Yasuke : Rise of the Black Dahlia Yasuke, Chapter 14 : Deep Blue
Perseus unleashed a severe wave of chi as he built his blue aura. "Deep Blue!" Botaro and the others tried to build their auras as well until they started to feel a certain pressure. This pressure caused breathing to be abnormally difficult and it began to make it abnormally difficult to move. "You won't last more than three minutes in this state." Perseus explained. "My Deep Blue allows me to emulate the pressure you would feel deep down into the ocean. I've just started at the maximum depth recommended for humans, but little by little, the pressure will increase until you feel as if you're at the bottom of the ocean.""How did he even manage to make his chi this potent?" Kaji uttered as they were all soon forced to the ground. "I can't move at all." "I created this technique in honor of my late father, Poseidon." Perseus replied. "His chi is amongst the most potent I've ever felt, even more potent than the King himself, and he loved water. Before I could train with him, I had to

After building his aura, Gozu's chi formed a small book that continued to hover on the left side of him. "Gozu is really taking this battle serious...he plans on using his God's Hand from the beginning" Nala thought. After seeing this, Perseus noticed something about the book. It was radiating it's own chi that felt completely different than Gozu's. "I can tell he's not joking around." Perseus thought. "It would be wise to do the same." "To be able to show you that I'm far from weak, I had to start this fight off with my strongest technique." Gozu explained. "So go ahead." Perseus stated as he entered his battle stance. "Show me what you're made of."The Spartan's fighting style was taught to be as evenly offensive and defensive as possible. They always carried sufficient armor, a sturdy shield, and a sword or spear. Their famous battle stance could be identified by the positioning of these weapons and armor. The proper stance begins with their non-dominant foot leading with thei
Yasuke : Rise of the Black Dahlia Yasuke, Chapter 16 : King Nebuchadnezzar's Might Part Two
After hearing his voice, Gozu, Botaro, Perseus and the two others found themselves within in presence. After a divine flash of light rose in the sky, they found him standing amongst them in the flesh. "King Nebuchadnezzar, it's a honor." Botaro uttered as he struggled to raise his arm for a respectful gesture. "Praise not, elder one." Nebuchadnezzar replied. "The Black Dahlia has been secured, he is already on his way back to Namunda." "Is that so?" Perseus replied. "That must mean you had to defeat Domitia, Mephistopheles, and the others." "Think not, brave one. There's no point in trying to defy me in the slightest. I can assure that you can and will be dispatched with ease." Nebuchadnezzar responded. "You should rush to your fellow Spartans aid, they need it right now." King Nebuchadnezzar snapped his fingers, which seemed to let out a wave of energy that fully eradicated the pressure of Perseus' Deep Blue. Botaro, Nala, and Kaji found themselves able to move again and quickly
Yasuke : Rise of the Black Dahlia Yasuke, Chapter 17 : Two Birds, One Stone
Just as the Trident rammed through King Nebuchadnezzar's head, three snakes bit into the back of Perseus' neck. King Nebuchadnezzar's shocked face became a dripping, bloody mess as his trembling body slowly collapsed to the ground. After seeing this technique connect, Perseus' remaining strength was completely exhausted and he too fell to the ground. The snake's bite weakened his chi potency until it began to completely fade away. "King Nebuchadnezzar!" Botaro stated as he rushed to the fallen king's side. "It seems what they've told me is true. Somehow, I can feel this snakes pumping some form of venom into my body." Perseus thought. "It feels like my chi is being drained from my body. I know when it does, the result will be fatal. But, somehow I'm satisfied. Could this be the feeling of Nirvana my father spoke of..." The Spartans of the past always shared one common belief. The biggest determinant of true strength comes from what you experience in your lifetime. Those who have be

"I cannot label what I'm about to say as the truth, because truly I don't know. But, I heard that King Nebuchadnezzar became King by defeating the previous King before him, King Solomon." Logias explained. "The same King Solomon who was able to defeat the previous King of Spartania, King Apollo." "He beat King Apollo?" Domitia said in shock. "Doesn't King Leonidas consider King Apollo to be stronger than him?" "I've heard him say that before." Mephisto answered. "But, I cannot tell if he's selling himself short to uphold the respect he has for him. King Apollo was like a father to King Leonidas. The only family he had that cared for him." "Whether King Nebuchadnezzar is capable of defeating Leonidas doesn't matter. All that matters is that he is a formidable opponent, that we'll have to come together to defeat." Mona stated. "No." Domitia thought. "This is a matter King Leonidas should tend to himself. As much as I'd like to enlist in the battle, King Nebuchadnezzar seems to be com
Yasuke : Rise of the Black Dahlia Yasuke, Chapter 19 : Women of Spartania
With his ability named the "Sphere of Promise", King Musa was able to reverse all of the damage done to the Kingdom of Neserus. All of the buildings were repaired, all of the people hurt were healed. However, King Musa still faced the curiosity and concern from the Knights enlisted in his Order. Therefore, King Musa scheduled a meeting that would bring the Kingdom of Neserus and the Kingdom of Spartania's leaders and warriors together. While he was preparing for this, which was only a few days away, the junior knights Gozu and Nala continued on their journey to bring Perseus back to Spartania. Once they set foot into the Spartan's native land, they were puzzled at the sight of Leonidas' Kingdom. There were no gates surrounding the Kingdom of Spartania nor were there any knights actively standing on guard. The only thing that enabled the young knights to realize they were in Spartan territory, was the Spartans signature spear and shield that was sticking out of the ground. The confusio

After Botaro and Kaji made it back to the Kingdom of Namunda, they were met with King Nobunaga. He was cheerful that they managed to take Yasuke from Neserus despite what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. Despite King Nebuchadnezzar's condition, Nobunaga's onto focus was throwing a celebration. "My King, I know it may be hard for you to hear. But, King Nebuchadnezzar fell in his battle against the Spartan Captain Perseus." Botaro explained. "He managed to capture Yasuke, which is indeed a win. But losing King Nebuchadnezzar in battle is still a loss. I'm having my own herbalist treating him with medicine currently. But, I think we should have the Order's head herbalist working on healing him." "No, that won't be necessary." King Nobunaga stated as he poured himself a drink. "You have your guy doing all he can, which is fine for me. Don't stress Botaro. You should have a drink, try to enjoy yourself." "I'm glad your in good spirits but I can't celebrate knowing King Nebuchadnezzar wo

"The time has come for you to join the rest of them." "You seriously think you'll defeat me? Come try your luck then?" Two swords rose from two sets of opposing hands. Both of the two warriors wielding the swords entered their stance with a look that expressed everything that wasn't being said. No regrets, no remorse, no shame, but most of all, no retreat. One of the warriors lunged forward first, with the tip of the sword pointed at the opposing warrior's head. *TING* The other warrior used the hilt of his sword to offset the trajectory of the attack, and countered with a quick sword spin that resulted in his foe earning a stab to his lead shoulder. The stab forced the initial warrior to drop his blade as the other delivered a kick that forced him to the ground. Before he could realize, he was without the option of evading and watched the tip of the blade soar towards his face. "You should've joined me when you had the chance, Yasuke." *SWOOSH* "I won't join you!" Yasuke yell

"The first thing you need to implement into your technique is a feint attack." Logias explained. "A feint attack is simply a deceptive attack or movement that's used to distract your opponent. With a feint, you make them think you're going to do something, and then you do something else." Domitia instructed. "When you're dealing with a technique that's going to take a few moments to set up, feint attacks will buy you the time needed." Logias continued. "If they're too busy focusing on feint attacks, they won't be able to see the real attack coming." Aristodemus stated. "Exactly." Domitia replied. "So what type of feint attack should I use?" Aristodemus inquired. "Well, that's something we can not teach you." Logias answered. "Yeah, feint attacks are just one of the many fundamentals of combat. Everybody should study and truly learn all of the fundamentals of combat. But how you choose to incorporate them into your arsenal is completely up to you." Domitia replied. "But, I can g

Yasuke, Chapter 27 : Aristodemus' Training
Yasuke was alone, meditating in a field of lush greenery a few hours before dawn. This has become a routine for him as King Agasga instructed him to do so. His words began to echo in Yasuke's head. "Everyone always gets the idea of Nirvana wrong. They say it leads to being able to heal the diseased, to beat the unbeatable, but it is all wrong. To reach Nirvana means to do only what your chi enables you to. There's no personal feats once you've reached Nirvana. We are merely just pawns blessed to be vessels of this legendary force. We have to work to have enough resolve and remove ourselves from greatness. I do not think. I do not act. I allow the nodes of Nirvana to manifest in my body. First, young Yasuke, you must learn to go with the flow of chi in its purest form. Do not think. Do not act. Just allow the chi you're surrounded by to govern you." Soon, Yasuke's chi began to form. But, it expanded in a way that appeared like it wasn't his own. The more he focused, the more it seeme

Yasuke, Chapter 26 : Ascended to Nirvana
Perseus's body was brought back to the Kingdom of Spartania, where it was kept and cared for directly under Hercules. Once Leonidas returned from his journey of taking Yasuke to the Kingdom of Objibwe, Hercules was enabled to relinquish this position to his king. After a few days, Perseus began to show signs of consciousness. Leonidas was doubtful at first. But, he quickly realized that this was a part of Perseus's ascension. Everyone, including the Spartans, agreed with the notion that you can not escape death. When one's life has expired, there's nothing they can do to prolong it. However, those who were chosen became able to overcome the very concept of death. He who rises above the inevitable force known as death reaches Nirvana, the highest level of enlightenment. Once King Leonidas realized the change Perseus was going through, it became hard to say the same composed leader he usually was. For the first time in a long time, the Great King Leonidas smiled. The young Spartans pres

Yasuke, Chapter 25 : A New Beginning
"I hope this experience teaches you something." King Leondias uttered as he walked past King Nobunaga. "King Leondias, wait!" Nobunaga uttered as he scrambled to his feet. "I didn't plan to inflict such a heavy gash on you." "You didn't plan on it because you didn't believe I would give you the opportunity. But, once it occured to you that you could, you wanted to." King Leondias replied. "There's no point in sugarcoating anything. You already said you wanted to make sure I could protect myself and Yasuke. And to really test if I could protect him, you had to attack with killer intent." "King Leondias is so naive that it's almost endearing." Nobunaga thought as he watched him walk away. "It's okay if he takes Yasuke, I have another plan." King Nobunaga followed King Leondias into the Kingdom of Namunda, but as soon as he entered, he went on his own way. After witnessing their duel, King Musa and Spartans left to their own duties. The Spartans left to return to Spartania and awaited

Yasuke, Chapter 24 : Self-Inflictions
*A FEW MINUTES EARLIER* King Leonidas was teleported to the entrance of the Kingdom of Namunda. "Logias' Lacuna Breach has improved." Leonidas thought. "He always tries to downplay his ability, but it's one of the most developed of all the young spartans." As Leondias began to walk towards it, he felt a certain energy that spiked his senses. This made him curious, but also very defensive. "King Leonidas." He heard a voice say. He looked up to see King Nobunaga jump from the top and land just a few feet away from him. "I know you're here for Yasuke, but I have a few things I need to tell you." He revealed. "Despite how it may look, our wishes for Yasuke aren't that different. Yes, there are a few things I want to use his powers to accomplish. But, I don't view him as some lifeless object. I sincerely want him to be happy and prosperous as well." "That's good." Leondias vaguely replied. "I also care about his safety." King Nobunaga continued. "And that's why I'd like to challen

Yasuke, Chapter 23 : Tense Encounters
The Spartans made their way to the Kingdom of Neserus, and were finally approaching the entrance. After being greeted by a few Knights in King Musa's Order, they started walking down the golden path. The Golden Path was the infamous long road made by pure gold which led straight to the Kingdom. After remembering what he saw, Domitia began to point out how well the Kingdom looked after being totally destroyed. "I forgot to tell you guys this." He started. "King Nebuchadnezzar completely trashed the entire kingdom with a wave of energy he unleashed. But, King Musa was able to fix the entire thing immediately." One of the many other young Spartans caught up to Domitia to ask him a question. "How did he do that?" "You should have been here, Kratos." Domitia replied. "He has an ability called Luck Share, which basically allows him to increase his chances of getting the possibilities he favors. And he's able to combine Luck Share with another ability he has called the Sphere of Promise,

Yasuke, Chapter 22 : Rude Awakening
A man was sitting on one of the many hills in a field of grass. There were plenty of different flowers and bushes in the field, but none close to the position he was in. His eyes were closed, but he was looking in the direction of the sun. His feet were planted into the ground and loosened soil was up to his ankles. His hands were raised above his head yet appeared to be in a relaxed state. It was the man that Yasuke saw before. The man that had the same brown pigment on his skin that Yasuke had and was very thin. Soon, he was joined by another person in similar clothing to his own. "King Agasga!" King Agasga lowered his hands and opened his eyes to look at his visitor. "The imbalance is becoming greater and greater." The man said to him. "It's becoming worse than we thought. I think it's time you come out of retirement and solve this issue." "No." King Agasga replied. "It's not my fate to end things this time. It's Yasuke's." "My King...the child is still too young. He can't han
