The Flaming Spirit

Chapter 32: The Hero

So I go out on a walk to clear my head and what do you know Layla appears out of nowhere with a large sword trying to kill me. "Not gonna happen" I say "whatever Y/N you will die by my blade Joyeuse" Layla says. "That's the legendary sword of Charlemagne only his ancestors can wield that blade" Zarathos warns me. When he said that I remembered what Layla use to brag about all the time. "I always thought you were full of crap saying you were related to Charlemagne" I said laughing. That angered Layla she started swinging her sword at me. "Do not dare insult my ancestor and I you will die" Layla said as she swung again. This time I grabbed her sword the power of her swing took my arm off. With my arm gone Layla took my other arm off "you will die" she said. I looked at where my arms should be "just a flesh wound" I said regenerating my arms.

I used my chain and wrapped it around Layla's ankles and began to swing her around. Finally I sent her in the air and slammed her down. I thought I had finished Layla I started walking away. Sadly Layla wasn't finished yet she quickly cut my head off then she kicked my body to the ground. "I know your not dead get up" Layla said kicking my body. I got up slowly as my skull regenerated before she could hit me with her sword I formed my shotgun and blasted her. I looked to see the damage I had done but her armor fixed itself and healed her burns. "That's not going to work against a hero" Layla said dusting herself off. I fired three more blasts at her but Layla cut them down with her sword.

I decided that the gun wasn't going to work so I formed the tomahawk Carter gave me. I ran at Layla ready to swing she stabbed her sword into the ground readying herself. I swung my tomahawk at her but there was a golden barrier protecting her from my attacks. With each swing the barrier began to weaken until I was finally ready to destroy it. Layla took the barrier down and clocked me in the face with her fist. I had no idea she was strong her punch sent me flying back. "Again Y/N Adachi you will hand over your three legendary weapons and die by my blade" Layla said. I got up from the destroyed sidewalk and fixed my jaw.

Layla actually wanted to kill me and I wasn't taking this seriously enough. She wanted me dead and wanted to take things from me. I had enough of this now I was angry. Layla and the hero clan were not going to kill me so easily. My flames started to change color as my anger grew. Instead of turning blue or black or even red and yellow the turned a ghostly grey color.
