Chapter 122 - Chapter 121: Yamanashi Showdown, Part 3

As Kaito surged forward with unbridled determination, Enishi's expression remained unchanged, his stoic demeanor a testament to his unwavering confidence. "What an annoying kid you are," Enishi remarked, his voice laced with thinly veiled contempt as he braced himself for Kaito's assault.

With a primal roar, Kaito unleashed a flurry of blows upon Enishi, his fists a blur of motion as he sought to break through his adversary's defenses. Enishi blocked each strike with ease, his two lower arms acting as an impenetrable barrier against Kaito's relentless onslaught.

Yet, despite Enishi's outward calm, a flicker of uncertainty gnawed at the edges of his consciousness. He knew that Kaito's attacks were growing more powerful with each passing moment, fueled by the collective energy of his allies channeling Life Enes to bolster his strength.

Still, Enishi remained resolute in his belief that no amount of augmentation could ever hope to breach his defenses. With a steely gaze, he prepared to unleash a devastating counterattack, his muscles tensing in anticipation of the impending clash.

But before Enishi could strike, a sudden and deafening roar split the air, reverberating through the battlefield with overwhelming force. "THUNDEROUS JUDGEMENT!" the voice boomed, echoing like a clarion call as the sky above them erupted into a kaleidoscope of purple and pink hues.

Enishi's eyes widened in surprise as he beheld the figure of Raiden descending from the heavens, his presence a harbinger of unparalleled destruction. "Now... What are you?" Enishi muttered, his smirk widening into a grin of anticipation as he faced down this new and formidable opponent.

A ring of crackling lightning formed around Enishi, encircling him with a pulsating aura of raw power. Countless lightnings rained down upon him with unrelenting fury, each strike carrying the force of a hundred quadrillion volts.

Yet, despite the overwhelming onslaught, Enishi remained steadfast, his resolve unyielding in the face of the storm. He stood unmoved amidst the chaos, his form bathed in the brilliant glow of crackling energy as he weathered the assault with unwavering determination.

With each passing moment, Enishi's confidence grew, his belief in his own invincibility reaffirmed by the futile efforts of his adversaries to break his indomitable spirit. And as the lightning continued to rain down upon him, he stood as a bastion of defiance against the forces that sought to challenge his supremacy.

Enishi's smirk remained firmly in place as Raiden's assault continued unabated, the relentless barrage of lightning failing to so much as singe a hair on his head. "Is this all you have to offer?" Enishi taunted, his voice dripping with disdain as he regarded his adversary with cool indifference.

Raiden's response was a smirk of his own, a glint of amusement dancing in his eyes as he faced down the indomitable force before him. "Not quite... But, fighting against the strongest is always a good way of experimenting, at least for me," Raiden replied, his tone tinged with a hint of mischief as he relished the challenge that lay before him.

Enishi's lips curled into a wry smile at Raiden's words, a begrudging respect shining through his otherwise stoic facade. "What a way of thinking," he remarked, his voice laced with a note of grudging admiration as he acknowledged Raiden's unique perspective on combat.

As the onslaught of lightning continued unabated, Enishi found himself marveling at Raiden's resilience, his Enes reserves seemingly boundless as he unleashed wave after wave of devastating attacks. "Your Enes reserves must be good, your output is also very good... Though, nowhere near my level," Enishi remarked, his tone casual as he assessed his opponent's abilities with a critical eye.

But Raiden's response was swift and cutting, a warning against complacency in the face of his formidable power. "Don't get too cocky," Raiden cautioned, his voice carrying a note of warning as he urged Enishi to remain vigilant against the ever-present threat of defeat.

Meanwhile, amidst the chaos of the battlefield, Kaito seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Enishi, his movements swift and precise as he sought to catch his adversary off guard. But Enishi was not so easily caught off balance, his instincts honed by years of combat experience as he effortlessly evaded Kaito's blow.

With a deft sidestep, Enishi avoided Kaito's attack and delivered a punishing kick to his opponent's face, sending him hurtling out of the circle of lightning that surrounded them. Kaito's body tumbled through the air, his form battered and bruised from the force of Enishi's counterattack.

Enishi's challenge hung in the air like a gauntlet thrown down, his eyes ablaze with a fierce determination as he beckoned Raiden to face him head-on. With a nod of acknowledgment, Raiden ceased his assault and descended from the sky, his gaze meeting Enishi's with unwavering resolve.

As Raiden stood before him, Enishi wasted no time in assessing his adversary's strength, his keen eyes scanning Raiden's form for any sign of weakness. "You're not half bad," Enishi conceded, his tone tinged with begrudging respect as he acknowledged Raiden's skill in combat. "But, you need to attack me with more powerful attacks if you want to actually cause the slightest bit of damage."

Raiden's response was a smirk of amusement, his confidence unshaken by Enishi's taunts. "Cocky, aren't you?" Raiden remarked, his voice laced with a hint of amusement as he regarded his opponent with a knowing smile.

"I am rightfully confident," Enishi replied, his voice steady and unwavering as he met Raiden's gaze with unyielding resolve. He knew the extent of his own power, and he had no doubt in his ability to emerge victorious against any opponent who dared to challenge him.

Raiden's smirk widened into a grin as he accepted Enishi's challenge, his eyes alight with the thrill of battle. "I'll strip the title of the strongest from you," Raiden declared, his words carrying the weight of his unwavering determination.

"We shall see," Enishi replied, his tone calm and composed as he prepared to face Raiden in combat. With a nod of agreement, Raiden signaled his readiness to engage, his stance shifting into one of focused readiness as he prepared to unleash his full strength against his formidable adversary.
