Rise Of The Scorpion - Chapter 23 Forest of Death Part1/ Trio

Black smoke filled the whole area, a hand quickly grabed Sasori as it pulled him.

Sasori wasn’t suprised, he even allow it to happen.

“Explain” he asked coldly, as he run.

Dorian looked nervous, *Woshhhh*

a brilliant golden light pierced the black cloud, the clouds dispeared, The silver haired knight now looked older, she was wearing a Golden full body armor, her face hidden by a Golden Helmet, only letting the duo see her now golden eyes, a pair of light wings on her back.

The Duo were running at full speed.

Dorian summoned Giant wasps to slow her down.

*Slash*

A Golden ark cut down the wasps.

Sasori felt danger from the Golden energy, far more dangerous than Dorian’s dark energy.

‘Tch’Sasori wanted to retreat using the swift release, but he can’t leave Dorian here.

Sasori then turned and Vanished, he appeared behind the Knight, with an intent to  kill.

*Clang* His Tanto was bloked by golden energy.

*Wosh*

Sasori dodged a sword strike, The two of them glared at each other.

“You will pay for your crimes” She said coldly.

“…”Sasori frowned

The knight raised her sword, Sasori activated his mangekyo, wanting to go all out.

“WAIIITT” yelled Dorian.

“Do you want to get in my way Dark Summoner?” she said with a chilling voice.

“No, but Sasori is like a brother to me, If you want to get him, you’ll have to go through me first!” He stood infront of infront of the knight with an unyielding expression.

Sasori wanted to interfere, but Dorian signaled with his hand to wait.

“Kill me and spare his life” Dorian said, Sasori couldn’t believe what’s happening.

The knight Lady raised her Golden sword as she slashed downwards.

*Wosh*

Sasori wanted to rush as he felt the killing intent, but Dorian kept signaling him to wait.

Sweat ran down Dorian’s forehead,*Glup*

the Tip of the sword was just above  Dorian’s nose.

“To sacrifice yourself for your friend, i was wrong about you Dark Summoner.” she said with a hint of respect.

“And you answer me, why did you kill my subordinates” she said as she glared at Sasori.

Sasori wasn’t fazed, he created a mirror using illusion as he replayed the scenes from today and the ship.

The knight knight was suprised about the mirror, then when she saw the arrogant youth deeds, she grew disgusted.

“I…I im sorry about earlier, i was wrong about him… i didn’t think…” she said as she felt ashamed.

“Oh, it’s ok” said Dorian smiling.

“We need to leave” said Sasori as he turned, followed with Dorian.

After a few minutes, Sasori stopped and looked at Emilia.

“Wwhat?!” she said nervously.

“Why are you following us?” asked Sasori coldly.

“B… because you killed all my subordinates, and…and I’m vulnerable right now!” she said with a red face.

“Fair enough”said Dorian earning him a glare from Sasori.

The Trio began to move, until they found a good spot to camp.

At night they cooked some scorpion meat, Emilia was now asleep, and the two began sat togheter.

“Ne Sasori, we didn’t find any magic beasts, even insects dispeared” said Dorian.

“We need to go deeper into the forest”said Sasori, as he closed his eyes.

“And what should we do about her, she is now weaker and so easy to kill” Dorian eyes glowed red.

“We need someone like her as an ally” said sasori.

Dorian noded.

Unknown to duo, Emilia eyes were open and instead of Blue they were Golden, hearing Sasori she closed her eyes again.
