Chapter 135: The Path of Muga and Muso
The dojo was silent, the air heavy with anticipation.
The morning sun streamed through the wooden windows, casting long shadows over the polished floorboards.
Standing in the center of the room, three identical figures held wooden bokken at the ready.
Three Neros.
The original stood at the forefront, his grip firm, his stance balanced.
The two clones mirrored him perfectly, their gazes unwavering as they faced the two men before them, Zen and Mu, the only warriors who had ever walked the razor-thin path between Void and Cosmos and survived.
Nero took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, lowering his head slightly in respect.
"Mu-sensei, Zen-sensei, thank you for instructing me in Magic Martial Integration.
Back then, I refused to learn the sword, believing my time was better spent finding a way to solve my issue with the Void Principle, hence immersing myself into Eastern culture and books.
I wanted to try to find a way to walk a slightly different way from you."
He lifted his gaze, eyes sharp with conviction.
