Ryuma then falls to one knee.
"Damn it. It was not enough and my mana is low," said Ryuma. Kurai gets up by floating.
"It was a great last-ditch effort boy," said Kurai. He then walks over as he gets close, he tries to finish Ryuma off with a strike with his left hand. Kurai then feels someone block his attack and looks and sees Oda in front of him.
"Oda," said Kurai.
"Ah Dark King, Kurai Aisu Kiba it feels like it has been ages since we last crossed paths," said Oda.
"Grand Master," said Ryuma.
"You did well Ryuma Tendo. but it seems you have made it to the end of your magic," said Oda. "so, I will tag in for you," Oda removes his jacket and his shirt revealing his upper body which was very muscular with scars all over.
"Wow for an old guy, he ripped," thinks Ryuma in shock.
"Now, Kenzo and Miss Tomoe get Ryuma out of here as I finish old business with my former friend," said Oda. Kenzo runs up and picks Ryuma up like a sack of potatoes and they leave the now-destroyed throne room.
"It must have been over a couple of centuries since we last fought each other," said Kurai.
"Yes, back then I was only a young lad who was too weak to rid of you but now I have trained so the next time we meet I can finally operate on you," said Oda who starts to build lighting around his body.
"Of course, but you were a different man back then Oda or should I call you by the name you had back then Musashi Miyamoto," said Kurai.
"Call me what you please, Kurai Aisu Kiba because it is the last name you speak before I strike you down," said Oda. Oda summons a katana with lighting coming out of the blade.
"How can I forget you my old rival, Thunder God, Oda Miyamoto," thinks Kurai.
Ryuma passed as soon as he left the room from fatigue from fighting Kurai. Kenzo was carrying him on his back.
"Man, The old man going full power back there by the feeling of it," said Kenzo.
"Could the Grand Master know we would encounter the Dark King?" questioned Yuna.
"Who knows we just got to get Ryuma out of here," said Kenzo. They see Lucas walking up with his clothes all torn and tattered.
"What happened?" questioned Lucas.
"Well, this whole thing was a trap planned by the Dark King to kill Ryuma but it seems Master saw it coming so we are retreating for now," said Kenzo.
"What about the Emperor?" questioned Lucas.
"Beats me kid he betrayed him by the looks of it as we watched him be eaten by slides," said Kenzo.
I see. Let us go then and bring Ryuma to safety," said Lucas.
"What happened to that man?" asked Yuna.
"When we heard that explosion he bailed out and said something about his king," said Lucas.
"I see," said Yuna. They head off to safety as the battle waged on.
