Chapter twenty eight: Arriving in war

The corner of Itsuki's lips rose lightly as she sees Benji's expression, he was truly excited about returning to Amatsu, it was easy to tell that he was truly going back home, Aysu and Mai aren't excited about it, for them is an unknown place. Itsuki wonders if she should tell Benji that Junko was staking out his castle since the first rumors about him owning it reached them in their own fortress.

While Junko wasn't doing anything other than watch, based on Benji's reaction to a encounter with a clan member not saying anything might cause harm, but Junko had instructed them to not say anything about that to any outsider, and in the most technical sense Benji was an outsider, even if some of them don't think like that.

Luna can almost tell what Itsuki is thinking, it wasn't all that hard, Itsuki was even for a short time Benji's mentor, and Benji was charismatic, friendly and in the overall a good person to be with, it was hard for both of them see Benji as an enemy, being that the reason that the most aggressive interaction between them resulted only on bruises, that was also proof that Benji was quite ready to drop the enemy mark in those who he trusted before he deserted.

It sadden them to part, but Itsuki had to go to Junko and report about Luna and Saya's arrival, and she couldn't lead Benji to Junko's favorite hideout around the Silver Moon castle. While Benji walks towards his castle with his two companions Itsuki and the others move to a hidden trail that leads to Junko's observation site.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Mai couldn't help on smiling at Benji; sure she was tired from walking so much and the travel, but Benji looked happy, very different from his distant and stoic, almost cynical self during the trip. Benji was after all looking forward for returning to the Silver Moon castle, it was his home in the harsh world of Rune-Midgard, and he has much to return to there, he had actually to force himself to not just run, ignoring the two girls that follow him just few steps behind him.

However more than Benji's excitement the two girls are thrilled with the surroundings, Benji had told them that Amatsu was beautiful and how sakura petals rained down from the multitude of sakura tress planted in and around the city, but hearing the description and seeing the real thing are two totally different things.

However the beauty of the surroundings is tainted by the sound of cannon fire, though only Benji recognized it for what it was, for the two it was a mystery, and it was that sound that made Benji run, forcing the two surprised girls to chase him. They catch up with him out of breath and sweaty, even though Benji is carrying three hundred kilos on his back.

Benji grits his teeth while reaching for the hilt of his Atroce's sword. "You two hide behind that tree over there." Benji said in a tone of voice that left no place for questioning, the two now scared girls obey, looking at the field ahead of them they can see why Benji is so mad.

Volleys of grenades rain on the walls and gates of the Silver Moon castle, the defenders barely holding the advance of the enemy forces amidst the almost nonstop assault of explosives, but it was Benji drawing the massively large and heavy Atroce's sword with only his right hand with ease that truly frightens the two strays.

Without even dropping his load Benji charges to the distracted army of guilds, after all for them the enemy was inside the castle and not at their rear, with no need to be guarded, Benji was going to show them how wrong they are in not keeping a rear guard.

Running with the sword over his shoulders, almost dragging on the ground, but not touching it Benji closes in of the rear mass of mages, arches, gunslingers and priests. With a loud roar like war cry Benji brings down the massive sword in a brutal diagonal slash that easily cuts through ten enemies.

The brutally dull, but loud sound of something heavy viciously cutting the air mixed with a ferocious war cry and the despaired shrieks of terror and pain from the wounded bring the whole battlefield to a sudden halt. Both enemies and allies stare in shock as a massive red stained black blade is swung with inhuman speed, and in each swing making blood and body parts fly high in the air.

Benji once again brings down his sword on a wailing priest, the massive sword's momentum is enough to move Benji forward, or in whatever direction that he originally swung it, he didn't even had to walk to move around the battlefield spreading vicious death.

"Who is doing that?!" The attackers' guilds leaders wondered seeing the rear of the alliance army being viciously torn apart by some monstrous swordsman. "That brand!" A sniper not so far from there exclaimed, seeing with his sharp eyes what it was being ignored until then. "It is the Blue Dragon!" And the word spread quickly as everyone who heard the sniper exclaims in surprise and fear.

However for one alliance that doesn't bring fear, but joy, Atsuko could feel the news filling her body with a whole new level of energy and she wasn't the only one, it was visible in every dragon and ally there, even the distant roar of Benji's war cries seems to make them even more energetic.

Layla quickly wipes the tears from her eyes, Benji was back, she could feel it; no one else would make a whole army forget the entire purpose of the battle, as the enemy's alliance totally forgot to assault the gates. However the shock of the army ends soon and from somewhere there. "The dragon is mine!" someone shouted, and then the idea of killing Benji and being famous burns through the minds of every fighter there.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Junko watches everything in absolute terror, Benji was swinging a sword that was physically impossible for a human to swing, and he wasn't only doing it with clear ease and mastery, but he is doing massive amounts of damage. Itsuki is stunned when seeing the sight on the not so distant field, she saw Benji carrying the sword all the way to Amatsu, but she never thought that he actually could swing it like that.

Saya is also horrified and so is Yuffie, she had saw Benji fighting before but never saw anything like that. Luna in the other hand wasn't all that impressed, more than once during the trip she caught Benji training with that sword in the middle of the night, strengthening his body with its massive weight, learning how to use such cumbersome weapon.

The five girls could only wonder where Benji learned the basis for that massive sword style, not too far from there Aysu and Mai are utterly shocked, they did know that Benji was able to kill in brutal ways, but the whole level changed with that massive sword.

On the meantime Benji was actually having fun while swinging the sword, sure the thing was requiring a lot of effort, but thanks to the stats that he gained since his arrival in Rune, he wasn't only able to carry it with ease, but swing it with as much ease, sure it goes against every single law of physics that he knew, not that he knew many, just the most common one taught in school, plus some more that he learned from other sources, still he could swing that sword that by any logic it should weight at least as much as he does.

While greatswords weren't his personal favorites, Benji admitted that the massive damage that he is causing is very pleasing, screw the fact that he isn't breaking the safeties, he was still infusing enough physics on the attack to make the safety bend, he was mauling, maiming, crippling, eviscerating, roughly destroying his targets with the slashes, still he was only causing a little over four thousand points of damage, the vicious bleeding paired with the mauling was preventing any source of healing, only the safe death would ensure that his victims would return on being one piece, that after a rather slow, painful and gruesome death.

Sure his hands, arms and back are screaming with the stress of swinging the sword, it was far stronger and harder than he every practiced on the ship. 'I wonder how Gatts do it with such an ease.' Benji thought while cutting a whole paladin in half. 'Well Sano does it too, Cloud, I think that there are other overly large sword users in anime who are impossibly thin and small for the swords that they use. But fuck this is a hell of a work out.'

Scared of Benji's sheer ferocity the army quickly backs away from him in fear, opening a large clearing around Benji, several corpses and still living adventurers lie in a bloody mass at his feet, Benji looks at them almost sneeringly as uses that break to adjust his grip on the massive sword, as well to take few deep breathes, only the cries of the dying echoes on the air.

Benji could hear the distant sound of marching steps, more enemies are coming, he isn't surprised since fame seekers would attack in mass since he is after all he is on the open. Benji nails the sword on a whitesmith and on the ground, stepping on a stalker Benji leaps and stands over the bottom of the sword, he puts two fingers on his mouth and whistles loudly, over the almost silent battlefield.

The loud and sharp whistle snaps the girls out of their shock, they knew very well that Benji was doing that to get their attention, and Layla is the first to react, she pulls a pair of crusaders and quickly climbs on their shoulders to see Benji.

Benji smiled inwardly at the silver haired knight poking over the sea of adventurers, how he had missed her and the others. Benji raises his right hand, open as if he was going to use a chop on someone, then he makes a slashing motion directed to Aysu's and Mai's hideout before clapping his hands and snapping his fingers.

Layla understood the message, and before Benji leaped down of the sword she was giving orders. "Alexis, gather the faster knights and paladins that we have!" Layla shouted while jumping down from the two paladins. "Haruka I need you to take the center, Jannine you will be there too, just in case that we need extra buffs, Katia you are coming for your breakers."

"Fine but what is going on?" Haruka asked confused, far from there the battle started anew and the sounds of it reach their ears. "Taisho ordered us to charge to the tree line and retrieve someone there." Layla answered seriously, while throwing her short cape and other items that she won't need to a corner. "So we will make a run for it, break through the confused formation, get the people from their hideouts and take them back here to safety."

Haruka sighed, she lost the bet that Benji was going to return alone to the castle, but other than that she throws her needless items next to Layla's, in a maneuver like that speed is everything, she has to loose equipment. Layla instructs the knights and paladins to get shields and one hand weapons, their purpose is to be a solid wall of steel to protect the weaker core.

Haruka aims her staff to the slightly distant army, charging her now favorite mass killing technique Alabaster demon fire, after all who doesn't love a massive attack like that, that wipes out a large number of enemies. When the spells is cast and the path cleared the group charges out of the castle for the very first time in a WoE day.

Junko stares in shock as the group led by Layla run through the charred black path created by Haruka's attack, covering as much ground as they can before the enemy realizes what is going on and closes on them. The group is halfway through the field when someone shouted to the army to cut their path.

However the group wouldn't stop that easily, with shields equipped and using their speed the group moves as a battering ram, or a sword cleaving through the army, until they lost enough momentum to actually fight the rest of the way, still moving forward. It wasn't all that hard for them to do so, Katia was breaking the cast of any spell that was targeting them, the swordswomen in the edges kept Haruka, Jannine and Katia safe while they supposed them.

Aysu and Mai don't know to where to look, at one side Benji was pretty much acting as a human windmill, swinging his large sword and cleaving through countless enemies, in the other side is Layla's group that they can see that are heading straight to their direction, while not as impressive as Benji, the group was advancing fast and was closing in, disregarding the number of enemies around them.

"Don't let them break through!" A high priest shouts to his fellow guild members and allies, and just for that Benji shoots the guy with one of his pistols. "Don't let him reposition himself!" A wizard shouts in despair, Benji was firing at them while running sideways on the battlefield, moving his position to an area free of corpses so he can cover it with more corpses.

And that high wizard that had enough spirit to shout orders get shot himself, in Benji's book if someone have enough spirit to give orders that someone deserves to get killed first. Holstering the pistol Benji resumes slashing away.

Layla and the others do break through the sea of attackers; now with much ease they reach the tree line where they find Mai and Aysu. "Come with us." Layla said to them. "We will take you two inside the castle in safety." Mai nodded a bit nervous with everything, Layla was quite dirty, sweat mixes with blood and dirt on her body and armor, and it was the same with the others.

With the two strays safely shielded inside the formation Haruka prepares a second attack to clear the path, it would make entering on the castle much easier for them, plus it scares off the enemy, and a scared enemy is always good since they are more inclined to flee.

Benji flinches lightly; it was the tenth load of buckshot that impacts on his chest, only his armor prevents any real damage, but he was quite annoyed with the grenades, not enough power to breach his chest plate, but the impact of the explosions was like getting shove.

'The firepower here is disappointing.' Benji thought while dispatching a good numbers of gunslingers to hell, or just the slow death before respawn. 'In the other hand if the loads were as good as back in my world then I would be screwed, I guess that is okay that ammo here sucks big time.'

Benji sighed inwardly when noticing that his clothes were getting quite torn, sure he was back home, but he had grow fond of that outfit, he can almost swear that it moves on his own since he worn it, bled on it, sweated on it so much for so long, plus it was fresh and comfy, what else he would want on an outfit.

His annoyed/bored expression isn't missed by the enemies around him, and that only fuels the fears of them, Benji was bored, he was killing people at the dozens and he looked bored. Layla couldn't wish for better distraction, even in battle the word spread quickly, allowing her and the group to reach the castle safely.

'Well time to demoralize the enemy again.' Benji thought while pulling his third to last magazine and throwing over a group of gunslingers, then Benji fires at it making the ammo there explodes, turning the magazine along the ammo in shrapnel that causes massive damage on the gunslingers.

The horror and shock is stamped on the face of the army, Benji calmly reloads the now empty pistol, what better way to show superiority than calmly ignoring an inferior enemy in the middle of the battle.

Benji was slightly surprised in seeing that a gypsy of all people got infuriated at his gesture and advanced at him armed with a whip. Benji holsters the pistol letting the woman get closer of him, then he grabs the sword and swings it hard in his best personification of Gatts.

The upper half of the purple haired woman flies over Benji while the lower half takes a one last step forward before falling. As expected the sight terrifies the enemy even more, but Benji doesn't stop there, he presses forward and continues to cleave his way through the army, leaving a trail of blood and body parts behind him.

"It is just me or taisho looks more inhuman than usual?" Leona asked to Miura. "Just a bit." Miura answered, she too was impressed with Benji's performance, but she was from the original formation, such a feat from Benji isn't as surprising for them as it is for the second formation.

"Please tell me that you aren't drooling over there." Saya said to Atsuko. Atsuko takes her eyes away from Benji and cleans her chin, she couldn't avoid it, she haven't seen Benji for months and he is looking more appetizing than ever now that he can swing that huge sword with no visible stress. "That is so gross." Saya sighed.

"As if you aren't excited with that." Atsuko replied flatly. "At least I am not flaunting to the world to see." Saya said in a wry tone, sure it also excited her, Benji was showing a virility, strength and power that is making every female in that castle consider bedding him, those genes would be perfect to pass on with theirs.

Atsuko chuckled casually, she knew that Benji was strong and would become stronger, but he was beyond her expectancies, as any other woman there she is impressed with the display of power, it doesn't matter how some of them denied, a powerful male is desired by every female.

But Atsuko's good mood goes away when she sees a giant towering the army, it wasn't Benji with his 1.86 meters that normally towers over the shorter Rune males, the man walking towards Benji towered over Benji with at least half meter separating the two of them.

The sheer fear of that massive man is enough to make the army clear a path between him and Benji. Benji notices and looks at the man, he had to admit he was impressed, the guy is huge, Benji had faced taller people than he was in the past, most of the times they were the thin and tall type, hardly Benji ever met someone with shoulders as broad as his, and not even once someone with such a massive build.

'Okay, now that joke that Finish people calling me and my brother 'shorty' is not even funny.' Benji thought while looking at the taller and larger man. 'I knew that there were some really big people out there but this is ridiculous! He must weight at lest one hundred and fifty kilos!'

And after his time in the desert Benji was weighting modest eight two kilos, much less than the average for his height, and much less than the needed for his build as he looks thinner than ever. The guy wasn't wearing any kind of armor or protection, he is actually barely dressed with torn remains of pants, but the massive cleaver like sword on his hands is very in place there; and the guy as enough muscles and weight to wield it.

Itsuki looks at the new arrival. "That is Vana!" Itsuki exclaimed recognizing the massive man, there weren't many adventurers over one meter and seventy nine in Rune, the few that existed quickly became famous. "You mean the Barbaric Vana? The one that supposed to be the most brutal warrior of the history of Rune-Midgard that just for amusement killed not only his enemies but his own allies in a battle four years ago?!" Luna asked in horror. "That one." Itsuki replied. "According to the rumors he was supposed to be in the most desert mountains of Yuno training."

"Well he seems to be here." Junko commented while looking at the huge man, she could tell that he was powerful, maybe enough to kill Benji. "He chases after difficult battles, doesn't him?" Junko asked that based on the fact that the guy killed not only his enemies but allies one.

"Yes." Itsuki answered. "The tales say that he seeks for strong opponents, and that now not even Baphomet is much of a challenge for him anymore." Junko remained in silence, she doesn't know anything about that Vana man, but she knows about Benji, she can tell that he grew much stronger since his desertion, but she can tell that his physical condition isn't the best on that moment, Vana might just win. 'But again, Benji has few things up his sleeve.' Junko thought looking at Benji. 'He hasn't even drawn Vassala from her sheath; in a pinch he will use it.'

Benji could feel the killing intent of the bigger man, it rolled out of him like a wave, Benji faced death enough times to be able to almost instinctively tell when the enemy was stronger than he was, and boy Vana made all the alarms in Benji's head go wild. Benji nails the sword on the ground and with a venom knife he cuts the straps of his backpack.

The heavy leather container falls noisily on the ground; then Benji pulls out his cloak, ties it in one of the straps before throwing the backpack as hard as he can in the direction of a not so sneaky rogue that was trying to slip through the gate. The unfortunate rogue let out a scream while his body makes a similar sound of a cockroach being stomped.

Atsuko looks impressed at the now visible rogue; the guy was just meters away from her, with dagger in hands. "God!" Alexis exclaimed while trying to pull the pack away from the dead rogue. "This thing is heavy!" Layla and Ami moves and help the other knight.

The shock in Ami's face is visible, the pack was indeed very heavy, in the other hand Layla isn't all that impressed, she knew that Benji was very strong, plus she also could carry that, sure she would be to cumbersome to fight, but still she could lift that much weight, it was the fact that Benji fought with all that, that impresses Layla.

Benji pulls the sword from the ground, now Vana was closer than before, he can't afford to look away anymore, or Vana will land a deadly hit on him. "That was quite impressive." Vana commented with a deep and strong voice. "You can see the invisible that is a rare trait, this will be very amusing."

Benji holds the sword in a basic kendo position, pointing towards the enemy, without the backpack he would be able to move faster, but the sword will also have more effect on his body, but better movement was better in that fight.

'Damn what should I do…' Benji thought keeping his eyes on the massive opponent, knowing that one slip, one mistake and it was over, he got quite used to countering, instead of taking the first strike against stronger opponents, Vana wasn't hot headed as most adventurers.

Benji takes a deep breath, he knows that the standstill on the battle won't last much, it was just the sheer presence and tension between him and Vana that is making everyone forget the whole goal of the WoE just to watch the fight, if someone decides to attack him right then, he would be screwed.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Aren't things a bit too quiet?" Dante asked to Helen, Dante was finally out of his punishment and ready to cause more trouble after few months catching up, meaning Dante is ready to rub Benji in the wrong way and get in a fight; after all he isn't aware that Benji is missing for months. "As much as I hate to agree with you, it is." Helen replied, they are just ten meters away from the top of the little hill that leads to the field in front of the Silver Moon castle, it is a WoE day, and they should be hearing the sound of battle way before reaching that mark. A loud war cry reaches their ears, followed by a brutal dull sound of something heavy cutting the air, before the sound of heavy metal hitting heavy metal.

"I know that roar!" Dante exclaimed excited, he recognized Benji's war cry, sure it was by far louder than the ones that he heard, but was still him, and if Benji was there, then he would have fun! Helen was surprised in hearing that, she runs with Dante over the hill and is shocked in seeing Benji swinging a massive sword against a much bigger opponent.

Benji swings the sword hard and his strike is parried by Vana's massive cleaver sword, Benji pulls back and strikes down again, letting out violent war cries on each swing, sparks flies on each contact of the swords, and Vana not only blocks the strikes, he is actually dodging then and striking back, just to Benji parry the strikes and feel himself the violent strength of his enemy.

Vana and Benji trade a swift and violent sequence of blows, each strike canceling the other, the sound of metal hitting metal fills the battlefield, no one dared to move or say anything, the fight was too stunning to anyone even consider doing anything other than watch.

Seeing Vana using the massive sword with ease made sense, Vana was a giant after all, but Benji was using the sword with the same ease and swiftness, however Benji wasn't so massively build as his enemy.

Dante watches the battle with awe, it was much more than he was expecting, he knew Vana, he saw him fighting more than once and even crossed blades with him once, the man was a monster, a totally different breed of swordsman, Dante came close of dying on that time, he was saved only by sheer luck and a well placed butterfly wing that allowed him to flee, back then Dante was just a knight.

Benji was doing a good job, for everyone watching Benji was actually par to Vana, but Dante knew better, he could detect that swinging that monstrous sword is taking much of his body, but any other sword would break under the attack of Vana's Nosferatu sword, it was too big and too heavy for a regular sword to endure more than one hit from it.

But Dante noticed that Benji was with a shield firmly attached to his left arm, it was a simple guard, worn in novice style, but it was black instead of metallic gray, it was odd that Benji would choose to wear a shield covering not only his entire forearm but his left hand when using a clearly two hands sword.

Vana strikes Benji with a massive blow, Benji barely manages to block it with his shield, armor and pauldron, if wasn't for all that metal Benji's shoulder would be split open. Benji slides the cleaver to the side and hits Vana in the right side with the Atroce's sword, using all his body for strength Benji shoves/slashes Vana away from him.

Benji's left shoulder throbs in pain, the blow was massive even blocking the strike a good amount of energy transferred to him, if the pauldron wasn't there his shoulder would be history. Benji dashes at Vana and swings down his sword, if he doesn't kill that monster soon he will die, just by parrying and blocking Vana's strikes feel like his bones are cracking.

Vana dashes at Benji, this time grabbing an abandoned sword with his left hand, Benji is forced to block the cleaver, the claymore hits Benji in the chest, producing a mass of sparks when hitting his breastplate, Benji is throw back with the massive strike, Benji was never hit by a cannonball but if he had to guess Vana's off hand thrust was a just like a cannonball.

Vana runs at Benji and strikes down with both swords, Benji blocks the strikes but is pushed back by the massive opponent, Vana runs and hits the side of Benji's blocking sword with his large foot, propelling himself up while pushing Benji down at the same time.

Benji can foresee what is following; in a burst of muscular strength Benji does a back flip with sword and everything, just barely avoiding the full impact of the two swords and a massive body just where he was standing. Benji cringes as his left wrist whines in pain; it was the single support as well source of impulse to land on his feet when upside down.

He barely has time to block a second wave of attacks from Vana, but Vana does scores a good hit on Benji's upper body that sends him flying backwards. The breastplate cracked badly but soaked up the entire hit, but clearly warns that it won't endure a second direct hit.

Benji fully blocks the following hit from the cleaver, forcing his body forward and angling the sword Benji slides deep inside Vana's attack range, too deep to effectively do anything, Benji draws two venom knives with his left hand and nails them deep on Vana's left side.

The massive warrior leaps backwards, getting away from Benji's range, throwing the claymore at Benji Vana uses the opportunity while Benji dodges the projectile to pulls the two daggers from his side. Benji flinches at the next slash of the cleaver, even blocking Benji felt as if Vana scored a hit.

Benji pushes the blade upwards with a burst of strength and scores a hit on Vana's large chest, Benji presses the attack slashing hard and fast at the massive and now unbalanced enemy, Benji hated to admit but Vana was harder than everything and everyone that he had ever faced before, the guy was practically naked there and Benji's hits aren't even two inches deep!

Benji slashes away with sheer fury, he finally got on the offensive and he won't give it away so easily, Benji can't even tell what is harder Vana's sword or Vana's skin, perhaps the sword, the damn thing wasn't even dented!

Vana takes advantage of a horizontal slash that took one fraction of second too much on the return to counter, Benji raises his left arm and takes the massive down stroke with his shield and pauldron, the blow is so violent that Benji is forced to take a knee. With his shoulder and whole arm numb Benji moves sideways, prevent by few inches that the cleaver hits his head, but lands heavily on his left shoulder for the third time.

Pushed back hard Benji tightens the grip on the sword and thrusts it forward, hitting the charging Vana straight in the gut with the tip of the sword, forcing his muscles even more Benji forces the sword upwards and frontwards slashing hard, knocking the massive body backwards and up.

Benji changes the strike by now pulling the sword in a vicious down stroke, Vana barely dodges the sudden strike, he puts his large right foot over the blade holding it on the ground; he raises his sword with his right arm ready to bring it down on Benji's back.

Benji forces his body forward and tackles Vana with his armored right shoulder while lifting his sword to unbalance the other warrior even more, just barely avoiding the massive swipe of Vana's sword for being too low as the sword cuts the air just few centimeters above him.

Using the opening left by the missed strike to Benji scores a hit on Vana's right shoulder with a swift strike, following the motion Benji jumps forward, with the sword low, scoring another hit on Vana's left side, and this time throwing even more strength in the rising slash Benji pushes Vana several meters backwards.

Benji dashes closing the distance to the still unbalanced warrior and brings down his sword hard against him, but Vana recovers before the strike lands and blocks it, once again they trade violent blows, making the metal scream with each contact.

Benji puts more strength on the slash and hits hard Vana's sword, the massive blade cracks as the Atroce's blade forces its way on it. Vana forces his sword to the side locking Benji's sword with his now damaged blade, preventing Benji from pulling it back.

Pulling hard Benji sees that the blade is truly locket with the other sword, Benji stomps on Vana's right knee with his left foot, rising himself enough centimeters to hit Vana hard on the face with the rim of the shield. Benji grins and pulls on a small 'T' shaped handle.

A thunderous noise by far louder than any previous grenade cuts the air as a fireball is expelled from Benji's shield hitting Vana square in the face, Benji is pushed back by the massive recoil, it even unlocked his sword from Vana's. The massive warrior stutters backwards, with a thick cloud of smoke covering his head.

Benji cringes as his left arm is throbbing in pain, Benji nails the sword on the ground and pulls a thick cylinder from a belt bag, Benji winces while turning his left arm, with the inner part of the forearm facing up, Benji pulls a foldable bolt from a thick tube concealed under the shield, parallel to his forearm.

A thick rope of smoke leaves the now open chamber, Benji calmly places the second shot inside the still fuming chamber and locks it once again, then he pulls back on a striker, readying the weapon for a second shot. "A hidden cannon." A deep grave voice said. "Impressive. It has been years since someone wounded me this badly."

Benji now was shocked, he just fired a half kilo steel ball in point blank range on Vana's face, he used seven hundred grams of black corned gunpowder to propel the damn thing, he blew a hole in a castle wall with that load Vana couldn't just take that and be still standing!

Even Junko was stunned with horror; Benji had used his homemade grenade launcher in point blank range in the head! Not even the Lord of Death could take that and remain alive, much less after the pounding that Benji just gave to that guy.

"How many years it has been since the last time that I went berserk?" Vana mused with his face covered in blood, the steel ball resting precisely over his left eye socket. "Boy! For the first time in years my blood is truly boiling in excitement!"

Benji pulls his sword from the ground while Vana burst in red light, roaring as a beast and growing even larger than before. 'I am so fucked…' Benji thought laughing wryly while looking at the monster in front of him, gripping on the hilt even harder. 'It is not even funny…'

End of the chapter twenty eight:

Author explanation corner: (with a small rant)

Finally!! This particular WoE was and still is bothering me for months! The whole thing has being going over and over and over again on my mind for a long time! Now I am finally on it, it feels so good…

Well enough with the rant, now to the explanations.

.

.

.

.

…..

Not much to explain here, well I guess that happens every now and then, first I guess that I should explain on the slow death effect.

Benji's massive mauling killing effect: Benji isn't focusing on delivering the final death to anyone in the WoE, but he is still applying a spoonful of real world physics on his killing, that means massive sword plus speed, plus weight, plus muscle strength, plus gravity, plus any other factors that I am forgetting right now, equals massive mauling death effect (see Berserk manga for examples).

In game terms means total incapacitation of the target (victim) between the mauling and the death the victim can enter in shock because the gaping wound caused by the massive sword will bleed out, losing X percent of life points, it can't be healed or treated, the effect lasts until the target dies, when respawning the target will be incapacitated for one hour, but other than that it will be safe and sound.

Atroce's sword: In the game the sword only 200 (200 what? Fucked up weight system…) anyway disregard all the weight system of the game, it is not realistic enough to be used in a story. After cracking my head for hours trying to come up with the approximated mass of the sword I gave up, searching for good replacements, and using the image from the game (come on that is Gatts Dragon Slayer!) I looked for a suitable replacement for checking the weight.

And after more hours cracking my head (with a migraine I must add, not a nice experience) I found that based in some calculations the Dragon Slayer weights around 50 kilos (that is a lot), so based on that I placed the weight of the Atroce's sword in sixty kilos, anyone else can do the math, I am sick of advanced math for the next years, but the impact force of a sixty kilos swords moving at, at the very least, sixty kilometers by hour (maybe more) is something ridiculously big.

So the real effect on a person is not pretty at all, and that not pretty at all effect is what allows Benji to cleave through armored adventurers. And for anyone curious the Atroce's sword still holds all the original effects.

Vana: In my mind I had set that Benji would face someone much bigger than he is in that WoE, but I never thought in the name, after thinking for a while I came with that one. Since Ragnarok online is based in anime and is made in Korea, I assumed that the height of the people living there is closer to the Asian average, so tall people are uncommon, but I red somewhere that recently every newer generation is taller than the previous, and I see that it is true with the people around me (family, neighbors and others). Vana is one of the rare tall ones that pop occasionally.

I wanted to Vana be different from the average adventurer, so I made him closer of the barbarian class, a huge and feral swordsman that is closer to the inner beast, contrasting with the neat knights and crusaders, so Vana became a underdressed, overly muscular, large, tall, strong, brutal and savage bestial swordsman.

A particular characteristic is that I decided to make Vana's berserk being more drastic since he is a barbarian, saving a large explanation he turns in a mixture of Atroce, Baphomet and Eddga, become a viciously strong, huge and even more savage version of himself.

Benji's homemade grenade launcher, shield gun and the large gun used against Atroce: They are the same thing, made in the three months gap between Mana's and Shina's departure and the formation of the guild. I admit I was a military junkie and loved to learn about guns and stuff, I still know how to make gunpowder from the heart, when fourteen years old I actually understood how a pistol works and wanted to make one.

Anyway Benji made the whole thing with easy to find materials, and made the launcher a simple bolt action one shot one, easy to reload and simple to use. With a rather complex wrench, bolts and pins arrangement the handheld gun can be placed and used on a simple guard (you know the cheapest and easiest to find shield of the game).

The 'T' handle is there to activate the trigger mechanism, it is on the reach of Benji's fingers, hidden under the shield and protected from any kind of thing that could cause an accidental firing.

However using the gun like that is very stressing to the body, the shield is strapped on Benji's arm and gauntlet, so the recoil is not only felt on his entire left arm but is worse between his fingers and on the straps of the shield. If the cannon load was wrong for the weight/size of the cannon ball I apologize, but I don't own a cannon so I can't be sure of it.

Well I guess that this is it for today, if I left something out let me know and I will add in the next chapter, see you all next time.
