#10 of Dragonheart Part 59-77


Bertram looked at his opponent Külan, just looked at Külan Bertram. After they crossed the blades for the first time they went after the judgment in a secluded park where they could fight without hurting someone else. Bertram immediately fell on the dull, dark night of the raven feathers. He stood directly in the sunlight, but not a bit of light reflected his feathers.

"Interesting." He said then. "What's interesting?" Asked Külan surprised. "Your feathers: what is with them that they reflect no light?" Said Bertram. "They do it because I would have no light to me. A raven like I do not need a light to live, he needs darkness. "Külan answered calmly and pointed his katana on Bertram. The blade was ruby ??red, the oval-shaped hilt, the handle was the one made of iron and other wood.

Bertram also taught his katana, and then held on Külan attachments. "Except for a couple of attacks he has made so far not much." He thought to himself. "Whether he's up to something, perhaps?" He made a quick step forward, crossed with Külan the blades and noticed that he was as calm as Bertram himself "Apparently you're also kind of quiet as it seems." Said Bertram Külans behavior.

"Why fight quickly and ugly when you look at it relaxed and can do artistically?" Külan asked with a gentle-sounding voice. "Finally someone who understands how a" real "fight looks like." Said Bertram, smiling. Külan bowed briefly went into combat stance, and then waited on Bertram. She was breathing very relaxed both on and off, waited again for a moment before she again crossed the blades and with her, as the saying Bertram called to "real" fight.

Raio struck with his claymore sword against the silver of violet, gave not an inch to the two quickly became clear that these two had found each other in the perfect opponent. "What is your name?" Violet Raio asked immediately. "Raio Sombra and yours?" Raio replied immediately. "Violet, fifth Esper Rubino Silver." Said Violet, and then went back for a second.

"Sounds like you're a pretty important person." Raio said curiously. "The importance of a person is known by the things she has done. For example, I once was a noble knight, who was banished from the court of his family because he wanted to be more than a puppet of those claiming to be my parents. But I was the one who brought my family much fame and reputation. "Said Violet proud.

"Two years later I met on Rubino, who told me of great honor that I would achieve the conquest of the South could call my own. So I decided to become a part of his group of chosen people, to regain what was taken from me. My glory and my honor, "Then Raio just laughed, shook his head and asked," You want to honor and glory through the destruction of a kingdom gain? "

Violet said nothing at first, attacked Raio, then jumped past him so he was standing right behind him and said: "The way to honor and fame will never go without sacrifice. Time you kill an enemy and sometimes destroys Duke to an empire, the result remains the same. "He struck and struck the blade of Raios Claymore.

"Glory and honor be achieved without sacrifice. Unfortunately, I realized this too late, so on my hands the blood of innocent stick. "He replied slightly sad. "No one is innocent when he is on your way to fame and honor." Violet said to Raio cold. "Then you do not understand what true honor," said Raio, jumped up and sat on the offensive. "Then show how to" "become an honor!" True, and asked Violet sprang out Raio.

Of loud noise from hitting one another Katana, the park was filled in just a few minutes. In a dedicated and extremely elegant Bertram and Külan fight showed how well they could cope with the Katana. The whole time they ran their swords through dance together used the park as their dance floor and offered to the counter via a performance that would make even the best actors in the knee.

They went around a tree, cut the bark, felled him with a Külan further blow. With a quick step to the side more Bertram from the falling oak tree and watched as Külan cut through the falling crown. Bertram went on the defensive, yet took his free hand and began to both the blade and the thumb from Külans.

"You are really an excellent fighter." Said Bertram Külan fighting style. "The same can I say to you too." Said Bertram, laughing. The two jumped away from each other, looked at each other and then held back attachments. ? "You're not a samurai, or" asked Bertram Külan, the raven shook his head and replied: "Sixty years ago I was one."

He let down his Katana, "Sixty years I was a samurai. But this life was ended after, I had to do to keep my "rank". ", He began to tell. "What have you done?" Bertram Külan asked cautiously. "I've killed my best friends, as proof of my loyalty to my country." Said Külan. "This fact, I now regret, and I long now then, they will in the dead, even though I know that I for my betrayal of them go to hell rather than to them in the sky."

Then the raven brought back his katana was ready to fight on and just waiting to Bertram The same did.

The rapid sword slash from violet dodged Raio began a new attack on the dragon. And this was pushed into the void from a short angry growl Raio and struck his claymore on the ground. "Breaking up", he cried and touched the ground as the Claymoreklinge it shattered into a thousand little pieces. The once wide blade is a sleek, large two-handed sword.

"Look at one, now is the great sword as too heavy?" Violet asked mockingly. Raio twirled his new sword a little, slowly got the feeling back in this sword and said: "A little, it really annoys me is that I've not met before." "And now you think you hit me with it"? Violet asked again. Raio sighed, prepared his attack and answered the question: "Let us stop talking, we prefer to fight!"

Then the dragon just laughed and grabbed Raio again. As their blades clashed this time was a fierce wave of energy that lies shaking the ground beneath them. Also began to establish Raios fur, a sign that he really was in fighting mood. He raised his arm, slammed his sword against numerous times violets, which was defended at that time only.

"What's going on?No strength left to fight or what? "Raio asked him when he's against the Claymore Sword of Violet with such force suggested that he was thrown back several meters. As he stood upright again, he heard a short break. Frightened he looked at his arms and saw that the left glove had a huge crack, possibly through the power of Raios blow.

Annoyed, he looked at the standing to brag Sergalen to himself and said: "How is that possible?" Raio looked at the seemingly confused dragon, grabbed his sword on his back and replied, "Because I know who I am. " You know who you are? "said Violet, panting. Raio nodded and replied: "I am a former soldier of the North, which brought much suffering and pain of those who were innocent.

This is why I ran away, an act of cowardice as I haranguing me then. But then my friends said to me that this act was not a coward, but she proved my courage to stand up for my opinion. From the day I knew who I am. A man of honor, "laughed Violet out only and said:" So this is honor? Run away from his duties? I do not laugh! You are more pathetic than these fools from parents that I had! "

"You have used you, but you have not resisted. If you see it so this is all honor and glory of all this, you took her, because you were only the executing hand, nothing else. "Replied Raio him immediately. Violet shook clutched his heavy as hard as he could. "What do you understand, sergal," he screamed, jumped on Raio, who was waiting for him already on the defensive.

Like a wild animal with his sword to beat Violet Raios, screamed so loud that it even two hundred meters further was heard and looked Raio with a look that he had otherwise left only his mortal enemies. Then he made a jump back, grabbed his arms and pulled herself from her body. "Away with this garbage," he cried until he was only in a thin chain armor before Raio.

"Eat this, you bastard!" He rammed his sword into the ground, and suddenly cried out in a purple dragon jumped out of the ground. "Crystal's brother!" The dragon tore the street cried out loud and then lay down to violet. "Kill him for the honor," he told the serpent, and set his sword on Raio. According to the dragon rushed screaming to Raio, who stood there quietly the entire time.

Just before he reached the monster he sighed briefly, then he touched the sword, drove quickly through this, whereupon the blade shone bright. They sparkled silver, extended to approximately two-fold. "Torn him into a thousand pieces," cried Violet, and the dragon followed this command. With open mouth, sharpened claws just before he was Raio when he put his claymore with the blade on the ground and then beat up.

"Crystal Cleaver" The blade tore through the dragon, for a moment nothing happened but then he broke into a million little pieces. Violet had completely upset to watch as his dragon was destroyed with a single attack. He saw how Raios sword again took its normal length, and he looked at him. "That's the power that one has when one is filled with glory and honor." He said easily applied.

Külan struck with an incredible determination to Bertram's Katana, he knew, after Bertram to die by his past and his desire, he would now be even more effort to end this fight possible, dignified. The swept blades against each other, triggered a massive flight from radio to the two of them after a very strong beat each other fell back at once.

"Seems as if you work hard you even more!" Said Bertram to him. Külan straightened up, wiped the dust from his katana blade and said:. "I want to die with dignity and did not like any of these dirty Sergalen, fighting out of nothing in my head" "But we samurai but really nothing else in mind or ? "said Bertram.

"In principle yes, but our goals are set higher than the other. We strive for the good of all, and not only the welfare of individual, please do not forget that. "Said Külan. ", Then you have your friends killed for the good of the community," Bertram said he suddenly; Külan responded to this question first with silence, then said: "I did what I had to do."

Bertram looked at him in silence, trying to understand this answer, but then shook her head. "You can not justify the death of their friends by their own hands with such a thing." He said then. Külan however, only shook his head and said:. "I'm not here to justify my actions in front of you," Bertram nodded it just went back in fighting stance when he suddenly sweet a smell that blew his nose past distracted was.

He picked up the scent in his nose, then breathe out of his mouth again and said: "So now you lay off properly. Do not overdo it. " With whom are you talking about? "Asked Külan him. Bertram pointed his katana on Külan and replied: "A friend of mine has decided that the time for play is over." "What do you mean," asked him Külan?.

Bertram was breathing again. Külan jumped on and attacked him. Thus again a fierce duel began between the two, during which she crashed several trees in the park by the sheer force of her taken together Katanas. As they walked across a bridge, they dissected the railing in seconds and then came under a pavilion.

From this they fought only once in a while, until she collapsed slowly cut the support beams and then jumped off again when he then completely in it. Then the two fought until they had laid the whole park in ruins, while they crossed again the blades with either of the two depletion was obvious.

"Seems like we have pretty devastated." Said Bertram, the chaos in the park "Nothing that we could not rebuild." Replied Külan cool. Laughing, Bertram agreed with this and continued the fight. Without any special techniques, the two samurai fought against each other, and the fight dragged on more and more in length.

Then each landed a hit both in each other: Bertram Külan injured left arm, right arm Külans Bertram. Only a little blood dripped from the wound down, but instead a slight cry of pain, the two laughed, because she had finally landed a hit. They did not wait too long but continued their fight at lightning speed.

But the whole Külan soon seemed to want to put an end because he realized that his time had come slowly.

Angry Violet struck with his sword against Raios Claymore, his anger towards him turned into absolute hatred. "How can he talk of honor, when he ran away? How? "He asked himself, jumped up and struck again. As repulsed all his attacks with ease, were he jumped back, and rammed his sword three times to go up at various points in the floor and read three more Kristalllindwürmer from the ground.

"Destroy him!" He shouted angrily. When the ratcheting three to Raio he sighed. "You are too young to really understand what fame and honor are." He stabbed his sword into the ground three times, whereupon silvery dust poured up. This dust gathered around Raio, and then attached itself to his claymore. He took it back on to the ground until he had regained its original shape.

The dragon approached him without making any stop, then began to swing his claymore Raio. After only a few oscillators, he let go of the handle and the Claymore turned over his hand in a very high speed. When the dragons were around him then he grabbed the handle and struck into the ground and cried: "shattering sound!"

By hitting the Claymoreklinge on the ground they caused a tremendous sound wave, the dragons, who were about to devour Raio pulverized into dust. Raio saw Violet already prepared a new attack, but this time he was on the train. He raised his claymore, looked at the dragon and exhaled slowly.

Then a red aura began to surround Raio, it was a tremendous pressure that was a matter of seconds so strong that Violet could move an inch longer. "What's that?" He asked, trembling, for something he had never seen before. The next moment dissolved completely in the Claymore and it only remained a thin beam of energy.

"Now I'll show you how strong I am," exclaimed Raio and let his hand fall all at once. "Vendetta." When the jet touched the ground has seen one about twenty feet high on black-red swath, was completely engulfed in purple. A few seconds later, the path disappeared and you could see that a track had been destroyed about half a kilometer.

Raio saw the destruction in front of his eyes and then wondered how many he could have killed it. Depressed about it, he looked at his hand in the till just the beginning of the lane and was clenching a fist. "Mist." He swore, and then looked forward to was under a large pile of rubble purple, the countless wounds and dragged himself out of it was then Raio.

When he was only three feet away from him, he was spitting a large quantity of blood, but still had his sword firmly in hand. "You are defeated." Raio said quietly. "Shut your mouth!" Violet cried immediately. "I'm not defeated!I am never defeated! "With his last strength he ran towards Raio, who beat him, but the sword from his hand and read it then fall into his arms.

Violet looked at Raios face, saw that he looked at him with sad eyes and then asked, gasping: "Why are you looking at me like that ...." "You will die without any glory or honor," replied softly Raio.. Violet laughed just coughing and asked, "Is that so? Then let me tell you one thing: it was an honor to fight you. "

Then Raio laughed too, and even smiled. "Well then I must correct myself, you will die with honor." He said quietly. Violet smiled briefly, "Thank you.", He thanked barely audible, and then closed his eyes. "Goodbye Violet, fifth Esper." Raio adopted by him and remained with him still sitting in his lap a little.

Bertram and Külan crossed the blades as Külan startled suddenly. "Violet, he is dead?" He asked quietly, looking towards the enormous energy he felt until recently. For a moment he let fall his katana. "Seems like it was now ready." He said, and lifted the katana. He let it fall, and instead of falling to the ground, it sank into the earth and formed a rapidly spreading darkness.

This formed into a cube that enveloped both Bertram and Külan. "Shadow Hall." He said, and the last light disappeared. Bertram looked nervously around. He could not see it there was total darkness in this place. Then he heard someone say: "Hall of the death of candles." All over lit small candles.

"Do not worry, these candles are used only to illuminate the room. Finally, this is my last fight and I would like to quit gracefully as possible. "Said Külan and walked up to Bertram. When he took a sword length away from him, he was slowly pushed his katana against Bertram. "So ... let it stop us." A small impact was enough and already delivered the two one last desperate battle.

The Schlagabtäusche were now significantly faster, Bertram leaped toward Külan, was repulsed and beaten off. He touched the ground, slid over him suddenly appeared and disappeared as Külan right behind him. "The stone's throw away, then?" Bertram said, laughing, and vanished before Külan could catch him quickly. From above, he bore down on Külan, but he disappeared back into the nothing and then came racing from the right delivered to him.

Bertram disappeared, what lies Külan recognize the following: Bertram reflexes were incredibly good. But he should not be underestimated, because Bertram's attack went blank, as he too rushed to Külan. Over the next few seconds, but the two crossed their blades so fast that you could just see the sparks caused thereby.

This happened more often and faster, so the two stood facing each other finally exhausted easily. "We could both make the still days." Commented Külan the capabilities of themselves and Bertram. "You're probably right. But we have no time of day right? "Asked him Bertram. "Unfortunately, yes. So, on a new one. "Said Külan.

Bertram nodded, disappeared just as quickly as Külan and tried, like the raven to prepare the battle finally ended. But when the two arrived after seven more minutes does not always hit hard by the other, they separated again and looked at each other. Bertram put away his katana. "And I thought I would not use it." He thought to himself, and put his hands together.

At first slowly, then faster and faster moving his fingers and formed numerous finger sign. When he formed the last, he said. "Jutsu of the familiar spirit" around him appeared thousands of tiny cherry blossoms, which then formed behind him a great person. She had a big hat, wearing a brown coat, a mask concealed by a brown face and a couple of wooden shoes.

The spirit behind it formed the same fingerings as Bertram and then mimicked his movements. Bertram took the katana, as well as the mind and read it disappear into the ground. After that, the two formed a new finger signs. At the point where the two Katanas are sunk in the ground opened up a dark red hole. From this hole came out a katana, which was then under control of Bertram.

Bertram is slowly pulled out of the vagina, while the spirit shone pink behind him and then put as the aura around Bertram. ". Blade of the weapon master: Zanmatou" He turned, struck; Külan to a few small cherry blossoms flew over before he felt his body hit a huge cut. He felt the blow of thousands of blades, but there was only one that really met him. Bertram's attack was so strong that he's created Külan hall simply swept away and the two are read in light of the sun.

The Katana in Bertram's hand disappeared shortly after he carried out the attack, whereupon he fell to his knees and rest your hands on the floor had to. A little later he managed to establish himself again as he saw Külans feathers began to shine in the light. "Is it over?" Külan Bertram asked softly. The boy nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Why are you crying?" He said Bertram. "Your feathers, the light they reflect." Bertram said quietly. Külan looked at his feathers, looking like they were shining in the sunlight and began to smile. "I can finally go." Said Külan and looked towards the sky, suddenly a tear ran down her face. "Even if I know .... .... .... I'll go to hell." He said, weeping.

Bertram went to Külan, put his hand on his chest and said, "No, you will go to your friends." His hand flashed, which is white colored plumage Külans. "Be thou purified from the sins of your past." He said softly. "The blessing of a samurai, I thank you.", Thanking Külan themselves. "Even though I am for this last honorable combat more grateful." After this last sentence, he then dissolved completely.

What remained was a single black feather, which apparently has not been cleaned. Bertram took the pen, looked at her and promised. "I'll never forget you, Külan" He looked up into the sky, his face bathed in the sunlight, hoping that Külan is now in a better place.

"Two are already dead?" Asked arcade when he was just finishing his cake. He chuckled briefly, took a sip of tea and watched the coffin, which stood in a dark corner of the room behind him. "Looks like you were allowed out to play too soon, Daimo."

To be continued .....
