Hero of Darkness

trikes whenever she got the chance.
But during that time, each copy kept throwing those smoke bombs towards her to blur her vision and she had to change her location too many times in just 10 minutes.

BANG!!

Finally, the 4th copy died and disappeared into black smoke and only the real Ronin was left.

Argh! Whats happening? asked Mikaela to herself as she felt her sense dulling out of a sudden and her body movements greatly slowing.

Soon, the world around her started giving off an eerie feeling and a sense of impending threat appeared in her mind.

[No! He could be using some skill.
I need to kill him quickly!] she thought and launched his biggest summoned arrows and most fatal archery skills while the summoned ravens surrounded the real Ronin from every direction and angle.

STAB!!

Amidst the frenzy and chaos An arrow pierced right through Ronins chest and instantly electrocuted him on the spot.

But the female tengu archer was not in the mood of taking risks.
She launched another valley of attacks and with a bang.

A large hole was created in Ronins chest as he was shot dead by the enemy.
His eyes lost the light in them and his body started falling towards the ground.

Stab!

Another arrow pierced his heart and Mikaela used her saint aura to pull his body close to her.

What a useless fight.
Youre as weak as they come.
she spoke in a content and victorious voice as Ronins corpse flew in front of her.

STAB!!

STAB!!

But before she could revel in victory for long two daggers suddenly stabbed her head and her heart from behind.
Her body was instantly frozen and hundreds of black veins spread on the exiting tips of the daggers.

Mikaela didnt even realize the fact that she died, only having a shocked expression because of the pain.

And finally, the real Ronin appeared from behind her, giving a look of disappointment through his now golden eyes.

Although it looked like Ronin was toyed around by Mikaela throughout the entire battle one couldnt be any more wrong.

First, he tested her senses and reaction time when he threw the smoke bombs the first time and appeared right behind her to make a lethal strike.

But after he sensed that Mikaela was equally matched with him even with his buffed speed and dexterity because of her own senses he decided to use decoys.

After Mikaela attacked the doppelgangers, each of them threw smoke bombs at her.
But unlike before, these werent just normal smoke bombs but the ones made with his own fear toxin.

This was the ability that Kahn and Ronin often used during their time in Flavot city when Kahn was hunting down criminals and the noble clan heirs while masquerading as Azrael.
It not only made the enemies hallucinate but also affected their sensory organs and abilities.

And in this battle, whenever Mikaela started breathing the smoke in after the doppelgangers threw those bombs at her, her senses were being affected with time.

And when the final doppelganger died, Ronin allowed it to keep its physical form which made the female archer think that she finally got him.

But the truth was that Ronin had been using the Invisibility skill that he got after merging with Vilgax.
This ability made his entire existence undetectable unless one was above the 5th stage saint rank.

And right when Mikaela let her guard down and her senses were greatly affected because of the fear toxin, he used Erebus daggers that had Bjormngandur, the Basilisk descendants venom coated on them which caused those black veins on her body, making sure she was deader than dead.

Ronin perfectly planned every step of this confrontation and killed an enemy who had an advantage over him in every aspect using his Battle Tactician mind.

Mikaelas corpse dropped from the sky and Ronin gave an unimpressed gaze as he looked at the crashing corpse

Youre slow, even when youre falling.
