Chapter 69: Immediate Fight


    A tremendous outburst of overwhelming power crazily surged throughout the Necropolis Woods.


    The slumbering bloodline that rested for a week and a half inside Darcel and Ani were unleashed all at once!


    Rays of Darkness and Light streaked throughout the abyss like Darkness of the Necropolis Woods, painting this small area in magical brilliance.


    On Darcel and Ani''s arms as well, their bloodline markings seemed to have taken shape in a vague outline of a feather.


    Despite the duo only being mere fifth level Nascent Core ants, the ghost felt heavily suppressed! An unfathomable pressure crushed on it like it was getting submerged under a deep ocean.


    In just this split second, Darcel and Ani''s speed explosively increased!


    Darcel thrust his hand forward, igniting it in a dazzling ck ming coat. His eyes locked with the ghost''s entirely blue eyes as if he was the reaper of death.


    All the ghost merely saw was a blindingly bright sh of scorching ck mes that shot the temperature through the roof.


    And in the very next second, Darcel popped right near the Spirit Monster ghost, breaking the air apart with his speed.


    ''Chi!''


    Even as a ghost, Darcel felt liquidity substances spewed around his ck ming hand as he ruthlessly tore through the ghost head.


    Darcel''s overwhelming Nascent Qi immediately destroyed the ghost core, entirely suppressing its secondyer link True Soul Core Spirit Qi.


    As the ghost was vanishing out of existence, Ani had simultaneously turned her sights in a different direction.


    Right, when Darcel tore to the ghost, she ignited her hand in ck mes and blitz straight towards the center of therge rock!


    Ani''s mouth twitched, curving into an upward cruel smirk as she barrelled at the huge rock. Those three sneaky energy signatures were frozen in total shock at the sudden dramatic reversal of their prowess.


    Uncaring whether or not whoever was behind therge rock would move, Ani split right through the rock at the same time Darcel tore his ck ming hand through the ghost head.


    ''Bang!''


    The rock split into millions of tiny pieces! To Ani''s slight surprise, those three hiding rats manage to swiftly recover at just the nanosecond.


    They had all split off into the same directions, just barely avoiding the ck mes of Ani.


    Darcelnded right next to Ani, undisturbed by the crumbling of the enormous rock. The duo didn''t look towards each other but instead focused their nces a couple of meters ahead.


    Although, in their minds, Darcel and Ani could vaguely tell that their bloodline abilities must''ve slightly increased.


    "Sheesh, damn! Here we thought Zakira Academy was all just filled with pencil pushers. But that ce really is fostering freaks!"


    The surprised tone of a young boy''s voice red out in the Necropolis Woods.


    Darcel and Ani''s eyes immediately traced to where the voice was blooming from.


    Intense Fighting intent burst into their eyes once seeing three young boys all wearing the Quicksilver Roc uniform.


    All three of them had genuine handsome features and walked with a confident, bold stature. In their hands were bright short silver swords that tightly fit their hands.


    But above all, Darcel and Ani did notice one significant off thing about the Quicksilver Roc trio appearances. The duo saw a haze of an eerie blue glow nestling from deep within their eyes.


    Furthermore, all three of these boys aura majorly outss the ghost, being at the thirdyer link of the True Soul Core realm!


    "Well, well, well! So we finally get a chance at you rowdy gnats!" Ani told with mocking wonder in her tone.


    Admittedly, for the Quicksilver Roc boys, a hint of reverence swirled in their bodies, standing face to face with Darcel and Ani.


    Even now, their unfathomable pressure did not lessen in the slightest.


    Slight suppression crashed against the Quicksilver Roc boys bringing upon a weighing down pressure.


    But.right when the logical reverence came, the boys felt a colossal shock eclipsed throughout their minds.


    It was then, Darcel and Ani found this Quicksilver trio even odder.


    Despite their overwhelming bloodline aura, this Quicksilver Roc trio just had no reaction of fear or slight awe.


    In fact, it was like after a quick split second, the Quicksilver Roc trio became entirely fearless.


    The boy in the center, whose name was Mare, unhesitatingly spoke up, directly stating, "Ah! Well, I''m d you two are all caught up on the nose.since you, two shall be next!"


    Surges of massive Spirit Qi poured into the Quicksilver Roc trio legs like a raging storm right when Mare was done speaking.


    They didn''t give Darcel and Ani even a split second to react as they sted towards them with immense speeds!


    The wind kicked up in several chaotic storms flowing wildly around the Quicksilver Roc trio.


    Powerful thirdyer link True Soul Core auras attempted to crush down on Darcel and Ani. In only a second, the Quicksilver Roc boys were half a meter close to the duo!


    "Heh!"


    Ani, however, was undisturbed by the Quicksilver Roc boys aura and tremendous speed. Absolutely no suppression fell upon her allowing her free reign for a swift counter-attack.


    Instantly when the Quicksilver Roc boys were only a half meter away, Ani''s bloodline arm was quickly enriched in a bright white glow.


    She didn''t need any time to swirl her bloodline powers, causing a white Light to radiantly burst like the sun.


    ''Chi!''


    In the same mannerism, as she did in the ck Dungeon Labyrinth, Ani sted out a blinding white shbang!


    For a mile, the whole Necropolis Woods lit up in a white glow radiance.


    Mare, the Quicksilver Roc boy on his right whose name was Talo, and the boy on Mare''s left whose name was Cini all forcefully shut their eyes and went still like statues.


    Utter helpless invaded the Quicksilver Roc mind and bodies. Along with blinding, the boys felt this sneaky freezing power when Ani unleashed her white glow shbang.


    And with this prime opportunity of stillness, Darcel and Ani''s eyes burst with an intense savage glint.


    In a streak of dual Darkness and white glow, the duo rushed right near the Quicksilver Roc trio.


    Darcel enkindled both of his hands into raging ck ming ws, striking right at Mare and Talo. Ani had fished out her purple rapier, ignited it in powerful ck mes, and thrust straight towards Cini.


    Darcel and Ani''s attacks were mere inches away from the Quicksilver Roc trio.


    And even while being blind, Mare, Talo, and Cini felt their instincts frantically roar at them.


    On pure instincts and with the speed of Wind Qi, Mare and Talo quickly thrust their short silver swords up to meet Darcel''s ck ming ws.


    While Cini simrly swiftly thrust his short silver sword up to intercept Ani''s ck ming rapier.


    ''BANG!''


    A tremendous sh of Spirit Qi and Nascent Qi mixed together, crazily spewing out into the air like a thunderous storm!


    ck mes sailed out in the surrounding area burning any spots on the ground to a ck crisp.


    Unsurprisingly to Darcel and Ani, they evenly matched as their attacks shed against the Quicksilver Roc trio.


    It was only a split second stalemate before Mare, Talo, and Cini all snapped their eyes open.


    Darcel and Ani only caught a brief glimpse of their increasingly blue glowing eyes. Seeing it so up close caused ever so slight shivers to pool into Darcel and Ani''s body.


    There was just something about this ominous blue glow that spelled immense trouble.


    However, in the very next second, Mare, Talo, and Cini all vanished right out of their sh.


    Darcel raised an eyebrow as he thought to himself, ''Hm? So this is their special speed?''


    Remarkably enough, this kind of speed is noteworthy in Darcel''s book, but he had then her Ani say,


    "Up!"


    Both she and Darcel jerked their heads up towards the sky simultaneously. Their eyes held a bit of surprise as the Quicksilver Roc boys managed to get thirty meters high in the sky!


    Wild stormy winds encased the Quicksilver Roc boys as they thrust their short silver swords above them.


    Tremendously, the Quicksilver Roc boys prowess immensely shot up.


    Blue Wind Qi wrapped around their short silver swords, creating a mini blue tornado around their swords.


    The time it took to prepare this attack was only two seconds, yet Darcel and Ani didn''t stay idle.


    They never tired jumping high in the air before, and attempting to run wouldn''t be so wise with the Quicksilver Roc boys vantage point.


    Darcel and Ani''s eyes traded a knowingmunicative nce. Darcel nodded at Ani, and her mouth cracked into a small smirk.


    A beautiful white glow oozed out of her arm as she swiftly created a white light barrier.


    At the same time, the duo also heard,


    "Gale Battle!!!"


    Mare, Talo Cini all unleashed a furious battle cry. They pointed their swords downward towards Darcel and Ani and sted out a tremendous torrent of blue Wind Qi tornados!


    ''Hua!''


    The air was thrown into frantic chaos as a massive torrent of blue Wind Qi tornadoes surged throughout the Necropolis Woods.


    This Martial Skill wasn''t something any thirdyer link True Soul Core cultivator couldn''t take lightly.


    And with their powersbined, Mare, Talo, and Cini were all highly confident that this freakish duo would get critically injured now.


    It was only a shame that none of them spotted the spark of white glow that came from Ani.


    Right when the Quicksilver Roc boys'' martial skill reached Darcel and Ani, the blue Wind Qi tornado stopped only a few feet apart. All around Darcel and Ani''s Light barrier, blue Wind Qi raged on for miles, but none could even get close to the duo.


    "Tch!"


    Immediately so, the Quicksilver Roc boys had now noticed their Martial Skill failing. Their initially slow descendent took a sudden shift as the boys speedily plunged straight at Ani''s Light barrier.


    Darcel and Ani smoothly jumped back as three silver lights pierced right through Ani''s light barrier.


    Mare, Talo, and Cini managed to nimblynd on their feet before crashing into the ground and pounced at the dodging duo.


    However, before they could get near, a sinking cold feeling swept the Quicksilver Roc boys'' mind.


    Their eyes directly snapped to Darcel''s hand as he pointed it out to them.


    An eerie Darkness glow enriched his whole bloodline arm, creating a daunting spectacle for the Quicksilver Roc boys.


    This Darkness.there was something too off about it!


    Abruptly, Mare, Talo, and Cini changed their course of action and vanished from the duo''s eyes.


    Once again, before Darcel and Ani could even attempt anything, this speed is causing a problem.


    "But that reaction, though.alright."


    Darcel gained a realization on his face as a bright idea popped into his mind.


    Instantly Darcel''s Darkness glow arm became further intense. He spawned a Darkness barrier over him, and Ani and Darcel had then said, "Ani, the whip."


    As he spoke, Darcel pointed his other arm. Ani promptly caught on to what Darcel''s wanted and spewed out a whitish ck ming whip from the center of her palm.


    Ani''s whip slithered around Darcel''s wrist, tightly coiling it. And while doing so, Darcel silently surged power into his left hand.


    As he expected, because of his Darkness, it brought them a little time to enact this n.


    Though it really only took Darcel a few seconds to finish gathering power.


    Once ready, the duo traded another look and nodded.


    Flexing his legs, Darcel sted off backward with immense speeds!


    Simultaneously while going backward, Darcel thrust out his hand, and from three tips of his finger, he sted three ck fire beams. Seemingly, Darcel had no targets, but the ck fire beams urately shot towards three hiding spots.


    ''Swish!''


    While the ck fire beams were still firing, Mare, Talo, and Cini all rushed out of their hiding spots before Darcel''s ck fire beam reached them.


    Darcel''s Darkness had caused every instinct in the bodies to wildly roar like a storm. More than anything, the Quicksilver Roc boys had itid out to them to not get close that Darkness.


    And using the moment where Darcel was in the middle of attacking was the perfect time to strike!


    None of them had even noticed the whitish ck ming whip of Darcel''s due to his extreme speed.


    Darcel''s eyes nced down to see the rushing of the Quicksilver Roc boys. However, no worries or panic entered his eyes; instead, a slight assured smirk rested on his face.


    Darcel correctly expected this, and swiftly, he pulled his weightless wrist back.


    Midway during the Quicksilver Roc boys rushed, they also clearly sense from behind, Ani barreling straight at them.


    It wasn''t the fact they forgot about but simply didn''t want to get close to that Darkness barrier.


    Mare only took a swift nce back, but when doing so, his pupil dted.


    Somehow, Ani was reaching a speed that matches or was slightly above them!


    The Quicksilver Roc boys were only a meter from Darcel, and yet at Ani''s speed, they wouldn''t even make it before she struck them.


    But before he could make heads about her, Mare and the other boys'' eyes hurriedly snapped back to Darcel. They watched in horror as Darcel''s Darkness dauntingly wrapped around his arm.


    In a pincer trap, Mare, Talo, and Cini knew these two were up to something. With their anger growing, the trio wanted to simply speed away again.


    But suddenly, the Quicksilver Roc boys found it nearly impossible to move!


    A crisis feeling swelled in their minds as a blindingly white glow abruptly clouded all of their visions.


    ''Chi!''


    Ani''s intense blinding white shbang burst right near the Quicksilver Roc trio! Even harsher this time, their bodies entirely locked up, and some pain assaulted their eyes.


    Up ahead, Darcel felt a familiar gentle power envelop his eyes right when Ani''s shbang went off, protecting him from it.


    Seeing it work, Darcel''s smile quickly turned cruel as at three of his fingertips, a harsh Darkness glow eerily swirled there.
