Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Black Swordsman

"My master said I should always introduce myself before killing an enemy. So commander of Gladiators I am Kuro the Black Swordsman. I will be your killer." After saying that Kuro drew his sword and charged Kaen who threw a punch that Kuro easily dodged and countered with a slash to the chest. Kaen jumped back with a giant wound on his torso. Kuro attacked him forcing Kaen to be on the defensive. Kuro kept slashing relentlessly as Kaen barley dodged. Kaen saw an opening and threw a punch but Kuro dodged and delivered a kick to the chest wound. Kaen coughed put blood and jumped back. Kuro charged and started slashing at Kaen as the wounded commander just dodged and tried to move back. Kaen jumped back but just when he thought there was space between them Kuro easily covered it and delivered a cut to Kaen's left leg. Kaen screamed in pain and jumped back. Kaen started breathing heavily. "Is that all the commander of Gladiators can do?" Kaen kept quiet as his men started losing hope. Kaen started jogging towards Kuro who just watched. Kaen jumped turning to his wolf form and used wolf charge which suprised Kuro landing a clean hit to the abdominal area. Kuro coughed blood as Kaen turned to his human form and unleashed a barrage of punches to Kuro's torso. The punches came with the full power of Kaen. The soldiers watched as their faces lit up. Kaen threw the last punch which sent Kuro flying. Kaen took a boxing stance out of instinct. Kuro got up and coughed blood. "Damn your good commander. You broke two of my ribs. But I'm gonna go all out this time." Kaen kept quiet as he started jumping side to side. Kuro drew his sword and started spinning it as black magic oozed from. "Black hunt!" Kuro threw his sword at Kaen. Kaen waited and just before it hit his face he ducked. He got up and as he was about to attack he noticed the sword was coming back. He jumped dodging again. The sword came back again as Kaen decided to just grab it. He grabbed it as it cut his hand. He threw it back to Kuro who caught it. "Black Hunt is my special attack. It's effective isn't it." Kaen charged Kuro at high speed. Before Kuro could think Kaen had covered the distance between them. Kuro noticed the ominous red aura around Kaen who threw a powerful punch to Kuro's stomach. The punch sent Kuro flying. Kuro got up and Kaen wasn't far behind but he blocked Kaen's punch with the side of his sword this time. Kuro picked up his sword and used the opportunity to shove his sword into Kaen's shoulder. Kaen smiled. "I have your pesky sword now." He started punching Kuro relentlessly. Kuro saw and opening and used the skill super kick and he connected a kick to Kaen's chest sending him flying. Kaen got up and looked at Kuro. "That kick was something." "Hehe. Your punches are something as well." "Let's end this Swordsman." "I agree gladiator." Kaen pulled Kuro's sword and threw it to the side before charging. Kuro charged as well and two met at half way. Kaen threw a barrage of punches as Kuro threw a barrage of kicks. They both connected every hit. Kaen collapsed as he threw one last hit that dropped Kuro. The two started laughing. "Your something else commander." "Same to you. Bring me the teleporter!" A man came at Kaen's command but before he reached Kaen a mouth sprouted out of Kuro's stomach and he devoured the man. Kuro got up and smiled at Kaen before calling back his sword and teleporting away. "Damn that swordsman!"
