Skybound Volume 2: The Witch Of Jubilee.

Chapter 15: Sinners Deathless.

Qin darted forward, slashing up and knocking the candles to the ground, Vita smirked beneath his helmet, "For a man of God to sulk in the shadows... How unsightly!" He shouted slashing forward with his sword, the walls sparked as the edge of his blade made contact with the bricks.

Qin however leaped forward jumping over the blade, and slashing down at Vita with his thin swords.

Vita ducked to the side of the first strike and dropped his blade reaching up with his now free hand and grabbing Qin from the air slamming him into the wall.

Qin gasped blood flying from his mouth as he tumbled to the ground, his blades clattering along with him.

Vita stared down with a scowl, "Come now, you've had this whole grand scheme cooked up. Surely you must have more to you." Vita declared ignoring Qin and walked over to his greatsword picking it from the ground before turning around to look at Qin who was also getting up.

Qin stared forward, anger clear in his gaze, "You're a fool, if you had just remained within your village... away from everyone else. I would have saved them all!"

Vita let out a hum at that, "At the cost of my people?"

"Your people are a blight upon this land regardless! The darkness brings nothing but death and destruction, monsters like Lust and your Dark Knight kin are not welcome here!" Qin shouted, throwing his sword forward.

Vita lifted his blade examining the steel, "I suppose you're right about that." Shadows wrapped around his blade and shot forward, forming dark jaws that snapped down and consumed the airborne sword. Wrath watched the shards drop to the ground with a frown, "But I wonder, when was it priest?"

Qin blinked, "I'm sorry?" confusion was on his face as he stared warily at Vita, Vita lowered his blade slowly and started to walk forward.

He continued, "When did your 'God' abandon you?"

Qin frowned before scoffing, "He is with me, and you as well if you are to accept him. Such is his grace." Qin replied simply.

"No." Vita retorted easily, before launching forward with speed that should be impossible considering his heavy armor.

He slashed forward, and Qin raised his blade clashing with Vita's blade, struggling against the might of the Dark Knight.

Vita then smirked beneath his helmet, "Your god isn't here, this is an empty box. He's long since abandoned you, and I am proof of that." Vita stared forward, a red glow appearing from his helmet.

Qin's eyes widened as he felt something sharp and hot stabbing through his back.

Slowly Qin's eyes moved down, and he saw a sword pierced through his chest, a black sword made of shadows.

When he turned his head, he saw a shadow.

A shadow that mirrored Vita's shape.

"Spawns... of the devil." Qin let out a final gasp as he fell to the ground, his eyes cold and lifeless.

Dead.

Chapter 15: Sinners Deathless.

Skylar walked down the final step and arched her brow at the sight before her, there she saw the prisoners surrounded by dead guards and further ahead she saw...

Vita?

Vita and what seemed to be a shadowy clone, she put a hand on her hip, "Is that a thing all Dark Knights can do?"

Vita looked over his shoulder at Skylar and sighed, sheathing his blade, as he did so the shadow dissipated and slithered along the ground before fusing into Vita's sword, "The best ones can aye."
