Adrien stood there , on the ground as he watched the masked man soaring up into ever expanding skies, shining brighter than any other illuminating starry nights.
"How dazzling…"
The words passed his lips,as he began to take multiple steps back in caution.
Huff huff
"I… did not want to resort to this, but i had no choice left"
The masked man whispered to himself, positioning himself to land the final blow to end it for once and all.
"State your name" He said while pointing his sword at Adrien "I shall remember it."
"I AM ADRIEN MARTIN, AND I WILL NOT LET YOU RUN FREE"
Adrien screamed at him at the top of his lungs as he took a decisive stance, knowing this could be the end of all, his life and the people he has always fought for.
"Clara…I will not let you down again."
Adrien thought within himself, as the ground grew hotter, the air started to run dry and the masked man's flames became fiercer by every second.
"Adrien Martin, my flames shall burn bright forever in the memories of your unyielding efforts of nothingness."
He lunged forward towards Adrien as he finished his sentence, a straightforward jab with his luminous sword.
ARRK!..
The sword grazed Adrien's left shoulder, but it hurt far worse than any other fatal wound he had taken before, leaving him in disbelief of what's happening.
"It's a pity." The masked man withdrew some steps "Lancea ignis."
Swoosh!
"Tch, who now?"
The masked man seemed disappointed as his sword missed Adrien at the last moment, which had taken the form of a spear.
"You would've died there, you know that?"
Noir saved Adrien from the spear, which could've proven fatal if it had hit him.
"Noir?! What are you doing here?
Adrien asked him as he regained his composure, standing by his side.
"Well,look at the sky, too unnatural for me to not notice, is it not?"
Noir said with a teasing manner.
"Who's this?... Wait isn't he the same man from before?"
Noir thought to himself as he took a look at the man standing infront of him with bright radiant armour wrapped around his body.
"The man who beat Lukas, these two seem to know each other, i have no choice, i will retreat. "
The masked man thought to himself as his radiant armour wore off, the illumination of the night skies finally stopped and temperature began to drop to normal again.
"What is your name?..."
Noir asked him, with utmost curiosity.
"Ashnir"
He replied right after, taking of his mask, revealing a scar spreading across his face and his hairs flowing down to his shoulders.
"And we shall meet again, if fate wants it be."
A hovering board of flames appear below his legs, as he finishes his sentence.
Snap!
"Too fast-!"
Noir said with a tone of concern, as he saw Ashnir takeaway at such speed.
"He was too strong, i couldn't beat him…"
Adrien said in a disappointed manner as he sat down on the ground, relaxing his entire body.
"It's fine, it didn't seem like he was here to cause harm to anyone anyways, but still rescuing criminals, i don't seem to understand "
Noir replied to him, patting his back.
"Well, let's get to home, i am too tired after that battle with him, i need a good sleep before we start to talk about whatever happened tonight"
Adrien said as he got back on his legs, preparing to leave for his house.
"Yeah, nothing beats a peaceful sleep."
