Musashi The Manslayer

They look at the man.

"hey he's on a wanted poster at our guild hall," said Cyrus.

"wait for real," said Rize.

"yeah Mushashi The Manslayer he a notorious serial killer," said Cyrus.

"I only see are a bunch of brats," said Mushashi.

John grabs Kusanagi with his right hand.

"hey now don't do anything stupid now," said Rize.

"it's alright I don't plan to take revenge on my father he has killed many people best way for those to get justice is he captured and put away for his crimes," said John.

"you must be the Ripply guy son should count yourself lucky to not be there," said Mushashi.

"If I was there he probably be alive still but that fate I guess I'll make sure put away and sentenced to life in prison for those you wrong," said John.

"strong words from a kid but I have to admit that Ripply guy was a tough one to kill," said Mushashi. John just gets his sword ready. "fine then it you're death wish." Mushashi then draws one of the swords he had it was red with a black flame on the blade. John then goes for a slash at Mushashi. Mushashi tries to parry John but John then keeps up the attack and knocks Mushashi back into a bookcase. Mushashi tries to counter but John lunges at him and keeps up the offense which makes Mushashi keeps a defensive stance.

"holy crap John just make sure he doesn't make a move." Rize thinks. Mushashi then goes for a slash but John jumps up to dodge and stands midair and goes for a slash which makes Mushashi fall on his bottom.

"amazing if this was a contest John would just win so it's true John has already surpassed Jack as a swordsman." Cyrus thinks.

"Surrender now I beaten you in the way of the sword," said John. Mushashi then grabs some dirt on the floor with his left hand.

"Sorry kid," said Mushashi as he threw the dirt he had into John's eyes. John grabs his face with his left hand.

"watch out John!" yelled Rize. Mushashi starts slashing at John who tries to defend but ends up taking a few cuts. Rize then interferes which makes Mushashi jump back.

"hey John you alright?" asked Rize.

"yeah just give me a minute," said John. He tries to get up but falls back down to one knee.

"hey," said Rize he looks at John.

"damn that last attack got to him good." Cyrus thinks. John then gets up.

"I can still fight," said John wiping the dirt out of his eyes.

"fine," said Rize who then stands back.

"so you ready sport," said Mushashi.

"yeah ready as I will ever be," said John. John gets ready with his sword. Mushashi then draws another sword out which was green and looked like a fang in his left hand. Rize was starting to feel uneasy sensing danger from that sword he drew.

"what up with that blade." Rize thinks. Mushashi then lunges with that sword and Rize blocks it and gets a cut on his back from it.

"hey what was that for?" asked John.

"watch out for that sword it smells funky," said Rize who starts feeling weak and falls to the ground.

"What a fool he knew this blade is poison oh well he dies soon maybe being a demon will help him live longer," said Mushashi.

"bastard," said John. Who gets ready to attack. the wind starts to blow in the library scrolls start flying off the shelf. "he's my best friend and you mock him for looking out for someone." said John in anger. John's Kusanagi starts to glow.

"huh what going on?" questioned Cyrus. Kusanagi changes into a golden color in the blade and a transparent green angel wing appears behind him on the right.

"Could this be when Rize fought Drazel could Kusanagi evolve past master rank too," said Cyrus.

"This is Kusangi Musamune." said John. John then slashes down. Mushashi then sees his poison sword cut into pieces in seconds.

"What impossible," said Mushashi who seems surprised.

"looks like you lost to a bunch of kids huh," said Rize laughing on the floor.

"will see," said Mushashi. John then gets ready for another attack but in a second Mushashi unleashed a flurry of an attack which gives John more cuts deeper than before.

"DAMN!" yelled John, before he falls to the floor bleeding out Kusanagi, goes back to normal. "if only I had more strength." Mushashi then steps on his head with his right foot.

"well you would have got me but guess luck is not on your side, in the end, you died like your father boy," said Mushashi. Rize then stumbles to get up but gets to his feet. Mushashi then grabs the Ripple Cutter. "well a good replacement for the poison sword a sword that can kill demons with ease."

"I can still fight," said John who gets up with Kusanagi.

"John doesn't move your badly injured you could die," said Cyrus panicked.

"I have to fight I must protect my family's treasure," said John. Rize looks at him. John tries to move forward with blood dripping to the floor.

"hey John," said Rize. Who walks over to him.

"what Rize?…" asked John before Rize slammed his right fist into John's stomach which knocks him out. "leave to me I will get the sword."

"hey you think that was too much," said Cyrus.

"get him out of here," said Rize.

"right," said Cyrus.

"you two go with him too," said Rize. Excalibur and Ragnarok turn into their human forms.

"what you we go…." said Alexis before Rize glares at her which tells her to listen. "fine then let's go Anna."

"be careful Rize okay," said Anna.

"Just make sure he okay alright Anna," said Rize.

"so you going to be the hero," said Mushashi. Cyrus with help of Anna and Alexis helps John out of the room. Rize then tries to step forward but coughs up blood in his right hand.

"waste of time," said Mushashi who walked past him going to the door. He then sees a blue energy blast go past his head that destroys the top of the door and caves it in making their trap inside the room. "what?" he questioned. Mushashi looks at Rize who fired the blast.

"no way you're just going leave you're personal ass beating," said Rize.

"Why you little bastard I'll kill you," said Mushashi who was furious.

"now then I'll make sure you pay for what you did," said Rize. Black marks appear on Rize's face who activated Lord's Will. "and I'm no Hero I'm a Devil."
