Chapter 72:

The Unbreakable Teamwork

The Creature Hunter: Soul Of The Wind


(Present)

Orano was knocked to the ground after the numerous blows he received, but eventually, someone came to help him. It was Ken Adachi, and he had finally arrived all the way from the Black Forest to just save Orano and helped him.

But this was kind of confusing since he had been here instead of protecting the Black Forest.

Orano then asked confused,

"Why did you come here?"

"It wasn't something I could choose, Boy. But I came to help you." Ken said as he helped Orano to get up.

As Nuzuki stood up after the hard blow he took, he approached them grinning and crunching his bones.

Then he said while looking at Ken,

"A giant black sword, a very large body, and a merciless expression. You must be the Black Swordsman. The old man told me about you a lot. But even though I heard many legends about you, I must point out that you have chosen the wrong side. You've done nothing but waste all your power on stupidity." 


Ken replied with a serious manner,

"Same goes for you. Your attitude and your ideas, like your father, will sooner or later lead you to the kind of end he had. You're throwing yourself into this hole to lose your life just like him." 


His words made Nuzuki made pretty annoyed, and his expression changed,

"The only connection between that old man and me was blood. Other than that, I don't make irrealistic thoughts like him. And like you all know, as much as this world needs love, it needs fear. So I set out on this path and spent my time trying to give you what you deserve. Because this world can never be ruled without fear, and nothing can change that."  

"You do not want fear because the world needs it, you only need it for destruction. And if you see fear like that and keep running after it for stupid reasons, then you'll never get what you want. You'll never understand what true fear is."

"So that's what you believe?" 

He then added with a grin,

"It doesn't matter anyway. Our ideologies may be different, But you can be sure that I will make you feel the real fear."

As they stopped talking, Nuzuki threw his feathers like a bullet towards Ken and tried to catch him off guard. But Ken acted quickly and deflected the incoming feathers by swinging his giant sword once. 

Then Nuzuki tried to hit him with both of his wings, but Ken once again blocked his attack. 

They were now pushing each other with all of the power they had got. But when Ken pushed Nuzuki, he stepped back and started to swing his sword towards him. Nuzuki was able to get away from the sword blows, but when Ken found an open spot, he hit Nuzuki with his shoulder.

And after he hit him, he shouted,

"Now, Boy!"

As soon as Ken shouted, Orano ran very quickly, jumped, and landed on Ken's sword. 

Ken then threw him towards Nuzuki, and Orano stuck his sword in Nuzuki's shoulder, after spinning around himself. 

Even though it didn't go that deep, this made Nuzuki pretty angry and he tried to attack Orano back. He tried to use his hardened claw-like fingers and tried to hit Orano. But Orano got back and kicked him, making him slide back.

And before Nuzuki could attack, Ken tried to hit him. But he blocked his attack with his wing. And just after that, Orano came from his other side and tried to hit him. But Nuzuki used his wing and stopped him too.

Now he was holding both of them.

And when he was having trouble, Orano pushed his wing and kicked him in the stomach with his knee. This made Nuzuki lean forward and made it easier for Ken to hit him. So Ken threw a very hard uppercut at him, made him go up, and kicked him again at the same time with Orano.

Now Nuzuki had slid back and they were once again looking at each other. 

Although at first Orano was the one who was getting beaten up, now Nuzuki was the one on that side. And thanks to Ken's help, they worked together as a team and safely responded to Nuzuki's attacks. 

However, this was making Nuzuki angrier and was losing his sanity by the second. 

So he flew to the air and started to come up with a plan,

*That Black Swordsman is tougher than I thought and has Orano beside him to support his failing attacks. It must be hard to two to one, but the fight still hasn't ended yet.*

After he looked at them for a couple of seconds, he started to flew towards them and spun around himself. This way, he could send strong air currents around him and could easily repel any approaching enemy. So he aimed directly at Orano and flew towards him.

However, even though it was an attack that he barely could block, Orano managed to protect himself with his sword and sent him towards Ken. And then Ken tried to do the same thing as Orano did, but just when he was about to hit him with his sword, Nuzuki stopped spinning and hit him in the stomach.

Then he grinned and said,

"Don't get distracted. I'm right here."

As he pushed his hand, Ken quickly held his hand to make him unable to escape and said,

"I might get distracted, but didn't forgot something like you."

As he said that, Orano came from the other side of him, and punched Nuzuki right in the head. And as Nuzuki turned around to hit Orano with his wing, Ken kicked his back and threw him away by holding him from the waist.

Being not able to hit them properly was getting into Nuzuki's nerves, so he didn't stop a second and attacked Orano once more. But this time, he hit Orano right in the chin and made him fly in the air. 

It was an unexpected blow and Orano was having a hard time controlling his fall.

But before he could even reach the ground, Nuzuki quickly tried to attack Ken. 

And as Ken realized him coming towards him, he threw his sword into the air, blocked his incoming attacks, and punched Nuzuki back. Then Orano grabbed Ken's sword in the air and threw it at Nuzuki's wing after he spun. 

And as they fought, Ken kicked Nuzuki, to focus on himself and not to realize the sword that was coming towards him. 

And it worked. 

The sword quickly fell on Nuzuki's wing and damaged it a lot.
