Authors Note
In this chapter, you will learn a little bit more about Umbra and about the bandit camp. But there will not be a lot to do in the present. Beware this chapter is Gory and there are a lot of suggestive themes. As you can tell from the last chapter, this story is about the darkness of Remnant. Of how like our world, it's the humans (and faunus) that can be true monsters.

Chapter 2: A Trail of Blood
Bandit camp, just after dusk.
Umbra was keeping to the shadows, he had to do this smart. These bandits have had no time to hear of their men being gutted in the tavern. He crept through the bushes like a snake in tall weeds. He knew if he didn't want the town to be attacked that he would have to take care of the bandits. He had already failed a few other towns and villages, he wasn't going to let another be burned to ground because of him.
As he approached the wooden walled fort, a bandit with a gun was walking around the walls on patrol. Umbra took out a dagger and held it upside down. As the goon walk by he whispered.
"Hey you!" The lone bandit looked around in fright. He was pissing himself.
"Who's there?!" He said with scared tone, "Come out, I'm warning ya!" Umbra just smiled as he took a stone and threw a rock at the tree to his left. "Who is there!" The bandit took the bait. He started toward the tree, every step he shook with fear. This was good for Umbra, these kind of fools were the ones who would spill the beans after one threat. He knew why he was out here alone, he was Grimm bait should they attack.
As the man reached the tree Umbra lept and put a hand over the man's mouth and dragged him to the bushes. He held a dagger to the bandits throat and shut him up.
"Listen here bud, you are going tell me what I need to know or I will drive this knife though your skull." The bandit went wide eyed, "Do. You. Understand?" The bandit nodded as best as he could. "All right, how many of you are they?" He lifted off his hand from the man's mouth.
"Fifty eight."
"Tell me, how many out of them have Aura?"
"Fifthteen."
"Who leads you all?"
"Dilan the Defiler." The man shivered saying his name.
"Does this gang have any ties to the Last Legion?"
The man tensed up."Tell me!" Umbra commanded.
"I can't talk about them, they'll kill me." The bandit whined. Umbra took his knife and cut a long line into the man's cheek.
"I'll kill you if you don't talk." The man submitted.
"Ok, ok, Dilan is a friend to the leader of the Last Legion. Lucius Tennebrius." He told him, "In the past, they would share women. Is that all you want to know? Please, just let me go!"
"Has Lucius Tennebrius been here recently?" Umbra inquired.
"No, the boss hasn't seen him in months. I heard he was in Vacuo." At this Umbra smiled at the man. "Will you let me go?"
"Yeah, I'll let you go." He said as he plunged his dagger into the man's chest while holding his hand over his mouth to muffle the man's screaming. Blood seeped through his fingers and the man shook for a moment before going still, he died. "Sorry buddy, but choosing this profession has consequences." He pulled the knife out of his chest. Knowing what to expect for the most part, he decided that he was tired of sneaking. Putting away his dagger, he pulled out his rune sword. He stood up and walked to the entrance which was guarded by two thugs with rifles. When the first one saw him, he stabbed him in the gut and turned as he pulled out the blade, disemboweling him.
He ran over to the other guy and ran him through with the sword, then he pushed him off. "Such great guards, eh?" He thought. He turn to the wooden gate, and gave it a push. It's locked. "Shit." He looked to the dead guard and checked his pockets. A key was in one of them. He took at the gate and sure enough, there was a keyhole. As he opened the gate he heard a voice.
"Hey, who's opening the gate?" He smiled.
"Time for blood and souls..." He thought to himself.
Captive tent
Sally was chained up in a cell, she had found herself there when no one was using her. She wanted to die. Subjugated to great abuse and torture, she had lost all hope. She doesn't believe In love anymore. Nor does she believe in fairytales. That man, Dilan the Defiler, had laugh at her tears and called her "Bitch". The man who killed her family and took away her innocence bragged about it to her when he visited her.
She had tried to kill herself once only to be beaten for it. "Bitch," he said, "You'll die when I say so." She prayed for Grimm to come and ripe them to shreds, she prayed for a demon to come and take their souls. She prayed for Dilan to die a slow brutal death. She was only sixteen years old and she only thought about death. Sally pondered why did the world exist, why people could do such things to others.
"Did you hear, Dar's went hunting tonight. He gets to fuck the girl first though, because Dilan gave him permission.." She heard a voice say outside the tent.
"Such a kiss-ass." Another voice said.
"Do you think he'll get rid of the worn out girl?"
"Most likely, she's become so unappealing. We need to go get about four girls and have a party! Do you think Dilan would sanction such a mission if we let him have them first?"
"Yeah, but it would have to be tomorrow and we'll have to go to another village."
"Why? The cowards in Lamplight won't do anything."
"The boss doesn't want a town backed up against the wall. If we take too much, it could cause a rebellion."
"I suppose that's true, let's go fuck that used girl then, I need to relieve some stress."
"I could use a good time as well. Let's do it!" She heard them coming towards the tent, to her. She didn't want to suffer again. When they entered the tent, she was shivering of fear. The two men were ragged and stank of drugs and alcohol. The taller one was a faunus, bull horns on his bald head. "Hey missy!" The human bandit said, "Me and my friend here we're feeling kinda lonely, so how about we take you on a walk?" Sally backed up as far as she could go in the cage.
"She looks like she'd run the first chance she can." The faunus bandit said, "I say we could have fun here."
"You're right, let's have some fu-" He was cut off by the sound of the alarm going off. Something was going on and Sally was thankful for it, hoping that she will finally be free. In either death or life. "Someone's here! Let's go!" They ran outside, she wouldn't see those two every again. Soon after she could hear the sounds of battle: guns, swords and explosions.
The gate of the camp.
"Who the Hel-" The man didn't get a chance to finish his sentence as he was decapitated. The guy stationed at the alarm quickly rang it as fast as he could. Umbra dashed towards him and slashed him across the side. Blood sprayed out of the man like in those ridiculous anime's. Another guard saw him and shot at him with a rifle. He defected every shot with his sword and ran towards him. The bandit in an instant lost both hands as Umbra sliced them off. He screamed only to be stopped by Umbra's blade piercing his face.
Umbra push the man's head off his sword. He glowed with a crimson aura, his sword also as well. Two bandits ran at him, one of them was a tall faunus with bullhorns brandishing a battle axe. The human guy had a machete. Umbra looked at them with a evil smile. "Come on!" He shouted at them, beating his chest with his left fist. He countered their charge with his own. He slid and sliced the human man's legs off, making him fall face first into mud. Umbra got to his feet and lunged at the bull faunus's back. Instead of meeting flesh and blood, he met aura. The blade barely stabbed him, this meant he had to strike piercingly at the areas were he chip away at it or with enough speed and his power, impale him.
"Who the fuck are you?" Said the Bandit Faunus as he spun around and kicked him away. "I'm going to fucking kill you." Umbra smiled at him.
"I'm the Dark Swordsman, and I'm going to eat your soul." He said rather sadistically, causing the Bandit to get really nervous.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" He said. Umbra only laughed.
"People like you." With that he charged with his sword in his hands. Slinging savagely, his form was chaos. Unpredictable and random. The bull bandit couldn't keep up with the agility of the Hooded boy. The boy had him pushed against the wall, ready to deliver the final blow. "Die!" He said slicing downwards. But he was interrupted when the human bandit stabbed him in the side with a dagger after crawling to their fight and leaping as Umbra prepared the final blow.
Umbra pushed him off and pulled the dagger from his side. In rage, he stomped the man's head in with his boot, a crunching sound was made. He looked back to his opponent to see a battle axe sling at him. He jumped back and took the opportunity to maneuver under his tall attacker's right arm, going for the right subclavian, he slit deeply and blood spewed out of the man's armpit. Breaking his aura and killing him in seconds. Umbra looked back to see other bandits watching him. Pointing guns and readying their blades. Umbra felt bloodlust and hate in him, he felt his powers truly activating. He thought about to let it go all the levels and show them hell.
His sword crackled, the red aura surrounding him and it the color of blood. He laughed. Laughed at the idiots who stood in his way. They walked down a road of destruction and it finally has catch up to them. The bandits unsettled, shook in their feet at the unsettled sight. Three bandit captains arrived, they had aura like the bull. "God damned fools." The Dark Swordsman thought. The captains looked at their underlings.
"Why are you all just looking at him?!" Said one of them, he was a short green haired man with a shotgun leaning on his shoulder. A bandit looked towards him.
"Sir, this guy is skilled and pissed, we don't know what to do." The green haired man put a hand on his face.
"Oh for the love of-" He mumbled, "Just fucking shoot!" With that the bandits shot at him only for him to become a blur as he teleported and instantly killed with his sword. He aura was a crimson fire that raged. As he danced from man to man, he saw an opportunity to take everyone out in the area in a stack of dust canisters. He teleported over to a guy with a pistol and rammed him through, taking his pistol, he shot the canister. Causing everyone by it to be burned alive. The three captains sent to contain him were surprised. But they survived due to Aura at the cost of its strength.
"What the hell is this guy!?" Said the Green haired Bandit. Another of the captains with blue hair and antlers answered him.
"Tempest, I think he is the Dark Swordsman, the guy going around Remnant slaughtering guys like us."
"Shit." Tempest said. "Alright, You two go back and tell the boss we have a problem. I'm going to see if this "Swordsman" is as good as you give credit." With that the other two retreated. He turned back to see the boy standing in the open area in front of him. The Shadow pointed his Crimson sword at him.
"What's your name, shorty?" He said with a rouge grin. The green haired man smirked.
"My name is Tempest of the Defiled Captains." He answered. He pumped his shotgun. "What's yours, Dark Swordsman?" Umbra just laughed.
"I have many names, but I'll tell you my real name because it will be the last you hear." He said darkly. "My name is Umbra Redson and your in my way!" He said as he flashed forward to end this as fast as he could. Tempest tried to blast him away with his shotgun, but he flashed to the side slinging the red sword in an effort to strike down his enemy. The green haired bandit blocked it with his shotgun. "Shit, this guy is good." Thought Tempest. He extended his Shotgun into its spear form and jumped back from the engagement. He went into position and thrusters it into Umbra's shoulder. He was surprised to see that his aura did not break and the spear was only able to go so far.
"What the fuck, how the hell?!" Umbra grabbed his spear and forced it out. Tempest about fell back on his butt. Umbra hit the area where the spear hit.
"It something about my semblance, dead man. It's very complicated for a degenerate like you. But know this before I kill you. Every bit of pain, emotional and physical, adds to my power. Every time someone falls before my blade, I am made stronger!" He points to the Captain. "You are nothing but an obstacle, another gallon of blood for me to wade through." He tries to finish it right then and there, but Tempest rolls and pumps the Shotgun Spear, he fires it only for Umbra to kick it in another direction to fire. Tempest knocked him in the chest with the non bladed end of his spear.
"Fuck, I got to be careful with this one, I need one good opening..." Umbra thought. He stopped his dark ego and got serious, getting into a stance with his sword in one hand. The green haired bandit had his spear ready to strike. In one moment, they lunged at each other. As Tempest ran forward with his spear, Umbra sidestepped and reversed his grip with his sword and stabbed Tempest in the back. His aura broke and the blade went through his chest, his Shotgun Spear fell out of his hands as he grabbed the red blade with black runes. It burned him, it burned his soul. Umbra pulled his blade out, Tempest fell on his knees. Umbra flipped his grip on the sword and did a twirl sling. The green haired Bandit Captain's head fell off his body as it hit the ground.
The Reaper just walked forward, he had more to do.
Lamplight Clinic
"As I sat there, I heard the battle. The boy dispatch most of them easily that I could hear. At one point, he was fighting right outside my tent. But, he didn't know I was there yet."
"Did anyone their have an Aura?" Pyrrha asked. Sally frowned.
"Yes Dilan and his Defiled Captains." She had a face full of rage. "I'm glad that he's dead. Your all lucky to not be subjected to such an individual..."
"How? How is it possible for one boy to kill so many?" Weiss said puzzled. Sally looked at the Heiress with disdain
"You must not be from a remote village or town are you?" Weiss gives the girl an insulted look.
"I'm from Atlas." She replied, this only got a laugh from the girl.
"Of course!" Sally replied sarcastically, "It's not like Atlas is the most secure Kingdom in the world, what would you know of the daily struggles of the outskirts of the Kingdoms?" The scarred girl looked absolutely insane with wide eyes. "You don't know what kind of tragedies happen to us. How could you sheltered children know anything!" She looked over them all, making their spines shivers. "How that a lot of the time, the real monsters are Humans and Faunuses." The teens have learned of what kind of life these distant villages and towns far from the kingdoms faired and it made their stomachs swirl with sickness. "Out here, the strong feed off the weak. Bandits, cults and the White Fang. They and the Grimm make life miserable. And your Kingdoms don't do shit. You're Huntsmen and Huntresses, are complete lies. They only stay in the villages and towns not so far from the Cities, but here beyond the mountains? The only hunters that come here are Rogues seeking riches and people like you after some fugitive. Especially if it's someone doing your job."
They all felt sympathy for the girl and these people, even though they felt that the harsh criticism of the Kingdoms was a little too much. Weiss felt the need to show the girl pity, rare for her.
"Well, Sally I'm sorry that you've been these atrocities." She said causing everyone to jaws drop at the rarity of a scene: Weiss Schnee trying to apologize. "Please forgive me for my shock, I've just not used to such brutality."
"Spare me your sympathy, Ice Queen, I know you all just want to find this boy and lock him up. So I'll finish this tale…"
Bandit Camp.
Umbra carved himself a path through the dozens of bandits through the camp. Had about twenty-something to go. His leather coat and hood were drenched in blood. His face had some spatters of it on it. His eyes were murderous and filled with hate. The voices were in the backdrop of his mind and his sword pulsed with the power of those who fell before him. It was tempting to lose control and give in to bloodlust and rage but he knew he couldn't yet.
A Faunus bandit with bear ears came at him with an giant wooden club, Umbra just waited and striked. He fell to his knees and disemboweled the berserker. As he died Umbra got back on his feet. "I need to finish this..." He thought. He was close to the tent on the hill. That's where Dilan will be as well as information on Him. He was met by the two captains from before with Tempest. They looked at him with hate.
"You killed Tempest!" The blue haired antlered one said. The other one, a brown haired man had his bladed revolvers out.
"You Bastard!" He said pointing them at Umbra. Umbra gave them a sly grin.
"Yeah I did. The idiot made a fatal mistake that you've all made." This made the bandits look at one another.
"W-what?" Asked the Deer Faunus.
"You're in my way." With that Umbra lunged at him before he could draw his blade, stabbing the blue haired Faunus bandit through the chest. The Revolver bandit shot at him, but Umbra used his comrade as a meat shield. He kicked the body of his blade toward the duel wielding desperado, causing him to fall, dropping his guns. He walked over to him and stomped on his lower back, breaking his spine and paralyzing him from the waist down. The brown haired man screamed in anguish.
"My legs, I CAN'T FEEL MY FUCKING LEGS!" Umbra flipped him over and put a boot on his neck.
"Alright, tell me, do you fear death?" The Bandit started to snivel.
"Please, don't kill me, I'll turn myself in!" He begged.
"I'm sorry, but I doubt you could and would crawl to a jail cell. Besides, people like you are a waste of space." With a sickening snapping sound, the bandit was dead. "Pathetic." The Dark swordsman continued onward until he was met with a crowd of people. There were the rest of the captains and four scantily clad women chained to each other on their knees with guns at the back of their head. A man with a brown overcoat and long, blonde hair and a axe in his hand stood there. He spread his arms out.
"Welcome, Dark Swordsman, to the Defiled Hill!" He said, "Before you try to kill us let me make you an offer you cannot refuse!" He gestured to the burning camp around them. "You have cleansed the weak from our ranks! Such brutality, such chaos! It is so...delectable!" He pointed at Umbra, "For such prowess, I think you deserve the chance to join us and reap the award of endless amounts of women and riches!" He then raised his hands in the air. "What do you say?" Umbra was baffled at the insanity of such an individual.
"No, I really don't like people like you. An rapist murdering thug who enslave entire towns under your thumbs." He said emotionless. The crazy bandit just laughed hysterically.
"Well, I don't enslave towns, that's my master Dilan's hobby!" He clapped his hands, " But I sure do love playing with girls! And chopping up boys with my giant axe is so fun!" He then jumped up and down. "Such a shame, I sure would've loved playing with you..." Then in a instant he was serious. "Kill the whores and kill this boy as well!" Before Umbra could do anything, the four girls died by a bullet to the head. In rage Umbra charged at him bringing his sword up to kill him. But he was knocked back by a man with a baseball bat with barbed wire. Umbra was surrounded by these elites. If he want this to end fast he would have to activate that power.
He slowly got up. The bandit with the axe laughed at him. "Such a great warrior indeed!" The captains all broke out laughing with him. But as they noticed he joined them as well which made some of them freeze. They looked into his insane crimson eyes. Fear struck them all including axe man. His laughter only got louder and louder. They saw his red aura radiate from him. "What is it Swordsman?" The Man asked the boy.
"I'm going to make you all regret what you've done..." His Crimson eyes bored so deeply into the bandits. He guesterd to the land around him. "Pillaging the land, forcing that town into submission and kidnapping girls for your sick pleasures." He raised his sword and pointed it at them. "You're pathetic existence ends here..." Then he gripped the rune sword and swung it in a twirl, causing red and dark energy to shoot from it, cutting the aura of those surrounding him. A few of them with weak auras were cut in half, the ones with strong aura were either wounded or winded by the force that hit them. It was like someone was burning their auras or sucking them.
One bandit with a sword and shield was the least affected, he charged at the Shadow only to find a insane grin. The red sword found itself in the gut of the valorous bandit. He looked down and saw his blood and aura being absorbed into the sword of Umbra. It was like a conductor, focusing the power into him. The bandit with blood foaming out of his mouth was just pushed back to the ground off the blade to die. Umbra looked around at them with a psychotic smile. He just raised his hands up to his sides with the sword in his right hand.
"Come on!" He shouted to them, taunting them to engage. Three bandits with various weapons charged him from three directions. He simply gripped his sword and swung it around with a twirl, and cut the three in half. Some bandits scared shitless ran away, trying to flee death itself. "Not so fast!" He flashed to them one by one. Leaving the serial rapist bandits dismembered and dead each time. After he was done, there was only axe man. He then pointed his left finger at the Man. "You," He said insane with power, the whites of his eyes blacken. Red sparks covered his sword and his aura was like a crimson fire and red lighting. "You are dead."
The crazy bandit dropped his axe, got on his knees and cried, "Momma! I'm sorry momma! I didn't mean to hurt you! Please! Please!!!" The bandit was whaling with fear. Umbra just walked over to him laughing. Both were without a doubt, bonkers. With one sling of his sword, the mentally ill man's head flew with a spray of blood. Hi body fell forwards. Umbra just laughed and laughed, until his left hand formed a fist and punched himself in the cheek, causing him to fall flat. The Darkness in his eyes faded back to white and his pupils stayed their usually color of red.
"Shit," He thought, "Used to much power..." He then got up and clutched his sword and ran forward. In a quick run he entered the main tent to be left with a horrendous sight. The tent had chains and harnesses with dead bodies in them of men and women. Up ahead in the middle of the tent there was a throne with a man with long red hair and wore what looked like leather armor who sat in it. There was a big round bed with chains hooked to it behind him. The man had a steel looking sword in his hand. He gestured to him.
"Welcome! Dark Swordsman! To my tent of Passion!" He brushed his red hair out of the way. "It's quite a shame you refused my offer to join my men, those women who you got killed would have been yours!" He then traced the edge of the sword with his finger. "It's a shame they didn't kill or knock you unconscious, I would have loved to play with you over there... " He pointed to a harness with a dead woman in it. Umbra was disgusted by the man and the very room he found himself in. "Anyway, they failed. I'm Dilan, the Defiler." He said standing up. "So tell me, why would one boy like you slice his way through my camp to my Tent? Hm?" Umbra looked at him with rage before answering him.
"I'm here for two reasons you piece of shit!" He then twirled his sword around in his hand. "To get information on the Last Legion and kill you." The man laughed at the boys demands.
"The Last Legion? Are you suicidal?" He then slapped his knee. "Little boy, they would crucify you." He then clapped his hands together. "Alright, seeing how I'm good friends to their leader and your about to die, I'll tell you what you want to know!"
"What is Lucius planing!" He said with hate.
"Oh so you know Lucius?" Dilan asked, "Very few know him and very few who did would not willingly talk or be dead." He then guesterd to Umbra. "Anyway kid, I don't know what he's planning but I do know he's in Vacuo. He left after we played a little with some of my past girls." He took his steel sword and flipped it up. "You got one thing, but you're not getting the other!" Then before Umbra could block, he was hit such a force that knock him out of the tent and off the hill to the burning camp bellow.
Umbra woke up in a puddle of blood, not his but some other fool who got in his way. "Shit," The Reaper thought, "That fucker is strong." He got up, drenched in more blood than before. Before he knew it, a steel sword came at him from nowhere. Dodging it, he brought his sword to block another hit. It was Dilan, his face was just if not as insane when Umbra was using his powers. Their swords were locked and they struggled for power. Umbra used his power to flash behind behind Dilan to stab him with his sword. But the Defiler backhanded Umbra across the the yard. Walking towards the Dark Swordsman, Dilan change his sword into blade whip mode.
"You thought you could just come here to my camp filled with my men?! I'll have to tell my brother Roman, the next time I blackmail him about how I killed The Dark Swordsman." Dilan walked forward, Umbra got on his feet and faced the man. The insanity that filled him replaced with strict discipline. "Oh, no more of the real you? Did I knock some reality into your head?" The Defiler asked.
"I got to lure him, one good slash would send him reeling." The Shadow thought. A lash from the whip made him jump back. It cut him in the side. Umbra ran forward to lunge at Dilan only to be met with his steel sword back to it original form. Swords sparked and clang as they fought. Umbra saw an opening only to feel the blade of Dilan hit him. Falling back he saw the Redheaded fiend dive forward to kill with his sword. Rolling out of the way, the sword only hit mud. Pulling it out in anger, he lunged for Umbra. This was a fatal mistake. Umbra side stepped and sliced his right arm off. The arm and sword flew in the air. The Ginger looked at Umbra with hate.
"You fucker!" He jumped at the Dark boy only find a sword in his throat. With a sling, the monsters head fell off. Umbra was tired, this battle was by far the hardest during his one man raid. He went over to a tent and sat down leaning against it. His sword handle was leaning against his shoulder and his blade clutched in his gloved hand. He was thankful the mess with the bandits was over.
"You want to head onwards to Vacuo now, don't you?" The red blade said with a dark echoing voice. Umbra just put a hand on his face.
"Yeah." The blade laughed at this.
"You never tire do you, Umbra?"
"I'll only rest when that bastard is dead."
"I guess this adventure of ours will attract the Grimm here?" Umbra only laughed when he heard the Grimm.
"Wolves to the slaughter." The blade replied.
Captive Tent
Sally listen to the sounds of what sound like two men fighting outside. She hadn't heard anything that close for about twenty minutes now. Swords clash against another. One of those people could be her savior, the other most definitely her hell. In a instant, she heard the sound of flesh being cut.
"Fucker!" She heard Dilan cry in pain. She had a smile appear on her face. Then, she heard something that sounded like a pile of meat hit the ground. A very loud sigh was heard. She was tempted to speak out to the voice but held her tongue back. The tent made a sound, someone was sitting against it. She was quite for a few seconds, then for what seemed like a minute, she heard a laugh. A thick yet soft voice laughed.
The sound of the man get up made her jerk back, hitting her cell and making a ringing sound. Silence came after the commotion. Then steps. Sally was terrified. She didn't want to be used again. The tent flap open and in came a teenage boy with a hood on and covered in blood. His leather coat shined from the light of the torch. He hand a weird sword in his hand. Sally was afraid but at the same time, wasn't. There was something sad to the fearsome boy. He sheathed his sword to his back.
"Do-you need...help?" He asked her, like he was debating what to do.
"Y-yes, I'm lock in here." There was a sign of distress on the boy.
"Shit!" He said going to her cell, pulling out his sword.
"No!" The girl screamed, he was going to kill her. "Not yet, please!" He raised the sword to strike her, she was hyperventilating. Time almost seem to slow as the red blade came down. Sally closed her eyes.
Clang!
She opened her eyes to see the lock on the ground, and the boy open her cell and gave her his hand to grab. It took a moment, before she realized it, she took his hand and got up. She saw his face. Pale skin, red eyes, black hair and a dark scar.
"We have to get out of here, Grimm are coming!" Her eyes widen. On cue, howls erupted from the woods surrounding the camp. "Can you run?"
She tried to swing her leg, only to get pain. "No."
"Shit." He grabbed her bridal style, she was shocked. "I'm going to try and get us away from here!" Then, again he surprised her, ran fast. Beowolves could be heard entering the camp from the exit, but this boy wasn't running for there. He started to glow red and he got faster. When they about hit the wooden wall of the village, they blinked to the other side. This made Sally feel sick and confused. She started to doze off to sleep. The last thing she saw was the boy pulling out his sword…
Authors Note
Thanks for reading the second chapter of my cringy and extremely Edgy FF. I was surprised that people liked the last chapter. I thank you all who reviewed, favorited and followed. I don't know if this chapter was as good, it was supposed to be longer. The fights felt a little fast to me, do you all want long fights or one slash one kill? Or do you want both. I think I could have done better with Dilan's fight though. It ended faster than planned because I want to get the ball rolling. This was a flashback chapter to expand a little more about Umbra and his quest. But this is but a dip compared to the lake of a back story I've created for this hero. Who's Lucius? What's the Last Legion? What is Umbra's semblance and it's powers? Why the hell did his sword speak to him? Well, you'll find out later…
If you liked this edgy story, please review and favorite. If you have some complaints and want to hang me, well review or pm me and explain what's wrong.
