"Take this, old man!!!!!"

As Benimaru shouted, he ignites several matoi and launched them at Hibachi. Seeing this, the man smirked as he already knew how to counter this. As soon as he took a stance, Benimaru had already assumed the same position as they both had the same idea.

"Iai Chop, Form Four:Red Sun!!!!!!"

Benimaru and Hibachi ignite and create a sharp-blade of flames on both palms of their hands, and releases a very powerful beam of flames towards each other. As the two attacks clashed, a large sphere of flames could be seen.

While this happened, Benimaru charged towards Hibachi. As Hibachi tried to kick him, Benimari stepped to the side as he ignites his hand in flames as he strikes Hibachi in his side. As Hibachi was sent flying, Benimaru saw this as a chance to strike.

"Iai Chop, Form One:Red Moon!!"

With his grimoire opened, Benimaru ignites and creates a sharp-blade of flames on the palm of his hand, and swings it in the direction of Hibachi, creating a crescent-shaped flame that blows the enemy backwards, while dealing heavy damage.

"I'm not done! Iai Chop,Third Form:Daybreak!!!!"

"Iai Chop, Fifth Form:Sunset!!!!"

As the two foes ignite and create a sharp-blade of flames on the palm of their hand, Benimaru performed a powerful upward slash on Hibachi while the historia performed a powerful downward slash on Benimaru at the same time. When the two attacks collided, a large pillar of fire was seen.

As Benimaru could be seen crashing into the ground, Hibachi was seen flying into the air due to the force of the attack. Benimaru quickly got on one of his matoi, ignites the end of it, and launched himself towards Hibachi.

As Hibachi was in the air, he saw Benimaru charging towards him. As Benimaru boosts the firepower of the flame on his matoi to accelerate his speed, Hibachi grabbed the other end of the matoi to prevent it from hitting his chest. Though, since he used both hands to catch it, it gave Benimaru a chance to strike.

"Iai Chop, Form Seven:Sun Wheel!!!!!"

With his grimoire opened, Benimaru created a ring of fire behind him, resembling the sun, and threw it directly at Hibachi. The historia grunts in pain as it felt the sheer heat of the flames, but a smile soon appeared on its face.

"Allow me to show you what a REAL Sun Wheel is like, ya little shit!"

Soon Hibachi created his own Sun Wheel but on a much larger scale. As he threw the ring of fire at Benimaru, he saw the young man hold out a hand as he was manipulating the flames into stopping. Seeing this, Hibachi used this chance to attack Benimaru.

"Iai Chop, Form Two:Moonlight!!!!!!"

While Bemimaru was distracted, Hibachi crossed his arms as he fires off an X-shaped blast of flames as it radiates a blinding light. As Benimaru struggled to keep his eyes open, Hibachi charged forward and punched him in the gut, sending the young man flying.

"Hehehe!!!! You haven't changed, have ya!!!!"

"............"

Benimaru didn't say a single word. As he pulls down the left sleeve of his haori, he looked at Hibachi. As the historia was confused about what he was doing, he soon saw Beninaru bowing his head.

"When you passed, I barely made it as a leader without Konro's help! But after Konro passed and after a certain ice mage helped me, i've become a true leader and a proud protector of Sun Village!!!!! I know I was a burden on you, but today, i'm here to fight!!! Please watch over me!!! I won't bring shame to the Shinmon name!!!!!"

"I see......so you're ready to kill me now?"

"It's been a pleasure, you old son of a bitch."

As Benimaru said this, he ignites his hand as he launched several flames at Hibachi. Seeing this, the historia quickly dashed side to side to avoid the attack. When he did so, Benimaru ignites the end of his numerous matoi as he launched them all at Hibachi. While Hibachi was getting hit by the matoi, he saw Benimaru in front of him.

"Iai Chop, Form Seven:Sun Wheel."

Benimaru created a large ring of fire behind him, resembling the sun. However, this time, the ring of fire was bigger and burned more intensely. As Benimaru was in front of Hibachi, the brightness of his Sun Wheel was blinding the historia as he puts a hand on his chest.

"You would try to do something like this. Conquering the sun and the moon, huh."

"Yeah. This attack is a tribute to you and Konro. Flame Magic:Crimson Moon's Sun Wheel."

With his grimoire opened, Benimaru threw the Sun Wheel behind him at Hibachi in point-blank range. Immediately after throwing the Sun Wheel at the historia, Benimaru fired an enormous fire ball at Hibachi's chest as the flames were growing and burning hotter due to using the Sun Wheel as fuel for the attack. As the historia's body was completely burning away, a smile was on his face as he said one thing while a giant crimson moon made of flames was in the sky.

"It looks like you have changed. Nice work.....Benimaru."

As soon as he said this, Hibachi's body was completely gone. Soon Benimaru's attention shifted to Neinhart, who was on the ground and beyond exhausted. Since his historia had so much magic power, it took every drop of mana to keep him manifested. Soon Benimaru walked towards Neinhart.

"You know, despite getting to see him off properly, i'm still pissed at how you wanted to use memories of the dead against me. I'm going to make sure it never happens again."

"No! Wait, wait, wait, wait!!!!! You wouldn't kill me right?! After all, my blood would be on your hands. Do you know how evil that is? Can you live with that on your mind?"

"You really are full of shit. In a war, good doesn't exist. Because in the eyes of the attacker and the defender of a land....both sides are evil."

Neinhart soon got up and started running. He needs to get out of here before he gets killed. However, Benimaru quickly got in front of him. As he did, Neinhart tried to beg for his life once more.

"Please sp-"

"Flame Magic:Crimson Moon."

With his grimoire opened, Benimaru drove his hand into Neinhart's chest. Using an incredible amount of firepower, Benimaru fires a huge fireball at Neinhart, creating a giant explosion which resembles a crimson moon.

"I thought he'd never shut up. Though that fight did take a lot of magic power."

"So this is where you were, scum."

As Benimaru turned around, he saw Xanxus approaching him. When he asked the man what he was doing here, Xanxus explained the situation.

"Kurono said he'd stay behind in order to keep the "weaklings" safe. That's why I came here to provide you back up."

"I see, then let's storm the ca-"

Before Benimaru could finish his sentence, he felt an enormous amount of mana heading for him and Xanxus. As they jumped out of the way, they saw a creature in a veil of flames. When Benimaru looked at the creature, he said one thing.

"It looks like we've got a real monster on our hands."
