Kenchi's kick connected with brutal force, shattering Ashura's ribs.
~Ashura~
(What the hell, I can't keep up with his speed).
~Kenchi~
I'll end you with this attack.
Kenchi blurred into near invisibility, his movements too swift to track. However, a stray piece of debris tripped him, throwing off his finishing move.
Seizing the chance, Ashura struck Kenchi with a powerful punch, launching him into the air. Ashura ascended after him.
~Kenchi~
Damn it! Soul Magic: Spirit Eruption!
A small ball of flames descended toward Ashura, but to Kenchi's astonishment, Ashura consumed the attack, his monstrous form growing even more menacing.
~Ashura~
Thanks for the meal. Allow me to repay you.
With a charged attack, Ashura unleashed a blast aimed at Maki.
~Kenchi~
(Shit! Spirit Flame Flash)!
Kenchi propelled himself towards Maki, creating a dome of swirling flames to shield her from the incoming assault.
~Ashura~
My hunger is insatiable.
Ashura's jaw expanded, stretching to half the size of his body.
~Ashura~
(Gluttony).
A force of unimaginable power surged from his gaping maw, akin to a black hole.
~Kenchi~
Shit, I can't escape his range. My bones are breaking, one by one.
~Ashura~
(Your time is up).
Kenchi lost his footing, his body succumbing to the relentless force. Just as he was about to become Ashura's meal, a swift purple light flashed past him. Ashura's gums were sliced in the blink of an eye, nullifying his deadly trap.
~Maki~
Did you really think I was dead? Maki's devilish smile taunted Ashura.
~Ashura~
You insolent fool. I'll finish the job this time.
