Chapter 4: Chapter 4 : Start of the Path
While a barkha night woke up to taking a shit in a bush, as he returned to the camp, He noticed something while he was standing at a few tents near that of Guts where he noticed very weak sounds of agitations and noises of struggle.
He knew it was a bunch of mercenaries and that some men had perverse tendencies, Guts was only a child even younger than him so he was possible that he was the target of this kind of predator, it is was an extremely dark world.
He walked quickly but without a noise towards the tent hoping that these weak noises were only the fruit of a restless sleep of guts but when he entered, he saw this pervert of Donovan completely naked in the process of controlling Guts soil that was trying to struggle.
This bastard was erect and was preparing to penetrate the child when Barkha struck a wooden pile which kept the tent straight to drive it into Donovan's anus which pushed a great cry of pain that woke up Everyone in the camp.
Guts completely in tears and still traumatized of what he was living saw Barkha with a sinister expression behind Donovan whose already ugly face was even more distorted by pain.
Barkha asked Guts to dress and follow them outside with his sword, he looked at Donovan with disgust who had cold sweats knowing who was behind him.
"You pig you do exactly what I ask you and at the slightest strange gesture, I put the whole of the pious in your disgusting ass... " Barkha coldly said to Donovan by grabbing the other end of the stick stuck in the rapist's anus, who flinched in pain.
"I'm sorry ... I ... I bought him...I paid Gambino to for the boy this night... I won't do it anymore ... Agh... doen't kill me." The abominable pedophile said when Barkha who has sunk more the stick more to silence him after another cry of pain.
"You'll follow me outside crawling like the disgusting animal that you are, I hope for Gambino that what you just said is false." Barkha said and the men gathered in front of the tent, they saw Barkha get out with Donovan completely naked and on all fours like a dog with a wooden stick in his buttocks whose end outside was run by Barkha.
People wanted to know what had happened but it was not late, Barkha yelled the name of Gambino with anger when Donovan could not bear the shame of all these looks wanted to straighten up to flee but to The second, Barkha twisted the stick in the rapist's ass who could only scream like a pig .
Gambino completely drunk arrived with his crutch because he had been injured during the last battle and when he saw the actors of this agitation, he knew what it was about.
Donovan : Gambino, help me. It was you who sold me Guts for this Night, I didn't do anything wrong . This Kushan kid attacked me for no reason and- (interrupted)
*GAAAAAHGGGH*
Barkha also dried up the pious in his ass to silence him and looked at Gambino by asking him if it was true.
Gambino: (laughs) Yeah, so what ? I sold the kid's little buttocks to Donovan for three silver coins tonight. Do you know how much it cost me to take care of this kid during these 11 years? (at Guts) Don't look at me like that, dirty little shit, you're cursed and my wife who adopted you ended up dying from the plague because she welcomed you. Do you think you are better 'cause I taught you how to wave a sword ? You belong to me and you are nothing, I sold you to Donovan and it would have continued like that.
Listening to that, Guts had his head down and the body that was trembling when Barkha asked him dryly not to cry. He brutally has in the eyes of all, completely pressed the pious in Donovan's anus by a kick and while the rapist has straightened up by the atrocious pain, Barkha grabbed his head to run it at 190 °, Breaking his neck to kill him.
The others saw that and the scene was unreal, Barkha although slightly muscular was only a 16-year -old kid but had just easily breaking the neck of a muscular and stocky adult man like Donovan.
"The kid is strong but he's alone and we are more numerous, he won a lot of gold during the last battle as a reward. Kill this stupid foreign kid and take him everything ..." Gambino said with a mean smile to animate the greed of his men who immediately went to take up their arms and this turn of events made Barkha smile then asked Guts to go hide.
The men began to attack while Barkha took a bare hand combat of Martial Tapasa art. The first man attacked and he dodged the sword before grasping the man's wrist and hitting him with the palm of his free hand to fold his joint in an unnatural shape under his cries of pain .
However, Barkha didn't stop there and snatched his sword to him to decapitate him all at once with it before launching the sword to pierce the face of the nearest mercenary, he avoided another attack to break The sword of the attacker in two before breaking his neck with a spin kick.
The fight continued like this when none of these men even by attacking it in large numbers could touch him. His way of moving, his flexibility, his speed, agility and his monstrous physical strength made him a brutal weapon , he moved like a supernatural being and killed these men one by one with a diabolical smile on his lips.
"He is strong ... he is so strong ..." Guts watched Barkha fights and tightened the catch on his big sword, his friend fighting like that had lit something in him, a kind of flame and before he didn't This realizes, he was already fighting to cover Barkha who shouted on him to hide.
"Gambino, I don't know what madness has devoured your mind but you have to stop it right away. This kid, he's clearly not normal and our men are killed." Darius told Gambino who took his sword and started heading for Barkha.
"I'm going to settle it myself ..." He said and although Darius wanted to hold him back, Gambino struck him in the face . Barkha who was moving with speed and flexibility had just avoided an ax before giving a punch in the enemy's throat and the strength of the blow was such that his neck rose inward while the 'Man dropped his weapon to die of suffocation on the ground.
By pivoting on himself to avoid a rear estocade, Barkha gave a violent elbow strike to the enemy's temple, at the same time distorting the shape of his head so that the man dies after a few convulsions.
"DIE " Gambino yelled, attacking Barkha who had seen him coming but when he struck his sword towards Barkha, the point of another sword pierced his chest and he looked towards the base of the sword to see Guts whose face took on an incredulous expression as if he had just realized that he had just fatally injured Gambino.
"Ga ... Gambino ...?!" Guts said in a second state looking at Gambino who started bleeding from the mouth, he held his hand towards Guts before falling heavily on the ground.
The others watched this scene as if the weather had stopped suddenly, Barkha picked up the Gambino sword and pointed it to Darius in the back of the crowd.
"Darius, Gambino is already dead and it's only his fault, he provoked all of this after allowing Guts to be attacked by Donovan. You have seen what I was capable of without any weapon so I let you imagine what I would do with this sword.
Let us stop this madness here, I'll leave with Guts and the blood will finish flowing unnecessarily but if unfortunately you insist, I'm going to slaughter you to the last ."
Barkha said coldly and Darius although in anger looked at him knowing that what he said was true. One of the men tried to attack but Darius stopped him, he then looked at Barkha before noding.
"I know you are shaken but it's time to pick you up, we leave and from today I'm going to take care of you until you are able to manage completely alone." He said to Guts still shaken by events. Barkha asked him to prepare the little belongings he had and himself went uninstalling his tent and then preparing his wagon when they left but he found that his chests were no longer there.
Noting that, Barkha did nothing but continue his preparations, he took two horses from the troop to pull his wagon and when everything was done, He and Guts went from there without being followed by the others who had stolen and hid his chests.
With Guts in the wagon, He stopped the wagon around 500 m along the river at a specific point where it went to the river. Guts felt the stop and looked where Barkha was going without even trying to ask him before closing his eyes and tightening his sword against him.
A few minutes later, Barkha returned with two wet bags in which could be heard clicking of coins, it was his gold. The Kushan was not an idiot, he knew he lived with a bunch of mercenaries so he had hid his gold for a long time in this river after having placed rocks on it. In the chests, there were only pebbles in case someone came to fly and leave.
He put his money back into the wagon and watched Guts curled up on himself.
Barkha : It's not worth moping like that, Gambino was not a father for you but just a kind of owner. Look at what has been done to you, Guts. What if I hadn't been there tonight? Your life begins now, the world is big and dangerous and i'll show you how to survive with pride and ferocity by relying on yourself. I'll train you guts and when I judge you quite capable, our paths will separate.
The child said nothing and Barkha returned to the front to take control and they left for the east of the Tudor Empire where they were right now.
(two months later)
"18..."
"19 ..."
"20! It's good, you can rest. Barkha told Guts at the top of the hill of a meadow not far from a city. The two had in their hands large but very heavy iron sleeves hammers. He had just swung this hammer from top to bottom 50 times in a row as if it were a sword and the exercise was difficult enough to make Guts sweat while Barkha continued with his Gada whose head was much bigger and heavy than a hammer.
"I don't understand this exercise, why make myself do these movements with a hammer when I fight at the sword ? In addition, the weight is less well balanced than on a sword, it's not practical." Guts complained to Barkha who continued to hit the Gada in the air while holding it at the end of the handle.
Barkha: Guts, if I spent my precious money to make us forge these tools it is not for nothing. War hammers are heavy weapons par excellence so training with it to manipulate other heavy weapons is ideal. In addition, with its very long sleeves, the weight concentrated strongly on the head at the end makes the exercise much more complicated and gives the feeling that the hammer is much heavier than with a normal handle. The day you will be completely used to this exercise, you will have the impression that your sword is light regardless of its size with its weight so well left.
Guts: I'm starting to understand ... It's a good idea. How many times do I have to do that?
"100 repetitions per day. For the moment, you will make five series of 20 repetitions and we will increase the number of rehearsals per series over your progress until the day you can calmly make 100 repetitions in a row and that you will finally do it without sweating, We will increase the weight of the hammer.
He said and Guts looked at him determined before resuming the exercise too. Barkha had planned a perfect program for Guts and training methods that will help him in the future to forge his way in this world that only respects strength or gold.
