Chapter 52

An eerie footsteps came echoing through the empty corridors. The dim light that illuminated the corridor, started to go out one by one.

The long empty corridor was echoing with the sounds of footsteps, the three of them felt that there is something in front of them and what ever it was, was strong, very strong.

It was for sure that, it was not as strong as Naruto, but the threat it possess was similar to Naruto's.

From the darkness, a tall human like creature appeared. It wore a mixed dark armour, that don't seemed to belong to it, it's head was covered with a bloody rag, and it was dragging a dark sword with a rounded tip.

'' We're fucked. '' Hester said. Konohamaru was very tall for his age, but this creature was almost three times taller than him.

'' We have no time to get fucked ! '' Konohamaru said raising the Zweihänder. '' I want to get stronger, and this oversized sack face won't stop me. ''

On hearing the insult, the creature gave a loud roar, the was borderline demonic. Raising it's sword high, it attacked Konohamaru. But the speed of such attack was still too slow for Konohamaru, so he simply dodged it. On contact with the stone floor, it destroyed the floor if self.

'' Its strength is almost the to first brother's. '' Konohamaru said inspecting the damage done.

'' It's head does not have any armour, so lets chop his head in half. '' Shiro advised.

'' Good idea. '' Konohamaru agreed. Charging forward, they dodged a vertical sword strike and swiftly sliced the tendons legs of the creature. As the creature fell to it's knees, it roared in pain and anger.

'' Lets do it then. '' Jumping higher than the creature itself, Konohamaru delivered a vicious downward swing which was unexpectedly blocked by the creature's sword.

See that his attack was blocked, Konohamaru decided to get some distance between them. But he failed to do so as one of his leg was grabbed by the creature.

'' Oh shit. '' Shiro said, and they were in a very deep shit. The creature lifted Konohamaru up, high in the air and slammed him to the stone floor.

On impact with the floor, Konohamaru felt his bones breaking, ''Ugh.. I think we broke some ribs. ''

The creature didn't stop there, it lifted Konohamaru up in the air and slamming him again and again and again.

With a last slam, it left Konohamaru broken and bloodied on the floor. '' Fuck this. '' he groaned in pain. Since the creature's tendons was sliced it could no loner move about, this gave him some time to recover. But it did not want that to happen.

Pointing it's sword at him, it muttered some incorrigible words. The sword gave out a black smoke and he felt something restricting his body, which was followed by his body enveloped by the same black smoke.

[ You have been Sentenced to Death

• Attack speed and Movement speed reduced by 30%

• Physical and Magic defense reduced by 40%

• The host will take 20% more damage

The above status ailments will be removed one the host dies or if the Caster dies. ]

'' Oh come on! '' Konohamaru groaned. With what ever strength he had, he got back to his feet but his body was broken in many places. His left arm hung motionless as it was broken.

'' We cannot afford to go easy on this guy. '' Hester said. '' We have to take it off now. ''

'' I guess we have no choice. '' Konohamaru said as he took off his bloodied shirt and, encased his body with his aura armour. the armour put his broken body back in place with painful sounding cracks, as he gulps five health potions and letting it heal what ever injury it could heal, he lets his aura do the rest.

Placed on his chest was a chakra paper with a gravity seal on it. Ripping it off, the effects of the shield wore off and he could feel himself getting lighter.

Naruto got this inspiration of restricting the body continuously to greatly increase strength from Gai, although he finds the man weird, he was atleast very helpful.

Fully encasing his body with his gray coloured aura while leaving only his head, he rushed towards the giant creature with unbelievable speed.

The creature delivered a horizontal slash aiming to cut Konohamaru in half. But the Konohamaru dodged the attack by sliding on the floor.

On reaching close to the creature's large frame, he stabbed it through the chest impaling it. But the creature did not seemed to be close to dying.

It went to grab Konohamaru, but he already saw it comming. He pulled out hos sword and cut off the creature's wrist. But he did not stop there, swing his sword he chopped off the wrist with which the creature was holding its sword. Then he mercilessly slashed the creature's defenseless body.

The creature finally gave a loud roar as it fell face first to the ground. It tried to raise his head to look at Konohamaru but was brutally forced back to face the ground by Konohamaru's foot.

'' Your strength maybe equal to First brother's, '' Konohamaru said, '' But you don't have his battle experience. ''

Konohamaru raised his sword and hacked the creature's head over and over and over again.

'' Konohamaru stop ! '' Hester stopped him, '' it's already dead. ''

Infront of them laid motionless, was a creatire that was hacked to death in a horrifying and inhuman manner.

'' That's what you get for slamming me to the ground you FUCKER! '' Kuromaru cursed as he spat on creature's mutilated body.

[ Floor boss has been killed ]

[ 800 EXP has been awarded ]

With that a portal appeared.

[ Due to the host's violent and merciless method of killing the enemy, a new title has been awarded ]

[ New Title:

On seeing the list of notifications, it brought a big smile on Konohamaru, Shiro and Hester's face, especially the new title. The title basically means that in a fight with large numbers, the longer the fight drags on the more advantageous it will be for them.

Now all that was left was for the sword the giant monster left behind.

Konohamaru took the sword and inspect it. It was not that huge compared to Naruto's giant sword, but it has a horror of it's own.

[ Executioner's Cursed sword has been acquired ]

[ Meanwhile... ]

As Akira landed on solid ground, he scanned his surroundings for any danger, till he heard something falling from above and landed on his back.

'' Brother what are you doing here ? '' Akira asked Akio who was on top of him.

Akio scratched his head with his paws in confusing, '' I don't know, I was falling then I landed here with you. ''

'' Well, it's better if we are together. '' Akira said in relief.

'' Yes, I agree with you. '' Akio said excitedly as he wags his tail, '' By the way, I'm hungry. ''

'' Lets go finish this trail first. ''

[ Due to one of the host possessing an abnormal mental status, two-person trail has been granted. ]

'' Come on we have no time to lose. '' Akira said, '' I don't want to lose to Konohamaru. ''
