"Clank!"
The clash between their Color of Arms Haki created a deafening sound.
After exchanging blows for a while, both of them took some distance from each other, catching their breath. In the intense exchange just now, both of them seemed to be evenly matched. However, Giotto wa slightly out of breath.
He could indeed fight Kaido head-on with his Color of Arms Haki and Dying Will Flame. However, the gap between his endurance and Kaido was clear. This kind of battle would consume too much energy.
Sure enough, this kind of fighting style was not suitable for him. In the Family, only Knuckle could fight a monster like Kaido purely with physical strength.
"Vongola brat, are you out of breath already? I've only warmed up."
Kaido said tauntingly: "But I'm sure that's not all you got. I don't think you are stupid enough to compete with me on raw power. Although I can smash you into mincemeat, I have to say one thing... Show me your true strength, Vongola Primo! It will be boring for me to beat you like this!"
Color of Supreme King Haki burst again. Terrifying killing intent surged out at this moment. Kaido turned into a Shura, and an unparalleled and fierce aura slowly spread.
"Great Flame Commandment: Flame God!"
Giotto instantly transformed into a colossal flame giant. The scorching aura caused the surrounding temperature to rise. "Be careful not to turn into ashes too easily..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flame giant directly waved its fists at Kaido. Giotto still chose to face Kaido head-on, but this time he no longer used his physical strength to fight Kaido. Instead, he directly pushed his Devil Fruit's ability to the limit.
He used this move to fend off Sengoku in his Buddha form, so it should be usable against Kaido.
"This petty fire is only good for boiling my bathwater!"
Kaido was not afraid of fire. He struck the flame giant's fist with his metal club. The two of them once again clashed head-on.
The biggest difference this time was Giotto had become bigger than Kaido after using Flame God!
"You'll die if you look away while facing me, you know!"
In the blink of an eye, Ugetsu Asari suddenly increased his speed. He threw his three short swords, which turned into three rays of light imbued with Rain Flame that blocked King's movement from three different directions.
Then, he gripped his long sword with both hands. The Rain Flame instantly turned solid, and a layer of thin transparent ice appeared on the blade.
"Rain Devouring!"
Originally, Rain Devouring was four attacks that landed at the same point simultaneously. However,Ugetsu Asari tweaked it a bit this time. He used his three short swords to cut off the opponent's route, and then he concentrated the Rain Flame on his long sword, piercing the opponent's defense from the front.
"Damn it!"
King had indeed been distracted for a moment just now. He was a little too focused on his captain for a moment, but that moment alone was enough for the opponent to break through his defense.
So far, he could dodge Ugetsu Asari's attack thanks to his tremendous speed in the air. If he was not distracted, he could quickly get out of the way before the three short swords closed in, but it was already too late now. He had to face Ugetsu Asari head-on. This was the world's greatest swordsman's slash!
King no longer dared to hesitate. He immediately displayed his Devil Fruit's ability and directly transformed into a Pteranodon. He covered his wings with Color of Arms Haki. At this moment, his wings were his sword!
"Blade Back Twin Emperor!"
King flapped his wings to launch an elliptic air projectile that was shrouded in flames at Ugetsu Asari that was ready to strike him and also struck with his wings.
"Bang!"
The moment both attacks collided, massive shockwaves occurred in the sky. The strong wind blew everything in the surroundings. An average people would've been sent flying because of the impact.
Fortunately for King, he managed to block the attack. The sword's blade covered in thin ice only scratched the skin of his wings.
King seized this opportunity to counterattack. His left leg, which had turned into a claw, gripped Ugetsu Asari's right shoulder. He was well aware that the gap between them was clear. Thus, even if he were to gripped his opponent now, it was very likely that he would be struck by his opponent's next attack.
However, in this situation, getting hit by his opponent's attack in exchange for injuring his opponent in the process in this fight where his life was on the line was his best choice!
However, when he was about to attack with his wings, his entire body suddenly refused to listen to him. After his entire body froze, he fell from the sky and fiercely smashed onto the ground.
"Rain Devouring is not a technique to kill the enemy, but an attack to deprive the opponent of their ability to move."
At this moment, Ugetsu Asari landed beside King and said slowly, "... From the moment you were hit by Rain Devouring, your fate has already been decided."
That was right. The purpose of Rain Devouring was to deprive the opponent of their ability to move. The moment King was cut, the thin layer of ice covering Ugetsu Asari's blade pierced the opponent's wound.
When the dense and solid Rain Flame entered his body, it stopped his bodily functions. King being able to remain conscious just went to show how tough his body was.
At this moment, King just stared at Ugetsu Asari, unable to speak.
"From the moment you attacked Vongola Family, the outcome has already been decided. Primo wouldn't stand still if someone attacks a member of our Family. Since you've made such a mistake, us, Vongola Family, won't stop until we decimate you all!"
A cold glint suddenly flashed in Ugetsu Asari's eyes. It was unknown if it were because coming to this world but, his state of mind had changed.
In the next moment, he swung his own long sword again. His battle had been concluded. As he waved his long sword, Giotto, who was fighting Kaido, also heard the system notification sound...
"Mission: Kill three All-Stars (1/3)!"
