After the warden passed out, Ryūsei quickly brought him to a nearby hospital. He wasn't sure what he was gonna do… Why did the warden let himself get beat up? Why didn't he fight back? Ryūsei needed more information on what's going on, And the only one who could give him that was still unconscious.
A couple of hours have passed since the incident and finally the warden regains consciousness, he slowly starts to stand up.
"Where am I???....." The warden curiously asked as he slowly leaned up. "You're at the hospital, I brought you here since you were in a pretty bad condition" Ryūsei replied, sitting down on a chair next to the warden.
Ryūsei: "They've really made a number on you.... Why didn't you even fight back..." Ryūsei curiously asked, hoping to get an answer.
"Because if I do... They'll kill..... My beloved daughter." The warden proclaimed, he then began to cry.
"My name is Nendo Tsuchi, It's nice to meet you by the way" Nendo greeted with a smile on his face.
Ryūsei: "It's nice to meet you, My name is Ryūsei" Ryūsei happily replied.
Ryūsei: "Do you know where your daughter is located??" Ryūsei curiously asked and Nendo nodded in response.
Nendo: "The Moyasu Gang's base is located in the eastern part of the village....." Nendo replied, he suddenly stopped and kept silent.
Nendo: "But there's a problem, Moyasu, the leader of the gang..... He's stronger than you'd expect anyone I'd ever encounter...." He added, Ryūsei kept silent and slowly stood up from his chair.
Ryūsei: "Stay here and get some rest, I'm going out for a second." Ryūsei proclaimed and slowly walked to the door.
Nendo: "Where are you going??" Nendo curiously asked, he was starting to get worried.
Ryūsei: "To get your daughter back..." Ryūsei replied as he slowly opened the door.
Nendo: "You can't take on the entire Moyasu Gang on your own!!!! At least allow me to-" Nendo yelled, he was extremely worried for the young boy in front of him. He tried to get up but due to his injuries he struggled to even move or stand up.
Ryūsei: "You're too wounded to fight, I'll be just fine on my own-" Ryūsei proclaimed, before Nendo interrupted him.
Nendo: "You can't take Moyasu on your own!!!!! Moyasu was one of the Kingdom's Gādian!!". Nendo yelled, shocking Ryūsei.
Ryūsei: "You mean he's....." Ryūsei worriedly asked. He was still shocked to hear that the one who's doing all of this, the one who's the mind of the organization, was a Gadiān.
Nendo: "He's a former Gādian and he's one of Arashi Ryūgū's disciples..." Nendo replied, answering Ryūsei's question.
Ryūsei: "What happened to him?.... Why did he go rogue?" Ryūsei curiously asked. He needed to know what's going on… Why would a Gadiān go rogue?
Gādian is a title handed to an Elementalist by the King or The Grand Elementalist himself. There basically the Kingdom's Guardians and they're elites and act as the higher-ups of the Kingdom.
It takes a lot of training and recognition to become an apprentice of a Gadiān and a lot of dedication to become a Gadiān.
Nendo: "Moyasu was known as "The Scorcher" Arashi's most powerful fire-attributed knight." Nendo proclaimed.
"During the Fallen God Attack, The day Arashi Ryūgū died. He blamed himself for being so weak he couldn't protect Arashi from the Fallen God"
"That guilt of being so weak took away his pride, He lost the sense of justice and he abandoned Arashi's teachings."
"After Lord Arashi's death, he turned his back on the Kingdom and began to go rogue and started committing crimes against the Kingdom and the other Kingdoms"
"Soon he started to recruit Elementalist in the shadows. Who loyally followed his orders and soon they were known as the Moyasu Gang"
Nendo: "That's the entire story..." Nendo proclaimed, slowly looking at Ryūsei. But Ryūsei remained silent for a few minutes before leaving the room.
Ryūsei: "I'll be going now.." Ryūsei proclaimed, before closing the door behind him.
He walks out of the hospital and jumps up on the roof and jumps from roof to roof until he arrives at the eastern part of the city and once he arrives he sees a metal bunker guarded by two Elementalist.
Ryūsei: "That was easy" Ryūsei muttered, he couldn't believe he found the Moyasu's Gang base so easily. He quickly knocked out the two Elementalist and he opened the door, discovering the underground basecamp.
(Inside The Moyasu Gang's Basecamp)
Misaku: "I'm telling you guys it's true!!!!" Misaku yelled as he got his injuries treated.
Misaku: "There was a powerful Elementalist in the village!!! He kicked Deno so hard he almost cried from his injuries" He added.
Deno: "I did not!!! And he kick yours as well!!!" Deno yelled,looking at Mikasu.
"Well we'll just have to take care of him I guess." A gang member replied. Suddenly the alarm began to ring causing a massive panic around the entire underground base.
Misaku: "What's going on?!!!" Misaku curiously asked, he grabbed one of the gang members who was passing by. "There's an Elementalist who infiltrated the base, and the report says he's all alone." The gang member replied.
Misaku: "What kind of idiot would attack our base all alone" Misaku proclaimed. He started to think about the possibilities of who would attack them, A Gadiān perhaps? His thoughts were then interrupted when he remembered Ryūsei.
Misaku: "What's the color of his hair????" Misaku worriedly asked, he needed to know if it's him.
"It's white, why did you ask??" The gang member replied, confirming Misaku's suspicion.
Misaku: "I think I know who the intruder is, he's the Elementalist we encountered earlier." Misaku yelled, running outside the medical room. He knew very well this might end up bad.
Deni: "I can't wait for this!!!! This time I'll settle the score with that bastard." Deno proclaimed, running outside the medical room and followed after Misaku.
The Moyasu gang basecamp was an underground basecamp having a mini town underground where the houses there are rooms, armory and food storage.
Ryūsei arrives at the underground basecamp after entering the bunker from outside, he then jumps in the air and arrives at the center of the base camp. He then looks around and soon discovers he was completely surrounded by the Moyasu Gang.
Ryūsei: "Surrender now and release the daughter of the warden at once." Ryūsei proclaimed, giving a glare at all the Elementalist around him.
Ryūsei: "We can do this the easy way or the hard way. It's your choice" he added, yelling at them. The Elementalist that surrounded him began to laugh and they all chanted a spell, and weapons then appeared in their hands.
Ryūsei: "I guess we can do this the hard way." Ryūsei proclaimed with a smirk on his face.
Ryūsei: "Meteor Dragon: Photon Blade!!!" Ryūsei then chanted a spell, and a white sword made of light appeared in his right hand. He then quickly charges straight at the Elementalist in front of him.
"Earth Art: Earth Shaker!!!!" The Elementalist in front of him chanted, and the entire ground started to shake causing Ryūsei to lose his balance.
"Shadow Art: Dark Blast!!!!" An Elementalist from behind him chanted a spell and a dark blast headed straight at Ryūsei.
Ryūsei quickly gets up and cuts the spell with his photon blade, shocking all of the Elementalist around him.
"What the?!"
"What is he!!"
"He cutted the spell, is that even possible?"
"What kind of Elemental Art is that?!"
Ryūsei and the Moyasu Gang continued to fight; they didn't know Moyasu was watching from a distance above the battlefield.
Moyasu: "That kid... Why does he remind me of him?.... My Master... Arashi Ryūgū..." Moyasu muttered as he slowly approached them.
The fight continued on and on and more and more Elementalist from the Moyasu Gang were defeated by Ryūsei, one by one.
"What's going on??? This kid... he's beating the pulp out of us...." The Elementalist yelled as he started seeing more and more of his comrades falling.
"Metal Art: Metal Hammer!!!!!-" The Elementalist chanted, unfortunately Ryūsei's launches an assault on the Elementalist before he could chant the spell and knocks him out.
Ryūsei: "That makes it 52." Ryūsei muttered, looking at Misaku. The Elementalist that Ryūsei defeated were ranked around B to A-Rank. It was shocking to see someone defeated them all, especially all by himself.
Misaku: "Wind Art: Aerial Cut!!!!" Misaku quickly chants a spell and an aerial wave heads towards Ryūsei. Unfortunately Ryūsei quickly cuts the spell using his photon blade once again and Misaku quickly falls back.
Misaku: "This is bad!!!!, What is this kid?!!" Misaku mutters as he continues to run but Ryūsei still continues to follow him.
Misaku: "He took on the entire Moyasu Gang on his own and somehow almost defeated the entire gang.... What is he?" Misaku continued to mutter but unfortunately Ryūsei caught up and kicked him so hard he was knocked to the ground hitting Deno.
Deno: "He's more powerful than I expected..." Deno proclaimed, slowly got up with a few bruises and his head had some blood bleeding.
Misaku: "What should we do??" Misaku worriedly asked as he slowly got up with a few bruises and injuries. The two tried to get up and run but unfortunately they had too many injuries making it harder to move.
Ryūshi then slowly walks to them holding his photon blade in his right hand. "You've done your best, It's now my turn." A stranger behind them slowly showed himself from the shadows. His hair was grey and his eyes were red.
"Moyasu!!!!" Deno and Misaku happily proclaimed in unison.
Moyasu: "This kid, Is in a whole entirely different level than you two." Moyasu proclaimed, giving a glare at Ryūsei.
Ryūsei: "You must be Moyasu, the former Gādian of the Kingdom and... Arashi Ryūgū's-" Ryūsei proclaimed, slowly walking to Moyasu.
Moyasu: "How dare you say his name!!!!" Moyasu angrily yelled and he quickly dashed towards Ryūsei.
Ryūsei: "He's fast" Ryūsei muttered in thought, he is indeed surprised that Moyasu suddenly appeared in front of him.
Unlike the other Elementalist Ryūsei fought so far, Moyasu was faster, stronger and more experienced in battle. The assault Moyasu launch was indeed fast but luckily Ryūsei managed to block the punch using his hand knocking him to a wall but unfortunately his hand was starting to burn up.
Ryūsei: "He didn't even chant a spell and his fists are already hot." Ryūsei muttered in thought as he was surprised that his hand was feeling hot, like his skin was burning up.
Moyasu then falls back a distance from Ryūse noticing a white aura surrounding Ryūsei's body. That attack he made was enough to tell that something definitely bothered him. "Misaku, Go and get the girl and a pig." Moyasu ordered as he slowly walks toward them.
Misaku: "I understand the girl, but why a pig???" Misaku asked in confusion. "Just do it." Moyasu replied, ordering his subordinate. Misaku quickly leaves the two of them, while Moyasu sits down on the ground.
Moyasu: "Listen here kid, We can continue our little feud after I figure out something." Moyasu proclaimed, sitting on the ground waiting for his subordinate to return. Ryūsei on the other hand didn't reply as he was confused on what's going on.
Ryūsei: "What's happening here? Is he asking for a time out?" Ryūsei muttered, he is indeed confused. Why would a former Gādian ask for something like this? What is he up to?
Ryūsei: "Guess I'll use this opportunity to rest a bit" Ryūsei muttered, he wasn't going to complain. The white aura around his body then disappeared, without him noticing that it activated or deactivated.
After a while Misaku then returns carrying the girl and a pig but he was exhausted for some reason. "Men, That was so heavy" Misaku proclaimed, he was breathing heavily and his body was covered in sweat.
Deno: "The pig??" Deno curiously asked. "No, The girl-" but before Misaku could speak more he was then kicked in the scrotum by the girl.
Misaku fell to the ground and yelled out "That hurts!!" but the girl yelled at him as well. "Never ever tell a girl about her weight!! You're so rude!!!" She yelled before she passed out.
Misaku: "You could've done that earlier" Misaku yelled, seeing Deno holding a sleeping gas can.
Deno: "Whatever" Deno replied, Misaku then gives Moyasu the pig he requested, causing both him and Ryūsei to stand up from the ground.
Moyasu: "Now that it's here, My name is Moyasu. Leader of the Moyasu Gang." Moyasu proclaimed, looking at Ryūsei.
Moyasu: "My Elemental Art is known as the "Ash Dragon" and my ability is known as the "Scorcher"." Moyasu added.
Moyasu: "My ability lets me instantly burn my opponent. For example this pig right here" Moyasu proclaimed, He then touches the pig, instantly roasting it by the flames.
Moyasu: "Now I may ask, Why didn't my ability work on you? I ain't an idiot who'll just gonna ignore the possibility that you are somehow related to him" Moyasu asked, glaring at Ryūsei with the thought of Ryūsei being "him".
Moyasu: "What is your relation to my master, Arashi Ryūgū." Moyasu asked with a serious tone in his voice.
Ryūsei: "I'm... I'm.. I'm his..... Grandson!!" Ryūsei replied, yelling at him. Flames began appearing from the ground around both of them.
Moyasu: "I don't care about that!!! I don't give a shit that you're Yogan's son!!!" Moyasu yelled.
Moyasu: "Just how!!!! Tell me just how!!!!" Moyasu yelled as the flame from the ground continued to rise.
Moyasu: "How did you obtain one of his abilities? How did you obtain "Divine Protection"." Moyasu angrily yelled, he was extremely pissed seeing someone inherit the ability of Arashi.
Ryūsei: "How??!! How did you know about "Divine Protection"???" Ryūsei asked, and he was shocked to hear that someone knows the ancient ability.
Misaku: "Boss, What's Divine Protection?" He curiously asked, look at Moyasu.
Deno: "What's so special about it? Just hearing that this kid has that ability gets on your nerves" Deno curiously asked.
Moyasu: "Divine Protection is an overpowered defensive ability. It's the ability to let the user become immune to Spell Effects" Moyasu proclaimed.
Misaku: "You're telling me, that kid over there has an overpowered ability like that?" Misaku asked in confusion. Deno: "I never knew that ability even existed" Deno proclaimed.
Moyasu: "It's an ancient ability that originated from the Crowned Dragons. No other Elementalist could possibly inherit it" Moyasu proclaimed.
Moyasu: "But this kid right here, somehow inherited the ancient ability from the legends" He added.
Moyasu: "He couldn't possibly be a Crowned Dragon? Could he? No one has seen them for so long" He muttered in thought.
Moyasu: "My master, the 3rd Grand Elementalist also has that ability...." He muttered in thought once again. He suddenly becomes quiet as something comes to mind.
Moyasu: "Wait, that means... The kid in front of me… He couldn't possibly be..." Moyasu muttered in thought.
Moyasu: "You're the 4th Grand Elementalist aren't you." Moyasu proclaimed, Everyone was then shocked hearing what Moyasu just said.
Misaku: "T-T-The 4th Grand Elementalist?!" Misaku stuttered, still shocked by what he just heard.
Deno: "That explains why that kid was so strong…" Deno muttered.
Moyasu: "Ash Dragon: Scorch Tiger!!!!" Moyasu chanted a spell, and a grey tiger made of ash suddenly appeared out of nowhere and quickly attacked Ryūsei.
Ryūsei: "Meteor Dragon: Photon Fist" Ryūsei chanted a spell, gathering a tremendous amount of Meteor Dragon energy in his right hand.
Ryūsei punches the grey ash tiger, knocking it back to Moyasu. "Ash Dragon Cloak!!!!" Moyasu chanted a spell, causing the tiger that was knocked back to pass through his body.
Moyasu: "Ash Dragon: Burning Ash!!!!" Moyasu chanted a spell, releasing a cloud of ash from his mouth and it quickly surrounded Ryūsei. Suddenly the ash that surrounded Ryūsei explodes and knocks Ryūsei into a nearby house. Ryūsei's body was then covered with a whitish aura once again.
Ryūsei: "Meteor Dragon Photon Blade" Ryūsei chanted a spell, and a white blade made of light appeared in his right hand.
He quickly gets up and launches an assault on Moyasu. "Ash Dragon: Scorch Guard" Moyasu chanted a spell, covering his entire body with grey dragon scales.
Ryūsei then launches an attack on Moyasu, trying to slash him but unfortunately the moment Ryūsei's photon blade touches Moyasu an explosion occurs and knocks Ryūsei back.
Moyasu: "Your Physical attacks won't work against me anymore." Moyasu proclaimed. "The moment you lay a finger on me, My body shall react creating an explosion around me" he added. Ryūsei then quickly gets up and he attacks once again.
Ryūsei: "Meteor Dragon: Photon Fist!!" Ryūsei chanted a spell, gathering a tremendous amount of Meteor Dragon energy gathered in his right hand.
He then quickly approaches Moyasu and then tries to punch him but the moment Ryūsei's attack hits Moyasu an explosion occurs once again and knocks Ryūsei back.
Moyasu: "Surrender, You're outmatched." He proclaimed as he slowly approached Ryūsei. "Even if you have Divine Protection, You won't beat me." He added.
