"'A faint, almost dismissive voice came from behind. Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki turned around in alarm, but still couldn't find Kaoru's trace. Looking forward again, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki then realized Kaoru was already standing not far in front of him."
"At this moment, Kaoru floated in the air, channeling the power of the Judgment Angel. A mocking smile played on his lips, and his Mangekyō Sharingan eyes shone with an ineffable brilliance. He looked at Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki as if he were looking at a dead man."
"'Is this brat's speed really that fast? The voice came from behind, but he's already in front of me. My Byakugan can't track his movements at all…'"
"Seeing Kaoru appear, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, in order to turn the tide, decided to take the initiative. His entire body erupted with purple lightning, and he swung the giant axe in his hand with all his might towards Kaoru. However, this was futile. Kaoru once again disappeared from in front of him and reappeared to his side. To Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's astonishment, Kaoru kicked the red-glowing giant axe out of his hand, sending it flying into the endless snowfield."
"'It's useless. You'll never be able to pinpoint my location, even with your Byakugan…'"
"As the voice still lingered in the air, Kaoru's entire form turned into an afterimage. The Blade of the Gale in his hand danced wildly, instantly leaving a wound on Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's body!"
"Next, countless figures of Kaoru appeared and disappeared around Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki. Each time a figure appeared, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki would gain another sword wound. And all of this, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki could only watch helplessly. He could perceive thousands upon thousands of Kaoru's figures but couldn't pinpoint Kaoru's true location!"
"Blood splattered along with Kaoru's afterimages, and endless pain assailed Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki…"
"'Completely… outmatched…'"
"In just an instant, Kaoru reappeared beside Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki and lightly swung the Blade of the Gale, flicking the bloodstains off the blade before sheathing it. Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki stood rooted to the spot, covered in blood and panting heavily."
"In that brief moment, even Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki himself didn't know how many times his body had been cut. There wasn't a single intact piece of skin on him now; only countless wounds, making him bathe in his own blood."
"'Next up, Swordsman Mode…'"
"Kaoru once again pointed the tip of his sword downwards, assuming a fighting stance. A gentle breeze swirled around him, indicating that his next Steel-Cutting Flash would unleash a hurricane."
"'Steel-Cutting Flash: Cyclone Tempest!!!'"
"Kaoru swung his sword fiercely, and a hurricane instantly condensed and erupted from the tip of his blade. In an instant, this hurricane transformed into something akin to a massive natural disaster. Simultaneously, the hurricane continuously emitted countless red chakra flames, almost dyeing the entire snow-covered landscape with the glow of red chakra!"
"The entire space was filled with the roaring wind and scorching heat. Even the surrounding environment directly changed. The ice on the ground began to melt, and snow no longer fell from the sky. With Kaoru's strike, this place seemed to transform from a frozen landscape into a volcanic inferno!"
"'He actually changed the environment of the frozen space… This chakra…'"
"Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, already severely wounded, couldn't help but widen his Byakugan upon seeing this scene. He stared blankly as the entire space before him was filled with this hurricane storm. Kaoru, standing in the eye of the storm, appeared like a god capable of commanding nature, his single move exuding an immeasurable power, surging and vast like a mountain's roar and the sea's tide!"
"'I didn't expect that besides Lord Momoshiki… there would be someone else with such power…' Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's wide-open eyes couldn't hide his shock. His Byakugan clearly saw that the hurricane before him seemed to be draining all the air from this space, causing a suffocating sensation."
"'Damn it!!!' In the next moment, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki fiercely held his axe upright before his chest, hoping to block the immense storm. Because the flame storm was simply too vast, he had no choice but to endure it with his own body!"
...
Boom!!!
"For a moment, space-time seemed to stand still. Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki was engulfed by the storm, feeling as if the world before his eyes had changed color. All surrounding sights and sounds vanished, leaving only the storm and flames between heaven and earth…"
"Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki felt no pain, not even from his previous sword wounds. This was because every cell in his body had completely lost sensation, as if his soul had separated from his body, making him believe he had turned to dust within the storm…"
Bang!!!
"After being swept by the storm, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's massive, burly body crashed heavily into the ground. Almost completely unconscious, he lacked the strength to even open his eyes. He only felt as if all the bones in his body had turned to powder, unable to move even a single finger."
"You… are surprisingly resilient…"
A voice filled with a hint of admiration echoed. Kaoru floated in the air like a deity, his expression indifferent as he looked down at Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, who had been nearly killed by his strike and lay in a crevice in the earth.
"At this moment, although Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki had completely lost the strength to resist, he still had half a life left, merely clinging to existence…"
"'Alright, let me send you off on your final journey. With my Blade of the Gale, I shall hold this final funeral for you…'"
With a mix of sighing and teasing, Kaoru, floating in mid-air, curved his lips into a playful smile. He then landed slowly on the ground and walked towards where Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki lay…
Just as Kaoru was about to deliver the final blow to Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, the previously bright sky suddenly darkened.
"What is this…" Kaoru stopped abruptly and looked up at the sky. A giant, pitch-black sphere of chakra enveloped half the sky, descending towards him with immense power. This black sphere contained surging chakra, seeming capable of destroying heaven and earth!
"This… feels similar to a Tailed Beast Ball…"
Looking up at the giant black chakra sphere hurtling towards him, Kaoru twirled the Blade of the Gale in his hand, then slashed fiercely at the void before him!
"Wind Barrier!!!"
A visible whirlwind condensed above Kaoru, forming a transparent wall between Kaoru and the chakra sphere!
Boom!!!
Although the wind wall appeared quite small in front of the giant chakra sphere, when the sphere struck it, it had no power to resist. It bizarrely dispersed directly into specks of black starlight, scattering in all directions. This chakra sphere, which seemed to contain immense power, was thus blocked and dispersed by the seemingly thin wind wall…
"What is that wall? It actually blocked my attack…" A chilling voice rang out, and a figure descended from the sky, landing in front of Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki.
The newcomer had grayish-white hair, unusually pale skin, and pure white Byakugan eyes. He wore a light-colored kimono and a transparent veil over his head…
"Are you Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki…" Upon clearly seeing the newcomer, Kaoru's smile didn't fade. "How interesting. I defeat the junior, and the senior shows up…"
"How do you know who I am…" Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki completely ignored Kaoru's latter remark and asked Kaoru with a look of confusion.
He searched his memory, certain that he had never met this young man in his long existence.
"Guess…" Kaoru said calmly.
"It seems I'll have to cripple you and make you suffer before you'll talk…" Hearing Kaoru's words and his fearless expression, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's entire face instantly darkened.
"Ridiculous. The last person who said that to me…" Saying this, Kaoru gestured with his chin towards Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, who was still lying on the ground. "Your subordinate here, who said the same thing to me, is now half-dead…"
"Hmph…" Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki casually glanced at Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki behind him, his disdain growing even more pronounced.
"I… I'm sorry, Momoshiki-sama… I'm not his match…" At this moment, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki on the ground seemed to still have a breath of life left. He spoke with great difficulty to Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki standing before him.
