Chapter 7 - Serena's awakening

Rogan was at a lost for words when the armored man converted part of his armor to make an intricated Kuriki with many designs forged into the blade itself that made it look like the rippling motions of a still lake when a pebble has been dropped in.

Serena who was standing next to him reacted far faster by grabbing his arm and proceeding to pull him at a speed which caused him to wake out of his stupor and start jogging away from the bridge, which by the amused the Samurai.

" It makes no difference to me whether you run or not but to tell you the truth I expected you to be spineless with the way that old hag Helena coddled you. One of the great Progenitors , Helena Kane. By the way how much did ol' mumsy tell you ?

Do you know how fucked you are ? " The man said from standing on the railing.

But to Rogan it sounded as if the Oni Armored man was whispering every word into his ears with a considerable amount of hatred seeped into his voice .

After being pulled for a distance Rogan pulled his hand loose from Serena and immediately said

" Thank you , but keep running on without me . He's after me , you're much safer without me.....Go fast while I run another way and draw him away from you . " exclaimed Rogan.

Serena looked him dead in the eyes and replied without a sliver of a doubt

" You're going back there aren't you?

I heard everything he said too you know. So what now , you die at the hands of a homicidal serial killer with superhuman reflexes and a Hack on top of that?

I thought you were smarter than you looked. "

Rogan had to admit to himself , she had a point.

Ultimately Rogan decided he would stick with Serena while escaping but if push came to shove he would make sure she lives even if he could not.

" Is this the part that you make a pledge to be a hero ? "

Rogan turned around and saw that the Oni Masked man was no longer behind them but levitating above the bridge in the air in front with his Kuriki spinning in his hand.

At that moment Serena grabbed his hand and pulled him towards walkway tunnel that was beneath where that armored man was levitating and right at the critical part when they were about 6 steps away from the entrance,

The Oni man stopped levitating or more accurately the man fell at a speed that made it look as if he teleported to the naked eye and appeared right at the railing of the bridge he used his force from the inertia to collapse the bridge splitting the bridge with a crack right in the center of the bridge towards the the other side .

Which in turn caused a giant slab of concrete to fall directly down towards where Rogan and Serena were running , both Rogan and Selena wanted to push each other out of the way but Rogan stumbled and tripped which made it easier for Selena to succeed in pushing Rogan out of danger .

" Why the fuck would do that. " Rogan screamed with tears welling up in his eyes.

It felt as if he was plagued by the harbinger of death since everybody around him or close to him was meant to die because of him ,

" Stop bitching , she'll have a better life in the nex.. "

Before the Oni Masked man could finish his sentence all he could hear was the rumble and crackle of lightning and static.

" Well I'll be damned , what are the odds you had an Orphan with you , either you're dead ass lucky or you attract those types to you .

I'll rather accept the former . " said the Oni .

The sound of sizzling and crackling seemed to eminate from under the gigantic slab of concrete.

Rogan tried to get and walk towards Serena and the concrete but before he could take a step the Oni Masked man instantly appeared behind him halfway into a roundhouse kick which connected to the back of Rogan's head which instantly gave him a severe concussion.

"Aaaah ,what the fu.. " Rogan tried to speak but due to his concussion his brain was overloading his senses and it cause him to suffer from a head splittng headache and also made his vision literally shake, making whatever was in his sight look as if it was oscillating .

Rogan couldn't withstand it and fell to his knees .

After making certain that his target was incapacitated he started to stroll towards where Serena was 'laying' and while walking there he started to mumble some incoherent words but the armor he was wearing started to liquefy and move towards his left hand and start fusing with the Kuriki and begin to enlarge it to size that could rival a bus before holding it up towards the sky in preparation to swing it ,

" To be honest , I could let you live but I don't feel like it .

So if you had to blame anyone for this it would have to be that worm laying behind me and your own limitations."

The Oni Masked man proceeded to have the metal oscillate along the bladed side of his giant Kuriki before uttering words that made it seem as if they were only sound present as everything became deathly silent except for the man's two words .

" Heavenly Division "
