Kazikishi Gakure made an expressionless face as he sees the griffin die in the most embarrassing way possible. He lay down on the grass as he was now at peace.
Gurushina Nirikure the other fox swordsmen stands up and begins to walk to his right. He reaches a giant tree as he heavily breathes and thinks nothing about quiet and calm. He sat down and leaned on a tree as Kazikishi Gakure lay down on the grass.
He looked up and sees Zukori Gakure making his way down. He was jumping on the giant leaves and giant branch as Gurushina Nirikure sees that he slowly pulled back his sword and sees him heavily breathing.
"So, what now?" Kazikishi Gakure asked as he closes his eyes. Gurushina Nirikure also closes his eyes as they both were exhausted and draining them because of the fatigue and fierce fight. It was full of destruction and was a savage fight between the three, fighting giant monsters and the king of ground and sky.
"Rest, take a break and just feel the peace, for now, we will resume after thirty minutes or at least an hour," Gurushina Nirikure said as he faces his palm and remove the blood on the wound on his left cheek.
"Fighting those monsters could equal death," Kazikishi Gakure said as he spread out his arms and slowly opened his eyes and stare at the giant leaves.
"Yeah!" Gurushina Nirikure said as Zukori Gakure reaches the ground in the distance and approaches them as he lowered his head down. They were exhausted and the fatigue in their feet was killing them.
"This fatigue in our feet from running all the way here and jumping were killing me, the good thing was trained or else we could've been food to those creatures," Kazikishi Gakure said. After a couple of minutes Zukori Gakure reaches them both and slowly he falls lies down and slammed his face into the grass.
"Ahhh! What the hell! I'm never going back here ever again in the great of my life when I know that there's still a monster like that here," Zukori Gakure said in an abrupt voice as his face was still on the grass and he getting suffocated and trying to breathe.
"At least where at current peace, Hey! Zukori! Lay down to the side! You'll die if you stuck your face in that grass, ugh!" Gurushina Nirikure said as he hears Kazikishi Gakure snoring.
Zukori rolled to the side near Kazikishi Gakure and opened his eyes as and sees the bright sun. He sees giant leaves and giant tree branches above. He was staring at it as he sees and feels peace.
"Peace is suddenly everywhere, is this monster really the king of this land. Huh! They're such joke," Zukori Gakure said in big confidence as Kazikishi Gakure suddenly woke up and didn't flinch as Gurushina Nirikure looked at him and made an expressionless face and stared at him.
"What?! What's wrong Guru? You thought I was joking? Huh! I could beat them both with just my finger! Haha!" Zukori Gakure said as he chuckles and ask Gurushina while he facepalm.
"Kazikishi, he's losing his mind, would you mind being my new partner?" Gurushina Nirikure asks as Zukori Gakure looked at him in made an angry face.
"Hey! I was kidding!" Zukori said in an angry voice.
"I don't mind," Kazikishi answered as Zukori suddenly looked at him with a killer intent presence.
Gurushina Nirikure stands as he smells blood, different than the monsters. He turns around and sees someone in the far distance running. He sees a woman running in the far distance heading somewhere.
"What's wrong?" Zukori Gakure asks as he sat and turn around and sees someone running. Kazikishi goes back to sleeping as he suddenly sensed someone coming. The three of them hear footsteps heading where they were and it suddenly stops and there was a sudden quiet.
"I see a woman running in the distance heading somewhere, I'll take a look, you both mark this place and remember it while we go home, Zukori once you're done sitting try finding Densetsu and Taiyo, I smell unknown blood in the air getting blown," Gurushina Nirikure answer as he began to run where he sees the woman.
"Kazikishi what do you want to do?" Zukori Gakure asks as he hears Kazikishi snoring again which made him impatient and stands. He looked to his right and heard sounds, prickly.
"Well, I don't know but we should get out of here before something mystery might happen and we didn't know that these monsters were somehow revived," Kazikishi answers as he stood up and looked around and suddenly he feels the strange air blowing.
"The air, got blown, where it is coming from?" Kazikishi Gakure asks he kneels and put on his mask. Zukori Gakure has his mask hanging on his shoulder. He also did the same and they both crouch as they feel the air.
"I'll try to look for Densetsu and Taiyo the two that, are supposed to guard the Kartirya, I'll find them, try to don't die for now Kazikishi," he said, and sees Kazikishi nodded as they both suddenly vanished.
Near the broken-down shelter in the middle of the forest near the mountains. Taiyo was carrying Densetsu that is heavily wounded. They're trying to go to a safer place as Taiyo senses that the rumbles and trembles in the lands in the far distance suddenly go quiet.
"I heard a large sound in that part of the Kartirya to my life, where the Fox swordsmans are... I hope they're safe," she thought as she worries as she continues to run and sees the flat land in the far distance and the mountain.
"A mountain? Yes! Where near," she said as she starts speeding up and speeding up as she remembers something important. She suddenly stops as she looked at Densetsu on her left top shoulder that she is carrying.
"I... I forget his sword, no!!!" she said furiously to herself as she remember that Densetsu's sword fell off the Branch that reason she forget it. She suddenly kneels and punches the grass with her right hand as she sees that Densetsu is slowly gaining consciousness.
She looked to her left and stood. She walked toward the giant tree, she didn't blink as she hears Densetsu whispering. She reach the giant tree and put down Densetsu and leaned him on the tree.
Densetsu gains consciousness and gradually opened his eyes. He feels exhausted and in pain all around his body. He has a broken rib but still manages to endure the pain while fighting the supposed immortal unknown
He opened his eyes and sees Taiyo in front of him crying. His eyes widen as Taiyo hugs him tightly. Densetsu smiles as he raised both of his arms and slowly hugs her too. He closes his eyes as he feels that he can't move his left-hand fingers.
He opened his eyes again and raise his left arm behind her as he sees that his left hand was gone and don't remember anything that been happened. His forehead was bleeding as Taiyo was still crying over his shoulders while hugging.
"Stop... It's okay now I'm alive," Densetsu said in a calm voice as Taiyo slowly stops hugging him and kneel in front of him as he sees her eyes crying. She was heartbroken when she sees him in bad condition and heavily wounded.
"I thought you were a goner!" she said furiously as she wipe her tears using her left hand while Densetsu looked down and put both of his hands on his sides while he goes back leaning.
"What do you mean, dying isn't an option since I have you," he said while he smiles as he sees his eyes off Taiyo. He feels suddenly dizzy.
"Are you good?" Taiyo asks him as she reaches both of her hands towards him while his right-hand reaches for his head. He closes his eyes again and raised his head as he feels suddenly dizzy.
"I'm good, I'm just lucky to be alive and someone like you, most people don't have a girl that will love you, I'm happy to be on your side," he said and smiled as he looked at her and slowly lowered his head while they smile at each other while lowering both of their hand down.
Gurushina Nirikure is watching on top of the tree. He is looking all the way down towards them both. He sees Taiyo treating Densetsu while he's leaning on the giant tree.
"He's heavily wounded, if Taiyo was not with him, he would've been dead, or else, a random animal would've been eating him alive, but who did he fight?" Gurushina Nirikure said as he crouched and looked down for more than a thousand feet away.
"I fought an immortal and lucky to be still alive, I killed that unknown like thirty times and still alive, the secret in his immortality is his heart, I was lucky to find his weakness, if I didn't find it, I'm not on your side and I'm sorry I made you worry, don't worry when we got back to the village I will make you feel better!" he said in a happy voice as Taiyo made an expressionless face as she stands. In just one glance she sees Gurushina watching them.
"What?! Has she already seen me? I guess it's time, ugh! Boring! I was expecting them both to kiss but I guess not," Gurushina Nirikure thought as he jumped out of the three hundred feet tall tree. He is falling and landed on a tree branch and make his way down.
Taiyo helps Densetsu stands as she keeps staring at his lips. He stares into her eyes. They both stare at each other as suddenly Taiyo kissed him on the lips.
Gurushina Nirikure was on his way as he looked to his right where Taiyo come from sees blood splattered. He also sees a lot of dead bodies in the distance which made him stop.
"Hmm...? I didn't expect this, so something tragic happened, I wasn't sure what it is but I don't expect another one of those but those bodies needed to recover quickly or else it would be a dead land and nobody wants that," Gurushina Nirikure thought as he sensed someone trailing him. He started to speed up and speed up as he turns around and sees Kazikishi.
He stops as Kazikishi reaches behind. He turn around and looked at him as he suddenly sees his eyes were serious and furious.
"I've come here to check you, I thought something bad happened since I smell sudden blood, I'll check that area while you talk to Taiyo and Densetsu," Kazikishi said as Gurushina nodded and suddenly Kazikishi vanished.
Gurushina Nirikure turns around and began to run and sees Taiyo and Densetsu approaching him. They were both walking when he sees Taiyo blushing and Densetsu looking down. Gurushina's eyes widen as he sees Densetsu doesn't have his left hand.
"Hmm? So, there's something that happened! I can't believe this, a whole clash must've happened and I just sit down-" Gurushina said as he suddenly got interrupted and feels his right leg hurting.
"It's a sudden fatigue?" he thought as he kneels his left knee but straightened his right leg while holding it with both of his hands while he endures the pain.
Densetsu and Taiyo see him kneel. They both quickly run towards him. Taiyo was faster than him so she quickly flew toward him while Densetsu is holding his left arm while he runs.
Taiyo reaches him as she sees his right leg has gone numb because of the fatigue. She sees that he's feeling so much pain because of the fatigue. Gurushina has surpassed his limit.
"I'm fine! Just don't mind me!" Gurushina Nirikure said as the pain in his right leg stopped, he sat down on the grass and looked at Taiyo, and made an expressionless face as Densetsu reaches them both.
"Hey! You got beat up don't yah?" Densetsu asks as he sat down, also in front of him as Taiyo stands and leaned on a tree while they're both talking. She remained silent as both of the men in front of her were pretty beat up and Densetsu is heavily wounded.
"Yeah, we fought creatures beyond our comprehension and were lucky to survive, we fought the king of the ground and the king of the sky, they were both far, we are out of the league, good thing they fought each other and got in the way, they both dies horribly and obviously in an embarrassing way," Gurushina Nirikure answers as he sees Taiyo and Densetsu eyes widened.
"You fight those monsters and I fought an immortal?! What kind of reality is this?! Whoever you are I fought an immortal and am lucky to be alive and only lose a left hand!" Densetsu said furiously as he sees Gurushina standing and was suddenly in serious mode.
"I've got a question, Kazikishi Gakure was on his way where you both came from, what happened there was more than just a tragedy or even a massacre, they were men cold-bloodedly got killed, if you two are the ones who killed those men's you know that will both of you need to pay the price, I also don't believe in such word," Gurushina Nirikure said in a serious tone as Densetsu and Taiyo lowered their heads down.
Taiyo sat on the grass as she also leans on the tree wood behind her. Tears were coming out of her eyes as she looked down. Densetsu went silent as he slowly stands and face Gurushina Nirikure.
"They were our men and ready to pay the price, but I'll tell you that we value our men's lives more than ourselves, we found them there all dead and you know what did we both fight and see? We see our fallen men dead on the ground blood splattered all over the place! We were late, but when we approached the forest there we find the enemy ... The opponent that killed our men! Do you know what he is? He was an immortal! Immortal! With a freaking monster on his side! A lion that has three heads and got us both killed! I killed that unknown swordsman like thirty times! In just thirty minutes and still standing... He can regenerate faster, and the only way to kill that man was by stabbing its heart, I got lucky the reason why I'm still standing here!" Densetsu said furiously as he sat down again.
"If those were true... I'll be back here to see the lion that has three heads and hopefully see the walls of the Kartirya," Gurushina Nirikure said in a serious voice.
"The lion that has three heads is near the wall of the Kartirya but that part is much more dangerous than you thought, there were wolves there, and when I came near it I sensed creatures inside of it that I couldn't imagine, I heard trembles inside," she said as Gurushina Nirikure looked at him.
Kazikishi Gakure was hiding in the shadows on top of a tree branch while he looked down at the ground and sees people dead. There were swordsmans he sees blood splatted all over the ground and near giant trees and blades snap into two
He sees the monstrosity underneath him. He was four thousand feet away from the walls of the Kartirya. More than those feet, he looked down and sees a blade stab to the ground
"This... This land is dead land, that man Gurushina said, Densetsu come here and this happened? No! There's no way that a normal human could do this, I must report this to Gurushina, and later on, investigate even more and advance near the walls from the sky," he said as he turn around and jumped and he vanished insight.
"There I killed the lion that has three heads by going up in the walls, I stab my blade and when I reach the top where I got the opportunity to kill the lion I did it, I manage to stab the lion head but two remains when the middle head lion is killed they lion lost it's grip to the walls, it falls and dies," she said in a serious voice as she lowered her head down.
Kazikishi suddenly arrives and has his sword out in his right hand. He was sweating as he suddenly appeared on the right side of Gurushina Nirikure.
"If they both said to you that they didn't kill the men that were there, they might be saying the truth, seeing those swordsmens and swordswomen on the ground can't be done in a short time by a normal human, I didn't expect something like this in the first place, we must on guard. I saw those drops of blood were already dry, I suspect even greater than danger when I saw those," Kazikishi Gakure said in a serious tone.
"Then we both will go back to the village, Kazikishi stay here if you want, I believe when you don't come back for a week to your boss he might deploy powerful swordsmen which is a plan, stay in the shadows, if this two wants to go home they can, but we three here will guard, me, Kazikishi Gakure and my partner Zukori Gakure, also where is he?" Gurushina Nirikure said and ask as he looked at Kazikishi as he turn to his right.
"He said he will find Densetsu and Taiyo, I believe he is in the other part of this land in the shadows, but everything there should be fine," Kazikishi answered as he looked to his right and sees Taiyo quickly standing.
"No! It's not fine! There are still monsters beyond your comprehension in this place living alone and at peace! If he disturbs every single of them we might cant go back here! The Griffin and the giant long snake are the only monsters in this place! There's a cyclops! Those underestimate them also! They were big but they also uses a sword, I believe the sword they were holding it's an ancient sword and they were a hundred fifty tall, they were giants, I hope you're friend won't die as our men did," she said as she lowered her head down as Gurushina eyes and Kazikishi eyes were suddenly serious as they here the word cyclops existing in the land of Kartirya.
