Munding - Legend of the Wolf Fighter

Chapter 216 - Iai

Munding and Ardian didn't see what happened to Ridwan. The three of them ran in different directions. They also do not know that at about the same time, Mia was killed at the hands of Titis, while Arya was being tortured by the General.

Ardian used all his abilities to run as fast as lightning. Perhaps this was the first time he had forced his abilities upon an ordinary human for the purpose of running.

Hikari calmly flicked his katana aside to throw away the blood marks that were on the blade of the sword. After that, just like earlier, he placed it on his shoulders then looked towards Ardian and Munding.

“Save the best to enjoy most recently,” muttered Hikari with a smile.

Shortly after, the shadow of the Samurai disappeared again, darting towards his prey.

Ardian suddenly sensed that something extremely dangerous was approaching him with incredible speed. Ardian then quickly jumped to the side as it followed his instincts.

A scratch from the saber suddenly appeared above the ground where he had just stood. Cold sweat came out from Ardian's back.

“Sial! I almost got it earlier,” lamented in the heart with a thumping chest.

Ardian looked around. He was in an unkempt wasteland a few hundred meters from the Pantura road where they had ambushed Yasin and Nia. This empty field contains tall grasses that have never been cut and only two groves of banana trees are seen near Ardian.

Then, Ardian saw it.

The Samurai who walked slowly and sheathed his sword back. He held the sword with his left hand and used his right hand to light the cigarette on his lips.

The Samurai casually exhaled the cigarette smoke into the air with a peaceful expression. It was as if he was enjoying the scenery in a tourist spot.

“Why is he chasing me?” ask Ardian inwardly.

The Samurai who was now only a few meters away from Ardian stopped his steps. He looked at Ardian and smiled.

“I'm sorry, I have absolutely no grudges or problems with you. It's all just a job,” Hikari said slowly towards Ardian.

Question marks sprung up on Ardian's face, he was confused by the meaning of the words with foreign language from the mouth of the Samurai who was in front of him. But, Ardian again felt a strong sense of danger and pointed towards his neck. The sensation of danger he also felt while fleeing earlier.

Ardian quickly lowered his head forward.

Craassssss.

A few strands of Ardian's hair were flying because of Hikari's extremely fast katana slash. Even Ardian could not see at all when the Samurai drew his sword out and swung it. Ardian also still saw that in the right hand fingers of his enemy, not a sword but a cigarette that was clutched there.

“Must be! With this kind of ability, are they still human?” ardian.

“Hohohohohoho. Your instincts are great. What's your name?” ask Hikari.

“Ardian,” reply Ardian short.

“Ardian-kun, my name is Hikari Makoto. I am proud to meet a warrior like you,” Hikari said as she bowed her body towards Ardian.

“Why would a manifestation fighter like you hunt us down? We are nothing more than an insect in your eyes,” Ardian replied with a breath of breath.

“As I said earlier Ardian-kun. It's a job, not a personal one. And we all work because of the money or certain benefits we receive,” replied Hikari.

Ardian can only curse in the heart. He couldn't reply to Hikari's words, didn't he also do this all because of work? Maybe only that stupid militant joined the Red and White team without pay.

“If you can avoid my sword attack three times, I will release you,” Hikari said as she exhaled cigarette smoke from her mouth.

Ardian.

He knows how much the queen does that. Hikari was a manifestation fighter, his movement speed was incredible. He was able to launch an attack and Ardian did not see any movement of his hands or body. Ardian was not sure if he would be able to evade Hikari's attacks three times in a row.

“I will not survive. I know that,” replied Ardian after thinking for a while.

“Hmmmmm,” Hikari is seen thinking and holding her cigarette between the fingers of her right hand.

He opened his straw hat and then wagged the hat, making the hat into a fan alakadarnya to reduce the scorching heat stinging in the path of this pantura.

After being silent and thinking for a while, Hikari finally nodded her head and smiled towards Ardian, “oke, twice. You tried twice,” said Hikari.

Ardian sighed, “though it was so small. But at least I have a chance to save myself,” muttered Ardian.

“How's Ardian-kun?” ask Hikari.

“I received it,” replied Ardian.

“Good!! Do your best!” hikari said and she smiled broadly.

Hikari then smoked her cigarette and left it on her lips. He lowered his body slowly and pushed his right leg forward and then pulled his left leg back.

Hikari lowered her right hand slowly then opened her palm. His hand moved very slowly with great concentration and moved towards the handle of the katana sword he was holding with his left hand.

Hikari is an heir to a kendo school that focuses more on the art of quick-draw or iaijutsu. Iaijutsu or often called battojutsu is a movement to pull katana quickly from the scabbard and directly use it to execute the enemy.

So, the fight would end in just one move. Pulling the sword from the scabbard while simultaneously launching an attack towards the enemy. All of these movements are done quickly and accurately. The results of years of training from its flow.

Ardian who was lay with kendo martial arts had no idea that he had just given Hikari the opportunity to use her strongest attack.

Ardian mounted the horses and prepared his entire muscles to move quickly according to his instinctual whispers. He closed his eyes and did not want to look at his enemy. Ardian really wanted to rely on his instincts to survive this time.

Hikari smiled as she saw Ardian close his eyes. For fighters who rely on instinct, sometimes the sense of sight will actually interfere. What Ardian did was the right decision.

And suddenly.

Crassss.

Arghhhhhhhh.

Ardian rolled over on the ground while holding his left leg which had just been hit by a Hikari katana sabetration wound. He screamed in pain because of the injury. Wide gaping wounds and blood spewing loudly.

For a moment now, Ardian had indeed sensed the danger signal coming and moved to the right to avoid it, and he had tried to do that without thinking at all. But still he was still too late to avoid Hikari's katana completely.
