Izochi stepped back. Deeply breathing in and out. It was a technique to boost his stamina and restore blood flow. As well as his brain and heart. He might be thinking about how to defeat his opponent. But since Izochi was restoring the blood flow, his bleeding also increased.
His body was now hurting from the inside, but a smile appeared on his face.
"I said you will die, that means you will die."
Izochi's body was barely standing. Each part of his body was screaming. His bones were broken.
But his sword fell. It was already divided into two, and this time it was torn apart. He started to wonder. What to do with a broken sword?
Suddenly, a sword was on his side, right side. He threw away the sword in his hand and grabbed the one on the ground. Though he didn't know why a sword came in a place like this.
But he decided to use it. Because that's the only choice left to him. Izochi once again charged forward. And so did the Fallen. Their battle was looking to never stop.
Both of them were getting heavily injured. But the Fallen was regenerating, no, it was attaching its torn parts together.
On the other hand, Izochi was not healing. His body was getting brutally injured. His head started to bleed faster. His bones were breaking from the inside. It's because they couldn't withstand the power Izochi was using.
But the pain had a prize. Izochi was able to stand this long just because he was taking all the physical pains in himself. Meaning, some of Izochi's wounds were made by himself.
Izochi was not a madman anymore. His face was serious. Like he managed to wake his real self up. But then he realized they are not alone there anymore. He was getting surrounded by many low-mid class Spirits and Engimas.
Izochi's eyes started to glow, it started to become totally dark. His pupils, irises, and sclerae, all merged together, and got totally black, dark.
"With the Hollow of Darkness, I command you to be summoned, ----"[1]
He said with a low tone.
And it caused a really, really large explosion. The expression was so great that almost everything around Izochi turned into dust. The air was mixed with dust, and so everything became blurry.
What Izochi summoned was, was a nightmare, a real nightmare. It was an Engima. Judged by its appearance, it was a high class.
It was as tall as a five floored building. And was looking like, its lower part was thinner than upper. And head wasn't matching its body. The Engima looked like half summoned. As its left half was not visible.
As soon as the Engima got summoned, the tide of the battle and the environment of Raygin, both changed.
The Engima started to shatter every single Spirits, Engimas, and the Fallen. The summoned Engima's method was brutal, brutal. The air started to get heavy, with the smell of blood of the Spirits and Engimas.
The summoned Engima's name,
"Antishadow"
Izochi couldn't withstand this much pain, especially the pain of summoning the Engima's half.
His vision started to get blurry. His ears were not hearing the massacre around him. His body fell on the ground, he lost his consciousness.
But even after Izochi falling down on the ground, the massacre of Antishadow went on.
Izochi was standing just where he was said to be. But Marco was not there. Izochi was standing alone, looking at the massacre he had made few days ago, not even a week.
Izochi was the only one signed for this mission. It's because of his failure to control his power. And it was important for him to learn this, because loosing control over own means nothing but death.
Izochi was not wearing his coat.
Maybe that's because wearing a long coat during fights could affect his proper movement of body. His dress was the same he was wearing in the day. But with a sword on back. His hands were in his pants' pockets.
Izochi dived into the place he destroyed. Though he could just teleport to the ground as he did before, he didn't do this time. Who knows why he chose to jump?
Izochi was slaying and slaying all the Spirits and Engimas. This time, he was not spamming his power, but his swordsmanship, pure swordsmanship. Though Izochi's body was getting injured, he was still refusing to go mad.
It was 11:47. And Izochi was almost done. Meaning it took him about four entire hours to complete his mission.
"A little more left."
He said. But there was none to listen to this. He was,
ALL ALONE.
Izochi sat on a broken piece of wall. His eyes were looking at the open vast night sky. It was a full-moon night. So, everything around was clearly visible. He looked at the destruction he made, today and the previous day.
"I really made all these massacres!?"
He questioned to the air. Obviously, the air gave no answer. So, he remained silent. His sword was left on the ground.
The rotten part of the Raygin city was all cleared. Izochi did it all alone.
"A class-3 Fallen. And hundreds of minions."
That was all the creatures in that part of city.
"I wonder how much powerful that Engima is! And how much is that boy!"
A shadow standing on the top of the hill beside Raygin city. He was present there for the entire time. Observing the boy. It can't be said who he was despite the moon shining all out.
But the city was not totally clear at all. So, Izochi stood up once again. And lifted his sword.
The massacre continued through the entire night.
