Samurai Oni
OLD GRANDPA

Yokai appears very different than usual. Akio becomes a full target, but Kizu and the others soon catch up. The most alarming thing was the old man.

“There! There!!”

Kizu chased after him in the form of a fox, launching an attack in the form of sharp claws but unfortunately the old grandfather's reflexes were very good. As soon as the old man turned to look at him, his eyes turned black with golden-yellow pupils. Looks very scary, just by staring and killing that is so strong makes Kizu difficult to evade.

With a stick, he pushes Kizu's body as light as cotton. Throw it down easily until it's hard to move back. Some of the bones inside were destroyed.

“Nekomata, go to Kizu.”

Yasha felt a killing aura from the old geezer. He will not play around as usual, in fact this is also the first time he faced the enemy seriously.

“Who are you?” As she asked, Yasha ran over and pulled the black sword.

“You ask before saying your own name?” his words then resisted Yasha's attack quickly.

The blade of the sword and the wooden stick were pushing against each other. Although presumably made of wood, the stick resembles a sword or a mace because it is just as strong.

“I Yasha Manabu.”

“Oh, then I will tell you. An old geezer who happened to pass.”

TWOAKK!!

Just like when facing Kizu, he hit Yasha very easily. Even with just one arm alone had made Yasha pushed back as far as the residents in the city of Dama.

Yasha hit one of the houses belonging to the residents. It seems to take some time just to get back up.

“What is this?”

“Yokai?”

“There was a Samurai thrown from the river. What really happened?”

All the residents in the city of Dama began to panic because they rarely saw anyone with a sword in his hand now covered in blood. They are very curious about what really happened but also very frightened if the enemy they are fighting is very tough.

“Celaka. Unexpectedly she was that strong,” grumbled Yasha while suppressing her bleeding in the abdomen.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Yes. I'm it's okay. Please do not go to the forest or the river,” replied Yasha, as soon as he stood up.

“What's wrong?”

“What else is it?” A little made Yasha laugh to answer him. “Besides yokai, what else is it?” saith.

“U-ugh ..that's why samurai got weaker over time. Hopefully you do not fall quickly so that we all survive,” he said then rushed to leave Yasha.

In the forest area, not so far away with the waters of the Mizunashi river. Nekomata helps Kizu who is injured and unable to move at this time.

“You can move, Kizu?” ask Nekomata. Turning his form into a big one to protect the injured Kizu.

“You think I'm okay. But more importantly, Mr. Akio. Go and find Mr. Akio. I'm very worried,” said Kizu.

“No. Yasha asked me to take care of you, the term is. And Mr Akio told us not to come any closer, right?”

“Not mean —!”

“Already. Quiescent. What would happen if I left you now, he approached us.”

Nekomata made Kizu lie on her wide back. He was about to escape to the branch of a large tree, and use a shortcut to get to another region quickly. His initial intention was so, but somehow he became difficult to move just because the old man was getting closer to them.

“Kizu! Go!” The sound of Yasha's scream, he then appeared from the opposite direction.

Yasha darted towards the yokai, with the sword blade emitting a powerful aura, Yasha directed her towards the target.

“Better just throw that sword.”

The old man threw it back, but it was just the sword. Mikio's sword is thrown and Yasha's two hands accidentally take it off. But instead of falling, the sword stopped.

“What is that sword? Why do I feel danger.”

Somehow the grandfather looked at him for some time, then chose to dodge before finally the sword returned into Yasha's grasp.

“To fight you, just take out this sword alone. Isn't that right, Mikio?”

“Hm, bizarre. You're yokai, aren't you? What's an old yokai like you holding a sword for? Act like a samurai?”

“Whatever you say. I just hold what I need to hold. That's all.”

Kizu and Nekomata were no longer around. In this way, Yasha can avoid all obstacles and can focus on this one target.

But this was difficult as Yasha had expected. Although the wound and bleeding have recovered, but that does not mean he can be as nice as if injured carelessly.

Yasha must take into account all the movements of the yokai as well as herself as well. He always jumps one step faster to avoid the ground that is often hollow or open gap.

“Looks like I don't match up against you,” said the grandfather.

“So?”

One slash was deep enough, slashing the small body. Without a single shred of mercy, Yasha dared to do so. But he suddenly disappeared after being slashed.

“Where did it go?”

“Rear.” The enemy answered it himself, and it was perfectly appropriate. Too bad for Yasha who was late to react, she crashed into the river. Before splashing there, he stretched his arm to hold on to one of the tree trunks to prevent an even worse event.

“Wah, almost once.”

Yasha almost splashed into the waters of the river.

“Eh? Where else has he gone?”

But, Yasha had lost the enemy at that very instant. Being a little off guard made it hard to react. And now, no matter where it went, even all the ground that was made hollow or cracked or made a crack, has returned to what it was.

“Mr Akio. I'll be there soon.”

Because the enemy that is blocking is no longer there. Yasha also intends to approach Akio, he has a certain premonition that seems to make him very anxious about the master.

As per the feeling felt by Yasha. Now, Akio is dragged by the current into smaller waters. He was very lucky, because he did not plunge freely into the sea.

“Now ...I where?”

He managed to survive after being repeatedly dragged by the current, although the side of his leg was slightly torn apart by one yokai creature. With such a dire state, Akio dragged his body towards the mainland.

Before finally he began to realize that this land is in the city of Bama. The city that had been hit by a blizzard before the season due to the arrival of the yokai is the Snow Woman (Yuki-onna).

“Why didn't he come after me? What really happened?”

The injuries that Akio had suffered were quite serious. He could not last longer if he kept silent there. But at least he can stop the bleeding.

“Now the problem becomes more serious. Is the barrier belonging to the late Shogun really no longer useful?”
