[Rakasha Empire] Without giving him a chance to recover, Sato charged forward as he slashed down his empowered sword and created a blast when it made contact with Abrazim who blocked it with his hammer. Due to this explosion, all the debris around them were blown away, as the shockwave from the collision was strong enough to even crack the ground beneath them. However this time Abrazim didn't get blown away as he covered his whole body with his mana, causing his defenses to suddenly spike up to tank Sato's attack. With a slight grunt Abrazim pushed Sato back a few steps, as he quickly swung the hammer towards him, only for the latter to suddenly lounged forward to avoid getting a direct hit from the hammer and sending a straight beam at Abrazim at point blank range when he thrust his sword forward. This attack completely shattered a portion of Abrazim's mana barrier around his body, as he broke through it with pure will, before grabbing Sato by his arm and flinging him away like a toy. After Abrazim threw Sato away, he then quickly spun his hammer above him, as he clung to it tightly and slam it straight to the ground while using a type of ability associated with his hammer style. "Ground Assault!!!" In the next instant, numerous spikes surged out of the ground as it attacked Sato, forcing the latter to quickly cover his body with his own mana to enhance his defenses and countered with a fury of slashes of its own. However the assault just kept increasing in pressure as time goes on till his 25th counter, so in a quick haste, Sato immediately broke the stalemate as he ran across the field tryingto find an opening in Abrazim's attack. However just like am experienced General, Abrazim saw through Sato's intent as he increased the output of his ability and begun assaulting Sato with spikes in all direction. In response to this, Sato directly let his mana ran wild on his sword as he quickly spun around and destroyed all the incoming spikes all over the area in just one swing. After that he then looked towards Abrazim's direction as he raised up his sword and slashed it downtown create a towards him. Seeing this Abrazim inputs more mana unto his hammer as he swung it against Sato's sword wave while using another of his ability In just one collision, Sato's sword wave was shattered into million pieces, as the shockwave literally blew up the ground around him. This time using the dust and smoke that the shockwave produced, Sato managed to get close towards Abrazim as he jumped above him before delivering his attack. + = In just one attack, another huge explosion erupted as huge boulders gets flung away and even forced Princess Dyesebel and Samore into hiding behind sturdy blockage. "What the hell! Just who are these people? How can they go toe to toe against that brute?" Shouted by Samore "I don't know! This is my first time seeing them" said by the princess as she was shocked by the intensity of the fight which they never experienced. From this alone, Princess Dyesebel immediately understand that General Abrazim never took them seriously and this taste a bit bitter to swallow. However their feelings means little in this fight, especially for Sato who realized that the person he attacked was nothing but a mud decoy in a form of General Abrazim. But before he could get out of his shock, Abrazim suddenly popped out from behind him as he swung his hammer down, only to be met with pure counter slash that parried his strike to the side. With a lot on the line, Sato had no intention of losing as he quickly delivered one attack after another, leaving Abrazim to take on the defensive. However Abrazim has no intention of staying defensive all the time, so when Sato made his 12th swing, he then changed his approach as he dodged the attack and hammered down his sword to the ground. After that he then swung his armguard at him, squarely hitting his face, before he strike a kick directly to his guts and finishing it with swing from his hammer. However in that moment Sato let one of his arm go from holding his sword, as he stood his ground and blocked the hammer strike with his own arm enhanced with his own mana and protected by his own metal armguard. But despite having multiple layers of protection, the impact alone shattered the bones in his arm, causing immense pain to be transmitted all over his body. But in comparison to the trials he undergone when he is asleep, especially, the 1st stage of suffering. This pain was nothing at all. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Sato then thrust his sword forward, only for Abrazim to catch it with one hand and countered with a straight kick that sent Sato reeling from the pain. Surprisingly despite all of that, Sato stood firm to the ground, as he slashed his sword out from Abrazim's grip, and swung it back towards him. However this time General Abrazim spun around to dodge his attack as swung the hammer in a counter clockwise and squarely hit Sato's back which sent him flying forward and crash on his face. Enhancing his hammer even more, General Abrazim took a huge jump towards him and slam his hammer towards him causing a huge explosion. This time Sato never manage to block the attack, as this caused him to pass out and snap back multiple times in just a single moment. As for General Abrazim he was quite shocked that Sato was still conscious and in one piece despite his attack. However he deemed it as over, as the person himself is having a hard ime recovering. With that he leaned his hammer on his shoulder and heads straight towards Muroch in order to help him deal with his own opponents faster. But the moment he took a few steps away, he suddenly heard a grunt from behind, causing him to look back and surprisingly saw Sato standing back up from the ground. "You manage to recover from that kid?" "Where do you think your going? I'm not done with you" "Looks like I underestimated you a lot, no worries you've proven yourself more than just a brat. Be proud, your a true warrior" "Shut it! I don't need such compliments from you" With that both Abrazim and Sato charged at each other as their attacks continously collided without even missing a beat. But in the midst of that Sato was the one who managed to find an opening as he threw in an uppercut which stunned Abrazim, before he got blown away and crash to the establishments near them. "Your not the only one who know how to throw punches" With Abrazim quite a distance away, Sato sent out multiple thrust attack from afar, which caused beam like attacks to come out from his sword and assault the general himself. Due to this General Abrazim used his ability once more to create a wall infront of him in order to block the attacks. However an Earthen wall is useless against an energy attack coming from Sato at all. So with just a few ranged thrust, the wall soon crumbled, leaving the general himself to block it with his hammer. In retaliation General Abrazim then took a huge jump towards Sato as he swung his hammer towards him, only for the person himself to quickly jump back and countered with a point blank . However once more Abarazim tanked the attack as he swung his hammer towards Sato. With that Sato used to quickly reach the limit of his current self and break through from that said limit. Take note that the current Sato is far stronger than the person he was back in Tekoa town, meaning the implications of his limit break brought him to a whole new heights of strength. With the active, Sato proceeded to punch the hammer that was swung at him. In just one strike, his punch destroyed Abrazim's hammer that even shocked the general himself. But before General Abrazim could get out from his shock, Sato begun riddling with with attacks that slowly chip away his armor and mana body that served as his mana barrier. Lastly when his mana body is at the point of crumbling, Sato punched him hard straight to the face, which sent him flying and crashing through six establishments. Just like that he had finally dealt with General Abrazim, as he soon released his state in exhaustion. Even though this looks normal, the spectator Samore and princess Dyesebel Reacted differently as they can't believe that a teenage kid that doesn't look like an adult had actually manage to beat General Abrazim himself. With his age and the power he already has, his potential was limitless. For awhile both of them were speechless until Sato turned to them, approached them and said. "Its fine now! You guys can get out now" But just as both of them looked at Sato's smile while being injured himself. Another powerful explosion rung out not far away as another battle is still being drawn out till this time. On another area Inaba is currently leaning on a wall, as a huge wound can be seen on her shoulder. Apparently after foregoing ranged attacks and use of small weapons, General Muroch dealt with them using dual wielding. Not only did this made him catch up to Watanabe's attack speed, it even made him even more lethal since he is much more adept in close combat rather than ranged combat. Due to this by clear mishap she was caught off guard as the sword nearly chopped her arm off if it weren't for Watanabe swing his axe on the opposite direction and prevented from her arm being cut away. However the cut was still deep which left her unable to continue the battle. In that moment she felt like she had become a burden instead. "Damn it! That old man was right, sooner or later I would become a burden... I hate this" grumbled by Inaba as she loathed her powerless state. While Inaba is out commission, Watanabe is completely at a disadvantage as he has wounds all over his body, with blood oozing out from the open wound. Ever since General Muroch switched to dual wielding, it became hard for him to even land a single blow against him. In terms of battle IQ, he was clearly outmatched. However as a berserker class, such things was trivial and this bloodied state just makes him stronger. Without a moments hesitation Watanabe used as he amplified his power to another whole level which increased his defense and offense at the same time. With new profound strength, he suddenly became even faster as he suddenly appeared before Muroch in a blink of an eye and swung his axe towards him. Seeing this General Muroch countered with a before he swung both of his swords at him in reverse with , only for the person himself to dodge that attack and swung his axe at him in a irregular angle. Seeing this, Muroch quickly pulled back his head to avoid getting his neck slashed by an axe, before he countered with an towards Watanabe. However in response to that Watanabe simply spun around in an irregular angle and parried that attack with his other axe, before he quickly used both of his axe to block a thrust attack which Muroch sent in case his slash was parried away. Due to this, Watanabe slid a few steps away from General Muroch, before he once more jump forward and begun delivering blow after blow after blow towards him. Of course General Muroch blocked all of those attacks with ease, before giving a sudden spin kick which sent Watanabe flying himself. "Hmmm"
