*Clash!* *Stud!* *Swoosh!*
Take and gift attacks until evasion starts to take place. Each side started to apply every move they could think of. As a result, all the responses of the senses from both sides react continuously without stopping.
Adolph, Nagao, and Mr. Schmidt put all their skills into this fight. However, the enemy's attacks this time were different from before. Not only attacks, but enemy weapons have a hand in strengthening the resulting attacks.
"Damn it! What weapon was that?! A few of my punches were parried and blocked easily! However, this gave the adrenaline pump up!" Nagao commented happily.
Not only the reaction from Nagao, Adolph and Mr. Schmidt had an almost similar reaction...
"Tch!" while dodging enemy attacks. "What a troublesome weapon!" Upset Adolph.
"A sword that doubles as a whip? This is interesting!" Mr. said Schmidt while tightly gripping the hilt of the sword from his weapon.
From different sides, the enemy continued to launch attacks. The enemy attack didn't even give the three of them a chance to take a rest. As a result, the injuries that the three of them had continued to appear...
*Thud!* *Slash!* *Stab!* *Slash!*
Nagao received several punches and stabs in several parts of his body, especially his face and left shoulder. Adolph had several broken fingers and incision wounds on the upper left arm. For Mr. Schmidt, he received several slash wounds on his thighs, chest, and face.
On the other hand, the leader of the enemy who attacked Mr. Schmidt said in a firm tone,
"Don't let them live or make a distance for themselves. Understood?!"
"Okay, boss!!" Replied them.
Hearing the enemy's words just now, the three of them reacted in different ways...
"Prove it if you have managed to kill me!" Nagao challenged in a firm tone.
"You bunch of crazy shit!" Adolph reacted in an irritated tone while dodging the enemy's attack.
Mr. Schmidt only reacted with silence. His entire body's reactions showed a high focus on anticipating his enemy's attack.
It was at this stage, the three of them each lured the enemy to a different location. They also carried heavy duty. Duty to survive. Survive by "gambling" along with death.
***
Nagao faced two armed enemies. Although one of the enemies has a dagger, the other enemies have unique weapons. The weapon that overwhelmed him...
"Nice weapon. I'll have it after defeating you!" he said firmly while adjusting the stance of his body.
"Step over my corpse before taking my tonfa!" He said while attacking Nagao.
*Thud!* *Tang!* *Kick!* *Thud!* *Slash!* *Swoosh!*
Both Nagao and The owner of the tonfa started to continue fighting. Even though Nagao could attack him with a few punches, the enemy could always parry attacks with his tonfa. In fact, oftentimes, the enemy lands several tonfa swings until combination attacks with a mix of kicks and punches. The sharp end of his tonfa contributed to making several incisions on Nagao's body. Unfinished with one enemy, Nagao must face another enemy who has a dagger at the same time. The two of them were agile and unpredictable, causing Nagao to have a hard time parrying several attacks. As a result, Nagao's new wounds began to cover several parts of his body.
(Shit! At this rate, I'll be the first to die because of unnecessary movements! Calm down! Don't panic and adjust your whole body as usual. Observe your surroundings, Nagao!) He suggested while looking at the enemy.
Nagao began to adapt his movements according to his body's condition. Now, he was in a calm state while adjusting his battle stance. Realizing this, the dagger owner's enemy said,
"Looks like he's already resigned himself to being killed! Let me kill him!" While running toward Nagao.
"Wait! Don't be careless!" Shouted the enemy armed with tonfa.
However, his warning was ignored and the dagger-wielding enemy still ran at Nagao from behind. With the position of his hand ready to stab with the dagger vertically, the enemy said in his mind...
(Die you, you wicked bastard!) He thought happily.
Weapons began to be stabbed and aimed at Nagao's head. However, Nagao made a change of maneuver in his step and body. At that moment, he hit the dagger blade with his right fist...
*Tang!*
"?!" The reaction of both enemies were shocked due to see Nagao's action.
The dagger was thrown from the enemy's hand. Immediately, Nagao grabbed the enemy's hood and hit the enemy's neck several times hard...
*Thud!* *Thud!* *Thwack!*
The enemy's throat began to crumble. Blood came out from his mouth. The owner of the dagger died instantly at Nagao's hand. Aware of his comrade was died, The tonfa owner's enemy asked,
"How... how did you guess the direction of that attack?!" he said in a shocked tone.
"Between both of you, only that person was the one with the easiest attack pattern to guess!" Nagao replied while remembering their previous attack. "A typical cowardly assassin!"
Hearing Nagao's words, The tonfa owner's enemy immediately ran toward Nagao while saying angrily,
"Bastard!"
Nagao, who was still holding the previous enemy's body, began to treat the corpse like a protective shield. As a result, The tonfa owner's enemy has difficulty attacking Nagao. In fact, some of his attacks could only hit the body corpse of his comrade...
*Thud!* *Tang!* *Kick!* *Thud!*
"You cunning person! Be a man and don't hide behind someone's corpse, you bastard!" he was angered.
"It isn't cunning, it's clever!" Nagao replied while kicking the body corpse toward the enemy.
The corpse was pushed forward and bumped into the enemy. Unprepared for that surprise attack, the enemy's concentration became unfocused. Realizing an opportunity, Nagao began to launch attacks. The attack is in the form of a hard kick aimed at the side of the enemy's knee...
*Kick!* *Crack!*
"ARGGH! You—!!" Before the enemy had finished speaking, Nagao had hit the enemy's solar plexus several times in succession and ended by hitting the enemy's neck with his knee. The enemy's neck was instantly broken...
*Thud!* *Swoosh!* *Crack!*
The last enemy Nagao faced was dead. While panting, he began to bandage some of the wounds with the enemy's robe. Not only that, he looted another robe, money, until tonfa weapon while saying,
"Good game!" He said in a happy tone.
When all was done, Nagao muttered inwardly,
(Let us start!) He thought while smiling faintly.
***
On a different side, Adolph was panting while holding her right upper arm. She received a blue bruise. As a result, she had a little difficulty moving her right hand.
One of the enemies that Adolph was fighting said,
"Let us just finish the game of chase!" while turning his weapon. "With this kusarigama, sooner or later, you'll die!"
"Ha ha!" said one of his comrades with a dry laugh. "Even though it's only a loan weapon, you're so proud as if it's yours!"
"You're noisy!" while turning his weapon. "Even though it's a borrowed weapon, HE still entrusted this weapon to me instead of you. So, should be proud indeed!"
"Your words piss me off, dammit!" He replied in an annoyed tone.
"Whose HE are you referring to, you bastards?!" asked Adolph in an irritated tone.
"A lowlife like you doesn't need to know who HE is!" rebuked The kusarigama owner's enemy. "People like you should die like a sewer rat!" he continued with a laugh.
"That's right! HE is the significant person!" said The sword owner's enemy. "Even more important than this kingdom. Therefore, I'll tear your mouth for tarnishing the great name of HIM!" While running toward Adolph.
The multiple slashes of the sword aimed at Adolph. Even though she managed to avoid those sword attacks, Adolph was hit by a kusarigama attack in the thigh and chest...
*Slash!* *Srrt!*
The resulting effect makes Adolph's movement slow. Realizing that, The kusarigama owner's enemy started throwing chains from his kusarigama. The chain sped up fast...
*Swoosh!* *Tap!* *Krrt!*
Adolph's left leg was caught. Realizing that she has been caught by his chains, the enemy said,
"Catch and get your ass back here, you sewer rat!" While pulling the chain of kusarigama.
With the strength he had, Adolph's leg was pulled toward him. At the same time, The sword owner's enemy started targeting Adolph's body by stabbing her. However, even in that state, Adolph could still parry the enemy's attacks with her dagger...
*Tang!* *Shrrt!* *Tang!*
In the end, Adolph was within range of The kusarigama owner's enemy. When the enemy was about to stab her stomach with his sickle, Adolph took advantage of the thrust from her left elbow to push her body sideways...
*Slash!*
Despite a slight slash in her waist, Adolph managed to avoid that fatal stab. Realizing that the enemy was within reach of her feet, Adolph immediately wrapped around the enemy's right arm with her prosthetic leg and smacked the enemy's lower jaw with the sole of her right foot...
*Thud!*
All of that happened so quickly and it made the enemy unable to react for a while. Immediately, Adolph pushed the enemy out of her sight...
*Bam!*
The kusarigama weapon was released from the enemy's grasp. Even so, the chain from his weapon hadn't slipped from her leg. On the other hand, The sword owner's enemy intended to do the same by targeting Adolph's chest. Adolph who was aware of the enemy's attack, moved her legs. Both of her legs spun like a windmill. The fast rotation of her legs caused the kusarigama weapon to pull and spun above Adolph. Because of that effect, the enemy who wanted to stab her, precisely has been stabbed by a sickle from the kusarigama in his waist...
*Shrrock!*
"Urghh!" He said while bleeding from his mouth.
The sickle stabbed deep into the enemy's waist. The enemy began to be unable to move. The momentum that had been created wasn't wasted by Adolph. Taking advantage of the available conditions, Adolph forcefully pulled the sickle out. As for that reactions, several of the enemy's internal organs spurt out simultaneously with thick blood...
*Spurt!*
"You... bastard...!" He said and he fell to the ground.
In the end, the sword owner's enemy has died. At the same time, the remaining enemies came to his senses. Realizing that his comrade died, the enemy who owns the kusarigama intended to run away. Adolph who was holding his weapon, began to spin the chain like what she had saw before. Adolph started predicting the attack she wanted to make with said,
"Distance the enemy less than three meters. The length of the chain is very long. If it meets the target... it can!" She said in a low tone but with complete conviction.
With the strength she forced, Adolph threw the chain toward the enemy. Dashed swiftly, the chain wrapped around the neck of her enemy...
*Swoosh!* *Krrt!*
"Come and get your ass here, you damn bastard!" While pulling the chain from the kusarigama.
The enemy was immediately pulled towards Adolph. The moment they were less than one meter away, Adolph immediately stabbed the enemy in one of his eyes with the sickle. Piercing until it touches the brain of her enemy...
*Shrrock!*
The enemy suddenly convulses until he finally died. Adolph immediately sat down on the ground. However, she heard footsteps from behind with applause...
*Plak!* *Plak!* *Plak!*
Adolph saw the figure of an enemy in a black robe. Aware of the enemy's presence, Adolph got back into a fighting stance even though her body was covered in wounds. However, The enemy began to say,
"I wanted to help before," while clapping his hands. "However, everything seemed to have settled down. Looks like, It made a waste of time to come here. Well, not a bad performance even though I watched it before!" he continued with a sigh.
Realized by that familiar voice, Adolph said,
"You such an asshole! I thought it was the enemy. Turns out, it's you... Nagao! Why didn't you help me in the first place, bastard?!!" she annoyed with a sigh.
Nagao immediately threw a black hood robe at Adolph and said,
"Step aside the debate first. We still have enemies left!" He said in assertive ways.
Just like Nagao, after bandaging the wounds until looting the enemy's weapons, Adolph immediately left along with Nagao while wearing a black robe. While walking, Adolph said,
"You've got a wild idea in your head, isn't it?"
Hearing Adolph's words, Nagao only reacted,
"Ha ha ha!" Nagao laughed with a grin. "Yes, It is. But I needed your help with this!"
"Hoh~, tell me about that idea of yours!"
