Varia's Chained Cloud (Nanbaka x OC x KHR)

Breakout 24

At the same time, Liang and Akiri both attacked the male, Rokuriki jumped back to avoid the attacks.

"That charm is... an attack charm," Upa said and Akiri frowned. 'Just how many types of charms are there?' She honestly wanted to find out how to make these charms, they seemed very useful.

"An attack charm?" Uno questioned, looking at the younger boy.

"An attack charm, it's a forbidden charm that forcibly moves the opponent's body," Liang answered, frowning as sweat rolled down his face.

Upa continued the explanation. "It's a charm that used to be made for the sake of forced labor. It can continue to control the person until their body reaches its limit, regardless of their will. The attack charm forcibly moves the body just by using their fighting spirit... Unless the taoist gives them an order, they treat everything around them as an enemy to be eliminated. Only the toaist who's handling that paper can stop them... The handler must be him... It could only be Enki."

"To think he'd use the guards here..."

Akiri frowned. 'The Chinese Triads... They have been withholding these weapons and hiding them from the Italian mafia... To think I'd figure this information out in prison... This trip has been more useful than I thought.' "Hn. So all I have to do is beat him up, right?" she voiced out, spinning her staff in her hand.

At the same moment, Rokuriki dropped the box attached to his back, pulling out his weapons and charging forward in a quick, fluid movement. Liang doged the attack, clicking his tongue when he realized he was grazed, his side cut. Akiri blocked the second attack, glaring as she made eye contact with the hypnotized guard.

"Deer-hook swords..." Liang mumbled, pressing his hand against his bleeding cut.

Rokuriki continued his onslaught of attacks, Akiri calmly blocking each slash sent her way, only one or two nicking at her shoulder and side. "Hn. Not bad," she said, kicking him away and clicking a button, making her staff separate into two tonfas with spikes on them.

"What's with that weird looking weapon..." Uno blurted out, amazed at the fight going on. "It's keeping Hibari-chan on the defensive."

"It's certainly no normal blade, but there must be something to it," Trios replied just as Akiri and Rokuriki clashed again, the girl starting to go on the offensive, Liang backing her up with his punches and kicks.

"The sword is more of a hook than a blade... In other words, it's a weapon that can ensnare. Rather than stabbing or piercing it pulls and slices like a scythe. The deer-hook sword's shape is a little different from other hooks too, so it's a bit difficult to handle," Upa lectured and jumped into the air. "But... This kind of thing isn't scary at all once you get used to seeing it."

He kicked the guard's face, sending Rokuriki flying back into a wall. "Upa...!" Liang exclaimed in surprise.

"I can't stand to watch you two be so careless. Do you understand the situation you're in right now? There's nothing more pathetic than a martial artist who can't assess the situation. Even if the opponent is Rokuriki-san, he's just being manipulated right now. You don't really think you can accomplish anything with sympathy, do you? Please take this a little more seriously, the only reason you're not as injured right now is because Hibari-san has been helping you," Upa said, directing the conversation at Liang before he turned to Akiri.

"And you. It annoys me to no end to watch you fight despite being severely injured. Do you think that your body can keep up with your mind and movements? Your body will collapse before you know it. Do you think that you can win every battle just because of who you are? You always charge into fights without any concerns because you know that you'll win. Do you think you'll be able to beat Enki in your state right now? You need to rely on others more and not just see them as inconveniences standing in your way."
