Shadow Weaver: Sole Heir Of The Night

Woosss

The sound of flames igniting resounded, as Zekes hair was consumed with flames a staff appearing in his hand subsequently.

The war between the sky and Weavetech had been raging for a century now. Even when Zeke became a sky someone had tried to kill him immediately and that person was a member of his family.

This was the whole reason he had to leave his family, all because of the bounty from WeaveTech, now there was nothing he wanted more than to kill someone from that god forsaken company.

"Hurry up, if you can't kill him in 5mins I'll just have to do my job" Beside Zeke Sword cleaver spoke calmly and with a tempered gaze nearly pericing through vegar.

They were twenty people on this platform right now, more than half were here to kill Vegar, and that included an exalted weaver like him. Vegar was as good as dead in his eyes.

A pig to the slaughter.

Meanwhile,

"What's going on up there?"

"Who are those guys?"

"Sandle up, we have to protect the boss!!"

The theives from the guild began to rage at the sight in front of them. Someone was trying to kill their leader, it was foolish and stupid of them, but it made one wonder….

what kind of hidden card did they have to give them the confidence to try such in the city of theives?

"A battleship is heading towards the settlement!!"

Over their communication channels a voice resounded panicked and afraid.

"It….thats the federations insignia!!"

The sight of the ship sent shivers down their spines, several having the thoughts to run away. But could they do that really?

"Everyone Sandle up!! If we're going to escape we have to at least face them" immediately they made up their minds to abandon ship.

There was no real loyalty here, they were all thieves after all, if Vegar thought they would fight the federation for them he was dreaming.

However, they had to escape them first.

Seconds later, federation troops dropped down into Astoria and began arresting theives, at the same time fighting several pockets that chose to be stubborn. Astoria was as good as gone at this point.

At the same time somewhere in the mine

Woosh

A dark shadow flashed through the tunnels a black dagger in hand as he moved at an astronomical pace descending as fast as a moving bullet.

Enzo, just like Zeke had a grudge against Weavetech and their members. His father had been murdered in cold blood by them and he wouldn't love anything more than killing another Weavetech member.

But right now, that wasn't as important as his goals.

For one, he had to make sure that the other exalted weaver wouldn't interfere in their assassination of vegetable, they were trying to be quick and deadly, uncontrolled variables were not desired.

Secondly, the resource inside the mine was very precious. Star essence could either be traded or refined, with the federation here they wouldn't have the chance to make a profit….it was better to do so now.

"It's right down there, prepare yourselves" Enzo's voice resounded the two other blurs beside him nodded and pushed forward along side him in a quick burst.

-boom!!

The gate was smashed in and pried open then Enzo and the rest flooded in with quick succession.

"Mira, take down everyone else. Raven and I will handle the old man" Enzo commanded in a loud and affirmative voice.

There was no time to waste, they had to stall the old man. Mira nodded and rushed away engaging the supervisors and workers while Enzo pulled out his dagger.

"Hm? So that's what that noise was all about? Someone finally decided to act against that arrogant fool" the old man master Jos noticed Enzo and frowned deeply.

The boy was always so flamboyant with how he did thing, it pissed him off and dispite being happy to see his downfall he was also pissed off by Enzo's presence.

"Star weavers, all at stage one. Do you have a death wish?" Master Jos asked with an amused expression.

This wasn't the first time star weavers had snuck into Astoria. But each time they had been able to beat them back without them ever getting past the mine gate.

This time however, these guys had not only attacked Vegar, they seemed to want his head too.

"Too much talk, catch this" without a second thought, Raven formed her black singularity ball and threw it directly at master jos causing it to expand in seconds.

Master jos instinctively tried to grab it but was ultimately overpowered due to its enormous weight and force.

"Fuck!!" Jumping aside, master jos cursed his arm feeling an unexplainable soreness with a mild bitter look on his face.

Before he could catch his breath Raven was on him again sending another ball into his way aim directly for his head.

This time however, Master Jo's seemed to be serious as he effortlessly pushed his body out of the way and suddenly towards raven.

Exalted and star weavers were not the same at all. A simple hit from him could kill either of them instantly.

Fortunately for Raven…..she wasn't here alone.

Enzo suddenly appeared a shadow right beside matter Jo's. The old man didn't even have the time to react when a spinning blade rushed forward aiming directly for his lower abdomen.

"Blasted kids!!" Master jos cursed as he grabbed the side of his cloth that had been sliced open and the blood rushing from it.

These two were well coordinated, vicious and experienced. It reminded him of the old days and the warnings they would frequently hear from higher ups.

Never underestimate any, especially when it seems like they are about to kill you.

"Raven now!!" Enzo barked the moment after his eyes shot at raven who held a miniature planet shaped orb in her hand.

The same lecture master jos and received when he was younger was the same being preached even today.

[SKILL ACTIVATED : SILENT ZONE]

As such, Enzo was prepared to pull all his cards to kill the old man as fast as he could.

Suddenly the old master jos felt his body go numb, his vision blurred the last thing he saw being the barreling black orb made from dense matter.

.

.

Boom

"He's much more experienced than i thought" Enzo thought to himself as he watched the old master dodge attack after attack aimed directly at him.

The silent zone skill allowed Enzo to block off all sensation from a target allowing him to kill them with ease undetected.

However the stronger the opponent the weaker the effects of the skill would become. Right now master jos couldn't see or feel, but he could hear and smell.

With just these two sensations he had been able to dodge all manner of attacks they had thrown at him.

[Theres a five minute limit, just keeps throwing all you have at him]

Enzo sent a covert message to raven as he formed a spike of shadow from the far wall and threw it at the old man.

"Hmp!!" The old man noticing the intensity of their attacks grow pulled out an echo, a short sword that emitted a demonic energy.

These kids were in over their head, they thought they could kill him? It was one thing to plan, but when fighting against a giant more often than not planning was useless.

Slowly he either dodged their attacks or threw them back at them systematically weakening them slowly but surely

At the end of the five minutes mark Enzo and Raven were coughing of blood barely holding on.

The difference between a star weaver and an exalted weaver was laid bare before Enzo and the rest.

"It has a time limit as expected, otherwise I'd be fucked" Master jos laughed bitterly as he got a good look at Enzo and Raven.

The moment the two of them had attacked he had mysteriously gone blind, now getting a good look at them gave him a sense of understanding.

These two were talents, probably from a power somewhere in the universe.

"So which of you wants to die first?" Master jos asked a smile etching on his face. Where they were form didn't matter, their death was assured for trying what they did with him.

"That would be me" Enzo raised his hand as a coffin mysteriously appeared next to him.

Suddenly an ominous feeling consumed the air, forcing master jos to raise his eyebrow.

Was that some sort of treasure?

Woom!!!

Before his eyes, the coffin opened and an obsidian figure stepped out clad in a sleek amour with a long sword and eyes shining with a dangerous red light.

"That…." Master jos frowned.

Of course Enzo didn't come down here without a back you plan, he wasn't so cocky to believe he could kill ab exalted weaver very easily.

"Kill him" Enzo pointed outward at the master from Weavetech.
