There was darkness everywhere. The technique that Sensei Hashiro had performed had swallowed up and nullified the Sun king's attack. Hatashi could barely stand, and so he remained on the ground.

  "You finally decided to step in, errant Sensei Hashiro" the sun king said with a smile while Hashiro gave him a cold hard stare.

  "I'm gonna make you suffer, scum bag" Hashiro said with a grim look on his face, but just as he was about to charge at the sun king he felt a tug on his wrist.

  It was Hatashi. He was up off the ground already with blood on his mouth.

  "Let me do this on my own Sensei" Hatashi whispered.

  "And besides, I have a score to settle." Hatashi grinned.

  When Hatashi said that, Hashiro looked at him with a stern face, then he gave a slight grin, then jumped off the platform, thereby clearing the darkness created from his earlier dark technique move

  Hatashi stood up straight, cleaned off the blood on his mouth, and then he stretched his arm to ensure it wasn't stiff.

  "Foolish Hirakima boy." The sun king insulted.

  " You're lucky you didn't die during my attack because of your errant Sensei’s move, so what makes you think you'll be able to survive me alone this time?"

  The sun king asked mockingly, but Hatashi just smiled, and then a dark red aura surrounded him.

  "What is that ominous aura?" the sun king thought to himself and kept on watching. The Sun King made sure to avoid attacking or charging in until the last minute.

  "True Akira form" Hatashi said to himself, then the dark red aura rose into a giant dark red pillar that engulfed him.

  Upon seeing this, the Sun king jumped back in shock and amazement due to the sheer power he sensed from Hatashi.

  After a short time, Hatashi walked through the dark red aura. His eye pupils turned red, his hair turned black, the mark of the Akira clan grew showed more now, and the red aura, which became a red flame, surrounded him.

  "Did he have this up his sleeve before the fight?" Hashiro, Tiatsuri, and Kaitara thought to themselves simultaneously.

  "Is this his trump card?" the sun king thought to himself and then gave an evil grin.

  "No matter what new power you use, you will never beat ....." The sun king couldn't complete his sentence when he saw a quick slashing attack come out of nowhere. The sheer force of the attack sent the Sun king flying, but, luckily he had enough strength to block Hatashi's powerful attack.

  Nevertheless, he had no time to rest as Hatashi had already charged at him again. The sun king managed to parry the first attack but that only warranted a wild flurry of attacks from Hatashi. The only way he could block them was to use both of his bladed while moving back to create space between them.

  Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

  "His attacks are preventing me from activating the blade of Amaterasu" the sun king said while he parried Hatashi's attacks while moving backwards. "Solar technique: solar aura" the sun king said then a ray of light burnt to Hatashi which made the sun king smile but little did he know that he was in for the shock of his life. Immediately, after the sun king watched Hatashi burn before him he felt a blade about to slowly pierced through his chest but he blocked Hatashi’s attempt instinctively with his other but

  then he turned and looked at Hatashi with a smile.

  "Was that earlier sight just now an illusion?" The sun king asked but Hatashi just smiled and disappeared. It was another illusion. This left the sun king in shock.

  "Dragon technique: inferno attack" three Hatashi clones roared from above while they breathed huge flames. The sun king managed to evade the flames but the clones were just another illusion created by Hatashi. The real Hatashi came from behind again but his sneak attack didn't work this time.

  The sun king had perfectly predicted Hatashi’s next move in an instant then incinerated him using the blade of Amaterasu. Unfortunately for the sun king, he didn’t predict Hatashi’s next move perfectly as that was just a clone. The real Hatashi just stood in front of him.

  "If you plan to use illusions all through this fight, it's not going to work”

  Nevertheless, Hatashi just grinned evilly. It was as if he enjoyed tormenting the Sun king using his illusions.

  "Dragon technique: Furnace blade attack" Hatashi screamed then slashed the air which created a huge wave of flames.

  "So be it" the sun king snarled then weaved the hand sign for the solar technique.

  "Solar technique: divine solar golem summoning" the sun king said then summoned a giant golem. The golem easily blocked Hatashi’s flames from reaching the sun king using its solar shield but Hatashi had a

  "Dark technique: vines of darkness" Hatashi said while standing behind the sun king. Dark thorny vines emerged from the ground and smothered the solar golem until it got reduced to nothing.

  "Bastard!" The sun king screamed with rage then slashed the air multiple times using the blade of Amaterasu which created multiple slicing waves.

  Hatashi dodged and parried his way through the waves until he stood face to face with the sun king. In an instant, they began trading blows and parrying each other's attacks at speeds unreadable by the human eyes.

  In fact, if not for Hatashi using the true Akira form and the demon eyes he wouldn’t be able to read any of the sun king’s strikes.

  Anyway, Hatashi caught the sun king’s right arm, broke it, then gave him multiple punches to the gut and a kick that sent him flying.

  "Dammit" the sun king yelled in rage while he snapped his arm back into place in preparation for Hatashi’s next attack.

  "Water technique: poisonous ice shards" Hatashi said then giant ice shards rose from the arena ground. As expected, the sun king charged forward, thereby melting all the ice in his way in the process but this was Hatashi’s plan. While the sun king continued melting his way through the ice like it was nothing one ice shard manged to pierce through his right arm unexpectedly.

  One of the ice shards was an illusion. It was long sharp blade which Hatashi supposedly stuck in the ground.

  "Is that my sword?" Hashiro thought to himself while searching his body.

  "That little ass hole took my blade when he held my arm" Hashiro cursed while thought back to that moment with grin.

  Anyway, The sun king melted removed the blade from his arm then melted it.

  "Your foolish trick won't work on me" the sun king said then tried to weave a sign to perform the solar technique but he couldn't move his right arm. It was paralysed.

  "When did he do this" the sun king thought to himself in shock.

  "He can't move his arm" Kaitara said in shock.

  "Yeah, thanks for pointing out the obvious" Tiatsuri said sarcastically.

  "You're just lucky I'm in this situation Tiatsuri or else I would have punched you so hard it's gonna send you flying" Kaitara said in rage.

  "I like to see you try" Tiatsuri taunted then they continued to argue while they continued to charge Usuki energy to protect themselves from the ever burning flames surrounding them.

  "Way to go Hatashi" Hashiro thought to himself with a slight smile.

  "Which technique did he use to poison the blade or was the blade an illusion"

  The sun king thought but dashed those thoughts aside when he saw Hatashi charging towards him. In order to stop Hatashi the sun king did the next best thing. Pass the blade of Amaterasu to his left hand and then use it to cut off his arm then tied up his arm to reduce the bleeding. They both charged at each other at full speed.

  "He cut off his arm" Kaitara said in shock

  "He just doesn't quit, does he?" Tiatsuri said with a smile.

  "Now's your chance to finish him off" Hashiro barked while he looked at the both of them charge at each other.

  "Don't get cocky" the sun king said in an enraged state then increased his speed. When he reached Hatashi, he attempted to slice him in half with just one strike from the blade of Amaterasu.

  Nevertheless, when he slashed Hatashi’s chest he figured out it was an illusion. The real Hatashi was behind. By the time he found out, it was too late as Hatashi had already cut off his other arm. He then knelt down helplessly I preparation for Hatashi’s fatal, final strike. Hatashi, standing behind him, was already prepared to cut the sun king’s head.

  "No" the sun king said to himself in disbelief.

  "It can't end like this " he continued while he knelt down helplessly before Hatashi, unable to do anything about the situation.
