Let me take this guy with the sword!! [029] Youzen: ........ All right! Youzen: Then, I'll deal with the other two! Reikai: Youzen... Reikou: Do you really think you can fight two of the Maka Yonshou at the same time? Youzen: Heh... None of you are a match for me right now! Youzen: Reikai! Your Kurobiwa has no effect on me, remember? Reikou! Your Kongensan has already been damaged by Nataku. [030] Youzen: Furthermore, I have Koutenken by my side now. Youzen: I guarantee you will definitely lose! Reisei: Kou Tenka... Reisei: Did you come to die again? [031] Reisei: This time round, I won't spare you!! [033] KouHiko: Oohh!! Double swordplay, Tenka!? KouHiko: You'll be able to deal with the enemy's attack now!! Reiju: .......... Bukichi: Master, Tenka is back!! Taikoubou: Yeah... Bukichi: What's wrong? You should look happier! Taikoubou: Both Nataku and Raishinshi have been injured... Taikoubou: Although I am happy that we've gained in power... [034] Taikoubou: Tenka's injuries are not fully healed yet. He's just going on his spirit, forcing himself to keep on his feet... Doutoku: You're absolutely right!! Doutoku: That's what we taught Tenka to do, to fight with his spirit!! A warrior requires that sort of spirit!! Go for it!! Taikoubou: Doutoku Shinkun!! Doutoku: Taikoubou!! It's been 1000 years!! (that's not true) [035] Seikyo Doutoku Shinkun One of the Kongrong Twelve Sennin. Tenka's master. He's always used a fighter's spirit to train doushi, he's a sennin obsessed with sports. Taikoubou: Tenka's injuries are not healed yet... Doutoku: I merely gave him some pain-killers and bandaged his wounds. Taikoubou: Why don't you come fight, then!! The Twelve Sennin are very powerful, right! Doutoku: That won't do... Doutoku: If the Twelve Sennin take action, Kingou's Ten Heavenly Masters will take action too... If that happens, Master will be in big trouble!! [036] Taikoubou: You're full of excuses, you're just afraid of losing... Doutoku: Bukichi, let's help Tenka!! (Go Tenka!! Don't give up!!) KouTenka: Coach... you're making it worse... Reisei: I see, it's a double swordplay using the Bakuya no Houken... But... Reisei: It looks like you're running out of energy! [037] Reisei: Aah!! Reisei: Take that!! [038] Taikoubou: But... Why does Tenka harbour such a strong spirit? Doutoku: Taikoubou, I don't know about the Tenka you know, But the Tenka that I know, is a warrior filled with spirit!! Doutoku: Earlier... I was training myself, Exercise is most refreshing! Doutoku: ! [039] Doutoku: Tenka!! KouTenka: Coach... hurry... help me heal my injuries... at once... Doutoku: What!? KouTenka: We can't lose... Won't lose... Won't lose... Doutoku: Aah...!! Doutoku: He's a natural born warrior. Even if there's no chance of success, he won't give up. I have him a pair of Bakuya no Houken and the Sanshintei, but... [040] Doutoku: This child... I'm worried that he will sacrifice his life for the sake of fight... [041] KouTenka: *thinking* Damn!! KouTenka: You disarmed me so quickly... Your swordsmanship is indeed better than mine... Reisei: Time to admit defeat! You only have one Bakuya no Houken now. [042] Reisei: You can't evade my attack. KouTenka: Can't evade, huh... Reisei: !!? Reisei: What...? [043] KouTenka: Why do I need to evade you... This time, it's my turn to use this paopei "Sanshintei" to attack you!! KouTenka: Take that!! Reisei: Heh... Looks like you haven't quite mastered it yet!! Reisei: You're finished!! [044] Reisei: This... How...? [045] Reikou: Damn.... damn fool!! Reisei: Aaah... how dare you use Reikou's Kongensan... To retaliate...!! KouTenka: You really are a strong enemy! o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o Translation (c) 2000 Koushi - all rights reserved.
