>>5247329With a shout your golden aura blazes up around you, shattering the rocky wall you'd been sent into. The warrior raises his left arm, golden lightning bolt forming, but you're already done with him. You raise your power to it's peak, then launch yourself directly at him. The man throws his attack down at you, but he's far too slow. You easily evade the crackling bolt, dashing past it and under the knight, stopping right behind him back-to-back with a smirk. You've seen these guys before, and know how they've been trained to attack. He swings predictably, whirling clockwise sword-first trying to bisect you, he only hits empty air. The moment he'd started swinging you'd backflipped up and over him, leaving the fighter wide open.
“Bye! HYAAAAAA!!” you roar, firing off a powerful right bicycle kick directly down on his head. Your hard body slams against his armored collarbone, sending him straight down into the mist. After a second he vanishes from sight, then another few seconds later his ki vanishes entirely as well. That's another one down, how many of these Darkwraiths are here anyways?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo3nDUA3KWs“Another one?” you say with a sigh, flying back over to the cliff edge and focusing your ki sense as you wonder just how many of them are here. You can sense another ki signature not too far away, the second one you'd sensed when approaching the Giant Dad knight, and the two further signatures have spread out, no doubt looking for you. But you don't sense the one who'd just been summoned. So you figure the other close-by ki signature is the one you're here to protect, so you fly directly over to them. And on your way through the mist, you wonder just who's the one you're here to help.
When you finally find that person, you see a cloaked figure holding a pitch black, two-handed great sword with two, interlocked twisting metal blades forming a truly sinister-looking weapon resting on their shoulder. However, the figure isn't even looking towards you. Instead they're looking at the ground, reaching down and touching something. Oh, they probably found a summoning sign for a helpful phantom, one that can help against these seemingly-endless dark hordes.
“Hey! Are you who I'm here to-?” you ask, question catching in your throat as the figure turns around. You recognize her! And so does your Dark Hand, it squirming in your palm almost as if it wants to escape you and return to it's original host. “No way, it's you?!”
“Finally, I caught the right rat.” the woman replies, throwing the cloak off and revealing her skeletal Darkwraith armor beneath. “I've been hunting for you, bitch. That Dark Hand you stole is MINE!”
“Wait, but YOU'RE a Darkwraith too?” you ask, confused. “So why are they coming here trying to hunt you?”
