Chapter 13: The Hellish Overture

** It's five against the world. **


The pillars of lighting were immediately and easily blocked away by the Shinigami's reiattou. Tetsuo jumps back and is kinda shocked by the mere toughness of his opponent. The Shinigami stands still, with a grin on his face.

''Such skinny guy but what kind of power was that?'' Tetsuo thinks to himself.

''I see that you're kinda surprised of my strength, isn't it?'' Says the Shinigami.

Tetsuo remains silence, he instantly djinns zigzagly and at the same time, shooting pillars of lightning strikes out from his palm. The Shinigami dodges them easily without even using djinns. He just move his body smoothly as if he knew he can dodge them all accurately.

Tetsuo then djinns to the front of the Shinigami, the Shinigami immediately swing his reiattou towards Tetsuo. Surprisingly, a short dagger blocks his attack.

Tetsuo is seen holding a glowing blue dagger with his left hand. Just when the Shinigami is about going to say something, Tetsuo attacks him again. This time swinging his dagger towards the Shinigami while blasting out lightning from his right palm. The Shinigami starts to find it's getting harder to dodge Tetsuo's attack and evetually, he djinns away.

''Finally, ya djinns,'' Says Tetsuo, with that serious look that he rarely shows.

''Don't get too excited,'' Answers the Shinigami.

''You thought that my First Tear is in a long range magic type form, but you're wrong. You see, Azoth always come in handy when I'm engaging a close combat with my foe,'' Says Tetsuo as he throws the dagger to the air and then catches it.

''So, Azoth is the name of that filthy little short blade,'' Says the Shinigami, while staring at Tetsuo's dagger.

Tetsuo then throws the dagger towards the Shinigami. While the dagger is still in the air gliding towards him.

''You don't think that kinda low-level attack can harm me? You, my friend, is pathetic!'' Shouts the Shinigami as he dodges the dagger easily.

But then, the dagger turns its back. That short blade he was talking about, went right through his heart.

''What...was... that...'' Says the struggling Shinigami, and he continues, ''Did that piece of worthless short blade just turn its back...?''

Tetsuo remains silence again. Seems like he is tired of talking to the Shinigami. But then, he finally opened up his mouth, ''Azoth is fully under my control. She is created and fused with my reiatsu completely. There ya go, a simple explanation for ya,''

''This is... ridiculous,'' The Shinigami then collapses onto the ground, indicating that he is dead.

On the sky, the five other Shinigamis watches.

''Panos, you bastard,'' Says a male Shinigami angrily, while staring at the ground where the Shinigami has been defeated by Tetsuo, indicating that the deceased Shinigami's name is Panos.

''Tanos, your brother has been defeated by a random guy in this land,'' Says another Shinigami, with an insulting voice.

''Shut up, Strouff. That worthless brother, he is better off dead,'' Says Tanos with an angry face, and then he continues, ''He always sort things out on his own, and his greedy attitude, it disgusts me,''

''Well, I never know you hated your brother that much,'' Says Lute sarcastically.

''What should we do now? I'm getting bored,'' Says Jyuro, and then he sneezes. ''Gosh, and it's seriously cold up here, I can't wait to go down there and kick some asses,''

''We'll just wait,'' Answers Lute with a serious face.

''Okay then, since you're the only woman here, we'll wait,'' Says Strouff, the other Shinigami with an unsatisfying voice.


On the ground, others are still battling their own opponent.

A few blasts of red reiatsu enegry is seen shooting out from a beretta. Lylford is having a hard time against his own opponent, Zigedich Gesell. Lylford djinns around trying to dodge all the shots from Zigedich and at the same time, he fires out arrow from his bow too.

''Weak arrows, they cant do no harm!'' Says Zigedich with an excited face.

''We'll see then... Meteor Shower of Death!' Shouts Lylford as he distant himself from Zigedich.

Zigedich is surprised with that attack. Uncountable numbers of arrows immediately fly towards Zigedich in lightning speed. Zigedich keeps on djinns and dodging those arrows.

At the same time, Lylford djinns to all sorts of directions and blast his arrows in order to make Zigedich trapped.

''Not so fast!'' Shouts Zigedich, then he turns his back and stand facing towards all the arrows flying at him. His beretta is shown generating its own reiatsu power, it starts to glow.

Just when those arrows almost got him, he fires out a gigantic blast of reiatsu with his beretta. Destroying everything in front of him. All the arrows are gone in a blink of an eye. Lylford merely dodges the powerful blast.

Zigedich starts to breath harder after firing that shot.

''Interesting,'' Says Lylford surprisingly.

''That's the uniqueness of Right Hand of Epsilon,'' answers Zigedich.

''I see, but I can also see that it drains away your reiatsu,'' Grins Lylford.

Those words struck Zigedich like a lightning. He knew that now his opponent had learnt about his weakness. That blast drained away almost half of his reiatsu. That blast weaken him.

Lylford immediately moves in and again start shooting arrows towards Zigedich. This time Zigedich struggles to dodge all the arrows. One of the arrow went just a little through the right side of his cheek, and starts to bleed slowly.

Lylford then djinns to the front of Zigedich, and pointing his bow right at the face of Zigedich. Zigedich's face turned from serious to a sudden nervous break down.

''Any last words?'' Says Lylford.

''Yeah...''

''What is it?''

''Go, to, HELL!''

The beretta of Zigedich starts to generate and glow again. This time its even faster. He then lifts his right hand up.

Right at that moment, a huge blast of red reiatsu energy shoots out right from the beretta of Zigedich.
