BATTLE CRY'S

Lontara 13: Straw Hats Man

"Kriaaak!!"

Andros pulls Cyana away. The monkey body was the size of an adult bear.

'His strength was equivalent to a late-level Magician Advance.!!' inner Andros.

"Back off Cyana, I'll handle this!"

Andros darted quickly forward, approaching the monkey.

The monkey let out an attack from his sharp fingernails. Andros avoided that swift attack.

Then launched several attacks on the monkey's arm.

"The Hundred Swords, 54th Technique. It rains in winter!"

"Sad, the skin is hard." Andros started raining down on the monster's back with a quick strike.

The fight is very unbalanced. Andros tried to survive but did not last long. Then when she saw the gap, Cyana ran towards Andros' back and used it as a foothold.

Cyana jumped up high and stabbed the monkey in the eye.

"Kriehakhh!!!" The monkey's middle eye was stuck in a black dagger. He screamed before Andros pierced the monkey's throat until it broke.

"Hundred Sword Technique, 5th Technique. Fatal Puncture."

The sword pierced through the monkey's head, not there. Andros pulled out another style.

"Technique 1, Single Slash" Andros split the monkey's head in half.

The monkey fell lifeless. Blood poured out from his split head. Andros' breath was wheezed, as he fought with this monkey. If Cyana doesn't let the monkey off guard she can't keep up with the monkey. And their lives will be threatened.

Cyana pulled out her dagger casually as if nothing had happened, Andros was a little amazed by Cyana's mature mentality, he seemed to be unperturbed by this murder, Andros alone still feels uncomfortable if it kills too much. Although Andros was amazed there was a sense of worry appearing inside Andros.

Just as they sighed, two Three Eyed Devil Monkeys appeared.

"Damn it, they must smell their friend's blood, let's go Cyana!" Andros pulled Cyana's hand. But the creature surrounded them.

Andros clenched his teeth, if he was bait there is a possibility that Cyana can escape but it could be one of these monkeys chasing Cyana.

"Damn, this should be a safe area. But why did they get here?!"

Andros' heart beat fast, cold sweat pouring down his temple. Until he heard laughter.

Andros looked at the source of the voice, a middle-aged man in a straw hat with four different swords clad in each other slung around his waist. A dozen small blades were hanging on his waist. There was a chain running across his shoulder. And he carried a basket on his back containing dozens of swords. He also smokes.

After he laughed, he smoked the cigarette then exhaled casually.

"But, too, boy!" Exclaims.

Andros frowned, While the two monkeys looked at the man with hatred. The monkey changed their target to the old man.

"Basic animals are senseless. You don't realize how many animals like you I've killed?." The man smiled sinisterly then held the two swords from his waist, then removed them from the sheath.

Andros widened his eyes because of the sword, which in the man's right hand released a strong chill and then the sword in his right hand emitted a reddish glow from its magma-like blade.

When the two monkeys attacked, the old man suddenly disappeared. And appeared behind the two monkeys.

"Forbidden Sword Technique, Flashing!" Said softly the man then ferociously slashed his two swords on the monkey's body.

"Forbidden Sword Technique, Man-Eater!" The monkey's body was easily split apart like it was tofu by the two swords of that person.

"Hurry up!, what technique did he use?!"

"Too fast twenty thousand years for you to defeat me." The man sheathed his sword again and walked leisurely towards Andros. But strangely enough, the monkey's corpse turned into a burning lump of ice and flesh.

Andros became on standby, in a magical world like this it was the strong who ate the weak. And there was also no reason for the man to save Andros and Cyana. That made Andros suspicious.

Despite Andros's alert it was not foolish to put the horses attacking to this man. Andros smiled kindly and greeted.

"Thank you senior for saving us. We're..."

Andros has not finished saying the man disappeared. Andros then looked back, it turned out that Cyana had been insulted by that person.

"The forbidden sword technique. Blink!" The man smiled mockingly at Andros while Cyana thrashed and was about to stab him.

"Ups, a little girl like you shouldn't be holding a weapon like this." The man knocked Cyana unconscious by striking the back of her neck.

"Seniors. Please let her go." Andros held the handle of his sword.

"Please let go of the little girl. Senior" Andros tightened his grasp.

"I'll take this girl, you go. Think of this girl as a payday because I saved you"

"I-I'll give you gold instead. Please let her go."

"Do you think I'm the one who looks like he needs money?" The man smiled even more while Andros felt it was useless to talk to this person. He won't give up Cyana well either.

"Can't be senior. I'm not gonna give it. Even though I have to pay with my life." Andros pulled out his sword this time.

The man throws Cyana into the bush and stands in front of Andros.

"You don't love your life, rancid boy. All right, I'll kill you fast." The man did not draw his sword. He could even kill Andros with one finger if he wanted to.

Andros clenched his teeth and charged forward. He exerted his inner strength that was left from the fight with the monkey.

"Hundred-sword move, 54th Technique. It rains in winter!"

Andros deployed an attack that attacked the opponent's vital point.

"Hmph, I've seen that style. It won't work for me." The man dodged easily. Sneering.

"Cih, the Hundred Swords. Technique 56th. The spring cry!"

"Hahaha, technique is good. But not enough." This time the man unleashed a blow to Andros' stomach.

Andros vomited blood and then bounced and hit a tree.

Andros spat out fresh blood from his mouth.

"You, don't drain magic energy in every single one of your attacks. Don't you have no sense or lest you can't use magic huh." The man laughed out loud, he could tell that too because when he landed a punch in Andros' stomach he examined Andros' body but he did not feel the slightest bit of magic energy in the young man's body.

"People who don't have magic are like dust in this world. There's no price. Rubbish is useless, even a mere hunk of stone has a hint of magic in it. Aren't you ashamed to live?" The man smiled lightly.

Andros tried to stand up with great difficulty, his breath breaking.

Andros came back and gave his all. He slashed, stabbed and hit but was unable to hit his opponent.

"Look at you, so pathetic"

"Shut up"

"Like a helpless baby. Your parents must be ashamed to have given birth to you!"

"Shut up!!"

"you can protect the people you love with that kind of ability?"

"SILENCE!!!"

Andros increasingly attacked without the direction of his breath increasingly hunting. The attacks are getting wild.

"For example, can you save your sister who passed out there?" It's easy for the guy to dodge and talk like walking in the park, easy, easy, Ez.

"Hm..She's not your sister like her. Your faces are so different. I've never seen a face like this girl's." The man dodged while scratching his head.

"Ah, or maybe you love this girl?, Hahaha you little boy."

"KUBILANG SILENCE!!" Andros stopped attacking and bowed with a sigh.

"Lho, why stop?. Are you tired?"

"I.. I don't.. I can, ANGRY!" Andros was still down, trying to catch his breath. The man in the straw hat could not see the look on Andros' face.

"What's that empty muzzle?"

"I told you, I can't be angry!!" Andros' voice turned ghastly, Andros raised his head and looked at the man filled with hatred. Andros' eyes turned bright red and the look on his face was terrifying. The man frowned.

The man broke out in cold sweat for a moment because at first glance he felt a very dense killer, filled with hatred, darkness, and great evil. No creature has such a powerful killer.

'i've guessed there's something inside this boy's body' inwardly.
