After Ajax starts his attack in Nagama he hits what seems to be a killing blow. Only for Nagama to still be alive and reminding Ajax one ominous response. He hasn't unsheathed his sword.
Ajax pants and struggles to keep his eyes open as he watches Nagama unsheath his sword.
"Not yet. I won't fall yet. Can't die." Ajax mumbles.
"Sir Nagama is gonna use his sword? He must think the loser is worth killing with his sword or whatever." Poka says, looking away.
Jwiler looks on with worry as Nagama has now fully unsheathed his sword.
"Ajax! Whatever you do. Don't let him hit you!" He yells.
"Like I ever planned on it." Ajax says as he slightly stumbles.
"What's the matter Ronin? You seemed to have lost a step! Where was all that energy you had earlier!" Nagama yells.
"It's still here! Ajax yells defiantly as he rushes at Nagama.
"Seriously!? Ajax in that state is still able to move that quickly?" Jwiler gasps.
Ajax rushes and is met with a swing from Nagama as both of them clash swords.
"You're slower than before, what's wrong Ronin?" Nagama grins.
Before Ajax can answer Nagama sword brushes past Ajax's and cuts his arm.
"Yeah that won't stop me. It seems defense is pointless now." Ajax says.
"No Ajax it's a tr-." Jwiler starts before Poka sword rests at Jwiler's neck.
"I'm tired of you interfering. Are you sure you still support master Nagama with that mouth of yours?" Poka says coldly.
"Ye-yes Jwiler does." Jwiler says, sighing.
The exchange continues for a bit where Ajax would be in the offensive only for Nagama to cut him in his right arm every time. Not enough to stop Ajax but enough to draw blood.
"What's the matter? You're not hitting to kill." Ajax groans as Nagama cuts him on the arm again.
"Oh it seems you haven't realized it yet. But this fight is over young Ronin. Nagama says keep his blade at bay.
"What the hell are you talking about? I'm not near finished yet!" Ajax says defiantly.
"Sword art: Monumental Assault-!" Ajax yells out only for a loud pop to come from his arm as his sword remains pointing towards the ground as Nagama grins on.
"My arm it's…so heavy. What the." Ajax says through gritted teeth.
"It's finally dawned on you hasn't it? Your weirdly immense physical prowess lets you survive a bit longer than you should. My sword does have a charm. It's the multiplier charm. It lets me multiply whatever I want. And I've found out that weight is the easiest way to quiet pests." Nagama says, stepping closer.
Ajax grits his teeth and digs his heels into the ground to try and lift his sword to no avail.
"Try all you want, Ronin scum but you won't be able to lift that sword. I cut your arm 18 times. So that means your arm weighs oh 36 times its normal weight. And considering your physical prowess. Your arm currently weighs over 500 pounds!" Nagama says laughing as he steps over Ajax.
"Oh yeah then I'll just use my other arm!" Ajax says as he switches stances and grabs his sword with his left hand.
"Oh no wait, don't do that ,anything but that!" Nagama says, panicking.
Ajax tries to lift the sword again but also to no avail.
"Is what I would have said if I was a moron. My charm affects more than just the single thing. Both your arms are over 500 pounds now. Nagama says removing the facade.
"You really thought you could beat me, you damn fool? I'm a god among this place. And when I kill you everyone here even your little Kabukimono will be dead. Nagama says.
"Shut up… damn you. I won't let you. I. I WON'T LET YOU!!" Ajax yells.
The sword that Ajax had been so insistent on lift slowly starts to rise from the ground.
"His physical prowess is still going strong? You're joking!" Nagama gasps in surprise.
"Well it's too bad I won't let you get any stronger from here!" Nagama declares as he thrust his sword through Ajax's chest causing Ajax to cough up a dubious amount of blood and drop his sword.
"It is over. Ajax Nozami is dead." Nagama says sheaths his sword and turns his back on Ajax.
"Alright about time sir. I knew that pipsqueak was no match for you!" Poka says delighted.
Jwiler suddenly rushes past Nagama to check on Ajax.
"Ah, it seems you do have deep desires for the boy." Nagama says grinning.
"There's no use in checking on him the boy's dead, I'm sure you've noticed." He laughs.
"Shut your mouth. Ajax isn't dead. There's no way he'd just die. He would never. Don't go tossing words out like that!" Jwiler declares out to Nagama.
Poka takes a step forward only for Nagama to hold his hand out.
"Don't worry I got this. After all this is my fault I'll deal with this little outburst of Jwiler's." Nagama grins.
Meanwhile Ishida walks down a dirty road in the middle of god knows where.
"Jeez this place is big, who knows how long it'll be until I find people. But I must stay focused. Rumi needs her Knight in shining armour!" Ishida says, hyping himself up.
"If you're looking for a girl named Rumi Crystal she's already been killed." A voice says from behind Ishida.
"Hey what the hell did you just say why the hell are you lying?!" Ishida says turning around to reveal one of the bandits that were involved in the train robbery.
"Oh it's you guys again. So where's the rest of your gang?" Ishida says noticing the lack of reinforcements.
"Oh don't worry Nagama hired us to kill anyone we see. That girl of yours has already been killed." The figure grins deviously.
"Yeah right. Like I'll believe that. Rumi Crystal the master thief getting killed? Your bluff is almost laughable. You want to entice me to fight you." Ishida stabs through the lies of the bandit.
Ishida then proceeds to charge at the bandit.
"WELL YOU'VE SUCCEEDED!" Ishida yells.
"Oh good, you're a smart one." The bandit chuckles.
"No armour on with an orangish black sword. Just like the one Ryizen has, he must be a cursed sword user. Gotta be careful." Ishida thinks to himself.
"Then I'll go for the head Martial Art: Homage Shot!" Ishida says kicking the bandit straight in the face causing him to fly back.
"Jeez you were easy. Didn't think you'd be a waste of my time. Know back to finding Rumi." Ishida taunts before turning around and beginning to walk away.
"YOU FOOL YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KNOWN TO NEVER TURN YOUR BACK AGAINST ANYONE YOU DAMN PUNK! CURSED SWORD ARTS: FORBIDDEN SHREDDER!" The bandit yells quickly in pursuit.
"Like taking candy for a baby and you said your bluff was good." Ishida smirks as he jumps out the way.
"Sacred Martial Art:I mpacto de colisión!" Ishida says as he swiftly gets behind the bandit before punching him in the back of the head.
"Told you you're a waste of time." Ishida says as he continues walking and walks past the unconscious bandit.
