8-Hybrid vs Nightbringer

"How did you notice me?" The voice came from behind the broken iron door.

"The nauseating sulfur smell is trailing after you. It would be surprising if I didn't notice you," Zephyr replied.

"Hahahahah. So, you noticed me because of my scent. That's quite impressive," he said and entered the room.

The man entering the room had black hair and black eyes. He was approximately 200 centimeters tall and seemed to weigh twice as much as Zephyr.

But the man's notable feature wasn't his height or weight. The remarkable feature was the red glow shining in the depths of his black eyes.

"Nightbringer..." Zephyr whispered.

Then he thought, "The chaos here must have drawn him here."

"Now that you recognize me, let's quickly finish this. The authorities have become quite adept at finding Nightbringers," said the Nightbringer.

Although his tone and sentences seemed calm, his face was not.

The Nightbringer looked at Zephyr with a big smile on his face. The madness in his eyes was a sign of how dangerous he was.

"What do you mean?" Zephyr asked.

"What do I mean? After I use my energy, SHIELD will notice me within seconds and send their men here. Although they aren't powerful enough to kill me, they're quite good at capturing and imprisoning me," said the Nightbringer.

Then he shouted, "Enough talk! Let's fight!"

The Nightbringer's speed was far above that of normal humans. Fortunately, Zephyr wasn't a normal human.

[Wind Steps]

He dodged to the left, avoiding the Nightbringer's fist. Then he used his ability again and lunged at the Nightbringer.

As he used this ability, it improved. Moreover, his mastery of the ability was also improving.

Zephyr swung his sword horizontally, aiming directly for the Nightbringer's throat.

Just as the sword was about to cut his neck, the Nightbringer raised his arm and held the sword in front of him.

When the sword and the Nightbringer's arm touched, a sound like a hot knife entering water was heard.

"ARRGGGGH!"

The Nightbringer groaned in pain and looked at Zephyr in astonishment.

"I'll kill you!!" he shouted.

The Nightbringer pulled Zephyr towards him by his arm. Then he punched Zephyr's ribs with all his might.

The force of the punch sent Zephyr flying against the nearby wall like a bullet.

When Zephyr hit the wall, the room shook and the wall cracked.

"Damn, that was a solid punch..." Zephyr whispered, holding his ribs.

"At least my recovery comes easily," he added.

As Zephyr muttered to himself, the Nightbringer's angry voice was heard.

"You!!!" the Nightbringer shouted.

"What did you do to my arm!!!" he added.

The deep sword wound on his arm wasn't healing and was rotting the Nightbringer's flesh as time passed.

Zephyr chuckled when he saw the Nightbringer's arm and slowly got up. He ignored the Nightbringer's words and attacked him with his ability.

[Wind Steps]

Almost instantly appearing in front of the Nightbringer, he swung his sword from bottom to top.

The Nightbringer was surprised by Zephyr suddenly appearing in front of him and forgot to defend himself.

Zephyr's sword cut the Nightbringer's chest from bottom to top, causing him to groan in pain. Then, without wasting any time, he swung his sword horizontally.

"NO!!"

The sword advanced directly towards the Nightbringer's neck and cut it halfway through flawlessly. But it stopped there. The sword's current sharpness wasn't enough to cut the Nightbringer's neck in one stroke.

"You're quite stubborn!!!" Zephyr snarled and used his other ability.

[Sword of The Night]

A red katana formed in Zephyr's right hand. The length of this katana was 170 centimeters from end to end, and the blade of the katana was red. On the red blade of the katana were soul motifs that seemed trapped inside the sword. The hilt of the sword was matte black, and a black chain with a length of 10 centimeters was hanging from the end of the handle.

The Nightbringer froze in astonishment when he saw this katana.

"You're a Nightbringer..." he whispered. There was still a bewildered expression on his face. It was as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"No," Zephyr denied.

"I'm a hybrid."

He pulled the sword in his right hand backward and stabbed directly into the Nightbringer's heart.

Blood spurted from the Nightbringer's mouth and hit Zephyr's face.

"Damn! This is disgusting."

"I'll be waiting for you in the dimension of the Night Lord... traitor!" the Nightbringer said forcibly.

"You'll be waiting for a long time!"

Zephyr pulled the dawn sword from the Nightbringer's neck with his left hand and aimed for the same area again.

The sword successfully cut the Nightbringer's neck, ending his life.

"Good fight," Zephyr said, looking at the Nightbringer's body turned to ashes.

[Combat ended. Congratulations! You leveled up. Open the system window to examine new abilities.]

Zephyr smiled as he looked at the system window that opened in front of him.

"And it was a profitable fight," he added.

*"Weapon sound SFX"*

A bullet hit the right side of Zephyr's head and crushed, falling to the ground.

Zephyr scratched where the bullet hit and turned to his right side.

"I... apologize!" Diana said and dropped the gun in her hand.

"I can't believe you tried that," Zephyr said, advancing towards Diana."
