Deadly Duo

The boys couldn't help but burst into a rain of laughter, they laugh wildly leaving Emmy and Sunny stare in confusion.

"You mean your brother? Hehehe you didn't tell us you have a brother until now."

"So sad you won't be able to stay with your brother for too long."

"Because you guys are both leaving earth tonight."

Different weapons were being summoned by the five boys after saying those words, Emmy looked with surprise, then step forward.

"I remember you saying four among them have the earth ability while their boss posses ring ability."

Emmy asked sunny who stood still as the boys summon their weapon, Emmy has also summoned his sword.

"Yes."

Sunny nodded.

Emmy stared at them a few times while the boys were throwing different comment at them challenging them to strike first.

"How many of them can you handle."

Emmy asked.

"You should be able to handle all of them."

Sunny replied a couple seconds later, his voice distant.

"Aren't you going to summon your sword? Huh wait, what do you mean by I can handle all of them."

Emmy asked but then Sunny was nowhere to be found.

All of a sudden, cold sweat ran down Emmy's spine.

'Did that bastard set me up?'

"Arghh!!"

He heard a loud scream in front of him, one of the five boys was on his knees screaming.

'Oh that his stupid ability.'

"What are you doing just standing there?"

Sunny's voice came from behind making Emmy flinch.

'I should activate my Eagle Sight.'

"Bastard, why can't you come out and fight face to face."

The leader of the boys said, charging forward with two battle axe in his hand.

"I'll handle him, use your trick on the other four." Emmy charged forward.

"Hey, I can't use it again, that was lucky because they weren't expecting it but now they'll definitely stop me."

Sunny shouted but Emmy had already clashed with the leader and at the same time, a small light ball started rolling on the floor and then the seven of them were encased in the light ball that has suddenly enlarged like a light dome.

"Shit, I knew something like this would happen."

Sunny said as the four boys charged towards him.

Now the poor boy is exposed, the dome is illuminated with bright light and thus he couldn't use shadow as a cover any more.

Emmy was also surprised to see the light dome, the boys used it so nobody would interfere their battle but they didn't know it would also counter Sunny's ability, his greatest advantage.

'He might die if I didn't help him.'

Emmy thought as he fiercely rain strikes on their leader who simply deflect them with his axe and then struck his axe at the air where five golden ring appear heading straight for Emmy. He glanced at Sunny who was already surrounded by the four boys then looked at the five ring coming his way, without wasting time, Emmy disappeared, appearing beside Sunny who seem to have lost his composure.

"Did you finish him up already."

Sunny asked.

"No, I came to help, it seems you're in trouble."

Emmy replied, for some reason, the four boys are not attacking Sunny, they just surrounded him.

"Oh, I was about to destroy them."

Sunny said awkwardly.

"I see."

Now they were surrounded by the five boys because the guy Emmy was fighting has also joined them. And as he did, Emmy received a message from his system.

'Finally.'

He sighed, this is what he had been waiting for.

[Multiple Enemies detected.]

[New Quest Received]

[Defeat them with your partner]

[Reward: 10 Exp, two new skills]

This is more reason Emmy had decided to come with Sunny, for his own selfish reason. He felt guilty.

"Cover me."

Emmy shouted as another sword appeared in his and charged toward the five boys, now he's going all out.

He swing his sword wildly making the boys move back to avoid being slash by his careless strike, Sunny seeing this also charge forward with his sword held with both hands, he struck it down as hard as he could aiming for one of the boys chest, but a wall of earth was met with the sword which shattered in shards upon making impact with it.

But that gave the boy the chance to retreat.

"It seems you guys really want death."The leader said angrily after being almost hit by Emmy's furious strike.

Standing side by side with Sunny, Emmy ignore the boy's word and turn to Sunny then said.

"How long cab you cope."

Sunny came with a crazy unexpected response.

"Let's see who did the most damage to them."

"Huh?" *, *

Emmy stared at him in bewilderment.

'This boy is really crazy.'

The boys were already upon them, golden rings flew towards them like a myriad of flies, with his sword, Emmy fought his way out and started attacking the most troublesome among the boys, their leader. He seems to be the only one with higher level of ability, that's why he kept shooting ring at them.

Emmy didn't know how Sunny escaped the myriads ring but he could see him fighting one of the four boys while the other three were already coming at Emmy to support their leader. They've realized he possess the most threat.

Disregarding the use of any battle style, Emmy fight furiously with his two swords moving like the blade of an aircraft, the boys stood no chance of getting close to him, they only had to defend themselves and at the same time, Emmy also had no chance of harming them with the way he's striking but he isn't planning to arm them, his plan was to distract the leader from using his ring ability and at the same time, harm them with their own weapon.

The eagle sight skill is still active and because of that, he could see countless circular energy coming from behind.

"Perfect."

Activating the Shadow Move skill, he teleport to the side where Sunny is fighting the last boy, he seems to be having trouble with him. Appearing besides him, Emmy struck the boy's sword back which was a few inches away from Sunny's chest, then he threw a furious kick sending the boy back to the others where they seem to be having a little problem.

Sunny was about to say something but kept quiet after seeing the situation the boys are in. There, they're fighting their way out of the myriads of ring that their leader have unleashed.

"The ring won't hold them for too long, so let's be serious now, we wasted too much time here already, so let's finish them."

Sunny looked at him in confusion.

"But you claimed not to harm them."

Sunny said.

"We have no choice, we'll just beat them till they pass out or till they can't fight again, alright?"

Emmy replied.

"Oh yeah right."

As the boys were moving forward after fighting their way out, Emmy activated Presence Of Mind, everything around him turn vague, sounds fade away, the light dome could not be seen clearly, the only clear figure he could see are the five boys and Sunny who seems to be preparing a dangerous strike on the first person to get close to him.

Emmy burst forward, he moves like a blur figure swinging his sword with clear mind, Sunny also moves behind him. One of the boys brought his great sword down on Emmy who simply block it with his sword, then, Sunny came from behind and deliver a sharp strike to the boy's chest making blood pulp, with a kick Emmy send the boy out of the way, he's not going to stand up again.

"One man down."

Sunny said with a smile.

Wasting no time, they clashed with the remaining boys, as Emmy was blocking attacks, Sunny was striking and as Sunny was blocking, Emmy was striking.

It only took them a dozen minutes to finished the boy's off, they laid motionless on the ground with their heart beating slowly, the deadly duo also received a few bruises here and there but not as severe as the boys'. They were covered in blood.

"Ah that was close, should we take their storage devices?"

Sunny asked with a strange smile on his face which made Emmy gave him a caution look.

"We don't need them, let's get out of here."

They were both on their knees staring at the boys pitiful.

The fight really didn't take much from them but it took their time because they've been unserious with the boys at the start of the fight.

Emmy stared at his system screen with a smile.
