Chapter 12: My First Human Kill

One down

7 more

"How the hell did he..." one of the guys asked.

"That's an F-Rank swordsman," the other guy said.

"What's your name kid?" the leader asked.

"I don't have to give out my name," Tahara replied.

"My name is Shiro Jou,

Rank E"

"That's better!" Tahara said.

"I'm Tahara, Tahara Kado."

As soon as Tahara mentioned his name, Shiro dropped his sword.

"What's going on?" Tahara asked.

"OMG!"

"That name!" Shiro said as he looked at Tahara.

Tears began to flow from Shirou's eyes as he had this flashback.

[Flashback]

"I want you to kill everyone carrying the name Kado. I'm sure there are still some out there. Got it There's a little price for you when you return."

[Flashback ends]

"I had no intention of killing you but because of your name...

I swear I'm going to kill you and your friends and after that I get that price!"

The leader picked up his sword as he ordered his men to kill Tahara.

"I have no other option," Tahara said.

"You are going to kill me, and my friends," Tahara said and with this, the aura around him suddenly changed as Miyaguchi, Juba, and Samon were forced to go back.

The place around Tahara became dusty as Shirou and his guys couldn't see

[Inventory]

[Cloak of Mordor]

Soon, the cloak came and covered Tahara's dress and had a hood.

"The aura around him is strong Shirou," one of the guys said to him.

"Don't let your guard down boys," Shirou ordered.

"There's a price waiting for us," he said.

"Nishi, attack Tahara!" the leader ordered.

Nishi then used his magic to cast an electric bow and fired it at Tahara.

The bow hit Tahara as he went flying.

"That was an excellent hit Nishi," Shirou said.

"My pleasure boss!" he replied.

Tahara then got up from his feet as Shirou and the others were shocked.

How can an F-Rank swordsman survive a direct hit from an E-Rank magic user?

"Nishi, try that again" Shirou ordered.

Nishi used his electric bow again and fired it at Shirou but this time Tahara caught it with his bare hands.

"Your magic is futile!" Tahara said as he run towards him and cut off both of his hands.

[Note: The poison can only work when Tahara uses both swords at the same time]

"I'll save you for the last," Tahara told Nishi as he kicked him in the gut.

Wow!

Incredible speed!

Two of Shirou's men then came run from the left and right but then, his other swords appeared on his right hand and he used them to block their attack.

"An F-Rank with dual swords!

That's Impossible!"

Tahara then looked at them and used his swords to stab their necks.

The two guys then laughed telling Tahara that they aren't dead yet.

But then, the moment they could raise their swords, the poison had activated on them.

"What's happening to my body?" one of the guys asked as he started to bleed from her mouth, eyes, and ears.

<<Poison Activated>>

"That's poison!" Tahara explained as he left them.

"So quick!" Juba said.

"I'm not on par with his level," she continued.

Three of Shirou's men then raced toward Tahara from three different sides, the front, behind, and the left.

"The one in front will attack first before the one on my left will follow. Which means..."

Tahara then raced towards the guy in front and cut off his head.

He then used the guy on the left as a blockade as his teammate stabbed him.

As soon as he stabbed him, Asahi cut off his neck.

Shirou then stood there relentlessly.

All my men have been killed, by an F-Rank Swordsman. I need to hurry and report this to the master.

Boost

And with that, Shirou's shield appeared.

"I'm going to kill you, Kado! " he yelled.

So far as you have a shield doesn't mean you can win, Tahara told him as he run close to him slamming his head on the ground.

"What just happened?" Shirou asked.

"Did I just get beaten up by an F-Rank swordsman?" he said.

Miyaguchi, Juba, and Samon came out from their hiding place and looked at the dead bodies Tahara had killed.

"Please spare me!" Shirou said.

Nishi then tried to crawl and escape so that he could report to his master but the moment he moved, Tahara stuck his sword on his right leg.

"I thought I told you not to move," Tahara said as he threw one of his swords at Nishi's leg.

Argh, it hurts

"Just stay there quietly," he said.

"Your shield interests me," Tahara said as he took it and stored it in his inventory.

[Notice]

[Item: Shield of Dormanr]

[Type: Shield]

[Difficulty: C]

Shirou grabbed his sword ready to kill Tahara but Tahara cut off his head.

"The cloak looks messy," Tahara said.

The cloak vanished from his body as well as his swords.

"Now then!" he said as he jumped and stepped on his injured leg of Nishi.

"Do you know where The Guild of the Teal Arm is?" Tahara asked.

"How do you expect me to know that?" Nishi replied.

Tahara sighed and stepped on the injured leg again.

"I'm asking you again, where's The Guild of the Teal Arm?" he asked.

Tahara was about to step on his leg for the last time and noticed something attached to his leg.

Tahara took the chain of his leg and stared at it.

"What's this?" Tahara asked.

"That is the Guild of Teal Arms Chain Entry," Miyaguchi explained.

"They got us good!" he said.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Alabama,

"Boss, we have located the last clan of the Kado's
