Chapter 73: Light and Darkness (1)

"Next" Zero said.

But his words fell on deaf ears as the whole group watched in horror as blood gushed out the body of their ally. They still found it hard to believe that Zero was capable of doing this much with just brute strength and nothing else.

"Conny…"

One of them muttered with saddened eyes. Looking back at the other woman with a hole punctured in her chest, these people couldn't help but feel a new kind of emotion rising up from deep within them. This was an emotion they haven't felt in a while!

This emotion is Fear!

Thud!

Thud!

With each step forward Zero took, the group quickly retreated another step! Their eyes trembled as they looked at Zero as if he was some sort of ancient beast that shouldn't exist in this time! His ruthlessness is not something these people can understand.

[His aim wasn't to kill... If it were that he would have conserved his depleting energy and would have still won but he chose to end both of them in gruesome ways, thereby planting the seed of fear in the hearts of these students who are yet to know the taste of their blood…. An interesting tactic] The white-haired man praised Zero in his mind.

Meanwhile within the security room,

Swoosh!

Master chou with his hands gently placed on his back lept from side to side evading countless shadow spikes that popped out of every dark circle existing in this light world.

"Shadow Manipulation: Shadow spikes!" Dusk growled.

Instantly the six black puddles circling Master chou multiplied! With all twelve black circles surrounding the old man from all angles, black cone-shaped spikes began shooting out of them from all sides.

"Terrifying!" Master chou said with a smile on his face.

Woosh!

His figure moved so quickly that only after images were left, easily evading the shadow attacks but unlike before the attacks didn't stop! The black circles kept following him while releasing more shadow spikes forcing master chou into a passive situation.

Someone looking from afar would assume the A rated Duo Dusk and Dawn had the advantage but in reality, the case was the reverse. At this point, Dawn was covered in sweat and his complexion was slightly pale! The same went for Dusk but her situation was not as severe as that of her partner.

Unlike master chou who could continue evading these attacks for hours, Dawn and Dusk could barely maintain their abilities for twenty minutes straight! These techniques consume spirit energy and at the same time, it needed a decent amount of concentration to skillfully manipulate their abilities.

"Babe?" Dawn coughed up a mouthful of blood as he tried to speak.

His eyes had dark circles beneath them and his body trembled slightly. Sustaining this light world that practically made him and Dusk invincible was not a small task. If faced against weaker foes, Dawn wouldn't even bother to use such a high-level technique but the situation was different. Not only were they up against a man who has achieved the aura materialization stage, but they were also forced to battle this man in a very small room, giving master chou all the advantages he needed.

If dawn hadn't activated this ability when he did, they probably would have been dead a long time ago.

"He is too quick… This is not something I can deal with easily… How much time do you still have?" Dusk spoke out fearlessly since Dawn's technique practically erased their existence, so they didn't really have to bother with the chances of Master chou spotting them.

"Not too long… I still have to reserve some spirit energy in case there are more powerful elders from the divine palm sect waiting outside!" Dawn said with a bitter smile on his face.
