Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 103 - Nagato's Disease
Nagato and Demet's fight is over. The fight was won by Nagato.
After the arrival of Grandpa Hyogoro return to the Cakrawyuha Forest. Litha came out from behind the tree and bandaged the wound on Demet's chest with a bandage. It was fortunate that the wound on Demet's chest was not very fatal, it just left a crescent-shaped burn scar on his chest.
Devon did not expect to see Demet submit to the ten-year-old Nagato, then he invited Nagato to duel with him as a fellow swordsman. And, if he loses then Nagato can slash his chest just like Nagato did to Demet.
Nagato accepted Devon's challenge, even he would let Devon slash his chest or kill him if he lost the fight.
Demet let out a long sigh at Devon and Nagato who were about to fight, he who knew best why Devon had done such a thing, until - until his good friend challenged Nagato to a fight.
Litha was so worried for Nagato, but Grandpa Hyogoro patted Litha on the shoulder and told her to look at Nagato's fight closely.
"Someone develops faster when dealing with something real. You easily memorize every move and style I just taught you, whereas Nagato always practiced hard to memorize everything, because he's the type of person who doesn't want to be regulated even he can create his own nurse and sharpen it into his main weapon." said Grandpa Hyogoro tried to calm Litha and give her a little talk.
Devon let out an aura of intimidation and a red-coloured aura came out from his body, his aura looking so smoldering but still enveloping his entire body.
"How could Demet, be able to submit to this brat." Inner Devon stared at Nagato sharply.
Nagato just silently stood up staring at Devon who continued to give off an aura of intimidation towards him.
Devon advanced first to attack Nagato, intending to make Nagato run out of stamina first. Because according to Devon, the fight against Demet made Nagato's power drained quite a lot.
Initially Devon only used thirty percent of his strength, but when he saw Nagato was able to compensate him. Devon realizes that he underestimated Nagato too much.
"Why is your stamina still plentiful, rancid boy." muttered Devon who kept swinging his sword towards Nagato.
Nagato processed his breathing before replying to Devon's words, "How much do you say? I've crossed my power limit since..." Nagato smiled fending off any Devon attacks. "But I won't lose to you."
Nagato counterattacked Devon, his slash was completely deep and every swing of his sword was so contained, that even he was able to make Devon have enough trouble holding him back.
"Heavenly Rainbow Breathing: Yellow Shape." Nagato's heart took a deep breath in one breath. He again attacked Devon with all his might.
The two exchanged attacks for a few minutes, but the fight became one-sided. When Nagato's nose was nosebleed and his left eye was bleeding.
"Damn! My vision is blurred.I do I have a hereditary disease like a mother.." Nagato muttered in a soft voice. After hearing Nagato's words, Devon's heart melted and felt sorry for Nagato.
Devon reduced his strength and now he was only fending off Nagato's sword slash attack.
Hyogoro and Litha's grandfather realized that Nagato had a weak body. And, seeing that Litha was about to stop Nagato back but Grandpa Hyogoro clutched his shoulders.
"Litha, there are times when you have to look at the determination of a man, Nagato has a high self-esteem. If he is pitied when he fights with all his strength, then the Nagato you know will disappear and he will not return." said Grandpa Hyogoro gripped tightly on Litha's shoulders, since he was also aware of Nagato who had the Ancient Curse of the God of Death on his body, all of that made Nagato not live long.
"Nagato, having a pride and determination, you can see and support the person you like." added Grandpa Hyogoro with a smile on Litha.
"S-S-Like" said Litha stammered, because she was surprised to hear Grandpa Hyogoro's words.
"So I like Nagato.." Inner Litha looked at Nagato whom she was looking at. Litha never realized her feelings for Nagato.
Nagato continued to swing his sword and he had given quite a large incision wound on Devon's body. Consciously Devon felt sorry for him, Nagato growled and took a few steps back to catch his breath - stingy.
Nagato stared coldly at Devon, "Do you deliberately insult me," Nagato shouted as Devon did not use all his strength after seeing Nagato's pale face, "I attack like you killed your target, aren't you a hit man."
Devon was silent for a moment when he heard Nagato's words, he understood why Demet was bowing to Nagato.
"I just pity the whimpering" unfinished Devon spoke, a blade-shaped slash of solid fire darting towards him.
"You said you wanted to fight me as a fellow swordsman, did you want to insult my resolve!" Nagato was angry, because Devon was feeling sorry for him.
"I am the son of a swordsman! I don't want to live in shame!" nagato shouted loudly, even after she shouted her mouth was coughing up blood, on her cheeks and lips was seen fresh blood coming out of her mouth.
Hyogoro and Litha's grandfather was stunned to see Nagato who had high self-esteem, even Nagato also did not like it if the fight was tarnished like this. But Nagato's physical condition and health are looking alarming right now.
Devon gulped at Nagato's sharp gaze, only this time did he see the person he was about to kill and was pitied scolding him.
"Alright, I will use my true strength and I apologize for offending you..." Devon smiled awkwardly even he assumed there was something wrong with him.
"I was the one who intimidated him, but why was it that I felt intimidated by him." Inner Devon stared at Nagato sharply.
Nagato covered his mouth as he coughed with his palm.
"Damn! Why am I like this?!" Nagato clucked in annoyance then he set his breath back while wiping his nose with his palm.
Nagato processed his breathing while attacking Devon back, the two of them fighting fiercely this time.
"The shine!" nagato's heart took a deep breath in one breath. With all his might he continued to swing his sword at Devon.
Devon again - again can fend off any Nagato slashes easily. Even he had already injured Nagato's body with a puncture - a stab of his sword. Although it was only a small scratch, but Nagato had enough depleted his stamina and his skin was so thin.
"Clear." Nagato's heart took another deep breath in one breath, then he channeled it into both hands.
"Orangic Trajectory!" Nagato slashed his sword horizontally, then he stepped his foot quickly and made some feint moves to outwit Devon.
"Hampa's room." Nagato's heart, which was now beside Devon, quickly slashed Devon's chest and kicked him quite strongly.
"Aragh!" Devon groaned in pain, yet he had time to digest what was really happening, he saw his chest drenched in blood and it felt very painful.
"What's really going on? Where's she?" Devon searched for Nagato's whereabouts, then he glanced at Demet who was watching his fight with Grandpa Hyogoro and Litha.
"This kid is amazing..." Devon smiled before slumping to the ground.
Nagato pointed his sword at Devon's neck. Actually he wanted to say something but his mouth came back coughing up blood.
