A few minutes ago, Gautam, Akai and Marco had already seen the count and his two bodyguards walking in the hallways.
They followed them and waited for the signal.
*BAANNGG!!
""AAHH!! ENEMIES!!!""
After hearing the shouts outside Gautam said in a whisper.
"It's time!"
Then, they heard the count ordering Rays to help the patrolmen outside, so Gautam decided to incapacitate him swiftly!
*Swoosh!!
*Baanngg!!
*Ziinng!!!
Kicking him in the chest, he then unsheathed his katana slowly as he asked, and walked towards the count.
"Count Byron Capelle we have a few questions to ask you..."
Marco looked at Rays who had already stood up, he understood that Gautam wanted him to deal with Rays as a form of experience, that's why he just kicked him in the chest.
Rays and Carter were both at the Master Level swordsman for a long time now, even if they haven't broken through the grandmaster level yet, their rich experience in fighting would make fighting for him as well as Eiji and Akai very hard to win against!
So Marco rushed towards Rays as he swung his katana!
*Ziinng!!!
*Clang!!!
A clanging sound was heard as their katana and sword clashed.
Rays managed to defend Marco's attack, but he was a bit surprised at his power, he didn't expect that this person, who looked like a chuld because of his height, is also a Master level swordsman like him!
"Sir! I will deal with him, you can go and leave first!"
"A-alright!"
Nodding his head, the Count went and ran in the direction he had been before. He knew that only those people would be able to save him now!
Carter then went forward to confront Gautam, he knew that they were now in a bad situation as Rays and him would be confronting an enemy each, and they still didn't know if they had other people with them!
'I need to end this quick!'
Thinking so, Carter attacked Gautam.
"Haahhh!!"
*Swoooshh!!
The ground beneath their feets cracked as they rushed towards each other. Carter had a big build and was more taller than Gautam, but even then it was actually Gautam who was overpowering him in their exchanges!
*Baanngg!!!!
Each of their exchanges created shockwaves that caused the surrounding walls to crack.
On the other side, Marco and Rays were also fighting each other.
Marco had the upper hand but couldn't touch Rays, as he was alsways able to defend whenever he felt danger!
'Dammit! I need to end this quick! With Eiji on the look out for the count, he is good as done! That Damned Moryo would aso be done in by Akai by about this time!
But with the uncertainty of those visitors , We need to end this fast before they could get here! But how do I do this?!'
While Marco was thinking on how to gain the upper hand on his fight, Eiji was stalking the Count.
The Count was running in circles in the mansion but was very decisive in taking his turns to get to where he wanted to.
And from what Eiji could infer, the count should want to get to his visitors right now!
*Swoooshh!!!
"Aaaahhhh!!!!"
With a burst of speed, Eiji used his Quick Draw technique and slashed the back of the count in an instant!
"Aarrggh!! D-Dammit! You guys from Masamune Kingdom are too persistent eh?!"
Even when he was injured, the count still laughed at Eiji.
Eiji didn't strike him to kill, but rather to incapacitate and take him along for interrogation, so the count was still alive and kicking!
"I apologize, but I need you to come with me!"
"Hahah! Fuck you!! Little Bastard! Phew!"
Laughing maniacally, Count Byron Capelle spat a mouthful of blood towards Eiji.
Eiji evaded it and walked slowly towards him.
"Once again, I am sorry for this!"
*Thud!
With a chop on the back of his head, the count fainted.
Eiji slowly raised the count's body up, carrying him in his shoulder like a sack.
It was a funny sight actually, a ten year old boy carrying a man in his thirties in his shoulders!
"Oohh??!! What do we have here?!"
As Eiji walked back, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
Eiji froze in his steps.
He didn't need to be a genius or a seer to know who was behind him! It was those visitors from this morning!
They had come!
*Boooommmm!!!!
Eiji felt the suffocating power behind him!
*Thud!
*Crrraaacxkkk!!!
The count that he was carrying, was dropped as he also dropped to his knees!
"Aah-!! Aahh!!"
Eiji couldn't breathe!
He had once felt this pressure before!
Then..
Slowly!
And with determination!
He slowly turned his head as he tried to look back!
*Baaannngg!!!
The pressure intensified as he looked!
In his blurring vision, he saw a handsome young man with a playful smile on his face as he looked at him.
Beside him was a middle aged man emanating the ferocious aura that Eiji was currently resisting!
---
*Baanngg!!!
On the other side, Gautam managed to kicked Carter in his chest sinking him into the walls when suddenly he felt the whole mansion rumble!
His expression paled, he looked at Marco who was also pale a he felt the pressure around.
Rays who was already exhausted and was already injured by Gautam, was at the ground blood all over his body!
He was caught off guard by Marco's Blood Sword Powers and was blinded by a few seconds and those seconds cost him his life!
"MARCO!! LETS GO! LETS GO! LETS GO! WE NEED TO SAVE EIJI!"
"Y-YES SIRR!!"
Both of them were from a big clan, and they were all familiar with this suffocating pressure!
A pressure worthy of only those that were Vice- Head and Head of a department and also those that were leaders of huge big clans!
This was... A Grandmaster!!!
*End Of Chapter!
