Satoshi lunged at Kanashi, thrusting his Katana [Tsubashinai] forwards like a rapier he aimed between Kanashis eyes.
“!” Kanashi ducked backwards just in time for the blade to narrowly glide over his nose and split the air above. As Kanashi leaned backward he Rotated his hips, slamming his palm into Satoshis side. [HellStorm!]
Satoshi erupted into a ball of fire and Kanashi followed with [Sonic Boom] throwing Satoshi a safe distance away.
As Satoshi flipped through the air he doused himself in conjured water, extinguishing the flames surrounding his body. He landed on his feet with a skid. His spiky hair was now flat and dripping water down to the floor below him as the burns across his face and arms quickly healed.
“Ha-ha-ha…” Kanashi wheezed. He’s fast, if I didn’t use Observation before coming down here I’d be dead. Not only that but he’s healing himself super quickly. I need to hurt him to the point he can't recover before I restrain him… Making the first move Kanashi slammed his foot down onto the floor casting [Bog].
"!" Sensing the incoming attack Satoshi sprung into the air and threw Tsubashinai at Kanashi. The chain which connected Satoshis wrist to the hilt of Tsubashinai cast a shadow as it traveled.
“Tch.” Kanashi spat conjuring [Itachi] and swinging it at Tsubashinai.
[Kagepo] Satoshi used the shadow cast by the chain as a bridge and teleported to the hilt of Tsubashinai. Clutching the Katanas hilt he swung it down onto Itachi.
"CRACKLE!"
The two Katanas clashed mid air shooting bolts of mana throughout the atmosphere.
[Kyoyu Style: Yuuka!] Kanashi cried imbuing Itachi with mana.
“!” Satoshi taken by surprise failed to dodge the emission which smashed into him full force. He bounced off the roof with a crash and then slammed on to the floor with a roll. That wasn't a normal emission! It came from the sword itself instead of the sword being used as a medium! It must be a cursed sword like my [Tsubashinai] then. Satoshi dropped Tsubashinai to the floor and it sank into the shadows.
"!" Seeing Tsubashinai fall into the floor Kanashis eyes widened. He dropped his katana into the floor? No, he must have dropped it into the [Shadow] itself. That’s the only way to explain him teleporting above me like he did too. I know Jin mentioned using Mediums like the witches mushroom to keep Liminal Realms table but a [Shadow]? It must be something he can create and manipulate with [Elementalist] magic. But that would also mean he has enough aura to keep his Liminal Realm constantly open! Kanashi clutched Itachi and his face warped with anxiety.
Satoshi kicked off the ground towards Kanashi and cocked his arm back. He threw a a punch aimed at Kanashi who in a blind panic swung Itachi forwards.
"Heh." Satoshi snickered suddenly falling backwards. Slamming his left hand to the floor and using it as anchor point to hold his weight Satoshi swept Kanashis legs out from under him.
"Gah!" Gasped Kanashi falling backwards.
Satoshi jumped to his feet and raised his leg up high intending to crush Kanashis chest with an axe kick.
Kanashi sensing the incoming attack slammed his fist onto the floor activating [Mudd]. From the floor grew Golems made of mud and shaped like salamanders. The Salamanders tackled Satoshi who instantly reinforced himself in response.
Satoshi who had expected the Golems power to be equal to those he'd fought in the past was surprised by their weak output. They're so... weak? He wondered destroying the lot of them with a kick.
As if it to answer his confusion the golems upon being destroyed erupted into blankets of mud which wrapped themselves around Satoshis body holding him firmly.
[Paralysis!]
“!” Electricity ran through Satoshis body making his muscles constrict and his jaw clench. However there was a clear problem. Satoshi like Kanashi was an innate [Elementalist] but he differed in what elements he had a natural affinity towards. While Kanashi was skilled at [Earth] and [Water] Satoshi had [Fire] and [Electricity]. The latter of which happened to be Kanashi's weakest element.
[Kagepo!]
Satoshi easily broke free from the [Paralysis] and teleported right in front of Kanashi. Satoshi threw a punch aimed at Kanashis jaw but Kanashi managed to block it with his left forearm. Kanashi then threw his own punch aiming for the temple of Satoshis head.
“!” Satoshi ducked under Kanashi's arm and used the punches force to roll himself close enough to grab Kanashi by the shoulder and collar. Kanashi instantly recognized the maneuver as [Osoto-Gari] and put the counter technique into action like he’d been taught to by Jin.
As Satoshi tried to sweep Kanashi's leg out from under him Kanashi took a step back and planted his foot firmly on the ground. Using his free leg he swept Satoshis grounded leg out from under him.
Satoshi who was dazed from the Electrical Shock and Venom was too late to realize what had happened. He was suddenly in the air and being slammed downwards onto his back. At the last possible moment Satoshi threw his feet down, planting them onto the ground first and stopping himself from being slammed onto his back.
Satoshi grabbed Kanashi's wrists and twisted his own torso, breaking free from Kanashis grasp. He then spun around with a roundhouse kick aimed for Kanashi's torso but Kanashi just barely managed to block it in time by throwing his arms up.
The force from the impact was still strong enough to push Kanashi back into the wooden wall behind him with a crash which made him wheeze in pain.
From the shadows [Tsubashinai] shot up into Satoshis hand and he jumped forwards swinging it down onto Kanashis shoulder. Kanashi just barley managed to conjure a wall of stone which Tsubashinai easily cleaved in half like a hot knife through butter.
Kanashi taking the chance rolled to the side and out of Satoshis range. Breathing heavily he created a finger gun with both his index and middle finger as the barrel. [Mana Pistol: Double Barrel!] From his hand Kanashi shot a blast of mana at Satoshi who attempted to try and slice it in half.
“What!?” Satoshi gasped feeling himself being pushed back by the emission, something he normally would have cut in half with little to no problem. He was overwhelmed and sent flying backwards through the wall behind him and into a massive storage room. The storage room was overflowing with Dried Foods and produce which Satoshi was flung into making it all collapse on top of him.
Shit I've got to get out of here! Kanashi though in a panic looking for somewhere to escape. I can’t beat that guy like this, he’s way stronger and faster than me! The only way I can win is by getting the high ground and throwing spells down at him from above but- "!" Kanashi seeing his own shadow under him whipped around to the storage room. [HellStorm!] Kanashi shot a ball of fire into the room which erupted into flames instantly and the shadows which had spread around the basement were quickly erased. Now he can’t sneak up on me again…
“!”
Right as Kanashi thought he was safe a sudden burst of palpable rage and blood lust filled the room aimed at him.
Like a flash of black Satoshi shot out from the roaring flames, he threw a fully enhanced punch into Kanashis chest which Kanashi failed to block in time.
Kanashi was thrown backwards vomiting blood as he smashed through the roof into a guest room on the floor above them. He slammed the into bedroom's roof and bounced off it to the floor with a thud.
“Agh!” Kanashi cried, tasting rich iron in his mouth, his entire body was trembling and his chest ached like nothing he’d ever felt before.
Satoshi, who was covered in large burns, jumped through the hole Kanashi had created in the basement's roof. He held Tsubashinai above his head intending to bring it down upon and kill Kanashi immediately but upon entering the room he saw it empty with the front door wide open.
# # #
“Shit, shit, shit!” Kanashi cried, sprinting down the ship's hallway at full speed. He ran as fast as he possibly could with full enhancement pumping his legs. Dammit I need to find Jason and Rebecca! I can’t do this on my own no way! He’s clearly holding back some, that last attack came at me as fast as Hayai. If he gets serious I’m dead. What if he has an instant kill Liminal Realm that he just hasn't used yet? At the very least I need to get the [White Water: Space Cutter] ring from my room.
Right as Kanashi reached the corner of the hallway he heard the unmistakable sound of flesh tearing and liquid splashing. Though he had no clue where he’d heard that sound before he knew that’s what it was.
“OH MY GOD HELP!”
“AGH, MY LEG! MY LEG!”
“PLEASE SPARE US PLEASE-”
Kanashi came to a dead stop, his eyes narrowed and jaw clenched. He turned around and saw Satoshi ripping through a crowd of people and coming towards him.
“STOP!” Kanashi screamed out casting [Mudd] and sending his golems to restrict Satoshi.
“Make me!” Satoshi laughed while continuing to slice through the crowd towards Kanashi.
The toad golems shot out their tongues to restrict Satoshi but he already knew their tricks. Satoshi activated his spell [Hitsurigui] , imbuing his katana with [Fire]. As he sliced the golems their body baked into a solid form stopping them from being able to expand and splash him again.
Kanashi flicked his wrist to conjure Itachi and swung the blade through the air. [Kyoyu Style: Yuuka!] A blast of mana flew from Itachi's blade straight towards Satoshi.
Satoshi attempted to defend against the slash but it managed to slip through his guard, slicing his shoulder open and spraying blood across the hallway.
“!” As if on cue Satoshi hunched forwards and violently vomited a whole puddle of blood which made his shoulder spray even more vigorously.
Shit, I’m reaching my limit here soon. Satoshi thought looking down at his trembling hand. He felt like his entire body was on fire and his eyes blurred to the point of everything appearing as if it was behind a mosaic filter. But not yet, I still need to kill him… Satoshi took in a big breath of air which he then pushed out with a loud “Phew.”, “Now then how about round 2?”
Kanashi planted his feet firmly on the ground and put his hands up to protect his face and chest. Satoshi followed suit putting his own fighting stance on display. The pair looked at each other for a few seconds making direct eye contact. Both of them poured sweat down into a puddle on the floor below.
“FWOOSH!”
At the exact same time they both moved forwards, Kanashi threw a right hook which Satoshi deflected with his left forearm while aiming a chop for Kanashis left side.
Kanashi quickly threw his leg up blocking the chop but also lost his balance making him fall backwards.
Satoshi without hesitation tried to stomp down on Kanashi but Kanashi rolled backwards and flipped to his feet. Satoshi stomped forwards to hurl a punch which Kanashi tried to block by throwing up his arms to cover his face and chest.
However Satoshi wasn't throwing a punch but an open hand strike! Satoshi pulled back his fist and thrust forward his opposite hand which had been an open palm.

Satoshis palm slammed into Kanashis stomach making him vomit more blood with a loud heave. Not giving Kanashi a break Satoshi spun around with a roundhouse kick to Kanashis liver, smashing him into the hallways wall.
Kanashis eyes blurred and his head pounded. He couldn’t breathe either, that open palm to his stomach must have had [Energy Manipulation] imbued to spread the damage through out his entire body and not just the place Satoshi had directly hit.
When it was over, Kanashi only saw the word “Death” in his head. He’d already escaped it once so asking to avoid it a second time was just selfish. He could have lived a normal life and taken his 2nd chance as an honest man who died of old age.
It’s too late for thoughts like that, would have, could have, should have. No, I can’t give up just yet, I have to throw at least one more punch.
With his resolve established Kanashi threw a punch at Satoshi, it was a perfectly normal punch by all means no different than any other he’d thrown in his life.
The punch wasn’t what was special, no, it was what it triggered. Something a fraction of the world's population ever had the potential of triggering. An astronomically rare occurrence. Kanashis punch was infused with a sudden flow of mana and slammed into Satoshis chest with a loud crackle. Red and black bolts of mana stretched into the air around them as the punch landed.
This occurrence was so rare it was said to have been chosen to occur by God himself earning it the name...
[Deus Ex Machina!]
Yes this was a special punch, one that was infused with a highly condensed flash of mana making it a multiplier of roughly 25x its base power.
Satoshi was instantly thrown backwards with an ear piercing sound. He smashed through multiple walls of different composition, which sliced and bruised his skin until finally he came to a stop halfways across the ship and embedded into a metal wall.
“!?” Satoshi fell down to his hands and knees coughing up blood. That punch had crushed his organs which were slowly healing, splitting the focus from the venom.
Satoshi didn’t know of [Deus Ex Machina] nor did Kanashi. In Satoshis mind this only proved that kanashi was truly death defying.
“HAHAHA, YOU REALLY ARE UNKILLABLE KANAKO!” He hollered as blood sprayed from his mouth.
# # #
“I’m alive?” Kanashi wondered as leaned forward. He felt as though he'd been healed somewhat. No, he was actually healing right now. The cuts covering his arms were already closing shut and becoming scars.
He had no idea what had just happened, the best way to describe it is like when you're just about to fall asleep and you suddenly feel like you're falling and jolt awake. That’s what he had just experienced.
“But I can keep fighting now.” He said with a smile, looking down at his closed fist which was covered in many fresh scars. He’d always wished for cool manly hands and now that he had them he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
Just then he heard a howl from across the ship where his punch had thrown Satoshi “YOU REALLY ARE UNKILLABLE KANAKO!”
“Who the hell is Kanako!?” Kanashi muttered looking towards the hole in the wall. Somehow he felt much stronger than he had just a few moments earlier. Actually even more than when he was at 100% health that morning. It’s was like he had leveled up and his stats increased many times over. Despite this power up he was still pretty hurt and knew the healing could only do so much for him.
He was probably at 40% health right now. But his damage output was increased many times from whatever had just happened.
Jin did say that the best way to learn magic was through using it so maybe this is what that actually meant. Thought Kanashi. With his will to continue freshly burned into Kanashi's soul he ran in the direction Satoshi had been thrown. He was going to end this right here and right now. He didn't want to kill Satoshi but if that’s what it came to then… so be it.
Kanashi and Satoshi met halfway through their path, Kanashi instantly conjured Itachi and stared at Satoshi intently with narrowed eyes as his heart raced. Satoshi looked very weak as if he was ready to fall over any minute now. He was ghost white and trembling yet his eyes still burned full of hatred and blood lust.
“Do you know why I want to kill you, Kanako?” Satoshi asked.
“No I don't.”
“Because you disgust me, your aura is something I can only describe as… Death defying. It’s like I’m looking at a walking corpse or vengeful spirit. I thought it was just my imagination but after what just happened I was proven right. You truly are a being that cannot be killed and that’s exactly why I want to kill you. To prove I can kill the unkillable Kanako.”
“Well I’m sorta starting to believe the Unkiillable part myself but I really don't feel like testing that theory out and my name isn't Kanako.”
Satoshi cocked head back and raised an eyebrow, “Then what is it?”
“Kanashi.”
“!” Ah! Instead of 子 being read as こ [Ko] it’s read as し [Shi]. That’s an uncommon spelling so the machine read it as Kanako instead since that was already in its database. “I see then, Kanashi. Well my name is Satoshi. Kageki Satoshi, your name's spelling confused me at first but now that I understand it I must say it’s a fitting name. After all, you’ll have a 悲死 [Kanashi = Tragic Death.]”
“Tch, you're lucky I get that joke.” Kanashi said with a strained smile.
“!”
Sensing something coming at him from behind Kanashi jumped out of the way right as [Tsubashinai] flew towards him. The blade just barely grazed his arm as it flew into Satoshi Hands.
From the shadows behind me!?
Satoshi flicked Tsubashinai downwards, knocking the blood off its blade.
At the same time the ship's floor and walls began to crumble, a raging fire encasing them.
“...”
“...”
Both men moved at the same time. Satoshi and Kanashis Katanas clashed, shooting bolts of crackling mana into the air around them.. Kanashi kicked Satoshi backwards breaking their stand still and swung Itachi at Satoshis hand hoping to disarm him.
Satoshi dropped Tsubashinai into the shadows beneath him and ducked down to avoid the slash. Satoshi then sprung up from the ground performing an uppercut perfectly into Kanashis chin. Itachi slipped out of Kanashis hand as he wobbled backward, but he wasn’t ready to give in. Kanashi threw his hands out and grabbed Satoshis hair clutching it in his hands tightly. He pulled Satoshis head towards him and lifted his knee smashing the two together.
Blood splashed from Satoshis face and Kanashi felt his knee ring out in pain but he kept going. Once, twice now three times he smashed his knee into the center of Satoshis face. Satoshi grunted and his hands spasmed as each attack hit him with a disgusting sound.
"Ha-ha-ha." Now out of breath Kanashi threw Satoshi forwards and stumbled back to regain his composure. His knee throbbed violently like someone had smashed it in with a metal baseball bat. Satoshi probably used Reinforcement to protect himself but in his weakened state Kanashi was able to overpower it enough to deal some real damage.
"Gah!" Satoshi coughed up blood and a tooth as he gasped for air looking down at his hands which trembled. I’m losing?
Satoshi barley managed to stand up, feeling his knees trembling beneath him ready to collapse at any minute. He clenched his jaw and his entire body popped with veins.
“BUT I’M STRONGER!” He roared, kicking Kanashi in the side. Though he was too exhausted to use proper enhancement his pure physical strength was more than enough to send Kanashi smashing through the wall to their right and into the adjacent room.
Kanashi was sliced open by a variety of material as he bounced around the room he had been thrown into. The boost from [Deus Ex Machina] slowly drifted away causing him to heal at a much slower rate.
Satoshi ripped into the room with a punch aiming for Kanashis head. Kanashi just barely ducked down in time but as if expecting this Satoshi threw his own knee up which smashed Kanashis nose in.
“Ha!” Satoshi laughed.
Kanashi took the force of the attack and rolled backwards, he quickly jumped to his feet and guarded his face with his hands right as Satoshi charged forwards. Satoshi threw a series of punches in a blind range which Kanashi could only block a few of.
Even though Satoshi wasn’t purposely using any kind of technique or style, his lifetime of experience trumped the little that Kanashi had. For every hit Kanashi deflected at least two others landed.
“!” I’ve gotta get away from him! He’s slowly picking me apart and if this goes on for any longer I’m gonna be outta stamina completely. Kanashi dropped his guard allowing Satoshis attacks to hit their mark but he used the chance to slam his open palm into Satoshis side.
[Sonic Boom!]
However this time instead of pushing Satoshi away Kanashi reversed the spell creating a blast of air to push himself away. He rolled backwards into the hallways and grabbed Itachi which had been laying in wait.
As Kanashi grabbed the blades handle he felt its blood lust permeate throughout the area.
“Rip, Tear, Cut, Kill!”
These words Rang through his mind while he felt the Katanas weathered handle on his skin. It truly wanted to taste Satoshis flesh but Kanashi pushed those intrusive thoughts to the back of head.
Satoshi stood up and summoned his [Tsubashinai], calmly he walked over to Kanashi who met his stare with an equal amount of malice.
“I really didn’t want to kill you, but it’s starting to look like that’s the only way we’re gonna end this.” Kanashi grunted, blowing the blood out of his nostril by pushing on the other.
“If it's a match of Kenjutsu you want’ then I’ll be happy to oblige.” Satoshis said pointing the tip of Tsubashinai at Kanashi.
Without hesitation Kanashi used [Kyoyu Style: Yuuka] imbuing an overabundant amount of mana into Itachi. The emission flew straight towards Satoshi who responded by kicking off the floor and spinning in the air to dodge the projectile. As Satoshi was in the air he kicked off the hall way wall and flew down to Kanashi.
Seeing this Kanashi conjured a wall of mud which Satoshi easily cleaved through. The wall burst into a splash of mud which formed many different frog and toad golems who shot their tounges at Satoshi restricting his limbs.
Kanashi leapt towards Satoshi bringing Itachi back and preparing to use [Wolf Fang Style: Dire Claw] a technique specialized in slicing open your opponents belly to gut them.
However Satoshi did the unexpected, Kanashi theorized that Satoshi would try to break free from the frogs grasp but he instead grabbed the frog's tongue and sung the golem back towards Kanashi.
“!?”
The frog smashed into Kanashi, exploding in a splash of mud which erupted with electricity.
[Paralysis!]
“!” Kanashi felt his entire body lock up. Blood poured out of his nose while his hair stood on end.
Satoshi using his now free hand baked the remaining golem with a blast of fire to stop their expanding ability. “If you hadn't used that before you might have got me, but you used the same trick twice!” Satoshi yelled, kicking Kanashi onto his back. “A triple stage spell is truly impressive for someone your age but you let it get to your head!”
Satoshi stomped down on Kanashi's stomach making him vomit whatever little still remained within. “It’s a shame Kanashi you’re just as weak as I feared.” Satoshi sighed, lifting Tsubashinai above his head.
“You’re the weak one here.” Kanashi croaked out with a cough. “You rely on others and feel a constant need to be a part of a group to fit in. Unlike you I’m perfectly fine being alone even if that means the whole world is against me.”
At this provocation a large vein grew on Satoshis forehead. “What did you say?” He grunted with narrow eyes.
“Did I stutter?”
Satoshi swung Tsubashinai straight for Kanashi head intending to split it down the middle but the few seconds of talking gave Kanashi a chance to prepare for his counter.
Suddenly a massive wall of ice exploded into reality encasing Tsubashinai and rapidly growing up Satsoshis arm.
“!” Damnit I shouldn’t have bit! Satoshi thought trying to rip his arm out of the ice.
Kanashi didn’t let this chance pass by him, he fully enhanced his fist and punched Satoshi square in the nose. Satoshis head cocked backwards but Kanashi wasn’t done yet. He followed it up with an enhanced kick to Satoshis liver.
[HITSURUGI!] Tsubashinai erupted into a blaze metling the ice and allowing Satoshi to rip himself free.
Kanashi spun around amd grabbed Itachi from the floor. He raised it above his head right as Tsubashinai came down upon him the two blades once again clashing.
[Kyoyu Style: Yuuka!] Kanashi sent out a final blast of mana pushing Satoshi backwards some ways.
“Ha-Ha-Ha…” Kanashi wheezed feeling his aura on the verge of depletion. I’ve used too much, I’ve got under 10% of my mana pool left and it’ll take me at least a day to be back to full. If I stop using magic at all for maybe five minutes I could stretch it up to 20% but thats too risky! Kanashi brow furrowed at these thoughts.
“It seems like I was mistaken about our battle being over.” Satoshi said between his own gasps for air. “But before we continue there’s one thing I have to correct you on.”
“Fine with me.” Kanashi coughed. If I can keep him talking I can regenerate my mana pool faster. Just a little more and I can win! Kanashi deconjured Itachi and deactivated his observation while Satoshi and him talked.
“Your sentiment earlier about me being weak for needing a group is incorrect. Or at least the part about me being in a group in the first place. If you said that about the Yakuza members your statement would be correct but since I’m not a member of the Yakuza that doesn't apply to me.”
“Huh!?” Kanashi gasped genuinely shocked.
“I forged some documents after killing the guy who was originally supposed to be on this mission. I changed his details to fit mine and then transmuted the tattoo with the limitation of it vanishing once I step foot onto land.” Satoshi said, scratching the back of his head.
“Why tell me this now?! Are you really that sensitive and got mad over my provocation!?” Kanashi asked with furrowed brows. Keep talking! Just one more minute please!
“To buy me time for this.” Satoshi smiled pointing down at the floor.
“!”
Kanashi looked down and his eyes widened upon seeing Satoshis creation. A small tube of stone sat right in front of his foot connecting it to Satoshis. I’m such an idiot! I shouldn't have turned off my observation completely! Kanashi tried to jump back but his body was once again frozen stiff with constricted muscles.
[Paralysis!]
Bolts of electricity shot up Kanashis body from the tube created by Satoshi. The fire around them prevented any shadows from being cast so Satoshi created the tube with a hollow middle. The [Shadow] inside the tube then acted like a conduit for Satoshis own [Paralysis]
SHIT, FUCK THIS IS REALLY BAD! Kanashi thought. His entire body was burning from the inside out. He’d only managed to survive these electrical shocks because of his [Reinforcement] but since his mana pool was rapidly decreasing he soon would be unable to defend himself and fall victim to the full thousands of volts of electricity current surging within him.
[Kagepo] Satoshi teleported right in front of Kanashi with his Tsubanshinai in hand. Without hesitation he plunged the blade straight into Kanashi stomach.
“Geh!” Kanashi grunted and coughed up blood in response. He was frozen solid, unable to defend himself only able to watch Satoshi murder him.
“Not bad, Kanashi.” Satoshi smiled.
“!”
Satoshi suddenly felt something attacking him on the inside. It was like bombs were erupting within his body.
He redirected the flow of mana into me!? Satoshi thought clenching his teeth so hard his molars cracked. It was something he’d never been able to do or even witness firsthand. He only knew about such a thing because his father had told him of a scenario in which stabbing someone could be a losing action. Why!? Why you of all people, why are you pushing me this hard!?
Kanashi himself didn’t quite understand how he was doing it either. Hell he didn’t even truly understand what he was doing. When Satoshi stabbed him he forced his mana into Tsubashinai like he would Itachi. Tsubashinai acted like a conduit and pushed Kanashis aura into Satoshis body. Kanashi mana once entering Satoshi body targeted his aura nodes and mana circuits.
Satoshi ripped his Katana from Kanashis stomach and leaped backwards while clutching his chest in pain. “How’d you do that!?” He asked with a maniacal laugh.
“Not sure! I just did what my gut told me!” Kanashi laughed in response.
Ah, so this must be that thing Jin had told me about then. The [Abyssal Zone] well since I’m already this far I might as well go the rest of the way! “I promised a friend I wouldn’t do this but it looks like I’m going to break that promise.” Kanashi said burning his soul to create more aura.
“Words are cheap!” Satoshi laughed, leaping forwards. He swung Tsubashinai down at Kanashi who met it with Itachi.
[Rekitsurugi!] Tsubashinai crackled as bolts of electricity grew around its blade.
[Kyoyu Style: Yuuka!] Kanashi put everything into this final attack. His entire mana pool to the last drop was inside of it. How much of his life did he just burn up? A few hours? Maybe a week or year? That didn’t matter right now, the only thing he cared about was beating Satoshi. He was going to put his all into this final attack.
At that moment the Cymba was cut in half.
