Chapter 21 - Battle ~ 3

"Someone break through Dimensional Prison?"

Cross's body trembled in fear as he realised his technique was being shattered into pieces. He turned his head at the corner of the battlefield where Yukka was imprisoned.

A sword sliced the black sphere into two halves and the upper half slid down, claimed by gravity.

"Who is it?! No one can break through it until I myself cancel it!"

Cross said loudly, wanting to believe that what his instincts were telling him was wrong.

A sword sliced the black sphere, sending its upper half sliding away. Yukka came out of the sphere and hit the earth, falling onto it. It was like someone threw Yukka out of the sphere, thinking she was a pebble.

"What?! I'm sure she was alone inside there," Cross was stunned as he saw Yukka coming out of the sphere injured. He was afraid that there was a second person inside the sphere.

But he was sure that Yukka was alone when he imprisoned him.

Suddenly, Cross's eyes widened as he saw a large monster-like being jumping out of the spear. He had a sword in his hand and a wheel floating on his head. Wings were protruding from each of his each eyes socket, instead of eyes.

It was Divine General Mahoraga, a ten shadow shingami with the sword of extermination in hand.

Mahoraga was successful in breaking through Dimensional Prison as he adapted to the space around him. This was his more terrifying technique.

Mahoraga stared at the battlefield for a moment like he was looking at the insects fighting for food.

Then, it came. His sword cleaved through the air, aiming to kill Yukka who summoned him. Yukka was unable to tame Mahoraga as the summoner must defeat Mahoraga to defeat him.

In the entire history, only Sukuna was able to achieve this feat

It was like Yukka's journey in his life came to an end before someone interfered in the battle, blocking Mahoraga's sword with his own.

Crack started to appear beneath Ronnie's foot as pressure remained increasing on him from Mahoraga's sword.

'So, it's Mahoraga of the Zenin Clan. His strength is completely different from what was written in books.'

Ronnie thought as he started to realise that his sword would break soon if he continued in this position.

"Sword Rotation: 30 rounds!"

He chanted the sword technique and instantly time slowed to his perception. He revolved his sword around the blade of Mahoraga's sword, round by round until 30 round completed.

As 30 round completed, his sword's blade was near Mahoraga's hand in which he gripped the handle of the sword.

Slash!

One-thirteith part of a second— it was the total time passed when Mahoraga's hand struck the ground, after being sliced off his arm. Multiple cracks burst across the blade of Mahoraga's sword.

Sword Rotation is a special-grade art in which the rotation of the sword can block any kind of force, killing the enemy instantly. This technique was created by Ronnie and till now, 30 round was highest of sword rotation.

But this technique was only able to cut the hand of Mahoraga, which he soon was going to heal with the reversed curse technique.

Ronnie knew if Mahoraga attacked him once again like before, his sword would break instantly.

And if Ronnie avoids Mahoraga, he will kill everyone here including Yukka.

So instead of giving the enemy the first move, he struck Mahoraga without second thought.

Ronnie had the upper hand in only one thing— speed. He used his speed and managed to place multiple deep cuts on Mahoraga's body but after a second, they healed immediately.

'I need to think of something better, my stamina is running down. I can't also use 30 round sword rotation technique again.'

Ronnie's mind was running at the same speed as his legs.

Suddenly, the wheel above Mahoraga's head rotates a complete rotation.

All wounds on his body healed instantly. Every new wound on his body was now healing at instant wound got created.

'It happened! He adapted to my simple cuts and if this continues, I'm dead for sure!"

Ronnie thought as fear of death slowly made its way to his heart. If the wheel rotates one more time, Mahoraga will also adapt to his superfast speed.

"Hey, Wanna play somewhere else? Follow me!"

Ronnie paused for a moment and shouted loudly to Mahoraga before running toward the Simurians. He thought that if he was destined to die, then his death should not go in vain.

'Before me, these Simurians will die!' He thought as he continued to sprint towards Simurians.

Mahoraga had already placed Ronnie in the category of enemy. So he followed him until they reached the remaining Simurians who were still alive.

"Sir! Yukka Okkotsu has summoned Mahoraga to the battlefield and special grade sorcerer Ronnie is fighting him."

One of the employees sitting before a large screen shouted toward Usami who stood behind.

Hearing his words, Usami hurried and came near the monitor that especially showed the Mahoraga following behind Ronnie.

"Why would she summon this monster?! We aren't in a situation to handle him."

Usami said, his voice filled with regret and sadness. They were already panicked by the sudden attack from Simurians and now this Mahoraga.

Mahoraga wasn't useful to either the Simurians or humans at this time.

"What's the status from our side?"

Usami asked and another employee replied to him after clicking a few buttons on the holographic keyboard.

"Hojo and Dabura are both unconscious. In the city, more than half of the Simurians and 30% of our sorcerers are dead. All the special grade sorcerers are still alive and fighting. Yukka is also injured and unconscious. Tsurugi and Simurian Maru are fighting with Maru suddenly suppressing Tsurugi in the battle. As of Mahoraga, he's still following behind Ronnie, causing more and more destruction to both sides."

"We aren't actually in the worst situation but to think that Mahoraga would ruin everything!!"

Usami hit the computer screen with his fist in anger but there wasn't nothing more than tiny cracks on it. Of course, it wasn't curse energy enhanced.

*****

A man was staring at the ongoing battle between Simurians and humans from the roof of a long building.

He stood with no fear, his face full of scars. He wore a hoodie with his hands tucked in his pockets.

"Sensei, should I go and help them?"
