Chapter 15 - ALIEN INVASION

"Rehm? What's up? What happened? Calm down. Drink some water." Ronin said. "There's no time to drink water sir. A rock fell from the sky in the middle of the town. At first, we seized it, but now, it's giving off an aura, which is the same as yours." Rehm explained. "An aura like mine? That isn't possible. No two auras can be the same ever. It's like our fingerprints, never the same. You said it fell from the sky? From outer space?" Ronin asked. "Yes, it seems." Rehm replied. "Let's check it." Ronin said when Rehm took out his two-way radio, only to get shocked. "What happened?" Tadao asked. "There are two weird creatures who have knocked our guards down and are protecting that thing! We need to get there right now!" Rehm gasped. Ronin grabbed everyone and teleported to the center of the town.

Ronin saw two creatures guarding an orb which had the same aura as his. He walked towards the orb when the aliens locked their weapons on Ronin. "Serahnidfhaisndkrhe!!" The alien screeched. "I'm sorry. I don't understand that language." Ronin said calmly. The alien took out a pill and ate it. He then, with incredible speed, held a person's hand and came back to his position. "Translation pills sure do work well. Listen here you outsiders, no harm will be done to our guardian rock. It fell to this planet, and we are here to retrieve it." The alien said angrily. "Listen, you can take back whatever you want, but before that, I have to check this orb at all costs. I feel a connection with it." Ronin said. "A connection? Don't fuck around! Back off, filthy human! Our weapons can easily cut you in half within seconds.!" The creature shouted. "Violence is not always the answer. You can see these Katanas, right? I can shred up into millions of pieces within milliseconds, so choose your words and actions wisely. I don't mean any hard to you or your rock, though I have to check it." Ronin stated. He tried to touch it when the creature took out his sword and blocked his way. "Back off! Who the fuck gave you the permission to touch it!?" The creature shouted. "Every time it's the same thing, again and again. In repeat." Ronin gasped. He summoned his battle gear with hell fire surrounding his hands. The emblem embedded on his chest appeared on his armor. He opened his eyes, which shined dragon blood red. The alien got scared, but said, "You think those eyes can scare us? We've got warriors that have sworn their life to protect the orb. They are way stronger than you can imagine. With just a blink of an eye, they can kill everyone present here." "You sure do have them. But they aren't here to protect your sorry asses from me right now." Ronin taunted. The aliens were stubborn. "Talking ain't cutting it." Ronin grunted. "Mind controlling magic, nightmares." He chanted. Suddenly, all the aliens dropped their weapons and stood still as they fell into the horror of death. They fell down unconscious. Ronin used the opportunity and grabbed the orb. Suddenly, lightning showered on him though he dodged them right in time. He hid the orb in his pocket. A huge creature descended from the sky with huge spacecrafts. "Return our guardian rock at once, you filthy human! You have no right to even touch it!" he shouted. "Now, outsiders will tell me if I can touch something or not, eh? Let me make this clear for you, I don't give a damn about your guardian rock or whatever this shit is. The aura it's letting out is what I wanna check. Let me do my work and leave in peace, or else, you will regret it." Ronin warned him. "That rock has been the source of energy for our planet for centuries. You can't just casually check it to see if it belongs to you. You are risking a whole planet's source of life." He shouted. He teleported in front of Ronin and punched him. He got thrown away to the end of the street. "Now it's done." Ronin said with a frustrated voice. He removed his battle gear and summoned his hellfire armor. The fire covered his whole body like armor. He finally took out his Katanas. "Two blade technique, Miyamoto Musashi." He chanted. His Katanas got covered in blood. The alien laughed at Ronin as he rushed towards him with his weapon, a hammer axe sword. He swung his weapon towards Ronin when Ronin jumped backwards, dodging it with ease. As soon as the weapon hit the ground, a huge crater was formed. This surprised Ronin. The alien thought he scared him but to his surprise, Ronin laughed at him, "So, I simply just have to dodge this? Is it that easy to defeat you guys?" Ronin mocked him. This angered the alien even more. He pounced towards him, again swinging his weapon, this time, faster than before. Ronin collided with the weapon, creating a big smoke. Everyone was surprised because as the dust settled, they saw Ronin, blocking the weapon with his Katana with just one hand. "Don't make enemies that are powerful than you!" The alien shouted. "This line suits you more, kid. You underestimated me and here you are. Trying so hard to kill me while I, obviously being more powerful than you, dodging your puny attacks. Your weapon won't be able to handle one attack from my side." Ronin taunted him as he jumped backwards. The alien was in denial. "A mere human was able to block him with such ease." He thought. With every swing, his confidence broke and broke. He went on a rage rampage, continuously swinging his weapons trying to kill Ronin at an abnormally fast speed. His speed and strength grew faster and stronger with every attack but at the same time, he was losing his confidence with every attack. "Enough playing around. I'll end it." Ronin said, as his Katana, which was covered with blood, got covered with flames now. He took off at such incredible speed that even the alien wasn't able to spot him. He moved his Katana is a slicing manner a thousand of times. "It's over." He said. As he put his katana back in the scabbard. "What do you mean? You didn't do anything." The alien was confused. "You're wrong, kid. Give your beloved weapon a look." Ronin said. When the alien saw his weapon, chills went down his whole body. His weapon was sliced from every inch but still remained intact. Suddenly, greenish red flames appeared from the slices and the weapon disintegrated into ashes. The alien shouted in anger! "Argh!!!!!! I took you lightly, human. I did not think that we would reach here. Generals! Assemble!" He shouted. The spacecraft hovering in the sky opened. Nine aliens of different sizes and weapons jumped off from the spacecraft. "The true strength will now be seen." The alien exclaimed. They held hands and started chanting some spell. Their body started merging into one single form. A light struck them from above, spreading smoke all around the place. Ronin took his defensive stance while Tadao and Samao grabbed Ela and Sam and backed off. Rehm created a shield, defending his army and town people. As the smoke dispersed, a completely different alien with four hands appeared. Each hand held a different weapon. His height was five times that of Rehm. "I asked you not to mess with someone who's way stronger than you, human. Now behold the power of god." The alien claimed. Ronin stood silent in a stance, waiting for the monster to make a move. "I'll kill you!" The monster shouted. "You're boring me. All talk no fight. Come at me already!" Ronin taunted him. The monster enraged and grew in size. He attacked Ronin with a sword which was blocked with Ronin's katana with ease. He used his other three weapons to attack at the same time while Ronin had a handicap. But to his surprise, each weapon got blocked with just two katanas. A sword, a hammer, a scythe, and a diamond mace with spikes. The monster tried to overpower and break the Katanas. He showered spikes from the sky, but they weren't even able to make a dent on the Katanas. In return, the spikes got completely annihilated as they came in contact with the katanas. Ronin broke away from the weapons and jumped over the monster, slicing him on his back. "Argh! You filthy human! SO, YOU REALLY WANT ME TO GO ALL OUT ON YA? I'LL DO IT!" The monster shouted. This time, he got a lot bigger in size. He teleported behind Ronin, attacking him using his mace. Ronin turned back and blocked it but was sent flying, crashing into the entry gate of the town. Before he could stand up, the monster teleported again and this time, used spike shower to keep him down. The spike shower also got blocked but sent Ronin outside the town, flying. Ronin's armor was damaged by the spikes. "Alright, disappear." Ronin chanted. His armor disappeared. The monster was still within the town premises while no one was able to see Ronin. Suddenly, a beam of light appeared from outside the town. It went past the monster. It was him. He travelled at light speed, slashing the monster from both sides. As the monster turned around, two of his arms fell down. "You slashed two arms!? You peasant! How are you able to do this?" He shouted in pain. "If this is the power of god, then take me as the annihilator. Behold the devil." Ronin taunted him again. The monster screamed as the blood continued to drain from his body. "The powers of the Underworld, unleash the devil." Ronin chanted. His whole body was covered with a black substance. He burst out of it and there it was, The Devil From. Dark armor, blacking red eyes, cursed swords, huge wings, and a tail. The Katanas were replaced by legendary Kuro swords used by upper rank devils who have the power to even finish lower or mid-level gods. There were only ten of these swords ever created and two were in Ronin's hands. He sent dark slashes towards the alien which were nearly at light speed. When the monster got hit by one of the slashes, it cut him in half but didn't kill him. One of the alien generals disconnected from the alien's body. His life was sucked out and his body turned grey. Three more slices hit him directly resulting in three generals getting pushed out of the main body. This made the monster weaker. Ronin again sent three more slashes which he tried to counter with his weapons but got instantly obliterated as the slashes cut through his weapons like butter, bringing down three more generals. Ronin flew to him at light speed, held his throat and sucked his life out like a pure devil. People were thankful to him but instantly got horrified by his actions. As soon as the alien died, he turned towards the crowd. He nearly attacked a human when Grid appeared and saved him. Ronin lost his senses as soon as his devil from took over. "Oi Ronin. You wanna do it this way huh?" Grid said. Ronin ran towards Grid with the swords and sent a slash. The slash hit Grid, but nothing happened. Ronin was confused. "I'm an upper-rank devil, you moron. These don't work on me. I'm protected by the underworld flames." Grid explained as he punched Ronin in his face. Ronin flew and punched Grid. He didn't dodge it but used it as an opportunity to get hold of Ronin with body manipulation magic to deal huge damage. Ronin continued to punch Grid, only to be delt with the damage. Enraged by the play, Ronin rushed towards Grid with his swords, punched him thrice, and as soon as he fell, Ronin nearly stabbed him.
