SUI: スイ (KOKUSHIBO)

血 合戦

The forest was deeply surrounded by dark shadows. The feeling of someone lurking in every corner, behind every tree. The air could grip lungs, and the smell of blood resonated through it.  Anyone would have fear walking through this forest.

However, not the creatures that stood in this forest. No, they were shaking with anticipation. They were shaking..to kill each other.

Clash!

A sword sounded throughout the area as fire and moon shapes brightened the darkness around them. Two strong fighters were clashing swords, aiming to kill. Two renounced Slayers, now demons— show their skill without mistake.

"Moon Breathing—Loathsome Moon, Chains!"

The female moves breathing in strongly, maneuvering around, and grips her sword tightly. She flies back and swings her sword upwards.

"Jigōku—Daikyōkan!"

A series of replicated fire blades surround her own deflecting the incoming attack from the male.

Kokushibo, Upper Moon One plants his feet on the ground readying another attack but stops once Rize, Majin One sends the defense into offense slashing them towards him. She slashes again sending more his way.

Easily breathing in once more, Kokushibo turns his body. "Moon Breathing—Pearl Flower Moongazing!" He too defends her attacks sending his own set of crescent attacks toward her.

Rize dodges and plants her sword into the ground, flipping away. Gripping her blade once more, she slashes from the ground up with incredible speed. "Sixth Form—Jōnetsu!"

Widening his eyes a little, Kokushibo jumps away at the intense two slashes coming his way. Just before he jumps, his leg was sliced off.

'Incredible..she managed to get me. It burns...I can't seem to heal properly..her breathing style. It's different. The flames that surround it burn terribly..it's flexibility, sharpness...yet gouging technique. I only wonder how it's cutting me..it's definitely ..no regular nichirin blade. Astounding.'
He stops and looks up seeing her throw the next slash at him aimed at his neck.

Sadly, she missed it. She watches as his leg grows back.

'Damn it! I didn't get to land the last attack.'
She hops back seeing him grip his sword.

However, only to see him not throw an attack. Instead, he looks at her, moving his sword downward.

"...How old are.. you?"

'...What kind of question is that during a fight?'

She looks at him unchanging her face and lowers her sword. "Sengoku Period."

He stood and raised his sword slightly. 'I can tell. She's experienced. Traditional...Not afraid to take a risks such as ..aiming so close to me. She knows I wouldn't be able to cut her that quickly...Not to mention, her physique for a woman..it's certainly has reached a peak.'

"You are from the Sengoku period as well, yes? "

He blinks his many eyes and narrows his eyes. "What..makes you say that..?"

"Well, I was informed to kill you previously. However not only that but your choice of clothing. It's old, and if it wasn't for your kimono, I would've called you boring."

He stares blankly at her stoic face and comedically sweats drops at the thought. She called him unfashionable. Not like he cared, but she was wearing new clothing unlike him, if there's anything that interests him now..is if she actually can increase her speed. "Moon Breathing...Dark Moon ..Evening Palace."
