The Swordsmen
"Daichi? So this is the man that caused our lord so much trouble. How the hell is he in one piece though? He shouldn't be able to do this when he is already dead. Also, didnt lord Liam pierce his heart straight through?" The hunter asked.
"He did indeed pierce his heart straight through with his hand, there was a fairly large hole actually. And like I said, he is the peak of humanity, the most powerful human to ever exist. I hate to say it, but this man could easily have killed lord Liam if it weren't for his transformation. It seems that although parts of his body like his brain are dead, other parts aren't. I don't know how he did this, but even in death his body regenerated itself." B23 said as he remembered the fight between Daichi and Liam.
"What I don't understand is how he was able to recreate a ripple and regenerate all of this muscle after death. He had given it all to the kid we are looking for, its the entire reason why lord Liam lost in the first place. Perhaps he took it from the plants and animals in the surroundings? I'm not sure, but since he is dead, I don't think it matters." B23 said confused as he pondered.
"Hey, lets rip him apart! We should rip his corpse apart and piss on it! After what this filthy human did to lord Liam, its only fair right?" The swordsmen said as he ran up to the body and went to grab it. However, before he could touch it, he saw his hand all of the sudden in front of his face instead of attached to his arm.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH" He screamed as he felt extreme pain from his arm being cut off. He thought that he could have just reattached it, however, his arm and hand were both flickering with sparks that prevented that. Less then a second later, he watched his hand explode into his face and send him flying.
"Have you no honor?! For a swordsmen to desecrate a corpse in such a way, perhaps it was the wrong decision to bring you along!" B23 stood over him with a cold expression and his hands in his pockets. Onaka could be seen on his stomach with a tentacle blade out and covered in dark hamon.
"W-Why would you d-do this?" The swordsmen asked as he looked in pain at his missing hand.
"Lord Liam was able to kill this man, and he decided that his corpse is to be left alone, you dare defy him? Although this man was one of lord Liam's worst enemies, his majesty still respected him for his strength. You should as well, as a warrior yourself." Onaka answered.
He started out with no emotions, however after the stone mask fusing him and B23 to a higher degree, while B23 gained more power, Onaka gained emotion. He also came to value honor, respect, and loyalty after hearing old stories. This was the reason he looked up to Liam, because he displayed the qualities of what he viewed as a true warrior. For the swordsmen to do this was equal to spitting on Liam, so Onaka couldn't let it stand.
"Although I don't like the man either, I still have respect for him! We will leave his corpse alone here, there is nothing he can do when he is dead." B23 intervened before Onaka could kill the man. He could still need his help after all.
"This is unwise! It is foolish to leave the lords greatest enemy in this condition. We should destroy him before anything unexpected happens." The swordsmen spouted. "We are literal zombies and vampires. We are undead creatures brought back to life. We should be careful that the same doesn't happen to him!"
"This man is far to powerful and far to influenced by hamon for a stone mask to change him. Even if lord Liam himself wanted to, he said that he wouldn't be able to change this man into an undead. He said it would just end in the hamon enhanced blood destroying any dark hamon that tries to change him." B23 began.
"Other then that, there are no other ways to resurrect a living thing. So there is no need to worry. Besides, even if he does somehow find his way back to the land of the living, both Lord Liam and myself are far more powerful. Any one of the thousand vampire lords could probably fight him for a while, I would kill him before he even reached Washington. And even if he is stronger and somehow gets past me, lord Liam is so much more powerful then me that he is an actual god at this point!" B23 continued with a JoJo pose at the end. Imagine a pale and red eyed Yuno in a DIO pose.
"So, what exactly do you think is a threat here, other then your loyalty to lord Liam's honor?" Onaka finished before B23 could. B23 then turned around and started walking away.
By the end, the swordsmen was laying on the ground shaking. As a human, he was more equivalent to one of those 'young masters'. He was extremely talented with the sword, and decided to train with it for a few years. Before he knew it, he had become one of the greatest swordsmen in North America, which wasn't much considering that most of the skilled swordsmen lived in Asia, however he still took pride in his ability.
Then the light hit, and he was subjected to mental torture for years, but he stayed awake for most of it with the belief that he couldn't be taken down as he was the best. When he finally lost his will and fell unconscious, he was only a few years away from the time when Liam would bring him back. When he was finally revived, he had a strong urge to serve the man that helped him, however he didnt want to, he only did because he didnt have a choice.
"Liam honor?! LIAMS HONOR? You think I give a shit about that assholes honor?" The swordsmen finally broke and had his own will freed from the binds Liam put on him. "He is the psychotic dick face that sent his own people out to find a magic rock that doesn't exist. He made me of the same level as you plebeians, apparently not even considering for a second to make me his equal!"
"I am the most powerful swordsmen in America! I could easily kill any man I wanted before he showed up with his fangs and his muscles, and that dumbass muscular face of his! The next time I see him I will kill him. But for now, killing you and these fools will suffice. After that I will smear his honor across the ground with that old mans corpse!" The swordsmen said as he forgot how powerful all the people he was talking about were. He also still thought swordsmanship was relevant in modern day, forgetting how guns exist and could kill him before he even got into range.
The second the swordsmen finished, B23 stopped in his tracks. The swordsmen could feel something crawling up his spine as he started to shiver. All of the sudden, B23 vanished. The swordsmen was surprised until he looked up to find B23 staring down at him with a face so calm yet so lethal, that was only inches away from his own. He started to sweat immediately and shivered more, he tried to stumble back, but found that he couldn't move.
He then felt immense pain in his stomach as he looked down and saw a tentacle blade threw his torso. He saw Onaka also starring at him with cold blue eyes that he could probably actually end up killing something with just a gaze. He looked around and saw all of his 'team mates' starring at him in anger.
B23 grabbed his neck and held him up in the air with one arm. "You have some pretty big balls to talk about lord Liam in such a vulgar way. Why don't we fix that." B23 said and Onaka shot out a blade, making the swordsmen's crotch explode.
"AAAAAAAAAHHH!" The swordsmen yelled again as he felt immense pain.
B23 then looked him dead in the eyes, causing the swordsmen to immediately ignore the pain in fear. "I originally didnt want to have to kill anyone, I don't like it. Murder is such a quick and easy way to get out of problems. It very rarely helps a person grow. But there are exceptions!"
All of the sudden, a black aura surrounded B23 and purple sparks flickered across his body, creating an extremely dense purple lightning storm around his body. The dark ripple spun around him faster and faster, as B23 prepared to use Liam's technique. He looked at the swordsmen with cold eyes as he started draining him of his dark hamon.
"You shouldn't have insulted his majesty, you would have lived longer." B23 said as he watched the swordsmen face sink in and age rapidly.
"I-I was *cough* wrong, I spoke out of *cough* term. P-Please forgive me." He asked for at the last second, but was met with no response as he looked into the eyes of his murderer. His features became unrecognizable after a few seconds, and all that was left were his bones and a thin layer of skin, both of which were also completely drained and looked like they are millions of years old.
B23 clenched his fist as he felt his power grow by a significant amount, though not a life changing one like his transformation. Although the swordsmen would have been useful with his technique and new strength, B23 refused to allow someone like that to be part of Liam's kingdom.
He then noticed Onaka who was satisfied and decided to go to sleep. B23 sighed and put his hands back in his pocket, then turned around and started walking away from the battle field. The hunter noticed earlier that there was human tracks leading to Washington, however they carried on to check the battel field just in case. He didnt see anything there, so he was going back to the area where they found those tracks.
"Are you coming or not?" He yelled back at his teammates, who were starring at the vampire corpse in shock. They heard him and snapped out of it, then began to follow him.
B23 wasn't used to this much action, but welcomed it nonetheless. So he simply massaged his nose and said. "What a pain."

Tried writing a wuxia scene, how do you think I did? I think it needs a little more face slapping, blood vomiting, and more racism. It probably also needed less common sense as well. Oh well, maybe next time. Thanks for reading.
