Chapter 3 - LUST OR LOVE?

"Listen little brother, when you will perfect 900 arts of defence, you will achieve a technique called Kai-Tai. It emerged from traditional Japanese style of fighting which means 'to dismantle' or 'To take down'. It uses your aura to unleash immense power to form a domain or a weapon or something else. You have to believe in yourself, believe in your arms, believe in your technique.", Zchec recalls Rit's words.

"Look at you, a frozen corpse unable to move a muscle. Who wouldn't be hopeless when they look straight to the eye of INEVITABLE FORCE OF NATURE.", Kazumi said.

Zchec tries to stand but his legs are denying to put effort. It seems like his muscles have abandoned him. His eyes, nose, ears even pores of skin are leaking blood. Kazumi dashed towards him putting more force to her attack by twirling in faster pace. Zchec could barely see her but was able to tackle the attack through jumping rightward. The impact of her attack left half of the cemetery blown away.

"I can't take it anymore. This is unbearable. Her speed is magnificent while my vision is getting blurry and my moves are slowing down. I have to use 889th art of defence. Maybe it will provide me relief."Zchec told himself.

"How long are you going to take in order to negate the effect of my 889TH ART OF OFFENCE, NIGHTMARES OF EPIALES? you aren't worth my time. Let me behead your Tribunal, perhaps that would require some effort.", Kazumi joyously said.

"That's great level of motivation and confidence to challenge the tribunal when you are in opposition's soil. Let me show who you are messing with. 889TH ART OF DEFENCE, IMMUNITY TO IMMORTALITY!", Zchec said.

In a blink of an eye, Zchec became immune to her magic, he stood up and held his sword tight. Kazumi's eyes glowed bloody red. The surrounding began to become more darker and more dusky. Zchec dashed towards kazumi, simultaneously, she dodged and launched an attack of her own with another disguised attack. Zchec moved back-and-forth to avoid her attacks. And concentrated his aura in katana of his to launch a fatal blow. But it got dodged as a piece of cake, Kazumi started hand-to-hand combat where continuous punches and kicks were landing on Zchec. She landed forceful kick to the knee that cracked his joints. As Zchec was falling, Kazumi grabbed him by his collarbone and launched a very powerful punch on the face. That blast created a crater in the area. That attack could have KILLED Zchec but he implied his own art to reduce the damage.

Zchec while trying to stand up figured out,"My hand-to-hand combat is not working against her. What should I do, What can I do, She will definitely take my head with her. Is it the reason why Rit ran away!" Kazumi with her killing-intend-move hasted behind Zchec, making it look like she instantly transported. Before she could chop off the head of Zchec, multiple hands grabbed Kazumi by her hands, wrist, thighs and neck. Two hands rose from the soil and supported the broken leg of his.

Zchec grabbed Kazumi by her collar and said," How about that lady? It wasn't a piece of cake after all"

Kazumi with seductive smile on her alluring face, whispered,"Eat it now, darling!"

A huge demonic tiger jumped on Zchec. That demonic tiger was able to chop off a chunk of meat from his Neck. Shadows started to consume the mystic creature even though Zchec was left with multiple scars on the face and some on his chest. He was rolling around in pain. Kazumi sat right next to the location where Zchec is laying down. She put his head on her lap and bend closer to his face and said," Shush! (By moisturising her lips) what are you seeing in me now? A frightening Devil or a sweet Angel?" She notices a bleeding scar on his lips resulted from tiger's attack. "Poor creature, let me fix that for you." she bended forward, as she was doing so.

Zchec unconsciously whispered," KAI----------------TAI! "

Hundreds of Banyan trees emerged out of nowhere. Every single ray of light is blocked by the thousands of branches and millions of leaves. Discrete sound of water drop falling from leaves into the swamp. The circular patterns are created due to impact of water drops. This momentary darkness with nimble movement of unseen sea creature and the hanging prop roots giving away a glimpse that bodies of many are strangled to death. The inky colours of surrounding is scary, it's the true horror. Rotten Mossy hands from the swamp grabbed Kazumi by her legs, hundreds of prop roots acting like a fingers of a titan strangled her, some covered her mouth and some tightened around her waist and breast.

Zchec appeared through the prop roots as a spirit passing through solid object and said in cold tone," Lady, your death is inevitable now. Let me tell you the name of the Striker who is going to slay you. I am the Großartig Primera, Zchec Keroes. (Name of Special move) The Life breathing silently, I see you. The Life watching us commit this sin, I ask for forgiveness. Hey, the one who have been living for centuries, open your eyes and see for yourself. And put end to the miserable life of this sinner."

The largest banyan tree behind Zhec opened its eyes. It possesses human facial symmetry. And the banyan tree spoke,"Rio, don't see any judgement on your side. No one is wholly guilty and no one is truly innocent. Death is too harsh where victim and culprit are unknown."

Zchec asked," why is it so, she tried to kill me and she infiltrated territory of Liri and and took hundreds of life. Doesn't that make her a culprit?"

"I didn't saw what she did there. I am not even aware of her trying to decapitate you. But, my judgement is based upon purity of heart and intentions leading to devotion only. Strangely, she has both more than you. If I need to give my verdict, then you will be the culprit here. Thus, I Rescinded my verdict." Rio replied.

Zchec surprisingly said," DAMN! (Realising something) Still I can capture her for interrogation. I just need to keep her unconscious until I reach the Lab of Prof. Kink."
