Chereads / A Disciples Fate / Chapter 56 - Inferno x Ice

Chapter 56 - Inferno x Ice

Hasake and Kiyoshi run towards Ōyama together. Hasake vanishes.

Kiyoshi and Ōyama engage in hand-to-hand combat. They each use a variety of punches and kicks. It's clear that Kiyoshi has the upper hand.

Kiyoshi then disappears for a moment before reappearing and kicking Ōyama to the left. This causes Hasake to arrive and kick Ōyama into the air. Hasake then leaps to his feet and kicks him even higher. Hasake vanishes once more.

Ōyama controls himself as he goes up. He charges up aura in his right arm.

"Dark Devestation!"

A huge amount of dark aura shoots to the ground where Kiyoshi is. Kiyoshi raises his aura. Inferno flames appear, protecting him from the attack.

"Impressive Kizoku! Where's your friend huh?!"

"Right here!"

Hasake suddenly appears on top of him. Ōyama casts a quick glance behind him. Hasake activates his Ice Coating without giving him a chance to consider. He gives him a brain-bursting blow to the face as soon as it triggers.

The punch was powerful enough to pierce Ōyama's Coating away. When Ōyama is blown to the ground, the impact causes dust to spread across the entire country.

"Kiyoshi! Now!"

Kiyoshi charges up his aura. Inferno Flames take place for all of the dust.

Hasake goes opposite Kiyoshi. Ōyama is now in between them. He raises his aura. Ice starts to place for the dust too. The cold air covers their vicinity.

"Now Kiyoshi! Let's do the Inferno x Ice Technique you and Yuma made!"

Kiyoshi nods.

A human sized black ring appears on top of Ōyama. Hasake and Kiyoshi notice it.

"What the hell is that."

Ōyama smiles.

"Thank god. I never expected a Kizoku to be that strong. I don't know who the other one is but he seems to be even stronger."

The black ring turns into a portal. The portal leads to a different dimension.

"Here's where I leave. Don't die out there you two. I want to be the one that kills the both of you."

The portal sucks him in. It disappears.

Their aura turns back to normal. They both walk to where the portal was.

"So that was a portal? I didn't even know if that was possible."

Hasake crouches down.

"Did he create that portal?"

"Doubt it? Where does it even lead to?"

Hasake stands up.

"I'm not supposed to tell anyone this but Ryoma left me a secret file on Kanji, the leader of The Peace Hunters. I haven't read it yet. After this mission I might take a look."

Kiyoshi nods.

"So. When did you come?"

"A while ago. I was with Kuragami fighting Jericho. We need to go help him."

Kiyoshi nods. They both run to Jericho and Kuragami.

Jericho and Kuragami have been fighting for a while now. Kuragami looks more banged up than Jericho.

Kuragami's Coating wears off. He has scratches and bruises everywhere. He has blood all over his clothes. He pants for breath.

"How do I beat someone as fast as him?"

Kuragami thinks back to one attempt. Jericho dashes to him. Kuragami blocks it but as soon as he does, Jericho appears behind him and attacks.

"He's too fast. My All Sight barely keeps up. Every time I keep up with his movements, he just gets even faster and out speeds me even more. What do I do?"

Jericho looks at Kuragami.

"I'm suprised you've made it this long. But it ends now!"

Jericho dashes to Kuragami. He knees his stomach and punches him in the face.

At the moment, Kuragami is not fast enough to react to any of his attacks. As Jericho tries to do another attack, his body suddenly stops moving due to a shock in his body.

"No! Not now!"

Kuragami lays down confused. He stands up.

"Jericho? You good?"

The aura within Jericho suddenly begins to rise dramatically. Kuragami had never felt an aura this powerful in person. He is at a loss for what to do. Jericho is levitating and screaming in anguish as the aura charges up. His face and body are covered in veins.

"Jericho!"

Kuragami tries to get closer but the aura is pushing him back.

"I have to stop this!"

He raises his hand and raises his aura in it.

"Ice Bullet!"

A speedy ice beam releases from the palm of his hand. It gets completely nullified by the beasts aura.

"What the-"

Hasake and Kiyoshi have made it to them. They're both shocked.

"It's happening!"

"What's happening?"

"He's transforming. Into the monster inside him."

"Well is there any way to stop it?!"

"Sadly, no. Not that I know of."

His aura flashes the whole area. Everyone around becomes blinded for a few seconds.

Kuragami is starting to get his sight again. He rubs his eyes. His voice is trembling.

"What…is…that?!"

He looks up slowly. He slips and drops on his bum.

In front of him, a ferocious octopus surrounded by powerful Light Aura stands above.

He looks around. No one is next to him. He sees no one around him. It's just Kuragami vs The Beast.
