Volume 2 The Executioner Chapter 105: Entering into the realm of selflessness!
Ogata not only couldn't count how many enemies he had killed, but he also couldn't count how many wounds he had on his body.
He only knew that his body felt heavy now.
My hands and feet feel heavy, my eyelids feel heavy, and my head feels heavy.
As his head felt heavy, he also felt dizzy.
Ogata felt his vision go dark and thought it was because something got into his eye.
However, no matter how much he rubbed, his vision could not return to normal, instead it became darker and darker.
It was only then that Ogata realized that it was not because of something in his eyes, but simply because he was about to reach his limit...
"Look at the knife!"
Another slash came towards him.
His hands and feet became heavy, making Ogata slow down both his attack and defense.
He could only watch as the blow struck his left shoulder.
The blow was so powerful that despite the protection of the chain mail, Ogata still suffered a shallow wound on his left shoulder.
"Ha...ha...ha..." Ogata, who was still maintaining the Source Breathing state, was gasping violently and greedily absorbing every bit of air around him.
Perhaps because of his extremely tense mind, Ogata can still barely maintain his breathing.
——Have you reached...the limit...?
Feeling that he had almost used up all his strength, Ogata was now kneeling on one knee with his left knee against the ground.
He thrust his left wakizashi into the ground and pressed his right hand, which was holding the katana, onto his raised right knee, hoping to use this to generate strength and stand up again.
However, no matter how hard Ogata tried, his body would not obey him...
Looking at Ogata who was kneeling on one knee, the warriors surrounding him immediately showed ferocious smiles filled with greed and excitement.
However, Ogata's heroic posture, which was like that of a ghost, left an indelible impression on them, so that even though Ogata had already knelt on one knee, they did not dare to move forward rashly.
They only dared to hold the knife tightly which gave them a sense of security, and slowly moved towards Ogata.
Looking at the warriors approaching him from all directions, Ogata clenched his teeth and tried to squeeze out every bit of strength in his body.
--stand up……
——Stand up quickly!
——How can I fall down like this when I haven’t cut that bastard Matsudaira Gennai into pieces yet…
Although Ogata tried his best, his legs were unable to support him to stand up as he wished.
The samurai surrounding Ogata have all discovered that Ogata has really reached his limit.
The samurai closest to Ogata licked his lips, raised his sword high and rushed towards Ogata, shouting:
"The 30 taels are mine!"
…
…
Nanahara, who had been watching the battle, looked at Ogata who was about to be beheaded, and whispered:
"Is it finally over? I killed 37 people in total. I am really impressed that he was able to kill so many people when he was outnumbered by 100.
…
…
Ogata clearly saw a samurai rushing towards him, and he also clearly saw that the samurai had raised his sword high and had begun to chop it down.
If he didn't react, his head would be gone soon.
Although the sense of crisis in his heart had reached its limit, Ogata could do nothing but watch the blade of the knife get closer and closer to his neck.
--don't want……
——I don’t want to…die here…
——I want to...win...
In a trance, Ogata only felt the faces of his master Hanbei, Mikami, Makino and others appearing before his eyes.
——I haven’t… avenged my master… and my brothers…
Then I saw the faces of Kuranaga, Ichiro and others.
——If I die here... Ichiro and the others will have died in vain...
Finally, Ogata saw the terrifyingly pale face of Matsudaira Gennai again.
——I haven’t… cut Matsudaira Gennai into pieces yet…
In about a breath of time, the sword of the samurai standing in front of Ogata would be able to hit Ogata's neck and cut him in two.
--stand up……
Ogata used the Source Breathing frantically, taking in big gulps of air, hoping to keep himself awake.
——I don’t want to die here…
Although the breathing rhythm of Source Breathing is strange, it can surprisingly ensure the supply of oxygen. Even in a battle with intense consumption, there is no feeling of insufficient oxygen inhaled into the lungs.
——To win…
——I want to win…!
The enemy's blade would hit Ogata's neck in half a breath...
——I will defeat these one hundred warriors!
——And then defeat that Nanahara!
——Finally, he cut Matsudaira Gennai into pieces.
Ogata didn't notice that...his originally rapid breathing was now slowly becoming smoother in a strange way...
——Now... we must win!
…
…
The blade was only three fingers' distance away from Ogata's neck.
The warrior seemed to have already seen the 30 taels of money waving at him, and a smile full of greed and ecstasy appeared on his cheeks.
Nanahara, who was watching the battle not far away, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the winner had been decided.
The other samurai who did not have the chance to chop off Ogata's head looked frustrated.
When Matsudaira Gennai saw that the game was over, he pouted in displeasure, as if he had not seen enough.
Just when everyone thought that this bloody battle was over and Ogata's head was about to fall to the ground...
laugh!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was heard.
But this was not the sound of Ogata's head being chopped off.
Rather, it was the sound of Ogata beheading the samurai in front of him.
When the samurai's blade was only three fingers away from Ogata's neck, Ogata's head suddenly dropped down.
As if it was calculated precisely, the distance that Ogata buried his head was just enough for him to dodge the slash.
After dodging the slash, he stepped on the ground, bent his knees, and slashed forward.
The blade turned into cold light and swept across the waist of the warrior who still had an ecstatic look on his face.
It was not until his upper body fell to the ground along the smooth cut that the ecstasy on the warrior's face turned into horror.
"What?!" Qiyuan's eyes suddenly widened.
Nanahara saw clearly that Ogata's slash was more accurate, faster, and more powerful than any other slash he had made since the beginning of the battle!
…
…
Ogata felt that his vision had become strange.
The originally dark vision now became clear.
Not only did his vision become clearer, but Ogata also felt as if his field of vision had expanded several times.
In addition, Ogata felt that his body, which originally felt like it was filled with lead, now became exceptionally light.
His physical condition was so good that even Ogata was surprised.
Just as Ogata skillfully cut the enemy in front of him who was about to chop off his head in half, a strange system voice that he had never heard before sounded in his mind:
[Ding! The host enters the state of selflessness! ]
