We were getting close to the time we would need to help overhaul in his endeavors against the hero's but currently I was more occupied dealing with a more annoying situation. One night right before I went to sleep after training I was approached by a one of the high tier users that were looking to hunt me down "I wish for the two of us to duel one on one no holds bar. After all the reward I will get from my system for your head will be an enternal Mangekyō and a random devil fruit, only downside is I gotta do it alone."
I know my system has warned me against it but something rubs me wrong about how she thinks she can just look down on me. Sith Lord Revan the man to influence the entire galaxy just based on which side he is fighting for. Itachi Uchiha, one of the best ninja to ever walk the elemental nations that not even Nagato a self proclaimed god looked down on when he was half dead from disease. Roxas didn't have a long existence in kingdom hearts franchise but he was strong enough to wipe the floor with a lot of people at his peak strength and rivaled Sora's final drive form.
"I accept your challenge, when and where" the girl throws a card at me that I catch and disappears in a leaf shushin. Looking to the location on the card it seems to be an abandoned lot towards the edge of town that was occasional used for a illegal dog fight ring until the cops clamped down on the area.
This will leave no one looking too close since no one wants to get chased off by thugs and the police moved on once everyone up and ran. On the day of the fight I get decked out in my full gear with everything on my person or sealed in storage seals hidden among my body, i review my knowledge on this particular user and the main things I learned is that she has sword styles from I believe SAO and kill la kill but I can't be certain. She also has a mangekyo with unknown abilities and lastly a trump card that the system warns me off but can't tell me what it is.
Arriving at the lot she is standing in a dark version of Asuna's outfit with her rapier at her side trying to make someone run off from the looks of it. "I'm tell you I will be fine. I must do this on my own to get the best rewards possible." She smiles then waves the guy off some low tier loser who can't get close knowing he can't do anything so I focus on her as she gets into a hand to hand stance. I guess we are doing this DBZ style and starting out small then go big.
I can dig it so I don't summon any weapons from my seals and approach her as she says "Oh you are approaching me? Instead of running away you are approaching me." This puts a smile on my face even if we are gonna brutally murder each other no need to be a dick. "I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer." "Oh ho the please get as close as you like." With that we start the death match with throwing fist at each other. Her style is incredibly offensive as she tries to break into my defense but I don't give her a chance only parrying, blocking, or throwing the occasional counter but punching her is like punching bricks I have no clue what she got to make her so durable.
Eventually we both turn on our sharingan and the fight gets even more intense as her attacks become surgical and I can only keep her from breaking my guard thanks to the predictive capabilities of the force assisting me. She doesn't understand how I'm keeping it up but if I didn't have the force our trades of blows would be more even.
Another right hook flies for my face and I parry it to her waist where she finally grabs the rapier sitting in its sheath going for a quick slash hoping to catch me off guard which it did but I quickly summoned oblivion key blade and it protects me from a gash across my chest. We trade a couple strikes but I'm the one losing this time around as she gets cuts and nicks across my body showing her experience fighting blade wielding opponents while my experience is mostly fighting unarmed ones with the blade usually on the aggressive rather than defense to prevent opponents from using abilities or quirks.
The part that scares her is how fast, relatively, I'm improving during out fights as she slowly loses the advantage and I with my sharingan refine my technique against a skilled warrior. After some time trading blows I get a counter or two and with an opening they provided summon in my offhand Oathkeeper and jump to the offense with little luck as she holds out with superficial hits only getting in. We both look each other in the eye before activating our respective Mangekyō sharingan and begin trading blows with a new fervor.
The spectator outside the ring is only able to stare in awe of his secret crush as he watches the rouge and senpai arms become no longer visible anymore with the only indication that they are actually fighting is the sound of metal on metal clashing rapidly before they both pull back their weapons becoming visible to only reengage once more increasingly violently. He would be excited if it were not a death match and his dear senpai was frowning on top of that which usually did not happen unless she was watching him struggle to improve with such a poor quality system. Damn if only I got a better one I could help her fight that bastard. He thinks to himself before watching straining his eyes to see anything.
I would be frowning like my opponent is since she has such a stubborn constitution but I can't since I'm more busy fighting the psychotic smile that wants to break out right now. I mean have you ever fought knowing your life is on the line only to feel yourself improving in the adrenaline fueled haze. I am actually glad she is so durable right now since I cause use her as a grindstone to sharpen my skills and powers even further right now.
I even figured out how to finally get lightning chakra flowing through my keyblades in this fight, before they fought the chakra with magic energy and just wasted both but not here I am doing it. It is hard to explain but it isn't like a normal sword where you just put it in then it usually flows down the sword you gotta shape it right to the energies don't conflict like layering a double cheeseburger.
I was so happy and of course she had to charge her sword with chakra too when I did but that isn't what bothered me. What bothered me was when she pulled out this card that my system started warning me about with a alarm, turns out it is a litteral trump card that gives her invulnerability which is a Nono since she will abandon defense and cut my head off first chance she gets so I shout "The world" but her chakra flared to her eyes in that moment she had right before time froze. I wasn't sure what she did until I slashed her in half and again a couple more times to find no resistance.
That was the problem and I hadn't figured it out by the time the time stop finished so I only able to force her to drop her trump card on the ground. I looked at her trying to find out what happened then it clicked and I had a theory. Shouting "The world!" Again before throwing as many shurikens as I could unseal in those 5 seconds before resuming only for them to phase through her like a ghost. "Kamui?" I ask and she nods. This is troublesome since she will be able to make her entire body intangible before time fully stops unless I can trick or push her into a corner to not use it at the right time. If I'm not careful she might catch me in a trap too like Jotaro did Dio.
This is a test of who is faster then can I catch her or will she slip through my fingers and into my heart... with a knife just to be clear. Damn it I just having a hard time being away from momo for so long. No worries I'll be at the top of this world and then we can spend as much time together as we want to the queen to my kingdom. Just gotta get rid of these users and Deku so they can stop poisoning her mind with Kotoamatsukami and whatever else they have potentially done to turn her away and against me.
Seeing me distracted the user dashes at me with a thrust of her rapier winding up to spear me while I dodge the stab and it becomes a slice on my side. Quickly using cure magic thanks to the trusty old keyblade it shouldn't slow me down or bleed me out for now. Lowering my stance and leaning into my back foot I prepare to leap into her guard with a force push to up my speed I jump out at her fast as possible with a spinning attack only to find no resistance as I pass by and through her. I expect a counter but she disengages catching onto the fact I still had timestop off cooldown.
Man a scary thought is that according to the system her power is being suppressed so how strong and skilled is she normally? Shaking it off I send a right swing which she dodged followed by a strike for aimed for her ribs from the left which she dodged by jumping back. With a improved plan as oblivion is still in the dirt from my earlier right swing I spin it around in my hand, use the force to break up the ground, and drag it along the dirt with and upward swing to throw dust and dirt at her eyes hoping to stall her Kamui it successful so hoping to capitalize on this I freeze time and wail on her.
Once time resumes she falls to the ground defeated and I relax. I may look cool and composed but honestly underneath I was sweating bullets cause I could sense the fight slowly swinging back in her favor since I was unable to hit her leaving it to a losing battle of attrition. I turn to walk away from my dying opponent until she wasn't, she was standing like she never took the hit full health perfect condition kinda like she used izanagi but without going blind. I was confused until the system helpfully chipped in [Time until opponents invulnerability is over 4:45] welp here we go again.
