66 Chapter 66: Out of the shadows
Since the leak skill could tell him details about the things he wishes to know, Kevin thought it could work on weapons too.
Glaring at the sword that was in the hands of the elf standing on the left side, it had only shown the name of the sword and nothing else. So Kevin concluded that the sword has no spell whatsoever.
But as he looked at the sword on his side, the leak skill started displaying information about the sword to Kevin.
“What the hell does this means system?” Kevin asked.
“The thing is, Instead of pure inner energy, the sword is empowered by an evil spell created by a witch called Kara. So it meant that these guys were unable to learn the true mage spell book and instead stole Kara’s spell book and began to learn her evil spells.” The system said.
“Maybe that’s the reason why they haven’t been captured before now,” Kevin said. He once read a newspaper talking about these guys and in it they said they were wanted for stealing, killing, and using forbidden spells in the city. Kevin didn’t pay attention to it back then. But now that he was looking at the elf standing in front of him, he could see that he was the same person he saw drawn on the newspaper.
Kevin smirked to himself and said to the two elves, “How lovely would it be to hand you over to the soldiers for an arrest.”
“I would love to see you defeat the two of us first.” The elf with the cursed sword answered back.
.....
The elf attacked with his sword but barely managed to dodge the attack. He rolled on the ground and stood up to face the elf once again. He noticed that the sword brushed past his right arm at the surface of his skin. The arm of his uniform was tattered, revealing his white-pinkish skin.
“Shit that was so close but it is not a good thing, I could have lost more health points on it.” Kevin hissed.
Just the little scratch of the sword drew five points of health points from him. If he wasn’t careful and gets hit by the sword, he could lose his life.
Kevin knew he may not survive fighting this elf, but he was just trying to buy more time till the system completes the activation of the blockage cell in his body. For now, he’s defending the attacks although he knew it is not for long, what was worse was when the other elf also started attacking.
“Shit, only me versus two opponents with swords. One with a possessed sword and the other with an unknown power. This is a suicide mission, system.” Kevin eventually concluded on using his shadow magic.
Just as the elf with the ordinary sword raised his hands to slash at him, Kevin initiated the second skill of the shadow. The shadow hop skill.
Before the elf could haul the sword into his body, Kevin used his shadow hop skill to appear behind the elf and before he could know it, he sent sparks of lightning into the elf’s body, killing him at once.
Kevin glanced at the dead body of the elf. It just occurred to him that he was killing someone for real.
“Gosh, this looks pretty bad. You’re the only elf I felt sympathy for.” Kevin said before gazing at his two hands. What he was feeling at the moment seemed so strange. He felt like this was what he was meant to do. He couldn’t explain the joy he felt in killing people like these.
The killing works with the rage and anger within him which triggers the lightning magic to unleash more powerful attacks every time he uses it.
The other elf guy stood a little bit far away but he was surprised to see Kevin use two magics. It was a rare thing and that gave him enough fear to stay put and study the person he was fighting. In every one of his attacks, they seem to be getting stronger all the time.
Fortunately, he was not the only elf left. Some of the other members of the gangs were still alive, but they were either injured or too scared to attack. Not after seeing that Kevin could use two magics.
Matt was stunned himself and what was more strange was that the magic was shadow magic. A magic that only the creatures of the dark are deemed to learn.
“Did he violate the rules to become stronger? Who could have realized that we have a student within us that managed to learn two magics but he blew it all up by acquiring the forbidden magic.” Matt thought and a wry smile came off his lips.
“Time to get you arrested for your crime.”
“Guys, let’s get rid of this kid when the opportunity strikes. He’s going to fetch us a lot of money if he’s caught by the soldiers.” Matt told the elves standing beside him and they all accepted.
Matt’s eyes flashed toward where Ratten was lurking and loitering for the right time to strike at Kevin.
“Wait, let’s see what ratten is going to do to him,” Matt said as he saw Ratten making his move toward Kevin who had his back facing him.
Suddenly, Kevin felt something strike him, like an electric shock. He became still all of a sudden and couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t move his hands or feet and only stood where he was, glancing at the dead elf’s corpse.
‘What’s going on with my body? I’m feeling like a spell was being used on me like the one Jeri did. Who the hell is deterring me from acting and moving as I wish.’
‘Kevin, I feel bad declaring to you that Jeri is making her way towards you at the moment. She’s able to sense your presence since you were once linked to her spell and are still linked to her spell at the moment.’
‘So she’s out of the shadow dome eventually. I wonder if she won against Lexa.’ Kevin thought.
‘Kevin there’s another problem. Ratten is coming behind you with a knife!’
“Not on my watch,” Jeri said as he emerged out of the shadows.
