Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 8 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 12===
 
While Akatsuki was in the middle of being swung about, after being seized with freedom binding chain, Kaidou Motoharu couldn't help think.
 
There was quite a beautiful sound, as if the forest was performing a symphony.
 
He also thought without a good instrument it was hard to stimulate his poetic inspiration.
 
"We almost reached the crescendo. Let's properly enjoy it--"
 
Feeling like a maestro, Kaidou was making the chain constantly dance as if waving a baton on stage.
 
With Akatsuki firmly secured at the other end of the chain he increased the tempo to that of an allegro.
 
The feeling of many types of trees being mowed down and rocks broken into pieces was incessantly returned to his hand,
 
...... This is the conclusion.
 
From what he felt on the end of the chain Kaidou determined it was the right time to end it all. Akatsuki should be in a rag-like state at this point. And if he continued his performance there wouldn't be anything left of the forest.
 
After all, it wasn't good to encourage the destruction of nature.
 
So......
 
"Let's finish this with a drop on the freefall."
 
He took a breath,
 
"Oh but -- there are no brakes."
 
So Kaidou raised his right hand over his head -- but, he felt an inexplicable abnormality through the chain.
 
The chain wrapped around Akatsuki's body was stretched open from the inside.
 
It was like Akatsuki's body had instantly swelled two times its size.
 
And the next moment,
 
"-- Oh?"
 
The weight that he felt from the front of the chain had suddenly disappear. That sense of weight conveyed Akatsuki's presence.
 
...... Oi, this can't be happening.
 
The concept around Kaidou's ability freedom binding chain was once that it binds something without a leaving gap it strips it of all freedom.
 
Therefore, a situation where it could be expanded and opened from the inside could never occur. If that were ever to happen that would mean their was a gap to get out. And for that, the person inside must have a considerably greater difference in power than Kaidou, otherwise escape was impossible.
 
"No way --"
 
Heart full of doubt Kaido blurted out the words when,
 
 
 
"-- You don't look very happy."
 
 
 
The voice going behind him -- and Akatsuki was almost simultaneous.
 
"-!"
 
Before Kaidou could even turn around there was an upward impact to his body.
 
"Gaa, wa......!"
 
As the sound itself came out he was under attack from the front.
 
While Kaidou was flying through the air, inside he was contemplating that improbable occurrence.
 
In theory, it wasn't entirely inexplicable. That was the moment before he went around Kaidou's back he had spoke to him from somewhere in the forest, then in the time when he started turning around he was hit in the air, and before he could speak Akatsuki ran around him to the front to attack.
 
And, it didn't end with that. Invisible impulsion hit Kaidou from every direction.
 
The notion of defense and or avoidance against speed and power of the extent had become meaninglessness. During the time it took him to breath in and out, he was unable to count the number of attacks he suffered. The heavy damage he gave Akatsuki while swing him around in the forest -- was supposed to have had him winning. But now after a series of counterattacks, Kaidou was gradually losing that superiority.
 
"Ku-!"
 
Even though he couldn't see Akatsuki with his eyes, Kaidou still subconsciously moved the chain to protect himself.
 
He surrounded himself with a barrier to ward off all the attacks. After successive hits from Akatsuki the pure white barrier was turning ash-colored. The impacts were piling up from all sides.
 
"Seriously......"
 
Kaidou almost could not believe his eyes. The impacts were like a heavy rain that momentary obscures the view.
 
At least with this, he could temporarily catch his breath -- however, that was only wishful thinking on his part.
 
"-- Its not over yet."
 
The voice came from directly above. And then,
 
"-! OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
 
The barrier around Kaidou had shattered, and he was abruptly knocked to the ground.
 
The sound of a large crater blooming echoed in the forest.
 
Nevertheless......
 
"...... Geez, give me a break."
 
Kaidou had narrowly escaped receiving any damage from the fall somehow. As he stared ahead he discovered a space distorting similar to hot air rising with a shimmering effect. And after a few seconds -- Akatsuki revealed himself.
 
"---------"
 
The expression in his eyes were hollow as if he was watching something from another world, Kaidou then,
 
"I see, so that was the trick......"
 
Kaidou suddenly came to an understanding. It was not surprising why there such a radical change in his movements.
 
Kaido Motoharu thought to reach that state, even among "Crimson Twilight" there were only an extremely select people who could, Akatsuki -- really couldn't be made light of.
 
So he exposed a helpless smile,
 
"I'll tell you this much...... you really have stepped into our domain."
