Help?

Logan was running as fast as he could to get help but he could only see so much in this slightly dark area.

He cursed out loud after having fallen down to many twigs and branches but still stood up every time, he had to get help, he just could not leave someone willing to risk their life for him hanging 'Well not risking his life'.

As Logan was about to continue his run after falling once again to a branch, he suddenly stopped, as he slowly got up from the ground.

But looking at him one would notice something extremely strange, maybe it was because of the dark swamp he was in but his golden eyes were faintly glowing.

He seemed to be under the influence of the golden light emanating from him, strands of golden light emanated from his eyes as it made him look something like a ghost to the darkness all around him with only his two orbs of golden light being seen.

As though being under control, Logan suddenly stepped forward and moved at an unprecedented speed. The ground that was beneath him suddenly cracked open as rock shards flew randomly. in an instant Logan had moved more than a hundred meters from where he was standing previously.

A white light flashed and Logan could be seen standing beside a faintly glowing pale blue stone, it looked like a marble. 'A beast core!'

Logan thought, that although he was being controlled he still had his rationality.

He slowly brought it closer to his mouth.

"..."

'What the f**k am I doing? Wasn't it said that if you swallow one of these you'll surely die?' Logan was sure he had read something like that but he could not stop himself from bringing it closer to his mouth.

'Noooooooo' Logan screamed but could not scream aloud, he shut his eyes tightly as he swallowed the pale blue core.

Waiting...

Time passed and logan didn't feel the tyrannical surge of energy that was meant to destroy him and shatter his being rather he felt like an emptiness inside him was slowly filling up.

'Am I dead?' he pondered as he slowly opened his eyes but was met with only the darkness.

He felt something about him had changed but since he wasn't in control of his body he couldn't check it out.

His controlled body moved like a zombie and slowly placed his hand on his face. Soon a bright orange light emanated from it.

'It's fire right? Someone tell me I'm not dreaming! That's fire right?!! What am I doing?' Fire appeared out of thin air on Logan's hand, he wasn't with a lighter that he could light up fire and he could feel the heat of the fire on his hand so he knew it was definitely real.

Logan placed his hand on his face as the fire slowly spread from his hands and to his face, from his face it slowly spread to his legs and to every other part of his body.

"Fire! Fire! So hot! I'm going to die at this rate"

"Wait, not hot! Not hot at all' Logan realised that he was just exaggerating for nothing at all, although the flame seemed to be burning all over his body making him look like a flame god he wasn't feeling any slight discomfort rather it felt exhilarating.

Suddenly his body moved at an unprecedented speed once again, the only thing that could be seen was a bright flash of light. if someone had seen the speed at which he moved they would definitely think that it was some grandmaster level cultivator that was rushing off to somewhere.

After sending out a barrage of wind blades Jason countered most of them with his dual swords as flame ignited on them both making then seem like two flaming swords.

He swung them and sent out an attack as he bent slightly to the west to dodge another with a blade that threatened to harm his handsome face.

"How dare you try to harm this handsome ladies man? It seems all the ugly men in this world had hired you, their leader, to stop me from conquering all the women, but would you be able to stop me?

Huh, what's that tree?" Jason asked as he bent his head slightly to lean on the tree as though listening for answers.

"No!" the tree answered, but one should already know that it was Jason who answered changing the pitch of his voice slightly to sound much lighter.

He turned around again. "See? Even the trees know you won't be able to stop me"

While Jason displayed his act the black-clothed figure did not dare approach because he was afraid that Logan and Jason were hatching a plan to hit him with a surprise attack.

He could only crack his knuckles in frustration and anger as he attacked with the 'Dark swamp' the reason he hadn't used the attack again was because of the consumption it had on his essence reserves, he had been using minor skill while popping some pills into his mouth and not he finally had enough essence reserves to execute it and end the battle.

Darkness swirled around him as they slowly encircled Jason who was about to start another round of curses.

"No, not this!" Jason created another ball of fire a larger one this time around as he sent it forth.

The orange ball of fire collided with the darkness that was slowly spreading, nut the darkness continued unabated eating away at the fire ball.

It continued relentlessly as it seemed to have eaten the entire fire in its part heading for the exhausted Jason.

Jason slightly brushed his hair to his back as he took the pose of a model "It seems the time for this handsome soul to die has finally come!"

"Logan!!!

Logan!!!

Oh Logan bro, what we would have accomplished together in this world filled with beauties. " Jason lamented.

The darkness soon collided with the exhausted Jason as it slowly began to eat up his hand, Jason passed out due to the pain and the discomfort he was feeling.

"You can't die that easily! Not after all you have done and said to me about me and my Annabelle" the figure said as he stopped the attack seeing that Jason had passed out.

He created multiple wind blades at his fingertips as he fired them towards Jason.

Tac!

Tac!

Tac!

They struck his ribs and a pool of blood poured out from the open hole, Jason woke up slightly but immediately passed out once again.

As the dark man was about to continue attacking once again he realised he couldn't.

Well because of the figure before him. He was about to attack when, like a boulder, a figure descended raising dust into the air.

All the man could see was a slightly orange color amidst the dust created by the crash-landing figure, he immediately became alert.

He watched as the dust slowly cleared revealing an orange figure in flames.

"An elemental beast?" he was slightly surprised but quickly composed himself.
