For a brief moment the ghoul vanished from sight causing Litei to break into a momentary state of panic. Riuki stood , his wounds almost healed , that vial really worked.
Clearing his throat he asked ,"Is it done?" , gesturing towards the light show that embodied his being.
Nodding back to him without much thought Litei kept his focus on their blind spot , anticipating the corrupted ghoul's attack. The winds blew lightly , his dirty tunic fluttering in as the sand kicked up a notch.
He scanned thoroughly of the textbook information given by the system. The first thing was— , before he had the time to think , the ghoul sneaked in a strike to his left.
Litei dodged effortlessly and exclaimed noticing the boosts that came with being a Traveler. The leg pulled back , revealing the corrupted ghoul's full body.
"You really did a number on it." , he said to Riuki whilst performing some basic hand signals. He couldn't risk the ghoul understanding their plan.
Immediately the young Sword Saint slid from the smooth , rock surface . In a moment he blipped from both the ghoul's and Litei's vision then casually appeared beside his companion.
Closing his eyes , Sword Saint summoned a set of small , prism shaped , cyan cubes. There were three in total , each hovering above a singular finger respectively. A light flickered into life , burning profusely without obstacle. The flame directed itself around the cubes in repetition five times , then picking up the pace it pierced Ruiki's skin , moving like a snake down his arm leaving no trace behind.
The ghoul rushed at them , the raw , malicious intent seething to the point of suffocation. With the worms cut and not regenerating , they could see its face ; like in Riuki's vision of it , the creature had short , lustrous , blue hair . The eyes wolf sharp , as they lit up the dark night with their moonlight gold glow.
Beneath that sea of blue and gold , a smile tugged it self onto the ghoul's mouth. It was enjoying the sensation of battle.
Both Travelers sidestepped the lunge , one studying the creature's fighting style , the other maintaining his focus on the cubes. (Speaking of the cubes): the light orange energy roots extended themselves and spread throughout Ruiki's core , with each point they reached he felt a boost in vitality and strength.
The use of Resonance Cubes was only supposed to be for dire situations and this was now. His eyelids widened , a miniature sun forming in the blank space , in absence of his pupils.
He raised his sword with both hands , presenting it to an invisible force. Riuki tossed it into the air , the shiing sound sharper , he dashed at the ghoul , his eyes without mercy , his body accelerated as he closed the distance , light orange steam rising from his body.
Nearer to the ghoul , Sword Saint jumped with a rip shot force , his gaze lingered on the enemy's movements , spun around and forcefully grabbed the sword from the force.
A tornado of wind picked up , without touching the ground he stepped on the scabbard pushing himself to move with great velocity. 'Sky Dancer technique : Sun Child.'
"Hkkhh?!!?" , unable to react in time , Raider—a name they came up with for the ghoul—lost one of its back tentacles causing it to shriek in pain.
Studying every move it made , Litei folded his sleeves. He raised his hand forward , then spoke something inaudibly manifesting a black book to appear.
A Grimoire.
The beginner library had told him about it.
Once a Traveler awakened a path they would attain a set of basic skills and Magicians like him had [Grimoire] as one of those skills.
In this case— , he quickly glanced at the skill.

---------------------------------
Trying to not act surprised , he turned his attention to the weapons category. The name of his Grimoire took him back for a moment since the name represents the users personality , moving on he pressed enter for a description:
Description :–> [The will of the outcasts shines upon you. ]
It was just that.
A simple explanation , no stories to tell just a single sentence. It made it easier , as Raider and Riuki came into his line of sight , Litei rushed in their direction.
Moving his fingers in a weird manner , he chanted the words ,"Flamma sub flamma mea , nomen sub nomine meo , pyxus tyrannus fias iustus."

Author's Note ❄️
This is the second chap of the week and the last one will be really long , that's why I'm gonna make it 1600-2000 words .
And for the record the spell he was going to cast was actually in Latin.
I'll study more fight scene writing to improve tomorrow.
Have a blessed week.
