Single Sword Style - Flowing Wind

*BOOOM!*

Shocked, Ace managed to block the punch with his katana but was flung backwards crashing into a wall.

'Fuck! He is a speed type? What the fuck was that?', Ace thought as he pry himself from the wreckage.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Rockfist bursted out laughing "Where's that confidence now kid!? Seems like you've hit a wall there. Get it? HAHAHA Damn I'm funny!", Rockfist stood there praising himself.

'Damn it! Gotta stop underestimating my enemies', Ace thought to himself as he sheaths his blade. "You're strong indeed, seems like I will have to take you seriously from now on. Don't disappoint me before the fun starts heehee" he chuckled, releasing his inner bloodlust.

Rockfist stared at the man in front of him, goosebumps appearing all over his bodies and his inner instincts screaming to run away.

'What the hell is this pressure? Why am I feeling fear? I have never felt like this ever since Leader took me out out of the clan' Rockfist shivered remembering how similar this was to his past.

"Bastard! What did you do to have this kind of aura?" He roared, "Tell me!"

"Probably killed the right people I guess" Ace answered lazily "alright, since you're not coming, I'll go to you then".

"Single sword style, Flowing Wind", Ace murmured as he places his hand on the hilt of his katana.

Rockfist woke up from his stupor, "Lightning Fist, Chain Thunder". He started moving side to side, forward and backwards raining his fists on Ace.

To his surprise, none of his fist felt like it hit even though he saw it land on the body. Ace moved as he followed the punches like a leaf being blown in the wind, dodging every move at the last moment waiting for the perfect time to strike.

*Shriiing!*

His blade slashed across the body, sending Rockfist stumbling backwards. Rockfist steadied his feet staring at Ace in shock as blood started spraying out of his body.

"You, you, you are those that have heightened senses!" He yelled, trying to stop the bleeding. "You have a tough body, almost couldn't cut through, I guess I'll bury you for making me put so much effort" Ace replied while checking his katana for any damage.

Rockfist fell on his knees as he stared wide eye "you're Ace aren't you, only one man would bury those that he kills without reason" his face pale due to the loss of blood.

"Nahhhh, I have my reasons for doing it, but I'm not gonna tell you since you're gonna die anyway" Ace replied. Immediately after saying that, he dashes past Rockfist lopping off his head.

"Sigh, time to work" as he walked into the room where the Treasurer who was still frozen solid from fear.

"Thank you kind sir for saving me from them, I'll pay you as much as you want" said the Treasurer as he saw Ace approaching him.

"He is not the one I'm after" raising his crossbow at him.

"Wait! I can make you the richest man here, I have money, I can pay you more than whoever employed you can! Please dont kill..." his screams unheard by the falling rain still outside and abruptly stopping as he was shot to the head.

*Tweet! Tweet!*

Birds started chirping as the rain cleared up. People started coming out of their homes to buy groceries for breakfast.

*Knock! Knock! Knock!* "Sir, we have a meeting with the mayor in an hour! Quickly come out! We don't want to be late!" Yelled a man in uniform as he frantically knocked on the door. Looking worried since there was no response he ordered his guards

"Break down the door!".

*Crash*

They stormed in with swords drawn only to see two graveyards in front of them, a pile of bodies at the side and a huge mark of a spade engraved on the wall.

News spread across the city like wildfire, causing panic as the city was put on lockdown to prevent the culprit to escape.

"Phew lucky we got out of there early! Heard the City Treasurer was killed last night, I wouldn't want to be in that city with a killer around" a merchant sighed as he sat on the driver seat of a carriage being pulled by six legged horses. "Hey you back there! You alright!?" The merchant yelled.

"Yeah, thanks for the ride", a man replied sitting in the corner of the carriage with a cloak over him.

"You're welcome! Anything for a generous man like yourself" replied the merchant as he held to a bag of coins smiling to himself.

'What a fucking liar, lucky for him I'm too lazy to do anything', Ace thought to himself. He slowly drifted off to sleep as the carriage rocked along the road.
