9 A Sight Too Disgusting To Look At.

"Subaru quickly hide!" shouted Nero.

"Oh, you still have time to look away?"

Nero easily dodged the incoming assault, and with a precise kick, destroyed her daggers.

"Ara Ara.. You are quite quick on your feet. How about I cut them off?" smiled Elsa.

"No thanks. Your attacks are just too predictable." said Nero

"Hmm we will see."

She said as she took out another pair of daggers.

"Get ready, I am getting serious." said Elsa.

"Haha yeah sur-"

"Swisch"

"Ugh"

Wha-what was that.. I silently touch my neck. Blood is coming out of it.

"Ohh it looks like I grazed you a bit? What happened there sweetheart?" teased Elsa.

That girl sure is dangerous. She also likes to interrupt when someone's speaking. I need to educate her properly.

In a fraction of a second, Elsa almost cut his head off. He was almost caught off guard by her speed.

She is dangerous. She was just pretending to be that slow.

"Hey You!" said Subaru.

"Mhm? Oh it's the insect.. Well, I give you the permission to speak, go on." said Elsa.

"Where is she?"

"Who?"

"Where is Emilia tan?!" asked Subaru.

"Oh the elf... Hehe.."

"Where is Emilia!" Subaru shouted at her.

"Which half?" smiled Elsa.

"Huh what do you mean by th-"

Before he could ask, he was hit in the head by the back of her dagger.

"So noisy, just like the stupid elf." said Elsa.

Yeah, I agree on that one.

"Now let's continue our duel or rather, our fight to your death." smiled Elsa

"Oh, why wasn't your death included? I believe that you will be the one dying here" smiled Nero.

"I would die if I could, however I am not a human and I am basically immortal sweetheart."

Damn it, this is so problematic. Subaru is unconscious, elf is nowhere to be found and Puck is gone too. I don't believe that Puck lost to her. There is just no way. He gave me a hard time, there is no way that he would be defeated by some random assassin.

I need to get serious.

"Alright pretty lady, you win." sighed Nero.

"Huh? Are you surrendering, so that I can just cut you open? How nice of you."

"Nah, it's just that, I have acknowledged you as a worthy opponent, so I will go all out." said Nero.

I slowly take off my shirt and show her my physique.

"Training Weights? How old fashioned. Five of them?! " Said Elsa in shock.

All of them weight at least 10 kilograms from what I see.

And he doesn't look bad at all. I really want to see how his guts look like haah haaah.

"Yeah, well, I don't have enough speed and these are holding me down."

I said as I put down all 5 of them on the ground.

"I am ready let's go" said Nero as he rushed towards his opponent.

He sees an unprotected area on her chest where he would strike.

His left foot forwards, he brought his back foot to the front and leapt, propelling himself high into the air. From there he had all the time in the world. Elsa's guard went up, leaving her chest wide open. All he had to do was turn so his other side faced his opponent, wait for gravity to start pulling him down, and then shoot his right leg out in a straight line, sailing cleanly into his opponent's chest. Dead center.

However, Elsa figured his attack pattern from their exchange earlier and dodged his attack.

That didn't stop Nero as he continued with his barrage of attacks.

Taekwondo is a dangerous martial art, it can kill pretty easily.

There were several styles - ITF, ATA or WT style.

But, our family practiced a style called True taekwondo.

Head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking were normal techniques. However, we created our own deadly techniques that no one else did.

Other than that, I was the clan's prodigy and I also established a new style that I completely made up myself. It is called No Touch taekwondo.

"Are you sure that you dodged my attack?" smiled Nero.

Elsa clutches her stomach in pain. A blood stain slowly appears on her black fabric.

"How is it possible, I've dodged your attack, so why am I hurt?!"

"Its my martial arts style." said Nero.

"Who are you? There is no way that someone like you won't be recognized by this kingdom, I have a full list of strong foes I would probably have a hard time dealing with, however you weren't on it. Are you from a different kingdom? If so, then I will add you to my list immediately." said Elsa.

"No, I am not affiliated with any kingdom, I am a traveler." said Nero.

"Like I would believe that bullcrap!"

Good, I need to stall as much as possible to heal. My body is cursed, meaning I am immortal to some extent, however I don't want to lose myself to the curse.

His kicks are dangerous. He didn't even touch me, but my liver, both of my kidneys and a part of my stomach was destroyed.

"Where is Emilia!"

Ah the annoying brat is up again. Time to shut him up for good.

"Are you sure that you want to see her, or rather, what's left of her? If yes, then she is in the next room."

Subaru immediately rushed to the room just to see the most disturbing sight in his entire life

The room was full of blood, unidentified bodies were laying on the ground.

Intestines were all around the room. And there he saw her.

Emilia's head was lying on the ground, she had a face full of shock and terror.

Half of emilia's beautiful face was missing, her stomach was cut open and her intestines were peeking out. Both of her arms and legs were cleanly cut off. Only a part of her torso remained intact.

The odor was disgusting. Subaru felt like he couldn't breathe. He actually couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

His yesterday's meal was about to come out of his mouth but he endured it, swallowed it back down and silently started crying.

"So, did you like the sight?" asked Elsa.

"YOU BITCH I WILL KILL YOU" said Subaru as he was holding Emilia's head in his hands.

"No wait Subaru!"

"The pleasure is all mine haha" laughed Elsa.

Shit I won't make it in time. How could Puck lose or rather, why didn't he defend Emilia?

"NO!"

"Too late."

Darkness takes place once again.

.....

We are in the back alley again.

I look at Emilia and Puck. They are still alive. This time, we will come with them. Not like in my Vision.

"Subaru, don't worry, they are alright. Subaru?

"Ugh" Subaru was violently throwing up.

He turns to me and shakes my shoulders.

"Nero this, definitely wasn't a Vision. It was too real.. The smell, the touch, the pain, Everything. It felt like it really happened! I am starting to doubt our ability, we need to discuss it some more. But right now, I don't feel so good blegh!"
