Chapter 19: The Dead Swordsmens

Date: Æ1289 19, 3

Middle of the night in the northwest. Shikari Gakure Leo Senn and Monoke Gakure are walking in a straight path. Big trees around.

But they're walking in a deadly place. Blood splattered on the ground. An army has been completely wiped out. Some of them are decapitated as they continued to walk.

Shikari Gakure leaves them for a moment to look for the Chief if he's still alive. He leaves. After a couple of minutes of walking. Monoke Gakure senses an unknown Dark Red Aura monster behind them.

He quickly turns around and teleports behind Senn and Leo. He pointed his sword in a defensive position. Leo and Senn quickly turn around. They see a Gigantic Red Dark Aura Monster in front of them.

The Gigantic Red Aura Monster stepped on them making them crush. Leo quickly activated his prime cube making another circled shield but this time Monoke Gakure is with them inside of it.

"We need to compromise!" Leo said as he makes harder the shield. Monoke Gakure looks at the feet of the monster for a second before reaching Senn and Leo to teleport them outside.

The 5 story house Gigantic monster suddenly quickly run away as it run away another big footstep can be heard as they teleported into one of the tallest trees in the area.

"We should get out of the area, it's too dangerous, I believe there's some bigger than them, we should get out of the area, I'll teleport Shikari Gakure here," Monoke Gakure said as he whispers to Senn and Leo. They're on the top of the tree.

"This tree that we're currently standing is 275 feet, we're currently in a normal state of the tree around the area of northwest," Leo said to Senn.

Suddenly Shikari Gakure teleported behind them with Monoke Gakure. "We're going to the west, to secure the village, next we will take you home to the east and we will go to the far northwest," Monoke Gakure said.

"I saw the Chief Dead, also decapitated in half and cut, we should leave, there's something even more dangerous than these Gigantic Red Aura Monster," Shikari Gakure said as Monoke Gakure activated a portal using his left hand.

A bright yellow light starts lighting up where Monoke Gakure's hand is. They vanished and the light is gone. They teleported somewhere in the west.

Inside the west, the heads of the village are gathering the Generals with its special swordsmens and Shira's. "The Gate is destroyed the village almost got wrecked, but luckily the only thing that got wrecked in the front gate, and we lost so many swordsmens, we lost more than a thousand men's in one attack, how many are we gonna lose, if that Shira's arent in the village we could've been already wiped out!" The Special swordsmen said to the heads furiously.

"We lost more than a thousand men but it saved as quadruple of that, the east is checking where's the other army if they're dead or not, the Chiefs are hasn't been found, we need to up the defenses when Shikari Gakure got here low the defenses and make them back to work, remember that are finest swordsmens is not even there to join the fight, there in the village protecting the people, the sergeant of the fifth army died, and more men's have died because of this Dark mobs, we need to stop them at once," The heads of the village sad as they bowed their heads down to pay respect to the swordsmens that died.

"Shira's what's your reports?" The General of the second army said. "The Gigantic monster attacked our village and manage to break down our walls and barrier from the sky, there's possibly even more Gigantic Monster out there wandering," Rikezi the Shira said as he continues to talk.

Outside the west. Shikari Gakure, Leo, Senn, and Monoke Gakure arrived outside the front gate of the west destroyed.

Teramoto Judikishi is standing outside the gate guarding and looking around. As he looks to his front he sees 4 men standing.

He pulled out his sword and pointed at the 4 men. "Who are you, people?" Teramoto Judikishi said as more Shira swordsman comes into the area and surround them.

"Where from the east, our heads ordered us to come here and bring an important message from the east and the northeast," Shikari Gakure said as the Shira's become curious.

The other swordsman nodded at Teramoto Judikishi. "Speak!" He said as he pulled back his sword. "We teleport to the northeast and seems to be that the area is compromised by the Gigantic Red Aura monsters and some of them are heading this way, we see hundreds of swordsmen dead, decapitated and some of them and crushed!" Shikari Gakure said as Teramoto Judikishi walks towards them.

Monoke Gakure steps in front of Shikari Gakure to block Teramoto Judikishi. Suddenly Monoke Gakure's face has masked appearing on him slowly and building itself to be fully masked.

Teramoto Judikishi backs away as he sees the mask forming itself. "We will go to the northwest, we will finish them," the Shira swordsman said as he steps into the chat.

"We're not letting you go there until the other Shira's got here," Monoke Gakure said as he stands in front of the other Shira's.

"I'm gonna report this to the heads, Leo, use the prime whenever you need it," Shikari Gakure said as he walked by Teramoto Judikishi and walks towards the west village to the heads.

The exiled clan is in the northwest. They see a lot of dead bodies all over the ground blood splattered all over the place and swordsmens decapitated. They're watching from the top of the trees.

"We should report this to the heads of our village, and remember don't take off those suits, you will die if you take off those," the girl swordswoman said as she looked more on the floor.

"Tsk.! We need to get out of here, Also you Chief Carmila, we can't afford you to die, our clan needs you," a sergeant said as he hops on onto another tree.

As he hops onto another tree a Gigantic Red Aura Monster starts walking by. "The monster is gone let's get out," the sergeant said as they vanish into the shadows.

In the east. Soldier Æ appeared on the right side of Shimodo Rou as he sits down and looks over a book with Professor Dinger on the other side of the table.

"Shimodo Rou, the west gate is destroyed, deploy an army to defend the village or it will be over for them, the Shira's might die because of the large number that coming towards them, Shikari Gakure is trying to get to the heads of the west, but more Gigantic Monster is keeping coming and coming, and another unknown portal is opening," Soldier Æ said in a Dark voice as he vanishes.

"Shimodo Rou? I'm not expecting that, who is that?" Professor Dinger asked as he sees Soldier Æ appear and vanish.

"That's Soldier Æ Professor, he's Shikari Gakure unknown mask, we're alone in this room so it's time to tell you that you don't know," Shimodo Rou answered as he lowered his head down.

"Shikari Gakure masked? All I hear from you people is that he's the best out of all of the swordsmans," Professor Dinger said.

"Yes, Professor he's the best out of all swordsmans in the village, but he's more powerful than the other but when he got beaten that means he's not activating one of his powerful minds and skills, he can power up his skills using only his mind, Shikari Gakure master made him one of the powerful swordsmans alive in the world," Shimodo Rou said.

"But one day, Shikari Gakure master vanish leaving no trace behind, same as Kuro, the one and only Kuro the Scythe, she's the one who trained Shikari Gakure even more and same as Gakushin Gakure," Shimodo Rou said as he stands up and walks towards to the left, to the shelf.

"So who is Gakushin Gakure, and they have the same name are they both brothers?" Professor Dinger asked he watched Shimodo Rou get 4 books.

"Professor they're not a brother but they now treat each other as close friends like family," Shimodo Rou said as he goes back to his chair holding 4 books with another 1 on his table.

"Friends, that make things better," Professor Dinger said as he thumbs up Shimodo Rou.

"So what are the things that I didn't know since I sleep? I know Æ has started but is it that necessary?" Professor Dinger asked.

"Yes Professor because of the Dark mobs itself and Dark Shira's they started the Æ before I was even born, but you were there to speak about the Æ," Shimodo Rou answered as one of his assistants a girl comes into the room with 2 tea.

She put them on their table as she leaves the room. "Yes I speak to stop that madness Æ, but I can't believe that it's become better, Swordsmans Era has started but the only problem and question is why are they here and who are they who started them?" Professor Dinger asked as he drinks his tea.

"Oh this tea is really good," professor Dinger said as he drinks even more.

"I don't know how to answer that professor, there's a lot of rumors about thirty million ago there's something to do with Shikari Gakure's master but it's not our priority, our priority is to protect the new and current Generation," Shimodo Rou answered.

"The Generation before Æ is such a peaceful place but now there's a border around and a wall that been renovating," Professor Dinger said.

"We will gladly accept you, professor in this village just ask me anytime you want," Shimodo Rou said as he smiles at Professor Dinger and drink his tea.

In the far south. Miki and the other swordsmans are still awake guarding the Ship that is currently half on land and half on water.

"It's still beautiful out here even though it's night, the trees and wind is blowing towards the north, phew! I wanna live here, so bad," a girl swordswoman said.

"You should take a little sleep, for now, Trixie, Gakushin Gakure might be here anytime soon and who knows he might agree to leave here," Miki said to the Swordswoman whose name is Trixie.

"Yeah! I will be asking for a permit in the heads to be one of the Chief in this new continent," Trixie said as she lay down on the floor and sees the star and moonlighting up in the sky.

"By the way, this is not far south I believe, but Gakushin Gakure will still make it here, this continent is some a hundred in sixty to the southeast, we have a compass, we can just deploy a bird towards them but that will take some time," Miki said as he sits down on the floor.

The 2 captains are sleeping inside the Ship but the swordsmans prefers sleeping outside. 2 swordsmen come to the ship to stay on guard.

The moon is lighting up in the sky and everything they see around them is peaceful. The forest is peaceful, the wind blows calmly.

The 5 Greats are in the front gate of the east, seeing the fifth army and Chief Makurin fighting some of the Undeads.

"Is everything clear? Chief?" Agatsuma Hit said as he walks towards Chief Makurin. "They're not kind of a big deal for us, we handle them, and look the Gate is done," She said as she point her sword towards the gate.

"Wow!" Hashibira Kosuke said as he runs towards the gate. "The barrier is repaired and the new gate looks like modern art, and an impressive thick walls and it looks like a castle up there with those bricks," Agatsuma Hit said as he looks at it.

"Well it's not a full build yet but it's getting there," Chief Makurin said as she pulled back her sword.

"The Gate opening is not fully built yet but they can just connect and they're done," Chief Makurin said.

Agatsuma Hit and the other greats walk towards the gate the still currently opened. "I think I'm going to report this to the heads, you three make sure no one enters and manage to follow us," Agatsuma Hit said to Hashibira Komoto Katrina, and Stuyuri Shi.

They turned around with the fifth army behind them guarding. Katrina sits down as she stabbed the ground with her sword.

Agatsuma Hit walks inside the gate that is currently repaired and currently Dark. He continues to walk.

In the west, Shikari Gakure walks into the capital seeing the finest swordsmens guarding the inside and outside of the capital.

He walks into the room. "Better than even Kingston! The main head of the West," Shikari Gakure said as he walks into the room seeing the last Generals and the heads and the other Shira's, Sergeants and Special swordsmens.

"You finally arrived, why did you take too long? Our swordsmens died because of the Gigantic monster... Without our Shira, we wouldn't be alive," Kingston said to Shikari Gakure as he lowered his head down.

"An army is already wiped out, we already lost a thousand men's," a Shira Swordsmen said on the other side of Kingston.

"Well... We Uhm... Find something in the northwest, I believe, or we four believe that a whole army is an ambush, all dead swordsmens decapitated on all over the ground rocks on top of the people crushed! And the Chief found dead cut in half, blood splattered on the ground and the trees around it," Shikari Gakure said as he lowered his head down.

"Thanks for the information Shikari Gakure, we will gladly accept the reinforcements," Kingston said.

"You all can leave the room and defend the village, do whatever you want but please, protect the people inside this village and defeat the Darks," Kingston said as he stands up and turns around to go to another shelf behind him.

"We will do our best, Lead!" The last Shira swordsmen said in the room as he leaves the room leaving the head alone in the facility.

In the front gate of the west, Leo and Senn are standing in their post and Monoke Gakure is talking to the side of Senn with other more Shira's.

"Leo And Senn-" Monoke Gakure said as he stops he turned around and sees something big coming into the forest.

"Ready to your positions all Shira's standby!" Monoke Gakure said as he sees a 243 feet tree tall start coming towards them.

He quickly goes to Senn and Leo taps them and teleports inside the west village into a safe place. He teleported Senn and Leo inside the gate with the barrier slowly rebuilding.

The Shira vanishes on the ground and suddenly there 81 meters in the air. More trees are getting thrown.

He sees Leo activated he's a shield just in case. "We have no match, Senn we should go to the side and fight the undeads instead of that, let's wait if there are undeads are rising," Leo said as he pulled out his sword and Senn.

Monoke Gakure quickly vanishes as he teleported outside the gate. He sees that the tree is gonna slam into the wall and the wall will get destroyed with more trees that will come.

The Shira's charge towards the forest where the trees are getting thrown. Shikari Gakure quickly teleported to the side of Monoke Gakure.

"We need to stand side by side, we need to cut those trees, half would be enough," Shikari Gakure said as he sees Monoke Gakure nod at him. They both pulled out their swords as they both sees that the 243 feet tree is coming towards them spinning.

They both positioned their swords in the middle. "Ha!" Shikari Gakure and Monoke Gakure both shout as they both vanish and the tree stops middle of the air cut. A low level of shockwave knocks off the tree down making the wind blow.

As Shikari Gakure and Monoke Gakure stop the wind blowing at them as they see in the far distance 5 Red Dark Aura monsters with more coming and undeads and Dark mobs with them.

Special Swordsmans arrive at the gate with more swordsmans. The armies gather inside waiting for the signal to attack.

"The armies will defend from inside, and the Shira's will be the attacker," Rikezi said to the special swordsmans who looked at him directly and simply nodded.

The special swordsman quickly runs towards the area where a lot of Dark mobs, undeads and more Gigantic Red Aura monster is coming.

As they charged the floor suddenly moves. "An earthquake, let's keep charging towards them," Rikezi said as they continued to run.

More Shira's arrived at the top of the gate seeing in the Distance Shikari Gakure and Monoke Gakure leading the front line with other more Shira swordsmen in their back and with another special swordsmen and Shira on the back of the Shira swordsmen.

The Shira that top of the wall sees in the far distance a large Dark portal with nothingness.

They fall, as they fall smoothly to the ground, the ground starts shaking, Shikari Gakure and Monoke Gakure quickly senses an unknown Dark Powerful Energy with the Gigantic monsters.

"We should finish all of them here, faster so we can go to the far northwest to inspect the area, that far place has never been searched before, I always hear rumors in that place that no one will return," Monoke Gakure said as he stands up straight holding his sword on his left hand and Shikari Gakure on the right side of him.

He sees something in the distance. "A little bit strange that they're charging small ones, hmmm?! Shikari Gakure looked up over there," Monoke Gakure said as he points to the air in the far distance.

"A portal to an unknown place, that's a Dark portal!" Shikari Gakure said. "Let's end them quickly, or I say can I solo them? I need to have fun because it's been a long time since I haven't been fine and splattered blood all over the ground," Monoke Gakure said as he smiles strangely.

"You can do whatever you want but we have more Shira's standing behind us seriously," Shikari Gakure said as Monoke Gakure slowly turns around getting goosebumps.

He once again turns to his front and sees something in the portal moving out. As they wait they see something flying and their eyes get widen as it slowly comes out in the portal.
