A pillar of darkness envelops Akio, as his body becomes black, alongside his wings. When the pillar disperses, Akio lunges at Kurayami, having adopted the same look that he once had when he had become a berserker again at her supposed death.
Akio manages to punch Kurayami, who hits him with an even stronger kick to the stomach, as she scratches his face with her demonic claws. Akio regains some level of control over his power, however, as he regenerates his wounds, instead breaking Kurayami's left arm.
The demonic berserker writhes in pain, as Akio hits Kurayami with an uppercut, and he grabs her face, throwing her at the ground. Akio continues to follow her, punching her in the stomach, increasing her momentum even further.
