Being A Shinobi As A Tarnished

Chapter 38: Fallenstar Encounter



A week after Gunne's conquest of Castle Mourne.

A large wooden entity stood before Tyr. "Such a magneficient being."

"Its grotesque." Agheel said in a disgusted tone.

It was an Ulcerated Tree Spirit. It had two skinny limbs in the front and a snake like body. It started racing at him immediately.

Tyr weaved handseals with one hand. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!!" He inhales and lets out a roar as his left hand was launching throwing knives through the flames.

The beast was lit ablaze. The blades pierce through its body as it screamed in agony. Weaving hand signs with both hands, he summons his uchigatana in hand while lightning covers it. The blade conducts lightning and charges at the beast. As it wailed and flailed around, Tyr boosted onto the wall and to the ceiling. He lunged off the ceiling and rotates like a beyblade. His exterior is seemingly engulfed in lightning. As the flamed were dulling down thanks to the movement of the tree spirit, Tyr splits through it down the middle, bisecting the creature.

"That was didn't look too difficult." Agheel said.

"Of course, killing a crying spirit is easy for me." Tyr responded.

Arising from the corpse was the Spirit Ashes of the Banished Knight, Oleg. Using chakra, he keeps them together. Oleg arises from the ashes as a materialized incorporeal form.

"Has my spirit been blessed with a master anew?" Oleg asked.

"Hello there." Tyr greeted the man.

"Maybe not." Oleg said to himself.

"You're long from Leyndell Castle. What is your soul doing so far from your original post?" Tyr approached the spirit.

"Have you yet visited a cemetry before child?" Oleg asked.

"I know this is a grave but why so far from the castle? Well, I guess that wouldn't matter would it?" He smirked. "Hello there Oleg. I'll be your new Lord, The Next Elden Lord; Tyr."

"You sought to be the next Elden Lord?" Oleg looked the man up and down.

"By Queen Marika's words!!" The knight started laughing. "The title of Elden Lord is none to be trifled with."

"So, you burnt this village down....because of??"

"Why is a reason necessary to burn the weak?" Agheel answered.

(Right, he's uncivilized.) Tyr sighed. "Fair enough."

"The sigh of disappointment, is there something you disagree with Tarnished?"

"Nothing of importance." Tyr looked away from the dragon. Tyr's physical body was exploring the village.

Victims of Agheel's flames prayed and aimlessly stared into nothing. "You really messed these guys up." Tyr commented.

"As if I care." Agheel scoffs.

"You really have no remorse for hurting these people." He started walking down a stairway.

"Does an albanauric feel sorrow for stepping on a dung beetle?" Agheel asked.

The sigh came out. "Fair enough."

"There it is again!! What do you disapprove of you brainless cuckoo!!"

"Don't worry about it, Agheel. You wouldn't understand." Tyr approached a door of metal.

"That isn't productive." Agheel said.

"Whatever, humph." He grips the end of the door and straightens his knees before pushing the door up to open it fully.

Agheel's eyes sparkle. "Treasure!! Hopefully it is something of admirable quality."

Tyr opened the chest and smoke arised from its innards.

"ITS A TRAP!!" Agheel exclaimed.

They were teleported to a shack in an undisclosed area. "Ah, we're here."

"Where is here, exactly?" The dragon asked its host.

Tyr stepped out of the small shed he appeared in. "The Selia Crystal Tunnel." Raining down on him was projectiles from an unknown creature.

"Above you!" The dragon warned. Tyr leaps to the left to avoid the attack. He then jumped onto the wall and looked directly at the origin of the attack, a Lesser Kindred Of Rot.

A sword appeared in his hand. He chucks it at the monster in which it responds with ducking under it. Tyr then appears above it, coming down with the Uchigatana to the neck. Stabbing through it, he ends the beast's life.

He unsheathed his sword from its body. "We're here to take this place for our own." He summoned Jelly beside him.

"Is the Jellyfish the only one you have?" Agheel asked.

"Well,Oleg is guarding Castle Mourne from Stormveil Reinforcements and Gunne is helping the reconstruction of the Castle. So it can't be helped. Plus, Jelly is all I need." Tyr looked at Jelly and pet them. "Hey Jelly, good job being Irina's security guard."

The spirit turned pink from the praise given by Tyr.

"Now can you clear out the guys in this area?" Tyr gently asked.

They immediately turned back to their original color and disappeared. "Thank you, Jelly!!"

Contorted cries of death was heard in the background as Tyr was using the pickaxe from one of the workers to mine some of the glintstone crystals.

Some time passes and Jelly appears beside Tyr again. "You're done? Great Job!!" Tyr pets Jelly causing jelly to turn pink again. "You can hang out with Agheel as a reward for your greatness."

"Huh? What? I have yet to consent to such!!" Agheel yelled out.

Jelly vanished and appeared before Agheel. Agheel looked at them and went quiet. The spirit happily floated around Agheel while the dragon sat there in silence.

Tyr climbed a ladder and walked into a pathway of the cave. There were dead Lesser Kindred Of Rot laid out on the ground. "Wow, I thought Jelly would only tackle the ones in the main area but she also took on the ones back here too."

He walked to a set of wooden doors that he kicks open. Inside the room was a Fallingstar Beast. "Hello the-" Tyr dropped his head as a rocky tail cracks through those it touched. Breaking the wall behind him. "Why're you so angsty, bullhead?"

Tyr rushed head first toward the beast as it begun to charge at him. When they were close, he leapt above it and came down with a punch to the top of its head. CRACK!! The inside of his hand fractured immediately. "Tuh." The meteoric bull kept running forward and Tyr landed safely.

The beast turns its body and faced Tyr again. "That things skin is too tough."

Purple lightning appeared on its mandibles. Tyr responds by chucking his body backwards but the wall behind was was being elongated into a spike. Hearing the deformation of rocks, he flips his body forward. The rock sliced through the back of his armor. Tyr hits the rock with his heel which breaks it. He then pushes against its broken end to kick the spiked rock at the Fallingstar Beast. It hits their skin but breaks upon impact.

"Tough bastard." Another comes down from the ceiling. Tyr evades to the left and does the same again, breaking the spiked pillar of rock and sending it at the beast. But it breaks upon impact again.

The area around him is then reconfigured as multiple spiked rocks elongate toward him. "Shit!!" Persumably, they all hit their designated target. Blood hits the ground in minute portions. What is revealed is the scales upon Tyr's body stopping him from being completely impaled. He breaks off the rocks by smashing through them. But the Fallingstar Beast was already galloping toward him. Its head tilts down as it gets close to him. Tyr puts his foot on their horns but it flicks its head up faster than he expected, propelling him to the roof. Hit backs smacks against the roof top, causing cracks to form above him. "Gaah!!!" Another spike of rocks form and is sent from the ground up to Tyr. Tyr summons the Tree Sentinel shield and blocks the attack.

(This is stupid. Its hide is rock so fire won't work on it. Its too durable for slash attacks to work on it. So what should I..) An idea rose within him. Tyr wove multiple handsigns as the creature rushed at him. He lands on the ground and leaps over the Fallenstar's body. "Water Style: Water Trumpet Jutsu!!" He exhales a stream of water that hits the back of the beast. While it didn't hurt it, it pushed the beast off its feet, tilting it over. Puddles are created around the area from the water that bounced off the body of the creature.

Weaving the tiger seal, the puddles of water around the Fallenstar Beast twist and burst forth at its body as drills. "Water Style: Water Fang Bullet Jutsu!!" It drills at their fallen body from all angles.

His hands come together to make more signs. His hand electrify with a yellow current of electrons. He slung his arm at the beast as it was standing up again. A lightning bolt came out from his hand and soared onto the body of the beast, electrocuting the entirety of its body. With the area it stood on and its body being soaked in water, the electrocution increased in potency.

Tyr, with his sharingan activating, channeled a large amount of chakra into his hand. He poured more chakra into it before his body disappeared from the position he was standing at. Tyr extends his fingers out and collides with the beast's skin with the edge of his fingers. "CHIDORI!!" He aimed for the cracks in the entity's armor made from the Water Fang Bullet drilling into it. Its insides were completely electrified and the destruction of the crack increased until Tyr ran through its body completely. He sighed heavily from the fight, holding his ribs that were most likely broken. His body absorbed the essence of the beast as he turned to it.

He floated out of the tunnel and toward the Site Of Grace laying on top of Jelly. "You're an angel Jelly. Thank you."

Jelly turned pink from the praise. The Site Of Grace registered him as one of the Tarnished chosen by the Erdtree. Jelly vanished, sent back to Agheel. "Lets go home." He used the grace to teleport to the Roundtable Hold.

The one to see him first was Fia. (I know she debuffs me but her bed looks so comfortable.)

"Would you like me to hold you again?" Fia asked.

"That would be nice but I'd like to fall asleep on your bed if you don't mind." Tyr walked to her while holding his rib.

She scooted over. "You may help yourself to my bed."

Tyr laid down in and curled into a ball to fall fast asleep.
