Chapter 66 - THE SAMURAI AND THE SHRINE MAIDEN PART 2 (A PEACEFUL MAN OF CHAOS)

As the figure comes down the stairway, Kiyoshi observes the person who attacked him previously with such a power attack. The figure turns out to be a beautiful woman in her early twenties of Asian descent. Her long blackish-purple hair was pulled into a ponytail with a white ribbon. Her skin was clean and flawless and the sunlight reflected perfectly off her skin. Her eyes were a sapphire blue that captivated the young samurai in their beauty, even if it was just for a moment. A cute round nose and a set of full lips that were covered in black lipstick complimented her beautiful eyes.

She wore a long white kimono with white socks and sandals. In her left hand was a spear with a wooden stick and a large triangle tip. At the button of the spear tip were five feathers tied with string, two black and three white, all with a small coconut-like fruit that shook as she came down the step.

As she came down the stairway, all the monks gathered themselves on opposite sides of the stairway and bowed as she passed them by. She soon stands next to the monk with the bow and arrow who quickly drops to his knee and bows at her feet.

"My lady, I am so sorry we disturb you. We sensed this intruder and went to intervene but he was too strong for us am sorry we failed." Remarked the monk in a pitiful tone of voice as he continued to bow his face to the ground.

The young woman looked down at the monk without saying a word and then fixed her gaze on Kiyoshi. As she stared at the intruder, whose body radiated with malicious Arua, she noticed something. On the left side of his body, she noticed his sword. But it was the handle of the sword that captivated her. She noticed weird red symbols on its handle, symbols she knew from somewhere.

Then it clicked to her as she shouted with rage the words you're the blood samurai to the disbelief of the surrounding monks, as she pointed her spear at Kiyoshi preparing to attack. Kiyoshi again tries to explain himself, but is shot with bolts of lightning coming from the woman's spear. He blocks with his sword causing the lightning to split into two alongside Kiyoshi and land in the lake behind him.

"Damn it gust of wind, lightning, Kiyo. Do you know who this woman is?" Lilly remarked within the sword in a worried tone voice.

"I could make a wild quest but do tell," replied Kiyoshi as he prepared for another attack.

"she must be the current shrine maiden. Be careful Kiyo, she has power over the elements, goddess-like light magic, and much more," Lilly shouted desperately to the annoyance of Kiyoshi, Tyrook, and Kivuli.

"You see, I fucking knew it. That bastard Sairon sends us to our deaths now we here fighting the shitting shrine maiden. Like dealing with the first one wasn't fucking now. Hundreds of years later, I have to deal with the next one." Shouted Tyrook angrily as he continued cursing Sairon's name.

But before Kiyoshi could answer him, he was met with a vast array of bullet-shaped fire bombs that exploded when they hit something—causing the samurai to jump and dart around as the shrine maiden continued releasing fire bombs from her spear. Realizing her long-range attacks aren't doing the job the shrine maiden quickly runs towards Kiyoshi, closing the gap between them in seconds thrusting her spears at him which he blocks with his sword.

She continues thrusting and swinging her spear at Kiyoshi, putting him on the defensive as all he can do is block her attacks, as he doesn't want to hurt her. He then kicks her to gain some distance, which she blocks but causes her to be pushed back a couple of feet.

She looks at her Kimono dirt with a footprint of the demon swordsman's foot and screams as such disrespect will not be tolerated and slams her spear into the ground, making a loud knocking sound. With that, lightning and wind burst from the ground towards Kiyoshi, pushing him back. 

The maiden wipes the dirt off her kimono and looks at Kiyoshi with violent intent. As the sky turns from a joyful blue to a malice black within seconds. Strong winds like hurricanes suddenly appear, blowing away nearby trees. Violent and loud bursts of thunder and lightning strikes soon follow.

"This is your end, demon." Command the maiden. "Die", she remarked as she raised her spear into the air to finish Kiyoshi off. As Kiyoshi prepares to defend himself, an old but commanding voice shouts," Enough Suki, put down the spear and end your attack!" Behind them, an old monk walks down the stairs.
