Chapter 45 - Foe Or Friend?

Ash saw the luggers and quickly turned back he had no time to make a plan so he slowly looked up as panic set in there were six of them all huddled

On the mian street allowing no enter unless he went around

So he peaked his head around and saw they were gone but

There was holes in the ground "they went underground..." the realization

Hit him harder then a brick as the ground made a slow rumble that slowly picked up a more violent pace as the ground broke beneath him he jumped trying to avoid the luggers sneak attack.

His body moved instinctively trying to run away from danger so he ran around the corner his legs picking up more last by the second as the chased him "Lumina!" He called as lumina appeared next to him "I need some help!"

He pleaded as she turned around to see Why,her face froze and her eyes widened as she saw the many luggers chasing him "you could've asked sooner!" She said she charged up a beam "DONT MESS WITH ASH!!!!" She shot a large beam from the palm of her hand as it struck one of the luggers in the mouth.

The lugger scowled before slamming it's face into the ground lumina charged up

Another beam and ahot another one of the luggers but the luggers were adapting so the attack was becoming ineffective "Ok I need to get us out of here"

Ash tried to spawn his soldiers and his wings but he was low on energy so he couldn't "Frick!" Ash said outloud "well until I upgrade my skills that's all I can do"

Lumina said "were so nerfed!" Ash said again as they reached a dead end the other side of the street was blocked off by rubble.

The luggers approached slowly as they grew hands from the side and a beam charged up from one of its maws "were dead..." ash thought then a twin blade flew around it's neck in a instant a flew back and someone stood on top of the rubble tower holding the bloody twin blades they had a kimono-style robe tied at the waist with an obi sash and it was red with golden moons on it, they're haircut was a A medium-length blond bob cut

Slightly layered and very straight

Often described as a soft curtain fringe / straight bangs

Sits around jaw to neck length.

They wore a Black shirt black pants and red shoes

Then he hopped down walking towards rest of them

And threw his twin blade killing two more instantly

Ash looked stunned at the skill that was being displayed

Then held the edges of the twin blade sending energy through them then tossed back like a boomerang then it flew back towards him then he spun the blades getting all of the blood of them Before putting them back at his side.

"Who are you?" Ash asked "my names aki" the guy said and walked away he looked around ashes age but was stronger then him "wait you can't just go after that" ash said to aki "yes I can so leave me alone" the guy said walking away "y-you just helped me!" Ash exclaimed "yeah what about it,wait....are you planning to ask me to transfer my shards" aki asked "no no no,only if you want"

Ash said.

Aki kept walking "can I ask you a question?" Ash said

"Do you wanna help me ask for people shards?" Ash quietly hoped the answer would be yes but he knew things would be to easy of that was the answer

"No" aki said "then do you even have a reason to leave this place" ash asked,

Aki froze and slowly turned around "to kill the skull crawlers..."

He said with dull eyes but behind them were pure rage even with a clam tone ash knew how it was gonna sound vs how he said it.

"Skull crawlers?" Ash wondered "the ones that killed me entire clan"

Aki calm tone sounded eerily scary "why'd they do that" ash asked

"Because of my clans eyes,they were special but mine,mine were different I had these eyes called the conquerors eye" he pointed to his eyes.

"Because of that I was a target and my entire clan died Protecting me so I'm gonna kill every last one of the skull crawlers...." his Eerie smile mad ash uncomfortable.

Then aki walked away "oh....." ash was gonna say something but aki and already shut him up signaling with his hands lumina just watched that her jaw hanging

"That....was deep" she said "what are the skull crawlers?" Ash asked

"They're a group of mercenaries or assassin's that hunt whoever they've targeted" lumina told him so ash and her started walking.while Aurelia sat in the hide out and finally had enough energy to fight "Ok I'm going out"

She said blizting out the hide out she ran through the streets.

Then she saw aki and jumped down "Give me your points"

She said demanding "no" aki said "I need those points..."

She said her tone was serious and deadly.....aki still repeated the same answer he said last time so she dashed at him drawing her sword as she leaped into the air "I don't want to kill you" she said aki stepped back avoiding the hit

Then he pulled out his twin blades and spun them around like nun-chucks.

"Get out of my way..." aki said but Aurelia didn't listen and dashed back in

He blade glowing blue as aki blocked the first two attacks before jumping back on the last then he tossed the twin blades at her but she ducked and they came flying back at her and she ducked again so the twin blades came back to aki.

"Not good enough" Aurelia said appearing behind him but all of a sudden his eyes turned golden and he turned his head looking at her.

"Conquerors eye...."
