Shining Duos

"What the hell is this, some kind of jungle?"

From all where his eyes can see; a dark grim-looking forest was planted out right in front of him. The forest was mysteriously black if one were to gaze upon from the outside and even then color on the trees and grasses was dark green.

"No other options but to move forward I guess..."

Taking one more look around he walked straight into the strange dark forest while also keeping his guard up for any surprise attacks. When he got into the forest he couldn't help the nagging feeling that someone or something is watching him.

'Shit, I know for sure something definitely gonna come out and try to f.u.c.k me over but where the hell do I even go. Oh! Of course.'

Raising his palm he generated a red ball of electricity to illuminate the desolate forest a bit.

'Thinking about it I wonder just what was it that activated during my fight with the beast, and yet it feels so natural and comforting to me. Hmm...'

Getting a sudden idea Kazami stop all movement and even put away his electricity ball. Now in the suffocating darkness, he closed his eyes and started to concentrate and focus.

Reaching deep inside himself he was vaguely remembering the feeling his Divine Marking had given him during the threat of death. In the past, his Divine Marking had always laid dormant and never even let out an ounce of energy once but now because it ignited on its own to wake up Kazami and then Kazami awaken it on his own to kill the beast he can vaguely sense an unknown godly power inside himself.

It was right in the middle of his dantian a small but bright pure silver that was still able to illuminate his whole body. Feeling that power inside his dantian; it was like another arm or leg and then;

'WHIR!'

On his forehead his Divine Marking once again shined silver but it wasn't as bright as when he used it on the monster. Although this time Kazami clearly felt the changes to his body and mind.

'Holy I feel like a God in this state, all in my body and mind feels like they were improved by nine times. And my Qi feels like it can rip anything apart; though this is taking a lot of Qi to use. Let see how fast I can rip through here.'

Gaining more and more confidence Kazami bend his legs and got into a running stance. He waited one second, two seconds, three seconds and;

'BOOOOM!'

Like a rocket ship, he blasted off with insane speed pushing all the trees and bushes around him. While running in some unknown directions he decided to form only a red lightning aura for light however he notices something.

'It only has taken an instant now in this state! Then what about...'

Experimenting more while he as still running he dispels his lighting aura and forms a red ice aura. And just like lightning, it formed in an instant.

'Ah-ha not only does this state drastically improve my power it also helps with control.'

Stopping after some unknown time he dispels his ice aura and stopped his Divine Marking; as he was getting exhausted and losing his Qi at a rapid pace.

'RUMBLE!'

'The hell is that... OH, SHIT!'

Looking back behind him he took in everything falling into a massive earthquake that was quickly destroying all in its path.

Without a second thought, Kazami rushed off again only this time he didn't have enough Qi to activate his Divine Marking and was significantly slower than last time.

But then he notice in the distance a soft white light that was shining through all the trees. This light was giving Kazami a secure and protected feeling so he decided to run straight at it as it was his only option.

He got into a distance where he could see just what is causing the light and he saw a white portal that looked inviting to jump into.

'Ah, here we go but wasn't this a bit easy? I feel like I skipped a lot of things or something. You know what f.u.c.k it.' Right, when he got close to the white portal the ground was cracked and was ready to break apart but instead of going in it he jumped up over the portal and dive straight into the darkness.

Right as we were diving the white portal astonishingly unleashed five white spikes that went straight forward to impale him!

'Heh I thought so, I may have skipped most things here but I'm not stupid.' The spikes were extremely fast and in mere seconds they were only five meters apart from him and looking ahead Kazami gazed upon a black portal coming closer and closer towards him. Knowing with the spikes speed and his speed it won't be long before it tore through him.

From this guess, he decisively turned around and created an red lightning-ice shield but it wasn't for defense.

'KA-CHA!'

'BANG!'

Knowing his shield would get teared up by the spikes as soon as the shield was filled with cracks and close to breaking he overloaded the shield with Qi and it bust open right when the spikes destroyed it and tossed Kazami straight into the black portal.
