Deranged Writer's Afterword

The cloaked man looks around frantically for Adam.

' This isn't possible...', he thought.

Of course he was severely weakened now, but there's no way someone he had deemed 'weak' could disappear just like that.

" I'm right here..", Adam's voice reaches the man.

The man looks behind him to find a rusty sword coming towards his neck.

He barely manages to block it and stares at his attacker, there was something different about him....his pupils had turned red and a unsettling smirk hung over his face.

Seeing that he had escaped the boy's surprise attack, Adam [?] smirks and says,

" You're not half bad..."

Hearing this the man grits his teeth and swings his scythe horizontally, in response Adam jumps and lands on the blade of the scythe.

Due to the influence of his weight the scythe goes down and Adam makes use of this opportunity to land a punch on the man's chest.

The man staggers back bearing the full force of the punch.

" How...is this possible ?", the man asked a still smirking Adam.

Hearing his question, Adam makes a confused expression and asks,

" What ?"

The frown on the man's face deepens.

' He was toying with me all this time....',the man thought, his anger rising by the minute.

How could the man not feel angry ?

.....

If he had his real strength then this wouldn't have dragged on for so long and now to add on top of all that he was being humiliated by this anomaly...

The man also felt anger at Adam for insulting his father-in law.

'This had to end...now.', the man thought readying himself to end this match.

The man was sure that he could win, from their fight till now he could see that Adam had no technique or art form.. all he had was brute strength. To a veteran like the man this match was a sure victory....even in a weakened state.

While the man thought all this, Adam was swinging his sword in the air as if he wanted to check something.

" This'll do for now.", he whispered to no one in particular.

Adam runs toward the man in a flash and the man blocks his attack, sparks fly in the air as they collide.

The man could see a strange madness in Adam's eyes....the man was familiar with these types of people.

They lived for battle...and most probably die there as well.

The man had killed a lot of people with this same look in their eyes...yet the man felt a strange apprehension.

The both of them fall back.

The man watches as Adam takes in a deep breath and shouts,

" FINALLY....IT'S BEEN SO FUCKING LONG !"

After the man's sudden outburst the whole room goes silent, even the enchantress and Dina stop fighting to observe what was going on....

Adam closes his eyes and when he opens them again, he says,

" Come.", He beckons the man.

But nobody in the room could move an inch.....because of the blood lust the man was releasing.

All Adam had said was a single word and that was enough for the man's knees to feel weak, he felt that if he moved even a single step forward then he would be killed.

Adam's eyes stayed focused on the man as if no one else mattered.

'Me....afraid ?', the man thought stunned.

'There's no way.', the man thought meeting Adam's gaze.

But when he looked into Adam's eyes he felt it again....that absurd fear.

Seeing how relaxed Adam was the man grits his teeth and runs towards him ignoring the sickening feeling of fear.

~~~~

They exchange countless blows and everyone else watched silently.

The cloaked man fought in a graceful manner that bewitched everyone who saw him, while Adam's fighting style was rough and brutal.

Katherine scrunched her eyebrows as she couldn't follow their movements anymore, she had calmed down now that she was no longer bound in chains.

'Adam !', she thought while watching the fight before her.

They had left Adam at the bathroom.....what if something bad happened to him ?

Katherine's mind started concocting stories, increasing her anxiety.

She informs her friends about the condition and they decide to slip out of the room and head towards him.

~~~~

Eric don't know how they managed to slip out of the room.

He was sure that everybody would notice them, but everybody in the room was still focused on the fight between the two men.

Once outside, they start running towards the bathroom, which was quite far.

About half way there, they're forced to stop as they come across four individuals wearing a black cloak.

Eric recognizes the robe since he himself had worn it to break Veronica and Tania out of prison, it was Half Moon.

" I'll take the one on the right.", Max said with a smirk on his face.

Eric sighs and takes out his bow from his subspace.

' I hope he's alright...', Eric thought, already shooting arrows at their opponents.
