Chereads / The Immortal Akira / Chapter 74 - Kamui's arrival

Chapter 74 - Kamui's arrival

After the commanders' fight had finished with the Mikadzuki, Akira was exhausted. Akira had swung his scythe over and over until he was down. But, he sensed he was still conscious as his footsteps were heard slowly.

"Why you little!" Mikadzuki appeared with one arm severed from his right. He tried to use his strings, but Akira was very aggressively fast, and he couldn't take a second to attack. The Mikadzuki then used his strings to knit his arm back together. After he attached it, his arm began to tremble. He appeared to have taken a lot of damage because he had bruises just from Akira striking the ground with his hammer-shaped scythe.

Akira couldn't believe his eyes that he was still alive. After all, he had used his strength to defeat him. The Mikadzuki then used his strings to connect them to the ground. He lifted five giant boulders that were connected by his strings. He attacked Akira, and Akira sliced the boulders apart as he struck them down like a baseball. 

The Mikadzuki threw everything he had attached to with his strings at him to destroy him. This included giant boulders and trees. Akira moved forward and tried to hit a strike, but the Mikadzuki made a cocoon to protect himself. His cocoon then began to shape like a spike as Akira was closer to him. He avoided it and started backing away. Akira performed a giant blood slash, but the cocoon was hard as a wall and couldn't break down if he did so. However, even if he was in his cocoon, he still managed to control his strings from the outside. The strings were everywhere as Akira looked around him. Akira jumped, and the strings crushed the whole place.

Back to square one, Akira was cautious about using another giganta blood blade to save his mana. Even if Akira was immortal, he needed to buy Kamui some of his time to arrive.

Meanwhile, Kamui had already entered the woodland and carefully approached Yeru. Kamui then inquired about the whereabouts of the other warrior and requested that Yeru transport him. Yeru stated that the others were divided, leaving him alone. At the same time as Akira was fighting the Mikadzuki, Yeru had already defeated seven of them in a battle. After that, Yeru placed his hand on Kamui's shoulder and teleported him 250 meters each.

Akira wasn't fighting or even moving to attack. He held his scythe and did an evasive plan to buy some time. He stayed like this for about 2 minutes until Kamui arrived. Akira felt strange about how the Mikadzuki had any mana left from spamming his strings. Not long later, Kamui had arrived with the help of Yeru. Yeru was very exhausted as he had never traveled 3 miles by just teleporting with another person.

Kamui Hirohito had black long hair that was tied higher than his head at the back. Though he had a bun in his hairstyle, behind his head had long hair that wasn't tied. He wore very long sleeves of blue Kyoetsu that were different from other warriors back in the squad. He wore earrings  that somewhat symbolized his family name, Hirohito

As he reached the Mikadzuki, Kamui walked gently. Despite the Mikadzuki's cocoon of strings covering and protecting him, Kamui didn't hesitate to walk as he carefully unsheathed his blade. The strings he had unleashed came straight at him and were barely visible to the human eye, with only a glint of sunshine discernible.

Kamui was seen that he had done nothing at all, not even inches of his blade had been unsheathed. All of the strings were splendidly cut and none even hit him. Kamui launched himself and his speed was tremendously fast. With one jump he was already in front of the Mikadzuki's cocoon.

[GATSURYU-OUGI: SAGANAZUKI, KAMUI IAI]

 Not moving a blade, he went past him, and his cocoon broke down and his chest was slit. Kamui then stood there, watching from afar as he had sensed that the Mikadzuki had arrived at their destination.

The Mikadzuki he had seen was Esya'r, who was standing the same and watching the forest from afar. He sensed that all of his men were done for and he had already made it to the place. He ordered the last of his henchmen to seize the ring and that Esya'r would jump into the battle. Esya'r inhaled the air and his gaze became intense.

Suddenly, the entire island began to tremor. As the gusts grew stronger, the trees were pushed. The environment seemed to be moving, and Esya'r exuded a massive red aura. As they began to sweat, Akira and the others noticed the horrible roar coming from the Mikadzuki.

Kamui followed suit and closed his eyes.

[Sénkái: Presence Of God]

Red and blue clashed in their auras. The quake became more powerful as a result of the confrontation. The gusts increased stronger, and many trees were uprooted as a result of the strong winds. To keep themselves not to be blown over, Akira and Yeru stayed down and impaled their blades on the fractured ground. When their clashes were finally over, Esya'r was stunned into silence.

"What a fearsome power. A worthy opponent indeed. If you finished, let me handle him, and you get out of here as soon as you are done. You understand?"

"But the curse sir?"

"Don't be a weakling that I hate. Do you have any idea who're you talking to? If yes, do it yourself!"

"Yes, sir!"

Esya'r was ecstatic at the terrifying power that had recently collided with their aura. Kamui waited for him as he noticed his presence approaching. Esya'r had finally arrived in less than a minute.

With a smirk on his face, Esya'r confronted them.

Esya'r had pointed ears and long white hair. On his back were two twin blades. His outfit was similar to that of other Mikadzukis. His pupils were black and his irises were green. He was shown to be an elf.

"Pleasure to meet such a strong opponent. I am excited to see how long will you last!"

Kamui didn't say a word and dashed fast to slice him down. However, the Mikadzuki dodged his attack and kicked him in the face, which made him fly far. The Mikadzuki approached closer, ignoring Yeru and Akira, who tried to block his path. Esya'r commanded them with his presence and said "Move". Their bodies obeyed his command, which made Akira confused about why his body began moving without his consent. 

Esya'r removed the blades from his back and suddenly vanished as he dashed towards Kamui. After Kamui had looked down, he quickly reacted to his incoming attack as the blade had almost stabbed his eye. Kamui swiftly teleported himself from behind Esya'r, and Esya'r's attack destroyed the ground. He turned around slowly and Kamui stood there with blood on his face.

[GATSURYU-OUGI: RAIDEN SLASH]

His blade was too fast to be seen as there was no movement whatsoever in an attempt to remove his blade from his sheath. The slashes were all around Esya'r, and he easily blocked all of his slashes as he could see it all. Impressed, Kamui launched another strike, however, Esya'r stole his strike as his. Esya'r spun himself and created a whirlwind, creating massive destruction that was near within 200 meters. Kamui was caught by his attack and backed away quickly.

After Esya'r had finally stopped, he commented on Kamui.

"Your moves are nice, I bet you were pulling punches. Get it together! I'm your opponent, fight me seriously!"

Kamui with a straight face touched his face. A red liquid was dripping to the ground, which he noticed. He began to stare at the red liquid that had been on him throughout the battle as he caressed his face. He had never seen blood coming from him before.

Kamui grinned and tightened his fist. Esya'r sensed a terrifying power emanating from Kamui. Kamui's aura darkened, and debris began to float off the ground.

Meanwhile, Akira and Yeru were finally able to move. Both Akira and Yeru panted, after which their bodies froze after Esya'r commanded them to move. Akira could sense that Kamui was in trouble and asked Yeru to join him in aiding Kamui. Yeru asked him not to because, with his ability alone, he was confident he would be able to stop the Mikadzuki. Now it made Akira wonder what his main ability was.

Yeru said his main ability was only "Spatial Manipulation". He wasn't even using it. He was only using the Gatsuryu-ougi the whole time.

He could bend space, slice, manipulate, teleport, and even create a dimensional duplicate of himself and many more.

The only time he used it was when Makoto Shinui Hirohito died. He rarely used it until it was an urgent fight with that elf.

Esya'r was taken aback when Kamui stood up with a powerful aura. He spread his stance slightly and raised his blade. His darker aura was transferred onto his blade as he clenched the hold of his weapon.

"Gatsuryu-ougi: World Splitter!"

By striking his blade vertically down, he slashed his entire front. Near his attack, the islands, the water, the skies, and the mountains had been split apart. He fully erased the space between them. Within miles, the ocean was seen to be halved.

Esya'r was flabbergasted and his left arm was completely severed by his attack after he had luckily dodged the attack. He underestimated his power and saw the destruction he caused while slicing through space. All of them that were in front of Kamui were completely split apart, like slicing through butter.

This made Esya'r realize who he was fighting with.

The dimension splitter, Kamui Hirohito.
