The Legend's Behind the Mask "Swordsman's Era" Chapter 19: The West, Emergency Meeting
"Generals! Let us begin our meeting, we are The West providing protection to other nations... Probably all of you who are here have heard that the north is under attack, and the enemies launch a full-scale attack on their village. The General of the Fifth Army is with his soldiers, swordsmen ready to march. We are late with the information, and the south does not yet have it. The east has already taken action, and now the others who have arrived, as well as the assassins, will defend the whole village for almost a year," the unknown man added, sitting in front of a round table with additional unknown individuals. "Kingston, you're the main head of this village, taking action as one of the friendly nations is required, but I disagree with deploying the fifth army alone that doesn't have any Hashira with him or another army there to back him up, remember that the Burraku's launch a full-scale attack, meaning that a whole nation of Darks will attack the north," the General of the fourth
The Legend's Behind the Mask "Swordsman's Era" Chapter 20: The Tragedy of the North Wind Hashira's
An unknown Hashira was walking in a hallway underneath the capital of the south. It was a hidden hallway and in the distance, there was a door. He can hear his footsteps as he approached. He gets there and unlocks the door. Everyone in the room fell silent for a split second as he entered. The room held fourteen persons in total. He is one of fourteen persons present. He walks in, closes the door behind him, and proceeds to the round table. They were all seated in front of a round table in a big room beneath the Capital. "Heads of the south, deploying your army is reckless because it is far from the north, let the west and east take care of it because they are the ones closest to the village. I already deployed my Shira's to the North Wind," a Hashira stated to the unknown man on the opposite side of the table. He's one of the heads, and he was seated with a serious face, while the other two on his side were staring at the Generals and him. "Every army is ready to act at any time
The Legend's Behind the Mask "Swordsman's Era" Chapter 21: The Giant Plant and the Hidden Underground Land
Kiroshuku Hakure and Fukeshin Gakure were at the bottom of the ravine. Fukeshin Gakure has had both of his eyes closed for the past couple of minutes. He was leaning against a wall and holding his sword in his right hand. After a couple of minutes, he gradually opened both of his eyes and feels dizzy. "It's finally over... Ah! I hated coming here, I shouldn't have come if they just want me to teleport all of them here, such a bother," Fukeshin Gakure sighed as he turned to his left and began to walk. Kiroshuku Hakure formed an expressionless face behind him as he walked with him down to the ravine. They walk past the wreckage of houses and massive pillars. The enormous vines are the same. They were on the hunt for the huge vine's primary body. They both look around when they smell blood coming in the distance. They glance in the distance and find corpses lying at the bottom of the ravine. There was blood splashed everywhere in the distance, and it appeared that a massacre had taken

"Are you saying you'll teleport every single Hashira and Shira inside this hidden underground land, ÆShin?" Rigakure questioned, turning around menacingly and glaring at him. "Yes, is there a problem with that? Maybe it's time to introduce this magnificent place to all of the Hashiras and Shiras, we were all talking to each other lately in the spirit dimension, it didn't take that long... One of the Hashira's of the north wind doesn't have its mouth, but we're all sure he did the job done," Fukeshin Gakure replied, making him glare even more and see he's furious. "I won't let you teleport every single one of them here... And there's one more Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure, that's a spirit realm you're talking about... The spirit dimension is a real thing where every swordsman's spirit is there, you're talking in a different place. That place is where every Hashira and Shira can talk even if they're far away, I was invited in there to get in late, in fact, I was there, I looked
The Legend's Behind the Mask "Swordsman's Era" Chapter 23: The Hashira's and Shira's
"Looks like we've met again... Kage Rigakure, long time no see, it's good to see you again, these Hashira's that are with me know you pretty well, what have you been doing?" Kataku Sukure inquired, his eyes serious. He notices him and looks back at the Hashiras. "For me, bravery won't get you anywhere unless you have experience, and sheesh, there's so many of you! Countless Shira's and Hashira's joining the party! What a surprise!" Kage Rigakure responded in a surprisingly pleased tone as the three in front of him stopped and glared at him. "You won't scare us like that, Kage Rigakure! You were once a traitor! You betrayed that legendary swordsman! Now, we don't trust you, or the only three of us!" Kataku Sukure said in a menacing voice. Everyone in the underground land looks at him with disbelief. They began murmuring as some of them remained silent and solemn. A number of them were enraged and furious since betrayal is the sole word that might lead to a Hashira's death. "You h
The Legend's Behind the Mask "Swordsman's Era" Chapter 24: The Dark King Left Hand and Shadows
"How long do you think you'll sleep?... Kataku Sukure? I expected big, but I shoulda expected small because small things always turn into big things... You're weak, Kataku Sukure," Kage Rigakure remarked menacingly as he noticed Kataku Sukure slowly getting up. Kage Rigakure turns around to find that she is still alive and slowly rising. She turned around, furious, and menacingly caressed her blade, which began to gleam. "Hmm? You're alive? You're Fu, right? You're not that weak, but because you're the Dark King's left hand, I don't think you're the Dark King's left hand, since the Dark King made an exact seven main troops, these troops are more powerful than me and I don't see a challenge at all, Fu. I guess you're just a small part of the seven troops," Kage Rigakure said sarcastically. He laughed and giggled as he saw her vanish from where she was standing and saw how angry she was. "You shut the hell up! You punk!" she said angrily as she swung her sword down to his left side
The Legend's Behind the Mask "Swordsman's Era" Chapter 25: A Friend
"You're Kage Rigakure, right? I'm Ru... A Dark King troop, we are undefeated, yet one of your men defeated Fu... It's been the last hundreds of years since one of us was defeated by a human. The first human to ever defeat one is you, remember? You defeated me, you let me escape and that counted as being a traitor and betraying your comrades," the unknown Dark said, who was fighting Kage Rigakure and was named Ru. Their blades collided, causing them to fly away from each other. Kage Rigakure comes to a halt and stays firm as he hears the mysterious figure speak, revealing a recognizable face behind the mask that causes his eyes to widen. "Who are you?! Hundreds of years? What are you talking about?! A human can't live long like that! Hahaha!" Kage Rigakure said as he suddenly laughs. He laughs out loud that Fukeshin Gakure and Kiroshuku Hakure heard it. "You know I'm right... You were a friend of mine back in the day," Ru remarked, widening his eyes before closing them and opening t
The Legend's Behind the Mask "Swordsman's Era" Chapter 26: The Past Traitor
Kage Rigakure in the other dimension. He was kneeling as all of a sudden there was bright light everywhere. He slowly looked up and sees a giant Dark fortress. Suddenly a giant portal appeared underneath him and he falls into it. He got warped into a new dimension. He slowly stands as he holds his blade in his right hand menacingly. He looked around inside the dimension. He can see giant Dark oak trees in the far distance.They were everywhere and they are strangely spread out in the open. They were massive and the height of these giant massive trees was at least a thousand feet. The dimension was massive. Suddenly he sensed someone behind him. That made him turn around and see an unknown swordsman standing looking away in the far distance. He was showing his back at Kage Rigakure. He was wearing a coat and he looked like a normal human. It was standing on a cut dark oak tree. It was sideways and the log was massive."You always make such things difficult, Kage Rigakure... I can't b

Chapter 54: The Farewell End and The Countless Never-Ending Deaths
Fukeshin Gakure was snoring while leaning on a colored aquamarine tree. His presence couldn't be sensed. There was another swordsman on the floating island to his far left staring at him. The unknown swordsman appeared to be a human and tired. His eyes were black and he has a mask and long hair and a beard. Suddenly he vanished from where he was standing and appeared in front of Fukeshin Gakure standing. His eyes widened when he sees that he was still breathing and he was just sleeping. That made him smile and tears started coming down his cheeks as he took a step back. That made some noise and it woke up Fukeshin making him draw his sword with his right hand but suddenly the unknown swordsman in front of him raised his left hand to show his palm and shake his head left and right. That made Fukeshin stop drawing his sword as he glanced at him with his eyes widened. "Who are you? You look old... How did you get here?" He asked curious with his eyes widened. He slowly stands as he

Chapter 53: A Tragic Death
Kiroshuku Hakure was heading back to the West. He was fatigued in the midst of the forest and could scarcely move, but he was determined to keep on. Both his back and his head hurt. His heart and lungs were also bothering him, and his legs and arms were tired. It was like a five hundred kilogram lead dragging him down all over his body. His sheathe held his snapped sword. Blood was trickling from the side of his forehead. He abruptly came to a halt while reaching for a massive tree with his right hand in his right. He coughed out blood while kneeling on the ground. He closed his eyes for a second before opening them and feeling a sharp ache that caused him to kneel even farther to the ground. He spits out blood as his face turns red and slowly the pain starts to go away. He took a deep breath and he stood strong. He widened his eyes as he walked slowly on the grassy path. He cleared his throat as he clutched his left fist and stopped touching the tree with his right hand.Suddenly,

Chapter 52: A Day of Relief
ÆKenki and ÆKatsuki had arrived home safely. They were swaying as they approached the east's entrance gate. Katsuki continued to grasp his blade in his right hand. His body was covered in blood, and he appeared to be unconscious but still walking. Kenki behind him was struggling to move forward. He, like Katsuki, was unconscious yet nevertheless managed to walk. A few soldiers noticed them but couldn't recognize them because of the blood on their faces. Their upper body kimono was ripped to shreds, and their mask was missing. ÆKenki's sword blade was broken. One of the troops instantly recognized them and sent a stretcher with a few men to treat them. ÆKenki and ÆKatsuki both collapse to the ground, motionless and now entirely comatose, as soon as they sense them.They were both in critical condition and could die if not treated quickly. The sun was shining brightly, and birds were chirping in the dark forest to the east. The pleasant breeze caused the tree's leaves to dance.Shimod

Chapter 51: The Opposite of Safety
The room was deafeningly quiet. Blue sat down in his chair, depressed. The two unknown swordsmen were equally anxious about Domei and Blue. They both stared at Kingston, who was equally mute. After a few minutes, he stands and turns around, approaching the door with the intention of departing early. He stretches his neck and prepares to leave the room without smiling or saying farewell. The swordsman in front of the door moved aside to make way for him. Toka suddenly sat up in her chair, drawing the attention of the two swordsmen. Kingston turned around to look at her after hearing her chair. He notices her glancing out a window to the left. A abrupt shake on the ground caused Blue get out of his chair.The unexpected shake lasted only a few seconds. Blue casts a peek at the two unknown swordsmen in the corner and at the door, where he notices three people looking at Toka on his side. When he turns to his right to look at Toka, he notices that both of her eyes are glowing. Blue's e

Chapter 50: Safety
Fudo, Blue, and Domei arrived in the west a few hours ago. Domei was severely injured and unconscious on Blue's shoulder. Fudo Toka sobbed beside him as an army assisted them in carrying Domei to the nearest hospital in the nation at the time. They were on Domei's side at the time, waiting for him to wake up. Fudo Toka was crying on her chair, but Blue was comfortably holding her. That made her feel better, but she couldn't stop crying. Domei was unconscious in the bed in front of them. The medics had already treated him in the same way that the healing sorcerers had. He was supposed to wake up in the following few hours, but he hasn't. They could see him still breathing, but Blue recalls Domei being hit in the right arm and having it crushed. He wonders if it can possibly repair itself and allow him to move again."B-Blue... Will he be alright?" She asked in a terrified voice while crying. She was hugging him tightly. It appeared that she didn't have her teddy bear at her side. Blu

Chapter 49: The Remains
"Kage Rigakure, our only problem here is those Dark Mobs. The ones who remain are powerful and can't be defeated easily. In your state, you are lowered down to a normal swordsman level. Major fatigue in both arms and legs, could barely stand and trembling, have a few broken bones and the loss of blood, it's worsening for you," an unknown Hashira said to him as he took a deep breath and sighs. He glanced in the far distance and saw two legends behind the mask standing menacingly. The giant monster was on their far left, charging towards unknown Hashiras. The gigantic monster was destroying the ground with his weapon and foot. He saw Hirashiki WeraGakure, who was losing blood and worried with a struggling swordsman alongside him. They were both holding their swords in their right hands in the distance, in front of the Dark King, who was accompanied by five additional subordinates. "Hirashiki WeraGakure! We face again! This is kinda exhausting. Looked at the sky! It's daylight and you

Chapter 48: An Even More Darkening Battle Field
The legends behind the mask were all wounded on the battlefield. Almost all of the forces of the Dark King were wiped out. Only a thousand remain, yet there are only three Shira's that were dead. A few of them were guarded by fellow Shiras and some of them were unconscious on the ground. They were in a cleared area near the massive ravine. The Dark King appeared to be injured, and part of his arm did not recover. Kuro was nowhere to be found, while Kage Rigakure was unconscious on the ground. The Dark Legend was likewise nowhere to be found, except for his eagle, which was perched on top of a gigantic vine of a giant tree to their right. He was also seeking for the Dark Legend, who had gone missing in the previous hours. It was near afternoon and all of them came to a halt to look at each other. Everywhere they looked, it was destroyed and all of the swordsmans were holding their swords in their right hand. Suddenly, the Dark King began laughing as the giant portal behind them rema

Chapter 47: Shuzi and the Shadow Guard Swordsman (Last Part: The Past Æ's)
After meeting at the demolished Capital building of the Ganko Village, which is thrown outside, Kenki, Shuzi, and Nurui Fakure, the shadow guard swordsmen, have a brief conversation. They ended their conversation and decided to return to the Village.Kenki cleared his throat as he started running. He came to a halt as soon as he noticed Nurui Fakure approaching her. He kneeled in front of her, and she hopped up behind his back. Kenki made an expressionless face, and Shuzi did the same behind the mask. The two of them began running and entering the forest, heading for the Ganko Village. It was far from them making them both fasten their feet. They sprint by massive trees on both sides. They were sprinting on grass when Shuzi noticed the big branches above her and the green foliage, as well as the blue sky and orange light. She cleared her throat as she felt peace for a moment."Hey, Kenki. I'd like to ask, what happened to the village now? I haven't been back in a while, I'm sure it'

Chapter 46: The Capital Building (Part 7_Æ)
Kenki was sprinting through the forest on a grassy path, gazing around. As he looks around, he notices blood in the trunks of the massive trees around him. He can also smell blood as he looks out into the distance and sees obliterated land. In the distance, he could also see destroyed big trees. Some of it was on the ground, and half of it had been ruined and cut. That caused his eyes to widen as he dashed passed a dead swordsman on his left. That caused him to come to a halt as he turned to his left to see the unknown swordsman leaning against the massive tree and sitting motionless on the ground."A swordsman all the way here?! What?!" Kenki exclaimed angrily. As he got closer to the dead swordsman on the ground. He discovered the swordsman had been torn in two. He was one of the region's exceptional swordsmen who appeared to be dead and unlucky. He notices his split-in-half sword in his side. Kenki's eyes widened as he averted his gaze. As soon as he looked away, he noticed a pic
