The Sword Deity in Tokyo

Chapter 55: Ten Seconds Of Battle

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

It was four o’clock in the afternoon when the sun hung stubbornly in the sky, unwilling to set in the west.

Inside the medical room, Kubo Yuki slowly woke up. As he looked at the unfamiliar place with blurry eyes, he was surprised. However, he quickly recovered and checked his watch to find that it was already four o’clock in the afternoon.

Sakura Kyu’s lunch break ended at one o’clock, classes began at 1.05 pm, and school was off after two lessons. So at about 3.30 pm, it was time for societies’ activities which was also around the time classes ended.

Did I sleep for an extra half an hour? Thinking of this, Kubo Yuki became anxious. As he lifted the white curtain and saw Kazuki sitting in a chair, he heaved a deep sigh of relief.

“You’re awake? How do you feel?” Hearing movements, Kazuki closed his textbook. He looked at Kubo Yuki, his tired eyes had brightened up this time, and he looked a lot more spirited.

“I feel good!” Although he had only slept for three and a half hours, with deep sleep, more than three hours was enough for him to recover. Besides, he had slept until he woke up naturally and did not have any more nightmares.

Although that was all, he was even more in awe of Kazuki.

He had basically not had any good night’s sleep this month. Yet today, the fact that he could sleep until he awoke naturally without dreaming made him cry with joy.

“Then, let’s go.” Kazuki did not linger. According to what Kubo Yuki said in the afternoon, the Tsukumogami-like blood-sucking bat had already begun to ask Kubo Yuki to supply blood once a day.

The increase in food intake indicated an increase in strength. Therefore, he had to hurry to Kubo’s house as soon as possible and look for a chance to eradicate the Tsukumogami-like blood-sucking bat.

Kubo Yuki had no opinion against that. Although he had come today because of his son but having met Kazuki, he felt that he was lucky today. However, he was also very nervous internally.

If Kazuki is not capable of fighting against the blood-sucking bat, then he will probably die on the spot, will he not? However, Kubo Yuki also knew that the Kazuki was his last hope and that he had to bet his life on Kazuki.

Today, Kazuki had initially wanted to go to the field to see the activities of the Sword Believers’ Club, but he put it aside because of this matter. Now, seeing that Kubo Yuki was awake, both of them went out of the medical room and headed straight to Kubo’s home.

Soon, the two men arrived at the Dajin Karate Dojo.

After Kubo Yuki greeted the front desk, he brought Kazuki into the dojo with him.

“Kimura!?”

“Why is this b*stard here?”

“Is he here to trouble us?”

“Should we strike first and gain the upper hand?”

When Kazuki appeared in the dojo, a few boys in the corner could not help but be surprised. There were delinquents practicing karate at the Dajin Karate Dojo in the hopes of being able to beat up Kazuki one day.

“St*pid! Didn’t you see the curator come in with him? Even if we want revenge, we’d have to wait for Kimura to be alone!”

Frankly, it had been at least half a year since they were beaten up by Kimura. Whatever resentments they had, had all been cleared up over time. Seeing Kazuki now, all that was left was only psychological trauma, and when it came to picking a fight, that was just mere talk.

Watching Curator Kubo and Kazuki disappeared before their eyes, the few of them could only watch as they did not dare to go forward. Only those who had been beaten up by Kazuki knew his savageness.

When Kazuki was led to the back of the dojo by Kubo Yuki, Kazuki’s nose slightly wrinkled as he overtook Kubo Yuki to glance around and pointed with his finger.

Upon seeing this, although Kubo Yuki was surprised, he quickly nodded and whispered, “That room is my study, the Buddha sculpture has always been on the desk. You can see it as soon as you enter.”

Kazuki nodded and said, “You just stay here, there’s no need to follow me.”

“Alright.” Kubo Yuki listened and sighed with relief. He was only mortal and did not want to participate in such extraordinary events. Kazuki headed in the direction of the study. Kubo Yuki could not help but wonder how much he should pay Kazuki if he succeeded and if he failed, what should he do?

As Kubo Yuki’s expression flashed with uncertainty, Kazuki had arrived before the study.

Without needing to sense, he knew that the Buddha sculpture inside that had transformed into the Tsukumogami was nothing good just by the persistent rotten smell of blood that lingered outside the study door.

However... the degree of reiki pollution here was far less if compared to the sports storeroom of Akichi High School. The former was insignificance in comparison with the latter.

Thinking of this, he pinched three Enchanted Talismans from his pocket and pushed open the study door. With the door opened wide and before Kazuki could enter the study, his gaze froze.

He saw Kubo Sabae slumped at the desk as a disc-sized, pitched-black bat lay on his neck. Hearing movement, the bat that was sucking blood turned its body around and gave Kazuki a full view of its appearance.

The bat in front of him was no different from other blood-sucking bats, but on its abdomen was a carving of Buddha’s head. The amiable and benevolent grin of the Buddha’s head possessed an unspeakable strangeness to it.

Immediately after glancing at Kazuki, the blood-sucking bat had apparently not come to its senses. The next moment, a yellow Enchanted Talisman exuding a pale golden light shot toward it.

Although it did not know what this was, the deadly aura coming from the Enchanted Talisman made it fear touching it! Flapping its wings, it swiftly retreated. However, before managing to fly far away, four yellow Enchanted Talismans swarmed around it from all directions.

During the lunch break, Kazuki had already gotten some information from Kubo Yuki. This blood-sucking bat had its own consciousness. It wasn’t another Multi-armed Demon which recklessly ate his Enchanted Talismans.

This was also the reason why he wanted to practice the skill of kendo. The Enchanted Talisman was an inanimate object. As long as there was consciousness, it was avoidable. Therefore, the Enchanted Talismans could only be used as an auxiliary means, only his own personal strength was real power.

So the first Ghost Expelling Talisman was just a cover, and the four Spirit Stabilizer Talismans that came after was the real killer move. Although the blood-sucking bat could not sense the lethality of danger just now, there was a great sense of oppression.

However, before it could manage to react, it was already too late! After barely avoiding two Enchanted Talismans, the other two Enchanted Talismans had stabilized it, pinning it in place. The blood-sucking bat turned frightened, and with a sharp childlike voice, it said, “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me! I have a lot of good things...”

Kazuki was expressionless. At this time, he was already close by with the Sun and Moon Sword pulled out and felt the little guy’s strong desire to fight. He went with this mood, and in a single blow, he struck the blood-sucking bat.

This blow had no skill whatsoever to it, but the present Tsukumogami no longer could move. The Spirit Stabilizer Talismans were of little use on the Multi-armed Demon of Akichi High School, but only because the opponent was too strong.

This opponent was a special case.

The present Tsukumogami before him had potential that belonged to the era before the recuperation of reiki.

As for what the opponent said, he decided to ignore it.

It was best not to talk to creatures whose nature was evil. This was an experience that had come from countless bloody lessons that the people of the former Combat Section had endured.

The blood-sucking bat knew that it could not escape and its heart was filled with resentment and hatred. The next moment, both its eyes emitted two rays of red light that instantly invaded Kazuki’s body. Kazuki could not evade it and felt the blood within his body bubbling and spiraling out of his control, gradually flowing in reverse.

Snap!

The sword split the blood-sucking bat in half, but he didn’t manage to catch the green light that fell out of its belly.

After dispersing the evil inside his body, the bubbling blood in Kazuki’s body gradually calmed down.

From pushing open the door until the present moment, in only ten seconds, the battle had already ended.
