Chapter 7 part 5 Death of demons

The strength had grown steady however I was now only slightly improved not enough to achieve anything.

I quickly called to Rameses "What do I need to do next I have just started this level of improvement but it's still not enough."

Rameses seemed to take a while then he said "Okay now focus on your guilt from your past and learn to fade it away too."

I suddenly snapped over the channel "Rameses clear up the instruction I can't figure this out over time explain it to me."

Rameses sighed and said "Look through your memories of true guilt and forgive yourself truly and honestly or you can never progress."

The instruction seemed simple but guilt was not as simple as fear and the first guilt that hit me was Hathor's death.

The memory played over and over in my mind and I could not absolve myself of the guilt.

I had to turn to the next memory and everything that happened with Cleopatra flowed through me over and over again finally in my mind I absolved myself of the guilt and my strength seemed to be overwhelming.

Instantly I noticed my improved speed and my strength however this was not minor the difference was huge I could feel it.

I watched a punch drive down in front of me and climbed up the giant before me, evading his every action and when I reached his face I drove my punch in to his eye and then a huge blow from the second giant smashed me into his face.

I reformed and pulled away but the damage was minimal to the giants suddenly I realized the giants were primal and had no skill making my huge improvement pointless.

The power they employed and speed were fractions of there potential, I called up Rameses several more times and he continued to explain to me how to unlock each Chakra finally I had all 7 open.

The fight had dragged on for almost 2 days and finally I was at the seventh Chakra.

I contacted Rameses and asked what to do and it seemed simple at first I needed to push my strength through all my gates at once and when it exploded out I'd have a huge boost in power.

This time the concentration had helped with nothing, each time I attempted a surge my power built up in lower Chakras and failed in the final Chakra.

Finally I had to turn to Rameses for guidance once more asking "My power won't surge and I don't even feel a budge in my strength doing this."

Rameses calmly replied "If you surge your power into your Chakra the power will explode out of you but if you balance the mix of Chakra and power perfectly you will have a small boost for several minutes with a huge recoil that may take weeks to fix."

The idea was once more pretty simple in theory so I started mixing and balancing my power and strength.

My body had started surging with power and I now was as strong as the giants.

The matching power had only given me equal grounds against the giants strength so I charged in and kicked the giant in the face.

The blow landed and suddenly the giant surged with power slamming me of his body with even greater strength then before.

Damage had been done however the giant was healing rapidly, this was not good.

I looked around the battlefield and found 1 of my blades, I dashed towards it and picked it up.

The 2 giants weren't stronger or faster then me till I struck them so all I needed to do was split them up by somehow forcing then to exchange blows.

I ran between the giants forcing them to punch at me till finally 2 punches were coming at me from both sides and I pushed them apart causing 1 giant to stumble over.

I saw my opportunity and climbed up the giants arm once again and drove my sword into the side of the giants neck pulling it till it severed the spine.

The giant seemed too of balance and stumbled forwards I pulled my sword down as I jumped of the giant and its head detached falling forwards, the small piece of the neck that was still intact held the head on.

I was about to turn to the second giant when I saw the neck pulling the head back into place.

I jumped up and struck the last connection of the neck as the other giant slammed me back to the ground.

I bounced of the ground as fast possible cutting fingers of the giants hand.

The blood boiled and hissed as the lost fingers healed on the giant leaving stubs.

The second hand pummelled me across the ridge once more and the giant charged into me with a fierce rage, I plotted my course of action and sprung into the giant barely evading its strikes and my blade passed through the side of its neck.

I was through however the giant spun on his heals and knocked my sword away.

The giant still had half his head intact and my sword was gone I rushed to get a blade but the giant rampaged and held me back.

I rushed up the giants arm and this time I felt my Chakra start to drain.

My power was fading and I needed it to win, I made a last minute decision and dived into the cut I made pushing the giants head.

The cut started ripping the skin around it and the giants head was just a bit away from being torn off.

My strength had started rapidly falling and in the next instant both myself and the giant had fallen over, the head popped of and rolled.

The fight was finally over however my body was completely exhausted to the point I couldn't move a muscle.

The giants blood started flowing and it felt like fire, my body was still totally motionless in the next second I saw the bright blaze of fire.

The giant head before me suddenly burst into flames and so did the giants blood.

My body was in agony my skin burnt and healed continuously till finally the giants blood had all burnt up.

The light from the sun faded and the ridge was pitch black, hours had passed since I was incapacitated however my strength refused to return.

I had finally given up on waiting for my strength and started concentrating my power however this time my strength felt like a tiny drop of water and my power had grown 3 times the size.

I started concentrating on my Chakra and entered my memories of fear once again this time my consciousness fell into the white space I had been in before and I visited my fears and over came them till nothing was left.

I started clearing my memories of guilt after that however no matter the effort I put in I could not resolve the guilt I felt over Hathor's death, in this space I must have gone over the memory billions of times and finally my consciousness pulled back.

The concentrated strength had started growing like tiny drops and as the quantity grew so did the rate at which my power recovered.

I decided to push my strength into my first Chakra and suddenly my strength started recovering faster the drops sped up faster and faster.

Finally my first Chakra seemed to pool some strength and my muscles started to move.

The strength seemed to be strenuous to use and the strength recovery started to slow, in that moment I opened the second Chakra and my recovery sped up to the point my energy was now flowing back into my body.

I let out a deep breath and started to stir my body was stiff from laying still for so long, the sun had already started to rise and now I could stand. I marched about the battlefield picking up my swords and the sword of the armies General then I looked over at the charred remains of the giant and picked up his sword.

The giants swords were extremely long and unfortunately 1 of the 2 swords had been damaged by the flames.

I started walking back to Hiroshima if all had gone as planned the city would be evacuated.

Even with the city evacuated I suspected that the army would have left a smaller contingent to guard the post.

The walk to Hiroshima would likely take me 4 days without a horse, I had been walking for about half a day when I noticed a horse riding out to me from the path to Hiroshima.

As the horse grew closer I could tell that the rider was Mitiyoshi, the man seemed shocked to see me walking towards him.

Finally Mitiyoshi was right in front of me and said "The scout told us you sacrificed yourself to 2 demon lords so we could evacuate. The commander said any man who could defeat an army alone was a demon lord in his own right. So we all stayed put in Hiroshima."

I gave Mitiyoshi a look that scream how could you and mounted his horse, despite having recovered my strength I felt exhausted and suspected my Chakra needed to be fully activated to recover from the exhaustion.
