Even though Mildred and Izayoi are not willing to hurt , I still have to be careful, I have to show them that I have the strength to be at the level of Yami's experts while showing them that I don't want to hurt them either.
I rushed over to Izayoi, she raised her sheathed sword and perford a vertical strike aid at my left shoulder.
I received the blow by relaxing my shoulder muscles and leaned to the right allowing the blow to slide down my shoulder.
When Izayoi was within my attack range an arrow hit my knee making lose my balance which Izayoi took advantage of to use the handle of her sword to hit my abdon in the area of the pit of my stomach.
I hunched my back allowing my elbows to et on my abdon avoiding Izayoi's blow, she took advantage of that little mont to jump back to get away from my attack range.
"Luis, don't make do this" - Mildred spoke in a voice full of anxiety.
The arrow that hit just now was blunt, Mildred had removed the sharp tips from the arrows, but the impact was enough to damage my joint as an arrow at close range from Mildred is similar to a shotgun blast even if she doesn't use her custom bow.
Normally I would have to shake my leg while circling Ki through my blood vessels to avoid inflammation, but thanks to the black blood even if my knee broke I could rebuild it in a minute.
I didn't respond to Mildred and rushed in her direction to attack her.
She reacted imdiately and shot two arrows at the sa ti, I was able to avoid both arrows, but behind , the arrows hit the wall of a warehouse, bounced, and collided with each other heading for my calves.
Even with my enhanced senses, I couldn't predict Mildred's attacks so both arrows hit my legs causing to stumble.
When I was stumbling, I concentrated Ki in the palm of my hands to form a Ki platform and hit the air with my palms.
I did a sorsault in the air approaching Mildred and as I fell I gave an ax kick towards her.
Mildred raised her bow to block my kick. Instead of using her force to stop the impact, she deflected the force of my kick as she took a step back, preventing the recoil from hurting her arms.
Mildred kicked at my leg pushing a ter away, then she took out an arrow and before I could touch the ground she fired precisely hitting my right shoulder joint dislocating my arm.
As soon as I touched the ground, Izayoi arrived and using a lunging strike attacked my right side that was unprotected because my arm was dislocated.
When Izayoi's sword struck my side I used the force of the blow to rotate my body and deflect the force of the blow.
Izayoi ca face to face with , she has always been careless with her own safety so she left her face defenseless.
I raised my arm, focused Ki on my elbow, and lowered my arm at high speed pointing between her eyebrows.
"..." - We were both silent as I stopped my elbow half an inch from her face, we just looked into her eyes, she with a puzzled look and I with an expression of bitterness.
"After all, I can't do it ..." - I murmured in a low voice allowing her to hear , then I raised my right leg, put it on Izayoi's abdon, and pushed her several ters away without hurting her.
With my left hand, I took my right arm and repositioned my joint, then I looked at Mildred who was pointing an arrow at .
"Wasn't it enough to alter my mories of the Ryozanpaku? Why did you also make fall in love with you?! Did they want to control so much?!" - My voice was similar to a sob of pain, I disgust myself.
Mildred looked at for a long ti without answering, the bow-master finally returned and handed the custom bow to Mildred along with her quiver of arrows.
Mildred held her bow, but she didn't lift it, she just looked at and then sighed. - "Please listen to "
I didn't respond and just stood still waiting for her to speak.
The bow-master's 3 female disciples and Mildred's female disciple Olivia finally arrived, they were all ard, but none of them pointed at .
"Ogata brought you Yami after seeing your potential, but since you were not willing to join us, Jenazad proposed to brainwash you so that you would not rember your fiends of Ryozanpaku, although not everyone agreed, no one stopped him since your potential is impressive and it would be a waste not to have you in Yami"- Mildred started to speak, her words made Izayoi frown.
"Only the leaders of Yami knew about this, you are not supposed to be able to recover your mories, but the shot seems to have returned your mory" - Mildred looked at with an expression of regret.
"I know you must hate right now, but I want you to understand that my feelings are real, in the ti we have spent together I really fell in love with you despite the age difference ... It may seem that I just want to cheat on you, but I beg you to believe " - Mildred had to take off her special glasses as she had started to shed so tears.
"..." - I looked at Mildred in silence, my gaze softened a bit but I still showed traces of mistrust. - "Mildred, I'm sorry, I can't trust you"
Mildred resisted the urge to cry and in a shaky voice, she asked . - "What should I do to make you trust ?"
"I can't think of anything" - I was direct. - "But it doesn't matter since this is the end"
"End?" - Mildred sounded confused, but she seed to understand what I said, she just didn't want to admit it.
"From this mont I am not part of Yami, now we are enemies" - Although my voice was full of pain, my expression was one of determination.
"I can't allow that" - The bow-master pointed an arrow at . - "Miss Mildred, we have to eliminate any possible threat"
She did not care about the dramatic scene, she only knows how to follow orders, but it's okay, that makes things easier for .
Mildred was shocked by my words and she couldn't say anything, only Izayoi drew her sword and approached .
I stared at Izayoi, she just kept an expressionless face, raised her sword and stood in front of pointing at Yami's won with her sword.
"What are you doing? Are you betraying Yami? " - The bow-master frowned.
"I can betray Yami, but I won't betray my feelings" - Izayoi said a phrase that almost made spit because of how dramatic it sounded.
Why the hell am I a drama magnet? Is it because my paternal grandparents are Latino?
"Izayoi ..." - I spoke with a moved voice, she did not answer , but she began to emit a thirst for blood directed towards the bow-master and Mildred, what an adorable woman.
"I don't want to fight with you Mildred, despite everything I still have feelings for you and I don't think I'll be able to hurt you" - My words made Mildred tremble, then I looked at the bow-master. - "As for you ..."
Using my Intimidation skill coupled with the pressure of my Ki I threatened the bow-master. - "I can live with the pain of killing a beautiful woman"
The bow-master remained expressionless as she pointed at , but there were beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.
Although I have no killing intent because every ti I murder a person I do not see them as living beings but as piles of raw at, my skill set is sufficient to be considered a ntal attack.
Mildred looked at seriously. - "Will you really be Yami's enemy?"
"..." - I nodded silently.
"I see" - Mildred nodded as she tightened her grip on her bow.
Izayoi readied himself to fight as she felt Mildred begin to release the Ki ready to fight.
If a fight occurs, Izayoi and I would have the advantage in close combat since it is our specialty, but as soon as they start shooting they will be able to overwhelm us with their arrows, however, I did not worry in the least since I could read the emotions of Mildred through her body language.
Without the bow-master being able to react, Mildred used the hard part of her bow to hit the bow-master on the temple causing her to lose her balance.
Before the bow-master could recover, Mildred kneed her in the abdon followed by a blow to the back of her head knocking her unconscious.
Mildred sighed deeply. - "If I stay by your side, do you think you can forgive ?"
"I'm not sure ..." - I looked at the unconscious bow-master, that was a good blow. - "But even if I still feel upset, I can't deny that I still love you ..."
"That seems enough to " - Mildred showed a small smile, then looked at the 3 disciples of the bow-master who were looking at us with fear. - "What do we do with them?"
"I've already killed too many people who didn't deserve it ..." - I sighed with a regretful voice which made Mildred look at sadly. - "Let's just leave them, although it was only for a while, we were partners and it feels bad to hurt such beautiful girls"
The 3 girls looked a bit embarrassed, but they were still scared so they didn't say anything. Even though they are similar in age to Mikoto, they lack ntal strength.
"Contact Yami, give them a ssage from " - I spoke to the 3 girls, they just nodded.
Even though my expression was not intimidating and my voice was not threatening, the three girls turned pale upon hearing . - "Jenazad, I'm going to kill you"
After that, I left the place. Izayoi sheathed her sword and followed as did Mildred and her disciple Olivia.
Izayoi is an airhead who gets carried away by her emotions so there is no problem in telling her about trips to other worlds if I use the sa story that I discovered my ability to travel to other worlds when I fell into a coma.
Mildred might have so doubts, but the guilt of having used as a tool clouded her judgnt so she wouldn't question .
Olivia is quite submissive, as long as Mildred doesn't ask questions then she too will accept it without hesitation.
When we left the warehouse area Mildred ca up to . - "What will we do now?"
"First let ask you sothing" - I stopped and looked Mildred in the eyes, her double pupils always seed interesting to . - "Are you really willing to go against Yami for ?"
Mildred just smiled at . - "I will show you that you can trust "
At that mont I heard Tsubaki's voice in my mind. - "Although she has killed several people, her soul is not really evil, you must treat her well"
Thank you for acting as my conscience, I wish she would stop.
In the end, I sighed and nodded to both Tsubaki and Mildred. - "It's fine"
Izayoi asked curiously. - "So what will we do now?"
"Although it was from Jenazad's mind control, my hands are stained with the blood of innocent people, people outside the world of martial arts unable to defend themselves, even those who follow the fist of death do not murder civilians, but I did. … "- My expression turned gloomy.
"I'm sorry ..." - Mildred lowered her head sadly.
I walked over to her and put my hand on her head to caress her. - "It's okay, I'm still upset, but living with hatred and guilt is not healthy, regretting will not solve anything so it is better to correct mistakes"
I smiled a little. - "That is why I intend to make ands for my mistakes"
Mildred looked up in confusion. - "What are you going to do? Seclude you in isolation?"
I heard that years ago Ogata accidentally murdered an innocent person and to atone for his sins he secluded himself in the mountains for years, I'm not going to do that shit.
"That is only a self-imposed punishnt that will not help the victims of my actions, it is only for personal satisfaction" - I shook my head. - "I will make up for my actions by saving more lives than I took"
Izayoi tilted her head in confusion. - "Are you going to stop Yami to save lives?"
"Not exactly" - I shook my head. - "Yami is using the wrong thod but their goal is the correct one, a unified world"
Yami wants control of the world to end conflicts where only the strong have complete control of the world.
Objectively it is the way to achieve world peace, the problem is that using force will only create more enemies than allies, so to fulfill Yami's objective you have to unify the main forces of the world under the sa banner.
In other words, act like the hero who wants to save the world while secretly took control of the world.
"Wars, hunger, poverty, humanity is always consud by the evils that it creates, even if I stop Yami the wars will not end, the innocent will continue to die and nothing will change" - I sighed dramatically. - "But an absolute governnt based on force and intimidation will only make innocent people suffer"
"Then what do you want to do?" - Mildred asked.
"I don't know yet, for the mont I want to prevent Yami from controlling the world and kill the bastard Jenazad" - I spoke angrily.
I already have a plan in mind, but for that, I will need the Ryozanpaku masters, plus I have to contact Rimi and Rachel as soon as possible so that when they find out about my defection from Yami they won't panic.
Ah shit, again I have a lot of work.
"For now let's look for food, clothes, and shelter, I have a lot to tell you" - I held my tired sigh.
