Flat-Brim Samurai Chapter 46
Devan had just arrived at his room but upon entering he sensed 4 presences. ,"What're you doin in my room?" The men said nothing as they tried to subdue him, Devan dodged all of the attacks and then put them all unconscious before grabbing his boombox and promptly leaving. There were many people who came out of the shadows that quickly met his attacks face first, leaving them to take long naps. He saw Cias and ran up towards him ,"You dealing with these idiots too?" ,"Yup." They were confused and so they left into the city together, beating the people who had decided to attack them. Running around for about 15 mins, they found refuge from the chaos in a bar's bathroom…
Apollo woke up and got ready for his fights, he was energetic with excitement and twinge nervousness. He looked down at his hands, clenched then and smiled at having this wonderful chance to get stronger and see how strong he was. Arriving at the arena, he noticed Cias and Devan weren't there and he didn't sense their ki throughout the whole building. He thought it might've been for the advanced technology but he wasn't sure. But the fact remained, he couldn't think about it too much because of his next matches, so he warmed up and watched matches alone.
Apollo faced his next opponents with an iron will, his techniques mowed through his opponents at breakneck speeds. His increasing power and skill was getting overwhelming for even the advanced fighters in this tournament. It was a true testament to his training. His next opponent was about as strong as Abel in both physical power and ki reserves, maybe a little stronger. Apollo looked at his opponent, analyzing the movements that he could do and visualizing the distancing he had to be careful of.
,"3 2 1 BEGIN!!!" The man named Graum activated his ki almost immediately. He used Art: Reinforce and Art: Imbue with Art: Wind which made his attacks fast and sharp. He was fast but not nearly fast enough to catch Apollo. Apollo dodged the attacks with relative ease, as if his opponent was moving at half time speed. Apollo could sense that Graum could still do damage to him so he was still cautious. Graum noticed that none of his attacks were hitting so he decided to pull out one of his secret techniques Art: Wind Fist Kickback which worked by him striking at an opponent and a wind based attack on the other side of his opponent also forming.
In the middle of Apollo's dodging he sensed a change in the fight as the back of his body got pelted with blows BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM. His sensory abilities had to figure out how to deal with all of these attacks. But the more he fought the more damage he took. The power he fought against now didn't hit as hard as he thought it would. He then started to dodge the attacks coming from both sides, but they still came through BOOM BOOM. Inch by inch he was feeling out the energy and shifting his weight better each time. Graum was surprised at Apollo growth so he attempted to increase his output as high as possible.
Unfortunately for Graum, as he continued to increase his power output Apollo only continued to get better. After about 20 seconds Apollo was dodging these blows effortlessly with the occasional slip up. Apollo didn't want the match to end with him dodging every blow though, he wanted to see if he could take this man's full force head on. Apollo smiled as stopped dodging before he started to throw punches of his own. The damage he dealt was far beyond anything Graum could take and within 30 seconds Graum's shattered bones and broken body couldn't do anything more.
,"APOLLO MUSASHI IS THE WINNER!!!" The announcer said. Apollo looked as if he had taken minimal damage, his recovery abilities were far beyond the damage he took so he recovered almost immediately. With this, his strength and his ever growing power struck fear into his opponents except for one. Noah excitedly watched as Apollo fought his fight. Smiling happily, Noah was waiting patiently.
