With blades drawn and Spirit coating it, Thane was ready to strike.

His eyes could see through the fluctuations of magic and curiously looked on the Battle Mages and the broken torches around them, and even behind where they stood.

"The man must have destroyed the torches of those barbarians. But the battle mages can produce their own light. If I take them out, it'd be pitch black. And with my Vin Diesel, Furyan eyes, I can kill them." Thane decided.

"Master. Then, if you will kill them, allow me to pour out my power on your weapons so that their souls will be taken into my Channel."

"Do it."

Libra's form inside his channel unleashed the dark mist of his powers.

Thane felt the energy coming out of him, and it began to cover his daggers.

[Angel Assist Spell: Soul Bind acquired!]

[Angel Assist Spell: Soul Strike acquired!]

[Soul Bind – Legendary Class Skill]

The power of Libra, who weighs the sins of men, binds the guilty in their sin and absorbs the souls into the Celestial TV's Soul Keeper Channel. Dark mist that seeps and absorbs the soul is released by Libra to coat any weapon or object. If the coated item manages to land a critical wound on the foe, the Soul Strike spell is activated.]

[Soul Strike – Legendary Class Skill.]

Through a concentrated coating of Mist, Thane can launch an attack that would directly attack the soul of another, causing distressing pain to the target. 10% chance to cause confusion. 20% chance to perform a deathblow for enemies with HP below 30%.

"Hey! Now we're talking...!" Thane praised the ability of his Mist.

"And here I thought you couldn't give me anything."

"It was dependent on my choice. You could not have this, for I previously refused to give it to you. Now, I am your assistant after all."

"Good job, Ghastly. Now let's see how strong my Spirit Point Strike is with Soul Strike!"

Thane stepped from the shadows and was about to hurl it when he saw the barbarian in the middle twitch!

The barbarian gazed at the area where Thane stood.

He picked up a rock and quickly hurled it!

WOOOSH!

The stone shot with immense strength, but Thane discreetly lowered his head, allowing the stone to skate through his hair.

TAK! TAK!

The stone bounced off the back, and everyone watching was surprised at the barbarian's actions.

"That soul... is quite strong!" Thane praised as he slowly held the daggers in his hand.

"What's going on?" One of the battle mages asked.

"I thought I sensed something over there. Merkrow, go and check out if- No!" The barbarian cried, but he was too late.

His distraction in addressing the battle mage led to a crucial step.

STAB! STAB!

Two daggers flew with tremendous force and speed and struck both at the chest.

The dagger stabbed deeply, and Soul Strike was activated.

The flames suddenly dimmed, and the cave was dark once more.

"Run to my voice!" Thane cried as he ran towards the two.

He took out a few more members of the Stabby Family and hurled them,

But with unbelievable instinct, the barbarian in the middle blocked two of the attacks and even pushed his ally to the side as the daggers came flying.

The man, the woman, and the child rushed towards where they heard Thane, blindly running, and even began to trace the wall.

A strange energy began to fill the barbarians as they howled.

"War Cry! Master, they are Power users! Instead of Mana Cores, they have Power Cores!" Libra warned.

"Use Earth Cleaver! Now!" The barbarian in the middle commanded, and the trio wielded their respective weapons, which were now coated with a strange power.

"That's Power! Think of it as they are casting a spell! Defend, master!" Libra cried.

Thane extended his arm as he passed by the woman and the child.

"Earth Cleaver!" The three barbarians cried as they slammed their weapons, and a great amount of kinetic energy shot through the ground.

"Big Bonky!" Thane brought out his largest and most durable weapon.

The massive stone club of the Cyclops was larger than Thane's entire height and width. The large stone crashed down, and Thane stood his ground using it as a shield.

BOOM!

The ground shook, and stones and dirt cut through the ground.

Thane was being pushed back, but managed to stop the cutting force from reaching those behind him.

The shock wave still threw the three behind Thane to the ground.

Big Bonky disappeared as Thane moved forward.

"On!"

FWIP!

The countdown started, but as time was moving five times slower, Thane had more time to aim and harness both Spirit and Soul Bind. He had taken out three weapons. Stabby McGee, Stabby Boi's Next of Kin, and New Pointy Justice.

He quickly hurled two daggers at the torsos of the middle barbarian and the right one.

The middle barbarian blocked with his weapons, but as he had just used a skill, he was not quick enough, and the dagger struck his forearm.

The other barbarian received an attack on his chest.

His bulging muscles could not protect against [Spirit Point Strike], and it dug deep in his rib cage.

Soul strike was inflicted, and the two barbarian's felt as if their entire bodies were on fire for a split second!

The wild cry of his two allies surprised the last barbarian who stood on guard.

BOOOM!

A loud sound was heard to his right, and the Barbarian swung his weapon.

BANG!

His weapon struck Big Bonky, who landed on the ground.

Thane was moving to the right and drove New Pointy Justice into the man's neck.

STAB!

Quickly charging back, Thane rushed back while calling Big Bonky back to his inventory, as the middle barbarian regained his wits and quickly slashed a blade.

The sword swing missed as Thane pulled out the dagger from the battle mage and hurled it at the other Barbarian, who was still screaming in pain.

STAB!

With a dagger digging deep into the skull, only one barbarian was left alive.

"Runder! Vest!" The middle barbarian called out, but no one replied.

Thane stood quietly. His spirit covered him as he controlled his breathing. He knew that the barbarian in front of him had terrifying senses. Thane kept his weapons and stood up silently, thinking about what to do and how to attack the Barbarian.

The barbarian yanked the dagger in his hand, trembling from the searing pain that the dagger inflicted on him.

"What poison... did you use? Are you an assa... assassin? Who sent you?" The barbarian tried to speak calmly, but the strange pain in his soul was still causing him to stutter.

Thane stood by quietly, waiting for the right moment to strike. Then he saw the staff of the battle mage on his feet.

"Hmmm?" Curiosity got the better of Thane.

Thane quietly stooped down and took the battle mage's staff and looked at it. There was a strange core at the tip of the scepter. Curiosity grew, and Thane tried to move his mana into it.

Suddenly, a bright light shone, and fire appeared at the scepter!

Thane was shocked.

"Master?! What are you doing?!" Libra cursed at the stupid act of Thane.

"A boy?!" The barbarian was shocked to see the young teenager before him.

Thane was alarmed.

"I-I'm sorry! I was just curious what would happen if I poured my mana in here!" Thane answered Libra.

"What?!" The barbarian was confused.

"That is a fire core! If you pour mana into it, it will naturally create fire! Now stop doing that! He can see you!" Libra answered again, but only Thane could hear him.

"Who are you?" The barbarian asked.

"I am... a distraction! That's it! I am the distraction!" Thane reasoned.

"Distraction?!" the Barbarian realized it. How could a boy like that kill his two allies? Of course, there was another!

"Kill him! On!" Thane shouted, and the Barbarian jolted as he swung his sword behind him.

Thane drew out the weapon, Pointy Justice 2: Electric Boogaloo. Spirit and Soul Bind engulfed it as the barbarian in front of Thane was making a mighty swing.

[2]

[Spirit Dispersing Deflection Strike] was ready and as the countdown ended...

[1]

STAB!

Thane drove the spear with a powerful dash and dug the spear deep into the barbarian's back, penetrating through his lungs.

"Guah... Guah... Im... possible... my... Vitality... is... too high...! How... could a boy...?" The barbarian stumbled.

"My strength stat's at 45. And that attack had Spirit Point Strike." Thane explained as he drew closer and yanked out the dagger from the other battle mage. Soul Bind still coated this dagger.

"A... Spirit... user...? How... can you... have such strength...?" The barbarian was shocked.

"It's a long story. Goodbye." Thane bade farewell.

STAB!

...

...

...

"Nice! I killed them all!"

"Master! You have to stop letting your curiosity get the better of you! You are too easily distracted! Do you have ADHD or something?!" Libra cursed.

"Actually, yeah. I think I do."

"Using magic on a core will naturally create a reaction! Don't you know that?!" Libra cursed again.

"Right! I need to binge more and understand why that thing happened." Thane took out the remote and was about to watch.

"Umm... Benefactor? Are you there?" A man's voice called out from the other side.

"Oh! Right! Yeah! I just saved someone!" Thane hopped and ran towards the area where the three stood.
