The battle at the valley of death 1

He released a very massive energy that was similar to the nulls but it wasn't used to amplify his weapon. It looked like the battle was just getting started.

"Say?.." Akitora was now grinning slightly.

Something had definitely changed.

I waited to observe the battle, as I wasn't the only one who came to a sudden halt. Others had also ceased fires temporarily to watch the impending duel that was certainly promising.

Everyone was now on standby mode to observe Akitora's fight with Denki.

"Damn it!" Denki cursed. "So, you had this level of power? You leave me no choice!"

-He does the Roman numeral two figure; with two of his fingers on each hand respectively, forming a regular hand sign, where you had to form the shape of a gun pointing towards the sky with two of your fingers, which is the index and middle while the rest remains folded.

"Limo!" -Immediately Denki mentioned the word 'limo', his energy engulfed the whole place.

Even I, knew the battle that would unfold between the two of them was going to be intense.

"Tssch, that Denki!"-Jack muttered to himself, with a hint of worry on his face.

Was it their trump card? This wasn't the right time but, this might be the only chance I'll get to observe a soul heater's fight.

Of a surety, I knew Jack was strong but, I haven't really been able to watch, and observe a heater's fight.

Denki's light armour shreds into pieces, as a result of the amount of force emitted from him.

Those nulls emitting from him right now, were one of a kind.

His double bit throwing axe that was around the size of an axe earlier, was now two times bigger; as it now resembled a Sharp-edged sickle with black and red aura surrounding it. He had finally gotten serious.

"What?!, you think you'll defeat me with that? Huhn?! What a joke! Come!!!" -*Akitora echoed with a scornful look.

"Even with that energy, this guy's still running mouth. I really pity him." I muttered.

As I was about to smile on the fact that the table had turned in our favour, I quickly brought myself to order after noticing something. Why was he still smiling?

As I walked a few steps forward, I saw Denki form a clearer point of view. His teeth were now sharper at the edges, as his mouth bared his fangs. Blood could be seen flowing from the insides of his mouth, to his chin slowly: 'almost seeping through', as he was gnashed his teeth against each other.

"This isn't good! The fight hasn't even started yet." I thought, striding towards the scene.

"Please sir, don't intervene!" A voice spoke. It sounded humble; but at the same time, almost demanding.

Obstructed by Jack, I let out a deep somber sigh.

"You've got to be kidding, can't you see the situation you're in?" I inquired nonchalantly.

"It's okay." He muttered

"What?" I asked, to clarify his statement.

"It's okay sir!" *He reaffirms without faltering, putting both hands by his sides respectively to show further reverence. "The more he bleeds, the more he powers up. I didn't want it to turn out this way but if it gets out of hand, I'll back him up. Please sir!" He concluded with a slight bow.

I had no choice but, to grant him the permission.

I stretched out my arms in a helpless manner, telling him to do things his way as I nodded slightly.

"But, losing is not an option!" *I said with a very thin smile.

"Yeah!" He replied with a satisfied grin.

Now to the fight...

Whoa! Insane energy pressure from Denki which was now mixing up with the atmosphere, causing the weather to change.

A guy who hardly gets himself involved in trouble, was now the one affecting climate.

Denki was a young lad who was older than Fushi with few years, he had a red side parted hairstyle with a black side cut.

He mostly wears a long iron grey sleeveless shirt on a cream baggy fit trousers.

He had no facial expression on his face, so on a normal day you couldn't tell if he was happy or moody. That was the only info- I had on Denki.

"How long will it take you? I said come!" *Akitora voice rose to a crescendo.

Akitora didn't power up beyond his current form. Was that his limit?

*-*

After few minutes of scruffling between the two, the whole place was now embedded with nulls and massive energy pressure as everyone stood still to watch the fight.

Boom! Clash! Doof! Crash!

Was all we could hear as both fighters hit themselves recklessly.

"You live up to the hype! What's your name?"- Akitora asked with a frenzied tone. It seemed like he was excited with Denki's ferociousness.

"Denki! I'm.... Denki!"---He growls wildly as he swings his weapon at Akitora.

"Oops!" Akitora taunted, alongside a sinister smile as he held the edges of Denki's axe with his bare hands.

"Bare hands?" Jack exclaimed, as he edged closer to where the fight was taking place.

"Looks like he's gonna join the party." I said inwardly. "Well as far as it doesn't go to the extreme, I won't interfere."

Akitora uses the axe he was holding tightly to swing Denki around, before tugging him by his shirt to his direction.

As he aimed for Denki's eyes with his fists, he is blocked by a barrier that was created by denki to minimize the damage.

He smashes through the barrier and sends Him falling. Akitora charges at Denki fiercely in mid-air, Denki again gains control of his body, as he lands quickly to grab his weapon that fell from above.

Almost immediately, Akitora lands with an unimaginable amount of speed and power. He swung his dagger towards his opponent but, gets countered with a blast.

Denki's appearance was a bit scary, as it looked like he was been burnt by his own aura and his eyes were completely white.

Meanwhile, Akitora was still looking okay as he only had few injuries on his body. He tried to aim for Denki's neck but his hands were caught in the process, and a deadly headbutt was delivered to his forehead.

The headbutt sounded like a massive hammer bringing down a tough thick wall.

"Ouch!" I said under my breath, as I touched my forehead in pity. That headbutt should be enough to knock Akitora out.

It seemed like Akitora was finished but as Denki turns to leave the scene, another massive ball of energy descended on Akitora.

The blast sends Denki crashing. The duel now had a clear winner. Denki was pretty much soiled in blood as he could hardly get up, he was now back to his base form as he could hardly stand on his two feet.

However, as Akitora charged towards his direction, Jack could be seen running at a faster speed.

Akitora swings himself with a deadly spin towards Denki.

"Crap!" I cursed. I didn't expect it to go this way. I was now running as fast as I could to prevent him from been killed but it was already too late to fix.

His dagger was so close to Denki's neck, ready to extract blood before he was obstructed by a sharp spear which he evades narrowly.

It was Jack! he uses his hand to support Denki who was already falling.

Both peers were now standing side by side.

"Damn it!" Jack said with a pissed off tone.

Jack's spear now had sharp scales around the lower parts of its rod. Seemed like he is about to power up.

Unlike Denki, Jack closes his eyes slowly as he breathes out loud in an immersive manner. I could tell from the look of it, that Jack was more powerful and experienced than we all assumed.

To my surprise, Akitora was still smiling weirdly. I might have to involve myself in their battle.

"Denki! Let's go." Jack says calmly as he thrusts himself forward. Denki staggers, then leaps alongside Jack towards Akitora.

Akitora grins as he puts his dagger in his pocket, it looked like he was going to fight bare handed.

Jack swings a massive blast at him. And instead of trying to evade or block it, Akitora shrinks the blast with is left hand, then uses it against Denki.

It successfully hits Denki but, with a minimal damage. Denki then yanked him ferociously to himself, holding him tightly in his grip.

"Damn you!" Akitora scowled, as he struggled to release himself from Denki's BEAR grip.

Swiftly, Jack slashes Akitora in the neck, then slashes randomly at him.

After a few more slashes, Denki finally freed Akitora, to avoid getting caught up in Jack's attacks.

"Curse you!" Akitora was now swaying his hands in an angry manner. Looks like he finally met his match.

"Hey!" He shouted at his men. "Who told y'all to stop fighting? You wanna watch, eh?! Kill them all!" He ordered.

*Crap! I had forgotten this was a battle. As I was still trying to regain focus, a long blade was swung at me. I quickly dodged it by sending myself to the floor.

THUD!!!

I was now surrounded. It seemed like Akitora had a trick up his sleeve.

"It seems like he's busy with my men." Akitora thought as he smiled slightly.

"Now, time to get serious!" He removed his top, as he looked at Denki and Jack with a grin.

"The sky colour changed again?" I noted. Something was definitely about to happen.
