Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
The Dawn 34: Rafinha V Valley
Shockwaves and strong winds were created as Nagato and Gore exchanged attacks. Nagato's ability this time was different from that of four years ago. Now Nagato had also had a friend, and the most interesting of the attacks Nagato had unleashed was any moves that more or less resembled Litha's.
Gore who had no trouble holding back any of Nagato's sword slashes was a little confused from seeing Nagato plotting something. But after exchanging attacks, Gore finally realized that Nagato had not yet expended all his strength.
Gore took a deep breath before spitting fire from his mouth, Nagato who was in front of him immediately blocked the burst of flames with the blade of Kusanagi Sword.
As Nagato was able to fend off his attack, Gore returned something shocking. With flames lining his hands, Gore launched a fiery streak of attacks.
Nagato did more or less the same thing as Gore as the fiery sword slash clashed with Gore's hand punch.
The heat was felt as Nagato and Gore continued to exchange attacks. Nagato was not only quick in playing his sword, but was filled with definite strength.
“How? Do you understand if I do all these experiments for decades?” Gore's smile was full of pride. While Nagato did not care at all about everything Gore said.
Realizing that Gore possessed the ability of Artificial Holy Water, Nagato could not continuously manipulate the aura of his body into fire.
Raiden's sword is neatly sheathed on Nagato's waist pull. This time Nagato used two swords as his weapons, Nagato faintly felt a familiar aura as flashes of lightning filled his pores.
Gore who felt an oddity towards Nagato immediately released a Tenkai that was bigger than before. The aura coming out of Gore's body felt even more gripping.
Nagato who was adjusting his body aura and the new power of the Lightning God Spirit felt a different sensation from his body. Especially when lightning coats the Sword of Raiden.
As Gore shortened the distance, Nagato did not hesitate to release his purple aura. In an instant Nagato disappeared from Gore's sight and stood in front of the leader of the Demon Worship Sect.
“Petir? How is it possible?!” Gore gasped in shock as she saw Nagato move as fast as lightning and released a slash that was coated in fire and lightning.
With both hands covered in flames and the aura of his body, Gore held back two slashes from the Kusanagi Sword and the Raiden Sword. The attack Nagato unleashed was different than usual as fire and lightning enveloped Nagato's body.
“Where did you get this power?” Gore asked Nagato. Because after all this was a very rare thing, of course the changes that happened to Nagato attracted his attention.
Every time Gore spoke or asked him, Nagato just kept quiet and continued to launch his attacks. Although still in the process of adaptation using his new abilities, Nagato did not seem to have any trouble controlling the purple aura.
As Nagato swung his sword vigorously, the two slashes that formed the head of the tiger shot rapidly towards Gore.
The two slashes were indeed deadly, but Gore was able to endure them with the abilities of the Beast Man. Upon seeing Gore's ability to repeatedly throw out his attacks, Nagato clicked his tongue in annoyance.
“Do you not realize if your abilities like that look disgusting.” Nagato said calmly and made Gore laugh.
“Jijik? Looks like your mouth was never taught manners huh?” Gore replied fiercely while directing a hand blow coated in black-colored aura at Nagato.
Nagato concentrated fully and blocked Gore's blow with the Kusanagi Sword, and Nagato cut Gore's hand with the Raiden Sword.
Even though his right hand had been cut off, Gore was still able to move agilely and deliver a quick and powerful punch. The exchange of attacks in Gore's short time again made Nagato desperate.
On the other hand Nekoya and Panda have also exceeded their limits. These two animal humans continued to fight nonstop. Seeing the struggle of his friends made Nagato no doubt use the power of the Shinigami Death God.
Nagato scratched his palm using the Kusanagi Sword before his body was filled with black marks. This black mark filled his body and slowly a black skull shadow appeared on Nagato's body before everything became real.
Gore who saw Nagato's ability widen his eyes, “This ability..” Gore could say nothing. Especially when a pitch-black aura appeared around the skull.
In just a short time, Nagato moved the skull to attack Gore. A sword swing split the ground and shattered the rocks.
“How does she use the same abilities as that woman?” Gore asked within herself when she saw Nagato's ability.
Nagato paid no heed to Gore's facial expression, which was now his concern was the way to kill Gore.
“Have you forgotten what you did?! Litha! Grandpa Hyo! They both suffer because of you!” Nagato drew his sword into Gore's heart. Yet again Gore was still able to rise, after repeatedly seeing the fight of the four higher-ups of the Demon Worshiping Sect, Nagato realized something.
“So you also made Kak Serlin like that.” Nagato looked at the corpse of a man who had risen again to his feet.
“Since the beginning Serlin was dead, and the girl I picked up inhabited the body of a woman named Serlin. Do you know, it's all because of Ancient Weapons? Really great, isn't it?”
Nagato stared coldly at Gore. If he was the same as four years ago, then Nagato would have been provoked by Gore's words. But now that Nagato had changed, he realized that he now had people who thought of him as a friend.
As Nagato and Gore continued to exchange attacks, Nagato stopped his steps and instead saved Laura and Kashima. Even Chibi who tried to protect the two girls lay almost lost his life.
Gore grinned at Nagato's weak side, “The friendship strength makes you weak, Kagutsuchi.”.
Nagato looked at Laura's bloodied face as well as Kashima's, “You have no right to set my way to life. And one more thing, I will not hesitate to kill you thousands of times even if you can rise from the dead!”
Gore laughed as he saw for himself how Nagato was. As Gore is about to attack Laura and Kashima to weaken Nagato, a blue-haired young man comes to kill the human prison guards who have injured Laura and Kashima.
“I didn't expect you guys to actually attack this group...” The blue-haired youth said to Nagato who was waking up Laura and Kashima.
“You..” Nagato remembered this haired youth. But what was most surprising was Gore's facial expression upon seeing the blue-haired youth kill the human prison guard.
“Yuyutsu!” Gore clenched her hands before her body was filled with burning flames accompanied by strong winds, “A cowardly boy like you dares to defy me! And why are you acting like a brave man?!”
Nagato finds out that the blue-haired youths named Yuyutsu and Gore have a relationship. But now the priority is the safety of Laura and Kashima.
“Laura, Shinden, quick stand. I'll save Sonjo.” Nagato looked at Sonjo who was lying on the ground due to being hit by a stab from Wang Zhi's aura knife.
Kashima holds Nagato's hand, explaining to Nagato that the person who had injured her or Laura was a woman who could manipulate her aura into stone.
“Nagato, I can neither escape nor hide. I'll beat him!” Kashima said confidently.
