Xzaivier kicks the Darkclaw away, making it skid away but it gets on all fours and flashes towards Xzaivier before using it's nails to swiftly scratch open Xzaivier's chest. His chest is bleeding profusely but Xzaivier persists to fall. The Darkclaw goes up into the trees and jumps from tree to tree but Xzaivier cannot see it as the leaves are thick and incredibly numerous. The Darkclaw jumps from the tree behind Xzaivier and scratches open his back before biting Xzaivier's shoulder whole. Xzaivier takes advantage of the Darkclaw's closeness and stabs it in the chest. The Darkclaw screams in pain as it moves back and hisses. Xzaivier flicks the Darkclaw's blood off of his katana. The Darkclaw attacks again, Xzaivier takes the kick to his stomach before grabbing it's leg and cutting it off. The Darkclaw screams and thrashes around on pain. Xzaivier grabs it's other leg and cuts it off, he then grabs one of it's hands before asking it a question.
Xzaivier: What do you think of Gimori?
Darkclaw: Gimori? He's a monster, a child of hell... (The children of hell are the 10 sons of Maga. Maga's the god of Hell and the evil brother of the main god of this world, Glorious Omni. Currently Gimori's the only child of hell in the world right now the rest are in hell. Gimori is the weakest aswell as the youngest child of hell.)
Xzaivier: You used to be human, you used to have feelings, I'm sure you were beautiful too... But he turned you into this, do you not seek revenge?
Darkclaw: I am in no position to oppose him.
Xzaivier gets in the Darkclaw's face.
Xzaivier: Yes you are! If you join me and help me in my journey to defeat Gimori, I will spare you, and we can give him what he deserves. Come on.
Darkclaw: Heh. I didn't know that... Sword saints sold dreams aswell.
Xzaivier scowls.
Xzaivier: I tried.
Xzaivier raises his katana and smashes it into the Darkclaw's face, killing it. He takes out the katana, flicks the blood off and sheathes it before continuing his walk through the forest. He encountered a lot more smaller Darkclaw which he gained a few more critical injuries from but he made quick work of them before deciding to stop to cover up his wounds. Xzaivier rips of a bit of his Haori and ties the piece of cloth around his chest, back and neck. He then covers the rest of his wounds before stopping by a pond and taking a sip of water. He decides to rest by a tree before taking a nap.
A few hours later.
Xzaivier wakes up to the footsteps of rogue swordsmen. Xzaivier gets up and unsheathes his katana before calling out to them.
Xzaivier: Hey bastards!
Both rogue swordsmen: Huh? Who are you?
Xzaivier: I'm Xzaivier Ryunosuke, and I'm a sword saint.
Rogue swordsmen 1: A sword saint? Ryunosuke?
He smirks.
Rogue swordsmen 2: lord Gimori's been looking for you for a long time.
Rogue swordsmen 1: lord Gimori would be ecstatic to have the last member of that retched clan as a sacrifice.
Rogue swordsmen 2: Come to think of it, isn't your mom down in the Hollowlands, slaving for Gimori?
Xzaivier clenches his teeth and glares at them, his grip on his katana tightening.
Xzaivier: I'll kill you for saying that!!!
Rogue swordsmen 1: We're both common legendary blade users, you don't have a legendary blade anymore. You're light work...
Rogue swordsmen 2: Just come with us willingly or we'll have to hurt you.
Xzaivier stands his ground and one of the Rogue swordsmen sighs and approaches for an old fashion stand off. The two stare into eachother's souls, waiting for the other to make a move. The rogue swordsmen swiftly unsheathes his smoke blade, attempting to slash upwards, diagonally. Xzaivier raises his katana attempting to slash straight down. The rogue swordsmen manages to slash Xzaivier chest, cutting off the cloth that was covering Xzaivier's earlier wounds. Xzaivier grunts but doesn't fall.
Rogue swordsmen 1: What?! How have you not fallen?!
Xzaivier: HAAAAAAAAAA!
Xzaivier brings his sword down on the rogue, splitting him in half. The split swordsmen falls before Xzaivier as the other looks at Xzaivier, confused. His confusion quickly turns into fear as Xzaivier glares at him.
Rogue swordsmen: what type of—
The rogue swordsmen doesn't bother to finish his sentence, he just turns around and runs. Xzaivier uses his chain Kanji to stop him before picking up the smoke blade from the first rogue swordsmen and walking to the chained rogue swordsmen.
Rogue swordsmen 2: please, please! I'll do anything!
Xzaivier: What was it you were you saying about my mother? Oh right, she's slaving for Gimori. What was it you were saying about me, oh right, I'm light work.
Rogue swordsmen: I didn't mean it. I swear, It was just a harmless joke, you know?
Xzaivier drives the smoke blade into the Rogue's stomach, slowly and painfully, the rogue screams and thrashes around as the blade goes in and out of him. Xzaivier takes the Rogue's spear blade (this common legendary blade has the ability to transform into a spear and absorb elements around it if the user wants it to do so ) before throwing away the smoke blade and using the chains to drag the rogue into the ground, leaving only his head above the ground. Xzaivier squats down in front of him.
Xzaivier: I have a feeling those bugs down there are gonna have a nice little feast. Just incase you're over there thinking I'm merciful or anything, I only left your head above ground so you can live long enough to feel the bugs feasting on you.
The rogue swordsmen screams and cries for help as Xzaivier stands up and looks at the spear blade.
Xzaivier: This'll do up until I get to Waterbay village.
He mounts the sheathe on his back before sheathing it. He then sheathes his katana before continuing through the forest.
