As Avaron's account of the encounter with Yuri settled in the room, a heavy silence enveloped the Knights of Hono. Their expressions were a mix of concern and uncertainty, each of them grappling with the growing threat they faced. It was Ryo Shou, the Reality Warp Knight and the leader of the Knights, who finally broke the silence. His voice carried an air of unwavering determination as he addressed his comrades. "We are Knights," Ryo Shou began, his tone serious and commanding. "We possess powerful magic, and yet, you all sound scared. Pathetic." His words hung in the air like a gauntlet thrown down. Ryo's gaze met each Knight's, a challenge in his eyes. He knew the extent of his own power, and he wasn't one to underestimate it. He continued, his voice filled with conviction, "I wouldn't let anyone here get hurt, not even myself, and certainly not anyone in the city if I can prevent it." Ryo's powers allowed him to manipulate the very fabric of reality itself. He could bend the laws of physics, reshape the environment, and, when needed, protect those around him from harm. His strength was a formidable asset to the Knights, and he was determined to wield it to its fullest extent to safeguard the mission and those he cared about. His words were a declaration of his unwavering resolve, a reminder to the Knights of Hono that they were a force to be reckoned with, and that no adversary, no matter how formidable, would stand unchallenged in their path. The room was filled with the weight of Ryo's commitment, and the other Knights couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of determination. They were Knights, and together, they would face the challenges ahead with courage and unity. Kyokuske Yoratami, one of the former captains of the Demon Realm, had been covertly observing the powerful Hotetsu member known as Araki Yoko. His intent was to gather valuable information about the Hotetsu Organization's plans and activities. Little did he know that he had been spotted. As Kyokuske maintained his position, hidden behind a building, Araki Yoko's perceptive senses detected his presence. She instantly turned, her expression a mix of curiosity and caution. In a swift motion, she raised her hand, palm facing Kyokuske's direction. "Seion no Hōkō," she uttered the incantation, and a formidable soundwave erupted from her hand. The sheer power of the soundwave created shockwaves on impact, tearing through the air and destroying anything in its path. When it struck the building Kyokuske was concealed behind, it obliterated the structure, blowing his cover in an explosive fashion. Kyokuske was left exposed, and Araki Yoko confronted him directly. Her gaze was piercing as she demanded, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" The confrontation between Kyokuske Yoratami and Araki Yoko escalated into a high-stakes battle of supernatural abilities. With his dark powers and her devastating soundwave manipulation, the two adversaries were poised for an intense clash. Kyokuske understood the precariousness of his situation. If he were to be struck by even the slightest soundwave, he knew it could be game over for him. With this knowledge in mind, he moved with calculated precision. Kyokuske unleashed the full extent of his dark powers. Shadowy tendrils sprang forth from his being, snaking through the air like inky serpents. These tendrils were his primary means of offense, able to ensnare, crush, and nullify his foes. As they reached out towards Araki Yoko, they weaved and danced with deadly intent. Araki Yoko, undaunted, counteracted with her soundwave prowess. She directed waves of destructive force toward Kyokuske, creating a symphony of destructive power in her wake. The concussive shockwaves clashed with Kyokuske's dark tendrils, a tumultuous battle of sound and darkness. The battlefield became a chaotic arena of power and destruction. Kyokuske's mastery of dark energy allowed him to deflect and absorb the soundwaves, making them dissipate harmlessly around him. He launched his own shadowy attacks, lashing out with precision and intent. In response, Araki Yoko demonstrated her finesse in manipulating soundwaves. She created barriers of pure sonic energy, using them to deflect Kyokuske's dark tendrils and mount her own counteroffensive. The air vibrated with the intensity of their duel, and nearby structures trembled from the sheer power of their conflict. The battle was a deadly dance, a clash of supernatural abilities that could tip the scales in an instant. As they fought, Kyokuske knew that even the smallest mistake or a momentary lapse in concentration could prove fatal. Both combatants were determined to emerge victorious, and the outcome of this fierce confrontation remained uncertain. With every movement, every attack, the battlefield became a canvas of chaos and destruction. Kyokuske and Araki Yoko were locked in a relentless struggle, each seeking to overcome the other's formidable powers in this high-stakes duel.
The intense battle between Kyokuske Yoratami and Araki Yoko had left a trail of destruction in its wake. The battlefield was a chaotic mess of debris, ruined structures, and the lingering echoes of their fierce clash. The sheer magnitude of the battle had not gone unnoticed. Ryo Shou, the leader of the Knights of Hono, became acutely aware of the disturbance. He could sense the disruption and devastation from afar, prompting him to act swiftly. With his reality-warping abilities, he opened a portal that led directly to the battleground. As Ryo materialized at the chaotic scene, he was met with a shocking sight. Kyokuske and Araki Yoko were locked in combat, their powers wreaking havoc. The city bore the scars of their battle, and Ryo's expression hardened with a deep frown. "What are you doing to my city!?" Ryo's voice carried an undertone of anger, his gaze moving between the two combatants. His powers allowed him to manipulate the very fabric of reality, and he wasn't pleased to see the destruction unfolding before him. Kyokuske, seeing Ryo's arrival, recognized the gravity of the situation. He raised his voice urgently, shouting to Ryo, "Kill her now before she keeps making disasters!"
Ryo focused his attention on Araki Yoko, her malevolent presence evident. He understood the threat she posed and the potential for further devastation. With a determined resolve, he raised his hand, his reality-warping abilities coming into play.
In an instant, Ryo manipulated the fabric of reality around Araki Yoko, freezing her in place. Her body was suspended in a surreal and unstable state between existence and non-existence. With his final action, Ryo decisively warped her half-body out of reality, resulting in an instantaneous and irreversible end to her existence. The battlefield fell into a heavy silence, the destruction halted, and the city was saved from further catastrophe. Ryo's intervention had been decisive, a testament to the power of the Knights of Hono and their unwavering commitment to protecting the world from formidable threats.
