chapter 37

Now, Sirius lay quietly on the ground, his body is covered in fresh wound inflicted by Erik himself, he's still faintly breathing.

"That was a nice workout, I haven't had one like that in a long time," Erik said jokingly as he placed the Corpse spear over his shoulder and walked back to their group while leaving Sirius behind.

"Call in some men over and put him in chains! The more chains you add the better!" Erik then added.

However as Erik was walking away, Sirius showed some movement through his fingers.

Erik noticed and stop on his track and turned around to face Sirius.

The man on the ground coughed out two mouthfuls of blood as he struggles to stand up on his feet.

"You're quite sturdy, being able to stand with these injuries inflicted upon your body." Erik complimented him.

Sirius grinned, showing his former white teeth, now stained with his own blood, making them red. His eyes are now glued on Erik.

He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of silver liquid.

"What is that?" Erik look confused at what the man was planning to do.

"NO! Don't let him drink that!" Luminous shouted out to Erik, trying to warn him of an imminent danger.

"I honestly did not want to use this at all...however, you left me no other choice than to use it!"

Sirius then quickly pull off the cap and chug down the bottom content.

Immediately Sirius fell to the ground grabbed his own throat, scratching and struggling on the ground in agony.

Leonard, who witnessed the scene on the side could help but feel a chill running down his spine as he watched Sirius flopping around on the ground with his eyes bulging out from their sockets.

"What the hell did he just chugged down?" Leonard turned to Luminous to help answer his question.

"Just know that it's a medicine that could raise one own strength temporarily, however it comes with a great cost," Luminous answered him and went back to fixating her sight on Sirius.

Veins began to pop out of Sirius' forehead, they were pulsing like worms under his skin.

The man screamed in pain in Erik sight.

Slowly Sirius' eyes turned golden and tattoo similar to that of the Demon Hunter began to show on the skin of face in place of the formerly pulsing veins on his forehead.

The wounds on his body quickly healed up without leaving a scar.

Finally, a baleful aura exploded from Sirius.

"Hahahaha!!! You all are going to die!!!" Sirius roared out blasted toward Erik with great speed with fist aiming for his face.

Erik, upon seeing Sirius coming toward him with a closed up fist aiming for his face, quickly moved the Corpse spear over in an attempt to block the blow.

*Bang! When Sirius' punch landed on the spear shaft, the power from the impact manage pushed Erik back by a few steps, making Erik hands a bit numb.

"You've gotten stronger," Erik commented.

"Oh, you haven't seen nothing yet!" Sirius grinned, showing his bloody mouth while pulled out his sword and ready to slash Erik.

Noticing this Erik quickly try to disengage himself from the fight by pushing Sirius back and strike him with the spear.

*Slash!

He managed to scratch Sirius with the blade of the spear in the process.

However, the wound itself too quickly closed up and leave no trace behind other than the ripped clothes.

"Hmm...that's going to be quite annoying to deal with." Erik curses in a low voice seeing how quickly the wound of Sirius body healed everytime he is injured.

"You see? I cannot be killed! Because all my wound would just heal up immediately!" Sirius laughed out at the now annoyed Erik.

"Father! Keep injure him using the spear! I don't believe that his body could keep up with the constant loss of blood! And the energy to heal all of those wounds constantly either!" Leonard shouted out to Erik from the sideline.

Of which he, unfortunately, attracted the attention of Sirius as well.

"Little kid like you need to shut up!" Sirius quickly tossed a dagger toward Leonard.

"Watch out, Leonard!" Luminous quickly rushed over pushed him down to the ground, narrowly dodging the dagger.

Erik, seeing that his son has narrowly escaped death, was enraged and charged over to Sirius brandishing his spear at him.

*Clank *clank *clash *slash.

The sound of steel clashing against one another sounded out, the clash between the two of them kicked dust and debris and blurred all the spectator sight, when everything settled down they only saw Erik standing on one side with his spear, with some minor injuries while Sirius does not come out unscathed either, but the wounds were once again quickly healed heal albeit at a slower pace than before.

"Have a taste of my secret technique!" Erik shouted out as he held the spear tightly with both of his hand, pointing the tip at Sirius.

Then something strange happened, the blade tip of the spear began to glow a bright red color.

"That technique…I can see a large amount of energy being gathered at a single point of the spear, is he planning to unleash it in that next strike?!" Mavis shouted out in surprise.

Leonard saw that Mavis was quite surprised.

"For Mavis to say a "large" amount of energy gathered at one point, it must be quite a lot." he thought, as he already knows that Mavis standard for something that is "large" was completely different from his own sense of what is truly "large".

Erik let out an explosion of speed and vanished from Leonard sight, he immediately appeared behind Sirius with the spear in hand.

"Bloodflower!" the Corpse spear ran through Sirius back and the blood red energy from the spear exploded out and burst, forming an illusion of a blood red flower from Sirius' chest.

*Splash Erik then pulled out the spear, leaving Sirius to fell to his knee and coughed out a mouthful of blood.

"How...is this possible! Why didn't my wound heal?!" Sirius roared out when he noticed that his wound no longer heal like before.

"Fool, do you think that the spear I handed my father is your average run of the mill magical enchanted weapon?! My spear has the ability to infect its target with an infection, slowly destroying the body from within, sure- that drug you took might be able to heal your flesh wound quickly, but I doubt it could cure poison!" Leonard sneered at Sirius with a grinned on his face, seemingly enjoying himself at the sight of Sirius suffering.

"Haha..hahaha." Sirius who knelt on the ground let out a laughter.

"In the end, it's the damn brat that ended up killing me...the great Sirius... however...I will not go down alone! I will take you with me!" as he finished those last words he used every last ounce of energy he had left and launched out a desperate strike at Leonard with a sword in hand.

"Leonard! Watch out!" Ryan quickly moved right in between of Leonard and Sirius.

*Puchi! *Slash! The sound of flesh being cut entered everyone ears.

Total silent, like time itself was stopped.
