Kisuke Uruhara On DXD

Chapter 67

Heavy metal clashes and explosions were heard all over the world submerged in water like blood. Kisuke and Benihime had been fighting for about an hour now and there had yet to be a clear winner from the two.

'It felt like fighting my own doppelganger. I'm better at manipulating energy, but he can always use his sword more flexibly than me.' Kisuke thought to himself as he took a breath to analyze the situation, 'I hate this kind of fight.' He added in his mind.

"What's? Thinking of another way out?" Seenime smiled at him and spoke.

"Isn't that clear? You know that I'm not a fan of this kind of situation." Kisuke refocused on Benihime, "Are you trying to kill me for 'progress' again?"

"Yep~. If only you would use your head to achieve that." Benihime ran towards Kisuke and continued slashing at him.

Kisuke continued to fend off and retaliate against his attack, "Progress. An unclear word. Isn't it time you told me what you wanted?"

After being sent flying by Kisuke's attack, Benihime flipped in the air and re-directed himself and sent waves and waves of red-colored energy to Kisuke trying to drown him with his attack, "You should have known."

Kisuke uses Flash Steps to repeatedly avoid crimson-colored destruction, "The stupidest thing to do is guess what a woman wants."

"You see me as a woman? It's funny." Benihime did not give up even after he landed on the ground.

"It is true that I formed you with my soul, but you are still a separate entity from me. If you take the form of a woman, then you're a woman, as simple as that." Kisuke uses Flash Step to close their distance and the two engage in another sword fight.

"Heh... Fair enough. Since you don't want to guess, let me ask you this. What is most important to you? Of course, this ignores others." The sword dance of Benihime was so graceful that his sword was like any other finger in his hand as opposed to Kisuke's extremely practical sword style which left his opponents in trouble due to his obvious precognition.

"Hmmm... That'll obviously save yourself." Kisuke speaks between their clashes as he thinks and calculates a way to end this battle without putting himself in danger.

"Are you kidding? It only came as a second. You will even use your own body to pursue knowledge." Benihime tried to stab Kisuke in the head with his sword. Kisuke tilted his head to the side to dodge and counterattack but he felt something was wrong.

From the tip of the sword of Benihime, the sickle-shaped dark red colored energy blade suddenly extended. Benihime pulled his sword back and tried to decapitate Kisuke. Kisuke was able to dodge by ducking and flipping forward to levitate the salto kick on Benihime.

Beniime blocked the kick with his arm, but another leg came towards his stomach. He managed to block it with his sword but was sent flying again.

'Just barely! I didn't know he could do that. He really has a few tricks up his sleeve.' Kisuke has cold sweat running down his back, "Benihime-chan, teach me that one. Looks cool and practical."

"Since you've seen it once, you can learn it yourself." Benihime landed gracefully in the distance and did not continue to attack.

Kisuke smiled and said, "You're right."

"As you say, you molded me with your soul and I inherited that trait from you. But instead of knowledge, I just want the next level." Seenime also did not move and just spoke.

"so. But you know that I won't be able to accomplish that alone." Kisuke was already convinced by the desire he so desperately wanted.

"Fufu~. I'm helping you right now. By pushing you to the brink of death, you might be able to show it to me." Benihime slowly walked towards Kisuke.

Kisuke's mouth twitched and asked, "I really need your help for that, but don't you have any other way? And besides, if you manage to kill me, then you too will perish."

Benihime nodded in agreement, "Right if I kill you, I will also disappear. But like I just said, I like you and just put my self-defense in second. If you can take out my 'True Blade' with this, then I will be happy. Although if you fail and die, I can only call it unlucky. And I have no other way but to do this. You're not actively pursuing it."

Kisuke laughed mockingly, "How radical is it." And readying his sword for another clash.

"Are you sure you still want to waste time?" Benihime slowly accelerated his pace turning it into a run.

"What do you mean?" Kisuke's expression turned serious as a bad premonition overpowered him.

"When we fight, your 'Hollow' also goes berserk." Benihime was only 15 meters away from Kisuke now, "Your precious cat is already battered enough."

When Kisuke heard this, his mind went blank for a moment and an unquenchable anger filled him. Kisuke did not say anything more and used Flash Step to close the distance between him and Benihime. Benihime had already guessed that Kisuke would lose his composure on that statement so that Benihime slashed his sword even before Kisuke appeared in front of him.

But what he did not expect was that Kisuke did not attempt to dodge and let the sword of Benihime slash his right shoulder all the way to his solar plexus. Due to this unexpected result, Benihime was silent for a moment, but that moment was enough for Kisuke to pierce through his heart.

Benihime stared at 'Benihime' which pierced him with a complicated expression, "You have changed. To think that you would risk your life just because someone else was in danger of being killed. I didn't expect this to come from someone as heartless as you" Benihime said

"This is a good change. I don't regret anything." Kisuke replied with a calm smile.

Benihime also smiled at him and closed his eyes, "Is that so? To be honest, I'm jealous."

"You don't have to do it. You will be connected to me forever even if you want to or not." Kisuke replied.

"You have a point." At this moment, Benihime slowly turned into ashes starting from his feet. "Remember this, if you don't actively reach that state, I won't stop doing this. At least propose a plan for me." Before he completely disappeared, he left behind such words.

'I have to speed up my research on the Sacred Gear.' Kisuke had such thoughts before the entire world collapsed and he returned to his body.
