Chapter 1879 Sei -Part 8

"Will that be a sufficient enough reason to let Sei and Ryuu be united?" All of the conversations previously had been in open communication and Sei had heard the entire thing.

"If I am able to reunite with my brother, I will make sure that he will do the minimum to come to help you if there is this supposed 'calamity' or 'calamities'. I would once again-"

"No, don't need to swear under your clan's honour. Get your brother to agree first before doing this swear thing. Don't force unto him a decision that he is not aware of." Jin said and Sei kept quiet for a moment.

"Now that I have settled my curiosity, let us continue with our fight," Sei said and Jin was confused.

"Wait, what? I thought you said that everything had been settled?" Jin stood up, a little frustrated with Sei. "What do you want now? Why are you going to fight me once more? Did we not come to a compromise already?"

"You need to defeat me to get Ryuli signed into the contract, am I wrong?" Sei said and Jin shook his head.

"As long as she signed it, everything would be fine," Jin exclaimed.

"She is talking me through her subconsciousness. She said no. She added 'If you want me to be your employee, you have to take me down. Isn't this a dungeon instance? By right, I should not die If I am killed right?' and had asked me to use her powers as well, not just my water chi ones."

"What does that exactly mean?" Jin asked and suddenly Sei was not merely holding a water based chi sphere in her hands. There was Fire, Thunder, Ground, Water, Metal.

"What the fuck…" He made sure that his helmet was securely tightly and took a battle stance. "Now it made me feel as if I wasted all this effort trying to talk to her." This was not the same Ryuli that Jin knew. Like the System Rider, Sei is currently in possession of Ryuli and the fact that the Dragon Clan Agent was able to communicate with her means she had accepted Sei as her companion as well.

With the elemental spheres rotating around her hand, Sei managed to cut away all the strings that Zither Mistress Ke Mi had used and she was healed from her chi regeneration as well. This was honestly one of the worst round two fights he could ever want to do.

But as Sei had recovered most of her health, her chi had been partially depleted from the previous fight while Jin had the benefit of Ke Mi actually healing him during the fight. In short, what the Zither Mistress did was not just protect Jin, she was preparing her technique to fight against Sei while playing a tune that enabled Jin to recover his chi promptly as well.

So, in terms of the second match, Jin was better rested as compared to Sei. Still, that did not mean Jin might be able to win the fight especially when Sei had access to Ryuli's repertoire of skills as well as the ability to use Maqi as well.

This would not be one element vs. multiple elements as per the previous duel but rather a battle of wits to see who can outsmart each other. This was the real test of his abilities and he had to go above and beyond his current (already powerful) limits.

"I let you have the first move. Since I am the one who proposed this fight." Sei said as she bowed and courteously allowed Jin to do what was needed.

"Get Byakkou. Although he might be useful in the end process, we do not know how much stronger can Sei get now that Ryuli has given her permission to use her Maqi powers. After all, Sei is still half a cardinal being with high water affinity. No matter what other elements she could wield, the fact that she is not with Ryuu makes her vulnerable to water element more than the other elements."

"You mean Ryuu have other elements?" Jin asked and Suzaku told Jin to focus on the fight. "Alright. Alright." Jin took out his card and changed it to Byakkou instead. The roaring of the white tiger made Sei know that Jin was going for her weakness. He is not entirely wrong that Byakkou would be the natural enemy for Sei but Jin has to try harder than usual if he thinks that using Byakkou is the end solution to this fight.

"Yo Sei. Nice to meet you. Been a long time since we clash blades together." Byakkou waved.

"Who wants to fight with you on a daily basis? Associating with you would definitely make my clan disappointed."

"Ahhh little girl always thinks about the clan. Don't you want Sei as your partner? Well, maybe concubine?"

"What kind of audacity are you talking about?!"

"Hey, it is not his fault that Ming put every one of us in there. It's not his fault that he put you with that girl. It's definitely not his fault that you are throwing a tantrum and he had to calm you down. In fact, you should be grateful that he even suggested duelling with your brother so that your brother will think properly and then give him to the girl you are possessing right now. Geez. If your clan is so great, then why such bad manners at an innocent man?" Even though Byakkou did not attack her yet, his words were piercing and she received emotional damage just from that.

"Apologise to him when this is all over. And make sure you honour your word that you aid Jin when he really does need your help."

"Yes… Brother Byakkou. I understand" Sei bowed a little to Byakkou and she took her stance. (The word brother here is not kin, but of respect.)

"Good. Now we shall duel. May the most resourceful fighter win." Byakkou said and Sei nodded her head. At that moment, he already used Lightning Flash step to move close to her and slammed Sei with his enhanced claws courtesy of Bam and Boo.
