Samurai Oni
GRANDPA TENGU

The day of the battle, like hell, is not yet fully over. Many of them yokai still roam around Kuran. They waited for the barrier where all the inhabitants gathered weakened, to eat them all.

Yamamoto Kaeda, maintaining his consciousness for the sake of suppressing the barrier was much stronger. Not sleeping for a few days. So did the few remaining samurai.

Then, in addition, Akio was looking for someone.

“Grandpa?”

He saw his grandfather with a man. His long black hair as well as his tattered clothes, reminded him of someone.

“Akashi?”

From behind, she knew that the man she was with was Akashi. Relieved Akio's heart felt a bad feeling, as soon as he approached them.

However, he was just one step away from them. Akashi attacked the grandfather with his own long claws. Up to 3 of his 5 claws pierced through the body, the grandfather was lying helplessly covered in blood.

“AKASHI!!!”

Just seeing him made him angry. I don't know what Akashi is doing, but Akio has no intention of listening. When he saw Akashi kill his grandfather, he did not hesitate to draw a sword.

“Akashi!! What are you doing?!”

Between the sharp blades and claws clashing against each other, the two of them exchanged looks with opposing gazes.

“Mr Akio?”

“Akashi! Did you plan this from the beginning!?”

As he shouted in overflowing anger, Akio lashed out a merciless direct attack. He cut off the claws and slashed his front body. His deep wounds were inflicted by Retsuji's sword.

Akashi is only half-human, so he is injured even if only half his body.

“Tuan ..,”

The highlight of Akashi's eyes was not that of a wild yokai, he only stared at it wryly when he knew the master was looking at him with deep hatred. Highlight the eyes from behind the mask, looking very dark and scary.

Not just once, Akio launched an attack for the second time. But Akashi never once resisted while Akio continued to attack using Retsuji's sword.

Retsuji began to resonate with half Akio's soul, a half bluish light enveloping the body part. As for the light of life that seemed to dim, it was as if attack after attack aimed only at Akashi had left Akio injured himself. Some kind of sacrifice.

“I believe in you because you have a human heart. But this is what you did in return?!”

There were no signs of life in the body of that grandfather, Naruhaya who was known as Tengu's grandfather.

“Akashi! Answer me! Why did you do it?! Are you the real Warrior of Hell?!”

No matter how hard he attacked, blood continued to flow from every wound on his body. That's what happened to Akio while Akashi, no matter how hard he was constantly being attacked, every wound that existed always recovered, regenerated so quickly that it made him look like an immortal.

“Jawab me Akashi!”

“Yes! I did it, Mr Akio?! You're the one who's going to destroy the yokai!”

“Why?!”

“Because Master is the reincarnation of that person ...!”

Once, twice, many times he continued to tear the body even until Akashi's body was split in two. His regeneration continued, faster and more balanced from the start with the Retsuji attack.

“So. Then, you must accept the consequences!”

The Oni mask split into two, and fell to the ground. Other than the bluish light, there was a darkness that resonated with his other half of his soul from Onryou's sword.

“In the end you are the same. Nothing more than a wild yokai that is just self-serving!”

When the two swords were pulled out simultaneously. The two opposing swords were aligned, so that was when the power of attraction came to each other. The forces of good and evil will not be that easy to unite, and if the sword of Onryou is superior because the emotions of hatred Akio has happened as it is today ...

“Akashi! With both hands, sword then promise, you will die in my hands!”

SLASH!!

Akio swung both swords simultaneously, in a cross-handed position, he continued to swing it until it made Akashi's body split apart.

Blue and black light attracted each other to this day. And an attack that leads to that wide range can destroy the yokai around them in an instant. Shaping resembling a spiral, the wind centered on the midpoint continued to develop the strength of each sword.

None of the samurai dared to approach Akio back then. They all bent their knees with shocked eyes.

Akio used his full strength, until the sky roared in fear. When Akashi's body no longer regenerates, that's when Akio stops.

Breathing violently, with both swords and hands covered in blood, he stood up straight and looked at Akashi's face from his white eyeballs.

In a few moments the dust began to subside, revealing the ground footing that dropped down shaped like a large mountain crater. Spots of blood and crazy battle marks, even the hard ground there was made damaged with the incision marks of the two swords.

But, what happened afterwards, Akio's body began to be affected. His entire body was stained with black patches, even his white eyes were at least exposed to blood spots and black spots.

Part of his body did not look fine, in addition to the fatal wound, he was struck by the curse of Onryou's sword.

As for the two swords when grasped by someone, it will affect every emotion of the user. And this is what happened to Akio, while holding both swords but his emotions were unstable and instead more directed at hatred, then Onryou would strengthen and curse him while Retsuji weakened.

Bruk!

The curse of Onryou, the sword of thousands of yokai vengeful spirits began to gnaw at his body as well as soul. Even if he took off the sword it was too late. Little by little the pain spread like a parasitic insect eating the flesh of his body from the inside.

“ARGHHHHHH!!!!”

His screams made everyone there start to wonder what was happening. The day when the battle continued, it was now over when the thick clouds were exposed and revealed a clear sky.

Just not with Akio.

“Kakek ..,”

His chest began to feel tight, his heart beat faster and made him feel even more pain. Moreover, he saw something that he was not supposed to see right now.

“What is this? A memory? Any more? Who?”

He wondered who the memory belonged to, but when he witnessed the memory of the person, he immediately realized.

“Akashi ..,”

Akashi's memories were plunged into his head. When Grandpa Tengu was lying covered in blood and a woman possessed his body, Akashi shouted out loud enough, the memory then ended when he met Akio, himself.

“This ..actually what happened?”

Negative emotions slowly fade but the curse does not weaken. And the biggest question remains unanswered.
