The samurais fought against the demon, but were all killed.
That was all that had happened up until now.
Seiji remained silent.
"Tell me …" Gungo asked after staring at Seiji for a while, "Did any of them survive?"
"No," Seiji answered.
"Did anyone retreat?"
"Also no."
"Did anyone beg for mercy?"
"Not a single one."
They all fought valiantly and sacrificed themselves.
"Excellent." Gungo's mouth arced up faintly with praise and pride.
Seiji didn't feel good about this smile, but he couldn't say anything because of his position.
The Gungo before him was obviously the "Original Samurai" that Seiji had mentioned.
Then who was "she"?
The village, the villagers, the demon, the power, "she", and Gungo … everything was a mystery.
"May I know 'her' name?" Seiji asked.
"You don't need to know." Gungo stopped smiling.
"… I came here in order to save someone. He should be unconscious right now. I believe that he might be in this shrine … You know him, don't you?" Seiji continued asking.
Gungo didn't answer. Instead, he slowly unsheathed his sword.
This was a signal that he didn't want to say anything else.
All that was left was to fight …
"I'd like to ask one last question." Seiji looked directly at Gungo. "Why are you fighting, Gungo -san?"
The samurais earlier fought to protect the town. They probably didn't know that even if they killed the "demon," the town was destined to be destroyed.
But this "Original Samurai" was different. Seiji felt that he should know the truth.
No, he definitely knew the truth.
No matter if they fought or not, this town would be doomed!
"Use the sword in your hand to understand the answer to this question, Harano -san." Gungo assumed a fighting stance.
Seiji sighed inwardly as he raised his sword and assumed a fighting stance as well.
The snow that had stopped for a while now began to fall again.
A snowflake slowly fell, coming into contact with the ground between the two of them, merging into its own kind.
Kungo's figure suddenly vanished from where he was standing!
Seiji brandished his sword to block his opponent's sudden thrust, continuously blocking his fierce combo!
The clanging sounds of the blades colliding burst forth continuously. It was so intense that there was a hint of flames, and one could even hear a kind of rhythm.
He's really strong … Under Gungo's fierce pressure, Seiji took a few steps back. He resisted the discomfort and the urge to cough and barely managed to fend off the attacks.
Just as he slipped and lost his balance, Gungo drew his saber and aimed at his neck. Suddenly, he made a swift and fierce stab!
But it was intentional.
Body-strengthening Spell, Gale!
Blade Slash "Shadow Cut"!!
When the tip of the blade was about to strike him, Seiji, who had purposely used an opening to bait his opponent into activating a spell as he had expected. He narrowly avoided the stab and counterattacked with a powerful martial arts technique!
Just as the blade was about to slash down, a bright red light suddenly appeared and blocked his slash!
Not only that, but the bright red radiance also wrapped around his saber like flowing water, slowing his movements.
"Oh no …" Seiji instantly had a bad premonition.
* Bam!!! *
Kungo suddenly kicked at Seiji. This kick was accompanied by a bright red streak of light. It was so powerful that it sent Kungo flying. Kungo's protective barrier instantly collapsed!
Seiji adjusted his posture in midair and landed on the ground. He was unable to endure it any longer and started coughing violently, causing him to cough up blood.
"Damn it …" This debuff was truly difficult to bear.
But he had to endure it and endure it.
This was the price he had to pay for invading and destroying someone else's world.
Seiji looked at Seiji. Gungo simply stood there and silently looked at him.
"Why aren't you chasing after me?" Seiji asked.
"I will next time," Gungo answered.
This was the only time he would show mercy.
'Stop playing tricks and bring out your true power!' The handsome warrior sent this message with his gaze.
Seiji received it.
He had wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible, since he might need to deal with "her" later. But it seemed that if he didn't try harder, he wouldn't even be able to defeat this person before him.
He circulated his Mana and cast a spell …
Sealing spell, [Demon Suppression Bell]!
With a loud explosion, a gigantic golden bell appeared out of thin air and enveloped the warrior, causing all the snow around him to evaporate!
The next instant, a bright red light shot out from the bell. Gungo's figure appeared completely unharmed.
He swung his longsword, causing the light to gather like a tidal wave and sweep towards Seiji!
Divine blade, [Wave Slash]!
Seiji did his best to dodge, but his opponent's attack range was quite large. He had no choice but to use his barrier to block part of the attack.
Right after that, he suddenly noticed that his opponent had disappeared.
He felt an incredibly dangerous aura coming from behind him.
Defensive spell, [Turtle Armor]! Seiji realized that he wouldn't be able to dodge, so he could only change direction and focus on defense.
* Boom!!! *
An attack even stronger than the previous one arrived. The bright red light shot up from below and knocked him high into the air. Seiji's barrier was on the verge of collapsing!
Meanwhile, Gungo rode on the light and flew past Seiji as if he was surfing on a beautiful wave. He then raised his sword and created a spiral of light that gathered an incredible amount of power …
Divine blade, [Thunder Slash]!!
Seiji's sword slashed down, bringing with it a roaring red thunderbolt that descended from the sky. It also resembled a giant red eagle that was about to tear apart its tiny prey!!!
'I can't block it!' Seiji instantly came to this conclusion.
He couldn't dodge it either.
He could only use the important skill that he had kept hidden until now …
Whoosh — The red thunderbolt engulfed him!
Fortunately, Seiji activated his skill in time and used a powerful technique to block most of the thunderbolt's power. He gritted his teeth and endured the remaining part.
The next instant, Gungo saw that his opponent was still alive despite being in a sorry state. So, he attacked him at high speed in midair and stabbed out with his sword!!
'Perfect timing!' A fierce glint flashed in Seiji's eyes.
Powerful techniques that were activated with important skills would only last for less than a minute.
However, since his opponent came to him of his own accord, he wouldn't hold back!
This technique, combined with another skill that he had kept hidden until now, allowed him to use his first ultimate technique …
[Bullet Time], activate!
[Desperate Light], activate!!
With the first ability of the Chiaki Card, [Ultimate Performance], he cast an extraordinary right hand that could destroy all supernatural powers in the world. 'I'll let you experience it for yourself …
[Flash Strike] [Demon Breaking Punch] [Infinite Combo]!!!
The samurai, who was about to stab his opponent, suddenly saw countless rays of light surging towards him.
The essence of these rays of light were extremely fast fists!
Bam, bam, bam, bam!
There was a rapid series of punches. Gungo was astonished to discover that the power that he had used to protect himself was suddenly destroyed by the surging rays of light. Countless fists of light landed on his body and directly injured him!
"Aura, aura, aura, aura …"
Seiji punched out in a frenzy. He ignored the tip of the sword that was right in front of him and caused the samurai's movements to become distorted! He caused the samurai's body to become distorted!! In the end, he stopped punching and swung his longsword with his other hand, viciously stabbing out!!!
The tip of the sword pierced the samurai's chest and penetrated his body, causing him to bleed.
Gungo was sent flying while Seiji fell to the ground.
Seiji landed steadily on the ground, while Seiji's body flew in a parabola and smashed through the roof of the shrine.
Inside the shrine, Gungo did his best to stand up, but was unable to do so. He spat out a large mouthful of blood as he knelt on the ground.
He didn't expect … that he would be defeated just like that.
Seiji's gaze gradually dimmed as he looked at the longsword stabbed into his chest.
Various things that he had experienced in his life flashed through his mind. Finally, he focused on the scene of a beautiful woman in an extravagant dress turning around and smiling at him.
"I'm sorry, Master …" Gungo knelt on the ground and bowed to Seiji in apology.
"Thank you … for everything that happened so far …
Useless servant … I'll … take my leave … "
