The Dark tree, and The Big guy with big muscle

The chapter starts as Kazuya, and Katsu’s enemy gives them a creepy smile, then it opens it arms wipe open. Their enemy is a dark trees 8ft tall.

“What a tree?” Kazuya said with shocked expression, while holding his wind blade in his left hand.

“No wonder, we can’t see him in the dark.” Katsu said, with serious expression, while he on his fighting stance.

“Kazuya, can you still fight?’ Katsu asked, while looking at their enemy.

Hearing those words Kazuya look at Katsu, with shocked expression. Because it’s the first time, he heard that to Katsu.

“I can still, fight. Though I can’t move my right arm.” Kazuya said.

“Then stay here! I’ll take care of this myself!” Katsu said, and then he opened his arm wide, and he run towards their enemy.

“Wait, what?!” Kazuya said, as he see Katsu run towards their enemy.

Katsu run towards their enemy tree with a full speed, as Kazuya watch him. When he was near the tree, the tree swings its arm downwards to Katsu. Their enemy smash Katsu with the ground, when the enemy hit the ground, it releases a big dust.

“Katsu!” Kazuya yells as he sees Katsu getting smash to the ground.

Their enemy smile, and then look at Kazuya.

“Katsu!!! Tsk!” Kazuya talk a step as he talk, he wants to do something, but with an unable to move arm, he can’t do anything.

Suddenly a bunch of a sharp iron pillar come out to the ground that pierced the body, of their enemy. Their enemy immediately back off, while the iron pillar still on its body.

“!!!” Kazuya look at their enemy with confused expression, wondering what happened, then he heard Katsu’s voice.

“I told you. Kazuya. Leave this to me.” After that the dust covering Katsu start to disappear.

“Katsu!” Kazuya said as he sees Katsu, without a single scratch.

“Now to finish this.” Katsu point his right hand at their enemy. “Iron Magic—” When katsu cast his spell, their enemy back off, and it use its hands to remove the iron pillar that were piercing its body.

“Too late.” Katsu clenches his right hand, making the Iron Pillar deep into the body of their enemy, and it makes it hard for their enemy to remove it from its body.

“Iron Spear!” Katsu gets his right hand down, and then his right-hand release Iron, and it from a spear.

Katsu throws the spear at their enemy, when the enemy was about to get hit by the spear, it lets out a loud roar, and the roar deflect the spear, while the iron pillar in its body, come out, and it fly away.

“What?” Kazuya said, as he see the iron pillar heading where he is. Kazuya jump to the side, and then the iron pillar hit the ground. Kazuya immediately stand up, and look at the situation.

When Kazuya stand, he sees Katsu in his fighting stance, while his spear was flouting in his side. “He can control his spell?”

“I admit it. I underestimate you. But now let’s kill each other with all of our might!” After that their enemy run towards Katsu.

Seeing the tree monster run towards katsu, Kazuya choose to force himself to help Katsu. While Katsu took a deep breath, and he prepare for the attack of the tree monster. The tree monster swings its right hand at Katsu, while Katsu swiftly dodges its attack, then Katsu swings it right arm towards the tree monster, and then Katsu’s spear come forth. The tree monster notice what Katsu did. The tree monster catches the spear. “Here, take it back!” The tree monster said as it throws the spear back at Katsu.

“Tsk.” Katsu said, as he quickly moves one of his iron pillars in front of him. “(That was close call.)” Katsu said in his mind.

When the spear hit the iron pillar it gets deflected. Then Katsu control it, and he take it back to his side, while looking at their enemy who looks at him smiling. Then Kazuya gets behind them.

“Katsu! You, okay?” Kazuya asks.

“Huh? Kazuya what are you doing here?! Get back there now!” Katsu said, while looking at Kazuya.

When katsu looks at Kazuya, the tree monster talks the opportunity, and he attacks Katsu. The tree monster extends its hand, and it turns its hand into a sharp arm.

“!!! Katsu!” Kazuya said, as he uses his wind blade to deflects the attack with all might, With the monster tree’s arm wide, Katsu moves his spear towards the monster, and he target the body of the monster tree.

With the monster’s right arm still in the motion of being deflected, Katsu pushes his spear, and when the spear was about to hit the monster’s body, the left hand of the monster grab Katsu’s spear, and stop it from piercing its own body, and then use his right hand stop the spear too.

“This is nothing!!!” The tree monster said. While Katsu was using his both hands to push the spear, while one of his iron pillars was on his back.

“Tsk!” Katsu react, and he push harder.

“It’s no use!!!” The monster tree said.

“I’m sure, you haven’t forgot about me.” Kazuya said, as he appears behind the tree monster with a building up wind on tip of his wind blade, while his left arm is hanging.

When the tree monster hears Kazuya, it panics, and doesn’t know what to do.

“Wind Magic: Wind Spear!” Katsu throws the spear towards the monster tree.

The monster try to push the spear, but it was useless, because by the time, he was able to push the iron spear, he was pierce in the back of his body, by the wind spear. Being stab by a spear in the back, the tree monster gets weaken, and because of that Kazuya was able to push the Iron spear to the body of the tree monster.

“Impossible.”

After getting pierce by a two spear, the tree monster, drop on his knee, and then it’s body through the ground.

“Argh.” Katsu said, ashe drop to his knees, while catching his breath.

Kazuya jump from his wind, and lands on the ground, and went to Katsu.

“Hey, Katsu are you okay?” Kazuya said, while holding his right arm.

Katsu ignores him, and he get up.

*Where Izuki, and Eichi is.”

“Hey! Eichi-san don’t rush thing!” Izuki said, while Eichi is attacking the big guy with big muscle, and face of bird.

Eichi swings her both hands, that was equip with her pink claw.

“That won’t work! Idiot!” The big guy with the head of bird said.

After that the guy with big muscle, use its left hand to bait Eichi to attack it, and it work, Eichi attacks the arm.

“Eichi! Don’t!” Izuki said, and then the guy with big muscle, push his left arm, and it cause Eichi to get interrupt. Then the guy punch Eichi.

Eichi looks at the guy, and she see the fist of the guy, were about to hit her.

“(Oh no!)” Eichi said in her mind.

“Eichi!” Izuki said, as he gets in front of Eichi using his claymore to block the fist of the guy.

The punch was still strong, and it push both of them back. When both of them gets to the ground, Izuki asks— “Are you okay? Eichi-san?”

“I’m fine…” Eichi looks away after responding to Izuki. Then Izuki stands up.

Izuki looks at the guy with big muscle, while Eichi was still in the ground looking at Izuki.

“Eichi-san, stay here. I’ll fight him.” Izuki said, as he hold his claymore with his left hands.

“Do you guys, have a good rest?” The guy with muscle said.

Izuki looks at the guy as he gets on his fighting stance.

“Ohhh, trying to be a hero, huh… I’ll end you.” After that the guy with big muscle, gets on his fighting stance, and then he run, towards Izuki, when the guy with big muscle, take a step, the ground crack.

The guy with big muscle run towards Izuki, to punch him. When Izuki seeing the guy run towards him. He run towards the guy as well, and when they were close to each other, the guy swung his arm at Izuki, Izuki managed to block his attack by using his claymore.

“Are you just going to defeat me by yourself?” The guy with big muscle said.

Izuki ignores him, and the next thing he did, that the guy with big muscle didn’t expect is. When the fist hit Izuki’s claymore, he moves his claymore a bit to the left, and that slight movement of Izuki, made the fist of the guy with big muscle slip, through the claymore, and into the ground.

“!!!” The guy with big muscle said, he feels his fist going down. Then the guy’s fist hit the ground, and then Izuki jump, and twist his body, creating a momentum, Izuki swings his claymore, and he swings it at the head of the guy.

“Haaaaah!!!” Izuki yells as he swings his claymore, at the guy with big muscle’s head.

“Do you really think that kind of move will work on me?”

Izuki hear the voice of the guy, but he didn’t stop, Izuki still swing his sword at the head of the guy with big muscle. When Izuki’s claymore was about to hit the guy’s head, the guy’s head suddenly shrink, and Izuki missed. With Izuki missing, the guy punch Izuki in the stomach.

The punch was so strong, that when the punch land, the shockwave that Izuki receives come out of Izuki’s back, and then Izuki was blown away, and he hit the ground, and he was drag to the ground so fast, and he stop at the side, of Eichi.

“Isogai!” Eichi said, after she check on Izuki, and she noticed that Izuki was unconscious.
