Chapter 400 Enlightened One
'If I so much as turn around to look at Solvir, this bastard will kill me on the spot. I must maintain my composure. If I die here, helping Solvir and the others will be impossible.'
He tried to look at the other side of the cavern, but couldn't see Lyrian and Anger as they were too far away.
'Lyrian... Will he be able to take on a beast like this? Anger was even stronger than this guy.'
Deep down, Osikae had no faith in Lyrian at that moment. It wasn't as though he thought Lyrian was weak, but these two monsters were simply on another level.
"However..." Osikae whispered to himself under his breath, "I won't die here, damn it!" He suddenly shouted in a loud tone, which was unlike him.
"Seems... like you're getting powered up," Solvir said with much difficulty with a smile on his face before his eyes rolled back into his head, and he passed out.
Osikae faced Sadness with a determined gaze before suddenly standing up straight.
Sadness tilted his head, slightly confused at what he was seeing.
Then, Osikae sheathed his blade, closed his eyes, and placed both of his palms together.
"Ahh~" Sadness suddenly exclaimed, "A religious technique... huh?"
"Enlightened One, bestow upon me a sliver of your light. Let your brilliance shine on me for only a moment, so that I may destroy the evil which lurks." Osikae said calmly, as Sadness began to move forward.
"W-what? Why did you call me darkness? I'm not darkness. I am not bad. I am a good person. Please... tell me I'm a good person!"
Osikae opened his eyes at that moment. Only a moment ago, he had black pupils. Now, however, his pupils were a rich yellow color.
His body also began to slowly gleam in a bright aura.
"The enlightened one? Who is that? Why would he give you power after you just lied to him? Damn it... there are too many things I don't know." Sadness complained more.
"Demon! I will now obliterate you." Osikae said nonchalantly, unsheathing his blade once again.
'I can only use this once every three years. It's unfortunate that I must use it now, however, if I don't, I will surely die. Even if this won't allow me to defeat this monster, at least I will fend it off long enough for Lyrian to come. I know he will come. Damn it, I have no other choice but to believe that he will. What else am I supposed to do? Submit defeat and die? To hell with that!'
Lyrian had gotten impatient enough by now.
"Panixu. To hell to experience. Anger's right when he talks about the importance of experience in battle, but right now, you are too strong to care about that. Go full power... overwhelm this idiot's experience with sheer strength." Lyrian firmly stated as Panixu nodded.
He closed his eyes once again and exhaled a deep breath. When he opened them again, he had orange eyes.
"Panda Kung Fu: Dragon!" Panixu said, assuming the form of a dragon in Anger's eyes.
"Woah..." Even anger was slightly taken aback as he saw this stance.
"The dragon is the strongest form. It is perfect in both offensive and defensive capabilities, making it flawless in desperate pursuits. It is the sheer vessel which proves that power is greater than all." Lyrian stated as Panixu lunged at Anger.
Anger attempted to block Panixu's paw swipe, and even managed to stop it with his blade.
However, Panixu didn't stop there. He forced his way through the blade, and the difference in raw stats helped him get rid of any defense that Anger could have.
However, before his paw landed on Anger's face, the man quickly dashed away.
"Fine! So what if you get rid of my defenses? The greatest defense is offense! Now, do you have what it takes to defend, panda!?" Anger exclaimed, attacking from behind once again.
This time, however, Panixu shifted turned around on his heel, and kicked Anger's blade out of his hands before the man could even react.
"Wha--!" Anger exclaimed as Panixu's previous form wasn't able to defend so casually.
His gaze shifted ever so slightly to where his sword had fallen, but at that moment he felt a stunning kick to his jaw.
Lyrian smirked at this moment, 'Sheer power will win.'
...
"Wow... you are really strong. Way stronger than before." Sadness said to Osikae as they exchanged a flurry of blows.
"Damn it! Now die, foul creature!" Osikae yelled, stomping his right foot forward as he slashed in front of him.
Sadness quickly jumped back at that moment. However, as he landed, a giant slash cut across his stomach. contemporary romance
It wasn't a deep gash, but it was enough to make Sadness bleed down to his feet.
"Tsk! Why are you trying to kill me!? How heartless can you be..."
Sadness moved forward once again, as did Osikae.
This time, Osikae was the one who sustained several wounds to his face and shoulders.
However, that wasn't enough to stop him.
"I... won't lose to you, damn it!" He roared, as the wounds on his body suddenly began to heal on their own.
"Wh-what!? Who blessed you like this... why won't they bless me?"
'What kind of questions is he asking? It's as if he has the mind of a child who always asks questions because he hasn't experienced the real world yet.' Osikae thought to himself on hearing this.
"Buddha, the Enlightened One, will never give power to the wicked like you. The amount of lives you've taken has destroyed your good karma. You will never see a day of blessing, demon!"
"Why do you keep calling me that!? I'm human too... you know." Sadness paused for a moment, facing the ground.
Osikae let his guard down slightly on seeing this, but that was the wrong decision.
Sadness rushed forward once again, "If you keep healing, then I'll just kill you so that you won't be able to heal! Dead men don't heal, I know that from experience!"
