On A Different Level

Darius and Theo prepared themselves to face the beasts, it didn't seem like it was something anyone would want to think of doing but then it was not something anyone would be able to pull off. 

"How on earth are we going to take down these things?" Theo was looking at the Blue Cobra knowing that there were things that he would not even attempt but he was looking at the Cobra and all he could think of was a way out of the mess. 

Darius was looking at the patterns the cobra attacked them and he noticed something, it would be the best move. 

"Theo, the red cobra is the one sending the blue after us. We need to break their synchronization," Darius took a stance and pulled out his swords looking at the cobra. 

"Okay, how on earth are we going to do that? they aren't going to let us hit them now are they?" Theo readied his spear, he was certain that there was something Darius had spotted for him to say that. 

Darius grinned as he took a stance, "Just follow my lead!"

Darius took off, rushing for the blue cobra. Theo stood there looking at Darius as he took off with such inhumane speed, he was not sure if trusting Darius like that was a good idea. 

'He is not ordinary, his speed and everything. I don't know what he is but if trusting him would be able to get me out of this place then I would have to!' 

Theo charged he was not in the best shape but he was going to make sure that he wouldn't be the one to hold back the attack. 

The Blue Cobra noticed both warriors coming for it with such speed, that it brought out its hood letting out a roar- the roar from the Blue Cobra made Theo freeze at a spot as he was trying to shake himself free from the holds of the monster. 

"Damn it! What is this?!" 

Theo looked up to see that Darius was right in front of the cobra, and from the looks of it he had something up his sleeve. 'Now what is he going to do?' 

{Notice: The Blue Cobra has activated gorgon's roar, a skill that freezes prey at a spot and doesn't let them move.} 

'Unlock the skill I gained from putting down the Nubian Lion!' Darius was dodging the rocks the Cobra's roar was pushing down, he leaped right in front of the Cobra. 

{King's Aura converting into the special move- Dragon's Glare!} 

"Here goes nothing; Dragonic Blast!" Darius let out his roar, shaking the cave even more than the cobras did, covering the enter cave with an immerse aura, his roar collided with the cobra's roar causing a massive shockwave in the cave. A dark crimson aura emitted from Darius' body as his eyes glowed bright red. 

"Dragon's Glare!" The air twisted as an image of a dragon could be seen forming behind Darius.

The cobra coiled up hissing in pain, its body shaking as it slammed around the cave walls, compared to its strength Darius' roar and glare disoriented it. It broke its skill allowing Theo to move a bit. 

"That man is not F rank or even an A rank like me! He might be one of the strongest S ranks I have seen!" Theo picked up his pace, breathing heavily as he launched himself towards the cobra, he had gotten an idea of what Darius was trying to do. 

Darius readied his sword, he turned to look at Theo. "Now!" 

Both warriors attacked the cobra at the same time, both delivering barrages of strikes on the serpent. Hitting its weak spot not giving it a chance to even fight back. 

"Zerions Bullets!" Theo yelled as he increased his speed, attacking the cobra with everything he had. 

Darius struck relentlessly, his blade flashing as he didn't give the cobra a chance to recover. 

{Savage Strike Activated!} 

"Arhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" 

Both warriors yelled their souls out as they kept delivering rapid attacks, the blue cobra using its tail managed to take down another chunk of the cave trying to push the warriors away. 

Darius leaped into the air, his eye locked on the Blue Cobra's head. "Theo, get out of the way!" 

Theo looked up to see Darius, he didn't know what but he had seen enough to know that when the man says to move aside there is no other thing but to do as he says. He leaped backward. "She's all yours!" 

Darius had transferred energy into the gauntlets he was wearing, holding both his swords. "Here goes one reckless stunt!" 

"Whirly Slash!" Darius spun himself midair, and like a cyclone, he went down on the Blue cobra's head shattering its skull, the impact sent a huge wave across the cave and it was like a huge meteor had hit the cave. 

Theo watched the whole thing, he couldn't understand what he had witnessed. It was not something any warrior would even be able to do. 

'It is not the fact that he has the raw power, he also can back it up. this man might be something that I don't even want to understand in a normal sense.' Theo stood there in shock, he was not sure if he had seen any warrior able to possess such power. 

Darius landed close to the cobra, he was almost out of breath looking at the beast they had managed to take down. 

{Notice: Blue Cobra has been defeated! Obtain the Core.} 

Darius walked close to the blue cobra, he harvested the core before absorbing the powers. 

{Processing Special Skills- Gorgon's Roar obtained! Converting to Wryms Roar... 

New Skill gained--- Predator's instincts 

Resistance to Poison Added! 

Speed Increased by 40 points! 

Armour increased by 40 points!

'Woah, so it was that strong?' Darius was a bit shocked given that the blue cobra didn't give them much trouble. 

'The blue cobra is not just a normal serpent, thanks to the help you got you were able to subdue it.' Azree told Darius, he turned to look at Theo who was trying to catch his breath.

'Can I heal him? Is that possible?' Darius was trying to know what he would be able to do to help Theo. 

'It is possible, you can heal him by 30%.' Azree gave him a quick answer. 

Darius walked close to Theo, he placed his hand on his back. 

"What in the world are you doing?" Theo was trying to shake his hand off his back not knowing what Darius was trying to do. 

"Would you relax?! I am not trying to kill you." Darius was trying to get him to stay put. 

{Heal Warrior? Yes/No} 

'Yes please.' 

Darius' hand glowed as he healed Theo by 30%, Theo stopped moving when he noticed that the pain reducing. 

'Is he healing me?! How can he do that?' Theo wondered as he touched his body to feel the pain he got from facing Nathan and the ghouls were gone a bit. 

"There, you have enough strength for this next one." Darius pulled out his sword again, he was ready for the red cobra to make its move. 

Theo lost in awe with all he was witnessing knew that there was nothing he would even hold onto as the truth now. 

He clenched his spear knowing that what he had seen was beyond strength, he was not like the other warriors he had seen. 'This man, he is on a whole different level.' 

{Warning: The Red Cobra is Angry!} 

The red cobra had witnessed its companion's death, it let out a menacing roar, and it was stronger than the Blue Cobra's roar. The cave shook from its core more of that then it would collapse. 

{Warning: The Red Cobra Is Agitated! It is releasing Greater Skill: Primal Territory!} 

Darius was looking at the red cobra, he knew that this was going to be harder than facing the blue in many ways, Theo was managing not to pass out because he was a bit close to Darius. 

'This is not funny,' Darius was looking at the beast, he was not going to do anything rash this time. 

'I suggest you work with the warrior again, the Red Cobra will not be the kind of foe the blue was and it would most definitely end you if there is any mistake.' Azree chimed in. 

Darius got a deadpan look on his face, he was not even sure that he would do anything to weaken the beast. 

'That is quite the confidence boost Azree.' 

Darius turned to look at Theo, he seemed ready to fight. 

"That thing looks angry, what are your thoughts." He looked at Darius. 

Darius let out a sigh, he was not sure what he was going to say but he was not going to make Theo feel like they weren't going to win. "We are going to have a hard time that one down! We need to make sure that…." 

{Warning Attack Incoming!} 

'Shit!' Darius turned to see if he was going to be able to stop the attack before it hit but it was futile. 

The red cobra sent a mouth full of acidic ooze toward Darius covering the warrior's body. 

"Darius, no!" Theo cried out.
