"Aarrggh!!"
"Aaahhh!!"
Outside the mansion, Day Koji and Hiroto Kato had been fighting for nearly an hour by now!
They were very exhausted!
They didn't know how many people they had killed or the number of limbs they have severed.
But the chaotic situation caused the swordsmen of the City of Sunrise to come to help the count's mansion and surrounded them!
This was the true danger that they had thought about when Eiji suggested the plan.
The chaos would attract the attention of the city and the kingdom itself, so they need to do the work fast, before even more reinforcement arrive!
"Aahhh! Th- they should be done by now right?!"
Asked Kato as he leaned his back on Koji who was also exhausted like him.
"Haahh! Haaahh!! I- I dont know..!! Haahh! If.. if they haa.. had done it already haahh!.. they should haaave helped uss!!"
"Haaahh! Haha! Yeah!!! Haah! Damn! Let's do this! Koji!"
"Hahah! Lets go!!!"
Both of them knew that Gautam and the others wouldn't abandon the two of them, so them not helping meant that the situation still wasn't ideal.
But just when they were about to reengage their surrounding opponents...
*BAAANNNGG!!!
The whole mansion suddenly rumbled and the two of them as well as everyone surrounding them was dropped to the ground!
"This..!! This- is!!!"
Koji eyes went wide and so did Kato's.
The two of them knew exactly what level of power need to have this type of soul crushing pressure!
This was a level of power that the two of them had been chasing their whole lives as well as something they themselves had already known that they wouldn't be able to attain in their lives!
This was the power of a Grandmaster Swordsman!!!
"KATO!! We need to hurry and help them! They- the kids are in danger!"
"I- I know Koji! Let's Hurry up!"
*Swoooshh!!!
Without caring about the surrounding swordsmen, they ran past them as they rushed inside the mansion.
These men were either just an elite level or even just a student level swordsman, they wouldn't be able to stand up much less walk with this pressure bearing all over their bodies!
Some of them even fainted and had froth all over their mouths!
---
At the underground level of the mansion, Akai was running within the shadows and was ready to back up Gautam and the others.
He had already killed Moryo who was locked up by the count.
He had already done his job, so they had no more use for him, they locked him up before killing him because there was not enough time as they still need to prepare for the Count's guests to arrive.
*Swoosh!!
*Baaannngg!!!!
As Akai ran upwards the stairs, he suddenly stumbled and nearly fell down, his eyes went wide as he felt the pressure around the whole mansion.
*Swoosh!!!
He reappeared in the light once again. He wasnt able to continue hiding in the shadows as he bore the pressure!
"D-Dammit!! This is!?... I need to help them!!"
Akai knew that the others were in danger right now! He needed to help them!
Gautam, Marco, Koji, Kato and Akai knew the danger they were in, they all moved towards the direction the pressure was emanating the most!
*Crrrkkkkk!!!
The ground beneath Eiji was already in shambles!
"Aarrrghhhhhh!!!!!!"
Even though he was on all fours, Eiji still gritted his teeth, blood flowed out in all of his orifices as he slowly turned around to face the two of them!
*Baaannngg!!!
The ground beneath him cracked even more as he tried to move.
The young man beside the Grandmaster was smiling as he said.
"The children from the kingdom of Masamune are really talented! Each generation had people like you who are very determined and are very excellent in terms of knowledge and skill!"
He walked forwards towards Eiji as he smiled kindly at him.
"But.. That doesn't mean our kingdom doesn't have talent either, besides, we have killed people who are even more talented and skilled than you before they even mature..."
By now the stealth of the cloak was already disrupted! And the hood was swept away by the fierce wind revealing Eiji's young face!
Eiji had a bloodshot eyes as he looked at the two of them.
*Crrraaackkk!!
As the bones in his arms creaked, Eiji still tried to unsheath the katana in his belt.
Eiji didn't understand what the young man was talking about nor was he interested in knowing, what he knows is that he needs to survive! And to survive, he needs to fight!
"Oohhh???!! Yamada! This guys is really great! What a will power! He should be around ten years old! But he had resisted a Grandmaster's pressure for almost two minutes now! How awesome is that?!"
"You are right, your highness, a ten year old with this kind of will power would be very dangerous if left to mature! We need to kill him right now!"
Yamada, the Grandmaster protecting the young man said in a deep voice.
"Hmm... Yeah.. it's too bad, had he been from our Kusanagi kingdom, I would have recruited him and made him one of my personal attendant!"
'kusanagi?'
Eiji exclaimed in his head!
Kusanagi kingdom and Masamune Kingdom had always been at odds for a long long time!
They had small and big wars over the cours of history!
In fact, skirmishes and secret plotting like this are very much common, but having a Grandmaster and from what that Yamada guy had been addressing the young had been, a prince of sorts, is very rare!
With a Godlike being above them watching the world closely, Kusanagi kingdom really had the audacity to provoke an attack to the kingdom of Masamune?!
'Wait... This isn't an attack from the Kusanagi! This was a betrayal! Without evidence backing us up, we wouldn't be able tell them that the Kusanagi kingdom started the fight, and Day Moryo was from the Masamune kingdom, so this would just be an internal struggle with the Count of another country taking pity of an abandoned man!
In the end, the kingdom would be unable to oin the blame of this situation to the Kusanagi, and we might even have to send some sort of compensation because we are the ones that have invaded another kingdom!'
Eiji was shocked at his own deduction, he wasn't exactly that great at politics, but he knew two things in the current world, One, there is someone watching them from above, and two, that if you want to blame someone you will need evidence if not....
Eiji stopped what he was thinking, he was still in a dangerous situation, he needs to go back home first before he could do his deductions!
'beside.... This...'
"This..."
"This?!"
The young man was perplexed at Eiji's words.
"Is...."
"???"...
'Nothing.. compared to master's sword intent!'
*Swoooshh!!!
*End Of Chapter.
