Chapitre 5: Battle Between Siris
The second floor was spacious with four big pillars at the edge of the floor which was supporting the third floor. A large black piano and a leather chair was at the centre of the room, and it was the only thing on this floor.
Keiser looked around and couldn't find anyone!!
"how weird I can feel a heartbeat but there is no one in sight." said Keiser, his eyes widening with a confused look on his face.
He kept walking forward as he looked around vigilantly, his hand already on his back, as his sword appeared and disappeared.
when he was few metres away from the piano, suddenly he heard a voice and it said," how would you like to hear a song? no a concert just for you, young man."
The piano then, started playing soft music which was calming and beautiful echoing throughout the second floor even reaching the first floor. But such calm and beautiful music was what preceded the actual storm that was to come.
There was no one on the chair. A shocked look appeared on keiser's face with his eyes almost popping out from his sockets.
He stopped walking and gazed at the piano intensely and said," did the piano just speak? or am I hearing things. may be I have met one of the ghosts that I read about when I was in the island. This is exciting, Ghost man. where are you? show yourself."
"Why should I show myself just because you asked me to? lets start the concert of death boy," said the voice as the music got louder and louder, then suddenly a vertical purple sword beam was sent flying towards Keiser.
A sword beam is a technique which one needs to transfer their soul power to the weapon and release it, this technique requires one to have a good control over their soul power, after all a person's gift came from the soul.
The sword beam was fast however, keiser leaped up avoiding the beam. He looked back as he came down and, he saw the sword beam slice through the wall and dissipate outside. More purple beams came flying at Keiser from the piano' s direction. Keiser dodged, leaped and parried all the sword attacks.
"How annoying," said Keiser as he changed his stance, he held his sword on his right side parallel to the ground and he shouted, 'LIGHT SWORD ENLARGE'. The sword enlarged up to 50 centimetres and brightened the dark room.
A huge horizontal light sword beam was released from Keiser enlarged sword, its target was the piano. All this happened too fast for the enemy to react.
The sword beam sliced through the piano and the leather chair, but it suddenly stopped, and it looked like it was pushing against a sword which was surrounded by a purple layer.
"what a disappointment, I was excited to see a ghost man not a lizard wearing a suit." said keiser as he sighed shaking his head.
The man furrowed his eye brows, clearly angered by Keiser remark, it spoke saying," I am not a lizard, your damn human I am a chameleon how many times must I say that. and what's wrong with a suit? Are you trying to say I have no fashion sense?"
The chamelon man had purple mask covering his mouth and nose, only the upper part of the face was visible. He had two large round eyes which gave him advantage in battles, his purple hair was so long that he tied it around his waist and wore a purple suit. He had a tail which curled itself. However, their was something going on with his body which left keiser curious. It had scales and kept on changing colours trying to match it to its surrounding which was all light due to keiser's sword.
The Beastman was contesting with Keiser sword attack as he released more soul power to his sword.
He spoke and said," Damn all this light now I can't even stay concealed."
Keiser smiled and said what's the difference a chameleon is still a lizard. "he leaped up and appeared on the left side of the Beastman and sliced his sword in a downward strike as he said, "sorry but I want you to die for harming those innocent poor people, selling them drugs and ruining their life. I will never forgive those who harm the innocent."
The Beastman then suddenly increased the soul power he was releasing, and he pushed back the light sword beam back before keiser's sword reached he moved to the right to avoid a more fatal wound.
The sword hit the ground breaking all the tiles at the centre and causing dust. All this happened in a matter of seconds.
Keiser looked at his sword which had blood stains at the top and said," how lucky I thought I would at least take an arm as he moved his sword up and down to remove the blood stains."
The Beastman looked at his wound and licked the blood that was flowing from it. He said," my brothers call me Hamil the invisible assassin. what's your name young siris?"
Keiser smiled and said truly a worthy title, but your invincibility won't work on me and my name is Keiser the future empire of the world, nice to get acquainted with you.
Hamil laughed so hard that he shed tears, he said, "the future emperor of the world... don't joke around!! do you even have any idea how big the world is and the kingdoms whom are fighting for control? do you know how strong the men under those kingdoms are? You are just a frog in the bottom of the well. Today I will teach you what despair means and how big the world really is."
Keiser looked at him and said," of course I know that I will have to face people that are a thousand times stronger than me but so what that just means I will have to train and get stronger a thousand times more. I know even that won't be enough to accomplish my dreams so I have decided to get strong friends who I can rely on, an unbeatable army that will never lose to anyone."
'AWAKEN AND CONCEAL THYSELF CHAMELA' said Hamil. A huge purple soul power started pouring out from Hamil surrounding him and forming a cocoon with him inside.
several seconds later the cocoon split up and five Hamils stepped out brimming with soul power and ready to battle.
Keiser looked at him and said," so that's the true name of your soul and what a wonderful ability."
one can only be called a siris when they can awaken their soul by stating its true name. Some can control a small amount of soul power which leads them to lying to themselves, and to the society, believing they are siris. However, if they end up fighting an actual siris they will truly despair.
Hamil looked at Keiser and replied," yeaah, this is the gift from my soul. what are you waiting for, awaken your soul and receive your gift, I don't want this fight to be boring? it's been ages since I last went all out."
Keiser shrugged his shoulders and said," I don't know the name of my soul."
Hamil with an angered look as the veins on his forehead popped up said," don't mock me how can you not know the name of your soul when you are able to release that huge amount of soul power. do not mock me and hurry up I will give your 10 seconds." All five Hamils then suddenly disappeared.
◇◇◇
At the first floor, the battle ground should have been chaos with the members of the gang all fighting Roho with no formation and no experience at battling a siris at all. However it was quiet and only grunting could be heard from the members of the Happy Gang as they laid on the floor unable to get up as if gravity just multiplied by several times and crushing their bodies to the ground.
They was only one person surrounded by a green layer of soul power which protected him from the gravity increase and that was the bartender.
"Your ability is definitely strong and rare even in the seven kingdoms so what are you doing in these wastelands, "said the bartender as he held his sword tightly.
Soul power was getting concentrated on Roho' s gauntlets as he rushed towards the bartender and threw a right hook with the force of 10x the normal gravity.
The bartender swung his sword to collide with the coming fist however he was blown back smashing into his counter. Blood seeped out on the bartender's forehead. He stood up removed a napkin from his front pocket and wiped out the blood dripping from his forehead and applied a herb which he removed from the hilt of his sword to stop the bleeding.
Roho spoke with anger as he said," I travel the world to bring justice to the innocent and weak, who are used and harmed by their own country who are supposed to protect them. your gang dare to sell drugs to the poor who only have so little, yet you plunge them to despair and take what little they have."
The bartender said," what nonsense are you sprouting. drugs!!! we don't sell those things, why would we plunge and destroy the people of poor town when we are the ones that protect and give them free food to eat. when we arrived here one year ago it was total chaos, the Usman clan just usurped the territory by killing the ruling clan and plunging the territory into despair. there was no food or jobs given to the poor and people were dying like flies.
There was no law protecting the people truly a wasteland. Gangs then emerged and the stronger ones that could use small amount of soul power reigned over the weak with terror and force. we came here and destroyed all those people bringing order back to the poor town and now you are claiming that we sell drugs and bully the weak. what nonsense are u spouting. Did you speak to the residence of the town and gather information about happy gang?
The Bartender`s word planted some doubt in Roho`s heart however he pushed all those thought behind and thought to himself we will find out when we supress all of you.
Roho shouted and said," stop with lies old man, one of you own members led us here."
The bartender replied and said who, show him to me, I know every single member of our gang and the ones that are in this city are all here right now.
Roho rubbed the back of his hair and said," he left right away when he brought as here." the bartender placed his hand on his forehead and said this is all just a big misunderstanding. it`s probably the work of the Usman clan. they see us as a threat now, so they are trying to cause chaos and discord to turn the people on us. it looks like their plan just worked perfectly.
Suddenly, his face changed colour as if he heard some shocking news, the soul power of Hamis just disappeared!! No, it was so small that he could barely feel it."
Roho noticed the change in his facial expression. The bartender then suddenly run towards the stairs that lead to the second floor. Roho shouted, "wait old man our fight is not yet over as he run after him."
At the second floor the fight was already concluded. Hamil laid on the floor unconscious as blood dripped from his chest. There was a sword wound on his chest, however he was not dead just barely breathing.
Keiser already left he was on the stairs enroute to the third floor. He was panting heavily clearly, he was fatigued however he moved on going forward. He said," that technique always takes a lot of soul power, but it matters not I will finally meet her `Iman the boss` I wonder what she is like?"
