85 Unexpected addition (1/2)

Itsuki threw the device into the air as it shredded to pieces due to the sheer pressure Itsuki was radiating. Looking at the group, Itsuki unsheathed his sword, and pointed it at them,

”Come.”

Saying this he disappeared and landed in front of Ganryu, swinging his sword at him. Ganryu was shocked but quickly defended with the sword though he was, however, sent crashing into the large pillar.

'Didn't he just say come, why is he attacking us then?'

This was like a signal as the other five made their moves,

”””””Ganryu-Sama!”””””

Jai had a pair of chakrams as weapons which he threw at Itsuki while Benin pulled out a crossbow and fired an arrow. Mue appeared next to him swinging his sword and Bau appeared behind Itsuki swinging his extremely large clubs.

Seeing the co-ordinated attack of the four Itsuki remained calm and dodged the chakrams, by doing a back flip. As Bau had swung from the top, Itsuki kicked at the incoming club while using his sword to block Mue's attack, while doing this, he caught the arrow shot by Benin and crushed it.

Bau and Mue were thrown back, as series of explosive projectiles and tendrils were hauled at him. Dodging each of them, Benin appeared with a set of chained daggers on his right while Jai was to his left swinging his chakrams at Itsuki.

Ganryu seemed to have recovered from the previous strike as he appeared behind Itsuki. Thrusting his sword forward, Itsuki swung to the side, grabbed Benin and threw her onto Jai. Jai was surprised seeing Benin rocketing towards him and instinctively went to catch her, but he was impaled through Benin with Itsuki's sword.

Ganryu watched the two being driven through with Itsuki's sword in horror, as he screamed in anguish.

”You!!!”

All that was returned was Itsuki's apathetic look as Bau appeared behind him and once more, using pure brute strength and the help of gravity, he once again struck his club downwards. Upon impact, a cloud of dust was produced covering Ganryu's vision. As the dust cleared up, there was a huge crater beneath the set of Bau's clubs but no Itsuki. A sprout of hope appeared but was instantly demolished seeing Itsuki's back behind Bau. Just then, a cut appeared on Bau's chest and blood shot out of his mouth as he collapsed.

An angry Mue appeared after seeing his comrades defeated one by one as Itsuki blocked his sword. Suddenly, Mue disappeared and appeared behind him and sent another strike.

'Trying to compete in speed?'

A small derisive smirk appeared on Itsuki's face as he also moved and reappeared in front of Mue. Surprised by seeing the captain in front, Mue swung his sword which was once again blocked by Itsuki. He didn't stop there though, he seemed to have pressed a button and another blade appeared from within. This new blade was gold in colour and extremely thin.

Itsuki didn't wait for Mue to attack once more as he drove his sword into him. Now there were only two left, Riyan and Ganryu.

Ganryu looked at Itsuki and shouted,

”Why? Why are you doing this?”

Itsuki didn't say anything and started to slowly walk towards him, just as he took a step forward, a sudden noise destroyed the atmosphere,

”Oof.”

Looking at what he stepped on, Itsuki saw the back of a certain lion plushie. He could see the sweat pouring down the giant head of the toy as he slowly lifted it up and faced it towards him. A rather normal look was on the toy as Itsuki could see the toy trying to act like a normal one.

'How did he get here?'

Ganryu and Riyan looked shocked at the toy,

”What the…”

”It just spoke, didn't it?”

Itsuki ignored the two as his gaze penetrated to toy.

”You must be the one called Kon.”

Kon twitched slightly but still tried to play it off. Moving the toy to his shoulder, Itsuki just said,

”Hold on, if you don't want to get killed.”
