Chapter 50 - THE SAMURAI AND THE ASSASSIN MONK PART 1(THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER)

With his mission of helping the members of Anges Du Sol completed. Kiyoshi walked through the open savannah, traveling to his next mission. Kiyoshi wonders to himself why he is needed in the village of Dorf der Toten near no-man's-land. As he ponders this, Kiyoshi doesn't even notice the strange figure dressed in a black and white hooded cloak until Kivuli brings it to his attention. Kiyoshi turned to see the hooded figure facing his direction. With Kiyoshi closing the distance between himself and the mysterious stranger, he could feel unease as they draw closer to each other.

With Kiyoshi a couple of feet from the stranger, he pauses to assess the situation that might unfold. The two exchanged nothing but silent stares for a brief moment before the hooded stranger spoke.

"Are you the blood samurai?" Asked the hooded figure as they removed their hood revealing their face. The hood removed the face of a man in his mid-thirties and of Japanese descent. He bore a scar that ran down the right side of his face and was shaped almost like angel wings. His eyes were a mystic blue and his hair was blackish-purple in the style of a Mohawk.

Confused by the stranger's sudden question, Kiyoshi replied who's asking? To which the strange man remarked that it didn't matter who was asking because Kiyoshi would be dead before he could hear his name. And without a second thought, the unknown assailant charged toward Kiyoshi was break-neck speed giving Kiyoshi no time to draw his sword but only time to go on the defensive.

The mysterious man lunged a flurry of kicks and punches in rapid succession giving Kiyoshi little to no breathing room to counter. Kiyoshi feels like the weight of the man's blows slowing him down as he could feel himself being attacked by a bear or some other beast than a mere man. With thunderous rage and might, the mystery man launched a kick that grazed Kiyoshi's chin and stepped back to avoid it.

Within seconds Kiyoshi found himself on his hands and feet barely able to stay awake as he was losing consciousness. Kiyoshi thought it was impossible for just a graze to his chin to damage him so badly. But as he tried to bring himself back up on his feet all his body could do was shake as it was powerless to bring itself back up. The mysterious man walked slowly to Kiyoshi mumbling something to himself and he prepared to finish Kiyoshi off with a high axe kick.

As the kick comes down on Kiyoshi, Kivuli shouts for him to get up, motivating him to do so, as he avoids the destructive kick by rolling on the ground until he is stopped by a boulder. Kiyoshi arose from the ground, dusting himself off when he felt a sharp pain from the inside of his stomach. Looking down he saw the fist of the mysterious man forcing its way into his abdomen. Kiyoshi suddenly began coughing up blood as the man landed another punch on Kiyoshi causing him to lose consciousness as well as be tossed into the air.

Seconds later Kiyoshi awoke to find himself hundreds of feet in the air. Confused, he looks down to assess the situation unfolding. Down below Kiyoshi could see the unknown man looking up at him with a massive longsword about four and a half feet in length in his hands. As Kiyoshi continued falling from the sky the man was slowly changing his stance to that used in javelin or throwing spears. With his sword in front of him, Kiyoshi prepared himself as the man launched the sword into the air toward Kiyoshi.

As the slow approached him, Kiyoshi laughed, remarking that this was just like the last time as he prepared to deflect the sword. With a boom, the sword collided with Kiyoshi's, but unlike the time before, Kiyoshi could not deflect the sword as the force guiding it was too strong for Kiyoshi to overcome. With a blast, the sword pushed Kiyoshi through the air into the nearby forest. Bursting through the canopies of the trees, causing him to be stabbed and cut but the branches whilst his clothes get torn apart. The crunching and smashing sound intensified as Kiyoshi made his way through the forest like a rocket.

Finally, the sword began slowing down allowing Kiyoshi to deflect it whilst crashing into a tree and tumbling down until he smashed into the ground. The environment around Kiyoshi looked blurred through his eyes as he tried to regain his composer. The air in his lungs felt heavy as his lungs hurt from the crashing and battering from tree to tree.

His cloak was torn and disfigured, with his face having minor cuts and bruises. As he rose from the floor of the forest, he could hear the rustling of brushes and other plant life as if something massive were passing through them.

With a burst, the strange man charged Kiyoshi with a sword in hand. But this time Kiyoshi was confident that he could turn the tides of their battle since he was as skilled a swordsman as anyone else. But the man and his long sword quickly proved Kiyoshi wrong. As he quickly overpowered Kyoshi causing Kiyoshi to question his skills. Cuts and slashes covered Kiyoshi's body. But these cuts and slashes were different as they felt deeper, and heavier and took longer to heal.

Kiyoshi at this point was way over his head and couldn't even counterattack the mysterious man before becoming impaled by his sword in the chest. Before losing consciousness the last thing Kiyoshi could see was the man's long sword in his chest before everything faded to black.

The man who had accomplished his task breathed a heavy sigh of relief as she swung his sword on his shoulder with Kiyoshi's body still attached to it. Remarked that it was a lot easier than he thought taking out the blood samurai thanks to his secret technique. The man continued on his way through the forest with Kiyoshi still impaled by his sword until he reached a cliff. Below he saw a raging river with extremely strong currents. The man turned his head and looked at Kiyoshi's lifeless body before throwing Kiyoshi over the cliff and into the raging waters below. As Kiyoshi fell to the watery depths below the man smiled, remarking that he had done the will of god and that there was one less evil in the world. He stared at the water looking for any sign of life and when Kiyoshi failed to resurface the man left. As the man went on his way he laughed, remarking that something so simple was such a hard task for the peacemakers to accomplish with all their resources and manpower.

Meanwhile, at the end of the river Lilly pulls Kiyoshi's body out of the water and begins attending to his injuries but there's one problem, Kiyoshi's injuries burn Lilly's hands leaving her confused and worried. In her head, she concludes only one thing can cause this light magic.
