Throne & DxD Chapter 2.5 (Part 2)

Hey everyone, here is the next chapter. Comment on what you think of the story so far. I do not own any property in this crossover, except for my OC Kio

The orb loses its shine, the surrounding dimension returns back to its original state. "They have kept their word to this day and now their child takes on this responsibility without realizing it. His story is interesting, but how will his fate play out? Zelretch's words hung in the air, carrying the weight of the unknown and the promise of adventure that beckoned from the fringes of existence.

With a wry smile playing at the corners of his lips, he addressed the unseen audience with a whimsical flair. "Ah, but what is life without struggle? A mere existence devoid of purpose and passion. It is the trials we face and the obstacles we overcome that shape us into who we are."

As the echoes of his enigmatic musings reverberated through the cosmic chamber, Zelretch's gaze shifted, as if acknowledging an unspoken request for more. "Oh, you want to hear more, do you? Well then, perhaps there is yet another tale to be told, a chapter of Kio waiting to unfold in the records of time and space Let's peer into my pet project since it has been some time since I have looked at that kid. He reminds me of that Emiya kid Rin Tosaka brought around my counterparts, but younger." The book swiftly flips through its pages, the orb luminate brightly once again, the surrounding dimension transformed itself.

A new scene emerged, unveiling the breathtaking landscape of mist-covered peaks and verdant valleys. The tranquil beauty of the natural space enveloped the space, infusing the air with a sense of serenity and possibility.

In the heart of the tranquil mountain valley, Kio and Master Li Shuwen engaged in a rigorous sparring session, their movements a dynamic expression of the ancient art of Bajiquan. The valley, nestled between towering peaks, echoed with the rhythmic cadence of their strikes and the measured rhythm of their footwork.

Shuwen's seasoned expertise was evident as he seamlessly weaved intricate techniques and fluid transitions into his spar with Kio. With each move, he imparted the essence of his technique, guiding Kio to embody the art's raw power and precise control.

As they began their spar, the exchange was a flurry of motion, each strike and parry executed with precision and determination. Kio's movements were swift and agile, his strikes punctuated by controlled bursts of power, while Shuwen's responses were a seamless blend of grace and calculated force, his experience evident in every elegant movement. As this intense fight rages on in the vast valley of the Tianzi mountain.

As the battle raged on, sweat glistened on the boys' brows and the dirt beneath their feet bore the marks of their dynamic dance. The mountain valley itself seemed to respond to their exchange, with the vibrant colors of the surrounding flora providing a stark contrast to the intensity of their spar.

As their intense sparring session in the mountain valley reached its conclusion, it became apparent that Kio, despite his dedication and determination, was outmatched by Shuwen. In a final exchange of strikes, Kio found himself in a position of disadvantage, unable to evade a decisive blow from his master. "Bleed from all orifices! Suffer (read: Die) and be scattered! Wu Er Da (No Second Strike).

"Ah Cra-" Before the boy can finish his word, getting struck in his solar plexus by a palm strike. The force of the strike sent Kio sprawling backward, his body hitting the rocky wall with a crackling thud. Blood spews out of the boy's mouth and wounds. Dirt and dust were kicked up around him, marking the end of their intense spar.

While pain courses though-out his body, the boy pulling himself out the wall, knelling on the ground, sore all over. Kio, battered and bruised, knelt on the rocky terrain, feeling his muscles throbbing after the decisive strike from Master Li Shuwen. Blood stained his lips, and wounds marked the end of their intense spar.
