The wind was blowing, and everything around them was quiet. The two of them were able to smell blood and hear silence. Sezikiri stretches his entire body in under a minute, while Five looks on, perplexed.
"How are you alive?!" Five exclaimed calmly, not taking his gaze away from him. Five then draws his blade with his right hand silently. Sezikiri notices it late, yet he suddenly exhibits no fear.
"That's for you to figure out... My name is Sezikiri from the Senzi Clan of the City of Woods, and I've got to say that it's an honor to meet someone like you who is more powerful than I could imagine," Sezikiri said, honoring Five in the distance who immediately grinned. Another bomb emerged out of nowhere in his left hand.
Sezikiri was surprised to discover that it was formed of energy. His energy was transforming into metal, which was then transformed into a bomb. As he sighs and displays his chest, abs, and handsomeness, he doesn't understand the logic. As he approached him, Five formed an expressionless face.
"You should've stayed dead. I will slash to pieces and ashes. I don't know to want kind of tricks you are playing me but I don't care since you are weak," Five stated menacingly as he stroke his sword in his right hand and kept bouncing down and up his bomb in his left hand.
Sezikiri's countenance became solemn as he realized he was about to be attacked. He has a serious expression on his face and hopes to be wearing his mask. As he inhales the fresh air, he sighs, but there is a faint blood odor.
"You killed my comrades one by one... I won't forgive you a single bit! Mark my words, I will kill you!" Sezikiri said menacingly as he raised his sword front sideways. Then Five appeared in front of him, prepared to swing his sword.
Their blades met with such force that the ground they were standing on was demolished. The impact sent Sezikiri up, causing massive fissures in the ground. He couldn't stand up to the power as he was sliced near his neck.
He coughed again as blood dripped down the side of his neck, but it mended in the blink of an eye. Five notices that it has healed, but he remains confused as to what is going on. He then leapt at him as Sezikiri vanished in mid-air.
His eyes widened as he realized he had another remarkable skill. As he sensed Sezikiri behind him about to swing his sword down, he slowly turned his gaze to the left. He instantly turned around, lowered his left hand, pointed it to the ground, and then abruptly raised it.
A pillar was created and caught Sezikiri, but he quickly swung his sword at it, slicing it to pieces. Five smirks as he sighs and raises his blade, which he holds in both hands.
He then kicked with both of his feet in mid-air while twisting and flying at Sezikiri. He widens his eyes as he notices Five poised to slash him again. At that point, he notices that his other eye has mended. That caused him to slash toward him in the air.
Although the blade of his sword was out of reach, he launched a flying slash wind attack at him. It caught Sezikiri and hit him in the chest. He growls as he is redirected to a massive tree. He crashed into it, grunting even harder, and then vanished as blood sprayed across the ground.
Five then landed on the ground and looked around. He didn't notice Sezikiri's presence for a few seconds, but he knows he was there. He was still trying to figure out how he was still alive and what he was doing that was causing him to re-attach himself to one piece.
"Sezikiri! You are the most mysterious swordsman to me... You are different from the rest. What are you really?" He asked as he looked around when suddenly he sensed Sezikiri approaching him from behind. That made him turn around seeing Sezikiri approaching him.
On his right, he notices the blade of his sword glowing bright red. There was no blood in his body this time, but his left eye was bleeding. It was nonstop bleeding, with blood flowing from his chin and cheeks.
"Like I said... That's for you to figure out! You killed my comrades like I said, and you'll pay for it with your life. I will not only scratch you, but kill you with my own bright glowing blade," Sezikiri remarked calmly as he raised his sword and moved into a stance with his right hand in front of him.
Sezikiri suddenly swooped at him, destroying the ground beneath him with a red trail from his blade. He swung it at his head. When Five noticed his speed had increased, his eyes opened.
"Red Phoenix Slashed," Sezikiri released a calm technique as suddenly Five sees his figure has turned into a red Phoenix seeing his sword-like fierce claws towards him about to slash him. It hit him in the chest and that made him grunt as he immediately backed away.
He slides to the ground as Sezikiri prepares to hurl another technique at him. Five suddenly stabbed his sword to the ground with his right hand to his right and swung its sword up towards him as it was being stabbed.
Giant rocks were thrown at him and hit him, yet he did not flinch. When he saw Sezikiri charging towards him, Five immediately backed up. As he clutched his sword, he menacingly stroked it.
"Hmm? What the hell is this human? Is this an inherent power? If so, he is from a clan, a kind of swordsman like him is dangerous, should I kill him for our own good and avoid taking over his body?" Five pondered as he swung his sword down in the air and launched another flying slashed assault at him.
He avoided it by dashing to the left and leaping towards him. He approaches him and they face one other as Five makes a serious look while they make eye contact.
"Swords Style Technique! Whirling Wind of the Phoenix!" Sezikiri released another technique. He twisted himself over and over as soon as he reached Five. He slashed him many times and he managed to sever his left hand.
It was a vicious attack that stabbed him many times around his torso in a split second. He stopped twisting himself as he drove his blade towards his chest, but Five caught his blade with his freshly regenerated left hand.
He then raised his right leg and kicked Five in the chin, which caused him to drop his blade. He quickly backed off, but Five flew towards him before he could.
He slammed him to the ground after punching him in the gut. He was going to kick him in the face when he moved to his left and evaded the kick and rolled, which smashed the ground on which he was laying.
He quickly rose to his feet as he was suddenly surrounded by massive pillars. He jumped right away and made it to the top of the pillar.
He looked down at the ground and noticed that he was already a hundred feet in the air due to the pillar. Five then pulls out his sheath with his left hand and strikes the pillar that elevated him. It became engulfed in a dark flame, causing his eyes to widen.
He immediately leaped to the left, avoiding the black flame that was about to catch both of his feet. He landed on a massive tree, then rolled into massive branches before landing on the ground. When he turns back, he sees Five pull out another bomb and immediately stands.
When he looked around, he realized there was more than one bomb surrounding him. As he cleared his throat, his eyes widened in terror, and light flashed everywhere. A big explosion happened, and a massive black smoke plume can be seen from afar. A section of a forest was destroyed, leaving a massive crater on the ground where the explosion happened.
Five can be seen in the distance re-sheathing his blade while staring at the black smoke, waiting for him to resurface. As he sees a sudden flying blade towards him that flew out of the smoke, the black smoke was covering an entire area of a forest.
He moved his head to the left, avoiding the sword that flew towards him. That made him smile, but he quickly turned serious when he saw Sezikiri emerge from the black smoke, holding two swords in his hands. His left hand had a standard sword, while his right held a flaming brilliant red blade.
