Chapter 127 - CHAPTER 126: Yamanashi Showdown, Part 8

As Enishi advanced towards Kaito, his movements were deliberate and unhurried, exuding an air of unyielding confidence that bordered on arrogance. Despite the looming threat of Kaito's blood whip, Enishi remained resolute in his belief of his own invincibility, his thoughts consumed by the certainty of his superiority.

"This should not do any damage to me, considering how inferior he is to me," Enishi reflected inwardly, his demeanor unwavering in the face of Kaito's desperate attempt at resistance. With each measured step, he closed the distance between them, his gaze fixed upon his target with unwavering focus.

Unbeknownst to Enishi, however, Raiden had been silently preparing his own gambit from behind, his mind alight with the crackling energy of the storm. With a muttered incantation, Raiden unleashed his most devastating technique yet: "Voltic Cataclysm."

As tendrils of seething lightning converged around Enishi, the very fabric of reality seemed to tremble in anticipation of the impending onslaught. With a deafening roar, the maelstrom of electrifying chaos erupted into being, tearing through space and time with a force that reverberated across the cosmos.

The area where Enishi had stood was engulfed in a tempest of raw power, its destructive force threatening to consume everything in its path. Yet, as the dust settled and the echoes of Raiden's cataclysmic assault faded into the ether, Enishi emerged unscathed from the chaos.

A radiant aura of dark Enes enveloped him, a testament to his resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity. With a triumphant smirk, Enishi acknowledged Raiden's formidable display, his voice tinged with a hint of amusement as he addressed the Emperor of Lightning.

"That was a good blow, Emperor of Lightning," Enishi remarked, his tone laced with a grudging respect for his adversary's tenacity. Yet, even as he spoke, Enishi's mind raced with calculations and contingencies, his thoughts consumed by the prospect of the battle yet to come.

Meanwhile, Raiden observed Enishi's emergence with a mixture of awe and frustration, his mind grappling with the realization that his most potent attack had failed to achieve its intended purpose. "I ended up using that attack... But he's still not dead," Raiden mused, his thoughts clouded by the daunting prospect of facing an opponent whose strength seemed boundless.

As Enishi casually healed the minor wounds that marred his flawless form, the battlefield crackled with an electric intensity, each combatant poised on the brink of destiny.

Enishi's revelation sent shockwaves through the battlefield, his admission of vulnerability serving as a stark reminder of the cunning tactics employed by his adversaries. As he spoke, the gravity of the situation dawned upon Raiden, his expression darkening with the weight of their collective efforts.

"Right at the moment of impact, everyone who was capable of using Chaos Enes attempted to drag my power down, hoping that it would make me lose," Enishi explained, his voice carrying an air of reluctant admiration for their ingenuity. Despite his unparalleled strength, even Enishi had been caught off-guard by the coordinated assault, his instincts warning him of the danger too late to forestall its effects.

"My power had been reduced to about 1,000%... I allowed it to reduce me that much," Enishi continued, his words laced with a mixture of bemusement and respect for their audacity. The revelation underscored the lengths to which his foes were willing to go in their quest for victory, their willingness to exploit any weakness or vulnerability to achieve their goals.

Raiden's response was terse and to the point, a single expletive expressing his frustration at the turn of events. His carefully laid plans had been upended by Enishi's resilience, leaving him grappling with the realization that victory might be further out of reach than he had dared to hope.

Meanwhile, Kaito seized the opportunity to strike, his blood whip lashing out with deadly precision in an attempt to exploit Enishi's momentary distraction. Yet, even as the whip sliced through the air with lethal intent, Enishi effortlessly evaded the attack, his movements fluid and graceful as he danced out of harm's way.

"It was fun enduring that attack, Emperor of Lightning," Enishi remarked, his gaze unwavering as he locked eyes with Raiden. The thinly veiled challenge in his words spoke volumes, a silent acknowledgment of the mutual respect that existed between them despite the animosity of their conflict.

As Kaito regrouped, his mind raced with possibilities, each scenario playing out in his head as he sought a way to turn the tide of battle in their favor. With a steely resolve, he focused his thoughts on the formidable task ahead, his determination unyielding in the face of overwhelming odds.

Enishi's maniacal laughter echoed across the battlefield, sending shivers down the spines of all who bore witness to his ominous proclamation. As his voice reverberated through the air, a sense of dread settled over the combatants, each one bracing themselves for the impending onslaught.

"EVERYONE WITHIN A RADIUS OF A KILOMETRE... PREPARE YOURSELVES!" Enishi's voice boomed with authority, commanding the attention of friend and foe alike. And then, in a flash of blinding light, a massive asteroid materialized in the sky, its immense size and ominous presence casting a shadow over the battlefield below.

Raiden watched in disbelief as the asteroid descended from the heavens, its sheer size dwarfing everything in its path. Yet, as awe-inspiring as its dimensions were, Raiden sensed that there was more to this celestial threat than met the eye.

"This attack... It's not just an asteroid!" Raiden's mind raced with possibilities as he analyzed the situation, his keen intellect working overtime to unravel the mystery of Enishi's plan. And as he scrutinized the surface of the asteroid, he noticed something peculiar—small particles scattered across its surface, each one pulsating with latent energy.

"There's even some small particles on the surface that act as defensive measures against attacks..." Raiden muttered to himself, his brow furrowing with concern. The implications of Enishi's scheme were becoming clearer by the moment, and Raiden knew that they were facing a threat unlike any they had encountered before.

"Just what is he doing? This attack..." Raiden's thoughts trailed off as he grappled with the enormity of the situation.
