On the north side of Grava City, Mr.Chad has joined Mr.Mink's battle against Wrath. The second Wrath noticed the katana in Mr.Chad's hand, he became so angry that he focused all his attention on attacking him.
"I should've just stayed asleep because this might be the most tiring bullshit ever," Mr.Chad thinks to himself as he deflects another katana attack from Wrath with his katana.
"You have some great skill with the katana; I'm guessing you're around intermediate level and have been trained by a master swordsman!" Wrath screams as he swings his katana at Mr.Chad's head.
With his katana, Mr.Chad swiftly blocks the attack.
"Is this an assessment because you're going to put me to sleep soon?"
Mr.Chad swiftly backs away from Wrath and counters two of Wrath's air slashes with parries.
Following his failed air slashes, Wrath rushes forward and attempts to strike Mr.Chad down with two thrusts of his katana.
"Oh, am I boring you? Well, why don't you tell me your story then?" Wrath asks, as Mr. Chad deflects his attacks.
"Are you sure you want to know that my story isn't that interesting?" Mr.Chad remarks with a bored expression.
After his response, Wrath and Mr.Chad suddenly stopped going back and forth.
On top of the roof above Wrath and Mr.Chad, Mr.Mink who has been chasing after them, stops running.
"What in the world is going on here? Does Mr.Chad know that feared legend? Or unless..."
Mr.Mink crouches down on top of the roof.
"That's what Wrath is known for; if that's all there is to it, then it makes sense. Well, it doesn't matter why Wrath completely started ignoring me when Mr.Chad showed up; I'm not going to be able to jump into the fight right now," Mr.Mink says with a skeptical tone.
In the middle of the road where Mr.Chad and Wrath face off, both of them sheath their katanas.
"Based on your movements, I can infer that you have learned the ways of the Kenshi. Which means you know at least some of the arts," Wrath says while still gripping the handle of his katana.
"I told you my story isn't of any interest. I abandoned the Kenshi way years ago, before I was even sixteen," Mr.Chad says with an exhausted expression.
"Oh, if you're a quitter, then that's good; no one should ever partake in such a cursed path. Now just hand me your katana so I can burn it and all its memories," Wrath says as he puts his hand out with a serious expression.
"Sorry, but I can't give you this katana or stop using it," Mr.Chad says with a dead expression in his eyes.
"Hand it to me now, or I'll take it off your corpse!"
"You know Wrath. The day you became a feared legend, I heard about you. The day you murdered all your fellow Kenshi in cold blood and swore to end the way of the Kenshi. If their way is so tainted, why do you still use it?"
After hearing Mr.Chad's question, Wrath started to tremble.
"So, you choose Kenjustu!"
Wrath swiftly unsheathes one of his katanas.
"To the death!"
"So tiring. What is it with Kenshi and taking it to the extreme?"
Wrath rushes to Mr.Chad's front and swings his katana up. Mr.Chad easily evades the attack and instantly blocks another strike from Wrath with his blade.
"I will not let a quitter like you question my resolve!" Wrath screams as he leaves a cut on Mr.Chad's cheek.
After this, wrath and Mr.Chad start to clash their katanas back and forth.
"This is why I keep my past a secret because once anyone hears it, it always becomes so tiring," Mr.Chad thinks to himself.
Kenshi is the essence of using a katana in combat. The stories of Japanese samurai got passed down from the Old World to this one, and that's when many ambitious men came together and brought the way of the katana back from the dead. Kenjustu, which is a duel between two Kenshi, was used by this revitalized culture to decide many of the traditions that they would carry for centuries.
As Mr.Chad and Wrath clashed, sparks began to fly every time their swords came into contact.
"You're a fool if you think the Kenshi way is worth keeping around!" Wrath screams as he swings his katana at Mr,Chad.
"I'm no fool; there's a reason why I quit," Mr.Chad says as he defends against five quick sword swings from Wrath.
"Then why!"
Wrath continues to lay the pressure on Mr.Chad until he forces his back into a building.
"Why protect that cursed katana?" Wrath screams as he swings his blade full force at Mr.Chad's head.
Mr.Chad quickly ducks his head to avoid the attack, but when he does, the entire building behind him gets sliced into two.
"You can be right all you want; I'll never give up this katana," Mr.Chad says in a monotone tone.
Mr.Chad grips his katana and attempts to cut Wrath's chest, but Wrath easily moves out of the way.
"Push!"
Mr.Chad uses his gravity manipulation to forcefully push Wrath further away from him.
When Wrath lands on his feet, he looks at Mr.Chad with a confused expression.
"Don't tell me you expected me to abide by the rules of an actual Kenjustu," Mr.Chad remarks.
"No, of course not. I'm just surprised you never learned the arts," Wrath says as he pulls out his other katana.
A Kenshi's skill and rank among other Kenshi are determined by their mastery of the Eight Sacrad Kenshi Arts. These are Kenshi's foundations; without them, a Kenshi isn't a Kenshi. That's what those putrid elders always preached about.
Wrath puts both of his katanas behind his hand.
"Roc..."
The Eight Kenshi Arts were crafted from the written myths that were passed down from the old world, with each of the Eight Kenshi Arts derived from a myth.
With a focused expression, Wrath swings both his arms forward.
Every Kenshi who proves their superiority over everyone else in their generation with these techniques is given the name shotgun.
"Tempest Talon!" Wrath screams as he releases thousands of air slashes from his katanas.
Once Mr.Chad sees the incoming attack, he quickly runs over to a building and ducks behind a wall.
"Those damn sacred arts!" Mr.Chad screams with an annoyed expression.
Once Wrath notices Mr.Chad hiding from his attack, he stops sending out air slashes.
"You want to hide fine," Wrath says as he places the katana in his left hand behind him and his other katana in front of him.
Wrath twists his body, putting his blades on his sides. Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind started to surround him.
"Roc tempest talon!"
Wrath does one quick spin and sends a powerful mini-tornado at the building Mr.Chad is hiding behind.
"Oh, now you want to throw tornadoes at me. When does it ever stop being so tiring?" Mr.Chad says as he jumps out of the way of the tornado.
After jumping away from the tornado, Mr.Chad realizes that he's being sucked into the center of the tornado.
"Damn, of course his mastery is this high!"
Mr.Chad gets sucked into the center of the tornado and gets cuts all around his body.
"Shit!" Mr.Chad screams in pain.
After ten seconds, the tornado disappears, and Mr.Chad slams into the ground.
On top of the roof on the left side of Wrath and Mr.Chad's battle, Mr.Mink instantly stands up once he sees Mr.Chad hit the ground.
"I think now's a good time to help him!" Mr.Mink says with a face of urgency.
"I finally found you, man of chaos," a mysterious voice speaks.
Once Mr.Mink hears this familiar voice, he instantly freezes.
"That voice?"
Mr.Mink looks over to his left, and when he does, his entire body freezes solid, almost like time has completely stopped around him. In that moment, Mr.Mink could hear nothing that was going on around him. The only thing he could hear was his heart beating more rapidly by the minute, as well as the mysterious voice.
"Ego?" Mr.Mink asks with a hesitant voice.
"Oh, so you do remember me..."
What Mr.Mink sees on his left is Ego sitting cross-crossed on the roof with his clothes stained with blood. His hands were covered in blood, and his left cheek had blood smeared on it.
"Invincible! The man of true chaos!" Ego screamed with a crazed expression on his face.
The second Ego confirmed who he was. Mr.Mink's mind went blank, and the rest of his body went cold.
On the other hand, the battle between Wrath and Mr.Chad continues.
"Do you know how much I paid for this suit? Getting a new one is going to be so tiring," Mr.Chad says as he stands up with slashes all over his body.
When he stands, Wrath sends out more air slashes at him.
"If you're tired, why not give me that katana and leave?" Wrath screams with a focused expression.
"I already told you I can't do that."
Mr.Chad uses his gravity manipulation to lift the debris around him and clump them together to block all of the incoming air slashes.
"You're a crafty one, aren't you? When it comes to running!" Wrath remarks.
"Yeah, you're probably right, but I'll never get some sleep if I never attack."
Mr.Chad uses his gravity manipulation to lift many pieces of the destroyed building and throw them at Wrath.
"What an annoying power," Wrath says as he closes his eyes.
As the rocks come flying at him, Wrath starts to hear the sound of slow-falling raindrops in his head.
"Now...."
Wrath sprints forward with his eyes still closed, gracefully moves out of the way of one rock, and slices it in half with his katana.
Then he rushes forward and does the same to the other rocks coming at him.
With grace and efficiency, Wrath slices every rock that comes at him while inching closer to Mr.Chad, who is hiding behind rocks.
As he slices the rocks apart with his eyes closed, the raindrops he hears in his head increase in speed.
Wrath increases his slashing speed and gets even closer to Mr.chad.
"Naga Serpent Surge," Wrath whispers to himself as he flows through all his obstacles like a slippery snake.
Wrath gets to Mr.Chad and slices apart the bundle of rosks he was hiding behind.
"I always hated that art the most; you know, all that focus was such a task," Mr.Chad says as he blocks a katana attack from Wrath.
While his eyes are still closed, Wrath shifts to the left of Mr.Chad and tries to cut him, but gets parried.
Then Wrath shifts to the right and attacks again, but gets parried.
"Damn it, you can hold that art for that long!"
Wrath launches an onslaught of sword attacks, attempting to slice Mr.Chad apart, but Mr.Chad barely holds him off.
"Shit, he's not going to stop attacking until he cuts me down," Mr.Chad says with a tired expression.
Mr.Chad continues blocking Wrath's attacks, but then Wrath's blade starts to turn bright red while emanating heat after being swung at such great speed for a long period of time.
"There it is!" Wrath screams as he opens his eyes.
Suddenly, Wrath's blade ignited, and the entire katana burst into flames.
Wrath transferred from a calm, smooth fighting style to an aggressive one.
"There goes another technique I can't stand!" Mr.Chad exclaims.
Mr.Chad starts to block Wrath's fiery attacks with his katana.
Wrath gets sliced on his leg, which also leaves a burn.
"I see you're moving slower! You haven't been a Kenjustu in a while, have you?" Wrath screams with a smile.
Wrath started to swing his blade faster and faster, leaving flaming cuts on Mr.Chad's right leg and the left side of his stomach.
"Phoenix Ember Wing!" Wrath screams with a ferocious expression.
Wrath jumps, and with his flaming katana, he jumps up and leaves a deep, burning cut on his shoulder.
"Ahhhhh!"
Mr.Chad falls to his knees as blood spouts from his left shoulder.
Wrath lands on his feet, and the fire on his katana dissipates. With a serious expression on his face, Wrath turns to Mr.Chad's back.
"You can't win against me, so hurry up and give up that cursed katana."
