"Bastard, Juno, why are you not summoning your soul weapon? Are you fucking insulting me?" Kunch yelped.
"Ah-ho, now I understand." Shadow Slave responded, "Anyway, to deal with someone like you, my Katana is more than enough. Bring it on, bastard!" It was because even though Shadow Slave possessed Juno's body, ultimately, he was not the real Naginas. So, he couldn't summon the Soul Weapon.
He whispered in English, "One percent activate!"
The next thing, the red katana, which was the latest improved version run by the super-cell of energy crystals, emitted a dazzling red color. It hummed. Buzz!
Feeling enraged, Kunch raised the polearm in the air and started chanting a mantra in Sanskrit. Along with the end of his chant, he yelled, "Vabimba Gale Form, Activate!" Then he leaped in the air, flew toward Shadow Slave, and slashed with his Vabimba Soul Weapon.
Shadow Slave lazily raised the red sword and struck at the incoming polearm.
Bang! With a loud banging sound, a large amount of energy explosion occurred between the point of contact between the polearm and the red katana. But somehow, the energy released from the scientifically advanced-Red Katana overwhelmed the wind energy delivered from the polearm. So, it sent Kunch Flying backward in the air.
Infusing his internal Origin energy into the polearm, a wind technique activated. The wind magical technique Kunch used around his body reduced the momentum of his flight, resulting in Kunch being hurled backward for a few meters.
Skidding for a few seconds and halting in the air, Kunch glanced at him and said, "Now, I take my previous comment back. No, you're not underestimating at all. I agree this strange weapon of yours is way stronger than your Soul Weapon. Good-good! Now, I'll go all out then."
With a loud war cry, he let out all the energy inside his body and infused some into his polearm soul weapon, while others poured out of the orifices on his skin, forming a thin greenish hue around him. "Brother Juno, don't hold back!"
Then the two dashed toward each other and started another melee exchange with their weapons. Amidst the energy explosions, they continued engaging relentlessly while trying to exploit each others' weaknesses.
A mile away from the fighting place, Bobby and Layla were currently watching the fight.
After observing for two minutes, Layla opened her mouth. "Master, Uncle Shadow is gradually losing the momentum of the fight. If this goes on, then I believe he will not last for another two minutes."
Bobby responded while patting her head, "Hmm, you're right. But don't you worry. Your Uncle Shadow Slave can easily take care of him. Aight, let's make this more exciting." Then he muttered softly in English, directing his voice, which was traced with a bit of his energy, "Shadow Slave, used ten percent of its energy! Just don't kill him yet."
Listening to his master's order, Shadow Slave muttered in English again, "Ten percent, activate!" The nano AI attached to the red katana beeped once and started buzzing with even more frequency. Buzz....zzzzzz!
The two flew toward each other and struck with their weapon again.
The red katana completely overwhelmed the powerful wind energy released from the Babimva polearm.
Boom….mmmm! So, along with a loud booming sound of an energy explosion, the red Qi from the Katana blasted Kunch far away.
As the town leader KoKo Cha surveyed the scene from above the cloud, he sighed and said, looking at Shadow Slave's Red Katana with jealousy, "Hmm, what an interesting weapon?! Perhaps, this must be a gift given to him by his so-called master. Even Vice Captain Kunch, in his ultimate form, is defeated utterly. Now, I've another reason to kill you, Chieftain Jugo."
Craning his neck, he gave his order. "What are you waiting for? You two attack him all at once. If you could bring his head then, I'll give you two 2nd Level crystal mines each."
This pumped up the two vice-captains standing beside him on the back of the large flying python. Hence, without another word, the two jumped down.
From the get-go, the two vice-captains summoned their soul weapons, as they had already witnessed how powerful Juno was while wielding the Red Katana from the previous fight.
Shikan, the fourth Vice-Captain, summoned an enormous ax covered with a red hue that was fitting to his beefy posture. Whereas Buma, the Second Vice-Captain, summoned a luster black gigantic blade as his soul weapon.
They stood in the air while surrounding Shadow Slave, making sizable gaps between them.
Shikan, the Fourth Vice-Captain made a slashing motion in the air with his ax and uttered, "Die bastard!" From the edge of the ax's blade, a highly volatile light-greenish curvy water-origin energy was released, dashing toward Shadow Slave at an incredibly fast speed.
While floating in the air, Shadow Slave made a quick slashing motion with the red katana. Pop! With a muffled popping sound the incoming energy was negated easily.
At the same time, Buma, the Second Vice-Captain also made his move. He also first made a slashing motion with his large blade in the air trying to gauge the opponent's strength briefly. Therefore, another greenish water-elemental-based energy released from the blade was ten times more powerful than that of the one released by Shikan's ax.
The thick sword energy scurried toward the target while cutting the thick gust of wind blowing toward Buma.
This time, feeling the powerful energy aura concentrated inside the incoming attack, Shadow Slave grinned and made a slashing motion with the katana.
An energy explosion occurred as the red katana failed to negate five percent of the incoming blade energy.
Boom! With a booming sound, Shadow Slave was forced to step back for a few inches before he regained his balance.
"Huh! I get a gist of how strong he is while wielding that strange weapon." Buma said, further reading his facial expression, "Look at him. Under our joint attack, he is still as calm as a dove, as bold as a lion, and as strong and outstanding as the eagle. Shikan, let's use our strongest form and kill him as fast as possible."
