(Osfor Pov)
'Wow. Ousay is here, damn it that guy will be a pain to deal with. With his crazy short-fuse temper, he will want to challenge Greenman's disciple I want to stop him but I want to see how Asura got after the different tactics and techniques he developed and the fusion of his spiritual buff with his magic. This should be interesting hehe'
"WHERE IS HE?"…
"Oh, crap…"
'Damn it, he must have felt it. It is wired how that guy can smell a swordsman from miles away. Even Greetman was able to differentiate swordsmen's level with just a look…this might get ugly I need to stop this.'
"Shunpo" (Ousay)
'Oh, he is using his signature move right off the bat…'
"Shunpo!"(Asura)
'What that kid he copied it and used the same spell again what a monster...'
"What the Hell" (Ousay)
'Well, everyone seeing this for the first time will have to be surprised hehe that kid is a good taunt.'
"Who are you?"(Asura)
'But I don't think that Ousay is a patient man. And he is not one to be reasoned with when he gets into this state. I think some heavy sake will calm him down.'
"Hahaha what a monster…that Greetman sure has a fine disciple too bad I will need to kill you boy. Then can you keep this up." (Ousay)
'Yep, he will snap. I'll stop this if it gets dangerous. I don't think that Greetman will stay silent at the death of his disciple on the hands of his rival…'
"MULTIPLE CLONES, FIRST BREATH. SHUNPO" (Ousay)
'There he goes that man doesn't know the words holding back. Oh, nice dodge Asura-kun otherwise you would have been transformed into a human needle pillow or blade pillow now? Hehe'
"You damn bastard that would have killed me…You want to play it like that THEN BRING IT ON.
WARRIOR ARTS COMPLETE BUFF." (Asura)
Oh, things about to get spicy he pulled off that spell, it will be straining but I think he should prove a bit difficult to handle now.
"Good reflex boy but that will not help you. SECOND BREATH DIVINE CUTTING BLADE."(Ousay)
'Oh, what a magnificent cut.'
The sheen from the blade started increasing into a blinding light. With a vertical swipe, all the clones sent cutting swings toward the glowing Asura.
'It will be hard to dodge all of those'
"BLACK SHIELD"
'…god, damn it…and I told him not to use it openly. But it proved to be handy. all of the cuts were stopped by the shield. Hmm… it didn't grow probably because the cuts are not based on mana.'
"Being able to block that truly magnificent I will have to go all out then."
'Ah so that was not going all out…'
"Take this THIRD BREATH. DIMENSIONAL CUT"
'No this is dangerous Asura will die like this I have to stop it. Huh what is he doing?'
=====================================================================================
(Asura Pov)
'THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY, he just got here and started hacking away at me fregging DUMBASS.'
"Take this THIRD BREATH. DIMENSIONAL CUT"
'Damn it this time the slow effect is giving me a headache every time he uses a spell it is considered deadly and I enter this mode…give me a break will you.'
After analyzing this attack it seems that he is sending wind attacks toward me from different angles also there are hundreds of suspended cuts in the air I believe that he marked his territory and walking into any of the cuts will deal damage to me. I believe the wind cuts are only a distraction to force me to move toward the cuts so that I get hit with them and panic. Fortunately, my eye can see the mana forming the cuts. I just have to use this opportunity to deal some damage to him. How about this.
"Take this you crazy bastard."
In an instant I used his instant movement spell, I can honestly say that this is a good spell to know it is taxing but thanks to my training I don't feel discomfort with exerting my muscles for a bit.
Using Shunpo multiple times I dodged the incoming cutting waves whilst evading the suspended cuts appearing right in front of one of the clones and delivering a clean hit to its abdomen with the hilt of my sword. The clone dissipates leaving a trail of smoke but I am not one to wait. I know an attack will be soon sent to me as a retaliation so I jumped upwards while transforming my blade to its third form. Desert Viper. It is not that much different than sand scorpion the same shapes remains but only this time the long sword transforms into chain sword. While keeping the saw teeth on the side of the blade it is disjointed but still linked it transformed into metal while with a sharp needle tip.
"BLADE ARTS, SAND STORM"
The blade extended to more than 8 meters with sharp edges and a wicked-looking tip. Swinging it fanatically it danced in the air hitting any object in an 8-meter radius. The damage was real every copy that was hit instantly evaporated. Leaving only two after the flurry of that attack. One of them has to be original.
"Retract."
For those two I need only the second form, the third one is specialized in dealing with a large group of enemies.
"Then have a taste of your medicine DIVINE CUTTING BLADE"
After analyzing his attack I saw that he uses a fusion of wind magic plus his spiritual buffs to enhance his performance with the blade, this man is skilled.
Those attacks look very intimidating and flashy but if he can't connect them then he is unlikely to win this.
After charging my blade with the same wind energy I tried to use the same attack as him but I was utterly surprised. The swing of the blade did not shine the same way his blade did nor did a shockwave was sent. It was as if swinging at thin air. I noticed that the wind magic was still stuck to the blade but before I can fully understand what was happening he charged at me with speed incomparable to before. I believe that his swings now are even faster than that metallic demon I last fought with. But unlike before I am still fully energized.
Dodging the first three slashes was surprisingly easy but then the speed of his attacks increased tremendously right after he gave me a grin showing his confidence and probably admiration.
As dire a situation it may sound it was still manageable. Until the other clone joins in, I could hardly handle the two of them so I was forced to defend. Hoping to find a chance to retaliate from his flurry of attacks.
Then it showed up, an opening. He and his clone mimicked each other trying to slice both my sides at the same time. I used Shunpo to appear behind him right after the wide attack connected to thin air. Surprised I thought he may have become I was confident that I can land a direct hit to him. Only this time my body instinctively jumped backward. Feeling a danger I used Shunpo to further increase the distance from the incoming threat.
This feeling I know very well. It is Death I knew this because these type of counter-attacks were a daily occurrence when training with Master. He used to spar with me every day and always would blend a deadly strike in his normal attack pattern. To increase my awareness and enhance my reaction time he said.
What happened afterward was that one of the two figures that I was behind instead of stopping its blade it continued sideways slicing through the clone and striking at the place I was standing at. If I did not jump backward I would have probably been sliced in half.
The man smirked saying
"Wonderful, I would have taken you as a disciple if you were not connected to that wretched man. Too bad fate is not kind and today you will meet your end boy."
'This man is not to be reasoned with. I should go for the kill.'
Right before I could finish that thought. The man whispered.
"Last Breath, seismic cut."
