The clash reached a zenith as Enishi, a force wrapped in enigma, materialized before Altharion with a fluid grace that defied the conventional constraints of space and time. In an instant, the ethereal dance resumed, and Enishi, embodying the essence of unfathomable strength, unleashed a rapid barrage of blows upon Altharion.
A double right hook, delivered with precision and finesse, struck Altharion's body. The impact reverberated through the battlefield, a testament to the formidable force that Enishi wielded. Before Altharion could be propelled away by the onslaught, Enishi, with a swift and calculated movement, seized him by the neck with his left lower arm.
The celestial choreography continued as Enishi, with the fluidity of a cosmic dancer, unleashed a straight punch to Altharion's face using his upper left arm. The force of the blow sent Altharion hurtling toward the ground, the celestial dust of their clash swirling in the aftermath.
As Altharion, resilient amid the cosmic tempest, rose from the debris, thoughts swirled within the recesses of his consciousness. The question of retreat lingered, a dilemma that echoed the complexity of their enigmatic confrontation. "Should I retreat...?" Altharion pondered, a silent dialogue with the cosmic forces that intertwined fate and destiny. The echoes of Kaito's control reverberated within his cosmic being, a plea for empowerment in the face of an insurmountable adversary.
Enishi, a cosmic observer to Altharion's internal deliberations, fixed his gaze upon the celestial warrior. "What are you doing?" he queried, a rhetorical challenge that transcended mere words. Altharion, grasping the celestial forces at his disposal, invoked the Life Enes—an ethereal mending of wounds and a testament to the cosmic resilience that defined his essence.
Shibuya, now imbued with the energy of rejuvenation, set the stage for the next celestial exchange. Enishi, the cosmic enigma, and Altharion stood at the precipice of destiny, their fates entwined in the cosmic tapestry that unfolded with each ethereal movement.
Enishi's contemplations echoed within the vast expanse of his consciousness, a silent dialogue with the cosmic forces that governed his enigmatic existence. Amidst the clash, he marveled at Altharion's unwavering resilience, an observation that transcended the boundaries of their ethereal confrontation.
"Regardless of how many times he gets beaten up, he continues fighting," Enishi mused, his thoughts traversing the intricate threads of destiny that interwove their fates. A fleeting pause punctuated his inner reflections, a momentary stillness that belied the cosmic tempest that enveloped them.
"He and Kaito co-exist in the same body without any negative effects," Enishi continued, his musings delving into the intricate dance between the dual entities that inhabited Altharion's vessel. The coexistence of Altharion and Kaito, a symbiotic relationship unmarred by discord, intrigued Enishi as he sought to unravel the other-worldly enigma before him.
"Altharion is not the same as back then, from the Heian Era. He has changed, I am sure of it," Enishi pondered, acknowledging the evolution that marked the passage of eons. The cosmic currents of transformation had sculpted Altharion into a being distinct from the echoes of history, a realization that stirred both fascination and, dare he admit, a tinge of disappointment.
"Disappointing. He hasn't grown any more powerful," Enishi lamented, his expectations eclipsed by the reality of Altharion's perceived limitations. The barrier, a mitigating force that tempered the other-worldly energies at play, served as both a protective shroud and a constraint on Altharion's unleashed potential.
As the echoes of his inner reflections reverberated within Shibuya, Enishi abruptly abandoned his soliloquy, transitioning from silent contemplation to vocal proclamation. "Whatever, I will toy with you regardless," he declared, the resonance of his words cutting through Shibuya.
Altharion, momentarily taken aback by Enishi's audible declaration, swiftly regathered his l composure. Sensing an opportunity, he dashed backward, his movements a testament to the strategic dance that unfolded on the battlefield. His objective: to approach the barrier and assess the feasibility of escape without resorting to the Void Enes.
Enishi's declaration, uttered with a resolute certainty, hung in the air like an ethereal proclamation echoing through the aftermath of their other-worldly clash. "I will break you and your beliefs," he asserted, his words resonating with the weight of determination. The celestial tapestry of Shibuya, once guarded by the barrier, now bore witness to the aftermath of their confrontation.
Altharion, weary yet undeterred, responded with a measured sigh, a gesture that carried the weight of countless battles and the echoes of past struggles. "Next time we meet, I... Or Kaito, will defeat you," he declared, the choice of pronouns reflecting the duality that defined his existence. With a seamless transition, Altharion invoked the elusive Void Enes, vanishing from Shibuya, leaving behind a lingering trail of cosmic energy that whispered of transcendence.
Enishi, left alone amidst the remnants of their clash, reciprocated the sigh, a nuanced acknowledgment of the intricate dance they shared. Dismantling the barrier that had shielded Shibuya, he set forth towards Shinagawa, a realm marked by the convergence of destiny and the unfolding machinations of Haruka's intricate plan.
In Shinagawa, the meeting of Enishi, Haruka, and Ayame heralded a moment of cosmic significance. Haruka, the orchestrator of intricate schemes, revealed the aftermath of their orchestrated chaos. "Every benevolent practitioner has withdrawn from Tokyo, and so have the people," Haruka informed, his words carrying the resonance of a carefully woven plot.
Enishi, displaying a blend of weariness and stoicism, sought confirmation of the plan's progress. "The first step of your plan has succeeded, hasn't it?" he inquired, his gaze penetrating the cosmic veil that shrouded the unfolding events. Haruka, however, unveiled the complexity underlying their actions, emphasizing that the chaos in Tokyo was not merely a prelude but an integral part of their multifaceted strategy.
"No, not yet. Causing chaos wasn't the first step; it was part of it," Haruka elucidated, unravelling the layers of his enigmatic plan. Enishi, resigned to the intricacies that bound their fates, sighed once more, encapsulating the paradox of their collaboration.
"Whatever..." Enishi's response, laden with a cosmic nonchalance, marked a tacit acceptance of the unfolding symphony.
