Chapter 9 The Dark Essence

Chapter 9

Crystal Rodriquez could be seen standing on a black river while Present in a barren world, Covered with nothing but pure darkness, Crystal Rodriquez's looks were paled as she stood with no expression on her face.

Her neck was slitted and bloods gushed out of her neck, Dropping down on the Black River!!

A Red Light appeared on the air and The Woman of Darkness, Cladded in red robe came down from the sky while sitted on her floating Throne, Her eyes were pure red while her face was covered in red silk.

" What am I doing here...Am I...? " Crystal Rodriquez couldn't complete her statement.

" DEAD? I WOULDN'T SAY THAT YOU ARE TRULY DEAD BUT GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU STAND NO CHANCE AGAINST THE CONFRATERNITY, THEY ARE SUPERIOR SPIRITS AND THEY WOULD BE WEAK IF THEY COULDN'T KILL YOU NOW "

" IT IS TOO EARLY TO DIE, CRYSRAL RODRIQUEZ....I WILL BE LENDING YOU MY POWER ALONG WITH THE HATRED OF A THOUSAND MEN, THIS WILL SUFFICE " The Lady said when she Stretched forth her hand towards Crystal.

" YOU ARE TOO EARLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR POWER SO I SHAL GIVE YOU MINE, THIS WILL LEAVE YOU INSANE BUT THAT'S ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU ALIVE, THE FIRST STAGE OF HER COMING IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!! " The Lady said and darkness Engulfed Crystal Rodriquez and her eyes immediately turned pitch black.

The Two Dark Spirits stared at themselves before Gazing at the two bodies lying down before them, Princess Amaya has already been knocked Unconscious by the heavy blood and the shock of her hand been chopped off.

Crystal Rodriquez on the other hand laid down the ground with a hole in her chest and her neck was slitted, The Two Dark Spirits slowly approaches Crystal Rodriquez when they turned to Princess Amaya.

" The Girl is of no use to us...She is a human, Kill her!! " The First Figure said.

She bent down, Grabbed Crystal Rodriquez and she lifted Crystal Rodriquez up and placed her on his shoulder, The Second Figure slowly approached Princess Amaya who laid down Unconscious on the ground.

He Stretched forth his hand and a dark spear immediately appeared on The Spirit's Hand, Gazing at Princess Amaya with deep hatred, The Dark Spirit made to stab her right through the chest when.....

" What...Just... Happened? " The Dark Spirit asked himself as he turned to see his right hand has been chopped off, He slowly turned when Crystal Rodriquez came at him with superior speed, The Spirit bent down.

He evaded the incoming kick of Crystal Rodriquez when Crystal landed on the ground, she stood beside Princess Amaya and The Dark Spirit turned to face his partner who's hands were sliced off by Crystal Rodriquez.

" NO ONE TOUCHES MY BEST FRIEND AND GETS AWAY WITH IT, YOU FILTHY CREATURES ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS " The Voice of Crystal Rodriquez echoed throughout the Realm and darkness lurks into the scene.

The Two Dark Spirits slowly stood up from the ground to see Crystal Rodriquez Gazing at them with her eyes already clouded in Darkness, The Hole on her chest remains but her slitted throat healed up afterwards.

" Is that Ashura's....No, That Woman is Involved with this " The First Dark Spirit stated as he created new hands after his hands were chopped off, Crystal Rodriquez places her hand on Amaya's chest and the bleeding stopped.

But she still remains Unconscious and the Two Dark Spirits attacks in unison!!

Royd Tower did a stunning back flip and he evaded the Demonic claws Released Against him, The Four Dark Spirits attacks with their full force but he continues to evade their attacks with his speed.

Royd Tower bounced back when two Red Demonic Hands appeared on the air, The Hands charged at him with full speed but he leapt and he landed on the Demonic Hands like a ninja and he swung his blade.

Slicing down the hands within seconds...A Shark Head emerges from the ground with the attempt to devour Royd Tower when he escaped the attack and he sliced off the head with his sword.

A Dark Spirit Merging into the darkness attacks from behind when Royd Tower turned, He sliced the Spirit in half with his Glowing sword when The Three Dark Spirits became even more aggressive.

Royd Tower took a smoke bomb and he threw it against the Spirits.

Immediately the bomb hit the ground, It releases toxic gas into the air and Royd Tower positioned himself, He is immunes to the toxicity of the gas due to his training when he held his sword tight.

" Falcon, you are quite aware we are Superior Spirits and you didn't fall down Against us in fear, You must be a Superior Falcon " One of the Dark Spirits uttered as they stood beside the body of their severed partner.

" You are not the first set of Superior Spirits I have faced and you won't be the last "

Royd Tower stated and he superspeed, He clicked a button his sword while speeding and he leapt, Landing before the Dark Spirits, He attacks with his blade and before they could transform into their smoky forms.

The Sword sliced off one of the Dark Spirits hands and Royd Tower giggled as he did a front flip and he landed on the ground, Royd Tower took a gum from his pocket and he threw the gum into his mouth before turning.

Royd Tower turned with smiles on his face while chewing his gum when The Second Dark Spirit fell on his knees with his chest cut by the blade, The Confraternity were surprised to see the cut Because they didn't see the attack.

" I have always hated the smell of a Disgusting Falcon, It seems you are no joke compared to your weaklings you call compared, We will take you on seriously " The Three Figures said as they removed their black robes.

Revealing their inhuman faces as they stood before Royd Tower who crazily smiled, Royd Tower gazed at the Dark Spirits when he checked the watch in his hand and he looked up to stare at the Confraternity.

" I guess I will get serious also, I don't have enough time " Royd Tower said.

Meanwhile

Heavy Wind blew eerily, Scattering Dusts and dried leaves around as Crystal Rodriquez superspeed, Her heart driven by deep hatred and darkness, She attacks the Two Dark Spirits head on.

Her Dark Claws crept out as she attacks, The Two Dark Spirits evaded the attacks as they moved back but to their uttermost shock, Their hands were sliced off within the seconds of Crystal's attacks.

Her body burns with black flames as she Gnashes her teeths, Crystal Rodriquez snapped her neck when she dashed at the Two Dark Spirits, She attacked with ultra speed but they were fast in reacting to the attack.

Her leg strucked the ground seconds after the Dark Spirits ducked the attack.

The ground broke down by the force, Creating a massive quake in the entire area when Crystal Rodriquez growls, She dashed at the Dark Spirits again, Grabbed them by their necks and she slammed them hard on the ground.

The Impact caused great shockwaves to Destroy down few trees in the air and Crystal Rodriquez forced her claws into their necks, The Two Dark Spirits screams out in pains while feeling the terror.

One of the Dark Spirits snapped his fingers and A Shark mouth sprang out from the ground, With the Intentions to devour them all, Two Smoky hands emerges from Crystal's back and the hands stopped the Shark mouth.

Crystal Rodriquez roared like a Maniac and she grabbed one of the Dark Spirits and she slammed him hard to the ground, The Second Dark Spirit made to escape and run away when Crystal Rodriquez appeared before him.

Crystal Rodriquez held the Spirit's heart in her hand and she crushed the heart afterwards, The Dark Spirits looks down to see his chest wide open and he fell down dead on the ground, The Second Dark Spirit attacks.

He threw spears Against Crystal Rodriquez who stopped them while on the air!!

Crystal Rodriquez superspeed and she landed on the ground, Standing Behind The Dark Spirit, He places his hands on his neck and the Spirit fell down lifeless on the ground, Crystal Rodriquez gritted her teeths.

She slowly approached Princess Amaya who laid Unconscious on the ground, Crystal Rodriquez took a deep breath when the darkness that covered the woods suddenly vanishes, She bent down to see Amaya on the ground.

Crystal Rodriquez smiled Brightly when she slowly caressed Princess Amaya and she turned immediately she sensed something income, Crystal Rodriquez took the spear on the ground and she rose up to her feet.

Incoming footsteps could be heard from the fog and Crystal Rodriquez who seems to be sweating positioned herself well with the spear in her hand when Royd Tower walked out of the fog with smiles on his face.

Crystal Rodriquez took a deep breath and she dropped the spear on the ground and Royd Tower slowly approached her, Royd Tower's shirt was stained with bloods and he threw the head he held on the ground.

" You guys are alright...But not completely alright I can see, What happened here? " Royd Tower asked when he glared at Princess Amaya who is completely Unconscious and he could see her severed hand on the ground.

" We were attacked by some men Cladded in black robes but we are fine, Where you attacked by those men? " Crystal Rodriquez asked when Royd Tower stabbed the sword on the ground and he walked up to Amaya.

" Yes I was...In Fact I was attacked by four of them, I am surprised you survived! " Royd Tower said and Crystal Rodriquez turned to see the head Royd Tower threw on the ground minutes ago and she sighed.

" We were attacked by two and we nearly died...What happened to them? " Crystal asked.

" Isn't it simple? I am standing here so that's means only one thing, I killed them all " Royd Tower answered and he tore his shirt and he covered the wound on Princess Amaya and she slowly moved.

Meanwhile
