32.

I then asked if Uncle Francis if he is going to be watching too or is he going back early. He said that he'll go back early as a servant guided him back out of Takamagahara

We stood off against each other as Susanoo is done preparing. He wore an armor of 19th century chinese armor. It consists of five parts-the white undergarment, the gold pauldrons, the gold and red vest, gold arm bracers, and gold and white pants.

He is also carrying around a long sword with a gold and silver handle. Seeing that he is ready to fight. I removed Force Edge from the sheath and the demonic energy swirled around it.

Susanoo then made the first move by rushing to me as he used his sword to hack me, I quickly blocked his attack with my sword. Susanoo then tried to kick me to create some distance but missed when I stepped to the side and tried attacking him with my elbow.

Susanoo's off-hand caught my elbow as he tried to use a rising slash to me. To which I blocked once more but the force it carried exceeded my expectations and flew quite a distance.

"What a nice trick you have there." I said to Susanoo as he smiled as I saw through his trick of coating the sword with a thin membrane of magic power to increase the strength he could dish out catching me off guard.

"I aim to please." Susanoo said and rushed once more with his sword in his hands and thunder in his off hand.

Tsukoyomi POV

'Looks like he is getting serious' Tsukoyomi tought after seeing the battle happening in front of him. Even though he is stronger than Susanoo and Amaterasu, he is way too lazy to care bout fighting, but seeing a worthy opponent once in a while made his blood boil in anticipation.

The first time he saw the trio of Vergil, Soi Fon, and Francis, he is interested in Soi Fon. He can feel that Soi Fon is a human but at the same time, not.

He then focused his eyes on Vergil as he immediately narrowed his eyes, the way Vergil's breathing works is in a rhythmic tempo, his posture is always battle ready, that should a fight started, he would be the first one to react, and his demeanor is like a sharp sword being sheathed, ready to strike at any moment.

He also noticed a faint energy leaking from Vergil's body, he thought it was the sword but when he traced the source, he realized that it was from Vergil. He also noticed the sword Vergil's holding, he too as well, like Takemikazuchi, felt that he had seen that sword but he is struggling to remember when and where.

He was forced to return to reality when he saw Susanoo lying on the ground, unconscious with Vergil pointing Force edge at him.

Tsukuyomi Pov Ends

10 mins earlier:

Seeing Susanoo serious, I started focusing as well. Susanoo made a thunder cloud and threw it to the ceiling, the thunder cloud spread out and crackling sounds can be heard.

I then positioned myself by holding Force Edge double handed and pointed it to Susanoo. I then lowered my stance to gain stability should he rush in once more.

Seeing Susanoo wasting time, I used my low stance as a boost as I kicked the ground, leaving a spider web crack at the place where I just stood. I rushed towards him and used round trip as I threw force edge like a boomerang.

Seeing the sword flying to him, Susanoo thought that I gave up but trusting his instincts he deflected the sword as it flew up. I arrived in front of Susanoo and he received me with a blade being aimed at my heart as I blocked it with Busoshoku Haki as a clang was heard, surprising Susanoo as we stared at each other.

"Looks like you lost, Susanoo." I said to Susanoo as he thought I'm bluffing.

"I have a blade in my hand and you don't, how can you win?" Susanoo said

"Simple, you are in my range." I said as my hands started flowing like water.

"What do you mea-" Susanoo didn't get to finish what he was supposed to say as he immediately felt danger but it was too late.

"Ryusui Gansai-Ken, Fang interpolation."I slowly said as I assaulted Susanoo with a combination of quick, accurate, and powerful punches and kicks aiming at his blind spots and weaknesses as Susanoo tried to block with his sword.

I redirected the sword that is trying to cleave my hands as I used Busoshoku haki to coat my hands making a clang noise once more as Susanoo tried to think of a way to get out of my assault.

Seeing he cannot get out of my assault, he finally used the thunder cloud he conjured earlier as a lightning headed for my direction. I was forced to stop the assault to dodge the lightning aiming at me.

Susanoo regained his distance as he thought that I must not get closer to him. Seeing that he had quite a distance, he finally used up one of his strongest attack. He raised his hand in the air as I just watched him do what he wants.

Loud crackling sound was heard as the thunder cloud stretched out. The thunder clouds that were stretched out combined into a one big entity. Seeing the figure, I immediately remembered an iconic attack from that series.

"You should surrender now. This attack will reach you in 1/1000th of a second. You may actually be stronger than Sirzechs Lucifer." Susanoo said while I shook my head. 'I'm way stronger than him though~'

"Very well then, if you still insist on fighting, receive my most powerful lightning attack. Now, Vanish with the roar of thunder, Kirin!"

(Don't wanna use 'Begone with the thunderclap' too edgy for me 😂)

The kirin then dove and headed towards me, I then positioned myself in a horse-riding stance and used my thought acceleration to escape the dilemma using only my martial arts as I remember Bang's words.

'Follow the stream and flow with it. Don't fight the flow but use it to redirect the path you wish to go. You must be constantly flowing like a water and flexible enough to enter through other paths. You must flow like water... just like water... water...' (I'm just talking sht here, pure BS XD)

'If I flow like water then not only should my body flow like one, my mind should also flow as one and surrender myself to the flow of water.' Realization clicked on my mind as the final bottleneck surrounding my martial art loosened. I can finally use that breathing technique without repercussions.(Same as here XD)

I inhaled massive amounts of air as I unlocked all restrictions in my mind alongside my thought accelerator.

I felt the power coursing through my veins as the air nurtured my body and gave it power

'Abandonment'

I then pointed my index and middle finger st the krin coming straight after me. I then redirected all the lightning that passed through my body through my other hand and released it with my index and middle finger as I pointed it to Susanoo as it caught him off guard.(Redirecting lightning Uncle Iroh style from Avatar XD)

I then exhaled after redirecting the attack to Susanoo who is now covered in rubble as the kirin exploded on him.

I then walked to him as I raised my hand and retrieved my sword that is stuck in the ceiling(Like the force from star wars), and pointed it to Susanoo, who is battered and unconscious, signifying my win.

It was then that Takemikazuchi came back while holding a book and in disbelief after confirming that the sword that I hold is the same one as in the book he is holding.

"Y-y-y-you! A-are you the legendary Dark Knight Sparda?! The s-sword you are holding also matched the description of the sword and appearance?! It shouldn't be! He was gone for so long after sealing the demon world! Unless... Y-y-you are h-his s-son, relative, or kin!" Takemikazuchi said while stuttering making Tsukoyomi widen his eyes.

Sparda is a legend in every mythology, he was deemed to be the strongest swordsman in the world and on par with the most frightening beings, namely Great red, Ophis, and Trihexa.

Sparda is also the most skilled craftsman to the point that even the biblical God lowered his head to teach him the art of crafting. He once created a sword with the purpose of sealing his own kin's world to detach it from the overworld as the hell gates are slowly eating the overworld. After missing for so long, the biblical God created the sacred gear, that works the same as a devil arm, as a part of his system to show the fruits of his learning from Sparda.

Lastly, only few people knew about his transformation, Tsukoyomi being one who knows about it.

So seeing me, the son of Sparda, he was in a mix of emotions and confusion as many questions are popping in his mind.
