Rowan threw punch after punch at the spirit, but he just blocked them effortlessly. Then the spirit tried to punch Rowan, but he dodged it easily. Then Rowan threw a punch that connected with the spirit's face and sent him back a bit. "He's faster than Kisu, but his striking strength is seriously lacking," the spirit thought as he rushed at Rowan. Rowan threw a right hook at the spirit, but he dove to avoid the attack. From there, he covered his fist in a red aura and punched Rowan straight in the gut. Rowan's eyes rolled in the back of his head as the punch hit him. "His punches might have more force than Kisu's?" Rowan thought as he was sent flying by the punch. Rowan managed to land on his knees, and from there he made a gun with his fingers once more. "Neutral Technique: Weed Cutter!" As the slash shot towards the spirit, something happened that Rowan had not accounted for. The spirit split the screen into two individuals, and the slash passed right between them. Rowan's eyes widened. "What?" he thought. As soon as the slash passed the spirit, the two halves became one again. Then he disappeared from sight, and Rowan looked at his surroundings. "Where is that guy? We've only been fighting for about two minutes, and he's already beating my ass," Rowan thought as he looked around. Then the spirit appeared behind him, and his right foot became enveloped in negative soul energy. Before Rowan could react, he was kicked and sent flying by the spirit. Rowan rolled viciously across the ground, 10 meters away from the spirit. When Rowan stopped rolling, he got off the ground. The spirit then disappeared and reappeared behind Rowan. "He's fast, but I'm faster," Rowan thought as he immediately turned around and shot a blast of energy at the spirit point blank range. The blast tore through the ground and shot up in the air, and after a few seconds, it disappeared. Rowan smirked. "That definitely did damage." At that moment, Rowan felt something grab his wrist. "You really think something like 'that' can hurt me," the spirit said as he grabbed Rowan's wrist and threw him 10 meters away. Rowan managed to land on his feet this time. Not giving Rowan any time to breathe, the spirit began shooting a beam of negative soul energy, and Rowan hit him dead on. "And another one down. I honestly expected more from him; whatever, I at least finished the mission," the spirit said as he turned around and began walking away slowly with a smirk. "Neutral Technique: Harpoon!" The spirit turned around when he heard that, and when he did, two harpoons flew into his shoulders. "What?" before he could finish his train of thought, the harpoons exploded inside his shoulders. The spirits arms were completely blown off. "W-What the hell, was that?" Just as he thought, he heard a voice coming from the smoke. "I didn't catch your name back there." When the smoke cleared, the spirit saw Kisu standing in front of Rowan's unconscious, with dried blood all over his face. "You look rough, dude," the spirit said nervously as his arms slowly began to regenerate. "I don't care how I look; just answer my question: What is your name?" Kisu said as he gave the most sadistic smile. "My name's Maha," he replied. Kisu laughed. "Maha, what an ugly name; at least I know what to put on your gravestone now," Kisu said with a smile. Maha gritted his teeth. "Getting cocky now, aren't you?" he asked. "Something like that," Kisu replied. "Now c'mon, what ya waiting for, attack me!" He shouted. "Something's different about him now; his aura is...creepier," Maha thought as his arms fully regenerated. Kisu then appeared right in front of him. "Fine, I'll make the first move," he said as his fist became engulfed in a dark red glow. "Negative energy! Wasn't he just using neutral energy before??"Maha thought as Kisu drove his fist into Maha's stomach and sent him sliding across the ground. "What the hell! His punches broke my skin," Maha thought as he stared at his stomach. "That outer shell ain't looking too good. I understand now why my punches didn't do much damage. They just couldn't penetrate your rough outer layer; that's also why my forehead was bleeding when I head-butted you," Kisu said. Maha gritted his teeth and rushed at Kisu. He threw a barrage of punches at him, but Kisu just blocked them, but not effortlessly. Maha put his foot behind Kisu's and punched him in the face so that he would trip backwards. Kisu stopped his fall by landing on his hands. Then he brought his right foot up and kicked Maha in the face with one swift motion. Maha staggered backwards and looked at Kisu, who was now in a handstand position. "Are you a gymnast now?" Maha asked as he wiped some blood from his mouth. Kisu flipped himself over and stood upright. "Y'know, I didn't expect negative energy to be this intoxicating; it makes me feel euphoric. You feel me?" Kisu asked Maha with a smile. Maha shook his head. "Negative energy for spirits is like neutral energy for humans, so no, I don't feel ya," he replied. "Too bad, I can't explain it, but it feels right," Kisu said as he looked Maha dead in the eyes. "Those eyesβ¦" Maha thought, "So you are my natural enemy!" He shouted as he rushed at Kisu and threw multiple punches, but Kisu blocked them. He then dodged one of Maha's punches, grabbed his arm, and threw him 17 meters away. Before Maha could even touch the ground, Kisu appeared behind him and kicked the spirit in the opposite direction. As Maha flew through the air, it felt as if time had stopped for Kisu. "So this is what my technique feels like... It's even more euphoric than negative energy. I'm not over the trauma, but I think this is a fitting time to use it," Kisu thought. He took a deep breath; he could feel everythingβthe wind, the emotions in the air, the height of tension, the negative and positive energy that floated in the air. Kisu closed his eyes and muttered. "ππ€πͺπ‘ πππ£ππ₯πͺπ‘ππ©ππ€π£: πΎπ€π£π«ππ§πππ£ππ..." In that moment, the energy that enveloped Kisu's hands turned from a dark red to black, and the ring on his finger began to glow. A ball of pure black orbs of energy formed at the ends of Kisu's finger tips, and he threw it at Maha. As it approached Maha, it got bigger and bigger. "Kisu, you are my true enemy. Soul Manipulationβ¦wonderful." And in that moment, the ball engulfed Maha, and it collapsed in on itself, and the last thing Maha heard was "ππ£π‘ππ’ππ©ππ π½π‘πππ β¦"
