Hasake and Kuragami find Jericho. Jericho looks different. A fierce aura surrounds him.
"Kuragami. Step back. His aura is different to his normal aura. You know what that means right?"
"Yeah. It's the monster inside him. Did it take over."
Jericho smiles.
"Nah. Kuragami, this is my Kiritsu form!"
"Kiritsu? As in, discipline?"
"This happens when the aura from the beast inside me replaces aura of my own. But I'm still in control of my body."
"Well that's good."
Both Hasake and Jericho look at Kuragami confused.
"How is that good?"
"Because he isn't a big octopus. I would rather beat him when he's small."
"I wouldn't say that. My Kiritsu Form has its up and downs compared to Octo. For example-"
Kiritsu Jericho dashes behind Kuragami and kicks him away before he could do anything.
"In this form, all my movements are beyond the speed of light."
A tree stops Kuragami from going any further. The tree breaks in half and is about to fall on Kuragami's head.
Luckily, Kuragami gets up in time to get out the way.
"Hasake, he's not lying. Damn that hurts."
Kiritsu Jericho raises his hand. He starts charging up a technique within his palm.
"Light Sensation!"
He throws the technique at Hasake. Hasake lifts up ice from the ground to block the attack. When the technique hits the ice, it creates a large explosion. An explosion nearby happens too.
Kuragami looks at the direction to the other aura.
"What is that dark aura?! Kiyoshi is there though so it must be nothing."
Kuragami waits for the explosion to clear out. Hasake isn't there.
"He left without a trace. Where is he?"
Hasake appears behind Kiritsu Jericho. He puts his blade to his neck.
"Any more movement, I'll kill you."
"You'll kill me?"
Jericho smiles.
"You mean, you'll try to kill me. Do you even have the heart to kill your former student?"
"Wanna find out?"
"I already did a couple moments ago."
"Hm?"
"When you froze me, you didn't use your awakened ability."
"Awakened ability? What the hell is he talking about Hasake?"
"I'm talking about his ability to make his ice explode. When I broke out, I should've died due to the explosions. But he didn't use his explosive ice. That led to me escaping."
"I think your misunderstanding things, Jericho."
Jericho freezes. Shivers run down his spine.
"What?!"
"Trust me, I'll kill you without worry. I just wanted to give you a chance. To give up and follow me, the D.O. Live a normal life without fear. Or at least help people. Be like me and Kuragami."
"Why would I be like you deceived idiots! If you're gonna kill me, kill me."
Hasake is making a decision to kill him or not. He comes up with an answer.
"Imma give you one more-"
"Wrong choice."
Kiritsu Jericho slaps his hand to Hasake's chest. He pushes him away with his aura.
"No way!"
Kuragami swiftly gets ready to fight Jericho.
"Blessed Arm!"
Kuragami and Jericho both dash to each other. Jericho slides above the Blessed Arm and lands behind Kuragami.
Kuragami punches the Blessed Arm to the ground to stop any unnecessary movement. He turns around, lifts up the Blessed Arm and punches Jericho.
In response, Jericho gives the large fist an aura filled punch causing an aura clash to occur.
The clash rumbles the whole forest. Trees start falling, rocks start rolling down mountains.
A different type of energy releases ahead of Kiritsu Jericho's aura. It causes the Blessed Arm to shatter into pieces and beat Kuragami in the aura clash.
The punch reaches Kuragami's chest. He starts rolling on the ground due to the punch.
"What was that? Was that the Kyanseru thing Hasake was talking about? Because if so, I need to watch out. It instantly destroyed my Blessed Arm."
Kuragami stands up.
"Well if that's the case, then."
He chuckles. He closes his eyes and puts his hand to his heart. He starts glowing.
"Let my soul be one with yours."
He uses his Ice Coating.
"It's time for me to beat you know!"
Kuragami and Jericho dash to each other.
Kuragami hits his stomach, then leaps to his feet and attempts to kick Jericho in the right side of the skull. Jericho blocks it and then punches him in the gut.
Kuragami fights through the pain and punches Jericho twice in the head. Jericho attempted to hit him in the skull, but Kuragami ducks, strikes his stomach, then jumps up and attempts to kick him in the head again.
This time it's successful.
Kuragami dashes to a tree and slaps his hand on it.
"Artic Forest!"
He freezes the whole forest so that he's at advantage. Jericho looks around. There's really ice everywhere.
Jericho runs towards Kuragami. Suddenly, a large icicle grows from the floor and nearly hits Jericho. Luckily, he moves back in time.
"So how did that happen?"
"Recently, I've been training to control my aura. So I thought now that I have more control of it, I can manipulate my aura enough to be able to create my own ice battlefield and control it. Meaning that I have the edge over you."
"That's clever. But what happens when your opponent is way faster than you?"
"Umm?"
Jericho raises his aura. He then runs fast enough that it looks like he's in a permanent state of Light Travel. He does circles around the whole forest. He then goes inside the forest and runs behind Kuragami.
Kuragami's All Sight activates. It shows Jericho racing as quickly as he can behind him. Kuragami is taken aback. He notices Jericho close behind him. He jumps to the right just in time for Jericho to fly straight by him.
Jericho then comes to a halt in order to turn. He jumps to Kuragami and kicks him to the ground, producing a big crater as soon as he faces Kuragami's direction.
"See Kuragami. What made you think that you can beat the speeds of a True Light Disciple?"
The explosion starts clear from Ōyama's explosion. He sees that Kiyoshi is still there.
Kiyoshi grabs his hand. Ōyama is shocked and doesn't know what to do. Kiyoshi pulls him closer and head butts him.
Kiyoshi then pulls him down and knees his chin causing Ōyama to be in flight for a few seconds.
Kiyoshi stands up. No bruises, no scratches.
"I think it's time I start trying now."
He cracks his knuckles.
"Let's see how easy it is to break you out of your Coating!"
Ōyama stands up. An ice beam comes out of nowhere and hits Ōyama. It flings Ōyama backwards.
Some of the ice sticks on to him. As he's falling, the ice explodes.
"It exploded? That could only be one man."
Hasake appears in front of them.
"Let's beat him together, Kiyoshi!"
