Chereads / Destiny: Break The Shackles / Chapter 16 - Promotion (Part 5)

Chapter 16 - Promotion (Part 5)

The ground shook as the arm of what normal people would call a giant made impact with a shield cracking it. A sword soon after went in between the crack impaling Edward in the shoulder and increasing the size of the crack in the shield. Jin saw the opportunity to strike so he started punching him in the face with one right hook followed by a left , repeating for a good minute before Edward released a mana hand blocking his attacks. Jin backed away to make space between them and soon after a katana flew towards Jin like a lightning bolt. Jin quickly made a mana shield , not enough to block as it shattered in seconds but it slowed down landing right next to him. He threw his sword up in the air as it came back down , he kicked it with all of his weight into it and quickly ran alongside it. The sword was faster but as they were about to reach Ed he boosted his speed booming past the sword throwing a punch devastating the shield that Ed tried to put up to defend himself. Ed began to swing down his sword but Jin grabbed his katana using the momentum that it built up to parry him then punching him with extreme force cracking his armor.

Ed's mana began to form swords behind him as they rained down on Jin but he took a step back again gaining a massive distance for one step. Jin threw his sword once more but instead of running after it he jumped into a tree. Ed wanted to follow him but he noticed that Jin added mana swords into the real one and he couldn't block all of them and follow Jin so he decided to stand his ground making a big mana shield. The shield was holding up pretty good but the onslaught of blades soon damaged piled up and cracks appeared and by the time the real blade got there the shield was in a sorry state so it broke on impact. Ed turned around predicting Jin would try to sneak attack him and he was right. As he jumped out of a tree Ed got off a jab stab into Jin's shoulder but he smiled as he turned breaking off the blade. He knew Ed was not gonna be easy to beat with a blade so he wanted to disarm him first. He quickly got in punching him shattering his armor to pieces then grabbing Ed's sword shattering it. This time instead of Jin backing up it was Ed getting the distance between the two. 

Jin grabbed his sword and pulled out his kusarigama smiling and Ed sprouted 6 mana arms out his back smirking knowing that the last stretch of the battle was about to begin. Jin wrapped the chain around his arm, having the sickle part sticking into his back and him holding the ball. He rushed at Ed, slashing at him but blocking all of them. Ed caught the blade with two of his mana arms but he didn't back down throwing a kick only for him to catch it with another pair of mana arms but he continued throwing another kick from his other leg sadly being caught by another pair of mana arms. Jin soon smiled as he knew everything was going according to plan he threw a punch this time when he caught but he did it with his normal hands and he was surprised by the orb, but what surprised him even more was that Jin was smiling. Jin let his mana flow through the orb, shocking Ed and his mana arms disappeared for a second. Jin grabbed his sword and quickly slashing off his hand. Edward didn't want to die so easily so he activated his 6 mana hands again but a gut punch with a mana charged orb put these mana hands out as he slashed on the other hand. Ed fell to his knees but didn't stop as he got back up making a mana sword using his mouth to slash. Jin defended with his orb but Ed didn't hold back using all his mana with this slash breaking the orb into hundreds of pieces. He quickly kicked Ed to the ground and he quickly said, "Good fight but this is my win today." Blood sprained all around as his head detached his body.

Jin was about to shed a tear but a portal to hell began to open. Edward's body began to come back together. He was about to try and stop him from being pulled from hell but Edward yelled, "NO I REMEMBER WHAT YOU TOLD ME SO DON'T COME CLOSE I MUST ATONE FOR MY SINS." He stopped for a second and continued, "I thank you for all you did but this is where we must part ways, my knightley duty is over it's your turn now." He began to stand even though the chains began to pull his flesh off . He gestured for Jin to come close and kneel down. He pulled out his sword and put it on one of his shoulders then another saying, "I hear by knight you Jin Jiyu. Protect my honor please and take my sword." He placed his sword and he descended down the sword burst into flames for a second and after coming out the handle had nice phoenix like wings. Jin sat down, got his bag and started gathering pieces of his orb. After he got almost all of it he looked back for a second and then left.

Back at the watchers position

The people were shocked looking at Jin as they screamed in panic, "DID HE JUST INHERIT THE PHOENIX SWORD." Most of the audience was confused but the higher ups soon decided to explain, "For the people who don't understand the phoenix sword is a thing one can only get if they beat a knight spirit that once protected the phoenix prince, one of the most powerful Espers. The one who had this sword can command some fire and can consume fire to heal although since he is a low level these abilities must be very limited." The audience began to freak out too but the boss shouted, "SHUT UP YOU IDIOTS WE ARE CRIMINALS NOT SAVAGES." This made everyone shut up real quick and they just looked back at Jin on the big screen.

After the second test ended

Jin opened a big thick iron door laughing while looking at his system.
