Chapter 315 - The Bright Swords Transformation (1/2)
”Ah, John. Took you long enough.” Said The Bright Sword as he took another sip of his beer.
John remained quiet as he watched The Bright Sword carelessly enjoy his drink.
”Want some?” The bright sword asked.
There was no reply.
”Is that so…” He muttered as he filled his cup again.
They were in the middle of an underground pub. It was empty and mainly dark from the inside. It also wasn't known by many adventurers and there were rarely new customers aside from the regulars.
That being said, at this time of day, it was completely empty. The bright sword was pondering as to how John had found him.
”So, you knew, huh?” The bright sword asked
Upon hearing this, John made his way over to the empty seat next to the bright sword, before wordlessly sitting still.
The bright sword who noticed this, raised his cup up to his mouth to take another sip, when suddenly.
*Crack*
It shattered to pieces, causing sharp glass shards to rain down on the table.
”How long have you known?” He asked
The question was ignored and followed up with a simple order.
”Let him go and stop all of this.” Ordered John
”It's too late for that the magic circle is already active unless you break it, lesser demons will just keep pouring out.” Replied The Bright Sword before reaching out for another cup.
John was unsatisfied by the answer and began to release blood l.u.s.t. His patience was running out.
”If you're talking about my body, it's too late for me. He already had control over my own thoughts, Haha…”
A wide unbecoming grin was formed on the bright sword's face as he muttered
”I'm sure you know what that's like, judging how you've experience it.” Said the bright sword as he let out a few giggles
The calm blood l.u.s.t which was being directed at the bright sword had leapt to another level b coming more intense and concentrated. John's intentions weren't being hidden at all, he wanted to kill it.
However, the bright sword ignored this.
”I'm more concerned about how 'that' demon lord hasn't taken over your body yet… Actually, come to think of it, there were reports that he did, yet somehow you took-”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by John who suddenly appeared behind him and slammed his face on the table.
*Slam!* *Thud!*
”I'll just force him out-”
Before he could finish, John leapt a few feet back, landing on top of a table, before leaping off of it.
Not even a second after, the area in which he was standing was struck by countless pointy shapes. formed by darkness which had emerged out of the shadows. There were swords, spears, poles, anything sharp which you could think of.
What's more it completely blended in with the environment, having made it nearly impossible to detect.
”I knew something was up. Good thing I came, huh?” An unknown voice asked
John turned to the stairs where the voice was coming from and from there, he saw it.
Short spiky black hair and a straight lined scar going down his right eye straight to his mouth. A man in a cloak. He stopped right at the bottom of the stares. His attention wasn't on John, but rather, what was behind him.
The Bright Sword who had tried to launch a surprise attack on the distracted John, ended up hitting something hard in the middle of his swing, something which he couldn't see.
Following that, weapons emerged out of the shadows at high speed, each aiming straight at John. However, all they ended up hitting was each other, as John vanished without a trace.
The man who had stood at the bottom of the stairs, then looked up only to see john above him, with a swing from his dagger, in motion heading right at him.
*Slash*
John felt connection, but that quickly after turned out to only be the trace of darkness left behind as the man vanished.
”That was close!”
His voice came from the other end of the room where the bright sword was standing. John tightened his grasp over his dagger before turning over to them.
It was a two versus one and they were still holding back, things were definitely going to be rough for John but he didn't care.
