Mardinal: The Assassin's Adventure
Chapter 15: The Samurai?

Not a single monster had time to take a move, Mardin had already slashed it into two pieces. Several monsters advanced at once, instantly slashed Mardin into pieces, ranging from slashing hands, feet, tails, to heads.

“Meh? Just this soon?” triv Mardin relax.

Unexpectedly one humanoid rhinoceros monster jumped about to pounce on him. Of course Mardin bersalto avoid the safest.

“Hologram Gauge.”

Mardin twirled his machete, making two holographic machetes created. The two machete Mardin slid towards the rhinoceros monster until it managed to stick in his chest. Using a finger movement order, the two machetes exploded, causing the body of the rhinoceros monster to shatter spitting out a lot of blood.

The claw attack was again launched by one monster. Mardin protects itself from the claw using the machete body, causing a buzzing sound due to friction between the surface of the machete and the claw. As soon as Mardin slashed the fingers of the monster's claws by rotating the machete, then rotating his body slashing the monster's body.

One Mardin monster pricks so much blood seeps out. Another monster he kicked with a capoeira movement several times, then he stabbed in the body.

Another monster darted almost pouncing on him, but Mardin swiftly stomped his neck until it hit the ground.

“Hoaaam Mardin yawned while his feet were still on the monster's neck, while his cleaver was flank on the shoulder. “Yang against monsters, anyway. Try people, it must be exciting if made emotions.”

Mardin stomped even harder until the monster's neck was broken.

A large monster came, immediately Mardin attacked by kicking the head of the monster like a ball until it hit the head of a large monster. Several times he did a twisting slash to have the body of the huge monster split into pieces.

Slash after slash by Mardin, more and more monsters were killed. Blood spurted everywhere, pieces of flesh falling down. This fight really made the streets in the area that had initially been destroyed so much dirtier by the flood of blood.

“Wohooo…! Still a lot, huh?” Mardin was licking blood on his machete.

Three huge monsters jumped back to pounce on Mardin. Mardin was ready to take a swing to use his Golok Hologram technique again. But his intention was undone when he realized the three huge monsters were split into two halves in one slash, making blood gush more and more in the air and pieces of their flesh fall before Mardin.

Mardin raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the monster's body piece. It was definitely not him who cut them. There's someone else here besides him.

At that moment, Mardin discovered the whereabouts of a person some distance beside him. The man turned his back on Mardin with a slightly kneeling position after having darted slashing the three monsters, and was seen cleaning his katana from the blood.

He was a tall man wearing a pink yukata, his long silver hair tied high up being pierced by the wind. And when he looked back a little, he appeared to wear glasses and a respirator mask covering his mouth and nose. Behind the bright lens of the glasses, clearly visible pair of bright blue eyes so sharp. The mask also gives off steam when it exhales.

Mardin fluttered like a kid who had just seen his idol superhero come. That guy looks really cool. Like the samurai in the sci-fi movies that Mardin often watches.

“Wow,” awe brief Mardin.

“I didn't expect there to be a samurai here,” Dros comments in Mardin's mind. “Means he's not here, dong.”

“Ah, true too, yes.” Mardin realized something. “If it's some sort of samurai, it means he's from the east of the planet. Why did you come here?”

As far as Mardin is concerned, Kamaju City is located in the southeastern part of Planet Urdalin, right adjacent to the border to eastern banua. There is a possibility that this foreign man is a person from the area. And the destination stray to the southeast banua is still unknown.

“Samurai, huh..?” Mardin stepped casually towards him while shouldering a machete.

The mysterious man turned to face Mardin. He removed the respirator mask, making his beautiful face now clearly visible.

“You think I'm a samurai, huh?” ask the man back in a flat tone with a sharp look.

“Hehee...” Mardin chuckles. “I thought you were some sort of samurai who strayed to this planet to save the world from the chaos of the murderers.”

“I'm not that silly, man,” reply is flat.

Mardin chuckled in response. But there was one thing that looked strange to the man. Not something serious. Only, Mardin saw the man wearing a yukata with a blend of pink and white. But, why do his subordinates wear sports shoes? The color green anyway.

“Hei.”

“Hm?”

Mardin pointed at the man's shoes. “What you wear is your traditional dress, right? How to wear shoes? As I recall, it fits with wooden slippers.”

“Oh?” The man looked at his own shoes.

Many people find this style of dress to be too strange. Just imagine, there are people wearing yukata carrying swords is still natural. But his face wears glasses and a respirator mask that likes to come out of smoke when exhaled, and at the bottom of it even wear sports shoes with bumpy colors.

Can't connect.

Mardin narrowed his eyes while paying attention to the design of the man's shoes. I don't know, Mardin doesn't care about clothing brands, let alone shoes. The important thing is still worth using at a cheap price has made Mardin grateful for the afterlife.

“How much, yak?” ask plain mardin.

With the pedenya the man replied, “This price reached 1,559 Dt, limited edition. This hard sonorous, sold separately anyway.”

Mardin was stunned to hear it. “Wah? Shoes can be sold separately?”

“Iya, dung. The right side is bought in the north store, while the left side is bought in the south store.”

“That's the price for a pair, what next to doang?”

“Iya next door, dong. Buy it separately in a different store. Cool, right? This expensive.”

Mardin's brain began to think, digesting the problem of buying shoes. I think someone's stuck, that's it.

Mardin said, “Actually, I am confused about your purchase of shoes. Whether it is the marketing technique until sold separately, or you who even get tricked.”

“Grraaah!!”

“Wrrrayhhh!”

“Jrrrraaaahhh!!”

The interaction of the two about discussing the world of unity is interrupted by the voices of different kinds of monsters. The monsters were seen besieging them from various directions, growling, roaring furiously, preparing to attack these two men at any time.

“You are invited to the party, Friend,” said Mardin familiarly while catapulting a machete.

“I'm not a party boy.” The man took the position of being ready to fight using a katana. “But, I got the invitation.”

The two of them instantly shot towards the group of monsters, slashing at all of them with various slashes. Mardin's slash looks blue, while the man's slash is pink.

“Freedom of Sakura Flowers.”

The man slashed a pink scythe with cherry blossom petals towards the monster array at once to make them slash instantly, spitting out a lot of blood.

Mardin darted over it, spinning in the air while swinging a machete, slashing at some monsters upon landing. He slashed and stabbed those monsters.

As all the nearby monsters dwindle, Mardin turns his machete into a blaster pistol. He fired lasers at some monsters until the lasers penetrated their heads and torso bodies.

The samurai man darted closer to another group of monsters, as well as Mardin followed while turning his weapon back into a machete.

Both of them continued to slash through many monsters. The man moved quickly, advancing while slashing horizontally in a slightly bent position. While in the opposite direction, Mardin rolled on his back along slashing vertically.

After killing quite a number of monsters, the positions of the two now turned against each other with their backs touching each other, still holding their respective weapons and preparing for the next attack.

“Haha! It's fun, man,” said Mardin girang. “It's nice to have a friend fight like this.”

“I appreciate it, Dude.” The man's eyes were still focused on looking towards the monsters. “But, this is not my goal to come here.”

Mardin was confused by his point. “Hm? Continues?”

“I have business with you, Mardin.”

The man knew Mardin's name. It was very suspicious when the man said he had business with her. What kind of business? That's what Mardin needs to find out.

The eye contact full of sparkling excitement turned into a sharp glint with a blue glint massage on the iris of Mardin's eye.

“You know my name, huh..?”

Mardin swung his machete towards the man. The man also swung his katana towards Mardin. The movements of the two were carried out simultaneously, making the two types of swords smash into each other, creating a very loud, deafening metal impact sound.
