Determination

Calming down, Darknik thought of his options. He could go to his dad and ask him for help, but he didn't want to talk to him. If he told his mom, she would just tell his dad. He doesn't trust the Enforcers.

'I'm pretty strong myself.' Thinks Darknik. 'The only reason I failed to grab Sinteria is because I was caught off guard and I didn't have enough time to infuse my Klent.'

Darknik drank the bottle of liquid, not before checking it of course. He instantly felt better, and he got up and walked along the road briskly, saving the rest of the liquid for later.

Arriving at Helios Tavern, Darknik started infusing Klent into his all of his limbs. even though it wasn't fast since he was infusing Klent into multiple places at the same time, he would have enough time to accumulate a proper amount.

Darknik opened the door to the tavern. Inside was a dinky and damp place with brown wooden floorboards and walls, with a few brown tables and stools. Behind the counter was a small robot cleaning an empty glass.

Darknik announced his presence by speaking.

"Hello, can you tell me where Jon is?" The robot turned towards Darknik

"Hello, that would be me." The robot said in a robotic and squeaky voice. Darknik went straight to the point.

"Missing." The robot stopped cleaning the glass before it put it down slowly.

"Please come here." Darknik slowly walked towards the robot, but once he was by the counter, a trapdoor opened up and he fell down through it!

Darknik had an impulse to scream, but he didn't because he knew that if he screamed, the enemy would know he is coming. Soon, Darknik fell down into a net, then safely dropped down onto the ground.

Darknik used his energy to make his fall quiet, so nobody heard him. In front of him were six men in blackish brown cloaks. each of them had a sword and Sinteria was in a corner of them room, tied up but still conscious.

Sinteria looked in Darknik's direction, widening her eyes, which alerted one of the men watching her. Before the man could turn around, Darknik dashes behind him and punched him in the back, sending him flying across the room.

Before any of the other men could react, Darknik used his Klent infused legs to move faster than usual, kicking and punch three more men, knocking them out. The remaining men looked at Darknik with a gaze full of anger as they unsheathed their swords and rushed towards Darknik with a murderous intent.

Darknik dodged one of the swords but was nicked in the shoulder by the other. Ignoring the pain, released the pent up Klent, creating a shockwave that sent both of the men fifteen feet back, unconscious.

Turning back to Sinteria, Darknik walked over to her, then started untying her. once he took the gag out of her mouth, Sinteria yelled.

"Behind you!!" Darknik turned around, but was too late, as his chest got slashed open, blood gushing everywhere. Sinteria shrieked, and Darknik yelled out in pain. The man who slashed him kicked Darknik, sending Darknik rolling across the ground.

Darknik shakily got up, only to see the men who he knocked out get up to fight him. Darknik grew scared. He knew that even if he knocked them out, they would just get up, as he saw armor underneath the cloaks.

He needed to kill them, but he was too scared to. He thought killing was wrong. Then he remembered his conversation with his mom.

'Don't blame yourself, since he was a bad person then he deserves it, you shouldn't feel guilty.' Yes, he shouldn't feel guilty. Growing determined, Darknik summoned his scythe, casting a red light over his eyes which eyed the men like a hawk staring at a predator.

Darknik's irises grew bigger, the diamond iris growing more prominent. The flame on Darknik's scythe turned blood red, roaring for blood. Even though he was still scared, he knew he had to protect Sinteria, and fight for his life. It's not his fault because they started it first.

The men watching him shuddered, but the one who slashed him across his chest ran towards Darknik, raising his sword to slash. The last thing he saw was that five-year-old child with red hair swinging his scythe, a headless body that looked suspiciously like his own.

The rest of the men were horrified. They were told that the child wouldn't kill any of them, so they didn't need to worry. Now one of their comrades is dead.

Not giving them a chance to think, Darknik sprinted to the nearest man, cutting his body in half after infusing his Klent into his scythe. The men finally snapped out of their daze as they all rush towards Darknik at the same time.

Darknik created a sphere of blood around one man's head, suffocating him, and slid under the other men, cutting off the legs on one of them in the process.

"AHHHHHH!! YOU BASTARD KID!!" Yelled the man who had his legs cut off. Darknik responded by jumping onto the wall before rebounding off of it, landing on the legless man's head, crushing it.

One of the men finished casting a spell after Darknik crushed the legless one's head, and sent a rope made out of rock towards Darknik. Darknik dodged the rope, but the rope suddenly changed its angle, latching onto Darknik's foot and keeping his leg attached to the floor.

The final man jumped towards Darknik and stabbed at him, but Darknik leaned back, making the man fly over him. Darknik threw his scythe directly at the man, stabbing through his head and puncturing his brain. Even if he survived that attack, he would be a vegetable for the rest of his life.

The final man threw his sword at Darknik, but Darknik dodged. While Darknik was busy dodging, the man rushed Darknik and threw a punch at him. Darknik grabbed his arm and twisted it, causing the man to open his mouth and scream, not before Darknik punched him straight in his mouth though.

Darknik broke the man's teeth, causing his throat to be punctured and bleed, making the man choke on his own blood.

Tired, Darknik was about to turn around and go to Sinteria, but a seventh man hidden in the walls slid out, stabbing at Darknik with a dagger!

Before the man could stab Darknik, an icicle Skewered his chest, opening a hole that showed his intestines. Looking to the direction of the icicle, Darknik saw Sinteria vomiting and crying while holding her hand up that still had frost on it.

Relieved, Darknik fell to the ground, unconscious.
