Chapter 66:

Turning the Tide

Veil of the Shadow Hunter


Leegna stood at the edge of the crumbling building, his figure a dark silhouette against the neon haze of the city below. The fight had reached its apex, and he was now a force of nature, a cold and determined warrior unleashing his full potential. Unlec, with his gun in hand, was providing critical support, firing precise shots that helped thin the ranks of their enemies. The eyeless creature moved with a spectral grace, both protecting and attacking, its dark form a blur as it intercepted blows and struck down foes.

The enemies, dark and shadowy beings from the Dark Embassy, were relentless. They tried to invade Leegna's mind, seeking to crush his spirit and unravel his resolve. But Leegna was undeterred. His confidence had been bolstered by the recent victories and his growing mastery over his powers. He stood tall, his eyes dark blue and piercing, seeing through the murkiness of their shadows.

The attackers soon realized the futility of their mental assaults. Their eyes flickered with a mix of fear and frustration. Recognizing Leegna as the greatest threat, they redirected their focus towards Unlec, hoping to weaken him and create an opening. Unlec, caught off guard, barely managed to dodge a vicious strike. He stumbled, nearly falling off the edge of the building. As he tried to regain his footing, he hit his head hard against the rough concrete and lost consciousness.

The attackers, believing they had gained the upper hand, surged forward with renewed aggression. They underestimated Leegna's resolve. His heart pounded with a cold fury, his mind clear and sharp. The enemies' attempt to exploit Unlec's vulnerability only steeled Leegna's determination. He was not just fighting for survival; he was fighting to protect those who fought alongside him and to fulfill his own destiny.

With a deep breath, Leegna harnessed the full might of his contract power. His dark blue eyes flared brightly, casting an eerie light that cut through the darkness. He could see the weaknesses of his foes as if they were etched in plain sight. His rapier, coated in dark, shadow-like matter, gleamed with a deadly promise. Each swing of the weapon was precise, each thrust calculated to exploit the enemies' vulnerabilities.

The rapier sliced through the enemies with a clean efficiency, its blade moving with a speed and precision that left no room for error. Shadows writhed and disintegrated, celestial beings faltered and crumbled. The attackers, once confident in their numbers, were now being dismantled by Leegna's relentless assault.

As the last of the enemies fell, the battlefield fell silent except for the distant hum of the city. Leegna, breathing heavily but resolute, turned his gaze towards Unlec. The young man was still unconscious but alive. The eyeless creature, having done its part, hovered protectively near Leegna.

Leegna's mind raced. The battle had been fierce, but he had triumphed. He had proven himself capable of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds. Yet, a nagging thought lingered in his mind. The enemies' sudden focus on Unlec, the way they had tried to exploit his weakness—was there something more to it? Why had they targeted him so aggressively?

As he stood amidst the wreckage of the fight, his eyes still dark blue, Leegna felt a sense of grim satisfaction. He had turned the tide in their favor, but the war was far from over. He had to remain vigilant and prepared for whatever came next. The rapier in his hand felt like a part of him now, a symbol of his growing power and resolve.

The battle was over for now, but Leegna knew that the true fight was only just beginning. He was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that he was not alone. With Unlec and the eyeless creature by his side, he was determined to uncover the truth, fulfill his destiny, and stand against the darkness that threatened the realms.

Having the power and the comrades in battle was crucial now , but Leegna didn't forgot about Yuj , thus he had a bit of confused thought coming up to him , where he remembered the manipulative nature of Yuj - and him wanting to use Leegna but at the same time now it seems like they both use each other ...

Will their goals collide , or will they face one against another, only time will tell .
