Chapter-35: Fighting Kagetane Hiruko

Chapter-35: Fighting Kagetane Hiruko

————————————————\\\\\\\\\\\\\

3rd POV | Near Tokyo Bay |

Kagetane and Ren faced off on a rooftop building with hostility. Kagetane was in a higher ground together with his "daughter", which was a Mantis-type Initiator based off of the assumption of Ren due to the fact that the "daughter" was holding two small katanas and he somewhat remembered her from watching the anime.

"You are a superior being~! Nothing like those useless human suckers! But why do you protect them?" Kagetane exaggerated his movements like a performer on a stage.

Ren thought over the question, why does he protect these people in the city? First, because he was human himself in the past and secondly, even though he hates these people, there are still some kind ones in the midst.

"Even though I wanted to cleanse this city with blood, But I decided against it at the very last second" Ren said as he crossed his arms.

"Why~?" Kagetane asked in a sing-song tone as he turned his head sideways very unnaturally.

"Because of the children" Ren ultimately decided against his decision of purging the city because of the children both the normal ones and the Cursed Children, they are innocent and are only influenced by their environment.

"Ahh! For such measly reason?! They aren't pure! They are already stained! This world is already dirty!" Kagetane exclaimed as he raised his hands.

"So what you're saying is you only live for destruction?"

"Indeed~! I only exisst for the sake of fighting and destruction! It makes me feel...alive! Hahahahaha!" Kagetane laughed maniacally.

"You're a psychopath through and through huh?" Ren said under his breath as he didn't want to waste any time talking to Kagetane and decided to disable him.

Ren flicked suddenly as sword constructs made out of light appeared floating near beside him. It shot out fast towards the two like streaks of light, a dust smoke was kicked up as the light swords reached their destination.

"My~You sure are impatient Mr. Kato" Kagetane's voice resounded through the dust smoke.

"I have no time for crazies like you" Ren responded quickly and concisely.

He gathered a light sword construct in his hand as he dashed towards Kagetane Hiruko's position.

—Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Muzzle flashes appeared in the dusty smoke, gunshots rang out like thunder.

—Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

Ren in a very swift motion and inhuman reflexes, parried the bullets flying at him, he really did 'parry this' as a casual. The light sword melted the bullets to nothing when it made contact with it.

—Swooosh! Swish! Bang!

Ren's intuition blared as he side-stepped, two slashes came flying at him in an X pattern. He ducked once more as a bullet whizzed by his head. Ren didn't get a rest as another series of slashes were coming.

'Wait! I can use my space manipulation to scan the space around me by using a ripple in space to use it like echolocation and then just teleport to both of them to attack them simultaneously' Ren thought of a plan as his body went on autopilot and either dodged of parried the attacks coming at him.

He focused his Space Manipulation ability onto his foot, he then sent out a ripple through space from his foot. An invisible ripple appeared on the floor of the rooftop, once it hit the positions of Kagetane Hiruko and his Initiator, He instantly teleported above and behind Kagetane.

Ren already was holding his light sword construct beside his head, with one motion, he swung the light sword construct with the intent to behead Kagetane.

—Vhooom! Hum! Hum! Hum!

Before the light sword construct reached Kagetane's neck, it was stopped by something like an invisible forcefield.

"You reached me very fast Mr. Kato! As expected Hehehehe!" Kagetane turned around and he started repulsing Ren with his forcefield.

Ren sunk his feet deep into the concrete floor of the rooftop, slowly creating deep marks on the ground as he slid back.

With Sanael, Ren was able to match the repulsive force and push back at Kagetane. Enough repulsive force from Ren was able to break Kagetane's forcefield.

—Booom! Clash!

The forcefield shattered like glass as Ren's light sword pierced through it. Kagetane was slightly shocked as he raised his akimbo pistols, Spanking Sodomy and Psychedelic Gospel, in an attempt to stop Ren.

—Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Kagetane held the trigger, firing his guns semi-automatically in a burst of gunfire. Alas, Ren was able to defend against it, but Kagetane still has something in his sleeve.

"Haaap! Cut! Cut! Cuuuut!" HeheheHAHAHAHA" Kohina appeared behind Ren, laughing maniacally while trying to slash his head off and trying to stab his heart.

—Whiing!

A barrier appeared behind Ren, He smirked as he made a little reference, "You've activated my trap card!"

Ren ducked down like he was striking from down to up. As expected Kagetane pointed Spanking Sodomy into Ren's direction, trying to stab him using the sabre-like blade protruding from near the barrel.

<>!

Ren smoothly changed his course to a stance of striking from above suddenly. His light sword cutting off the two Varanium arms of Kagetane.

"Papaaa!" Kohina shouted in anger behind Ren.

"Oh...dear" Kagetane muttered as he looked at the wires flapping around in the wind and the electricity exposed, showing that he was more like a machine than human.

Ren clenched his fist as he restrained the space around Kagetane's legs to paralyze him and disable him from running. He also restrained Kohina and took her katanas from her.

"I was trying to raise a devil but it seems i've created an angel that gets in the way" Kagetane said with a mock regret on his tone.

"Yeah, call the guards here, I found Kagetane Hiruko" Ren said through the call.

{No way?! You found him already?} Sajuna's voice came through the call, shocked at the revelation.

"It seems more like he came to me, he'd been watching us since we met up with the Seitenshi"

{So he's a stalker? Glad to know that, we're going there now} Sajuna said as the call cut.
