Flat-Brim Samurai Chapter 78 - The King's Rule

FWOOSH Apollo walked through the streets of a city, littered with bodies and craters. Blood covered people with rocks crushing them. Apollo was disgusted ,"What the hell is all of this?" He continued to walk towards the power he sensed. It was astronomical, if we weren't wary before, he was now. An ancient evil had run through so many people, without caring, Apollo was starting to get irritated.

Apollo traveled and saw the horrifying sights, until he saw a castle. Once he got inside he went towards the throne room. There, he faced Narphun ,"Did you do that to those people out there?" Narphun squinted ,"It was a natural consequence for my kingdom being born anew again. It's not like they were worth much anyways." Apollo bubbled with anger but quelled it with a sound mind, he could use it as fuel later, but now it was imperative that he kept it in him.

Apollo smiled with fury in his eyes ,"Well if they're worthless, what does that make you?" Narphun replied ,"A king, a ruler, some people call me a usurper." Apollo smirked ,"Then I guess I'll have to tear you from that throne myself." Narphun closed his eyes, stood up and grabbed his lance, Sky Piercer, then opened his eyes back up ,"Then I shall defend my crown." Apollo took his bokken out of his pocket dimension backpack and dashed at Narphun CRASH. He had overlayed a ki blade over his sword so that it was sharp but even then Narphun was strong enough to block the attack. Apollo activated Art: Battle Mode consisting of Memory amplification, Reinforce, Telekinesis and wind BWOOSH.

Apollo exploded in a green energy, and pressed harder but still Narphun looked at him with eyes that saw him as if he were dirt. But he said something unexpected ,"You're strong," Apollo dashed, Narphun tilted his sword Apollo's direction and turned into a blur (SHIT HE'S FAST) Apollo thought, just barely diverting the blow and stepping to the side TINK SWOOSH. Apollo attempted slashing Narphun but missed SWOOSH. Narphun then poked at Apollo but missed, his dodging skills had improved significantly over his training.

Narphuns face didn't change no matter what it was, as they fought inside of this castle it was only Apollo on the tips of his toes. Narphun stepped back just enough to get out of the way of Apollo's sword but missed a Water Wave. He canceled out the wave, in fact it barely scratched his skin. ,"This is what makes you worthy for me to battle." Narphun released his aura, shining silver BWOOMP. His eyes shined like glimmering steel. Apollo sensed that his presence alone could obliterate even humans within the nuclear class. He had incomparable strength but he didn't let it run loose, he only let it go to about 1 centimeter away from him, nothing more or it would be wasted. His control showed discipline.

But Apollo was much like him as well, Narphun took a step and was immediately right in front of Apollo, the lance was right there STICK BWOSH. Apollo looked down at the weapon stuck inside of him ,"I was expecting more from you." Apollo pushed the weapon out and quickly analyzed the ki signature, dispelling the ki in quick succession to heal himself. Apollo backed up and swung his bokken Imbued with Water, sending out Wave after Wave.

Narphun's body created after images, dodging all of the attacks, but now that Apollo went over the memory of his energy, he added Narphun's control into his skillset. His energy condensed harsher than it ever had before. His highly controlled energy strengthened him intensely. When Narphun went in for another attack he was again able to just barely keep up with him, he was at least able to see him again. The speed he had to fight against was a lot, but if he could memorize it, it wouldn't be a problem. Their clashes rang with a unique tone, a tone surprisingly low BOOOOOM. It sounded like a gong was hit each time they crossed swords. Apollo Swung his sword horizontally (I got him) he thought to himself, but Narphun used his forearm, barely tensing at all as he struck the side of the blade. Apollo's sword then pointed upwards whilst Narphun started changing the speeds of his attacks. Narphun noticed Apollo getting used to his intense speed and decided on a more varied approach which proved effective. SLASH SLASH STAB STAB SLASH Apollo was pierced and sliced all over his body ,"This has been fun, but for you, it is your end." Narphun thrusted with his maximum power, TINK, Apollo redirected Sky Piercer with his Water infused bokken. His newly developed Art: Water Propulsion pressurized water, shooting it out from behind his weapon to accelerate the speed and power of his attack.

Narphun backed away, Apollo did the same. Apollo healed himself and looked at Narphun who was glowing brighter and brighter every second, almost blindingly so. Narphun spoke ,"Prepare to face oblivion, heathen. Experience the true power of a king." He opened his arms and his body disappeared amongst the waves.
