Erik returned to his camp in the forest after visiting the town.
"It's still daytime, I should practice using the katana." He thought, he had the katana attached to his waist using a scabbard. He had the Gun Kajiya Gave him, attached to his left leg in a holster.
The katana he bought had a rsd handle, golden hand guard and golden pommel. The blade was dark red in colour.
Erik started off by swinging the katana from side to side, performing a horizontal slash.
"Shinggg" Erik made the sound of the sword cutting air as he slashed the katana vertically.
"This is so freaking cool." He said as he continued swinging his newly bought sword.
Going over to a small branch hanging down from a large tree, Eric slashed the branch with all his energy, he slashed the katana downwards upon it touching the branch. The branch was easily cut off cleanly from a single strike.
"That branch got cleanly sliced by it." Erik Exclaimed in suprise as he looked at the sap dripping from the stump of the branch.
His use of the spear had made his swings and slashes stronger.
He continued training his katana skills till it was night time.
***
Two weeks have passed since Erik went to the market, he had trained a lot in his gun and sword skills, he could easily shoot a target board a hundred meters away with great precision right on the bullseye.
He could easily cut small trees and branches with ease, his use of the spear had made his edge alignment when using such weapons almost perfect.
He couldn't cut harder things like Boulders or large rocks but he could perfectly cut small rocks into two halves with ease.
Erik's skill with the sword was good for a beginner swordsman who had only wielded a katana for two weeks.
***Six Months later***
A drop of sweat rolled down Erik's forehead as he sliced Infront of him barely missing his target. His blonde hair swept in the wind as the wild beast jumped at him, Aiming to take Erik's neck.
Erik blocked the strike as the nails of the beast and his katana clashed, sparks escaped from the clash as Erik swiped to the right, cutting a gash in the black and oranged stripped creatures chest.
Blood escaped from the tiger's body as his fur was dyed red from the blood. Erik had a nervous look on his face as he injured the creature multiple times his size.
The Tiger snarled it's sharp teeth at Erik as it leaped at the blonde with intent to kill, His eyes were sharp and piercing, looking at Erik's Red eyes, both releasing high amounts of killing intent.
This wasn't a battle between an animal and a human but a battle between two predators.
Erik's eyes seemed to glow in a crimson light as he aimed his katana at the rapidly approaching Beast, His weapon was coated in black as his weapon started vibrating at very fast speeds, a buzzing sound came from the sword as the tiger leaped at Erik.
Erik had a shit eating grin in his face as he swung the vibrating sword at the airborne tiger.
"Fell right into my trap, Ten Kiri no ken (Heaven Slicing Blade)." Erik said to himself as the rapidly vibrating black blade approached the beast.
The beast roared but it was futile as The black shining blade cut through the flesh of the Tiger as blood was released.
The Tiger appeared behind Erik in the same position, a second passed for Erik to put the blade in its sheath. The Tiger was cleanly cut into two halves as it collapsed on the ground.
Erik's face darkened under the shade of his hair as his piercing crimson eyes emerged from the shade, giving a menacing look.
"I am ready now, Hanzo... I am coming for your head."
