who was transferring it's mana over whilst Mickaila smirked.

"Too late!" Says Mickaila whilst he throws out the 10s of needles a few at a time with no difficulty. Hitting his target without a miss, causing the warrior knights to fall one after another by hitting their core. Disabling them to revive once more.

" Now then..." Mickaila said whilst looking back at all the mental warrior knight's leader.

"Shall we have a fair fight." Mickaila smiled meekly.

As the leader stood up from his crouched position, knowing that all the warriors were down and unable to regenerate, leaving only him who could fight off this human on their premises.

To stop Mickaila from going through the ivy door, the leader has come to conclude that he would risk anything even if it was his life to not allow the human before him to approach their boss.

And with that commitment, the leader made the first move and started charging at Mickaila fully armed. Slashing their weapons against each other. Fighting in a manner that was different to their first fight. This time it was more intense, fighting at lightning speed, flashing from place to place within the large room at their disposal. But something that was for certain was that, now it was certainly a one on one battle.

~30 minutes later~

The leader was losing it's mana at an exponential rate whilst Mickaila didn't even drop a sweat. By now it was obvious the winner had been decided...

"You know, this is getting boring." Mickaila sighed walking closer to his opponent who was crouching down tiredly with it's armour being punctured from the attacks Mickaila has used.

Just as Mickaila was about to slash down his sword, he soon comes to a halt just before his sword made contact with the warrior knight in front of him, a gust of wind blew from the immense strength that Mickaila has used on the sword causing it to dissipate into strong wind due to the strong impact.

[What am I doing?] Mickaila asked himself confused,uncertain whether he was in the right mind to act in such a way that he never does. A way that he was fumed with the desire of blood lust, a desire to kill, a fight that was fumed by anger. The immense strength he gained from battle was something he experienced for the first time but it also felt like a different part of him, a part he never knew that existed who tried to gain control of his body. A being that he never knew about himself. [What am I?] but even when Mickaila asked these questions, he would never get an answer (well, not until the near future 😆).

As Mickaila slowly gained back his senses, the warrior knight took that opportunity to get out of Mickaila's sight and got into a safer position. Preparing for another and final attack, the warrior knight held tightly onto his weapon making his last move, and within a split second it sped his way towards Mickaila attacking from behind at lightning speed. Seeing how Mickaila was still in conflict with himself, believing the tables had turned but unluckily for the warrior knight, within that split second the sword could come into contact with Mickaila's back.

Mickaila took back control, spinning around from his position, facing the shocked warrior knight leader with his normal pair of light blue eyes. Blocking it's attack and stabbing the other sword through the metal armour, hitting straight through to its core destroying the leader as it collapsed onto the ground.

But who knew the battle wasn't over yet, despite the leader being down, the armours didn't disappear, "Ok now that you have nowhere to hide, you might as well come out." says Mickaila who was unhappily in a mood.

And with that, a large and heinous looking shadow with blazing red eyes starts to form above the warrior knight's leader. Figure like that of the Grim Reaper with a death scythe held within its hands, fully cloaked in black with nothing in sight except for it's dark red eyes staring back at Mickaila with intensity.

"So the perpetrator was you all along" Mickaila smiled, "Who knew I'll find a grim reaper within a D ranked portal huh" Mickaila said un-amused with how the system has always tried to make the unexpected happen.

The ripper in front of Mickaila started to raise it's scythe as if wanting to sentence Mickaila to death (well that is only if he has the capability in doing so 😂).

With another intense battle coming their way, Mickaila who has now gained back his sense would now have to face the grim reaper who has unusual powers.

~An hour later~

The battle was still ongoing with neither side giving in to the other. Facing each other with an intense atmosphere surrounding them. Despite the fact that Mickaila has lost that immense strength, he still has that motivation in survival, a mind that never gives up.

Although it was evident that Mickaila was still at a disadvantage with his stamina weakening by the second.

With both sides going back to a safe position, Mickaila took a heavy blow, breathing heavily whilst his conscience was getting blurry. He took a deep breath and faced his opponent who doesn't look any better than him, "Ok, shall we end it here." he said quite fed up.

Gripping tightly on his weapons, he stares intensely at the dark grim reaper in front of him, "let's end this" As Mickaila charged towards his opponent without a second to spare catching his opponent by surprise but nothing that the grim reaper couldn't handle but who knew there was a catch.

A smirk came upon Mickaila's expressions, [FireBlade, Activate].

And before the grim reaper could make another move, his sword had already slashed through the shadow burning it in flames.

|Congratulations gamer, you have defeated the Shadow Grim Reaper (2) |

|Exp would be rewarded|

|Congratulations you have levelled up|

|Congratulations, you have gained the skill bloodlust|

Despite Mickaila's success , his vision was a blur, his body began to weaken, his consciousness was slowly lost and he falls into deep darkness.
