Once the man holding the spear notices Kenta was right behind him, he looked at the place where he had stabbed his spear moments ago.
The figure of Kenta could still be seen standing there, before becoming illusory and disappearing one beat later! Kenta had moved so fast that he had created an after image of himself. However, despite his shock the man maneuvered his spear skillfully as he stabbed behind him.
Seeing the tip of the spear being directed towards him, Kenta narrowed his eyes as he created a sword made completely from purple lightning.
'Hm? This boy is able to freely control lightning, and with such mastery. I also didn't hear any incantations. Can he use voiceless magic?' The woman wearing the cloak narrowed her eyes slightly. The more she observed the blonde-haired boy the more curious she became.
In just a split-second Kenta and the spear wielder had exchanged various attacks. During their exchanged of attacks Kenta had the upper hand, as his sword was more flexible and adoptable. Meanwhile, his opponent was a skilled spear user who took advantage of his spears longer reach as he attacked Kenta in his vital parts.
However, Kenta was able to use the speed boosted he had gained from his lightning as he fended off all his attacks with his sword.
BANG!
Once again, their weapons clash fiercely sending both of them stumbling backwards. Cold sweat slid down Kenta's face as he fixes his field of gravity. 'As expected of a guard of a young master, he's strong.' Kenta secretly praise the man before him. His opponent was truly experienced in combat, the only reason Kenta was still standing was because he had the advantage in speed.
Without that advantage Kenta wasn't confident enough to say he could win. "That boy's swordsmanship is not bad. The way he holds his swords needs some work but, it's obvious he has talent." The blonde-haired man said. The woman wearing a cloak didn't comment on that, she just watches the young boy's back closely as though she didn't want to miss anything.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing? Hurry up and break his legs already!" Tony yelled in frustration. His confident demeanor was nowhere to be seen as he watches the battle taking place before him. Hearing the orders of his master the man holding the spear instantly moved forward once again thrusting his spear!
However, Kenta skillfully parried all his attack with the side of his sword as he waited for an opening! The sound of clashing once again dominated the surroundings as both sword and spear clashed together!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The man holding the spear gave it everything he had but, none of his attack had manage to pierce Kenta's body! All his attacks were successfully guarded against. This fact only made him fumed in anger! He was a spearman who had been training for over thirty years was having trouble against a boy who wasn't even in his twenties.
"Tch, fire ball!" The man holding the spear suddenly held out his hand and chanted, a magic formation soon appeared before his palm as a ball of fire was suddenly released. "Tch." The sudden attack took Kenta by surprise as he was unprepared for the attack. 'Shit!' Kenta did a barrel roll to evade the attack but unfortunately, the flames spread covering the area.
'Hungry!' A childish voice echoed within Kenta's head as a multicolored flame appeared enclosing him inside a barrier. 'Thank you for the meal, master.' The voice said cheerfully. Kenta had a wry smile on his face when he heard that voice. 'Thank you for the help, Agni... I'll definitely repay you someday.' Kenta promises. However, he got no respond from Agni after that.
The man holding the spear held his weapon cautiously as he observed the multicolored flames. 'What kind of magic did he used?' He wondered to himself, that was the same question everyone watching had in their heads, it was only natural they had never heard of a barrier that creates multicolored flames before.
'This boy truly is interesting,' The woman wearing a cloak thought. She had never heard of someone freely manipulating purple lightning before, and now an unknown flame with multiple color it's impossible for her not to be curious. With a small sigh she muttered quietly. "Let's take him back along with us."
"Eh, are you sure? After watching him until now I can see he has good potential but, is he really worth bringing back?" The blonde-haired man questioned dubiously.
"Yes, I'm sure that man would be very interested in his abilities." She muttered confidently. Even though they had many children his age back training there she was one hundred percent sure that none of them could compare with this child's potential. 'If he survives this battle then maybe I should approach him.'
Soon the multicolored flame dispersed revealing the unharmed Kenta. "Bastard!" The man holding the spear said as he charged forward with his spear held tightly in his hand!
SWOOSH!
The air rumbled with a mighty thrust of his spear!
TINK!
But the blade of Kenta's sword easily blocks the spear of the wielder, "Enough messing around!" Kenta exclaimed. He exerts more physical strength from his sword as they locked weapons. "Tsk!" The man holding the spear gritted his teeth as he saw his spear being push back. "Stop trying to resist the inevitable! Even if you somehow manage to beat me here, you still have to deal with my friend over there." The man said, mockingly.
"Oh, in that case I guess I should end this quickly." Kenta responded calmly. Lightning crackled wildly around his hand as he thrust his hand forward. "?!" The man holding the spear tried dodging but unfortunately, his body reacted a bit too slow as Kenta's hand which was clad with purple lightning easily broke his armor and penetrated through his stomach.
"Guh!" The man's eyes widen as he felt the burning sensation of his stomach! "Cough," He coughed out a mouth full of blood as Kenta electrocuted him from the inside. Under the dumbfounded eyes of everyone watching the lifeless body of the spear wielder fell to the ground painting it red.
Kenta didn't even spare him a glance as though his dead body was worth less than trash. Kenta then raised his hand upwards as many swords made from lightning gathered there. Soon he slowly turned his head to look over his shoulder and his sky-blue eyes landed on the man holding a sword.
"Are you not going to attack?" Kenta questioned. The man snapped out of his daze as he felt the chilling gazed that suddenly locked onto him. His body shudder as he stared back into those blue colored eyes, which looks no less than that of a monster.
Suddenly, Kenta let go of the sword he held in his hand completely disarming himself. However, to everyone surprise his sword didn't fell to the ground like everyone expected instead it hovered in the air and ascended above Kenta's head. More than fifty purple swords hovered above his head as though defying gravity. Each sword had their trajectory pointed towards the man holding the sword!
..... Gulp!
The man swallowed his saliva as he felt death looming over his head 'Literally!' With the fall of his comrade, he had completely lost the will to fight. Slowly, he dropped his sword to the ground expressing that he no longer had any desire to continue fighting. It was obvious the boy before him was no ordinary boy. Unfortunately, the dangerous gleam in Kenta's eyes didn't waver even after his opponent had disarmed himself.
"I-I give up, it's obvious if I fought you now, I'd die... I don't see any reason to fight a losing battle." The man admitted honestly, swallowing his pride. However.
"Y-You! What the hell do you mean you give up? Are you forgetting how much my father is paying you!" Tony exclaimed, as he snaps out of his momentary dazed state.
"... What good is that money if I'm just going to die in the end? It's not like I can bring the money with me to the afterlife." The man said in a somber tone.
"I think you may have misunderstood something here." Kenta said his voice filled with derision. "What?" The man with the sword said as he gaze at Kenta.
"You came here to take my life, right?" Kenta asked, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Meanwhile, the man frowned as he had a bad feeling when seeing the smile on the young boy's face. "You people underestimate me too much, I don't consider myself a hero, nor am I a villain. I am a human, I pay everyone back in the same coin... those who shows me kindness, I have no trouble showing them kindness in return... however." Kenta stops his sentences there as he narrowed his eyes.
"For those who shows me animosity... I'll repay them back with animosity!" As soon as he said those words four of the purple swords shot outwards like a jet leaving behind streaks of purple lightning.
"Argh!" A loud cry resounded the store before silence once again dominated the store. The four swords penetrated his head, abdomen and legs respectively, as his body fell into a pool of blood. Many of the customer gasps and covered their eyes, while some fainted from both fear and shock. "Hm... not bad I'm starting to like this kid even more." The woman wearing the cloak said, a small grin peaked out from under her hood.
Meanwhile, Tony's face was as white as a sheet of paper as he fell to the ground in an unsightly manner. Kenta calmly closed the gap between them with an indifferent expression, even though he had just taken the life of two of his fellow humans his heart didn't feel anything at all! It was as if their life was lower than the ant, he stepped on, on a daily basis.
Kenta stop when he was at a distance of three feet, Tony fearfully raised his head to look up but, his heart clench when he saw the expression of Kenta before him.
His face was completely dark it was impossible to see any trace of expression on his face! All that was visible were his eyes which looked nothing like their usual color, they were blood red!
As though those eyes belonged to the god of death himself! "Wh-Who are you?" Tony asked, fearfully! Hearing his question, Kenta's smile was distorted to the point that it was terrifying to look at.
"Who am I, you asked?... I am death!" Was the last thing that Tony heard before the forty-six remaining swords hovering in the air penetrated his entire body!
