Chapter 23 Dangerous Encounter

General McAvin, Hikarin Gakure, and other swordsmen at his side, as well as the General's soldiers, stood menacingly. They appear helpless because they can do nothing except observe. General McAvin gave the order to the army behind him to form a defensive line and remain on guard. He stood tall, knowing that practically all of his troops were shaking in fear.
"You refused then, huh? You really want to see these kids die so badly? I just want the locations, the exact coordinates of these Darks Strongholds. We are in pursuit of someone even greater so even if you don't say it, we will won in numbers and this village will be doomed. In fact, others have already been doomed," the unknown dark said menacingly as he stroked his two weapons in his hands.
"You heard our words, now if you stand down, I won't have to annihilate your entire beings," she strode her sword menacingly. She stabbed it to the ground in front of her and takes a forceful stance. She clasped her hands together, and energy from her feet began to flow down to the ground.
The unknown dark sensed it, and what he saw widened his eyes. He notices violet energy traveling to the ground underneath her and realizes something is off with her. Her energy was rushing around inside her, and he could feel it.
An earthquake suddenly began to occur, and the unknown black eyes widened as he felt something rising from the underground. The ground beneath him crumbles, revealing a massive root of a massive tree. He was on the verge of falling and grasped his feet, but he quickly jumped and avoided the root.
He then made a three-sixty spin, widening his eyes even more as he saw the other darks caught by the gigantic roots. The gigantic roots slowed their movements as the unknown dark became aware of what was going on.
"My dark mobs... They've been caught... What the hell is this technique?" he thought frantically as he stomped his feet in the air and jumped even higher in the air. He bowed his head as he saw her staring at him from the middle of the air. As he heard a branch stretching, he lowered his head even more. He notices the big root following him into the air. It spread quickly, almost grabbing his left feet and leg. He avoided it by performing a backflip in the air and kicking the root. He falls as the huge roots rising from the undergrounds try to catch him.
He thought the woman on the ground was moving the gigantic vines in their own way. He dashes into the air, avoiding the massive roots to the left and right, till he touches down on the ground and promptly backs off. He moves away from the destroyed ground and the gigantic roots as he notices the hostages have been freed, and General McAvin's army rushes towards them to save the children.
The unfathomable darkness has engulfed a massive dark oak tree behind him. He stands, holding his two weapons, realizing he is the only one left. As he sees her approaching him with the others, he looks about for an escape route. General McAvin and Hikarin Gakure were approaching him menacingly, but the unknown woman was leading the way.
"I won't let you run anywhere. You filthy scum! You'll regret what you did!" She said furiously with her eyes widened in anger. She still has her hands compress to each other as she exhales. He stills sees energy flowing to the ground seeing that she's not a normal human. He stands on his ground as she stopped.
"Hey, hey, hey... You're a Shinobi? A user of ninjutsu, a ninja... First time seeing a Shinobi Swordswoman, it's an honor... I thought the shinobis were wiped out many years ago, but I guess not!" he exclaimed as he stared at her.
"Yeah? So what! My chakra is strong enough to take you all down!" she yelled passionately as she squeezed her hands even tighter. She sighs as she prepares the massive roots she's manipulating behind him. He sensed it and turned around to see huge roots pointing towards him. He can also feel it beneath him as the mysterious dark turns to face them.
"I just remembered... I forgot to tell you my name... I'm Harishima, the one who'll kill you all tonight! The four of you won't do anything good..." stated the unknown stranger. Suddenly, he exudes a powerful presence that causes the air around him to heat up.
They could see the air around him in the distance. It was as if he was surrounded by a wall, and the air was blowing intensely upward. The enormous roots suddenly restrained both of his feet as he threw his sickle at her.
Her eyes widened as she realized how fast it was. Hikarin Gakure dashes in front of her and swings his sword down as soon as he gets there. His sword's blade was about to collide with the sickle when the sickle abruptly altered direction in mid-air. It moved as if on its own and evaded his sword's blade.
His eyes widened as he pushed the handle of his sword up to the left side of his head, where the sickle had shifted direction. It spins in mid-air after the sickle collides with the handle of his sword and is deflected.
Harishima abruptly broke free from the roots that had entangled his feet. He flung his scythe, which had a black chain linked to the handle, at Hikarin Gakure. He was ready to jump and swung his sword down towards the scythe when a big root seized it in mid-air.
He could hear her grunts as he noticed Harishima pushing the chain with both hands while dragging the scythe. General McAvin emerged behind him while he was pulling.
As soon as he emerged behind him, he swung his sword down at his head with his right hand. He avoided it by dashing to his right while pulling his chain.

After seeing him dodge without looking, General McAvin's eyes widened. He was then kicked in the gut, sending him flying and slamming into a massive tree. He quickly rose to his feet and notices him holding his scythe in the distance.
Hikarin Gakure races towards him after hearing someone fall on the ground behind him. He hears it but ignores it as he reaches Harishima with General McAvin.
As he sees General McAvin and Hikarin Gakure preparing to swing their swords down and murder him, he spreads out the dark chain with his left hand even more and grips his scythe with his right hand hard. Harishima suddenly began to smile as he stepped with enormous force on the ground with his left foot, and the entire ground he was standing on fell completely.
"He used the weak ground where the roots are... Wait, the roots have vanished?! What happened?!" he said fiercely as he stepped in his left foot to one of the rocks and sprang away to avoid sinking in with him.
General McAvin drew his sheath from his left waist, tossed it on the ground, kicked it, and utilized it to jump back. He then flies backwards in midair and lands on top of a massive tree branch. He takes a long breath and turns around, exhaling deeply.
Hikarin Gakure made a back flip as he turn around and sees his other swordsmen helping the swordswoman stand. His eyes widened when he sees a slash in her right eye.
"Hikarin! Your left!" she exclaimed as Hikarin turned to his left and saw a sickle poised to stab him. It was spinning quickly. He immediately crouched to avoid the sickle and turned around enraged.
He turns around just in time to see Harishima poised to slash him with his scythe. As he saw Harishima throw the dark chain tied to his scythe around him, he raised his sword with his right hand. He notices that he is about to be pinched.
Suddenly, he heard a clap, and the ground he was standing on shook, revealing a wall of roots. It prevented the chains from trapping him as he jumped up, swung his sword up, and deflected his scythe.
He sighs as he floats through the air. Harishima was pierced in the stomach by a massive root. He grunts as he quickly rotated his scythe down the root and chopped it. He leaped aside as he was stabbed from behind.

He looks to the right and notices General McAvin. Then Hikarin Gakure appeared in front of them and was about to cut off his head when the ground they were standing on suddenly lit up bright blue. Their eyes widened as they were all abruptly sent back.
They were all sent back by a shocked wave. It was so powerful that it smashed through General McAvin and slammed into three massive trees. While Hikarin Gakure and the other two were dispatched to the ground in front of him. They both slammed to the ground and collided with a massive boulder and a massive tree as Hikarin Gakure was launched into the air at least 300 feet above the ground.
"What the hell just happened?! Did he release a shockwave this powerful?! It sent me far high up! Who the hell is he?! Did I make a mistake?" he wondered frantically as he realized he was being pushed back even further in the air, and after a few seconds he began to fall rapidly fast.
He looks down at Harishima on the ground and notices that he is wearing a mask. When he saw him wearing a mask, he felt a strong force surrounding him and noticed a number in the left side of his cheek. As he recognized who it was, his eyes widened.
