Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 194 - Evaporating Emotions
Nagato's eyes widened when he saw Kakugo's hands bruised, though his whole body was wearing a red robe that covered almost his entire body except head up to hair, but Nagato could see both of Kakugo's bruised hands.
The look on Kakugo's face was scared to look at Nagato but a smile continued on Kakugo's face. Seeing that the question popped up in Nagato's mind.
"It looks like this damn thing has been subjected to a very heavy torture. The nails on his hands and feet have been removed ... what exactly happened to him?" Nagato. The look in his eyes glanced at Gyuki who was still closing her eyes, then Nagato intended to rebuke Gyuki who was seen asleep standing up.
"Uncle-" Gyuki opened her eyes and cut off Nagato's words. "You guys have come. Please move forward!" Nagato frowned because Gyuki looked like she was not a random person and of course Gyuki hid her strength.
Nagato and Kakugo stared intently at each other, Nagato's angry emotions fading. He could see that Kakugo had a mental breakdown, a wide smile and a sharp look on Kakugo's face implied sadness.
"The first game of the last 32 of the Tiger Tournament Kai has been selected. Fuyumi Nagato and Kakugo do you not mind this decision?" Gyuki asked the two participants while staring at the bruise on Kakugo's hand.
"I'm not full of luck" Nagato replied briefly, while Kakugo only smiled broadly while nodding his head.
"The top 32 rules have changed. If your opponent does not want to give up, you can kill him and automatically you will come out as the winner. But all the rules are in the hands of the referee, and the referee for the round of 32 is me." Gyuki spoke seriously as she stared intently at Nagato and Kakugo. "I hate the ridiculous death of being too ambitious to win. If the match is one-sided or no longer possible then I will stop it!"
Nagato and Kakugo just silently listened to Gyuki's words. A few seconds later, Nagato and Kakugo kept their distance. They stared intently at each other waiting for Gyuki's match cue.
"Then the opening match of the round of 32 begins!" Gyuki gave a warning to start the match. The two participants stared intently at each other before moving.
Kakugo swung his greatsword against Nagato. All the spectators saw Nagato not pulling his sword, Nagato's hands only touched his sword sheath, while his eyes closed when dodging Kakugo's attack.
All the spectators were amazed, they had only first seen firsthand Nagato's facial expression when fighting.
In one of the stands, Reptile clenched his teeth. The man was deep in his heart, "He is potentially capable of using three absolute powers! If I could train him as a cold-blooded killer from an early age, he could be an important asset to me. Just give a little boost to his emotions then it's all done." Reptile smiled broadly at Nagato's calm countenance and closed eyes.
Explosions continued to occur in the middle of the Tiger Circle Arena field as Kakugo swung his sword towards the ground Nagato was treading on.
"Fire Rock!"
Nagato released his golden-coloured body aura, then he manipulated it into a blazing flame around his hand. Nagato's eyes opened and his gaze was extremely cold, piercing into the sidelines of the bones of the person who saw Nagato's gaze.
"Pillar Fire!"
Nagato clenched his hand and aimed his hand punch towards Kakugo. A blazing, blazing flame shot out from the tip of Nagato's fist forming a fist that extended straight like a pillar of a building.
Kakugo smiled at Nagato's attack. Deftly holding Nagato's punch using his greatsword, an explosion occurred in front of Kakugo. A wide smile continued to grin on his face, Kakugo retreated backwards to keep his distance from Nagato.
The second attack again glued Nagato by taking his fire pillar back, Kakugo fended off Nagato's fire from a distance.
Seeing that his long-range attack could be easily held back by his opponent, Nagato now tried to get close to Kakugo to fight a close-quarter battle with his opponent.
Everyone again wondered in their hearts, considering Nagato did not use his sword, whereas when Nagato wielded his sword, he could easily make Kakugo not budge in the least.
Nagato's movements vary, sometimes he looks very fast, sometimes he is also seen slowing down the tempo of his speed. The melee battle between Nagato and Kakugo was fierce, the clash of fire blows and sword explosions continued to echo in the Tiger Circle Arena.
Kakugo smiled broadly as he swung his sword faster than before, all the young warriors who had been afraid to see Kakugo only gulped in disbelief, down there Nagato did not draw his sword even the young man had not been injured although many times Kakugo unleashed an explosion from his greatsword.
Nagato looked at Kakugo with a careful look in his eyes, Kakugo's movements were clearly visible in his eyes. A faint smile was seen on Nagato's face for a moment, he released his bodily aura and concentrated it on his hands and feet.
Nagato's hands were covered in blazing flames, while Nagato's feet were only coated in a golden-colored aura with dense flames lining the heels of his feet. And it does not attract the attention of ordinary spectators, but other cases with the swordsman who saw Nagato's movement. They knew Nagato was intending to do something.
The explosion that Kakugo caused did not affect Nagato's movements in the slightest, the two exchanged moves and responded to the attack. Nagato's punch started to be less powerful than before, all the spectators in the stands were many who thought Nagato's stamina was drained, but in an instant Nagato's movements were different.
Gyuki who was silent and put on a dull face became a little surprised to see Nagato who did a downward sweep after Kakugo's feet.
Sayu Hisui's eyes widened looking at Nagato who was doing the same movement as him, the fire blazing right after Nagato's heel and Kakugo's feet clashed.
Kakugo's body fell backwards, quickly Nagato again standing up landing his fire-covered hand blow towards Kakugo's stomach.
Nagato's rapid movements made the audience amazed, Kakugo's body that had not fallen to the ground actually bounced far back.
The red cloak that Kakugo wore was torn right in his stomach, everyone was shocked to see the incision marks and bruises on the body of the Kakugo. Kakugo's stomach especially had terrible burns, but the wounds were visible for a long time.
Nagato furrowed his forehead and turned softly in his heart, "Something went wrong, my anger subsided after seeing this damn wound..."
Gyuki looked at the wound on Kakugo's body but her eyes were on the burn on Kakugo's stomach.
"This brat named Kakugo has gone through a difficult time, he comes from the Eternal Fire School. Something went wrong there, even Budou once told me about the leaning rumors in the Eternal Fire College. So this really has been on the verge, the Eternal Fire College is just a gathering of people stealing knowledge from the Kagutsuchi Clan." Gyuki made a soft look in her heart.
Nagato walked over to Kakugo. Seeing that Gyuki was a little curious as to what Nagato was going to do.
"Oi, who made you like this?!" Nagato asked Kakugo but his question was not answered by Kakugo.
Nagato took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, he felt that there was a mistake that made his anger-filled heart start to wobble. His emotions to attack Kakugo began to evaporate slowly.
