Chapter 772 ( Rika's Death - II )
Kouki closed his eyes as he let out a tired sigh.
The battle had been harder than he thought, even with [Umbra]'s help.

"Cid!" - exclaimed the leader of the adventurers when he saw his decapitated companion - "B-Bastard!"
Kouki didn't respond, he simply disappeared in a dark flash as he prepared to decapitate another one of these pesky foes, only to recoil when he saw a bullet fly mere millimetres from his face - ". . ."
"You saw how fast he is, don't let your guard down" - Rika said seriously as she felt her heart pounding.
The female knight quickly pulled out her equipment, a sword and a small shield, both of which were suitable for her job as a [Light Knight].
"Gather around, I'm going to use my [Light Guard] skill!" - exclaimed the female knight as her body was surrounded by a delicate pale aura that disappeared after a few seconds - "Eh?"
"Did you really think you could use your buffs in front of me?" - Kouki asked as he narrowed his eyes.
The female knight watched in surprise as the black sword was absorbing the pale aura and causing a dark aura to surround Kouki's body - "You stole my buff?"
"I see you're not as stupid as I thought you were" - Kouki replied disdainfully as he looked closely at his sword.

[Umbra, the cursed sword]
The weapon used by the first demon king, and created by the Alba to aid their master Ehit during the war of the gods. It was created from the bones of a god who was a subordinate of Ehit, the god of shadows, and it is said that his consciousness is still sleeping inside the sword, waiting for the moment to take revenge on the master who betrayed him.

Umbra was a sword that had earned the name of legendary sword despite its cruel origin, though that didn't matter right now because he only wanted one thing, to kill all the enemies in front of him, especially the purple-haired woman who was the ally of his greatest enemy.
"Her end has already been decided..." - Kouki muttered as the dark aura covered his body more . "Die..."
Kouki again disappeared from his location as the dark mist began to appear all over the place .
"Activate your holy ability to destroy the dark fog!" - Rika exclaimed as she realized that it was better to fight with an elemental advantage.
"I don't have any light or holy abilities" - replied the leader of the adventurers as the other leaders looked at each other.
"Argh!"
"Tough luck" - Kouki whispered as the sound of another body falling to the ground could be heard - "I guess I'm the worst enemy that could have touched them..."
Rika fell silent as she changed the ammunition in her pistol - "[Flashbomb]!"
She quickly fired towards the ground, creating a powerful reaping light.
Kouki frowned as he closed his eyes because the light was too bright, at which point Rika took the opportunity to fire directly towards his forehead.
Umbra used her shadows to stop the shot, but to her surprise, the bullet passed through her power, so she used the second method under her power, which was to basically take possession of her user and move her body.
Kouki tried to resist Umbra's influence, but unfortunately it was too strong, or rather, his mind was too weak compared to the dark mass of destruction.
The traitorous hero let out a roar of desolation before ducking as fast as he could, passing the bullets just millimetres from his hair.
Rika fell silent when she noticed this, mostly because the reaction time Kouki demonstrated bordered on the humanly impossible.
[Making me lose some of my power to take possession of this body when I wasn't ready yet...] - Kouki muttered in a distorted voice - [I guess I'll have to kill them quickly because this body is not yet ready to be controlled by me...].
"You're the sword" - said Rika with surprise as she remembered how Cloud had told her about his ancient weapon, [Incursio] - "You have a consciousness of your own!"
[Congratulations on the correct answer, too bad there's no prize...] - Kouki said with disdain as his eyes glowed a deep red - [But seeing as you're the first humans I'm going to personally kill in so long, I guess I can tell you who's responsible for sending him to the other world...Rejoice, for I am Umbra, the god of shadows, and I have returned to lead this world to its destruction and to take revenge on those who betrayed me in the past!]]
Rika frowned before feeling how the darkness around them seemed to have created a dome around their group.
[I can feel how your blood will be a delicacy that will make me that much closer to my evolution... that's why I'm going to enjoy killing you, human woman] - Kouki said as his red eyes half closed - [Come on, come to me with the intention of killing me, so I can at least have some fun before I kill you].
Rika let out a sigh as she remembered Endou and Cloud's words, realizing that she had lost the bet.
[Die...] - Kouki muttered as the sound of a slash echoed through the place, only to see the dark mist surrounding the group of leaders being cut into hundreds of pieces.
Rika smiled slightly before losing consciousness and feeling her entire body being cut by hundreds of blades.
Umbra Kouki frowned when he saw how the woman's body was in perfect condition, discounting the fact that she was decapitated, which was surprising because he had used the same strength for all his attacks, and what made it more surprising was that the other enemies inside the shadow dome had been turned into mincemeat.
[I guess you were stronger than I thought, too bad you didn't know how to use your full potential, because if you had, the battle would have been more complicated.]
Umbra Kouki approached the woman's body and pierced her heart with his sword, not because he wanted to ensure her death, which shouldn't be necessary knowing that the purple-haired woman had been decapitated, no, he did this because the strongest blood was the one concentrated in the heart, so letting the sword absorb this blood was much better than a normal cut.
[Not bad, with this I can hold on a little longer before I put this weak body in a safe place, after all, this body can't resist my power anymore...] - Umbra Kouki muttered with a huge smile - [I hope you enjoyed the show, my weak user, now I only ask you to use the time I'm going to give you to get stronger, because I don't want to have to go through this again.]
* * * * *
Kouki frowned when he remembered this, because during his state of possession, he was aware of everything Umbra was doing, in fact, it was like watching his body being controlled like a puppet, and that bothered him. He was Kouki Amanogawa, the most powerful hero brought to this dimension, a simple puppet that Umbra could use at any time.
After killing all the humans in the place and using their blood to maintain the optimal state of his body, Umbra escaped from the area as fast as he could, only to hand control of his body back to the human using his sword.
