Dawn Of Twilight

And now with Horus as his teacher, he was the perfect solution he could ever ask for. After further spending time together, and knowing about each other well enough most especially as Pride Dracula and the normal Tobi, he could finally get some serious training.

Horus had all the senses of an Ancient vampire, and even more close to that of a Hybrid Awakened. As long as he supervises, his combat and footwork moves it could grow to a level of perfection.

His nature was that of a dragon, not just any dragon but that of an Ancient DragonLion, it was the only kind of its race. Even in its human form, beating a poor excuse of a five years old Rank 1 Hybrid Awakened was as easy as breathing fire from its snort.

Horus further improved Tobi's idea of fighting. Managing to handle Tobi's hard and strong moves, with little or no force at all. This way of fighting made it easy to avoid heavy injuries while putting a lot of strain on his body.

Again, he also had access to the previous Pride Dracula fighting techniques and experience. Horus was able to use those stuff, to correct and improve Tobi's combat imperfections.

Thanks to the refinement of his Mana core, Through the use of Mana Accumulator he was now able to stay up for a month before his performance starts to reduce and that would force him to rest.

With every improvement, Horus became more and more astonished, compared to the rate Tobi was improving the previous Pride Dracula was that of a toddler. Even, when Tobi failed to hit him every time the training didn't stop him, from realizing if he were to put a Rank 2 vapor Ancient vampire to fight him, his opponent would surely lose, and not just by an edge but a whole margin.

And thanks to Horus, whenever he met a bottleneck he would guide him and train Tobi's body in martial arts. He only needed a moment, whenever the fatigue became excessive and due to his new body status as a hybrid awakened, he didn't need Mana to heal his muscles, and quickly his body would recover and grow stronger in a matter of a few seconds, disposing of the lactic acid on his body produces as well.

Looking around his surroundings, Tobi could see no way out of Horus's fog technique. Even though he had mentioned today's training being special than usual, this wasn't what he was expecting at the very least.

Before he could continue his train of thought, or decide what to do, he felt something hit him on his ċhėst which made him took a few steps backward, feeling nausea. The dark fog created by Horus seemed to slowly creep its way through his senses as well as disrupting, the use of his Hybrid Awakened senses even his eyesight.

"To, your right." A loud voice echoed, beside his ears. But as usual, the moment he punched, at the fog, in front of him it was useless. Every time, Horus initiated an attack he would always warn him, but every of Tobi's counterattacks was always futile.

He couldn't even see his own hands, talk less of pinpointing his opponent's location in the fog.

"This is the tenth time, you failed to point out my location, young master."

A part of the fog in front of Tobi started to form an outline of a certain shape as some of it swirled into its middle. When it finished the fog had created a fairly large head that looked like a dragon with a lion's maw, and soon its mouth split wide open.

Seeing this, Tobi did what he thought was best, as he imbues his hands with earth elemental Mana and punches towards the dragon head, with his right fist mustering all his strength.

His fist had hit the fog dragon's head, causing it to dissipate apart. A few seconds later the fog began to tremble again and a new head had now formed in a different place opposite Tobi's side.

And suddenly Tobi felt something grabbed his arm. It forcefully yanked him forward, and a strong force was felt directly hitting him in the face knocking his head back, as he took a few staggering steps backward.

He tried his best to attack, but his fist felt like they were hitting nothing but thin air, as it sunk deeper into the fog again. He formed punch after punch in the direction he was hit from but there was nothing.

At this moment, he felt another hit on his forehead making his eyes blur.

"At this point, you are simply just thinking like a child." Horus's voice resounded beside his ears again.

Seeing this, Tobi was confused he was unsure of what to hit or move toward. This was one of the most difficult situations, he had ever faced in his life. He already had trouble finding his way in the fog, talkless of even hitting what he could not see with his eyes, smell, or even hear its footsteps.

Everything felt reverie, but the same thing occurred over and over again, with every hit of his there was even more retaliations. Before he could think of forming a strategy, something subtle was suddenly felt on the back of his collar and it had pulled him down, slamming his body against the ground. Before he could even get up another fist was felt right on his stomach.

"You simply, just doing the same thing over and over again. If I was your enemy you would have been long dead by now, young master!"

Tobi knew he was saying the truth, a predator won't spare his prey.

'If only I was as strong as that black whip knight, I could easily handle these unceasing beating..."

The moment he thought about the black whip knight, and how that ba*yard had hit his father, mother, and siblings, he felt rage burning up within.

Focusing all that anger and rage within him, his survival instincts kicked in, he didn't want the same situation to repeat itself again.

He promptly activated Mana Vision, scanning the surroundings first in search of Horus, but the only thing he could see was the stupid fogs disrupting his five senses again.

'Okay, this will be very difficult, but I need to fight back if not I will just be a damn punching bag.'

Although he had only activated Mana Vision just in case of emergency at this point he knew it was useless, However, a few seconds later he started to notice something strange.
