Ficool

Chapter 26 - Encounter

"It has not proper balance."

Izochi started to think of it carefully. But he still didn't grab out his sword.

"I then got an advantage."

The engima once again rushed at Izochi, with its full potential. Once again, to Izochi, the balance became unstable. But this time, he was holding himself better than before. Izochi tried to come up with a plan of fightback.

"I have to hinder its movement, at first. Then find a opening."

Izochi drew off his new sword for the first time. But he didn't use it against the engima. Rather he slashed the ground, using the sord with his full power. The ground wasn't supposed to be cut down. Because he was slashing the ground again, again and again.

"This will do."

Because of so much slashes at a single time, the ground got cut down into pieces. And the rocks as well as the hard particles of the ground got spread out all around.

Izochi was dodging the engima's attacks, and going to here and there. He did the same thing all over the place. He cut the pieces in a shape that those were already sharp and piercing enough to penetrate through hard layers of skin.

For the unsettled placements of the ground, and dust all over the place deepening darkness, the engima's movements got quite turned in favor of Izochi. Despite shattering the earth in pieces, the sword had got no scratches in the end of thus.

"So, that is how to use it properly. Unscratched and untouched."

Izochi lifted his sword to his chest's line and looked at it. His face still no emotional feedbacks to stay there at all. His dark eyes were totally faded with the void of the surroundings. A place where only presence can be felt, Izochi seemed experienced in it.

"At first, I have to make you a little weak. Though this would be very easy for me, I will enjoy."

The engima tried to attack it as many times as it could, but each time. Only it got hurt by then ground. The particles were piercing through its skin, causing it to suffer and feel the pain.

Izochi retook his sword. Grabbed the grip tight enough that his hand got stretched.

"I should not waste my all times here on this."

But to his unconsciousness and surprise, the engima was felt just beside him all on an instant.

"How? How is it seeing me?"

The engima threw away Izochi to the building backwards him. Izochi somehow managed to avoid taking fatal heat on his chest by drawing his sword, but the damage was not avoidable at all. Izochi got bounced back at the wall, destroying it into pieces. And some of them also fell on Izochi.

"This hurts."

Blood came out of his nose and mouth.

"Not good."

He touched his mouth with his right hand.

"You have really got me to blood."

He laughed at himself. While trying to erase off it.

"Let's finish this real quick."

This time, he rushed forward to the engima. While holding his sword at his left hand, back by himself. It felt like a shot of a colorless flashing. Izochi at once got at the engima's back, slashing down the left leg of the target. It was totally cut off from its body.

Izochi stood back of it. The body of the engima fall on the ground. Izochi turned back. And then, another piercing dash.

Though the engima was fallen on the ground, its right hand was still a little up than its body. And he cut that part down too.

"Stand up. Fight."

The engima somehow stood on its own, but not properly standing. It was forcing on its one hand and one leg. Barely able to move.

"Fight."

Izochi once again dashed. Then again, again and again. He dashed for 15-20 times in normal eyes. But real number can be a question on its own.

The engima's body was all messed down. It was shattered down, its body parts were all thrown down here and there. The body was cut down into pieces.

"Let's end this."

Izochi lifted up his sword. He caught his sword tightly, getting ready for final blow. And with a single slash, he cut down the engima's head.

Because of the so longed battle, Izochi was also damaged. There was blood coming out of his nose and mouth. And also his head. The eyes turned in red. Unable to bear up with the dust. And his was unable to keep up with the physical injury.

So he closed his eyes, and packed the sword. Started walking towards the void of darkness. Walking forward, but closing his eyes.

"It will take some minutes for me to overcome this."

His hands got several injuries, during the time of the battle. After walking several steps forward and sideward for a long time, he sat down. His eyes slowly started to get into its usual. And the injuries were slowly getting healed.

"I have to keep these a time."

He grabbed out a black piece of cloth from his pocket and tied it across the head, covering his eyes.

"Now it feels better."

Izochi was feeling an unbearable pain in his eyes as it was open. So, there was no other choice as an alternate for him. He sot down still for quite a long time. Unaware of his supposed to be doings.

"I can now move."

He took his sword with the cover in the right hand. Stood up after a while and started to go on moving. Though his right leg was still a little unbalanced, he managed to walk.

"It can be only a matter of time for me to heal those, so I should not be worried about it."
