Vivid memories of that red human-like creature popped into Darcel and Aniela's minds like a terrifying storm.

But the creature the duo spotted now had some significant critical differences from the red creature.

It was certainly taller than the red creature, having a more menacing imposing stature. Although its claws were strangely shorter than the red creature. But its eyes were entirely in a chilling purple hue.

And yet, above all of that, one detail stood out the most for Darcel and Aniela.

They haven't even truly begun fighting, but the creature's expression caused a slight shock for the duo.

It's eerily entirely purple glowing eyes slightly bulged out of their sockets in an apparent mix of shock and confusion. Furthermore, Darcel and Aniela could even notice a small hint of brewing fear seemingly engrossing its face and pupils.

"Ohhh….well, well, well! I didn't think there would be a variant of these creatures, but we now know they also can feel fear and pain!" Aniela boldly remarked as she and Darcel felt their confidence increasingly swell.

"Hmmm….and it's also just as low in cultivation as the red creature."

Darcel formed a confident smirk once he had roughly equated the current human-like creature aura to the prowess of a fifth layer link True Soul Core cultivator.

And throughout all this time, the purple horrid human-like creature still didn't move a muscle.

Its eyes chillingly bore into Darcel and Aniela's bright green scimitars, seemingly taken aback by something far more profound. A considerable suppression weighed upon its own soul for every second; it stayed close to those scimitars and Darcel and Aniela's general presence.

Since the creature didn't want to make a move, Darcel and Aniela's eyes glazed over in savage killing intent!

Even if it wasn't precisely the same creature, Darcel and Aniela felt their blood rush in starting their revenge against these horrid creatures.

Darcel and Aniela swiftly pointed their black flaming scimitars towards the creature. At the tip of their blades, their black flames swirled in a circular fashion.

Tremendous surges of immense Nascent Qi power chaotically spewed throughout the entire cave like a firestorm.

This sudden increase of power even got the creature to come out of its daze like trance.

But it simply was too slow as Darcel and Aniela instantaneously formed their attacks. At the tip of their scimitars, a profound black glow illuminated the Darkness cave.

Right then, Darcel and Aniela blasted out massive roaring black fireballs straight at the human-like creature!

Once again, the human-like creature felt goosebumps surged from under its skin, and its soul fearfully quake from Darcel and Aniela's attacks.

Those scimitars they wielded….they're very being....it all spelled tremendous danger for it!

Still, the human-like creature wasn't going to let itself be burnt to crips.

In a nanosecond, the creature swirled its horrid purple tongue from out its mouth. It bubbled putrid purple fluids that ran on its long tongue.

The creature had then flicked its horrid tongue, spraying out a mini putrid purple fluid shower towards the black flaming fireballs.

Despite Darcel and Aniela's raw power being just slightly under the creature, the pure power of their black flaming fireballs already made the creature's fluids tremble before clashing.

'BANG!'

Extreme shock filled the human-like creature's eyes as its putrid purple fluids didn't dissipate the duo's black flaming fireballs. Instead, it caused it to implode and spray wisps of black flames towards it!

"Keah!"

The human-like creature roared out in slight pain as a single wisp of black flame penetrated its arm, causing real sizzling agony to wreak havoc in its arm.

Before any other wisp of black flames could spray on the creature, it had immediately jumped up to the ceiling at lightning-like speeds!

Feral killing intent hazed its eyes as the creature decided Darcel and Aniela must die no matter what!

As soon as the creature's foot touched the black glossy ceiling, it blasted towards Darcel and Aniela in a maddening craze. A chilling purple mist was razed behind in its wild, mad dash.

But while it rushed to them, Darcel and Aniela began to wildly smile, seeing their incredible effects of their new black flames.

Instantly they enriched their bodies in a beautiful black flaming aura, and Darcel pointed his scimitar at the human-like creature again.

Powerful black flames intensely sizzled at the tip of Darcel's scimitar once again, spewing out massive waves of Nascent Qi.

Using merely a second, Darcel boomed out a vast black flaming claw towards the ceiling crawling creature.

With how broad and large Darcel made the raging black flaming claw, the creature simply had no way to doge.

Nor did it ever intend to dodge in the first place.

Right when Darcel blasted out his black flaming claw, the creature matched its rhythm and struck out its ghastly purple claw.

A bright chilling purple flash encompassed its claw, and the creature fired out a vast, powerful purple Qi Claw to match Darcel's attack.

'BANG!'

The whole cave fiercely quacked like several rumbling tsunamis!

Darcel's black flaming claw and the creature's purple haze Qi Claw canceled each other out in a bright black purple mix explosion.

Fifth layer link True Soul Core prowess crazily spewed throughout the cave, splitting the air apart between them.

Although, during this explosion of power, the horrid purple creature wasn't idle.

The creature quickly sprang off the black glossing ceiling, going through the aftershocks of the Qi explosion, and hover just above Darcel and Aniela.

Its body shimmered a spine-chilling purple haze as the creature spewed out its terrifying purple mist!

The purple mist speed was just as fast as the red creature red mist and had promptly covered the whole area for a mile. And yet, contrary to the creature's expectation, it didn't hear a shout or even a grunt of pain.

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

Instead, a slight silver hue pierced into the creature's eyes and caused a tremendous sense of crisis to swell in its chest.

A black flaming whip with a slight but bright tint of a silver hue tore through the creature's purple mist and quickly wrapped around its neck.

The whip's speed slightly surpassed the creature's reaction time plus, its eyesight was already not the best.

Once the silverish black flaming whip coiled around the creature's neck, it brought about an intense pressure that internally crushed down on its organs and bones.

Pain split across the creature's face. Before it could process this attack, the creature suddenly felt itself crashing down towards the ground.

Under the powerful pressure of these black flames, the creature had little options but to just resist the incoming black glossy ground.

'Bang!'

The ground cracked like several spider webs. The horrid purple creature got flatten into a small crater in the ground. Real agonizing pain warped the creature's senses causing its pupils to dilate.

The black flames now had suddenly ramped up in intensity, wreaking even more powerful chaos in its body.

And throughout the whole fight, the creature's soul violently quaked with each attack Darcel and Aniela threw out with their scimitar, making the creature's attacks a bit less potent.

Simultaneously, while the creature was dealing with genuine pain, Darcel and Aniela had finally gotten their first taste of the human-like creature terrifying purple mist!

Immediately, Darcel and Aniela intensify the power of their black flaming aura, making it chaotically swirl.

But the chilling purple mist still manages to penetrate into their bodies.

Darcel and Aniela utterly froze for a second. Intense torturous pain assaulted their bodies, bringing upon a crushing suppression on their organs, bones, and bloodstreams.

Nearly Darcel and Aniela wanted to roar out in pain until their scimitar and soul violently reacted!

Simultaneously, their scimitars brightly illuminated in a dazzling silver glow while their souls chaotically surged an incredible different source of power within the duo.

Instantly, the poisonous spine-chilling purple mist inside Darcel and Aniela's bodies completely halted its tracks.

A beautiful bright silver glow illuminated the inside of their bodies, making the purple mist tremble in utter fear.

Now more than ever, Darcel and Aniela felt this enrichment of power to be too familiar to not remember where it came from.

This source of power spewing from their souls was overwhelmingly awe-inspiring, like the baptism of holiness itself.

And yet, just right when Darcle and Aniela were beginning to recall where they experienced this sensation of power before, their senses abruptly spiked to just above them.

The horrid creature had managed to cut off Aniela's black flaming whip and jumped right back over them in the duo's lapse of focus!

However, the creature's eyes and soul trembled once seeing their scimitar brightly lit up in a silver hue.

Not taking any risk now, the creature's purple tongue hauntingly swirled from out of its mouth and immediately sprayed Darce and Aniela with putrid purple fluids.

Darcel and Aniela were just getting back to reality as the putrid purple fluids rained down on them.

The creature's purple mist caused little havoc in their bodies now, but they didn't have time to put up an accurate defense for its current attack.

Although with what recently transpired, Darcel and Aniela decided to hastily experiment.

They willed a small portion of their soul powers to the black flaming aura causing a slight silver hue to mix in.

And right then, the putrid purple fluids clashed against Darcel and Aniela!

'Sssch!!'

However, instead of the putrid purple fluids quickly drilling into their bodies, all purple fluids were halted halfway in their black flaming silver hue aura.

Darcel and Aniela gritted their teeth as a tremendous force did weigh upon them once, temporarily stopping the purple fluids.

Taking on the full brunt of this massive force, Aniela decided to unleash her sudden counter-attack. Pushing it to her limits, Aniela crazily surged her bloodline powers and made her bloodline arm glow up in an intense white glow!

'Chi!'

A bright white flashbang sparked the whole black glossy cave!

The flashbang reflected both Darcel and Aniela's putrid purple droplets fluids, making it drill right into the black glossy walls.

And as well, the human-like creature was forced to close its eyes and crash into the ground. It couldn't resist Aniela's flashbang's overwhelming stun, making it lose nearly all of its focus.

Darcel and Aniela felt vast beads of sweat pour down their face and bodies like cold drizzling rain.

Immense pain still wracked their bodies from exhausting their powers and taking on the creature's putrid purple fluids tremendous force.

However, during the creature's lapse of focus, Darcel and Aniela quickly spotted something critically. The purple mist once surrounding them was now quickly getting cleared up because it couldn't correctly spew its power.

Seeing a prime opportunity at hand, Darcel pushed it to his limit and rushed the horrid human-like creature.

At the tip of his scimitar, a raging black fireball frantically swirls, exuding the very peak of Darcel's prowess.

On instinct, the creature felt tremendous impending doom quickly approach it.

Its body moved on its own, and the creature struck out towards Darcel's black flaming rapier!

'Bang!'

Just barely, Darcel overpowered the creature and sent it sailing straight into the black glossy wall from the explosion of his black fireball.

Pushing this much power now was making Darcel feel lightheaded, and his arm was going numb.

But Darcel pushed down any fatigue and shouted,

"Aniela!"

Darcel knew in their new state, their black flames, their scimitars, and their souls acting on its own were sucking them dry at every second.

They needed to end this now!

Aniela heard Darcel called and had also sensed a colossal uprising of power quickly surging from the horrid creature!

She and Darcel both glanced over to see a familiar eerie silver glow beginning to enrich the creature's body, just like the red creature.

But right then, Aniela's soul crazily quaked, and she reacted before the creature could fully surge its increase in power.

Her scimitar brightly flashed silver, and Aniela blasted out a dazzling white telekinesis whip that sailed at the speeds of real lightning!

'Chi!

Aniela's telekinesis whip savagely drilled into its chest, causing rancid purple blood to spew out on the black glossy walls.

The creature now felt a massive crushing suppression envelop its whole body and soul, bringing upon an unbearable pressure to its entire being.

However, in a mad burst of rage, the creature entirely ignored this suppression.

Its purple claw flashed in a slight sliver hue, and as it pointed out its claw, the creatures shot out a purple slight silver hue Qi Claw towards Darcel and Aniela!

Darcel and Aniela hastily formed a black flaming barrier for the upcoming Qi Claw. And, at the last second, before the Qi Claw struck, the duo's eyes lit up.

They felt….a personal familiarity connection with the silver glow of the creature that rang out from their soul.

During the time with the red creature's silver glow, Darcel and Aniela never felt this split second of familiarity. But in this situation, that split second of intimacy danced in the duo's minds.

However, Darcel and Aniela could not explore this aspect now.

They focus on solidifying their black flaming barrier to clash against the purple silver hue Qi Claw!

'Bang!'

The purple silver hue Qi Claw imploded on impact, sending Darcel and Aniela violently crashing into the wall. And yet, the creature's putrid purple fluids couldn't penetrate Darcel and Aniela's black flaming barrier.

Blood dribbles from Darcel and Aniela's like a water stream. They painfully felt some of their backbones crack, and their bloodline arm was getting increasingly numb.

And yet, Darcel and Aniela persisted through the pain and swiftly landed back on their feet.

They only had enough in them for one last attack, and the duo was going to make it the last attack this horrid creature will ever see!

Aniela's telekinesis whip still drilled into the creature, pinning into the wall even after she and Darcel took on the full brunt of its Qi Claw.

And using this to their advantage, Darcel and Aniela wildly surged a tremendous sum of Nascent Qi, forming a thin line of black fire at the tip of their scimitars.

The human-like creature was still struggling to get rid of Aniela's telekinesis whip until the sense of death overtook its mind.

The horrid creature's eyes snapped back to Darcel and Aniela, already feeling immense dread. It senses overwhelming waves of power chaotically surged in the air making everything surrounding the duo freeze in place.

An unfathomable suppression further pressure the horrid creature as fear warped its mind watching Darcel and Aniela swirl their Martial Skill.
