Tracking Them Down

"Your ability is impressive, I'll give you that," Nolan said as he slowly walked forward.

About twenty meters from him stood a dark-robed figure, with chains trailing down from his arms.

One could see his turbid-looking eyes containing slight shock from beneath his robes as Nolan stepped forth, a milky white light flaring on his right, a dagger appearing in his palm.

"Unfortunately, this is where it ends..." Nolan finished.

"Tch, in your dreams, piece of trash!" the figure shouted loud as he became a mass of shadows that rapidly moved toward Nolan like a phantom, the dark chain whipping straight for Nolan's face.

Nolan's smirk widened to his ears.

"You all never learn, do you?"

KABOOM

"PUUCCCHIII"

"Ahhhh---"

What followed in the next instant was a fiery loud explosion, followed by a blade piercing into flesh and a cut-off scream.
