"Why don't you show me how weak I am!"
Both Sasaki and Hoshiko raise their aura. They dash towards each other and simultaneously hit each other. Sasaki's sword makes impact with Hoshiko's leg and it causes a clash.
The clash ends and they both keep consecutively hit each other creating one mini clash after another.
Hoshiko uses her light attacks every time but Sasaki is capable enough to keep up and block most of them.
After every hit, Hoshiko starts to get more and more tired. Sasaki notices the sweat dripping from her forehead.
"Now that's your weakness!"
"What?"
Sasaki runs around Hoshiko to where he's facing her backside. Sasaki goes to slash her back but Hoshiko turns around in time to block it.
Sasaki let's off a cheeky smile. He dashes as fast as he can to then again face Hoshiko's backside. He is successful since now, Hoshiko can't keep up.
He slashes Hoshiko in the back. She is stunned that Sasaki picked up that much speed to surpass her light attacks.
"You Light Disciples get tired so easily."
A common weakness of Light Disciples is that their attacks take a lot of stamina. Since their attacks are sped up due to their type of aura, it would take more stamina for the attacks to be successful.
That's why from a young age, Light Disciples train their cardiovascular system so that they can bypass that weakness.
Hoshiko drops to her knees due to the pain of that attack.
"No! I'm not done yet."
Hoshiko crouches down. Three light orbs surround her. She then flies high into the air. The three orbs follow her.
"What is she planning."
She raises her aura. Her aura is glowing just like a star. The whole island can see it.
"This is bad. Her aura just powered up a lot in such a small amount of time. I guess it's time to use it again."
Sasaki powers up his aura. He then jumps as high as he can to reach Hoshiko.
"Starlight Stream!"
Hoshiko flips in the air. While flipping, the three orbs go inside her right leg. Her right leg starts to glow with powerful aura. She then shoots down with her right leg first.
"Sacred Wolfs Rage!"
Hoshiko looks like a shooting star when she's falling straight to Sasaki.
Around him, Sasaki's aura takes the form of a large wolf head with vicious fangs. Both their auras are powerful and can be sensed around the whole island.
His sword clashes with her leg and it causes a massive aura burst in between them. They're currently trying to overpower each other. The wolf disappears.
Their clash is causing the ground to break. The cracks of the ground starts to spread around the whole island.
The intense breeze of their clash detaches several trees around them from the ground.
Everyone on the island and everyone watching is astonished by the power that these two are displaying. The nobles especially are certainly impressed.
They are both struggling to overpower one another. Sasaki is trying to think of something to do that will defeat Hoshiko in this clash.
"I don't know how long I can last."
"Neither do I."
"I have to end this quick."
Sasaki powers up his aura. He starts screaming to help power up his aura. His aura is taking the form of the giant wolf again.
"Sacred-"
He struggles to carry on with the technique. Hoshiko has caught up to his strength of aura.
"You won't beat me that easily. SASAKI!"
"Sacred Wolfs-"
Hoshiko manages to overpower him leading the wolf to disappear again.
"I can't do it. I have to do something different."
"This is it Sasaki. I'm ending this now!"
Hoshiko raises her once more. It's visually clear that she's overpowering him.
"Starlight Stream!"
"I have to do something. I have to-"
Sasaki's eyes turn to a golden yellow. The aura around him turns purple.
"This is my only chance. I have to show everyone that I'm the strongest!"
For the last time, Sasaki absolutely overpowers Hoshiko's aura.
"Mujihina Cut!"
The technique is successful and it's bigger and more powerful than any time he's ever done it. The technique cancels out Hoshiko's technique and hits her.
Impact creates a large explosion around them. There's also another explosion miles away. The explosion Sasaki made is bigger.
Sasaki lands on his feet. Hoshiko falls harshly to the ground. She is covered with scratches and bruises. She can barely move so she stays lying on the ground.
Sasaki walks up to her. His eyes turn back to normal.
"Hey Sasaki. That technique of yours is brutal. That's pretty much attempted murder."
Sasaki strengthens the grip of his sword.
"It's not the first time someone said that to me."
"And this is probably gonna be your last. When you do that technique, your eyes. Your eyes are filled with the intent to murder. It's not a good look on you."
Hoshiko chuckles. Her cape flies past the pair.
The large fire blast is about to hit Isamu. He slaps one hand to the ground.
"Thunder Arena!"
A bunch of thunder is spread on the ground until it hits Homura. It paralyses Homura. He is now unable to move and the technique disappears.
"What the hell. I can't move."
Isamu laughs.
"You really thought you got me. Don't make me laugh. This cape isn't here just for display."
"So what now? Now that I can't move."
Isamu walks up to Homura. He puts his right hand in front of his face. He starts raising his aura.
"Thunderclap Arrow."
A large thunder strike shoots out from the palm of his hand. And of course, it hits Homura and sends him flying.
Homura falls to the ground. He can't move a muscle. He is currently unconscious. The bracelet is now in the process of teleporting him away.
Kuragami is running out of the forest into open space.
"Finally out of that forest. Surely this island is bigger than a normal island."
Two dark attacks are flying towards Kuragami. He effortlessly dodges it. He looks back and sees two Dark Disciples eyeing him down.
"I haven't found one Dark Disciple since the start."
Kuragami runs towards them. One of them runs straight at him and goes in for a punch.
Kuragami ducks to dodge it and knees his chest. He then uses two fists to sledgehammer his back to slam him to the ground.
The other one runs up with his aura raised. Kuragami quickly crouches to the floor and puts one hand to the ground.
Ice emerges from the ground blocking his path to Kuragami.
"Let's go."
Dark aura covers the ice and instantly shatters it.
"What the hell! No way he's this strong.
"He isn't! But I am!"
The dark aura clears. Standing next to the Dark Disciple is Daku. Kuragami starts to get nervous. But at the same time, he's excited. He stands up. He is now surrounded by three Dark Disciples.
He punches his right fist to his left hand.
"This is the moment I've been waiting for. The moment where I get the chance to beat you!"
On the right side of the island, appears a big explosion. A powerful aura clash happens on the left side of the island.
In a castle somewhere where royalty resides, a young girl with long pink hair is watching the Shorai Skirmish.
Everyone watching can pick a specific Shorai they want to watch. They can change who they watch at any time.
This young girl picked to watch Kuragami and hasn't changed since the start. She seems to be watching it with one of her guards.
"He seems to be doing good don't you think princess?"
She nods. The screen starts glowing blue.
"Oh. Since when could you do that Kuragami?"
She smiles.
"You sure have grown a lot."
