Sacred Killers - Akuma no yoru

The Raid III: The destruction of Monkai

Hokuto vs. Muigetsu

Muigetsu was struggling against Hokuto, he was already getting fatigued and he hadn't made a scratch. He wasn't trying to go overboard with koseishi but he was using a lot with his attacks. His breathing was heavy and his movements started to slow.

[Hokuto] Had enough already?

[Muigetsu] *heavy breathing* I'm not done yet...

Muigetsu clenched onto his sword and charged forward.

[Hokuto] Eh?

Hokuto blocked Muigetsu's attack, he then cocked back his leg and attempted to kick Muigetsu but he ducked under it and sliced his knee, however, his muscles were hard like iron and he couldn't cut through them. Hokuto raised up his arm and slammed it onto Muigetsu's back. He crashed into the ground and nearly lost consciousness again.

[Hokuto] Your movements have slowed. This is getting boring. I have no intention of messing around with some weakling like you, I'll just finish you off here.

Hokuto raised up his leg and prepared to step on Muigetsu, however, just as he was about to slam his foot onto his head, Sasaki came running in front of him, holding out his hand to block the attack. They clashed and Sasaki easily blocked the attack.

[Hokuto] Oh? You're the boy from earlier.

[Sasaki] *serious* Muigetsu, can you stand?

Muigetsu struggled to get back to his feet, his head was throbbing and he could hardly move, but he managed to get back up.

[Muigetsu] *struggling* Y-Yeah

[Sasaki] Then go.

[Muigetsu] I'm not finished here.

[Sasaki] You're already in bad condition, just let me take him before you end up killing yourself here.

[Muigetsu] I'm fine, there's no need to step i-

[Sasaki] Just listen to what I say and go. This year's raid is different, we haven't experienced something like this in a while. I've only been here for three years and none of the people here were this strong, now something is different. I can sense that from the atmosphere, everyone here is strong. You don't understand what's going on right now, so just listen to me and go on. This guy is someone I can take down, you haven't even scratched him yet.

[Muigetsu] *irritated* Enough, I understand.

Muigetsu turned around and started walking away.

[Sasaki] Sorry you didn't get to finish your battle but this is more than you could handle. I can just look at you and I can see you're not ready to face someone this strong.

[Hokuto] *laughing* And you think you're strong enough to face off against me?

Sasaki looked over at Hokuto.

[Sasaki] What's your name, big guy?

[Hokuto] oh, so you want to know my name? You're the first one to ask.

[Sasaki] It wouldn't be good to kill you without getting your name first, but it seems like I won't be getting it.

Sasaki flashed on the side of Hokuto and stabbed his dagger into Hokuto's side. He Jumped up and kicked Hokuto on the side of his head which made him kneel on the ground.

[Hokuto] *shocked* W-what?!

Sasaki pulled the dagger out of his side and sent him gliding with a frontal kick that bent the air pressure around him. It caused his shirt to rip in places and he hit the wall and dropped.
