Chapter 12: The Voidssenger and the Kid (3)

"What the heck is going on? What's up with the black smoke? D, explain me what is going!" Kyle asked with a panicking expression as he was looking around.

"How good are you at acrobatics?" D asked as he completely ignored Kyle's panicking expression.

"Huh!?"

"How good are you at acrobatics?" D asked once again uncaring of his expression.

"Excuse me?" Kyle asked as he had a confused expression.

"I asked how good are you at acrobatics. Don't make me repeat that for a fourth time." D answered seriously as he slowly frowning.

"P-Pretty good without any tools. Backflips, frontflips, cartwheels, rolls, you name it." Kyle answered a bit nervously.

"Good, saves me the trouble to teach you that then." D tilted his hat quickly before adding:

"Now, before the bad boys come here, let me teach you something important quickly, because what I am about to teach you, is something that can be applied a lot more commonly that you might think."

"Uhhh... And what might that be?" Kyle asked with apprehension.

"If you want to bend nature to your will, use your imagination to control it and give it form."

"Uhhh... What? What do you mean?"

"Just close your eyes for a bit. You'll see what I mean soon enough." Once D said that, Kyle reluctantly closed his eyes. In that moment, D started glow with a purple light around him and as he was doing so, he quickly asked Kyle:

"Do you feel it Kyle? Try to sense the change in the air."

As he was emitting the purple light, Kyle was still feeling a bit confused about what he should be feeling. He could hear D's voice, he could feel the clothes with his body, he could smell the air and taste his own saliva, but he did feel that there was something different, but he couldn't put it easily to words. The most accurate way he could put it to words, would be akin to some sort of warm mist being emitted from a sphere. He could feel that this sphere wasn't only at the place with the warm mist, but it was also inside him, somewhere in the middle of his chest.

"I am feeling something, that much I'm sure of. Can't say what it is though." Kyle answered as he was focusing on the warm mist.

"Good. For now, keep focusing on your closest place where that something is and imagine as if you are extracting something from it."

Once D finished his sentence, Kyle then tried to imagine that warm mist was being extracted from the sphere inside him. To his surprise, that warm mist was actually extracted and was starting to disperse the further away from the sphere it was.

"Keep it up, you are halfway done. Now just imagine that you are using that something and shape it into anything you can think of."

Once D finished his sentence again, Kyle then started to imagine that this mist was transforming into another sphere, since that was the first thing to come into his mind. As Kyle was imagining that, a black orb started to assimilate in front of him and in a few seconds, it started having a purple luster around it.

"Alright Kyle, open up your eyes, no need to keep them closed."

The moment Kyle opened his eyes, the first thing his eyes saw, was the purplish black orb that was floating right in front of him and that caused to him to fall back in surprise.

"What the heck? What is that black ball in the air?" Kyle asked with a panicking expression.

"That is a Dark Orb. A non-offensive Darkness spell that any magician can use in their free time or to practise with. What do you think we have been doing this entire time?" D explained in a casual manner, as he was circling around the Dark Orb, before it disappeared.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a bloody minute. You aren't serious right now, are you?" Kyle asked nervously.

"I'm as serious as a sniper when he can confirm the perfect moment for the kill."

"Urgh... Tsk... Can... Can you not mention those bastards in front of me?" Kyle asked with a twisted expression as he was feeling a knot on his chest that was discomforting him.

"Who? Snipers?" D asked slightly confused as he crossed his arms.

" *huff* Yeah! *puff* Those guys. *huff* Don't. *puff* Mention them. *puff* " Kyle answered more distressed as he was slowly hyperventilating.

"Anyways, that was Magic and-"

*awoooooo*

The moment that cry was heard, D quickly took his blades out and then said quickly:

"Kyle, it seems the time from preparations is up. I would have liked to tell you more right now, but we have company right now."

"Wait, what? What do you-" Before Kyle could even finish his sentence, D suddenly interrupted him and added:

"Before we fight though, I have two things to say right now. One, that shape can be changed with your imagination into anything you want, including weapons and such. And two, remember that you have a chance to survive now, you won't be getting cheap-shot out of nowhere. So remember these, stare at Death with a smile your face and punch him square onto his grill."

Once he finished saying that, glowing eyes suddenly appeared from the dark mist and before long, the entire area was filled with glowing eyes. Once Kyle saw that, he felt like his legs were close to giving out and collapsing, he felt like his heart was about to explode from anxiety, he felt like a cold chill had crawled up on his spine, but he also felt like smiling.

'Is this it again? Dying once again unfairly?'

'Is this really how I'm going to die, once again?' *ba-thump*

'Is this going to be my cause of death? Getting mauled by beasts?' *ba-thump*

As was having those thoughts, he felt that something deep inside him, was crawling out slowly.

'No. No. No, there's no way this happening right now.' *ba-thump*

As he thought that, a black figure instantly emerged and charged instantly towards Kyle.

'No way. No way. No way.' *badam*

As that figure was charging quickly towards Kyle, its form became quickly more distinct and withing a couple of seconds, it changed into the form of a wolf with sharp claws and fangs.

'Getting eat by a wolf?' *dam dam dam*

Slowly, time seemed like started to slow down for Kyle, as everything around him started to slow down.

'Is this truly the end for me?' *dam dam dam*

As the wolf was getting closer to Kyle, so did his heartbeat rate started increase.

'No. I refuse.' *dam dam dam*

The moment that though went through his head, his hand started gathering the mist quickly.

'I refuse to accept this.'

'I refuse to accept such an end.'

*BA-DUMP*

"I REFUSE TO DIE RIGHT NOW!" At that moment, a purplish black arrow suddenly appeared in his hand and then he quickly shot his hand forward. As he did that, the black arrow shot itself forward as well, entered into the wolf's mouth and then came out of its rear. The moment the arrow came out of the rear of the wolf, the wolf quickly disintegrated into dust and then D suddenly smiled as he commented quietly:

"First blood."
