Whoosh
The wind was howling loudly, dust was swept off the ground, covering portions of the air. It was quite obvious to the heavens or anyone watching. This battle was coming to a crashing finish. Mahito was on one knee gasping for air, grabbing his stomach.
His eyes were filled with insanity, his final effort had failed but... somehow, he discovered it. Mahito had discovered his true self, a grin filled with malice crept onto his face, as he palmed his face using both hands and murmured to himself.
" Idle Transfiguration " Instantly, Mahito's body started to morph gruesomely becoming a blob of skin and blood. Yuji and the others could only watch in shock, until in a flash the blob vanished and a figure could be seen standing, glaring at Yuji, while his black tendrils flowed wildly in the gusts of wind.
Sweat poured down Yuji's face as Mahito's powerful energy swept past his body, he glared at Mahito's monstrous appearance until Mahito waved his hands while laughing.
" How about wishing me a happy birthday? I'll make sure to release the candles from their cruel lives. " Before Yuji could react, Mahito's body sprung foward with his right fist tightly balled. Off of pure instinct, Yuji crossed his arms. However, Mahito's target wasn't Yuji... Mahito sprinted past Yuji coming to a sliding stop next to Nobara, throwing the punch.
Nobara's eyes couldn't track Mahito's movements, she was clueless that Mahito was directly next to her, seeing this. Todo quickly brought his hands together, but as soon as he tried to clap. His hands froze unable to move. Todo's eyes widened before a powerful bang rippled out behind him.
He caught glimpses of black lighting spewing out, as a shockwave swept past him. Todo watched as Nobara's body flew past him, with blood pouring out of her skull. The powerful punch completely shattered her skull, she flew unconscious before repeatedly bouncing off the ground and finally slamming into a nearby building.
The sudden attack shocked Yuji and Todo who quickly dashed back, coming to a sliding stop directly next to each other. They glanced at each other, before Todo spoke, explaining himself.
" I don't why but something stopped me from clapping. " Yuji looked at Todo confused, but before they could finish speaking. Mahito lunged at them giving them no time to strategize. Mahito reached Yuji, throwing a barrage of punches that Yuji barely fended off. Until a clap rippled through the air and Mahito switched places with Yuji.
This small action gave Yuji time to breathe before he slipped a punch and slammed a powerful punch into Mahito's gut, but nothing happened. Only a metallic shriek echoed through the air. Yuji couldn't believe it, Mahito's armor was harder than Choso's. Yuji dashed back as Mahito's black tendrils swung out wildly slicing Yuji's limbs.
Yuji gritted his teeth in pain as he watched, Todo spring at Mahito slamming a kick into Mahito's ribs. However, just like Yuji, the attack had no effect. Mahito threw a punch as Todo clapped his hands switching places with Mahito making his attack miss. Todo dashed back gaining distance away from Mahito. Todo and Yuji glanced at each other, before nodding their heads. A single idiotic plan ran through their heads simultaneously. If it doesn't break at first... keep punching it.
Metal bangs rippled out, as Todo and Yuji slammed a barrage of attacks into Mahito, who just stretched out his hands cockily enduring the attacks. Until one of his black tendrils sharpened and shot out of his elbow slicing across Yuji's face, cutting his cheek open. Blood poured down his face as Mahito contorted his body slamming a backhand into Todo's chin, making him wobble back.
As Todo took unsteady steps back, Mahito slammed a kick into Todo's chest sending him flying through the air. Todo's jacket flowed wildly in the wind before he crashed into the ground coming to a crashing halt, Mahito glared at Todo's unconscious body with a cruel grin on his face. Mahito was fully confident that he could kill both Yuji and Todo.
He was so confident, that he decided not to use Idle Transfiguration on Todo. Planning on killing him personally. But this over-cockiness will come back to bite him...Crack.
As Mahito glared at Todo, a single ear-deafening crack rippled through the air. This sudden cracked stunned Mahito who quickly reached up to his face grabbing onto his crown. His fingers rubbed across his crown feeling a single large crack running down it. Mahito's true form was quickly shattering, he had less than two minutes to maintain it.
Sensing this, the cocky grin on his face vanished as Mahito glanced back toward Todo's body. He bent his knees springing foward taking several lightning-fast steps, with his right hand extended out, reaching toward Todo's chest. His fingers inched closer and closer, as Yuji watched helplessly unable to keep up with Mahito's speed.
As the fingers grew closer, the same cocky grin appeared on Mahito's face. He knew, that if he killed Todo in front of Yuji, there was no doubt it would shatter his soul. After all, Yuji didn't know if Nobara was alive. Mahito's fingers were mere millimeters away from Todo's chest until finally, his index finger touched Todo's chest...But.
Oddly, the surface Mahito was feeling wasn't skin but instead metal. Mahito's eyes quickly glanced at Todo's neck, before seeing a chain around Todo's neck. Mahito's eyes widened as he brought his palm closer to Todo's chest, but before his palm could fully touch. In the corner of Mahito's eyes, he saw a figure dashed towards him. Mahito quickly leaned back, as the figure flew past him in a flash.
Mahito glanced over at the figure as both his arms in unison were sliced off. Mahito saw a young man holding onto a katana. This man had finally returned from his battle with Mute. It was Yuta Okkotsu. Mahito felt the powerful curse energy seeping off Yuta's body, before a strong attack slammed into Mahito's back sending him flying foward.
Due to Mahito's entire focus being on Yuta, he didn't notice Yuji who slammed a kick into Mahito's back, causing black lighting to spew off his leg. The cracks on Mahito's crown started to increase rapidly before a section of Mahito's crown crumbled revealing his eye. Mahito let out a gasp of annoyance, as he pushed off the ground, gingerly standing up.
Mahito stood up as Yuta turned around and spoke coldly.
"Die. It's the best option for you. " Mahito felt a shiver run down his spine as Yuta's sinister killing intent enveloped him. Yuta gripped his sword tightly, as he stared foward emotionlessly. Little did Mahito know, Yuta's words weren't meant for him. Instead, for the person watching this battle unfold.
Mahito watched as in a split second, a figure appeared in front of him. The figure let out a chuckle before he spoke responding to Yuta.
" Your death will be more worthless than Yuki's. " Yuta glared at Mute, who had finally intervened...
