Luke started crawling, he knew that if he should stop moving he would die. The four terrors closed the distance, and we're right behind Luke. Luke was shaking in fear, his body covered in sweat and dirt.
"No, please no, I'm not ready to die, please." Luke cried out as he kept crawling in the ground.
'I think I'll let him break a little more.' Leo thought. To be honest, he was actually sorry for Luke, but he had to go through with it.
The biggest terror of the group, came closest to Luke, it's mouth opened up revealing rows and rows of teeth.
"No, please no." Luke cried as tears and snot were plastered all over his face, he had even wet his pants, his body shivered uncontrollably.
The terror moved to swallow Luke, suddenly purple claw arcs tore through the terror killing it on the spot.
Leo landed in front of Luke, he turned and faced Luke. He pulled out the binding scroll he had bought.
"You have three seconds to sign this with your blood or die."
Luke who had been frozen in fear finally saw a ray of hope, he didn't question at all and bit his finger placing a bloody thumb print. The scroll burst into light particles, meaning it was successful.
When Leo saw that Luke had complied, he swiftly hit the back of Luke's neck, knocking him out cold. He immediately used phantom clones to create two clones that ran towards the terrors to distract them, while he escaped with Luke on his back.
-------
A couple minutes later. Leo placed Luke under a tree, and with a resounding slap managed to wake him up.
Luke looked up at Leo standing in front of him, his thoughts had finally cleared up.
"You did this right?" Luke roared at Leo.
"Is that how you say thank you." Leo said with a smile.
"Fuck you!" Luke roared as he launched at Leo, but mid-way he fell to the ground coughing out a mouthful of blood, he felt as though a blade had pierced his insides.
"Argh," Luke groaned in pain as he held his stomach.
Leo came and bent down beside Luke.
"It seems you have forgotten the scroll you signed with your blood, it stops you from hurting me or anyone I deem as a friend, in any way at all."
As Luke listened to Leo, the reality downed on him, he had been played, and not by anyone but the person he deemed inferior to him. Luke felt unimaginable rage inside of him.
Leo stood up and was about to leave.
"I've undone the seal on your ability." As he said that he began leaving.
"Even if I have to sell my soul, I will pay you back Leo!" Luke roared at Leo.
"Come I'll be waiting."
Leo knew he had formed an arch enemy, it would have been best for him to kill him. The were only two reasons he did not do it, if he killed him it would lead to future troubles, as his family was quite powerful, who knew what resources they had to find the truth. The second reason was that Leo did not want to kill for no reason, though it was true Luke had killing intent towards him, he had yet to try anything. Leo left Luke at the place, he had successfully brought the mighty to his knees.
[Mission complete A rank completion]
[Rewards: 1000 Exp, 1000 SP, unique weapon, unique technique.]
Leo decided not to check out his rewards, he needed to get back to camp, before it was Grey's turn to watch.
Leo got back to the camp, and switched sides with the clone
When it was time, he woke Grey up and went into his tent.
Inside his tent he checked his gains.
[Unique weapon: Lance drill. A powerful 1 meter drill that can penetrate the toughest of materials. Consumes 10 DP per minute. Requires Lance drill technique to work.]
[Unique technique: Lance drill (level 1). A technique used to power the Lance drill. Consumes 5 DP per second. Damage: +50%.]
Leo read through the two rewards.
"So I need to use them simultaneously, and each consumes their own DP, if not for the fact that this is very powerful, I would not use it."
Leo closed the system interface, and went to sleep.
-------
The next morning.
"We could just stay here, it seems there are no terrors around." Grey suggested to the group.
"Nope, I want to gain experience." Leo refused.
"Same here." Sasha responded.
"Damn, you guys are a load, you know." Grey half grumbled, half spoke.
When they packed their things and began walking, Sasha was walking ahead. Leo came up to Grey and spoke.
"I carried out my plan yesterday night, so you don't have to worry about Luke anymore."
Grey froze when he heard what Leo said.
'This Leo is more than meets the eye, luckily I made friends with him.' Grey thought to him self.
The group headed In a randomly choosen direction, looking for their next battle.
----------
Two people draped in black from head to toe, with hoodies covering their faces, stood in a building some kilometers away from the terror reserves.
"How are the preparations coming?" One of the men asked.
"My Lord, we will be fully prepared by tomorrow." The other man answered.
"Good, then we strike tomorrow, we will show this people the power of shadow. This reserve will be the first of many, in our grand plan. Go and finalize everything."
"Yes my Lord."
