Capítulo 27: Way of the sword?

Flow burst!

A palm, glowing blue, strikes Zurie but is countered with her own palm. The opposite forces repel both.

"So, this is the strength of an experienced human. Too bad you're so weak..." Zurie mumbles with her soft voice.

"Seems like I wasn't the only one who realised something" Giving off a cold gaze, Jack commented. Thanks to the sense potion, his hearing has increased greatly, he heard Zurie's mumble. Before they clash again, the door knocks. Both stop in their tracks.

"Sorry, is everything alright?" A voice from outside the room, but the tone of voice it was the receptionist. It seems their fight is disturbing the other tenants.

As much as Jack would love to spill the beans, if he does not deal with Zurie now he will regret it later and he doubts he could escape with the bracelet Zurie gave him still attached.

When he needed to ask Zurie for money to buy the stink bombs, he was told off for playing around with the bracelet as she is connected to the bracelet, she was able feel what Jack was doing. There he learnt that he can't take the bracelet off unless she allows it. When he was told, he wasn't really surprised since it was a possibility to happen but at the time Jack had full confidence to get the Rose and didn't think that Ian would literally blow up the church!

The door opens by Jack with Zurie behind Jack, peeking her head out, and Jack smiling towards the receptionist.

"Sorry about the noise, we were having an argument due to stress of our ill grandfather"

"Ah, well that's understandable, just be little quieter"

The receptionist let them off easy as she is aware that someone is very ill in the room and understands the pain of witnessing a loved one dying.

After the reeptionist left, Jack closed the door and they stared at each other than the messy room. That was too close for comfort but they managed to survive having to explain the colletral damage...

"You don't want to kill me, do you?" Zurie could have attacked Jack at that moment and could have silenced everyone in the building...yet she didn't?

"You think too much Jack." Looking down the floor, Zurie lightly smiles.

Jack sighs " Why is that old man so important? Do you feel guilty for trying to vampirise him?"

She looks up "I....did not do that to him"

Well that was unexpected, Jack guessed she bit him but instead of turning him into a vampire, it gave him the sickness. That begs the question of why she wants to save him.

'I wonder…..' Jack brings out the small marble he found at the church, instantly it began to glow while Zurie's eye widen.

"T-T-T-" She reached her hand and the crimson marble flew towards her.

'So I guess that thing holds her power or something?' Jack thought, seeing her reaction.

Zurie walks over to the dying man: opens his mouth and places the marble. She places her hand on his chest, closes her eyes, with the other hand she extends it towards Jack.

"I need you to lend me your energy"

'We just fought...and you want me to help ...fine' After a short consideration, Jack agrees, as he knows its either this or a fight that may end with his death.

He holds her soft, squishy hand and her body started to glow. Jack could feel his energy being sucked away by Zurie. The old man mouth begins to glow a crimson red like Zurie: his head began to move upwards from the reaction between the forces.

———————————

Late at night in a small house in the alleyway. Boku wakes up and grabs his sword. He gets up from his bed: looks out the window and sees a figure in black.

Boku opens his window and jumps towards the figure. 'Mystic mist style first step vanish' Boku vanishes mid air, leaving a trail of mist.

Ping!

Boku swings his blade at the figures left side: before he made contact, the figure jolts his arm up; sending Boku flying, holding his sword defensively, out of the alleyway and onto the streets. Boku rolls backward to soften his landing.

The figure disappears: appearing behind Boku, while he is standing up, swinging his left arm, glowing in amber, at Boku's back.

'Mystic mist style first step vanish'

Ping! Again his sword was reflected. Boku tried to strike at his left but the figure changed from a straight punch to a side swing!Boku flies at least 50 steps away.

Boku charges forward for multiple attacks: using his mystic mist first step constantly combined with his other mist style steps. The figure left hand envelops in amber aura

Boku constantly uses his techniques to pressure the enemy to find a weak point however each strike,slash and pierce is either deflected,reflected or blocked by the figure's left hand with minimum effort.

'This isn't working' Boku thought after his one hundredth attempt. With heavy breathing on his end while his opponent isn't letting out a single noise, it's clear who is in an unfavourable situation.

'This is humiliating, first I lost against a person not using proper magic and now I am losing against someone who only uses his left hand!' Boku clenches his teeth, unwilling to die without at least hurting his foe!

'His killing intent is strong, I must get him to back off with everything I got!' Making his decision, Boku holds his sword forward and regulates his breathing to increase his concentration.

Intense pressure begins to release from Boku even the his opponent staggers slightly. Silver white aura emits from Boku, cracking the ground beneath him, increasing his power drastically.

"Interesting! God hand!" The figure spoke, raising his left hand up, an aura hand of four times the size of a normal hand appears and sends it to Boku's way!

A white aura extends from Boku's blade, making a large blade of solid energy and he slashes down the "god hand" in two! Dispersing both energy figures.

After, Boku flash steps to his opponent and attacks at the neck.

Swish

The figure dodges! Boku got him to dodge!

Mystic step-

Unlike last time, Boku speed and power have caused his opponent to work harder to block his attacks!

However, he is still only using his left hand.

'Faster, faster, faster' All that is going through Boku's head. As the fight is going on, Boku's speed and power keep increasing but his vision is getting darker.

"Force" the figure nonchalantly says and a pulse of energy bursts from his left arm, pushing Boku up!

"Bye" The foe strikes with his left fingers, aiming for Boku's heart.

Just before his chest got pierced, it seemed like time has slowed down for Boku.

'Way of the sword, double slash'

Suddenly Boku appears behind his opponent, his sword back in its sheath.

Blood spurts out of the figures left arm! His left hand was sliced off and his arm was sliced off separately!

"Impressive" The man voices out.
