Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 260 — Fuyumi Fifth Cooperation
The Capital of Daifuzen. The attacks of the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire and the Beast Man became increasingly widespread. Even the Fire Man escaped from being unable to fight Shirayuki.
The remaining Firemen seek the whereabouts of Nagato, Iris and Hanabi. Upon seeing the target they were on guard and assisting the wounded Kai Empire military forces. Bursts and blows pointed towards the three.
Tatara who saw the surprise attack held him back, “Human.... charred?” Now Tatara was surprised to see a human whose entire body was burned by fire.
Nagato realized that there was something strange about the Fireman. The attack was clearly aimed at him and the two girls he was with.
Without a second thought Nagato processed his breathing and darted forward. His hand drew his well-groomed sword at his waist and began to play his sword.
Slowly Nagato's body aura had indeed begun to recover. But now Nagato felt there was a difference in his body. The aura of his body now made him feel more energized. His entire senses increased sharply.
A clash of blows and slashes occurred. Nagato frowned seeing the Fireman holding back his sword slash with a fist. The second attack began to be launched.
From the side, Hanabi and Iris started attacking the other Firemen. While Litha helped Nagato from behind. The combination of attacks from the four directions made the Fire Man spurt fire from his mouth.
Nagato also slashed his sword into a whirlpool of fire. While Iris, Hanabi and Litha attacked using their techniques.
“My fire was extinguished..” Nagato raised his eyebrows when his attack and the Fireman attack was extinguished by the whirlpool of Litha attack.
“Sorry, sorry..” Litha laughed softly at Nagato's expression. Then Litha turned her gaze to stare at the attack of Iris and Hanabi who managed to finish off one of the Firemen.
The phenomenon in front of them was all new. Man is burning, his whole body is filled with fire. For Nagato they were people who possessed the power of Holy Water, yet this was a strange thing in his opinion.
“Did they lose their mind? And can't control the power of Holy Water?” Nagato thought as he made consecutive attacks with Litha.
All the young warriors and military soldiers of the Kai Empire recovered their strength starting to attack the Beast Man. Meanwhile Nagato, Iris, Hanabi and Litha focused on facing the Fire Man.
Nagato looked at Tatara who was fighting the Beast Man with the others. Though this situation, he needed the power of Tatara.
After fighting for a long time. Finally the Fire Man left five people, and they kept their distance from Nagato and the others. Before long the five Fire Humans ran towards the crowd of hundreds of Beast Humans.
Hanabi chased after him with Iris. While Nagato and Litha followed the two of them from behind. With the help of warriors from the eastern and western strongholds united. The Beast Man who numbered about three hundred more made Nagato, Iris, Hanabi and Litha chase the Fire Man.
The chase stopped. When dozens of Beast Humans formed a formation to protect the Fire Man. Nagato noticed the five Firemen who were different from the ones he killed. It seemed like those five Fire Humans were superior to the others.
Given how the Beast Man protected the five Firemen. Then there must be something different from the five Firemen.
“Stop! We face first what is ahead of us!” Nagato signaled Hanabi, Iris and Litha to stop.
“Don't give me orders!” Hanabi cynically steered away from Nagato and attacked the Vast Animal Man whom he had become his target.
“What Hanabi hates you?” Iris asked Nagato as she squeezed her hands freezing the ground and the legs of the Beast Man.
“Yes, she hates me.” Nagato answered. His hand slashed his sword at the unmoving Beast Man. The legs of the Beast Man are unable to move because they are frozen by Iris.
Nagato was able to kill him in a single slash of his sword that was so deep. Nagato looked at Iris and Litha who he thought were just like him.
“I'll freeze the legs of this animal. You two just take care of the rest.” Iris released a chill that spread towards the Beast Human Beasts.
“Good. I didn't expect we'd be working together.” Litha laughed softly and manipulated the aura of her body into the dense water lining her sword blade.
“Three of you don't forget us!” Tika came with a spirited face. The cute twin girl came with Hika.
“Hika will fight with you..” With her face looking adorable. Hika approached Iris and began to manipulate her body aura into ice. Then Tika did the same.
“Then, I will help Dragon and Litha finish off this Vast Animal.” Iris presses the cold to a minimum, “Tika, Hika, I leave it to you...”.
“Take it easy. Hika will hold the legs of Beasts with Tika.” Hika started freezing the ground and the legs of the Beast Man along with Tika.
Nagato began his assault followed by Iris and Tika. These five young warriors from the Fuyumi Clan worked together to protect each other and fight against the vast sea of Beast Humans and were four or even five times their bodies in height.
Litha slashed her sword into the waves of water and killed the Beast Man in one of her powerful slashes. His attack was deep and cut off the body of the Beast Human Beasts who had the form of a Crystal Chicken Beast.
“Crystal Chicken Beast? They are so many..” Litha again manipulated the aura of her body and followed the movements of Hika and Tika who were running around freezing the legs of the Beast Man.
While forming dozens of swords with her inner strength, Iris dodged the stinging attack of the Beast Human Beasts who possessed the form of Crystal Crab Beast. After dozens of ice swords formed in the air. Iris directly swung her sword to cut and pierced the body of the Beast Human Beast that had the form of a Crystal Crab Beast.
Iris can kill him in one hit. Then the beautiful girl ran after the other Beast Man.
Along with Iris who killed the Beast Man who had the form of Crystal Crab Beast. Nagato also managed to kill the Beast Man who has the form of the Beast Elephant Jade Belalai.
But to kill the Beast Animal Man who has the form of a Beast Elephant Jade Belalai. Nagato needs a lot of energy. The rampage from the attack of his trunk coated with aura made Nagato overwhelmed because the legs of the Beast Man Animal who had the form of the Beast Elephant Jade Belalai always detached from the ice that froze his legs.
“Heavenly Rainbow Breathing : Red Form!”
Nagato processed his breathing and launched dozens of attacks in one breath. Slash after slash he kept swinging to kill the Vast Human Beasts who continued to rampage within the Daifuzen Capital.
As if there were no end. The Beast Man who numbered in the thousand was left five hundred. The entire military army of the Rakuza Empire fell victim to the rampage of the Beast Man. Now military warriors of the Kai Empire and warriors led by Mio lure the Beast Man out of the Capital Daifuzen.
Mio continued to run towards the thousands of Rakuza Empire military troops who were fighting with the military forces of the Kai Empire led by Matsuri. The siege from two directions left the military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire ravaged.
Nagato himself did not expect Mio, Namida along with the other female swordsmen valiantly brought the Beast Man to the direction of the thousands of military soldiers of the Rakuza Empire.
Nagato suppressed his body aura and cultivated breathing. Then he was about to leave the capital of Daifuzen with the other young warriors. But seven men confronted them. These seven people were not members of the Akyaku who were eyeing Nagato, Iris and Hanabi, but rather people who came from the Kinai Empire.
“Who are they?!” Kenji felt the aura of the body intimidating him.
“Do you know their identity Fuyumi Nagato?” Renji looked at Nagato who was sheathing his sword.
“I don't know. But they are not like people who stray and pass by. The aura of his body and their gazes signified their strength far above ours.” Nagato replied calmly. His gaze did not shift one bit from the seven people he was looking at.
“Chairman Hana with medical personnel has helped the fight outside the city. We are really in a disadvantageous situation.” Yuri gritted her teeth and held onto her sword sheath.
“We must cooperate and protect each other..” Tatara as one of the most mature young warriors reminded.
“I will protect Princess Chiaki and Princess Chaika,” Inner Takao. His eyes looked at Chiaki and Chaika who were standing beside Ninjin and Yuri.
“I can hold them. We use that to run out of town.” Iris' words made Nagato and the others look at her.
“How to, Iris?” Chaika asked. His eyes stared at Iris for a moment before looking back at the seven people standing in front of them.
“I'll freeze them in about a minute. Use that opportunity to get out of this ruined city.” Iris tried not to let go of the cold because it would provoke the movement of the seven people in front of her.
“Litha!” Nagato pushed Litha's body as one of the burly, black-haired men drew his sword swiftly towards Litha.
Nagato's right hand was pierced by the man's sword. The faces of all the young warriors suddenly turned deathly pale. The man's attack was so quick. But Nagato who can react is actually exposed to injuries that are fatal. The palm of the right hand he used to wield the wounded sword.
Nagato pulled his hand quickly. Blood is flowing. Seen in his palm was a sword stab wound. Nagato's two eyes looked at the man as he faintly sensed a great killing appetite and aura large enough to make a surprise attack.
“Now!” Nagato shouted out the reverie of the other young swordsman. His sword he pulled from the scabbard. Nagato's right hand tightly grasped his sword and held the man's sword slash until the ground was hollow.
Iris and the others immediately ran. Litha did not expect Nagato would always protect her at all times. Currently he was following Nagato's words to go out of the city. When six others were about to pursue. Iris quickly released an enormous chill. The entire street froze and the bodies of the six people from the Kinai Empire froze.
Slowly the roots came out of the ground and bound their bodies. That's not all. One tree of aura so similar to Hisui grew around the six people and let out even more roots.
However the one who attacked Nagato did not freeze his body. The man could anticipate the surprise attack from Iris very well. His speed was probably the same as Nagato's. If Nagato is in full energy. But now Nagato had fought for a long time and consumed a great amount of energy.
Iris could not believe seeing the man who attacked Nagato had launched a back-to-back attack on the young man she loved.
“Dragon!” Iris yells. He stopped stepping staring at Nagato who continued to resist the man's sword slash attack.
“Running!” Nagato shouted to Iris and the others. His head did not look back one bit.
Now Nagato was holding back the black-haired man who continued to launch attacks on him.
“Not bad is also your defense..” The man looked at Nagato seriously. Then he retreated quickly to the back and put his sword on the shoulder, “You are better than these six fools.”.
