Chapter 222: The battle begins

Meanwhile,

Just as the one-sided massacre was currently unfolding at the Zenin estate, a battle of much greater weight and scale was about to begin at the Shibuya station.

There, Lorien and Gojo could be seen standing face to face each of them ready to erupt with unimaginable strength at a moment's notice.

However, before that could happen, Lorien suddenly turned his head toward the direction of the Zenin clan and more precisely Maki.

'Tsk, did it end so quickly?'

'Well, that's to be expected, after all, with all the training she had, it would be weird if there was any resistance.'

'However, it's a pity that she took care of things that quickly, the battle wasn't even that interesting.'

'However, the ending was at least good, so that's good I guess.'

Rubbing his shin, a number of insidious and amusing ideas that could make the situation much more interesting suddenly flashed in Lorien's mind.

However, the moment they appeared, Lorien quickly extinguished them as he didn't have time for that right now.

'Well, there is no need to drag the Zenin massacre any longer!'

'Let's let Maki do whatever she wants, It's her business anyways, not mine.'

'However, it appears that the power I left on her so that I can watch the battle has gone to waste.'

Indeed, as weird as it may sound, it is as Lorien has already stated; When sending Maki to the Zenin clan, he has left some power on her so he could watch the battle even though it is outside his perception range.

Anything to watch an interesting show I guess.

"..."

However, just as Lorien was deep in thought, a voice suddenly sounded, abruptly interrupting his thought process.

"Where are you looking at?" Said Gojo, his voice full of curiousness as he also looked in the same direction that Lorien was looking at, a puzzled look appearing on his face.

"The Zenin clan is dead."

"Dead? And who did it?" Quickly asked Gojo his interest peaking.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

"It's Maki!"

"HUH?!"

"Surprised?"

"...Well, not that much, I somehow expected such an ending for them, personally, I have never liked them as a group, It's just that I had to deal with it."

"Can't say I didn't expect such a response." Said Lorien rolling his eyes at Gojo.

"Never asked you for your prediction."

"Eeeeh, that was a quick switch to trash talking, however, it's indeed about time that we begin our battle!"

Hearing this, Gojo who was looking relaxed suddenly focused his full attention on Lorien causing the atmosphere to instantly tense up.

Seeing this, Lorien smiled as he also decided to get serious so as to give due respect to his opponent.

However, before doing that, he still had one last thing to say.

"Before fighting, let me warn you one last time, without conceptual levels of power or at least attacks that reach that level, you'll always be at a disadvantage."

Saying this, Lorien couldn't help but think about Gojo's end in a certain future when fighting Sukuna.

'Sukuna's last attack against Gojo was basically a semi law-level conceptual attack which is completely above what Gojo could really defend against.'

'It is an attack that targets the world and space itself which might be even effective against me, so I really wonder how the battle between him and Yuta will transpire.'

'However, there shouldn't be that much of an issue as Sukuna doesn't have the ten shadows technique as a help to further improve his power, so It is still unknown if he is able to launch such an attack in this timeline.'

'But, the real question here is how far did Gojo improve his power after getting information from me and coming into contact with the law level in our last battle.'

'This battle might actually be more interesting than I have previously anticipated, it would be amazing if Gojo is able to launch an attack at the law level, it will be helpful even for me!'

'Don't let me down!'

Thinking of this, a rare feeling of excitement coursed through Lorien's body as his fighting intent got ignited.

"COME! LET'S FIGHT!"

*Swish*

Shouting out loud this phrase as a declaration that the battle has commenced, Lorien didn't waste any time rushing toward Gojo who also raised his hands to defend.

"COME! Don't expect things to be as easy as last time!"

*Swish*

*Clash*

*Clash*

*BOOOOM*

In an instant, Lorien and Gojo went through tens of clashes their hands transforming into nothing but afterimages as each of them showcased very high levels of martial arts.

"You've greatly improved! Even your martial arts have reached such a level, it seems that the boost that the six eyes give you is much greater than I had anticipated." Said Lorien while dodging an incoming fist that was directed to his face.

*Swish*

Seeing his attack easily being dodged, Gojo didn't look flustered, instead, a combined feeling of happiness and joy welled up inside his chest.

However, just as Gojo was feeling excited, a sudden blow abruptly landed on his chest phasing right through his defenses as if predicting what all his future defending actions would be.

*Puff*

Spitting a mouth full of blood, Gojo did a backflip using it to dissipate his momentum while also taking advantage of the time to immediately heal his injury using RCT.

'That attack, it wasn't an illusion!'

Looking at Lorien's golden eyes which shone with a mysterious yet brilliant light, a heavy look appeared on Gojo's face as he understood something.

'It seems that I am not the only one with special eyes.'

'It's interesting that we have a lot in common, from as simple as hair color, to personality and even ocular prowess.'

Shaking his head, Gojo knew that it wasn't time to think about any of this as he quickly rushed back toward Lorien his fists getting covered with a purplish hue.

[Minimal Release: Purple]

"Let's begin the second round!"
