"The sword... Sword Moonlight? You... empty two one?"
Hans was aware of the opponent before him, he quickly took a standby position. One by one the iron slabs of the ballast on Hans's arms and legs release, his enemy this time is not easy.
"It's been a long time, yeah, empty one four. We thought you were dead ten years ago. What's with that hair and those eyes, you changing the color?" khan asked as he continued to swing his moonlight sword to and fro.
"Room two one, did the Emperor send you here?" Hans asked, but Khan just kept quiet and smiled innocently. As if to say, "Try guessing."
Hans clenched his fists and lunged at Khan with a single punch. However, Khan dodged, making Hans' wrist stick in the tree trunk.
"Whatis that? Where does such great power come from? As I recall you used to serve as 'Eyes', who taught you?" Khan did not stop raving, continuing to make Hans out of patience.
"Rose two one, answer me!" he shouted with a threatening tone. Hans plucked his wrist from the trunk of the tree, then re-installed the same horses.
"Fearless, the empty fourteen turned out to be very strong, I..."
Khan returned the attack, narrowed the distance and slashed his sword horizontally, "Moon ray sword technique, horizontal slash."
Hans jumped away. However, Khan kept trying to keep their distance not too far away.
"You should not have avoided, for the original two empty ones were dead, in the war of unification ten years ago."
"Losage two one, how many people did the Emperor send to arrest me?" Hans asked back.
"Room one four, since when is there an over-talking 'Eye!" Khan rampaged, randomly slashing his sword. Although Hans tried to retaliate, Khan easily avoided him.
Hans couldn't focus, which was the reason why his attack didn't hit Khan at all. His mind fell on the princess who was in the temple right behind him. Hans was almost desperate, deeply afraid that the empire might find its weakness.
Khan stomped on Hans' feet so hard that it was embedded into the earth. "Now you can't run anymore, right? Don't shy away, will you?"
"Brengsw*k!" slander Hans.
"The moonlight sword technique, the moon sword dance."
Dozens of slashes snatched Hans' body from various directions, if only Hans had not been trained by the Mid Guardian, Hans would have died from just a single slash. Khan is very strong, even among the owners of numbers.
Khan was able to defend perfectly, all of those slashes only chopped off the outer skin layer and his clothes alone, but it was enough to make Khan startled and retreat backwards.
"What's with that hand? Why is there steel coming out of your skin? The Lizardman?"
Hans was shocked and instantly covered his hand back, but Khan made use of it to maneuver the attack. Khan raised his sword high while continuing to float in the air with one leg.
"The moonlight sword technique, Moonlight Cannon!"
The light on his sword ticked then the sword was lowered aiming at Hans. The moonlight cannon was fired several times. His voice was pounding very hard, but nothing hit Hans due to his agile movements.
Silent step and hiding existence, it's an advanced technique of killer ability.
A small memory flashed through Hans' head, a memory of his time in the special forces of the Sahara Empire. At that time rumors circulated among the owners of the numbers. Rumor about the empty two one that could split the ocean with his sword slash.
"You heard that rumor too, empty one four? He said the single-digit members were even stunned to see his sword art. So, never try to fight it. Moreover, the Emperor was directly close to him."
At the end of the darkness, moonlight began to resonate in Khan's body. His body bent down, preparing to draw out his sword. Hans recalled his old memories again.
"Roof one four, do you remember the rumor about empty two one? Apparently the rumors are real. Look, no matter what happens you should not be directly hit by the ultimate attack of the moonlight sword technique. His name: The Sky Dragon Slash."
"Damn, I have to run away from the guy..."
Hans could not continue his words, his old memories once again returning.
"Initially he would freeze in a slanted position to draw out his sword, after which the sparkle of moonlight would merge with his body, if you had seen him in this state, all you need to do is run as fast as you can to the side, because the terrible slash forms a straight line with an inverted triangle pattern, terrible attack it will continue to destroy anything in front of him until something stops."
"No, there's a temple. Whatever happens I have to hold it!"
Hans put on the body, his two hands directed to the front of the face to form the pattern of the letter X. The muscles in his body began to harden, the typical aura of a knight flowing in his blood.
"The moonlight sword technique, Sky Dragon Slash."
Khan unsheathed his sword, making the flash of light start to destroy anything in its path. One by one the trees flew away until finally all the objects he was carrying hit Hans' body.
Hans was lying on the edge of the attack as he continued to hold it with his body. His two hands were broken, some of his ribs were cracked. Consciousness disappeared.
Khan sheathed his sword back, then came to Hans who was already helpless.
"Why did you even receive that attack, when I was sure you could avoid it with that overpowering body. What kind of secrets do you have."
Khan had great suspicion, especially in the exact direction Hans was coming. Honestly, Khan did not know that there was a dead village and the temple of Dewi Makan, but only waited for a time before he finally knew and visited it personally.
"Well, whatever. It was an interesting fight, so I'll settle for taking your little two fingers."
Thinking or investigating something uncertain was very troublesome for Khan, after all his purpose here was not to meet with Hans, but rather to look for additional materials for the world-class artifacts he wanted to work on as soon as possible.
Khan took out a butcher knife, pointed it at the moonlight until it was embedded in the blade. Then the knife was slashed into two little fingers Hans' hand was cut off.
"Oh, yes. He said in this forest many wild animals and ghosts, quickly wake up and good luck."
Khan left just like that, carrying Hans' two little fingers and going further into the forest with him. The scent of blood emitted by those fingers seduced many monsters and all of them were warmly welcomed by the moonlight sword dance. Khan would only go home after those fingers no longer attracted the Monsters.
