Chapter 28 - 26 Round 1

With his Undead Legon Armor donned in his body, he stood up like a lone hero as he waited for Artorias to appear with his duel Black Blades in each of his hands. The katanas were releasing lightning and fire particles around it every second.

Hikaru pierce his katanas into the ground before doing multiple hand signs. He was preparing to try his new jutsu on Artorias, which involves doing hand signs connected to every element. This is a five element jutsu, but it's a bit different. He mixed the elemental chakras and created a new jutsu, no, I think it's a bit closer to the tailed beast bomb.

Once he finished the 50 hand signs in a few seconds, five elemental chakra appeared in front of him before he used his extreme chakra control to combined all of them together. As soon as they touched each other, a huge shock wave occurred.

Hikaru stood calmly in front of it as the ground cracked and the katanas were almost blown away but he continued merging them together. A few seconds later, a new mass appeared in from of him.

"As I suspected, this jutsu is still not finish but this will do as my second trump card against Artorias," he said as he analyzed the pitch black orb in front of him.

He calls this jutsu, Yami no Tengoku(Dark Heaven).

This jutsu will explode upon contact but it will not harm the target and instead swallow them up inside the black ball. The explosion will then happen inside the ball, and it would then rise up to the skies before exploding its dark mass everywhere and becoming something akin to the heaven, but instead, it will be dark. The target inside it will receive extreme damage, and maybe kill them.

This is one of his trump cards, but it will only be able to activate if he manages to perfectly lure Artorias into this.

He used several illusions to hide it in plain sight.

"Now, I think it's time he show up, " he said as he picked up his katanas.

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, black mists suddenly gathered together, forming the tall humanoid figure of Artorias. He appeared with his greatsword hanging in his shoulder and with his left arm broken.

ROAR!!!!

He roared with extreme ferocity and the ground shook.

Hikaru readied himself before he shot towards Artorias like a bullet. As sson as he reached him, Hikaru jumped up and smashed his katanas towards Artorias but the abyss walker blocked it with his greatsword. The impact of his Katanas smashing into Artoias greatsword distorted the air and created a shockwave that caved everything under Artorias.

Hikaru stared at the abyss walker's empty eyes but they were still fierced.

He quickly tried to back off from Artorias, but as soon as he did that, Artorias swung his sword directly towards him while he was in mid-air. But fortunately for him, he managed to block it just in time with his katana. Yet, as he did that, the impact of the gratesword made his hands go numb and he flew towards the walls of the coliseum with harsh speed.

But this was of no problem. He flipped through mid-air and landed on both of his feet in the walls. As soon as his feet touched the walls, he ran around the coliseum walls as he took out his throwing knives before throwing them towards Artorias.

Of course, he knew this wouldn't work but he managed to buy enough time to weaved some hand signs.

"Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu!"

Three huge flame dragons at the size of a house came out of Hikaru's mouth and shot towards Artorias with extreme velocity,

Artorias tried to slash it all away with his greatsword but he was quickly enveloped by the flame dragons and couldn't do nothing but to take the damage.

Everything was going along his plan smoothly, maybe because of his countless deaths against Artorias? He doesn't know but this is his chance to kill Artorias!

Because of that Katon jutsu, Artorias let an opening open. Hikaru saw this and took this chance to control the Yami no Tengoku while being hidden by an illusion.

ROAR!!!

Artorias stood up and roared again in furiousness. He tried to charge at Hikaru with his greatsword in tow but, it was too late. The black ball has already been touched by him, and he couldn't see it because of the illusions Hikaru placed on it.

The black orb exploded in front of Artorias but it suddenly stopped in mid-air before proceeding to swallow him up. This time, the five elements inside the black orb exploded inside it, and Artorias could be heard screeching beastly inside it.

Then, the black orb floated up in the fake sky created by the system before it suddenly exploded in every direction and then, suddenly, the sky was devoured by the black orb. And Artorias continued to suffer the continues exploding elements.

And the world suddenly went quiet.

"Success! It was a success!" Hikaru rejoiced.

But, nothing was finished yet. Artorias fell from the dark heavens with a large part of its torso torn out.

"Tch, not finished yet? Guess this trump card is the only thing I can do right now, if I die fighting him in that weakened form, then I wouldn't call myself a Dark Souls Player!" With one last roar, he became encased with chakra as he enhanced his physical strenght.

Like a beam, he shot towards Artorias with extreme speed.

This time, he would go all out!

"Raaaahrg!"

Countless blade attacks brought countless shcokwaves as he slashed both of his katanas into Artorias and Artorias did the same.

Both of them were like untamed monsters as both of rushed their swords into each other.

Swish!

Hikaru's left arm was sliced off clean by Artorias sword, but he paid it no mind and continued slashing his katana at him. The lightning katana formed countless lightning arcs as both of them slashed their swords at each other countless times.

And at some point, it seems like no one was winning.

Hikaru knew if this keeps up, he will eventually fall. So he did a simple jutsu that required no hand signs and blew a small flame at Artorias face's. (Shinobis never fight fair).

This distracted the abyss walker and Hikaru took this chance to cut Artorias one remaining good arm off. And it flew away.

With a part of his torso blown up and his remaining arm cut off, Artorias seems like almost helpless.

And Hikaru grinned, as he knew that this is his win.

But suddenly, the abyss energy surrounding Artorias formed him a new arm.

"Oi, this was not in the game!"
