As he flew from the momentum, John appeared over him was again, with an Axe kick in motion, landing perfectly in the middle of his face before he was slammed straight down onto wooden floor of a shop they had broke through…

The black haired man gasped in pain as John proceeded to throw him up in the air and massacre him.

He shadow stepped above him, while using light to fill the room and prevent him from being able to use his magic. Before slashing straight at his neck.

In that moment, using every ounce of will power he had Left he was able to avoid it by tilting his body mid air, however not fully.

*Slash* *Spurt*

Blood spurted out of the man's neck as he felt a dagger pierce his back. John had vanished once again.

Confused and in pain, he quickly turned around with his arms engulfed in a pure red flame, so that he could scorch John alive, only to see that he was gone once again. His eyes widened as he could tell it was going to end in the next move.

"Black hole.

"

*VOOOM!*

A black form was quickly formed and instantly dispersed leaving nothing behind.

"Tsk, got away.

" John muttered as he clicked his tongue

The instant the black hole had formed all light from the room got sucked inside. He used that opportunity to enter his shadow.

As he did this however he had his middle finger pointed at John and a nervous grin on his face. John could have stopped him, but didn't as he could deal with it at any time.

But that was only as long as he didn't go berserk. John felt something while fighting the guy. It was the presence of a demon, something which he knew clearly.

He had also learned that dark spirit inside of him was a demon and there were countless other demons. Including the one outside right now.

John shadow stepped outside to go finish the other man off. And the instant he did, he raised his guard with both daggers, blocking a sword swing just as he did so.

*CLANG!*

It was heavy, so much that it sent John flying back through the roads. As he was about to Shadow step to strike back, he noticed that his hands were still trembling from the impact, and in that instant.

*THRUST!* *CRASH*

He was suddenly impaled as he was stabbed and forced down into the ground. It was fast, way too fast.

John's blood began to flow down his mouth as he could feel his energy getting sucked out of him. He grabbed onto the sword to pull it out but had no luck, it was etched deeply into his chest, barely missing his heart.

That didn't make it any less painful. The sword had entered one side and left before digging into the ground on the other.

He stared at the person who had just done this, and noticed something off the moment he did. A dark scaly Armour covering his whole body, two horns at the front and a helmet which showed glowing red eyes inside.

The presence inside the Armour was the same as that of the bright sword, He became a completely different person.

Dark Flames began to gather at the top of the sword, indicating that he was about to finish him off, when suddenly John raised his hand and pointed it towards him.

"Black hole.

" He uttered

In that instant, a black hole was formed there and then, right beside the Dark knight, however to John's surprise, nothing happened.

And after realizing why, he let out a sigh. It wasn't the first time he had encountered someone who could withstand the black hole, they were able to survive it because they possessed a sacred treasure with anti-magic properties.

John hadn't heard from that person in a long time, and being in that situation had reminded him of it. Making him quite happy in the process of all the pain.

Once the dark knight had finished gathering dark flames at the top of the blade, he decided to finish it all at once, in one single burst.

John was pinned down and immobilized, no matter what, it was over for him.

"Die.

" The voice which came from the inside of the Armour commanded as before the sword burst down in flames.

In that instant, Earth spikes rose up, all aiming to pierce the dark knight's Armour, yielding no effect as it did so.

However, that was a distraction which had surprised the dark knight for but a single second. It was enough for John however, He sunk down into the ground, ignoring the mind numbing pain of the sword leaving his body as he sunk further and further down.

After the sword had let his body. Steam began to leave out of his wound. However, as this happened, a wave of dark flames were quickly making their way down the hole John had formed on his descent and forgot to close.

Because of this, John closed the earth above him, before propelling himself through the earth and doing a curve inside of it before leaping through and out.

He looked like some kind of earth fish with the way he flowed through the land. It was as if he was one with it, however, what waited for him outside however didn't seem to care.

John broke through the ground, onto the roads again, only to get attacked the instant he did

*Clang*

Another heavy and fast swing which he parried, however right as he was propelled back from the impact. It was followed up by another swing from the dark knight.

Only to miss and end up cutting through the air, as John used the wind to propel himself further back.

But that was it's objective, not even a second after the swing was completed. Dark Flames with the shape of the swing were propelled straight at John.

John was in the air, the one way to avoid it would be to propel himself away from it using wind magic. However, he took the riskier option and shadow stepped beneath the dark knight and before grabbing onto his legs.

However, the instant he did so. Dark spikes ejected out of the Armour's leggings, piercing both Of John's hands in the process.

In that instant, the dark knight thrust his sword down to finish John off. John watched as the sword, made it's way towards his right eye.

This time it was definitely over, there was no way he'd be able to dodge in that situation. Or so the dark knight thought, until it heard it.

*Tic*

And just like that, he ended up hitting into thin air, John was no longer there.

Confused, the dark knight turned to look behind him, where he could feel John's presence when suddenly it lowered it's guard.

Blood spurted out from the inside of the Armour, letting the dark knight know that it had suffered internal wounds.

It's right arm which it used to hold the sword was broken. And it had been slashed through the faintest gaps in the Armour.

All of this happened in a fraction of a second.

"Fulgurationem, Modero, Propero.

" Said John from behind the dark knight.

He then placed the edge of his dagger next to the white knight's Armour covered neck as he threatened it.

"Let him go, and I won't kill you.

" Said John as Lightning flowed through his body.

He had spoken at a much faster and incomprehensible speed as he had Sloan down time for others and sped up time for his own self, so the dark knight most likely didn't understand a single word he had said.

Despite that, the dark knight's next move showed that it showed no signs of letting the body go.

His Armour began to turn and both look more lively as something began to move inside of it, changing it's outer structure as it did so.

It moved around the whole Armour, stretching and compressing the Armour out as it did so.

As this happened, the Armour's helmet began to move around uncontrollably and disorderedly making the impression of it being possessed much bigger.

John then watched as the Dark knight hung it's head and became completely motionless. Seeing this, John stretched his arm out to the bright sword, only for it to get sliced off the instant he did so.

*Slash*

John watched as his arm fell to the ground. As this happened, the helmet began to resemble less of a helmet and more of a monster's face as it's mouth opened and it let out a loud roar.

It was an ear-piercing war cry which alerted many throughout the city. While the dark knight was distracted with it's roar. John shadow stepped over to his hand, and grabbed it before he muttered.

"Then… Death.

"

As he said that, he placed his fingers on top of his blindfold before pulling it down.
