Chapter 39 - Mighty Guardians

They continue this until neither of them can get any hits on the other. David then pushes Luke off and grabs his spear before running towards Luke.

He charges forward, thrusting the spear to hit Luke once more. Luke catches it with one hand before letting go and throwing David off his spear.

As David was caught off guard, Luke jumped on him and kicked him to the sky.

David tries pushing himself off the ground as a reflex. He attempts to use his Kusarigama to protect himself and manages to block a few strikes from the spear. Luke then grabbed David's wrist and twisted it, forcing David to release the spear in his other hand. At the same time, he uses his foot to push David's knee to his groin. As soon as David felt a pain in his lower abdomen, he knew that Luke had broken something.

David was about to retaliate back, but Luke punched him in his stomach. David grunted painfully as Luke kept on punching him and suddenly retreated in the middle." You sure are strong, The last time I had fun was from my successor. Show me your strength, David!" Luke shouts.

After that punch, David began to regain his senses. When he was able to gather enough strength, he jumped at Luke and grabbed the hilt of his sword and slashed at him. He didn't expect his katana to actually cut through Luke's spear, making him stumble backwards slightly. Luke was about to counter, but was surprised to find that David's katana is still sharp.

"Hm Interesting! But I think I know how you're going to defeat me now!" Luke shouted before swinging the blade around trying to block it.

Both continued to fight for a while longer before one of them eventually managed to gain the upper hand. Luke tried stabbing to throw him around. Luke, however, rebuilds his spear in a matter of time and throws it heavy in the sky, making it disappear. He has the stance of fighting in bare hands." Honestly, I'm enjoying this!, I'm sure I'm at a loss if I don't have my armor." Luke says again while laughing. His face then began to look serious, "When will you use your water serpent?" Luke teases David.

"It won't matter, in your form right now it's impossible to beat you without me dying first." David explains.

"I never thought someone would say something like that. Well, I suppose I shouldn't judge others for something I did myself." Luke said while stepping closer to David and putting his hands on David's shoulders." Now, why don't we try this again?" Luke whispers after he appears behind. David quickly jumps away.

"He's much faster than before, I don't even know that his there already". David says to himself.

After he finished talking, he ran towards Luke who jumped in front of him. Before he can land another kick or swing of the hilt of his swords, his katana was thrown away. While Luke had his hands crossed on his back, he was ready for the next attack.

Suddenly, Luke raised both of his arms above his head, showing his body was completely healed. 'What the heck just happened?' David wondered. Just as he was about to start talking again, Luke's eyes began to glow red before he opened his mouth and spit out a stream of fire at David. David immediately jumped backwards.

"Didn't you remember that I was born in the Year of the Dragon and bestowed by the dragon?" Luke laughs at David.

"Kiddo, I invented the counterpart of your Mystic water serpent. Didn't you think my Shian is also a knucklehead?" Luke's further explanation.

"And besides, you were just a simple child. No doubt in my mind, you were incapable of using your powers like I was." After saying that, Luke disappeared from his spot and reappeared behind David, who was frozen with fear. "Now let us see just what you can do!"

As soon as Luke appeared behind David, he appeared behind him, causing him to jump back and fall down. He was about to get up when Luke landed right behind him and kicked him in the back of his legs. As David fell to the ground, he lost consciousness from the beating and fell unconscious.

"I am satisfied yet I'm disappointed. Seems I won, don't you think? It only means you will not be his Guardian anymore, don't you think?" Luke says as he walks away from David's body.

He felt the sudden heaviness of the surroundings, He left like his drowning yet his not on any water surface. Luke blinks and when he opens himself, he is underwater being chained from 4 directions. There were chains wrapped all over his limbs, so tightly he couldn't move. He struggled to get the chains off. But they refused to budge. He looks in front of him, but it doesn't matter because there was no way he could move.

"So… It seems you are awake now." Luke heard an amused voice.

A light is pulsing from the bottom of the water, It's glowing and glowing brighter than anything Luke had ever seen. It slowly begins to rise higher above him until it is standing on the top. Luke saw a human figure stand in between the light and him. A Serpent swims around him, he can't see it, but he can feel the small waves circling against him.

Water Serpent form – David appeared in the middle holding his katana made of water. He looked at Luke. The light that the Water Serpent created dimmed as he watched David. He sighed deeply. Luke noticed the Water Serpent form had a smile painted on its lips. David walked toward him. Luke moved his feet, but found that he couldn't.

"Arigato, OjiSan." David says as he guides the Water Serpent across Luke's Chained body and pass through Luke's body and Luke's body falls down under the deep water.

"Extraordinary watchman of the heat, I approach your energy and speed. Award me the ferocity of moving flares and the Streaming heart of liquid stone. Assist me with seeing profound into the secrets concealed in the Fire, and Glint splendidly on the fortune presented by this world.

Twist inside the produce of my heart until the opportunity arrives

to lift your head and breath Fire against the dimness." Luke enchants in his head.

David looks down as he felt a pressure, A dragon appeared underwater and fights his Water Serpent. The water began to boil as well, A burning Luke rise from the bottom and clap. All the water is evaporated alongside his armor and the water serpent and they both floating at highest point in the ground when David falls immediately but Luke saves him and land in the ground. He began to clap in David.

"You won, I guess you're his guardian. A worthy one". Luke hugs David after saying those words. "I'm proud of you, my Grandson."
