chapter 130: introduction[seiji's pov]
we talked...
i had so much to say and he was the same.
and violence was the language we were using.
*booooomm!!!*
disgustingly fast. i had never encountered such speed in all my life. to be completely honest, i had not even imagined an entity moving that fast.
and this was coming from a man who slayed the upper moon 2.
yet my body moved without command. my mind was simply not fast enough to intend for any action in that gap between milliseconds.
my eyes glazed over with mystic purple as i took in action muzan made. the sudden tightening of his back leg, the lag of regeneration in his arm and the gritting of teeth, as we locked in a clash, told me that he never expected me to be able to react to his attack.
his body language told me that he charged at me with the only intention of running through me. he never expected to be pushed back.
to be frank, i couldn't blame him because i never expected to be able to react to him as well. i had simply never encountered this kind of speed before so i was just as surprised as he was.
i was never tested to my limit again after my fight with douma. i guess you never knew how strong you are until being strong is your only option.
muzan clicked his tongue and pushed himself against my sword, sending us both flying away. my feet sank on the snow and i slid a long distance until i came to a stop.
the ground was slippery, i observed, that could be a problem.
muzan started a new chain of action immediately. his shoes exploded, unable to bear the force of his sudden burst of speed as he shot at me like a bullet train. his speed was so ridiculous that i could see his body puncturing the atmosphere and the air screamed while filling the vacuum.
but although muzan was so ferociously fast, he still moved in slow motion in my eyes and that was my comfort. my body and mind were just still lagging behind, but with the help of my eyes, i could keep up with muzan.
it was as if my perception was already at its maximum level, waiting for my physique and mind to catch up.
and so even as muzan came at me with his ungodly speed, i could comfortably raise my sword and swing an arc that completely halted his approach.
a shockwave erupted, revealing the earth under the snow. his hand wrapped in crimson blood to form claws clashed perfectly with my purple blade.
"so it was not a fluke," he said.
it was a strange situation even for me. he was incredibly fast and slow at the same time. i could barely keep up with his attacks, but there was no danger all the same.
i released the tight grasp i had on my sword and allowed it to bend under his demonic weight. he was caught off guard as his body sailed in the trajectory it was supposed had i not stopped him.
i gripped my sword in reverse and my body knew to attack at his weakness even without wasting a moment to think. the hilt of my sword was long since it was meant for a two-handed grip. so i slammed the end of my sword at one of muzan's hearts located in his abdomen.
the momentum of his body combined with all the force my body could exert. muzan literally folded like paper when the hilt of my sword stabbed his abdomen.
a shower of blood erupted from his mouth as his heart ruptured inside his body.
"stone breathing : rupture,"
there was a beat of silence before a shockwave exploded from the point of contact. muzan was sent flying away like a bullet and he crashed into the forest.
if you remember, stone breathing had no proper form. the stone hashira of each generation used varying weapons like a mace or hammer so although stone breathing was rigid, it was also quite flexible.
i was able to create my own forms because of this. the forms of my stone breathing ranged from unorthodox styles of sword-fighting to barehanded attacks.
"you have no idea how long i've been waiting for this," i spoke while getting into a stance.
"let me tell you how much i hate you,"
my reply came in the form of a bulldozer made of flesh. muzan emerged from the forest at a much tamer pace but not because he was slowing down. it was because his arms had elongated to a preposterous degree and they were dragging the snow as he crossed the distance.
he was hidden behind a shower of snow in an attempt to disrupt my sight. he had seen me fight many times from the memories so he knew what my main strength was.
but he did not know the extent of my abilities, or else he would realize the futility of his effort. i saw different layers of the world constantly when i activated my eyes, i simultaneously saw what the normal eyes were supposed to see, then i saw muzan clearly while looking through the snow, then i saw him without his first layer of skin, and i saw him without the first layer of his flesh and so on.
they were like different layers of vision overlapping with each other. his strategy was utterly pointless.
i told him just that with my next attack.
"water breathing : sixth form," i pushed my sword forward in a quick stabbing motion.
"drop ripple thrust,"
i skewered the demon lord in his chest. my long sword allowed me to stab through him without getting into his attack range even with his long arms. i stabbed right through another heart and a brain.
!!!!
i noticed almost immediately how my attack never disrupted his flow of action even when it landed. this told me that he was expecting this, it was all part of his plan.
muzan's hand grabbed my blade and he did not let go even when his palm started burning from the touch. a crimson layer of blood covered his hand and then with enlarging muscles, he lifted me off my feet.
it was a strategy hidden in a smaller strategy. he displayed in full his experience that spanned over a thousand years.
releasing my sword was not an option so muzan was able to fling me towards the forest. my body sailed across the sky and even before i started falling, muzan was already running below me.
"wind breathing : third form," i spun my body, entering a beyblade state when i began falling from the sky.
when i was in a state of rapid rotation, it synched with muzan who jumped up and connected both his feet with the trunk of a tree. his body contracted like spring and he remained horizontal on the tree.
when i finally fell into the forest and fell past the top of the trees, muzan burst into action and so did i.
"clear storm wind tree!!"
my body spun rapidly, a green arc of wind blades surrounded my body and i blocked the barrage of attacks that came from all directions. muzan exploded from tree to tree, quickly changing direction and attacking me from everywhere.
he didn't bother
'not yet,' i told myself. i needed the right time to use sun breathing. if i used it now, muzan could be wary of it and i would find no openings.
but that's okay.
because what i used was not light stuff anymore either.
"thunder wind breathing,"
the introduction was done.
now let's talk.
