Chapter 32: First Spirit Ring

After making that slash, I moved up the tree branch and saw Origami Butterfly lose balance and fall.

He tried to fly by flapping his wings but failed because one of his wings had been crushed.

On a tree branch, not that I came out unharmed. After using Flash Step twice, the pain in my leg became unbearable.

If I use it three times then maybe the bones in my legs will break.

Pointing my sword at Origami Butterfly, I said with a crazed grin.

"It's time for round two, ok?"

From the top of the tree branch I jumped towards the Origami Butterfly, as a defense he covered his body with his remaining wings.

"Haha, it's useless!!! You have lost your only advantage! Now I can destroy your wings easily."

Raising the sword with both hands, I used the Calculation Slash technique.

One slash at a time, but what resulted was 4 slashes. The 4 slashes hit the Origami Butterfly's wings and exploded creating a dust storm.

Just as the battle I thought was over, the dust storm started to dissipate. There was no Origami Butterfly corpse to be seen, only the ground with 4 small ditches.

" Huh!!! Where?!"

I was shocked and looked around me. But it was too late, before I knew it, the Origami Butterfly's fang had already embedded itself in my right shoulder.

"Shit!! How could he be behind me!!!"

Impossible! Had he previously covered his body instead of defending and instead created a backwards thrust? Then he ran behind me and delivered this attack.

Unlucky!!! I let my guard down!!!

I released my shoulders from the Origami Butterfly's fangs and jumped backwards. This is bad, my body feels weak and also my vision is getting blurry.

The toxic effects of the Origami Butterfly had already begun to be felt.

This Origami Butterfly definitely isn't an ordinary 1,000 year old Spirit Beast!!! Previously I had fought against 3 Monkey Dance aged 1,000 and won.

But fighting the Origami Butterfly is very difficult, even though they are the same age which is 1,000 years!!!

It is possible that this Origami Butterfly has an age of over 1,000, or maybe it has a special bloodline.

No matter what, I've targeted this Origami Butterfly as my first Spirit Ring.

I will not let my prey run away let alone kill me!!!

Still under the influence of the poison, I calmed down and started to use the Everlasting Myriad Star cultivation technique.

This technique was not only for cultivation but could also restore stamina and heal wounds using star energy.

Slowly recovering, I can also take this as practice.

I have to thank Origami Butterfly for coming up with an idea for a new exercise.

But for now, let's focus on killing this Origami Butterfly and make it my first Spirit Ring.

I took the sword that was on my back, now I'm back to using two swords.

It's time to get serious…

I closed my eyes, focused everything on them then immediately opened them.

I saw it, Origami Butterfly's insides!!!

Ready! He's about to spit out poison again!

Just as he spat out poison, I had already jumped to avoid him. Then I ran around it, looking for an opening.

Seemingly slow in movement, Origami Butterfly raised his foot and attacked me.

I analyzed Origami Butterfly's legs and looked at the joints in his legs.

There he is!! That is the weak part!

Origami Butterfly's leg attack almost hit me, but before it really hit, I very quickly cut off his leg.

*Shhhhiiiiiiiii.....*

The Origami Butterfly hissed in pain, but I made perfect use of the gap and stabbed into its body.

Origami Butterfly flapped his wings causing his to be pushed backwards. Purple blood flowed from the wound.

Returning to his fighting stance, Origami Butterfly raised his other leg.

I watched him silently, I understood what trick he was going to use. Even if he lifted his leg, he would actually be spitting out poison at high speed.

heh!!! You disappointed me too much! How long are you going to use the same move over and over again?

I dashed forward really fast, Origami Butterfly attacked with his legs but I skillfully dodged them all.

Just as I thought the Origami Butterfly would spit poison, I jumped up to avoid it and landed behind the Origami Butterfly.

Perfect! With this I can end it!!!

As I praised myself and was about to slash the Origami Butterfly from behind. Something stabbed me in the stomach and pushed me backwards.

"Damn!!! I didn't expect the Origami Butterfly to have stinging needles!!! Moreover, the stinging needles are also very poisonous!!!"

I jumped back and leaned against the tree, holding the hole in my stomach. Fresh red blood flowed from it.

I activated the Everlasting Myriad Star technique to its limit. Hope it can temporarily cover the wound.

I didn't expect it, I underestimated this Spirit Beast too much!!! Now I'm sure Origami Butterfly has something special in his body.

I'm sure it's Spirit intelligence, this Origami Butterfly can already think like a human, that's why he was able to trick me.

Normally Spirit Beasts lacked intelligence, thus, it became quite easy to fight against them.

Spirit beasts that could awaken Spirit intelligence were usually those of high age and those with special bloodlines.

This Origami Butterfly is of a low age, therefore I believe he has a special bloodline.

Then what's wrong with that? That doesn't change the fact that this Origami Butterfly is my prey, which will become my first Spirit Ring.

"*Cough* *Cough*....."

I coughed up blood a few times. My body was so weak I couldn't hold on any longer. The longest is five minutes.

In that five minutes I should have defeated the Origami Butterfly that was in front of me.

I raised my sword, imbued it with Armament Haki. Taking a deep breath and letting it out, keep repeating the same thing until it becomes a beautiful rhythm.

This is a breathing technique for recovering energy faster, it is also a prefix technique for using the strongest technique taught by the teacher.

"ComboStars!!!"

Shouting the name of my technique, I dashed at extreme speed in front of the Origami Butterfly. Origami Butterfly attacked with his feet, this time instead of dodging.

I immediately slashed his leg to pieces, then lunged forward. Origami Butterfly attacked again with his feet but again I cut his easily.

Combo Star is a sword technique that multiplies the strength and sharpness of each slash.

*Slash*

The third slash, Origami Butterfly defended using his wings but it was cut off as soon as it hit.

Retracting his remaining wings, Origami Butterfly performed a surprise attack by spitting out poison at high speed.

"Sssshhhhhuuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii."

Again it's free.

*Slash*

With the fourth slash, the poison instantly dispersed and the residual force of the slash hit Origami Butterfly's body.

*Slash*

Fifth slash, I mercilessly sliced ​​his body in half vertically.

"... Huh…. Huh…. Huh…. Huh…. Huh…."

As I thought, using the Combo Star technique was too much for this body.

My body is not yet strong enough to withstand the Combo Star's power.

Because Combo Star is a technique that multiplies the power of each slash, as long as I keep slashing, the power of each slash will continue to double.

This technique is a very powerful technique because there is no limit to the number of hits. But the weakness is the user's body that can't withstand the power of multiplying Combo Star.

In my current state as a six year old child, my limit was eight slashes. But because of all the injuries and poison, I can only do up to five slashes.

It was such a gamble, if I failed to kill Origami Butterfly within five hits then the one who would die now would be me.

I saw Origami Butterfly's dead body which was already split in half. Suddenly something came out from his body.

It was Origami Butterfly's Spirit Ring, a purple colored Spirit Ring indicating that it was 1,000 years old, but right now I couldn't take it anymore.

I fell and fainted.
