Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 256 — Spring Sword, Misuzawa Matsuri.
Meanwhile Misuzawa Matsuri is the first of three sisters Misuzawa Hana. And the older brother of Misuzawa Hanabi was fighting against one of the five men of Emperor Orochi who were none other than assassins.
“Misuzawa Matsuri's. Like the rumors. Not only beautiful but you're an expert in swordsmanship. Your sister named Misuzawa Hanabi is also no less beautiful.” Gura smiled grinning while playing his sword exchanging attacks with Matsuri.
The sword slashes of the two continued to exchange. Matsuri stared fiercely at Gura. But now his thoughts were the whereabouts of Merlin and Serlin. He just wished nothing had happened to those two people.
“General Matsuri. I'll help you..” The figure of a sweet woman who had met Nagato in Timun Village had become a military soldier of Kai Empire who was under Matsuri's guidance.
“Kyla? Be careful not to let your guard down. We as women should be able to take care of ourselves, but do not hesitate to ask for help from others. I don't want to lose my precious member again!” Matsuri bites her lower lip in light of Kuina's obscure death. No one even saw the end of Kuina's existence.
“Take it easy, General Matsuri. I have my own pride in being part of your army. Big Brother Kuina's courage will always be with me. I will cross the limits of my abilities!” Kyla looks reliable after joining the military army of Kai Empire under Matsuri's guidance.
“Don't switch your eyes, Matsuri!” Gura shouted and played his sword more brutally. The slash of his sword made Matsuri retreat three steps back.
“Your sword slash is too strong without the slightest softness.” Matsuri sheathed her sword and tied her pink hair. Her white neck was clearly visible and her beauty made the military soldiers of the Kai Empire and the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire gulp.
“I will teach you how to use a good and true sword Matsuri smiled faintly. Then he darted quickly forward while swinging his sword.
Right now Gura felt that he was being played with by Matsuri. Every single sword slash from the pink haired woman infuriated Gura. His eyes dodged as if he wanted to pounce on Matsuri's body.
“Don't teach me! Don't you know who I am, huh?! I'm a hit man! You think I don't know how to kill!” Gura launched a streak of attacks on Matsuri while twisting her body into a whirlwind.
Matsuri fended off the vortex with her swordplay. The sword is pink. While the leaves of the sakura continue to fall out of nowhere it comes from. Every Matsuri moves. The leaves of the sakura will fall down to accompany his swordplay.
Matsuri's swordplay had Gura become his opponent. His sword slash was so soft, yet when he held it back, the thrust from Matsuri's sword slash was stronger than he had anticipated.
Gura launched a barrage of attacks and tried to bluff by kicking Matsuri in the stomach. Matsuri's body moved sideways avoiding Gura's leg kick.
“Do not let your guard down! And never underestimate your opponent!” Matsuri was about to slash Gura's leg, but it was fortunate that Gura pulled her quickly while retreating to keep her distance from Matsuri.
“He really underestimated me! I thought His Eminence Orochi and his army were superior but, what is this?” Gura sat in observing the fight around him. He could see the determination of the military soldiers of the Kai Empire and the warriors of the Kai Empire did not want their homeland to be colonized by Emperor Orochi.
Although the number of military soldiers of the Kai Empire and warriors from the eastern and western strongholds is still far below the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire. Yet their fighting spirit was all greater than the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire.
“They don't want to be colonized. They do not want their homeland to be controlled by foreigners. Just this time I saw a war that touched me. But as an assassin, I've been paid by His Majesty Orochi. No other options..” Gura sat in while observing his surroundings.
“Pay-killer also has self-esteem! I will not betray that!” Gura smiled grinning before returning to exchange attacks with Matsuri.
“Puncture Sword Payment!”
Matsuri jumped backwards to avoid the sword Gura's puncture attack. A purple colored aura was visible from the slash of Gura's sword.
“Blood Sakura Bersemi!”
Matsuri plays faster. His sword ability managed to make Gura silenced. Every attack could not be well withheld by Gura.
Puncture wounds adorned the entire body of Gura. Even the incision wound was clearly visible. Matsuri continued to launch her attacks and gave no gap for Gura to take a breath let alone recover her strength.
“Spring Sword Style: The Warmth of Springing Love!”
Matsuri flowed her sword blade with deep strength along with her body aura. A pink colored light adorned his sword blade. Meanwhile, Gura's eyes widened in shock at the shape of a heart that shone on Matsuri's chest before her body collapsed to the ground as it slashed down on Matsuri's sword.
“I told you. Never underestimate your opponent. If you underestimate your opponent, it's just like you're a person who knows nothing about martial arts.” Matsuri sheathed her sword and Gura's shout echoed. Gura's body was covered in blood. While Matsuri's eyes closed while adjusting her breath.
“That's what Guru Pandu taught us.... Never underestimate your opponent.” Matsuri notices Kyla who killed several military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire with her swordplay, “Keeping peace in the homeland, huh?”
Matsuri helps Kyla and the military soldiers of Kai Empire who are all female. The arrival of Matsuri made the military soldiers of the Kai Empire increase in spirit.
“General Matsuri!”
“General Matsuri with us. You will never underestimate us again!”
Kyla approaches Matsuri after killing the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire with five consecutive slashes. While observing the fight that was still going on, Kyla looked at Matsuri and said, “General Matsuri. By the way where is Brother Serlin?”
Matsuri widened her eyes before sighing deeply, “I also don't know for sure. I myself am not aware of Serlin's whereabouts. Since we returned to the capital Daifuzen and told Nagato about the deaths of Hyogoro, Azai and Kuina Bosses. After that Serlin disappeared.”.
Kyla did not discuss further because all of the military soldiers of the Kai Empire under Matsuri were also unaware of Serlin's whereabouts.
“Nagato? I haven't seen him in a long time.” Kyla muttered before her back came into contact with Matsuri to protect each other.
“Guru Pandu is handsome, but his son has a cold gaze. I like the good-looking and reliable brat.” Matsuri chuckled wryly before drawing out her sword and slashing down the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire.
“Criteria General Matsuri is too excessive. But I think Nagato has that criterion.” Kyla responded to Matsuri's words while playing her sword nimbly.
Matsuri smiled as she looked at the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire who were all men, yet did not dare to fight them now.
“Spring Sword Steps : Wither And Flourish!”
Matsuri's sword slash made dozens of Rakuza Empire's military soldiers break out in cold sweat. The sword slash that formed a huge scythe swiftly shot towards the dozens of military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire before exploding.
The people who were within the range of Matsrui's attack died in an instant when it was hit by that invisible slash. Along with falling bodies and losing their lives like a withered plant. The leaves of the sakura bloomed and fell around the bodies of the people lying on the ground.
