Chapter 124 - CHAPTER 123: Yamanashi Showdown, Part 5

Raiden's fist connected with Enishi's face with a satisfying thud, the force of the impact reverberating through the clearing. Enishi's head snapped back slightly from the blow, a small trickle of spit escaping his lips as he absorbed the strike.

"Heh, not bad," Enishi remarked, his voice tinged with amusement as he wiped the spit from his mouth with the back of his hand. Despite the force of Raiden's attack, Enishi showed no sign of injury, his resilience a testament to his formidable strength and endurance.

However, before Raiden could capitalize on his successful strike, Enishi's two lower arms lashed out with ridiculous speed, landing jabs on Raiden's stomach. Raiden winced slightly from the blows but remained undeterred, his focus unwavering as he prepared to launch another attack.

Undeterred by Enishi's counterattack, Raiden attempted to land another straight punch on Enishi's face, his movements swift and precise as he sought to exploit any openings in his opponent's defenses. But before his fist could make contact, Enishi intercepted the blow with his upper right arm, blocking Raiden's attack with ease.

Raiden's frustration mounted as his attack was thwarted once again, his mind racing as he searched for a way to gain the upper hand in their battle. With a swift dash backwards, Raiden created distance between himself and Enishi, his thoughts swirling with a mixture of determination and exhilaration.

As he surveyed the scene before him, Raiden couldn't help but marvel at the intensity of their confrontation. Despite the danger and uncertainty of their situation, a thrill coursed through him, adrenaline pumping through his veins as he reveled in the heat of battle.

"I'm having fun... Why is this so fun?" Raiden mused to himself, a grin spreading across his face as he relished the challenge of facing off against an opponent as formidable as Enishi. The rush of adrenaline fueled his determination, driving him to push himself even further in pursuit of victory.

Meanwhile, Enishi smiled at Raiden's resilience, his eyes alight with anticipation as he awaited his opponent's next move. "Will you finally scale the fight up? Even if it's a little bit," Enishi taunted, his voice laced with a hint of challenge as he urged Raiden to unleash his full potential. "I'm tired of fighting this lowly," he added, his words a challenge to Raiden to elevate their battle to greater heights.

Enishi's charge towards Raiden left the air crackling with anticipation, the sheer speed of his movement a testament to his overwhelming power. Raiden, however, remained composed, his keen eyes tracking Enishi's every move as he prepared to face the oncoming assault.

As Enishi closed the distance between them with ridiculous speed, Raiden dashed backwards with effortless grace, his movements fluid and precise as he effortlessly evaded Enishi's initial onslaught. "Only that much speed won't be enough to reach me," Raiden remarked confidently, his voice steady despite the intensity of their exchange.

Undeterred by Raiden's taunt, Enishi continued his advance, his mind racing as he analyzed Raiden's movements with a keen sense of focus. With a sudden burst of acceleration, Enishi closed the gap between them in the blink of an eye, his determination unwavering as he prepared to unleash his next attack.

"Just now, you dashed at the speed of 1.07925284794E+25 km/h," Enishi stated matter-of-factly, his voice carrying a note of calculation as he relayed the precise speed of Raiden's movement. With his analysis complete, Enishi adjusted his own speed accordingly, matching Raiden's pace with effortless precision.

As Enishi bore down on Raiden with unparalleled speed, Raiden's expression shifted, a hint of surprise flickering across his features as he braced himself for the impending impact. Enishi's lower left arm surged forward in a powerful body uppercut, while his upper left arm followed with a swift straight punch aimed directly at Raiden's face.

The blows landed with resounding force, sending Raiden staggering backward as Enishi's assault struck home. Raiden's body convulsed with the impact, blood spurting from his mouth as he fought to maintain his balance against the onslaught.

Despite the intensity of the blow, Raiden refused to falter, his determination unyielding as he struggled to regain his footing amidst the chaos of their clash. With a defiant gesture, he raised his right arm in a signal, a silent command that left Enishi momentarily perplexed.

Enishi's confusion was evident as he paused, his gaze fixed on Raiden as he sought to decipher the meaning behind his opponent's gesture. In that fleeting moment of uncertainty, Raiden seized the opportunity to gather his strength, his resolve steeling as he prepared to face Enishi head-on once more.

As Kaito stealthily approached Enishi and Raiden, his heart pounded with anticipation, his mind focused on the task at hand. With each step, he drew closer to his target, his movements swift and deliberate as he prepared to unleash his newfound technique upon them.

Drawing upon the knowledge he had acquired through his own solitary efforts, Kaito tapped into the power of his Enes, channeling it with precision as he activated his unique ability: blood absorption. With a swift motion, he directed the technique towards the blood that Raiden had spat upon the ground, his senses keen as he absorbed its potent energy to fortify his own strength.

Enishi's sharp intuition immediately detected Kaito's actions, his gaze narrowing as he turned to confront the interloper who dared to challenge him. With a sense of annoyance gnawing at him, Enishi watched as Kaito swiftly retreated, his movements quick and agile as he evaded Enishi's scrutiny.

Unfazed by Enishi's reaction, Kaito remained focused on his objective, his mind racing with newfound determination as he formulated his next course of action. "Whenever blood falls on the ground, I'll go and suck it up with my technique to strengthen up," Kaito resolved, his determination unwavering as he embraced the full potential of his ability.

Meanwhile, Raiden, his torso leaning towards the ground in a stance of readiness, smirked with quiet confidence as he prepared to face Enishi head-on. With a steely resolve in his eyes, he met Enishi's gaze with unwavering determination, his body poised for action as he awaited the decisive moment.

"We'll be taking you down," Raiden declared, his voice ringing out with conviction as he laid bare his intent to challenge Enishi's dominance. With his body aligned in a straight line, he exuded an aura of formidable power, his every movement calculated and deliberate as he prepared to engage in battle.
