Chapter 2 - Saint

Slash, slash,slash

Blood spurted in the air as the three men fell before they could lift their guns.The other soldiers pointed their guns towards the assassin,a slender looking man with dark red eyes and long flowing black hair

"Is this the unit the Third Brigade had trouble dealing with? pathetic"the man said as he started towards their commander,a stony faced man who watched him unflinching , gripping the large sword that stood by his side and sending out a bloodcurdling aura from his body

"Attack"

All the gunmen in the unit aimed their guns at him while the swordsmen charged at him but to their greatest suprise the assassin began laughing maniacally and in the next instant he disappeared from his position, beheading five men in one slash before stopping

"You idiots ,what are you waiting for, open fire!",the commander's consort,an equally large stony faced man,barked at them

As soon as the soldiers pulled their triggers,the man moved so fast that most of the men missed his movement as he beheaded a soldier,as the men were slashed at .

Bam.

As the assassin was about to slash a soldier , his katana was stopped by the blade of the consort,Lieutenant Shorton Dalmatian ,but the consort took the force of the strike, making him to stagger backwards. Before he could stabilise himself , the assassin drew his blade back and struck at his head, but luckily he defended it with his blade ,the force pushing him backwards again

The others had converged around the two men watching in awe as their strikes sent strong gusts of wind blowing off due to air pressure. The two men charged at themselves and clashed swords again, pushing against each other to see who would give in but to the consort's greatest suprise the assassin kicked him in the ribs with such force that sent him crashing into a tree

What?, the consort thought ,he combines both physical and blade fighting, this is going to be hard,he added as he got up.

In the next instant the area was filled with slashes and falling trees destroyed by the shockwaves , before a loud explosion

As the dust subsided, they saw one of the figures standing above the other and on closer examination,they saw the assassin standing above the consort's body

Aaaarrgggh!

A war cry emitted as the men saw the sight. They were preparing to charge before a voice stopped them cold

"Don't worry,I will slay him "the commander said as he strode towards the assassin, the death of the consort still visible on his face. Stopping a few paces away from him , he drew his blade and declared"Death Saint , I am Shickel Sandstorm, also known as Tiger Saint"
