Chapter 31 The Dark Arts

"What do you want to talk about?" Blake ask Zeke

"We want to know who is the strongest out of you too."

"I am the strongest."

"Are you sure and you want to protect the girl? There are women out there that want to fight men and if there is someone that wants to fight me then I will surely do it and I will fight them without holding back my strength."

"I see. You are the one that finds it fun to fight the strongest."

"Yes, but Beat here is the one that is stronger than me and we are friends ever since then. You think you fighting for the right side. You think you know the dream world. Think about it. There isn't anything that can help people make their dreams come true. It is false information and people need to wake up to reality and understand that there isn't anything that they can do by themselves and they must figure out that they can't win against something fake."

"What are you talking about?"

"You will understand in time."

He clashes on the ground and he had said, "Dark card arts: Destruction fist, Clock limitation."

There was a huge clock beneath his feet and he was in his stand and he told Beat that he can wait his turn until he defeats Blake.

Blake had held his sword out and he was ready to fight but he was a mage user and he needed to make sure that he can protect Amber and then Zeke charge in and Blake charge in too and he was holding his ground.

"Who sent you here?"

"Don't worry about that. I want to fight."

He punches his sword back and Blake swings his sword down toward his arm and he blocks it off his arm but Blake came back and slash it off but Zeke grew it back with some light glowing around his body and his arm.

"What was that?"

"Come on. I know that not all you got."

Zeke had hit Bake with a three-hit combo and then another one and Blake were holding his ground and he had to look at him and Zeke had planted his foot to the ground and crack the ground around Blake and then Blake had to back up and Zeke's shoulder charges him with a golden clone of himself and it sent Blake back.

"What was that?"

"You should stop looking into space."

Zeke moves forward and he said, "Dark cards arts: Airstrike punch."

It hit Blake back and Blake was feeling the pain and it was like a shooting star that was hit the earth at a high-speed rocket.

Blake had enhanced his sword and he had used his sword to put flames on it and he had slash downward on Zeke.

"You are strong."

Blake had use ice then froze Zeke's left arm but he broke the ice off and he had his fist glow up golden and he was punching Blake again and again but Blake was blocking it.

And then they had looked into each other eyes and then they had seen that both of them were fierce opponents.

"You are strong, but you will need to see the truth of the dream world."

He jumps back and then he slew up in the sky and there he had punch downward toward Blake and there was a golden impact that hit Blake's chest.

"Dammit."

Zeke had punch again and again in the air and he had strike Blake many times in the body and then Blake had slash upward and block the air attack with blue lightning. It was holding his attack back and then Zeke hit again and then Blake had blocked it again.

"I can't keep attacking him from distance. If I don't get close then I will need to close the gap and fight him without the sword and use my fist."

Blake had moved forward and then he had punched him in the face and Zeke felt the impact and then Amber move in and try to attack but then Beat step in and block her attack and Amber was better at close combat than Blake.

"You seem to know the style of combat," Beat said

Amber had held her ground and she had punched him back and he didn't have the same power as Zeke. Instead, Zeke had smoke come off his arm and his body was transparent.

"I am smoke."

"I see."

Amber try to kick him and then Beat body had disappeared and then he came behind her and she was holding her ground.

"So he can control the smoke around him and he can also be turned into smoke. It going to be hard to attack with my attacks. I got to get the inner soul of him and attack what is on the inside and not on the outside."

Amber had punched him but he just moves across like a ghost in the shadows.

"You can't hit smoke. I am darkness. I am what you see in your nightmare."

Beat had punched her and she went back and then Beat had jumped from the air and punch her head to the ground and Blake went over and then Zeke had kicked him back to the wall.

"Dammit," He said on impact from hitting the wall.

"You should give up. You strong but you lack the power to commit to something."

"We will never give up to the people of the night world."

"You will see that there is nothing that people can hide from. There are only lies and falsehood behind this. You don't ask the main questions behind the dream world. That goddess you are working for is lying to you."

"What are you talking about?"

Blake had slash downward and it was the wind that he was using and it slashes Zeke but his body heal and he punches Blake with a one-three combine and he had hit his guts and he stood back and he was coughing out blood and he had three broken ribs and he couldn't heal himself.

"You can't heal yourself when you dealing with the dark arts."

"What are you talking about?"

"We can heal and you can't heal. You are just nothing more but a normal human with normal abilities. You are weak."

"What is the dark arts?"

"The dark arts are dealing with the night world and the dream world has rainbow arts."

"What?"

"You are so clueless. If I was you then you will understand that you can't win."

"I know that but if that means I can help my friend leave then I will do it. Amber, you must go."

"No."

"Amber, you must go and get me later. Do you understand that? If you don't understand that then too bad. It not up to you to decide that and if you want to see me again then came back and become stronger."

"No, Blake. I need you."

Blake had sent Amber back and he had got off a large aura of power and he wanted to be the final stand. It up to the people to understand that this is all fake and none of this is real but a false system that will break you. It time to raise up to begin something great.

"This is it. I will start a revolution. I will begin with this attack."

"Ancient Magic: Divine Will: Light of Divine Punishment."

He poses and he had charged in and he had clashed with Zeke and he said, "You will come with us and we will show you to our master."

"Do what you must."

Blake charge in and Zeke charge in and there was a big crash and the ground around them had cracked and it was like an earthquake that shatters the ground.

Back in the real world. Amber has beaten herself up and she was crying and she was saying, "Dammit, Blake. Why!?"

"What wrong honey?"

Amber had faded and she had fallen on the ground and back in the dream world Zeke was standing over Blake's body and he was looking at a warrior.

"So this an emperor power. They not bad but they didn't even know about the arts and the false lies that were told by the goddess. We better take him back because this will be in the dark but it going to get excited very soon."

They went back to the night world and in the real world Amber was waking up from the fade dream and she has seen that Blake was taken away and she woke up and she was trying to reach for Blake.

"Blake."

"Huh?" Lillen said

"What is our doing here? I need to see about Blake."

"Relax."

"Okay."

"I need to get to him." Amber was crying and she was holding her fists.
