VS Kuro

"We don't want trouble. We're simply following orders."

"Nope. I don't care."

He is still pinning down one of Satoshi's teammates. While he is talking in them. Said person can't use a spell. Because he sees that if he used one. He will be immediately killed.

"We don't want trouble. Please let us pass."

"No. I don't care what you came here for. You will destroy the balance. As the eye of twilight. It is my duty to preserve the balance of this world."

"Hey. Just let go of him and let us pass. You already killed one of us. If you added a single more. You will regret it." it is Genji who spoke those words.

They do care for somebody who died. But they are trained to prioritize mission than mourning over the dead until the said mission is over. A pretty selfish policy

"Really? A chosen and a demon. How interesting."

"Wha–"

"Yeah. A demon. It's you right? And a chosen that is beside you."

"How'd you know those things."

"It's none of your business of how I've known about that."

"You...."

Both of them emitting strong murderous intent.

"Let go of my teammate... Now."

"No."

Genji dashed at a high speed towards Kuro.

As he is about to land his katana. A golden flash appeared and Kuro vanished.

He let go of his victim that is now stuck on the ground by a web.

"Where'd he go!?"

"I'm here."

Genji looked at the top of a tree and saw Kuro leisurely sitting there.

"Looking for me? Then come here."

"Sure...."

Genji jumped towards him. He swings his sword a few times before arriving at another branch near Kuro.

"You could see those invisible threads, huh?"

"Doing it is easy."

"Well. I know what you will do next. It doesn't matter. This place has so many traps for every possible outcome."

"Possible outcomes?"

"Yes. So you can't defeat me."

"I wonder about that!"

He lunges forward on him. He swung his sword many times again to cut the invisible threads. Then Kuro vanished again.

"Stop playing these tricks!"

Satoshi then teleported beside him.

"Hey, Beastmens are not able to cast spells. We don't know how he could teleport. We should be careful."

"Yeah. And about that possible outcomes?"

"If he could see the future. Then he already knows what will happen. If you still wish to fight us. That means he either wins or he won't be severely harmed in battle."

"What's the matter?"

Kuro is once again on top of another tree adjacent to them.

"I'm asking you to leave now. If you still didn't leave. I will kill everybody."

"I'm sorry, but we had to keep on going."

"So persistent... You leave me no choice then."

Kuro dashed towards them and slashed his dagger to Satoshi. But then Genji stopped it with his katana.

"If you won't leave. Then give me some fun."

"Sure thing. You idiot."

Both of them continued to exchange attacks. Which led them to going far away from the group.

At one point. When Kuro slashed him. He intercepts it with his sword and hit him with the hilt.

Yellow thunders are then produced that shock the surrounding area. Which sent Kuro a few meters away.

"Elemental Discharge. Didn't see that coming?"

"Of course I saw that. I just didn't avoid it."

"Why not?"

"It's none of your business."

Elemental discharge is the release of a warrior's element. Every warrior can do it. They could use their element to coat themselves with it or their weapon. It is also used as attacks.

Sometimes, techniques require certain affinity on an element. For example on Genji. Since the Thunder Dragon technique requires a lightning element to be learned. But people still could learn the techniques but can't use it to its full potential. They could only learn the moves from that certain technique.

"You're good. Outsider."

"Of course."

Beastmens called people that didn't came from their world as Outsiders.

Blades made out of wind flew towards Kuro. But he easily dodges it.

"I know where you're hiding. Magician."

"How about focusing on me!?"

Genji strikes him many times. But Kuro simply brushed them off using his golden dagger.

Genji tried to stab him at an extraordinary speed. But then it failed. As Kuro's black arms on him back can move individually.

Kuro disappears leaving golden flash behind. He then appeared on Genji"s back and he managed to put webs on him, which he wraps him with. And binds him onto a tree.

[I can't move. Satoshi! What are you doing?]

[I'm currently hiding. Don't worry. I'm just thinking of how to defeat him. Because. If he could see the future. He knows what I'm up to. So I must think of a way to defeat him. Even if he knows about it. Something that even if he expected. It's no use fighting against]

[Fine.]

[Also. You could transform onto your demon form now. He knows that you're a demon and I'm a chosen. I'm no use hiding those facts on him. Go ahead and transform now.]

[Got it.]

As he transforms onto his demon form. He is able to break free from the thick web that binds him.

But Kuro is nowhere to be found. They don't know where he is now. Suddenly. A thread strangled Genji binding him against the tree once more.

Damn. We might not be able to win against this person.

He quickly tried to break the thread. But even in his demon form which should have given him immense strength. Can't even break it. But he couldn't cut it either. He starts to lose consciousness despite in demon form.

Then I will electrocute the source.

He touched the seemingly unbreakable thread and sends a powerful surge of current on it. But it doesn't seem to be directly connected to Kuro.

This bastard!

[Satoshi. Help...]

[I know.]

An invisible force then cut the thread.

Satoshi appeared using teleportation.
