Chapter 52 - Chapter 52 - Fighter

"I don't know where you are.. Wu Ming.

According to Ryujiro-San's mood.. I can tell that you left The Revoryution.

We grew up together. We became strong together. But if you're really on the other side.. Then I have to find you and beat your ass.

And for that.. I have to pass through this barrier first. I'm Zhang Liang of The Revoryution!"

"My name.. is Leone Romano. You look serious and calm. I guess you're the type I wanted as an opponent.

People here call me the best physical fighter. Although I don't accept that big of a compliment.

We'll fight now.. to see who's the best fighter.

Good luck, Mr. Zhang Liang!"

Zhang Liang and Leone Romano walk towards each other. Slowly taking out their swords.

Ryujiro: "I have to accept. You've chosen perfect opponents according to us. Except you of course, son of a bitch."

Victor smiles: "We'll see who that is.. Kid."

Zhang and Leone come close. Bow down.

And clash with their swords.

"That Italian sword.. It looks dangerous and more powerful than my katana. I have to be cautious about that."

Leone pushes Zhang back and swings his heavy sword towards him.

"Ugghhhh!!" That's too much!"

Zhang blocks the attack but struggles a lot while clashing with it.

Leone leg sweeps Zhang which makes him fall on his knees.

"This guy.. he's too strong!"

Ryujiro: "You just need more focus and tactics, Zhang!"

Zhang: "Ryujiro-San.. I can work with tactics. But not the ones which make me cheat in the fight by any chance. I'm a proud warrior. Not a coward."

He stands up and gets in position.

"Come.. Mr. Leone Romano!"

Leone tries to cut Zhang's head but he puts his katana vertically right where the aim was.

He then kicks Leone in the stomach and delivers elbows, fists and forearms to his face.

Dusty: "You sure have a lot of strong guys in your team, Ryujiro Kurogane. The other guy's face is bleeding a lot."

Ryujiro: "I trust Zhang Liang.. He has never let me down."

Dusty: "Now I realise that you're not actually a bad guy. I can call you my comrade at least. Don't expect me to call you captain or some bullshit."

Ryujiro: "Don't worry. Nobody calls me that here."

Leone finally regains his strength and starts punching Zhang Liang's face furiously.

Then he goes for a hit with the sword but Zhang blocks.

"Not that easy!"

Zhang pushes him away and lands a blow on his chest.

Zhang: "Huhh!! Finally something."

Leone touches his chest and sees the blood dripping slowly.

Leone: "I didn't wear my armour.."

Zhang: "Neither did I."

Leone: "No, I'm not complaining. I'm just happy. That I finally get a worthy opponent.

As I stand here now.. You're the only enemy who has ever wounded me this bad."

Leone takes off his suit jacket and shirt. Exposing the wound on his chest.

"Come! Try to kill me if you can!"

Zhang Liang swings his blade but gets blocked.

Leone had a psycopathic smile on his face.

He pushes Zhang Liang and delivers a back kick on his stomach.

Then a jumping knee at the same area.

Zhang Liang coughs blood and loses his control over himself.

"Th-.. That kick and knee were.. like bricks!"

Leone punches Zhang's face and he falls back.

Leone kicks him continuously until he reaches to Ryujiro, lying on the ground.

"Ryu..jiro-san."

Ryujiro sits down in front of him with a cold face.

"Don't say anything.. I know. Your sword is weaker than his.

Here.. Take this. I trust you.

Go.. and do it. Make me proud like you always do.

My greatest member.. Zhang Liang!"

Ryujiro hands over his Kurogane to Zhang Liang.

Zhang takes it.. and slowly stands up.

"You entrusted me this.. Your precious sword for this battle. I'll make sure to do everything I can!"

Regaining his strength. Zhang screams and slowly walks towards Leone Romano.

"You're.. finished now!!!"

He slowly turns his walking into running.

And clashes with Leone.

Leone was afraid by the confidence Zhang Liang had.

"Th-.. This guy. What happened to him!?"

Zhang pushes him back and delivers a jumping knee to his face.

Leone regains his composure and clashes again. But he gets pushed again.

"What the hell is that strength!? And that sword!! Is he really... The.. The best physical fighter!?"

Zhang hits another knee to Leone's face.

He loses control over himself.

Zhang Liang kicks his hand and makes the sword fall down.

And in that slight moment. Zhang Liang cuts off Leone's head.

Dusty: "His... His head. Got cut and.. fell on the ground?"

Zhang Liang: "Huhh... You were such a great fighter."

He bows down. And walks back to the team, slowly. Injured.

Returns Ryujiro's Kurogane.

"Thank you.. Ryujiro-San."

And goes unconscious.

Zhang Liang VS Leone Romano.

Winner: Zhang Liang.
