Three vs One ( Part 2 )

" Fuck, I forgot to tell you guys about his ability... "

Arthur said before the back of his head was held by Reimen's huge hand, being slammed to the ground a few seconds later

" What did I say? You'll regret facing me "

Reimen whispered before holding Arthur's body up by his head, showing his now bruised body to his friends

" Let him go "

Shu demanded before dashing toward Reimen, charging his right leg in a burning blue aura, to then kick the read head right on his neck, which effectively made him drop Arthur, but the damage itself didn't seem to be any at all

" You three stopped me, not to injure me, or kill me, but to waste my time when I'm supposed to be doing— "

Reimen was interrupted as he received a fist filled with ice as well as a fist covered in blue sanctuary energy right to his gut, which sent him flying a few meters away

" Nobody cares "

Arthur and Shu replied as a blue aura began to engulf them both separately

" Yeah what they said "

Ean's voice was heard, as a blue trail flew in-between the two boys, rushing toward Reimen, as the trail then morphed into what seemed to be Ean

" Wait for us Ean! "

Shu yelled, sounding excited, enjoying every single bit of this battle, before dashing forward, being followed by Arthur who engulfed both his arms in ice

" No "

Ean replied, as he held his sword with both his hands, as a gigantic aura surrounded him, expanding approximately ten feet and thirty feet in height, all that energy would then rush down toward his body, moving across it, all the way to his sword, which began to shine blue.

Ean then thrusted his sword forward, as fast as he could, stabbing through Reimen's abdomen and through his back, making the man bleed as well as cough out blood

" Well I guess all we can do is follow your lead "

Shu replied as his and Arthur's bodies were surrounded in a similar aura to Ean's, though unlike him they didn't have a sword to focus all that energy on, so Shu focused it all on his right leg and Arthur on his left Arm, each one of them attacking a side of Reimen's abdomen, Shu the right and Arthur the left.

This made Reimen's muscles and insides ache, causing him to fall down to his knees as the boys simply stared at him straight in his eyes

" What was it that you said before? That we'd regret this? "

Ean questioned as his sword continued to shine

" Well it doesn't look like we're regretting anything "

Ean added as he held the man by his hair, pulling his head up to then place his sword right underneath the man's chin so that his blade could target the redhead's neck

" Woah... Hey! Ean, we don't have to kill him, man "

Arthur said as Ean simply turned to look at him, tightening his grip on the man's hair

" He's the enemy is he not? "

Ean questioned, glaring at Arthur with eyes that reflected solemnness

" Yeah, exactly why we should keep him alive.. "

Arthur replied, with a hesitant voice, almost afraid of what Ean's next move would be

" Hey man, you're acting weird, is this because of the brother thing? "

Shu questioned, making Ean's eyes widen in anger as he held his sword tighter, proceeding to push it forward with intention to kill the man, but to his surprise, his bleed didn't move an inch, in fact to him it felt like he was trying to slice metal with a wooden sword

" Even if you wanted to kill me... "

Reimen said as he began to stand, making it so the boys had to look up at him

" You wouldn't be able to "

He added before punching Ean in the face with a fist surrounded by a red Aura, which sent the boy flying up in the air, with his face all bruised up while blood dripped from the side of his lips.

This made Arthur and Shu react. Shu attempted to kick him, and Arthur attempted to freeze him with his right hand, but both those attacks failed, as Reimen held both those limbs, picking Arthur and Shu up before slamming them both simultaneously against the ground, shattering some of the bones around their abdomens, making them cough out blood as a screamed in pain

" Did my statement not reach any of you boys' brains? You three will regret facing me "

Reimen said as red trials began to swirl around his body, eventually engulfing his entire body after a few seconds, once they did, they began to tighten themselves around the man's body, resembling that of bandages.

The trails then began to sink inside of his body, making his body shine red, temporarily blinding anyone who stood in its presence with their eyes opened.

As the light slowly vanished, Reimen's new appearance was visible. His Skin was red, and what seemed to be black metal armor formed around his arms and legs, the armor was tight just like the trails were before, making the metal seem like it was part of his skin.

His hair shined white with a red outline, his eyes glowed entirely red and the fangs on his teeth grew to the point they could be seen, like bones sticking out of his mouth

" Fuck, looks like he's activated his spiritual awakening "

Arthur whispered as he slowly stood up from the ground, being mimicked by Shu

" That's a weird Awakening, reminds of an Oni "

Shu said, while his face took an innocent expression

" Wait, you know what an Oni is—actually never mind "

Arthur said, turning to look at Shu but soon after glaring back at Reimen

" What? Is it weird that I know what an Oni is? You guys speak of me as if I'm stupid! "

Shu replied, frowning as Arthur simply sighed

" I just didn't expect you to know what an Oni was that's all "

Arthur replied, as he took a fighting stance, watching Reimen walk, which intimidated him quite a bit.

" Anyway right now it doesn't matter if you know what an Oni is or not, we have to focus and- "

Arthur was interrupted as Reimen suddenly appeared in front of both of them, his face was ruled over by a calm expression, and his body seemed to be relaxed, almost as if telling them that they posed no threat

" I can't believe I had to activate my Spiritual Awakening just to beat three kids, I guess it's true what the kinetic one told me, I shouldn't slack when it comes to training "

The man said to himself before slapping Shu's face, leaving it just like he left Ean's, sending him flying a few meters away, to then turn toward Arthur, punching him right in the gut, sending him flying hundreds of meters away

" Now, I'll take you three back to my master, you boys are very strong for your age, killing you three now will prove to be a waste of potential "
