Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 201 - Defeat of Kenji! Live for you my Beloved Yuri!
The eyes of the audience widened to see Kenji who was squeezed into two square-shaped earthen walls. The explosion in the middle of the field of the Tiger Circle Arena occurred as Kenji shouted while taking out his sword technique.
"North Wind Vortex!"
Kenji's body staggered after smashing the two walls of earth that were squeezing his body, his eyes staring intently at Ashiya who was still standing upright in place.
After Kenji stood fully upright, an earth sword attack launched Ashiya towards Kenji. There was no mercy for Kenji who had just broken free from the two earth walls that were squeezing his body.
Kenji played his sword while cultivating his breathing and cut the ground sword that Ashiya had slashed towards him.
"I'm different from last year" Kenji said in the middle of the fight.
"You're growing, but I can't lose here." Ashiya responds to Kenji's words and releases his brown body aura towards Kenji.
Ashiya suppressed the aura of her brown body to intimidate Kenji. His aura was much larger than Kenji's so he could easily make Kenji tremble due to his aura of intimidation.
"Rain of a Thousand Needles."
Ashiya moved her hand and unleashed a thousand needle attack formed from the ground that shot rapidly towards Kenji. The speed of the attack that Ashiya had launched made Kenji repeatedly rotate his body while smashing his sword creating a whirlwind.
Ashiya repeatedly launched the same attack, as did Kenji who held him back with a whirlwind from the slash of his sword. The long-range battle lasted for about five minutes, not how long Ashiya drew his sword and moved swiftly to attack Kenji.
A sword clash occurred when Kenji fended off the sword slash that Ashiya had swung. The two exchanged attacks for a few minutes, Ashiya's sword slash attacks were extremely aggressive and made Kenji quite a difficulty when fending off the consecutive slash attacks that Ashiya had thrown.
"A Blowing Wind Invisible Eyes!"
Kenji was secretly ready to make a surprise attack on Ashiya. His chest was not very bulging, and it managed to outwit Ashiya. Kenji's mouth breathed an extremely sharp wind darting rapidly towards Ashiya's chest.
"It seems like he doesn't want this match to end quickly! All right, I'll show you my swordplay!" Ashiya was deep in her heart as she ran towards the wind that was pointing at her.
Ashiya tried to fend off the sharp wind that Kenji had thrown but his right arm and cheek were hit by a wind cut and bled. Ashiya's sword slash did not manage to fend off all of Kenji's wind attacks.
After seeing himself unable to fend off Kenji's attack completely, Ashiya approached Kenji and exchanged attacks with his opponent. Ashiya flowed through his sword blade with his brown body aura while his right hand he flowed with deep energy.
Kenji's right hand felt Ashiya's sword slash very different from before, now each of his slashes were extremely powerful and contained, as he was about to take it, even if Kenji did not coat his sword blade with his body aura perhaps the sword that became his main weapon would bounce far away from fending off the consecutive attacks of Ashiya's sword slashes.
"Why don't you learn from defeat?" Ashiya raised her eyebrows staring intently at Kenji. His mouth seemed to open slightly, while his teeth were bluffing. "Don't you already know that you'll never be able to defeat me?!" Kenji bounced back, his chest hit by the sword Ashiya.
"Ughh! Shit!" Kenji wiped the blood on his chest and grimaced with the pain.
"There are times when a man should try his hardest even though he already knows the results. I just want to fight as I can so that he can accept me, at least if I am rejected .., I can smile with satisfaction for having fought as much as I can to get his heart." Kenji smilingly looked at Ashiya who was frowning her forehead.
"Whatchu mean? I don't understand it at all!" Ashiya swung her sword and instantly launched her sword technique attack at Kenji.
"The Land Slide is Falling!"
The sound of clashing swords that were coated with aura was clearly visible in the air, the friction of the aura and the sword made a wind blow in the middle of the field of the Tiger Circle Arena. Kenji was able to fend off Ashiya's sword slash and was already preparing to launch a counterattack.
"Wind Gusts In Incision!"
A clash of light brown and green aura was seen around the swords of Ashiya and Kenji rubbing against each other, the eyes of the two staring intently at each other.
Not long after the two made the same move, Ashiya turned to the side and swung her sword, as did Kenji, the young man from the Kitakaze Clan who was doing the same with Ashiya. Now Ashiya and Kenji exchange attacks and move places when they smash their swords.
Kenji moved faster towards Ashiya while smashing his sword, his footsteps repeatedly performing a gentle trick that made Ashiya become the focus of defending.
Kenji slashed his sword at Ashiya. Now that he managed to make his opponent desperate, this opportunity made Kenji managed to avenge the wound he got by carrying out a stab attack on Ashiya's chest.
"You've grown..." Ashiya grimaced with the pain, but she tried to keep smiling. The silver-haired youth flowed his sword with his profound energy and smashed his sword from afar.
Kenji can fend off Ashiya's attacks easily, he feels he has changed from himself one year ago, but his opponent has yet to unleash all of his strength, Kenji was so aware of that that he intended to fight it out against Ashiya from the start of the match.
Now that Kenji is back nearing Ashiya and forcing his opponent to slash at close range, the clash of swords reverberates as Kenji dominates the attack, while Ashiya defends.
On one occasion, Kenji saw a crack as Ashiya was seen retreating and his foot accidentally stepped on a rock. Ashiya's body balance was slightly shaken, Kenji's sword slash landed right on his chest and exposed Ashiya to an incision in his left chest.
"Straight Wind: Blowing Sword Invisible Eyes."
Ashiya was surprised to see her left chest hit by Kenji's slash. The silver-haired young man gritted his teeth and released a huge amount of his body aura.
Ashiya focused his body aura on his sword blade, seeing Kenji unleashing his sword technique, Ashiya also did the same with his opponent.
Ashiya's sword glowed brown, not how long he had also done the same with Kenji. The movement of his footsteps only followed the direction of Kenji's sword swing as his sword-wielding hand repelled every slash that Kenji had slashed.
"Earth Explosion In Incision."
Ashiya and Kenji slashed their swords at each other, both of them holding back the clash of their swords. The legs of the two of them were now a foothold for them to remain standing, while their hands held the impact of such an extremely draining technique.
"Your attack was indeed deadlier than my attack and you managed to injure my chest." Ashiya smilingly looked at Kenji's eyes. "But when we clash with each other techniques that use body aura, then the winner is the one who has a stronger and bigger body aura!"
Kenji clenched his teeth, he already knew about it. But still if Ashiya said that to him, it felt as if Kenji's struggle from the beginning was a waste.
"I don't care about that!" Kenji shouted fiercely staring behind Ashiya's sharp gaze.
"What?!" Ashiya was surprised to see Kenji exerting all his strength.
"Whatever happens I have to win this game!" Wind gusts were involved louder than ever before.
Ashiya slashed his sword even stronger than before at Kenji. A streak of slashes and relentless attacks could still be fended off by Kenji.
"Split In Endless Exposure!"
The clash of swords occurred again, the aura of the brown and light green bodies rubbing against each other. Kenji also slashed his sword to make his final attack.
"The Wind of Loneliness in Solitude!"
Ashiya and Kenji's sword slashes that were coated in aura broke in the air making both of them injured, Ashiya's attack was able to make Kenji take off his sword, ashiya himself suffered a wound to his right chest from being hit by Kenji's sword slash.
Kenji clenched his teeth and clucked in annoyance, his eyes implied sadness because he would feel the bitterness of defeat.
"Damn! What am I doing behind this? Giving up makes everything end faster than continuing to fight and ending up in vain..." Kenji was upset in his heart. His eyes looked at Ashiya who was running towards him.
"But still ..., no matter what happens I don't want to give up!" Kenji also ran without holding his sword, all the spectators were surprised to see Kenji's actions.
"Hey, hey, are you serious?" Ashiya slashed his sword from afar creating a brown sickle-shaped slash. Kenji had intended to avoid it, but his body aura had drained away, even now he was forcing his body.
Ashiya's sword slash hit Kenji's chest. Seeing his opponent still trying to fight him, Ashiya approached Kenji and kicked his opponent's stomach until he fell to the ground.
The kick back landed into Kenji's stomach as Ashiya continued to attack Kenji nonstop. Fresh blood came out of Kenji's mouth when Ashiya managed to land a kick into his heart.
Kenji had trouble breathing and not how long he groaned, his body collapsing to the ground in a miserable state.
Ashiya gnashed her teeth looking at Kenji who had lost fiercely against her.
"Better to give up! You have forced me to play the role of the bad guy in this match!" Ashiya intended to draw his sword at Kenji's heart, but his opponent's body stopped moving.
"Has he died?" Ashiya shook his sword and sheathed it back into his sheath that was neatly tied around his waist.
"Enough! The winner is Ashiya Giyumaru!" Gyuki in a speed that Ashiya did not feel was already beside her.
Quickly, Gyuki gestured for the medical team to immediately give Kenji treatment.
"Alright, we move on to the next game..." Gyuki instantly ended the match and stared intently at Ashiya.
"She was very fast .. I felt nothing but the air gripping from her direction." Ashiya was deep in his heart. His eyes widened looking at Gyuki. A few minutes later, Ashiya returned to the audience seat where the young uninhabited warrior sat watching.
Gyuki let out a long sigh after seeing the fight between Ashiya Giyumaru against Kitakaze Kenji.
"The two participants were not the young man I was looking for. Looks like the young man I've been looking for for seven years is Fuyumi Nagato." Gyuki was deep in his heart.
