Ichiro watched as Darc's body was becoming blurrier and blurrier until his body was completely gone.
There wasn't any sign of Darc being anywhere, not even a sound of his footsteps.
But, Ichiro knew how this technique works.
It is somewhat similar to one of his techniques, but Darc's technique was one level below him!
Ichiro grabbed a dagger from his waist and threw it towards the ground.
The dagger was clearly hitting nothing, but suddenly an outline of a figure appeared on the ground, who desperately moved his body away to dodge the dagger.
The outline of the figure became clearer, and soon a figure of Darc appeared again.
''H-How?!'' Darc screamed with a shock.
''You tried to redirect my vision by making your body blurry by using the reflection of the windows.'' Ichiro looked at the dozens of windows in the buildings.
Darc looked shocked.
No one has figured out the secret of this technique before!
''But, you cannot walk or move when you are redirecting my vision, so you have only one choice.'' Ichiro smirked, ''Crawling.''
Darc had cold sweat pouring on his back, but he was certain that Ichiro was only lucky.
'Very… Crude technique.' Ichiro shook his head with disappointment. He thought that the techniques of the League of Assassins were something he should study to improve his Style to a whole new level, but it seems he greatly overestimated them.
''So what?! You were only lucky; try to defend against this!'' Darc took a rope and dagger from his waist.
He put the robe on the hilt of the dagger.
Darc swung the robe around him while the dagger was on the end of the robes, making his weapons reach much larger than with any other melee weapon!
Ichiro narrowed his eyes; he put his sword in front of him.
Darc swung the robe even faster until it became completely invisible to the naked eye.
''Whew!'' He took a deep breath and swung the robe towards Ichiro, while the dagger was only an inch away from Ichiro in almost instant!
But, Ichiro quickly deflected the dagger, but then the robe tried to entangle with his leg.
Ichiro quickly jumped into the air and dodged the robes, but Darc used this to his advantage.
He swung the robe one more time towards Ichiro, who was in mid-air.
The dagger flew straight towards Ichiro like it was a missile!
But, Ichiro made another unexpected move.
[Iron Monkey!]
He pointed his sword behind him and did a backhand slash towards the incoming dagger.
Once the sword collided with the dagger… The dagger instantly got propelled back towards the ground.
*BAM*
The dagger got buried inside the ground while Darc was desperately trying to pull it back, but it didn't move an inch.
Ichiro landed on the ground and slashed the robe in half.
''Fuck!'' Darc threw the robe away and grabbed his sword from the ground.
Ichiro instantly bursted into motion and appeared in front of Darc in almost instant.
[Iron Lance - Stainless-Sword!]
Ichiro went into a thrusting stance and sent a deadly stab towards Darc's neck!
Darc quickly put the sword in front of him, but the collision of the attack sent him flying through the air.
*BAM*
He crashed on another building which was around 100 meters away from Ichiro.
''Argh!''
*BAM*
The buildings crashed down as Darc angrily punched through the wall of the building, but he managed to leave the building before it crashed down on him.
''I am getting annoyed!'' Darc shouted with his face being bloodied.
Ichiro sighed, ''Tough one…''
Darc wiped the blood around his eyes and threw the sword away.
That decision made Ichiro surprised, but he soon found a reason for such a decision.
Darc grabbed pair of daggers from the debris of the fallen building.
'That building was another Armory… How many are there?' Ichiro frowned, but he was glad there wasn't bazooka's or something outrageous that would make things difficult.
Darc, not caring about his injuries, started running towards Ichiro.
…
In the spectators' room.
''Darc is going to die!'' The VIPs were shouting anxiously.
''No! I betted on him; if he fucking died, then I will make sure that his family dies as well!''
''Darc doesn't have a family.'' Longel's calm voice echoed in the room, but it also had a tinge of coldness which made everyone shiver.
''He is Orphan, and I picked him up from the streets. He was quite crazy since he was a child, that's why I only started teaching him two years ago. It was a difficult operation to make his crazy nature disappear.''
''How did you guys manage to do it?'' One of the VIPs asked curiously.
Everyone was also curious.
Longel sighed and shook his head, ''We didn't… We only managed to hide it, but sometimes the crazy nature comes out, and it will make his fighting style completely unnatural. He ignores all reasoning and only wants to kill everyone around him.''
He looked at the screen where the figure of Darc was seen running towards Ichiro with his face being demon-like.
''And now… His crazy nature has returned… This match won't be easy to be predicted anymore, even I feel wary when I fight against Darc and his crazy nature because I simply don't know what his next attack will be; it is always so random.''
Longel's words made everyone shocked. Very rarely, he has said to be wary of someone.
He has said that once about Ali and a few other Martial Artists, but this might be the first time he talks so highly about someone in Martial Commander rank!
Everyone started to get more curious.
How strong is the so-called crazy nature?
Everyone turned their heads back towards the screen, and it didn't take long for everyone to gasp in surprise.
''What the hell is he doing?!''
''Does he want to die?!''
''H-He is crazy!''
Longel sighed; even when seeing Darc's crazy nature for over a dozen times, it still gives him chills and a sense of surprise.
The crazy nature always does something unexpected!
