Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 257 — Water Ring, Hawk.
“Hawk, don't you have the nickname Wind General?” Opponents of the Hawk who belonged to the Emperor Orochi's five hired assassins resisted the attack of the water waves from the Hawk.
“My innate element from birth is wind. When I opened my aura, I could manipulate the wind with incredible hard work. Do you want to hear the story?” Hawk stopped his attack and manipulated the wind into a wind sword that was so dense.
“Who cares about that! Are you stupid!” The assassin shouted in response to Hawk's words.
“Then there is no other option. I thought before I killed you, we could tell you one last time.” Hawk uses the water power of the Water Ring while flicking his sword, “Isshiki, a hitman from the Blood Sword Association.”
The assassin who turned out to be named Isshiki laughed and attacked Hawk quickly. The two exchange attacks, but Hawk attacks from a distance using the power of the Water Ring and controls the water coming out of the ring.
Waves of water overflowed Isshiki's body. Hawk's palm squeezed and grasped Isshiki's body. The water that formed the fist made Isshiki frown in disbelief if Hawk could catch it easily.
The ring around Hawk's ring finger was none other than the Heirloom Type Ancient Weapon: Water Ring. Depends on its use. Ancient Weapons could be utilized into extremely deadly weapons that could even become absolute protectors. All of that goes back to their respective users.
“Sial! This grip is very strong!” Isshiki moved her body and tried to break away. His body was wriggling left and right. But now Isshiki's condition is no more like a rat crushed by a snake.
“Is there a last word for me, Isshiki?” With his calm face. Hawk approached Isshiki and waved his sword as a bluff.
“There..” Isshiki looked at Hawk who was also staring at him.
“What is it?” Hawk saw Isshiki laughing and both his eyes glared at him.
“I'll kill you! That was my last word before your death, Hawk!” Isshiki unleashed a massive amount of his body aura and smashed a fist that restrained his body.
Isshiki took something out of his pocket. A red pill he swallowed. Seeing that, Hawk was wary of the changes that had happened to Isshiki's body.
“I can feel the power flowing inside my body. This power is incredible. I can't believe that a stranger from outside the Ezzo Continent can create a pill like this!” Isshiki squeezed his hand and tried to feel the power now flowing within his body.
Both of his eyes looked like they had red veins. His muscles are also becoming clearer. Isshiki unleashed an aura of his body in large numbers that was able to make Hawk close his teeth.
“Tenkai!”
Isshiki let out an aura of his intimidation and started the opening attack after taking the mysterious pill. Who the pill was made by. But only two criminal groups that now rule a country can create such drugs. The two groups were none other than the Blood Eater and Viper Familia.
“Tenkai!”
Hawk also released an aura of his body in large numbers. Now Hawk is using Tenkai to avenge Isshiki's intimidation attack. The clash of auras that had both aroused Tenkai was clearly visible in the air.
Hawk is back to using the power of the Water Ring. While controlling and manipulating the water into a ferocious-looking Water Shark. Hawk flicked his finger telling ten Water Sharks to pounce on Isshiki's body.
“Water Ring Steps : Ancient Shark Pounce!”
Isshiki's facial features changed for a moment because he saw ten Water Sharks swimming in the air. He carefully stepped in because he felt Hawk was about to do something. Hawk's look and smile looked very suspicious.
“Water Ring Steps : Big Water Prison!”
Isshiki's eyes were wide-eyed as her body was inside a round water prison. The shape of the prison was large and filled with whirlpools. The Ten Water Sharks swam freely and were so quick to pounce on Isshiki's body.
Visible bubble bent Hawk's head. When Hawk entered the water prison. The air bubble that enveloped Hawk allowed him to breathe freely inside the water prison.
Hawk manipulates his wind element to create a whirlwind inside a water prison. It is seen that Isshiki's body cannot move freely due to attacks from various directions.
Isshiki's biggest weakness is underestimating Hawk. The power of Ancient Weapons Hawk can use well. The potential of an Ancient Weapon if used well, then it could create a stance that was impossible to be possible. Even if it managed to awaken the entire potential of the Ancient Weapon until the weapon underwent an awakening, then the Ancient Weapon user could bring out all the potential that existed in the Ancient Weapon.
‘Looks like he won't last much longer. I'd better get out and compact this water prison.’ Hawk out of the water prison. The water bubbles disappeared. Hawk walked up to the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire while squeezing his hands.
“Water Ring Steps : Unliving Torment!”
Water prison squashed. Ten Water Sharks who swam pounced on Isshiki's body. While the wind vortex that is in the water prison also crowded. When the prison exploded. A bloody whirlpool drenched the spot where Hawk killed Isshiki.
Hundreds of military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire gulped in fear at Hawk. They are still and do not move. Quickly, the military soldiers of the Kai Empire under Hawk's leadership killed those who were fixated on staring at Hawk.
“Do you need help, Tsumasaki?” Hawk smilingly looked at Tsumasaki who was fighting against Emperor Orochi's hired assassin.
Tsumasaki spouted fire from her mouth. Then he manipulated the flames into dozens of spears surrounding his body. While his sword was coated in a burning fire.
“I don't need your help. You just go towards nine o'clock, Hawk..” Tsumasaki swung his sword and shouted quite loudly, “I heard footsteps from thousands of people!”
Hawk closed his eyes and ran to the place Tsumasaki meant. It was obvious that thousands of men in military uniform of the Rakuza Empire were coming from the direction of the forest. A forest close to the capital Daifuzen.
The forest is actually a beautiful forest filled with shady trees and flowers that grow in bloom there. But now from a distance, Hawk could see that the place was already filled with Rakuza Empire military troops who were heading to the Capital of Daifuzen.
“Help from Rakuza Empire? Fucking orochi! He must have killed thousands of innocent people in the Western Province!” Hawk clenched his hands very tightly.
“General Hawk! How'this? We call the amount!”
“Beyond Daifuzen Capital alone we are still outnumbered. And within the Capital of Daifuzen we are overwhelmed against the Beast.”.
“Then so. I don't want my son and wife to be tortured by Orochi and his subordinates. Don't you remember the rumors circulating in Ellesmere Kingdom?!”
“True, we must not let the Kai Empire fall into the hands of Orochi.”
Hawk glanced and listened to the words of his subordinates. He understood why his subordinates seemed to be in doubt about the state of this war. Even he himself had already lived for decades in doubt. To persuade Hizen to be a good human being. He followed Pandu's words rather than following his will to kill Emperor Hizen just as Hayabusa did.
“Guru Pandu's. Perhaps Master loved and respected that brash brother figure too much! Look now! Teacher's son is suffering!” Hawk's innate and releasing aura of his body made the huge water prison return.
“Only by looking at Nagato's eyes did I know! She had never felt real happiness!”
The military soldiers of the Kai Empire who were subordinate to Hawk were surprised to see their leader unleashing such a great killing appetite.
One of the Kai Empire's military soldiers who stared at Hawk gulped, ‘I've been a soldier for years under General Hawk. Sometimes he is always angry and releases killing intent that is not clearly aimed at whom. It seems General Hawk has suffered for a long time. Actually the father problem that made General Hawk up to this?’
