Meanwhile at the top of the arena-
"Ouch. Ouch...that stings...wait ...wrap it slowly. Ahhhh... I'm going to die" Zyun screams as Abyss wraps his chest wound with a bandage while suffocating him.
"There we go. That should clear off the primary first aid, for next" Abyss bents himself towards Zyun and chants a spell "Abyssal Art, Unholy regeneration". The bleeding in Zyun stomach stop and the burnt in his hand slowly starts to heal back.
"Abyss, Gin is dead...he was killed by Mavis but...if you were there alongside him, he could have lived." Zyun muttered in a soft voice.
Abyss doesn't reply back and quietly focuses his spell.
"I... I could have saved him as well if didn't spend much time outside, but now because of me, the guild is gone. Garth, Liz... it is frustrating! I-"
"You talk a lot, here eat this" Abyss inserts a yellow ball forcefully inside Zyun's mouth.
" Gughh..what the heck..." Zyun coughs "wait, this is good, it is sweet and savory, the taste is so different, I have never tasted food like this before.
"Oh, you like it? Is called Ladoo, my caretaker makes it, it is supposed to make you stronger but-.
Abyss rolls his eyes and scans Zyun body "I don't see any changes here guess your body is too weak to show any effects" after saying that Abyss laughs out.
But thanks to the food Zyun starts to calm down slowly.
"This guy..." Zyun murmurs, then he turns his attention to the below where a fierce battle between an evil dragon and weirdly odd-looking samurai is taking place.
Benshimaru...why do I feel like I have heard of that somewhere- wait it can't be. Zyun lit up his eyes as he starts recalling.
That name on that tombstone wasn't it written as Benshimaru...please tell me I am wrong about this.
"He is Benshimaru, a very skilled swordsman from the feudal era," Abyss answered as if he understood what Zyun was thinking about.
"Feudal? Wait that is like 500 years ago. how is he still alive."
"He is dead, can't you sense- oh, you see I summoned him back from his grave thanks to our contract."
Zyun notices that the sigil in Abyss's shoulder is glowing which he relates to as being some kind of summoning sign.
" Contract? Abyss what are you even... Do u deal with dark arts because-"
"And that is a story for next time" Abyss quickly interrupts "but more importantly is he alive" Abyss points at the sleeping old man whose life has been saved by both of them.
"Eh. Did he fall back to sleep again??" Zyun gasped in shock.
"How fascinating, I really want to learn that kind of technique to sleep in the middle of a battle."
"Anyway, we have to drop him somewhere safe. Wait Abyss what are you doing!":
Abyss pulls the sleeping man towards him and starts to slap from left and right.
"Grandpa, grandpa, are you alive, grandpa, wake up".
"Abyss stop, what the heck are you doing" Zyun desperately tries to hold back Abyss from slapping the old man.
Slowly the old man opens his eyes with two cherry plum color cheeks "is my super ready" the old man whispers in a weak voice.
"I'm surprised that is the first thing that comes to your mind rather than reacting from all the slaps from earlier. Abyss we need to take him out somewhere first."
"Oh, you don't need to worry about that, look." Abyss points at the northern sky.
"Isn't that?"
From the dark clouds, a beast in the shape of a bird with long blue wings flies towards them.
"Blue!" Zyun rejoices as he sees his old pal soaring down towards him.
"You gave a name already to one of these wild dragon hawks? ahh certainly, this one stands out among all."
As blue lands in front of them, Zyun quickly rushes to slowly pat over his head.
"Did you find Fanny and ...did u happened to see Kuro on your way here?" Zyun asked Blue.
Blue looks at Zyun for a while and lets out a shriek.
"Oh, okay. I hope both of them are alright." Zyun respond
"I'm surprised you could understand that."
"So, what are we going to do now Abyss? I don't think Blue can carry 3 of us."
"Oh, don't worry," Abyss says, then he pulls a rope out of nowhere, he ties one end of the rope to Blue strong while tying the other end to the belly of the old man.
"Have you ever wished you could fly?" Abyss asked with a smile to the blind old man who has no clue whatsoever is happening right now.
"Eh. Fly?" the old responds in a murky voice as he still feels the haziness from the sudden wake of his nap.
"Abyss you can't possibly thinking of-"
Ignoring Zyun concerns from the back, Abyss approaches Blue and gives a gentle pat on his wing "Aye Blue, Take off".
Blue nods his pointy head and gently flaps his wings and ascends slowly in the air along with the old man.
"Abyss, what are you doing?? and when did u even get friendly with Blue" Zyun screams
As Blue slowly flew away dragging the poor old man under him by the rope, Abyss waves towards them "Das Vadaanya, fly high angel".
" Eh... What were you thinking? Does Blue even know where he is taking the old man too?" Zyun shows serious concern about this act.
" Welp let's hope." Abyss replied casually.
" Hope..."
Abyss quickly ignores Zyun mumbling and faces toward the arena.
" Anyway, since the hindrance is out of the way we can focus on the primary target."
"Yeah, I am almost done recovering my strength, let's go and join the battle-"
As Zyun prepares to jump down Abyss catches him by the collar and pulls him down.
" Calm your horses now, if we join in right now, we will be in just the way, let's wait for a bit."
"Hmm, alright then."
"Here eat this again and stay there like a good Boi" Abyss throws a Ladoo again inside Zyun's mouth.
Meanwhile, the battle between Benshimaru and Cynnedrin has reached a pinnacle.
Benshimaru runs across the arena and at some point, he jumps in and out of the field repeatedly to dodge Cynnedrin's powerful fire breath. As he continues running across the field to dodge it, he generates a water current under his metal feet accelerating his movement speed.
Cynnedrin lets out more and more explosive orbs from his wounds and directs them toward Benshimaru.
Benshimaru glides over the field with the help of a water current generating out from his feet and slowly turns his direction towards the dragon.
He dodges the incoming fire orbs skillfully with his new profound speed and as he approaches closer to the dragon, he bents his body near the ground and glides beneath the dragon's chest with his katana pointing upward and leaves a long trail of a wound on it.
As he comes out on the other side, he stops his movement for a second and performs an elegant back flip, and lands in the air with his katana keeping close to his face.
Suddenly he transforms into a stream of water current and lands on the back of the dragon with a splash and slowly spiraling the body of the dragon in an attempt to rid of the scales. But not even a single scale was taken out like last time.
Cynnedrin has focused magic to strengthen his scales so that they won't be easily rid of like last time. Seeing how his prior attack has proven ineffective, he slowly emerges out from the water current.
"Not only he has hardened the scales but he is also almost done healing the wound that I left earlier, what a terrifying creature a Ryu is?" Benshimaru said calmy.
Out of nowhere, a magic circle appears behind Benshimaru, sensing the danger he quickly turns around gripping his katana tightly meanwhile the magic circle activates and fires out a pointed projectile towards Benshimaru's head.
He quickly lifts his katana near to his mask and tries to slice off the incoming attack. Benshimaru succeeds in slicing off the ignited projectile made up of brimstone but the two splits of it manage to destroy the horn from each side of the helmet.
Another projectile launches from the side, Benshimaru bent his head in the mid-air to dodge it, and the ignited projectile runs across the face, reaping off a side of his mask.
Before letting the dragon assault, him further, Benshimaru quickly lands on Cynnedrin's back with his hand on the front then springs his body near the tail.
He quickly brings his body together and stands firmly on the rigid scales to maintain the balance.
"So, thou could use magic spells also as well Haha..the era of this time has certainly uplifted all the unprecedented things that were proven impossible in the past. Now it has become a reality while most of it has turned out to be worse than it appears" he takes on a stance pulling his katana near to the left side of his mask
"And thou prepare to use it at this very moment, your cunningness mockers the terrifying strength of yours." Benshimaru snide.
"How weird, even as a dead man, it strikes a thrill in my spirit. Very well, I Benshimaru should respond in full strength as well!"
