NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7: chapter 6 blast to the past part 3
For other purposes, such as fighting, This time, Leone finally shines as she quickly learns all the military combat that Katsu teaches her, but he mostly teaches her how to end a fight quickly because he knows that her weakness is dragging a fight too long, so he trains her to end it quickly before it gets out of hand. He also teaches Esdeath how to fight in all situations and with all weapons. Thanks to his assassin skills, it is easy to demonstrate and teach her.
He also put them to the test by teaming them up to fight him. The result is defeated. This is the first time they work together, so there is some conflict, but gradually they create a bond between them, becoming skillful and cooperative, almost catching up to him, only he didn't even start to use his real weapon.
When night comes, he wants them to have a real battle, so he brings them with him. He left with Esdeath on his back while carrying Leone to head back to the city, this time as a thief. He only needs to find a high-ranking noble in the military and, thanks to his house being noticeably different from other houses, he easily finds his target. Leaving the two outside, he sneaked in and started to search all the documents before finding the information of 100 children that were sent to a dangerous beast forest with a map.
Taking all the information he needed, he restored the place and headed out. With the Black Magic Girl speed boost spell, he quickly arrives in the forest. There are some soldiers, but he left the task of knocking them off to two girls. Leone scouts out all the soldiers before sneaking behind them and punching them so hard that they become unconscious or choke them to death, but she is still new to this whole killing so she sometimes got overtaken but Esdeath quickly arrived and ends anyone who almost slipped. Esdeath years of training from her time at her tribe give her a large amount of experience to kill or stalk her prey so she is like a hunter quickly ending any creatures on her way, slicing the throats or striking them at their head making them unable to speak a word before death. Katsu walks to the command room to kill the big fish with a hand knife.
The two people, Gozuki and Uncle Bill, are calmly looking at Katsu's arrival.
"You are the first one that I dear to do this, but sadly, those weaklings can't do their job, leaving us to clear the trash," Uncle Bill said as his body becomes a large muscular form, his shirt rips apart. His atk changes to 800, but his def is horribly weak at 300 as he rushes to Katsu.
He smirks and simply sides steps as Uncle Bill's body suddenly stops. The monocle over his left eye broke as a clear line of red blood gusted out of his head. His head fell as it hit the ground. Then a sword suddenly pierced through Uncle Bill's body and almost struck Katsu. Luckily, he gives all his attention to Gozuki and blocks the attack with the hand knife, but as he successfully blocks it, the knife breaks.
Of course, the more dangerous one is Gozuki, with an atk of 1300 and 1500 def, and that weapon in Murasame's hand can kill Katsu with a single scratch if he is not careful. Throwing the broken blade to distract Gozuki, he takes out two new hand knives and rushes to him.
Fighting Gozuki is difficult for Katsu because he must defend not only the Gozuki weapon's attack but also his own body parts, which can change shape and sharpen to attack him.He even bends his body to dodge an impossible attack when he is given a chance to blow Gozuki's heart, his body bends to the left like a snake dodging an attack that is impossible for a normal human.
The two battles become more intense as Katsu uses magic to boost his speed and block three attacks at the same time. Gozuki's hair becomes longer every time he moves. It always tries to find a sneak attack while one hand turns into a sword while the other holds Murasame attack. Heck, sometimes his tongue even pieces out to attack him. Occasionally, he lost a few hundred life points trying to block an attack with his arm to change weapons that were broken.
The two girls watch from afar, silently cheering for him, knowing that if they help Katsu, they will only become a burden to him.
When his life point reduces to 1000, Katsu becomes weaker and weaker. Gozuki tries to land the final blow with his hair, but to his surprise, a black hole appears midway through his attack. It sucks the hair, making him abandon it by cutting it. The separate hair sucks into the hole before sending out a white light that Gozuki tries to block and collide with his sword, but the paralyzing effect still occurs because he is stronger than a normal foe and the attack didn't hit his body. The effect was cut short from 10s to 1s, but that is enough as Katsu cut a large hole in his stomach making spilling a large amount of blood.
Gozuki feels his life is fading, he uses his last few minutes to try to end Katsu, another surprise comes to him as his sharp hand went into the giant cylinder and another one appears up from his head. His own hand went through his skull, ending his last breath of life.
After the battle ends, Katsu's body almost collapses while his mind becomes disordered and painful because of overusing magic to boost him off his limit, but he manages to kill his opponent, even obtaining the teigu weapon Murasame and all the weapons that were stored in the camp. The dark magician girl, Esdeath and Leone, help carry him to the forest to meet the children that they have found.
