Chapter 125 - CHAPTER 124: Yamanashi Showdown, Part 6

As the other practitioners looked on, their anticipation mounting with each passing moment, they refrained from intervening, respecting Kaito and Raiden's wishes to face Enishi alone. With all eyes fixed on the unfolding confrontation, Kaito emerged as the focal point of their attention, his role as Altharion's vessel imbuing him with a sense of significance that resonated throughout the battlefield.

Boosted by the combined power of thousands of practitioners using Life Enes to enhance his abilities, Kaito stood as a formidable force to be reckoned with, his techniques empowering him to new heights of strength and resilience. As he faced off against Enishi, his determination burned bright, fueled by the unwavering support of his allies and the weight of his destiny as Altharion's chosen vessel.

Meanwhile, Enishi contemplated his next move with calculated precision, his mind racing with strategies and tactics to overcome his adversaries. Pondering the possibility of exploiting Raiden's reliance on his Enes reserves, Enishi considered the prospect of incapacitating him by severing his limbs and forcing him to regenerate until his energy stores were depleted. However, a nagging doubt crept into his mind as he sensed Raiden's formidable Enes reserves, casting uncertainty upon his plans.

Across the battlefield, Raiden's thoughts mirrored Enishi's, his keen intuition guiding him as he assessed the situation. Recognizing Enishi's overwhelming advantage in Enes reserves, Raiden remained undaunted, confident in his own abilities to endure and outlast his opponent. With a steely resolve, he launched himself towards Enishi, his movements swift and decisive as he sought to test the limits of his adversary's endurance.

Enishi, ever vigilant, intercepted Raiden's attack with ease, his upper right arm serving as an impenetrable barrier against Raiden's assault. With each clash of their forces, the tension between them mounted, the air crackling with the intensity of their confrontation. As they danced on the edge of battle, the outcome hung in the balance, their fates intertwined in a struggle for supremacy that would shape the course of their destiny.

Enishi's voice cut through the tension like a blade as he declared, "I've grown tired of you. I wanted to play with you until I got bored... And I'm now bored." Raiden, sensing the imminent danger, swiftly dashed away, his movements fueled by adrenaline and the desperate desire to evade Enishi's lethal strikes. Yet, even as he attempted to outmaneuver his opponent, Enishi's swift and precise slashes tore through the air, converging on Raiden with relentless ferocity.

With a deft flick of his wrist, Enishi unleashed a barrage of vertical and horizontal slashes, each one aimed with deadly accuracy at Raiden's vulnerable form. The slashes sliced through the air, their razor-sharp edges cutting through Raiden's flesh like butter, severing his arms and reducing them to nothingness in a flurry of crimson.

Raiden, undeterred by the loss of his limbs, summoned his Life Enes with unwavering resolve, channeling their healing power to regenerate his arms in a dazzling display of resilience. The wounds closed before Enishi's eyes, the flesh knitting together seamlessly as Raiden defied the limits of his mortality with sheer determination.

Meanwhile, Kaito, ever vigilant, seized the opportunity presented by the blood spilled on the ground, utilizing his Blood Absorption technique to fortify his own power. As the crimson fluid flowed into him, Kaito felt a surge of strength coursing through his veins, fueling his resolve to stand against Enishi's overwhelming might.

Enishi, his expression betraying none of the boredom he professed, watched the scene unfold with a sense of detached amusement. Despite the display of resilience from his opponents, he remained steadfast in his conviction of superiority, his confidence unshaken by their futile attempts to defy him.

Internally, Enishi weighed his options with calculated precision, considering the most efficient course of action to ensure his victory. With Raiden's arms restored and Kaito bolstered by his newfound strength, Enishi resolved to dispatch Raiden swiftly before turning his attention to Kaito.

Raiden's voice echoed with determination as he declared, "I'm not going to die to you. Especially not until I've gone all out." His words hung in the air, charged with an unyielding resolve that belied the severity of their situation. Enishi's response was swift and decisive, as he unleashed a single vertical slash towards Raiden, the sheer force of his attack cutting through the air with lethal precision. Raiden's instincts kicked in, his body moving with ridiculous speed as he evaded the deadly strike, his movements a testament to his skill and agility on the battlefield.

As Raiden dodged the attack, he turned to face Enishi, his expression steely and unwavering. "Was that a warning?" he asked, his voice calm and composed despite the intensity of their confrontation. Enishi's response was equally measured, his tone laced with a hint of impatience as he issued his ultimatum. "I'll give you one last chance to at least impress me. You better not continue doing that terrible performance," he stated, his words carrying the weight of expectation as he awaited Raiden's next move.

Raiden's demeanor shifted, his features hardening into a mask of determination as he prepared to unleash his full power against his formidable adversary. "Prepare yourself, then," he replied, his voice carrying a quiet resolve as he braced himself for the coming clash. Behind him, Kaito stood ready, his presence a silent reminder of their shared purpose and unwavering commitment to their cause.

Kaito's thoughts raced as he watched Raiden square off against Enishi, his mind calculating the myriad possibilities that lay ahead. "I can be Raiden's backup... And even if he loses, we still have many other backup plans," he mused, his gaze flickering briefly to the battlefield where the fate of their world hung in the balance. Despite the gravity of their situation, Kaito remained steadfast in his resolve, determined to support Raiden however he could.

Meanwhile, Enishi observed the unfolding confrontation with a sense of detached amusement, his confidence unwavering in the face of his opponents' determination. "This is going to be a waste of time," he thought to himself, his expression betraying none of the boredom he felt at the prospect of facing off against Raiden once more.
