The Meeting
A few days have passed since the battle at Heaven City. Emperor Ainz on his ship tried to tan his bones only wearing a pair of shorts and a pair of sunglasses. It was a futile effort but who wouldn't try to enjoy a cruise.
(I must plan a way to deal with 4 major problems. That guy who looks like me, the political system in the east continent, relocation of the elves and finally Albedo.)
"Emperor Ainz do you mind putting sunscreen on my body." Said Shalltear
Emperor Ainz looked to the right to see Shalltear laying down on a towel with her top off showing off her naked back.
(Make that 5 problems.)
"How about me my beloved Ainz." Said Albedo
Ainz then looked to the left and saw Albedo doing the same thing. Emperor Ainz looked towards the ever-expanding ocean ignoring the two of them. Aura and Mare ran up beside Ainz wearing one piece bikinis including Mare. Aura wore an orange one piece swimsuit while Mare wore a pink one. The sight of the two adorable dark elves made Ainz emotions be suppressed heavily.
"Emperor Ainz play with us please!" Said Aura
"Please Emperor Ainz!" Said Mare
(How can I say no to these two cute kids.)
"Of course, go right ahead and I'll be right behind you." Said Emperor Ainz
Aura and Mare began to run towards a pool located on the deck and proceeded to jump in. The dark elf maids followed Aura and Mare trying to place floaties on their arms. Albedo and Shalltear saw this and ran inside to pick an ideal bikini for the situation. Ainz ignored the two and walked over to the edge of the ship.

(Guardian Enri, how is the dragon ride and how are your troops handling the sea?)
(They are doing fine besides a few upset stomachs. My husband is conducting experiments with sea materials and my little sister is writing a book of the journey.)
(That's good to hear. Notify me if anything occurs.)
(Yes, Emperor Ainz.)

(Demiurge, how is our guest doing in Narazick.)
(I have gotten reports from Neuronist experiments, but it is quite confusing.)
(How so?)
(His body has been healed but it continues to rot. The explanation he has given us is that his power is overwhelming his body.)
(I see so maybe there is something inside of him giving him power.)
(Nothing yet Emperor Ainz. He is just a normal human from what we can tell from our experiments. We shall continue till we find something of importance.)
(How about the curse on Momons glove?)
(It was a powerful spell and sent to pandora actor for further testing.)
(What have we learned so far?)
(We have learned that the forgotten gain more power overtime but need a new host to contain said power or to continue their lifespan.)
(What about art's.)
(The Forgotten can only use the hosts body art nothing else, but 6 said more bodies consumed means more the types of art's it can use.)
(So, if he is beaten Nabe could gain all her skills.)
(Yes, Emperor Ainz.)
(This is quite a troubling foe we have discovered, what about the imposter and his elites?)
(What we learned from 6 was that he was around lvl 70 so Momon could have beaten him without using his martial arts, but the jade king is around lvl 80. The imposter and his elites are much stronger so they will be around 90s to 100.)
(We can fight them but given their description they seem to be completely the opposite of us.)
(The imposter and his men shall pay for making himself take Emperor Ainz appearance.)
(Of course, they will but we need more information before we can plan an effective attack.)
(Yes, Emperor Ainz we shall double our efforts on 6, but Emperor Ainz without more test subjects we won't be able to learn much. We shall continue without fail though.)
(I know Demiurge but we need a reference point so go to the library and retrieve General Chills Game Encyclopedia and research anything that could aid us.)
(Yes, Emperor Ainz but where should I start?)
(I would start on overlords, we cannot rule out the possibility that he another of my kind.)
(Of course, Emperor Ainz.)
(Research his elites as well as any lore in the book including anything that could describe these forgotten.)
(Yes, Emperor Ainz.)
(Notify me when you have something.)
(Yes, Emperor Ainz.)
Message end
"Another overlord will be quite problematic, but he can be dealt with." Said Ainz
"Emperor Ainz my love, how do you like my bikini?" Said Albedo
"What about my bikini Emperor Ainz?" Said Shalltear
Ainz turned around to see them both wearing a few strings to cover up their important parts. Ainz emotions were heavily suppressed in repeated succession.
(I really wish I had a living body.)
"They look great on you two so let us go enjoy the pool." Said Ainz
"Yes, Emperor Ainz!" Said the two
Emperor Ainz entered the pool with his guardians. He looked around to see Sebas and his family enjoying the view on the boat. Ainz felt a warm feeling in his bones but some sadness lingered on his back. Albedo sensed this and held his arm giving him a warm smile to ease his worry.
"Albedo let go of Emperor Ainz!" Said Shalltear
"Why? We even share a bed now so this shouldn't be anything." Said Albedo
"What! You only get to lay on his bed because I'm serving our Emperor orders unlike you. You big mouth gorilla!" Said Shalltear
Albedo got in Shalltear face, Aura and Mare swam over pulling Ainz away from the fight. They started throwing a beach ball around.
(This is going to be a long trip.)
Eastern continent
The forces of the Empire made their way to the neutral territory between the borders of gold and onyx kingdom. The trip was shorter than expected as flight magic was used to arrive at Dragon City. The kings of onyx and gold kingdom have arrived due to Lord AoI, Lord Akio, Lord Wen and Lord Aki so they are now awaiting these seekers to arrive.
Team Darkness and company have arrived at the city or rather a fortress. The kings made this city to defend their land against the forgotten but due to recent events it becomes a political stage for the future of the east and west relationship but especially the survival of the east continent.
Team Darkness was stopped at the gate by a unity of gold and onyx kingdom troops. Team Darkness didn't want to deal with this.
"Is this going to be a constant thing to prove ourselves? Just please step aside if you won't then I'll make it so that you'll eat through a straw for the rest of your life." Said Momon
The guards can felt his overwhelming pressure by the cold chill running up their spines but they stood their ground. Viper and Mountain covered in battle scars walked up to them and made them step aside.
"Sir Momon allow us to lead the way." Said Viper
"We ow our lives to you lot so please allow us to aid you in any way possible." Said Mountain
Team Darkness agrees. The two combat forces protect team darkness and the adventures as they make way to Lord Akio section where the other adventures are.
"Ren, do you smell any assassins hiding nearby?" Said Evileye
"No, I do not. We should be fine till they start moving at night. They're not brave enough to attack in daylight." Said Ren
"They won't attack if we have Viper and Mountain's support or they would have to deal with their own nations. Their warriors will even protect us due to our actions." Said Nabe
"Either way stay on guard." Said Momon
Team Darkness arrived at Lord Akio's section outside the fortress to see Lord Wen with Yuki beside him. Lord Wen turned to see Ren coming around the corner.
"You little brat! How dare you show your face after what you did to my niece!" Said Lord Wen
"Ah crap!" Said Ren
Ren and Silver got ready to run but Nabe summoned roots trapping the two ensuring they didn't leave.
"You damn Mage! Let me go! Momon please help me!" Said Ren
Momon tried to help but Nabe and Evileye gave him a cold stare making him walk away from the situation. The adventures tryed not to look Ren in the eye as Lord Wen walked towards him with Yuki in hand. Lord Wen got up close to Rens face. Lifted Yuki onto Silver facing Ren with an aura ready to fight.
"Please accept my deepest apologies for chasing you away and please forgive my niece rude behavior as well."
Lord Wen and Yuki bow to Ren
"It was an accident I swear...wait what?"
"I hope you can forgive my rude behavior for trying to kill you. I hope you can find it in your heart to take my niece into your protection and make children." Said Lord Wen
Yuki grabs Ren by the hand and places her head in his chest. Nabe and Momon were confused at the scene before their eyes. The last time they were wanted dead or alive but Lord Wen is on his best behavior. Lord Akio steped in to explain the situation.
"When left to aid Sir Momon I asked the adventures left behind some questions and they gave details about the western continent especially Team Darkness which in turn I told Lord Wen." Said Lord Akio
"With the information given to me I was rude to get in between the blossoming love of these two." Said Lord Wen
"I'm still very confused." Said Ren
"Woof." Said Silver
"Well when we arrived at Lord Wens home he attacked us and was quite easily defeated by the adventures. I explained how you three are the strongest in your lands and wealthiest so his mood changed quite quickly." Said Lord Akio
(He's quite a suck up.)
"So, this is all some sort of ploy to get his daughter to marry me and get access to my money and protection." Said Ren
"Yes, Sir Ren." Said Lord Akio
"I don't care if it is a ploy because Ren promised me to take me." Said Yuki
Ren felt a cold chill down his spine as Momon and Nabe got angry behind him.
"I promised her to take her to her grandfather, nothing else." Said Ren
"That better be the only promise you gave her!" Said Nabe
"It was!" Said Ren
"Why are you hugging her back?" Said Lord Wen
Ren looks down to see he has Yuki in his arms and slowly caressing her hair. He let go and slides over the sit on Silver back legs.
"I thought I was petting Silver." Said Ren
"Woof, woof." Said Silver
"You stay out of this! I didn't ask for your opinion!" Said Ren
Evileye walks up too lord Wen and introduces herself as his boss. The two immediately become friends and begin discussing political plans.
"I'm Evileye von Momon, I'm the Guildmaster of the adventures so I'm Rens boss. We should talk about him if you're so interested."
"Please follow me to my quarters. We have a lot to discuss about especially the flowers that'll be used at the wedding." Said Lord Wen
"I would prefer lotus flowers." Said Yuki
"That's a good idea Yuki. It'll be the first wedding between our nations and make peace relationships go much more smoothly." Said Lord Wen
Evileye looked at Ren with her mask on and he could feel the evil grin under it.
(I'm going to be the first coin in the pot.)
"I agree. Lord Wen let us discuss matters till the conference begins." Said Evileye
The two walk away with Yuki in tow. Nabe walked by dispelling the roots and giving him a piece of paper that said she accepts the wedding invitation and she was willing to become maid of honor. Ren tears up into tiny pieces and starts pulling her ears. Momon picks up the two and pull them apart.
"Enough you two, Silver take Ren to meet the other adventures and secure the elves while we walk around with Viper and Mountain." Said Momon
"Woof."
Silver grabs Ren by the collar and walks away deeper into the camp. The elves follow Ren with the adventures as well. Momon and Nabe leave with Viper and Mountain to examine their new allies. The group begins walking around the camp seeing adventures greet Momon and Nabe with awe struck eyes. Nabe and Momon shake their hands and offer advice when asked to aid their fellow adventures. Mountain and Viper feel more like guards protecting royalty than warriors.
"I hope they can help us and end this war." Said Viper
"Do you have fields to tend?" Said Mountain
"I do, I was a mere framer before the war. I grew apple trees on a hill. I had a peaceful life than I got into this mess and became the Viper."
"I understand your life, I was a toy maker and I enjoyed seeing children laugh as they played. I had a shop that had many children running around playing with one another. One day I wanted a child, but this mess made me close my store and see children warm eyes have gone cold."
"Don't worry my friend, once this is over we can open a toy shop with an apple shop as well."
"That would be quite the retirement. I agree with your proposal when we win, so survive."
"Same to you my friend."
The two bow to etch their names on each other weapons sealing the deal. Bells begin to ring throughout the fortress.
"What's happening?" Said Momon
"Seems like the kings are ready to see you." Said Viper
A few minutes later the group reunites at the main hall of the fortress.
"Everyone better be on their best behavior." Said Evileye
"No problem." Said Ren
"How's my makeup, Momon?" Said Nabe
"Good as always." Said Momon
"You two have gotten really into the whole couple thing but please wait till we return to the Empire until you do stuff like that." Said Evileye
"Yes Guildmaster." Said Momon
Horns pierced the air as three decorative boxes entered the courtyard. The boxes were each held by 10 men and they had the rulers of each kingdom inside. The rulers enter the main hall then the remaining nobles of the kingdoms enter the courtyard. They walk with their personal guards beside them and there were only 20 nobles for such vast lands. Ren spotted lord Akio and began to wave. Lord Akio ordered Kenji to go to Team Darkness.
"Hello mast...sir Momon, and everybody." Said Kenji
"Hello Kenji did, you kindle your love for Lord Akio?" Said Ren
Nabe whacks him over the head.
"Stop embarrassing him already!" Said Nabe
"Don't answer Kenji just escort us in." Said Momon
"Yes, Sir Momon!" Said Kenji
Kenji lead everyone into the main hall. The three rulers sat at the end of the hall with their nobles standing on the sides. The gold king was very old with every hair turned gray and his eyes no longer worked. The onyx king is a strong young man that has a piercing gaze with many scars from his battles. The new jade king was a middle-aged man that that looked in his hand ignoring the event in front of him. Everyone began to stare at them expect those who had been aided by them. Only 50 adventures were inside while the rest are outside. Kenji leads them to the end of the hall in front of the gold king and kneeled down in front of the kings.
"Honorable King Kanmuri, I am Kenji the protector of Lord Akio. I have brought you Team Darkness of Sir Momon, Lady Nabe and Sir Ren with their Guildmaster Evileye."
The king waves his hand making Kenji walk to the side.
"You call yourselves seekers so what do you seek?"
"We seek peace between our nations and to aid you in defeating the forgotten." Said Momon
"Sorry repeat that again after you have kneeled to me. You are not my equal, you are merely messengers so kneel."
The king's wait for them to kneel but Team Darkness and Evileye just stand there like stone statues. The gold king asks them again to kneel but again they don't move.
"Why don't you kneel don't they teach you manners in your land?" Said Kanmuri
"They do but we only kneel to the Emperor... if we feel like it. We are Team Darkness we represent the heart and soul of the Empire so if we bow. It would be like betraying our own people." said Momon
The Kanmuri nods and allows them to stand. The onyx king stands and walks towards Momon. A large man that can look eye to eye.
"Are you strong warriors?" Said Brynhild
"We are." Said Ren
"I wasn't talking to you boy." Said Brynhild
Ren jumps towards the man but Momon caught him before he could do anything.
"Let me go and I'll show this boy how to respect his elders." Said Ren
"Ren, you know you can't so please behave." Said Momon
"Did I hurt the baby's feeling?" Said Brynhild
Ren begins swing his arms and legs trying to hit the man but his short body wouldn't allow it. Brynhild began to laugh at the sight but he forgot one thing, Silver. Silver walked behind him biting off his belt allowing Brynhild pants to fall off. Everyone begins to laugh at Brynhild.
"Having big feet doesn't always mean big soldier." Said Nabe
"What do you mean and why is everyone laughing?" Said Brynhild
"I would look down if I were you." Said Ren
Brynhild looked down and saw that he lost his pants. He loses his balance trying to pick them up. Some of Brynhild guards ran over helping him hide his embarrassment.
"Enough!"
The new jade kings voice roars through the hall.
"Brynhild and Kanmuri enough of your games."
Brynhild returns to his seat and Kanmuris kind face turns stern. The three unleash powerful Ki that it visible to them. Team Darkness seems unaffected by their overwhelming power.
The new jade king stands getting everyones attention.
"I am king Daichi of the jade kingdom. I have taken kingship from my father. I shall lead negotiations between our two lands. Who shall lead for you?"
"I never enjoyed politics so up to you Momon." Said Evileye
(Of course, it comes with the job.)
"I shall lead negotiations between our two lands."
"Why have you come to this land?" Said Daichi
"To bring peace between our two lands." Said Momon
"Why did you attack Sir Aki?"
"He was rude to one of my companions so she beat him for his rude behavior."
"I find that highly unlikely since she is hiding her identity. So, if you please, remove your disguise so I may speak with you."
(How did he know?)
Nabe removes her disguise showing everyone her elf features. The people in the room begin to hate Nabe.
"I understand why she hide her appearance but that doesn't matter now since she isn't of this land, so any ill will towards her shall be punished by me." Said Daichi
"Thank you for your act of kindness." Said Nabe
The crowds hate disappeared with his command.
"You say you want peace but you have taken the elves of this land as prisoners of war. We want those elves to pay for their treachery." Said Daichi
The crowd begin the yell at Team Darkness. The people want death for the elves.
"We cannot allow that since we freed the elves from the forgottens hands. They have agreed to live under our banner so they are under our protection." Said Momon
Brynhild stands addressing Team Darkness.
"They had a choice to fight or become slaves so they chose to become slaves. I want the elves to pay for their sins for killing many of my men!"
"We understand your pain but we cannot allow the elves to be killed or harmed while under the Emperors protection." Said Momon
"Everyone here wants Elven blood spilled but if you deny us these talks will end!"
Nabe anger raises but Momon places his hand on her shoulder to calm her down.
"Listen everyone, a foe stronger than the forgotten has appeared and is waiting for our Emperor to arrive. You have mere months to build your armies to fight but if you continue down this path and want to fight us you'll be killing yourselves for nothing." Said Momon
Kanmuri raises his hand to speak
"I agree with his ideals, we have barely enough to fight a war against the forgotten but with the elves and this emperor on the same side we'll definitely lose. I want my people to survive so I shall not hold any ill will towards the elves."
"Thank you very much your majesty." Said Nabe
"I have some conditions that I want placed on the elves and this should ease tension between everyone."
"What are they?" Said Momon
The elves shall be under your banner so any problems shall be dealt by you
They shall share any knowledge and weapons to our people
When this is over they shall leave to your lands and never return home
"We agree to those terms but the elves may not." Said Nabe
"It doesn't matter what they say, they are in your care." Said Kanmuri
Momon pulls out a crystal and crushes it allowing the Elven queen to appear in front of them. The people begin to draw swords to kill her but Daichi moves his hand making everyone suppress their murderous intent. The Queen stands before the three kings.
The elf queen is a young adult but for an elf she could be over hundreds of years old. She has white dress with short silver hair.
"I'm Queen Lele of the Elves, I have come to speak on the behalf of my people. Will you hear my voice?"
"Yes, I allow it." Said Daichi
"Thank you, your majesty, We the elves shall obey the conditions placed upon us and go to the western continent. We know we caused great harm to you all but I had my reasons. We shall aid our brethren on the battlefield against the forgotten and leave our homeland."
"If you're willing to leave and give us your knowledge then we shall not pursue this matter further." Said Daichi
"Thank you, your majesty." Said Lele
Some Adventures came to escort her out of the building. (What happened when I was unconscious? Why is she willing to leave?)
"Onto another matter regarding your Emperor. Is it true that he is a monster?" Said Daichi
The adventures want to fight hearing them call their ruler a monster. Momon and Evileye signal them not to move.
"Your highness please refrain from calling our Emperor a monster. We will take great offense for hearing such words." Said Momon
"I understand but is he an undead." Said Daichi
"Yes, he is." Said Momon
The crowd begins to speak amongst themselves hearing such a fact.
"Why would you follow your emperor with such loyalty if he the enemy of the living." Said Daichi
"He a supreme being not just an undead. He fought against our enemies and saved many lives throughout our history. He is our Emperor eternal showing us true peace till end of time." Said Momon
The adventures cheer hearing Momon speech about the Emperor.
"If you think so highly of him then we can assume he'll be true to his word of peace." Said Daichi
"Yes, if not I'll put a blade in him myself. That is the duty of Momon and Team Darkness."
"You would be willing to kill your own Emperor?" Said Daichi
"We represent the heart and soul of the Empire, we represent the people so if he harms the people we shall kill him. This deal was made by the first Momon with the Emperor and continued to this day."
"Understandable but one more matter for todays meeting. King Kanmuri this issue belongs to you." Said Daichi
"The granddaughter of my friend shogun Lauxs is currently betrothed to that beast person over there, is it true?"
"Well... yes, but it was Lord Wens idea." Said Ren
"Well if my friend won't interfere with the marriage then I won't as well. I warn you if you break her heart, I'll break your legs. King Daichi please continue."
"I understand, let us continue this discussion tomorrow so we can speak with an open mind and review everything today, but I wish to see your battle prowess before the end of the day."
Daichi claps his hands and five warriors walk out from the crowd standing before Team Darkness. The three kings leave and so do the crowds. Evileye orders the adventures to leave the building and so does Evileye. The five warriors stand before Team Darkness.
"Hello again Nabe, do you want to share a drink with me." Said Ryu
"No thank you because my man here won't like that." Said Nabe
Momon pulls out his swords ready to fight.
"I'm getting jealous but she was never my type." Said Ryu
"Shall we introduce ourselves." Said Momon
"I'm Ryu of the dragon talons."
A large jade warrior walks forward then a small boy walks behind him. The warrior a solid green color and wields a large axe.
"I'm Mika and this it Orin we are the dragon body."
A young teen then walks forward with a bow in hand and a large great bow on his back. The teen had a mask of a demon hiding his face.
"I'm Rin of the dragon eyes."
A man with short hair wearing a white robe and a samurai sword didn't speak nor did he open his eyes. The man turned around and sat against the wall.
The last man bows and walks away as well. He sat against the wall beside the other man. He has no weapons just golden armor and his long black sleek hair. The two-start having a cup of tea together.
"Hey why aren't, you two going to fight?" Said Rin
"It'll be a fair fight 3 vs 3 and judging by their Ki they are extremely powerful so I want to fight them on equal terms."
"I agree as a warrior, I wish to fight them in their best condition."
"Well don't blame us if we beat them." Said Ryu
"If you beat them."
The three dragon parts begin to take an offensive stance ready to fight.
"Ok let us begin!" Said Ryu
"Full power lets end this quickly." Said Momon
"It has been awhile since I heard those words." Said Ren
"Finally, I was hoping for a warm up since I been bed ridden this entire time." Said Nabe
[will of the first]
Momon warrior spirit began to explode outwards increasing his power. The red aura begins to consume Momon.
"Seems like I'm fully healed." Said Momon
"My turn." Said Nabe
[Queen of lightning]
Lighting flows through her body making her become lighting itself.
"The best for last." Said Ren
Ren pulls out a vial of blood and begins to drink it. He drinks half of it and gives the rest to Silver.
"LETS DO THIS!"
Supreme wild magic
[Rage of Dragons]
Silver lets out a hellish howl and the two begin morphing their bodies. Ren begins to grow into 7ft humanoid tiger with his lance morphing into a Scythe. Silver fur turns red as blood growing hard and spiky, silver eyes go red with bloodlust. Silver body grows 30% larger.
"Who shall be beaten near death first?" Said Ren
"Insane...how can you three be this strong? ...This is preposterous!" Said Ryu
"I'll take the big green guy, Nabe take Ryu, and Ren take the little one so bring your strongest arts and fight us." Said Momon
Art
[nature fighter]
Ryu body turns into various elements of nature. His legs have become wind, his arms into fire, his chest into earth, and his head of water.
Art
[the lost]
Rin's body turned into mist covering the hall ensuring no one can see past their own hands.
Art
[soul connection]
The jade warrior pulls out two red strings and the strings fly into Ryu and Rin entering their bodies. Power flows into the jade warrior and outwards to Rin and Ryu.
"Now its a fight." Said Momon
Momon rushes forwards towards the jade warrior. The jade warrior slashing towards Momon but he blocks the attacks and swings with his other sword cutting deep into his chest. Momon expected blood to fly out but nothing came out. The jade warrior was a green golem at this moment.
(Doesn't seem like I have to hold back.)
The jade golem kicks Momon away and runs after him to continue the fight. Momon increased his speed making him extremely difficult to hit. The jade golem just swings wildly trying to hit Momon but every swing was a miss allowing Momon to hit him slowly breaking him down.
Nabe using her staff flowing with electricity swung at Ryu trying to overwhelm his different elements with her more single more powerful element. Nabe is using refined techniques to keep the pressure on Ryu preventing him to go on the attack.
(This woman from being was a sage. She is extremely well trained in close combat.)
Ren is currently on the hunt trying to find Rin in her fog body. Arrows fly trying to hit him but as soon as it was released from the bow he could hear it and avoid the attack. Ren and Silver can go towards the sound chasing their prey.
"Circle attack!" Said Momon
Nabe shoots a lightning attack into the ceiling disrupting Rin's fog ability allowing her to be seen. Silver jumps into the air trying to bite her but she uses her bow to block the attack. Silvers weight brought her down onto the ground knocking her unconscious. Ren appears behind the jade golem stabbing through his chest and with a strong push he cuts the golem in half. Momon jumps towards Ryu pinning him under his swords allowing Nabe to shoot lightning at Ryu breaking up his elemental body. Ryu, Rin, and the golem were defeated in matter of seconds.
"Seems like it is our turn my friend."
"Seems so, I'll handle the sage so you can have the other two."
"Seems fair."
"Hey, what are you two talking about. We beat three of your members with ease. You think you two can take us three at full power?" Said Ren
The man in white walks towards Ren
"Let me introduce myself I'm the dragon mind, Oda Nobunaga."
The other man walks towards Nabe
"I'm the dragon heart, guan yu."
The two allow their Ki to explode outwards and Team Darkness and prepare for battle. Oda draws his sword and vanished from sight appearing behind Ren.
(What I couldn't sense him at all?! Who is this man?!)
Ren tries to block the attack but he was too slow he can see the blade slowly coming closer to cut him in half, but Momon was able to block the attack.
"You're quite fast to block my attack."
"Thank you for the compliment. How about just fighting me since my will to fight is on fire." Said Momon
"If your friend doesn't get involved then I agree." Said Oda
"Ren stand down he is someone you can't beat even I don't think I can win." Said Momon
"Fine Momon but don't lose or the first Momon will come and haunt you." Said Ren
"I won't." Said Momon
Ren walks away sitting beside Silver watching the fight. Oda stands before Momon taking a bow and readies himself for the fight. Momon bows in return and readies himself for the fight. Momon stares at him waiting for an opening to attack but the man has no openings.
(I can feel my heart beating uncontrollably just by facing this man. I must defeat him!)
Momon flies forward swinging both of his swords trying to entrap the man but the man simply walks passed cutting his back. Momon takes no damage but his armor has been cut. Momon is shocked that he couldn't see the attack.
"Your armor is quite thick seems like I have to put more force into my blade." Said Oda
"Even at my body's full potential and no mental blocks I can't keep up with you. I may lose here but I have to win." Said Momon
Oda slowly walks towards Momon with his eyes closed. Momon stands his ground waiting for the attack. Momon blinks and Oda appears before him and Momon backs up trying to gain space but Oda appears behind him slashing him in the back. Momons thick armor protects him from a lethal attack. Momon swings trying to hit him but Oda disappears. Momon looks around not being able to find him.
"I'm over here." Said Oda
Momon turns around and gets cut again in the chest. Oda can't pierce Momons armor but it does have it weak points, Oda merely found where they were. Oda walks around Momon sensing Momon trying to find a weak spot.
"Oda, do you find me to be a weak opponent since you have not once opened your eyes." Said Momon
Oda stops and opens his eyes. Momon is shocked that the man has no eyes.
"I removed my eyes because I couldn't find peace in the light but in the quiet darkness I was able to find balance and peace. I became one with the ground beneath my feet and the air I breathe."
"Seems like I was an impatient boy to fight you but I have seen the way to defeat you." Said Momon
Momon removes [will of the first] and takes a deep breathe. Momon places his swords into the ground.
"I'm Momon the 3rd, The first Momon was a noble man with a kind heart, and strength that defended the innocent and weak. He protected the weak and ensured the Empires birth and survival till end of time! Those traits shall be forever passed down the Momon line. The second Momon was a man that brought unity during our time of loss. The love for his fellow man brought us together creating the Empire where everyone can live together in peace. The skills and the leadership of the second shall be forever passed down the Momon line. I'm the third and I have inherited those traits and I will ensure the Empire continues into future with the resolve to never lose!"
"Such Resolve Momon! I have heard your warrior spirit and feel it throughout my bones! I shall honor your spirit, your resolve till I die!" Said Oda
Martial art skill
[weapon master]
Momon pulls out different weapons out of his cape throwing them into the ground surrounding them both: Swords, spears, halberds, lances, daggers, and rapiers.
"You made peace with the dark so you don't fear death but you accept it. You're a man that welcomes it yet won't allow it." Said Momon
"I fear death but I fear living a perfect balance between life and death." Said Oda
Momon lifts his swords and throws them towards Oda. Oda merely walks to the side avoid the attack. Momon rushes forward picking up two spears and begins to attack Oda. Oda avoids the attacks with ease but he walks into a sword making him lose balance. Momon thrusts his spear to hit Oda but he parries the attack avoiding injuries.
"Now I can defeat you because I have seen a fatal weakness in your technique. You can see me because of Ki but you cannot see the weapons that are all around you till I have touched them. A warrior of your skill shouldn't have tripped over a motionless weapon."
"Excellent Momon the 3rd, let us continue till we can't move!" Said Oda
Momon drops his spears onto the ground and runs forwards picking up a saber and a rapier. Oda draws his sword running towards Momon. The two clash with sparks coming off their blades. Momon keeps him at a distance with his saber and uses the rapier to defend himself. Oda sword technique and footwork allows him to avoid any attacks but Momon picks up a different weapon every minute to confuse Oda and change the layout of the weapon zone. The two clash nonstop trying to gain the upper hand. The warrior spirit of the two become intense and winds begin surrounding them. Momon performs a downward slash with one weapon and a thrust with another. Oda blocks the attack for the first time instead of avoiding. Oda stamina is declining while Momon stamina is never ending. Oda takes the impact and he slides backwards and kicks up wooden boards as he tries to stop moving backwards. Oda stops and tries to move but he got caught on Momons original swords.
(What?! He wasn't trying to hit me but he was laying out a trap for me. This entire fight was a distraction to lure me here! I will not lose!)
Oda tries to free himself but Momon picks up some daggers throwing them at Odas feet making sure he doesn't move. Momon picks up spears locking his legs.
(I can't free myself!)
[will of the first]
Momon runs at full speed towards Oda. Momon goes for a wide left hook to punch Oda but Oda blocks the attacks.
"I win, Oda! You're a man of balance but I made you lose that balance!" said Momon
Momon opens his hand grabbing Odas sword removing it from his hand and Momon swings with his right hand. Oda tries to block it with his hands but Momon overwhelming strength break both his hands and continues towards his face. Momon punch connects with Oda face the impact makes a gale force wind appear from the impact and knocks Oda backwards sending him through the wooden wall till he hits the stone walls of the fortress. A crater of formed around Oda as he remains their unconscious.
(I have lost to a worthy opponent; this loss shall make me stronger the next time we fight.)
(An honorable loss to an honorable man. I'll be honored to fight beside him in battle.)
Momon collapses on his knees as he was exhausted from his fight even with the item that negates negative effects. Ren walks up to him in his tiger form handing him a bag of popcorn.
"You want some? It was a good fight." Said Ren
"No thanks, hey Ren were you able to see his sword throughout the fight?" Said Momon
"Most of it, but Silver was able to keep up." Said Ren
"How many times did he cut me?" Said Momon
"Hey Silver how, many cuts did you see?" Said Ren
"Bark woof." Said Silver
"Wow really, Silver says you got cut 100 times. I only saw 60." Said Ren
"I only felt 25 cuts. If I didn't have this armor I would have lost. When he wakes up I'll tell him it was a draw." Said Momon
"If you do that it'll hurt him, let him accept this loss so he'll be better next time." Said Ren
"Your right which is a rare thing." Said Momon
"Shut up, I can be good at this emotional stuff too but it's just a pain." Said Ren
"Hows Nabe doing?" Said Momon
"Don't know. they flew into the sky a while ago and are still fighting."
The roof collapses behind them, they turn around to see someone laying in the rubble. Ren rushes over to see as Momon cannot move.
"Who is it Ren?" Said Momon
"It someone you have to find out next time!"
