Chapter 8 - Protect at any cost

The next day there was a fierce struggle in every area. But what no one expected was that Ren Pa targets Mou Go directly, fueled by rage and revenge, but the same was true for the other big old man. Despite Mou Gou's objections, Rui remained close to him, the feeling that had permeated his whole being now intensified.

-Pops ... Please take care of yourself.- Mou Gou just smiled at her, but couldn't hide from her that he was extremely tense. He knew that after decades, Ren Paul would be reunited for the first time, and he would have to win.

- Rui-chan...

- Pops?

- Please - he pointed one of the horses. - Take some of my people and move to a safe distance. The fight will soon reach here. I wouldn't forgive myself for hurting you too.

- Don't even dream about it Gramps ...

- Rui! - The Great General cried, and she frowned. He'd never seen him so nervous. Please...

- Pops ...

- I don't want to lose you, like your grandfather ... or the rest of your family ... I don't want to relive it again. - Rui's eyes were in tears. Slowly, he finally walked toward one of the horses and four men followed him to Mou Gou.

- Protect her at any cost, soldiers!

- Yes! - They shouted in union.

Later

What the hell is going on? I hear the noise of the battle more and more!

- Rui-sama! Come back now!

- I can not! I can't stay here and wait for what happens! Ten! Pops! Kyou Kai! Shin! I don't want you to do it like my family!

When Rui stepped out of the trees, a scary picture appeared; Mou Gou was lying on the ground, seemingly bloody, not far from Ten, in a similar condition. Then something snapped at the young girl. The world around them disappeared. He saw only the giant man who had caused her loved ones suffering. She shook the chain and caught the Great General right hand. Suddenly everyone, even Ren Pa, stared at her. The two Mou men and Shin nearby looked at Rui with concern, but her anger was now stronger than her fear.

- Gun hoe-tze bee dio see!* - That's all Rui said, then she pulled the chain with sharp spikes that cut through Ren Pa's arm protector and stopped only by the bones. For a moment, Ren Pa was astonished and wondered how such a weak person could wound him.

- Nannan**, you shouldn't have do that! - H grabbed the chain with his bare hands (causing another heavy bleeding). Rui suddenly rose from the ground and almost flight with the chain straight to Ren Pa. Then when she got there, with his free hand, the old Great General gave her a huge punch. From here on, everything went completely dark for her. The blacksmith only heard Ten's voice as he called her name.

- ... Rui Rui Rui ... ...

- Hm?

- Wake up ... Rui ...

- Grandfather?

- Wake up...

- Wait! Grandfather! Please do not leave me again! ...

- Rui !!

- Rui-san, can you hear me?! Please, answer!

- Kyou...Kai? - She asked, still rather stunned, and hugged her with relief.

- Thank goodness you're alive.
