Oni's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with malevolence. He raised his swords, covering his eyes with the blades. For a moment, there was silence.
Then, with a swift movement, Oni removed the swords, revealing eyes that flashed with an eerie, blood-red light. Taro's voice rang out in warning.
"Guys, everyone! Attention! His real power is releasing! Everyone, be fast and don't distract! We need to take him down, now!"
The air erupted into chaos as Oni unleashed his true power. Akira and Akimitsu charged forward, their swords clashing with Oni's.
Akira's Koyo Ryu power surged through his veins, imbuing him with incredible strength. He swung his sword in wide arcs, striking Oni with powerful blows. But Oni was relentless, his martial arts skills allowing him to dodge and weave around Akira's attacks.
Meanwhile, Akimitsu clashed with Oni, their swords ringing out in a deadly dance. Akimitsu's Seiryū-Ryū energy infused his blade, making it shine with a fierce blue light. Oni's eyes widened in surprise as Akimitsu's sword sliced through his defenses, aiming straight for his heart.
But Oni was far from defeated. With a swift punch, he struck Akimitsu's chest, sending him stumbling backward. Akimitsu's shirt burned off, revealing his chiseled six-pack abs and powerful muscles.
Akimitsu gasped for breath, his eyes blazing with determination. He raised his sword, and with a fierce battle cry, he unleashed the devastating power of the Seiryū-Ryū:
"_Kokū no Kōjin_" (Heavenly Fury of the Blue Dragon)!
A blast of blue energy shot out from Akimitsu's sword, striking Oni with incredible force. The ground shook beneath their feet as the two warriors clashed in a frenzy of steel and energy.
Oni stumbled backward, his eyes widening in surprise. But he refused to yield. With a snarl, he launched himself at Akimitsu, their swords clashing in a deadly dance.
Akira joined the fray, his Koyo Ryu power surging through his veins. The three warriors fought on, their movements a blur as they exchanged blows.
The battle raged on, the outcome hanging in the balance. Would Akira and Akimitsu emerge victorious, or would Oni's true power prove too much for them?
Just as Oni seemed to gain the upper hand, Lila, one of Akira's team members, jumped onto Oni's back, her sword flashing in the dim light. She aimed a deadly stab at Oni's neck, but he was too quick.
With a swift movement, Oni dodged the attack and caught Lila's sword in mid-air. His hand closed around the blade, and with a sickening crunch, he broke the sword in two.
Lila's eyes widened in horror as Oni took the broken blade and stabbed her in the stomach. She cried out in agony, her body crumpling to the ground as she lost consciousness.
Taro's eyes blazed with fury as he saw Lila fall. With a fierce battle cry, he launched himself into the air, his body spinning 360 degrees as he delivered a devastating kick to Oni's chest.
Oni stumbled backward, his eyes widening in surprise. But he refused to yield. With a snarl, he launched himself at Taro, their bodies clashing in mid-air.
Oni's smile twisted into a macabre grin, his eyes gleaming with malevolence. He took a deliberate step forward, his movements eerily fluid. Before anyone could react, Oni vanished in a blur of speed, reappearing in front of Akira. His fist connected with Akira's jaw, sending him stumbling backward.
But before Oni could deliver the finishing blow, Akimitsu intervened, his sword flashing in the dim light. "Oni, you're not taking another step closer to Akira!" Akimitsu declared, his voice firm and commanding.
Oni sneered at Akimitsu, but the latter stood his ground, undaunted. "Akira, go!" Akimitsu shouted, his eyes locked on Oni. "Search for Rina and he others! We'll handle Oni here!"
Akira hesitated for a moment, his eyes fixed on Oni's twisted grin. But Akimitsu's words snapped him back to reality. With a resolute nod, Akira turned and sprinted away, vanishing into the darkness.
Oni's laughter echoed through the battlefield, sending shivers down Akimitsu's spine. "Fools!" Oni spat. "You think you can stop me? I am the greatest warrior the world has ever known!"
Akimitsu smiled grimly, his Seiryū-Ryū energy swirling around him. "We'll see about that, Oni. You may have skill, but I have the power of the Seiryū-Ryū!"
With a simultaneous battle cry, Akimitsu and Oni charged at each other, their blades clashing in a deadly dance. The air erupted in a maelstrom of clashing steel, flying fists, and swirling energy.
As the battle raged on, Kaito fought to take down the remaining elite soldiers.
Lila, still unconscious, lay on the ground, her body battered and bruised ,meanwhile,Mei and Taro trying to heal her with their healing techniques .
"Hold on, Lila!" Mei whispered, her voice urgent. "I've got you! You're going to be okay!"
But as Mei tended to Lila's wounds, Oni's laughter echoed through the battlefield, sending shivers down their spines.
The outcome of the battle hung in the balance, as Akimitsu, Kaito, and Mei fought to take down Oni and his elite soldiers.
