50 Fujin Samurai and Aurilion Knight Commander

John was having a hard time facing this enemy as he disappeared without a trace whenever John moved for an attack. Against someone like him, his sword skills were not effective at all. Seeing that he sheathed his sword and stood still to catch his opponent.

" Draw your sword Birdie, I ain't a coward to fight you unarmed." The man spoke.

" Oh, to have a delusion of being an honorable warrior when you mercilessly kill innocents," John spoke shortly after the crystals from the slashed wings flew and formed into a new pair on his back.

" Huhu Haha! I ain't the only one who killed the innocent humans!" The man laughed, " You also committed murder, killed the civilians who were hypnotized by our leader using those shiny gems on your back."

John heard what the man said clearly but didn't let himself get distracted from the fight.

" You are lying!" John shouted and looked behind.

" You are distracted," The man said as he slashed his blade toward John's hand but something unusual happened. His blade was grabbed by John and it didn't even cause that much damage as a golden light surrounded his hands.

" You Monsters! Is that True?" He shouted in an enraged tone and using his free hand, he tried to deliver a punch however the man disappeared into the wind once again.

The wings on John's back started to expand as more and more crystals were being created. John poured all of his power into crystal wings and spread the crystal all around the temple.

Some crystals even surrounded the man who tried to cut them. But more appeared in its place and when he tried to cut that suddenly the crystal was replaced by John. Out of nowhere, The man received a direct punch on his head and was slammed towards the ground.

Recovering a little from the punch the man got up and put his hand on the blade again but once again John appeared out of nowhere and kicked him. It was like he was teleporting from one place to another. John was indeed teleporting from one place to another by swapping himself with the crystal that he scattered throughout the church.

Grinding his teeth the man stood up in one place and when the next attack came he stopped it using a blade but before he could cut through John swapped again with the crystal over his head.

John grabbed the back of his neck and grabbed the hand that was holding onto the sword and then threw him with all his strength towards a stone pillar.

"...Shit, Fight me like a man...Use your damn sword! Aren't you a swordsman?" The man shouted as he got up after the crash.

John accepted the challenge and used his sword for his next attack. The sword was about to slash at the man's neck but suddenly an invisible wall stopped the attack. Dave moved to attack from the other direction but the attack was once again blocked by a wind wall.

" What is your name?" The man asked.

" Ask the people, I've sent to hell before you," John spoke, and suddenly his sword glowed. The man thought that the wind barrier will stop the attack but the sword just phased through it. The attack made a deep cut near the heart and brought the man to his knees.

" This is the end for you!" John swung his sword once again but out of nowhere another blade came to stop it.

' I didn't even sense them!' John thought as he stepped back. There were four of these people and all of them wielded the same type of blade. Their appearances were also quite similar but one could see that there were some distinctions to tell them apart.

" Shame on you Osen, you couldn't handle one old man!" One of the brothers spoke and then added, " You went to prove that you are worthy of Fujin samurai but got your ass handed to you."

" Don't let your guard down!" The one who looked to be the eldest and the only person among them with a beard spoke." That man is the knight commander of the duke. One of the few we were told to not confront, he is strong and you have all seen why."

John aimed the crystals at them for an attack but before it could reach them they would cut them in half so he stopped after losing a few of them. The Four enemies scattered through the temple.

' Is this everyone in their main force?...No there is someone else with the power to control minds.' John analyzed the situation. He could see that the other assailant were really or maybe hypnotized because they weren't moving at all from thier place. They only carried a blank look on thier face and didn't even turn to watch what was happening.

John was enraged that because of these people, many innocents had died in the crossfire. The fight against the four of them was not that much different as John was still swapping away, Osen was also able to use a similar technique but John was faster. But, even though he was able to fight against four, he knew that he isn't making any progress in dealing with them.

' The Fujin Samurai clan is a part of Black Dawn? I have to deal with them quickly before more enemies arrive.'

John's sword clashed with the eldest of the four and then Osen appeared behind him. But his blade was suddenly thrown back as several crystals hit him directly in the abdomen.

" He's here so let's end this, Skill Activate [ Flash Series]"

John once again activated his skill to use his ultimate move with the Crystal Wings. The crystal surrounded him like a storm and created for ultimate defense and then he moved towards Osen who tried to disappear with the wind but something unusual happened and his skill didn't work.

The next second crystals rained down on him and he was swept backward, and his sword had fallen onto the ground. John swung his sword at the chance with one hand, and the head of the enemy fell to the ground making John's armor dyed in red blood.

" Osen!" Seeing that the three brothers moved for an attack but suddenly out of nowhere two skeletal hands grabbed the two of them and squished them onto the ground like tomatoes.

John once again flew with a storm of crystals surrounding his body and delivered an unstoppable attack on the remaining one.
