From the nether, I shall strike

AAAAHHHHH!!!

Liu Kai dashed forward, full of frustration, despite not being in a crazed state. Yamamoto Fumihiro didn't back down and remained on his feet.

"Let's see what you got, young man."

He raised his sword and parried all of Liu Kai's attempts to slice him. Despite having a single sword, he perfectly countered Liu Kai's attacks from both sides with his two kamas.

"Let's see if you can survive this," stated Fumihiro.

ACCCKKK!!!

Fumihiro kicked Liu Kai's abdomen, preventing him from slashing. Liu Kai had flown a few meters away, but Fumihiro wasn't done with him. Before he could even land on the ground, Fumihiro charged forward, pursuing him to continue his relentless attacks. He was about to stab Liu Kai's face, but Liu Kai held his kamas in a cross position in front of his face to block the blow.

He rolled over the ground and quickly stood up to avoid Fumihiro's successive attacks and narrowly avoided all of it.

"That's it! I'm done," announced Fumihiro.

'What is he saying?' Liu Kai thought to himself, observing Fumihiro in front of him, not moving.

"You survived after ten seconds. Not bad, young man," added Fumihiro.

Yamamoto Fumihiro put his sword back to its holster and raised his arm to the sky. He snapped his fingers, then showed his back to Liu Kai, walking away from him.

"You're underestimating me so much, Greatest Swordsman!" told Liu Kai, appearing beside Fumihiro and was about to slice his torso, but another blade deflected his attempt.

"Don't even think about it, kid," declared Choi Seo-Yun, inserting his sword back into its holster after deflecting Liu Kai's slash.

Before Liu Kai knew it, all the knights were already standing in front of Fumihiro, whose back was facing him.

'They're just in that prominent building earlier,' thought Liu Kai.

Yamamoto Fumihiro looked back and smiled at Liu Kai before he jumped back to the skyscraper to observe them.

"Really? Four of us against this poor kid? This is tedious. I'll do you two a favor and let you experience your first justice execution alone," told Choi Seo-Yun to Abhijeet Rahaman and Flynn Schneider, touching their shoulders.

"Favor your ass. You're just lazy to act yourself," boasted Abhijeet Rahman.

"Uhmm... It doesn't look good for Royal Knights to gang up a small fry like him. Do you have shame on yourself?" Choi Seo-Yun replied to Abihijeet Rahman.

"He has a point, Sir Rahman. One of us is enough," agreed Antonio James Reyes, crossing arms on his chest.

'So this is all about,' thought Liu Kai.

"You guys are getting the wrong idea!" yelled Liu Kai to cut them off.

"Come to life," mumbled Liu Kai.

[Summon Treants will now be: Activated]

Tree branches that looked like arms suddenly appeared on the floor and grabbed their legs to prevent them from escaping. The Martial Artists Treants' entire body emerged from the arm and punched the Royal Knights.

Although they blocked the attack, it forced them to separate themselves from the weird creatures that emerged on the floor in front of them.

"What is it!?" asked Choi Seo-Yun. He quickly touched his sword after he backed away.

Antonio James Reyes and Choi Seo-Yun landed on their feet, while the other two rolled over the ground several times before they stood up. They observed the Treants formed in front of them.

"There's more at the back," announced Abhijeet Rahman, brushing the dust off his shoulder after he stood up.

"So this is his blessing," said Antonio James Reyes, observing the humanoid Treants in front of them.

'So he's a summoner... Yet, he has hand-to-hand combat skills that surpass average Knights. Normally, a summoner uses his summons to fight for him and hide while creating a distance. But this guy fought Fumihiro without using his summons. Either he's an idiot, or... he's confident in his hand-to-hand skills. But I think it's the latter,' thought Antonio James Reyes.

"You again, pathetic bandit!?" asked Abhijeet Rahman, raising his eyebrow at Liu Kai at the back of his Treants.

"I'll end your life with your minions!" added Abhijeet Rahman. He grabbed something in his pouch and was about to throw it, but...

"Fool! You'll die at the hands of Fumihiro if you do that," said Antonio James Reyes, blocking his way using his left arm to stop Abhijeet Rahman.

Choi Seo-Yun continuously scratched his head with both hands and complained, "Arrrggghhh... You exalted yourself, Sir Antonio! Don't call Yamamoto-san by his first name!"

"You're tough, Seo-Yun. But I am on Fumihiro's level, or even stronger. I might have a hard time beating you, but you still don't have a chance of winning!" said Antonio James Reyes calmly, and not even looking at Choi Seo-Yun.

Choi Seo-Yun grabbed his sword and gripped it hard as he replied, "Rrrrgghh... Don't call me by my first name or–"

"Or what? Go on, Seo-Yun. You'll see what you're looking for," threatened Antonio James Reyes, though, not looking at him, but his pupils slightly moved to Seo-Yun's direction.

"Damn it!" mumbled Choi Seo-Yun. He didn't answer and glanced back to the Treants, pissed off at Antonio James Reyes.

"Please stop fighting Sir Seo-Yun and Sir Antonio. This guy sliced my left arm off by surprise. We have unfinished business here. So it's just right for me to take care of him, no?" asked Flynn Schneider.

Antonio James Reyes took a deep breath and sigh, "Okay, you got this Viper. We won't be on your way. Let's see what you got."

"Thank you, Sir Antonio."

"Don't you dare die on the likes of him!" scoffed Choi Seo-Yun.

"Don't let your guard down. He might have more tricks on his sleeve," warned Abhijeet Rahman.

"Thank you, everyone. I shall repay your kindness by killing him quickly," asserted Flynn Schneider, smiling at them as they left.

'Bring the dead bugs on the village,' ordered Liu Kai, summoning all the giant bug Treants on top of the cliff, unnoticed.

"From the nether, I shall strike," Flynn Schneider said while licking his dagger, smiling as he stared at Liu Kai.
