The Wandering Swordsman

(Jason's POV)

I looked at Igora as I felt several auras being released around me. 

"What the..." I said as I readied a stance, "What're you talking about?!"

Karameel looked at Igora who stepped in front of her, moving her out the way, "I-Igora!" She exclaimed, "What're you doing?!" 

Igora looked at me, "You." She told me, "Wielder of Martial Arts Magic, are you aware of what power you wield?" 

I frowned, "No clue what you're on about." I said, "I didn't come here for a fight, but if you lot insist, I guarantee you, It will not end well." 

She smirked, "A fight?" she said, "Like you will give us any fight.....Oga!!" 

I then immediately jumped away as a massive red fist struck down where I landed, causing a massive shockwave. 

"Whoa..." I said as I looked at Oga who was glaring at me

"Oga, stop it!" Karameel exclaimed

As I landed, I was struck by an object that sent me staggering. 

I turned to see a massive humanoid mantis creature come out of the shadows. It was dark green, it's face had several blue eyes and his arms were sharp mantis claws. 

It began to hiss as it lunged at me. 

Instinctively, I dodged it's claw as I counted with a right punch to its chest, sending it flying. 

"Stop this now." I said as I watched the demon hit a tree

I then saw as Igora was already next to me, swinging her kanobo. I raised my arm to block the club, causing a massive shockwave that shattered the earth. 

I felt my entire body shake due to the impact but other than that, it was nothing. 

She frowned, "You're strong." She said, "I've fought several wielders of those magic, champions of That Bastard. They weren't as physically strong as you are." 

I looked at her, "What are you on about??" 

I then saw as two figures flew at me. I was then hit by something as I reeled back. 

I saw as a medium-sized demon land next to Igora, it's lower half being a black spider as it's upper half was a six-armed humanoid. Its face was that of a young woman with sharp teeth, her hair being covered in green flames. 

Next to her was a humanoid demon that was covered in a cloak, its arms being several snakes. 

"What the hell is this...?" I said as I readied a stance, "Listen, I don't intend on fighting any of you, if we can just talk it out..." 

Igora scowled, "No. My kind has gone through enough talking with your lot." she said, "Oga, make sure he doesn't escape." 

I saw as the massive demon looked at me as it snorted viciously. 

"Listen." I said, "I don't know what happeened between you and that guy, whoever he is..." 

"Like you don't know." She said, "You-"

"STOP!!" I heard a bellowing voice come from above

I looked up to see a humanoid demon with red bat-wings on his back, flapping as he was kept afloat. Its body was dark blue and stony, it was holding a spear on his arms. It had two brown human eyes as they looked at us. 

"Sora." Igora said, "What is it?" 

The demon looked at me, "Leave this one alone. He isn't a threat!" He said, "Karameel, I received word from the Port Town, the warrior you spoke of, the one after your master...." 

I looked at Karameel who widened her eyes in surprise, "You mean..." She started, "N-No....he's here?? The one after Lord Mercphobia's..." 

Igora also widened his eyes, "What? Sora!" She said, "You mean to tell me that a Dragon Slayer is here?!?"

What are they talking about? A Dragon Slayer?

I looked at the flying demon as it nodded, "Yes!" He said, "The Wandering Swordsman! He's here!" 

I then saw a demon appear from the bushes, "Igora!!" the demon squealed

Igora looked at it, it was a short female humanoid demon who had goat legs and a single horn on her head. 

"T-The Wandering Swordsman!!" She squealed, "He's here! He cut down several of our fighters!!" 

"What?!?!" Igora bellowed

Suddenly, I felt an intense magic power coming from the trees. It felt like a massive pressure hitting me. 

The Demons also felt it as they buckled slightly. I heard as Oga lowly rumbled. I turned to see him wincing in pain, clutching one of his arms. 

"No." Igora said, "Now's not the time for him." 

I then saw the flying demon get cut, blood spewing out of his shoulder and chest as he fell to the ground, hitting it hard. 

"No!" I heard Karameel yell

From the trees, I saw as a figure appear. 

I widened my eyes, "You..." I said as I felt an anxiety fill my body

Standing in front of me and Igora, Suzaku stood, his hand on his katana as he gave me a serious expression. 

"Suzaku!" I said as I clenched my fists

Suzaku, The Vermillion Dragon. The man who humiliated me not once but twice, in the past. Almost killed me on both occasions. If it wasn't for Irene, I would've definitely died on the second encounter.

What the hell is he doing here? 

"Oh?" Suzaku said as his expression changed to a somewhat surprised one, "It's thou...." 

Before I could say anything else, I saw that Oga had lunged at Suzaku, letting out a massive roar. He swung his massive arms at the Dragon Eater. 

Suddenly, Oga's arm exploded with blood as it came clean off and fell to the ground. I watched as Oga clutched the open wound with his other arm as it violently shrieked in pain, throwing himself on the ground away from us as he rolled around, crying in pain. 

"Oga!!!" I heard Igora say, "What the hell?!"

I saw what happened. Suzaku immediately drew his sword and cut Oga's arms in half. All this in a single second, without much difficulty. 

He was not a joke. 

"Thou is the Ifrit Demon that Silver hath mentioned.." Suzaku said, "The massive demon he cut in half and destroyed its lower half. It is mine surprise you still live. The Ifrit do have tremendous life force..." 

Igora then readied her club, "You bastard!!!" She growled

I stepped in front of her and I raised my arm, "Hold it!" I told her as Suzaku looked at me, "Don't attack him!" 

"What?!" She said

"Smart." Suzaku said, "Thou would suffer the same fate as the big one." 

Igora growled, "Oh, you think so?" She said, "How about I..." 

"No." I said seriously, "Back off. He's mine." 

"What?" Igora said

"Jason!" I heard Karameel exclaim, "What are you doing?!" 

I heard the static from the badge, "Sir." I heard Felicity say, "Do you require me to bring the ship towards you?"

I shook my head, "No, Felicity." I said, "I can handle things on my own." 

"Very well." She said, "I'll be on stand-by." 

"Does thou intend to fight?" Suzaku said, "Last time did no go so well for thou. Thine life was nearly lost." 

I smirked as I began to crack my knuckles, "Oh, buddy." I said as I released an aura, "You got no idea how much has changed since then." 

"I'm gonna beat you to a pulp."
