"You think that kind of trick can really trap me?" Ryuji said lightly.
Hearing this, Kokushibo didn't refute, and defaulted to Ryuji's words. Ryuji couldn't be treated with common sense.
However, Kokushibo wasn't as afraid of Ryuji as he was before, because Kokushibo had overcome decapitation now, so he didn't have to worry about Ryuji killing him through decapitation.
In other words, even if Kokushibo couldn't beat Ryuji, he now had the ability to hold Ryuji back.
Although Kokushibo learned from Doma, who had died, through the demon's information sharing, that Ryuji still had a method similar to sunlight to exterminate them.
This was the last information that Doma reported before his death. So Kokushibo knew that Ryuji still had a way to kill him.
Therefore, Kokushibo didn't take the initiative to attack. Instead, he chose to hold Ryuji back like this.
[New task released]
[Task: Kill Kokushibo]
[Task completion reward: Obtain Earth Breathing (Final Secret)]
[Task failure penalty: None]
At this time, the broadcast of the Super-Dimensional Transversal System rang in Ryuji's mind. When he obtained this task, Ryuji was already sure that the system intended to let him master the five elements of breathing: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Although Flame Breathing wasn't called Fire Breathing, its essence was fire attribute, so Ryuji felt that this was just a naming issue.
However, Ryuji didn't activate demonification immediately after receiving the task to deal with Kokushibo, because Ryuji was also clear that Kokushibo must be fighting with the principle of holding him back. Demonification wasn't suitable for fighting a war of attrition. If the demon power was used up, the situation would be very bad. Although the berserk Ryuji could definitely kill Kokushibo, now wasn't the time to go berserk.
"Flame Breathing, Ninth Form: Rengoku!"
Ryuji didn't drag on, and directly took the initiative to attack, launching Rengoku to approach Kokushibo.
"Moon Breathing, Fourth Form: Moon Dragon Ringtail!"
Kokushibo didn't slack off in the slightest. Seeing Ryuji taking the initiative to attack, he immediately launched a move to parry.
Facing the incoming Ryuji, Kokushibo chose to use Moon Shadow Flash, a move that was also a blitz, to deal with it.
Instantly, at the moment when Ryuji and Kokushibo intersected, dazzling sparks splashed out. Then the figures of the two exchanged positions.
Ryuji, who was standing, still had flames burning all over his body. Similarly, Kokushibo also had flames burning on his body. The flames on Kokushibo's body were led over by Ryuji, and were harmful to Kokushibo.
At the same time, the surrounding temperature also became extremely hot because of Ryuji's moves.
Kokushibo immediately twisted his body and turned around, and temporarily isolated the air around him by waving the demon sword in his hand. Without oxygen, the flames on Kokushibo's body quickly went out.
However, Ryuji's flame burns had caused relatively serious burns to Kokushibo in a very short time.
Although Kokushibo extinguished the flames, he already had very serious burns on his body.
In the collision just now, neither Ryuji nor Kokushibo's attacks directly touched each other, but because Ryuji took advantage of the move, he still caused a certain degree of damage to Kokushibo.
"You're proficient in more than one Breathing Technique. Seriously, you may be an even more talented existence than my younger brother!" Kokushibo murmured, praising Ryuji.
