Left and right the Shogun’s men fell to the power of the Corpse King. No mere man could conceivably compare to the magics that fueled the Amatsukami. But still they didn’t give up or hold off their assault. Volleys upon volleys of arrows soared though the sky hitting his Avatar before falling to the ground. By now many of the remaining soldiers had revised their battle strategy trying anything to get ahead in the fight. But in that moment the Corpse King was the only combatant of consequence on the field.
We can do this, Yamato said as he lifted up two men by their legs and threw them off into a group of others causing them to fall like dominoes. They don’t even have anything that can touch us.
Don’t be too sure about that, Hayate telepathically answered drawing Yamato’s attention to the large carriage that was pulling down the path towards their estate. He's finally showing his face.
So Hiruzen wasn’t to play a bit…
It would appear so.
About fifty yards behind the last few rows of men standing before the Corpse King the Shogun Hiruzen’s coach had appeared. The two of them knee that this moment would come eventually and so it had. Their fight had gone from bad to worse in a matter of moment. Ultimately no matter the outcome Hayate had basically assured his people make the rendezvous with Lord Osiris by mid-morning. So Hayate rested a bit knowing that this would be the last of the fighting for one day. All that there was left to do was get to safety himself.
Still something made Hayate want to continue fighting.
Do it Yamato! Hayate yelled from within the Corpse King. The monster titan let out a ghoulish screech as it began to trash about. It grabbed anyone it could and began to launch them like heavy boulders towards the oncoming cart.
Right!! Yamato answered as a few of the bodies landed hard against the side of the carriage and proceeded to knock in over onto its side.
In that moment a bright light shined from within the shades of the carriage before the entire vehicle broke apart into hundreds of pieces. The debris of the carriage soar in all directions as a large man covered in a bright green aura emerged from within. Hiruzen stood before them as if they had just become something large than a thorn in his foot.
Without a word the Shogun of Akashima sprang forward faster than Hayate could see and slammed his fist hard into the gut of the Corpse King.
Hayate couldn't believe the pain he felt as all the wind was knocked out of him. Hiruzen was a strong man and his aura allowed him to move and fight at such levels even Shinsou would have problems with. He was more than strong enough to hurt Hayate even though the Corpse King and the two of them knew that. Hiruzen smiled as he saw Hayate and the Corpse King cough up a puddle of blood from his single strike.
“You thought that you could leave my court?†the shogun hissed though gritted teeth. He held the ethereal armor of the avatar firmly with his iron grasp. Hayate tried to shake free but to no avail as Hiruzen’s grip only tightened with every one of their attempts to jerk free. The young lord could feel his broken ribs begin to poke at his innards knowing that this was the reason why he lived in such fear till now.
“Now you’re going to see what it’s like to defy your master,†Hiruzen yelled as he powered up another mighty strike. His free hand began to glow with a bright green energy until he let it fly. His fist slammed into the side of the Corpse Kings jaw as it sent the avatar flying back into the side of the Amatsukami manor.
