Despite the odds stacked against me, I've crafted a plan to escape this perilous situation. It's a daring move, with only a few chances before my body succumbs to exhaustion. But I'm not one to bow to defeat. This may seem like an impossible task, but I'm not one to shy away. I'll give it my all, even if it means staring death in the face!
The sound of the drops and the apparent activation of an oni's power is quite accelerating, to say the least. "Oni's fury! Superstacked! Super strenght!" As soon as those words leave my mouth, the town's 'monolith' of lits up and lends me its unique power known as 'Oni's fury.'
The left eye of a beast appears on my back, and at the same time, my opponents quickly approach me to try and stop the full activation of my ultimate battle technique. "Don't let him use that thing! STOP HIM!" Dante screams at the top of his lungs as he lunges forward with a sword in hand.
{ 自来也のテーマ - 六三四プロジェクト }
Yet the activation started ever since the left eye of the monolith's blessing appeared on my back! There was nothing they could do to stop me now, so without delay. I blocked Dante's attack, followed by the next and the next block, and then another block after the block. It can't be stopped!
Dante soon retreats and gives me some breathing room, which finally lets me recover a proper fighting stance. "YOOOOOOO!" Following the latest partner of attacks, the face's right eye manifests behind me since the block moves I performed are considered attacks of some kind!
This blessing from the town's monolith is reserved for physical combat only, and it's meant to be used only by high-ranking officials in the city. Still, since I've got nothing else, I figured I should tap into that power one way or another! It all happened years ago when I was still in school.
I felt a strong call from that thing in the middle of town, just shining and radiating power all over the place, but for some reason, I would always be the only one who could naturally sense this power. Nobody else was able to sense it but me, so it was only a matter of time until I figured out how to use its blessing.
The way I think these powers work is through what we call 'stacks,' which amount to moves or attacks that gain you these so-called stacks like a progressive attack that gets stronger and stronger the more you fight type of deal, you could say.
The first stack is gained simply by tapping into the monolith's power, and the rest are gained through battle, slowly forming the face mask of an enraged only behind you! The more stacks you earn, the stronger you get, but that's not the best part. The best comes once the entire mask is present.
In order to make a full mask, you must earn enough stacks to summon its two eyes, the chin, and the forehead, followed by its whiskers, and finally, finishing with the horns! So, six stacks total form an enraged Oni's mask, which, to put it bluntly, will completely wreck whoever is on the receiving end once you consume the stacks.

Not only does each stack make you progressively stronger, so the later stacks are more accessible and easier to gain, but once you have collected all six, you can choose to quickly burn away all those stacks against whoever your opponent is.
In other words, once you reach six stacks, whoever your opponent is will perish for good! The main drawback to this power is the immense strain it places on the user's body, which can leave the fighter unable to move for entire days if misused or in a badly hurt state like my dumbass!
I already know that these wounds will hurt ten times worse since I've activated this power even when I shouldn't, but I mean, I don't want to die without a fight, do I? So therefore, it was time to put an end to this madness and punch some sense back into these dummies who thought they could beat me!
"Shit! This guy always goes back to that cheating skill! Damn it! We can't win now, can we?" Says Karl, frantically trying to stand down as if he is about to surrender. Honestly, I much rather prefer if Dante did the same and also stood down and surrendered since I doubt either of us wants to end up in bed for days, right?
"First Slash! Second Slash! Third Slash! FOUR STAR SLASH BLADE CUTTER!" Dante doesn't seem to want to surrender anytime soon as he simply relaunches his signature attack against mine. Yet this time, it was different; since I already had two stacks, I could see his movements with much more ease, as if time had slowed down just enough to be a tad more reactive to a non-enhanced person like myself.
Dante's first slash didn't even come close to my body as he was still a distance away, and while his second was a bit close, it also missed, leaving only two of his slashes close enough to my body. Yet it was to no avail, as I simply had to jump backward to avoid those two as well.
"A cheating skill? I would say it's more like my only skill! I haven't got fancy magic spells like you two, but I do have these hands." As soon as I finish my little speech, I notice how a lot of people watch me in awe as well as concern for me since I'm still bleeding a lot, you know.
"Tsk! Damn you! Fire wielding! Fire breath! FIRE TORNADO!" Dante seems to have lost his mind with anger against me since he indiscriminately launched an attack that would clearly damage third-party property, something I always tried to avoid when fighting.
"Hey! That's going to be on you! I've got nothing to do with this anymore!" Finally! Karl finally steps away from the fight, leaving his boyfriend behind, clearly not wanting to go to jail once the town gets damaged. Honestly, the fight is already over, so I might as well stop using the monolith power.
It's going to be a pretty anticlimactic ending to the fight. Rule number one when fighting in public! Never break or damage multiple people's property over a minor dispute because this will end up happening to you! {Angry mob of merchants}
"EH?! EHHHHHH!!!!!!!? OH FUCK OH FUCK!" Dante panics as a massive horde of angry people starts to rally up to kick his ass for breaking their windows and ruining some merchandise as well with such a firey violent tornado! I mean, come on, how stupid must you be to forget that the town's merchants are ruthless? Dumb dante!
"YOU BRAT! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" " YOU MOTHER IS GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IT!" "GET HIM!" "HE IS RUNNING! CATCH HIM!" {More angry mob noises} Oh well, what can you do? If anything, he did that to himself. I only instigated a little!
