Chapter 69 The Rampaging Kisuke Part 2
“Did she just drop five gigantic pillars on Kisuke? Is she trying to turn him into paste?” Aika is gobsmacked at the turn of events. She is worried that Kisuke was killed with that move just now.
“Kisuke-senpai is very sturdy. I think she’s just trying to stop him from moving.” Koneko saw through Yoruichi’s intention but she’s still pretty worried about her senpai that hasn’t move for a while now.
Both of them are very nervous at Kisuke’s situation and wants to approach the barrier as there are no movements from both Yoruichi and Kisuke. But as they are about to leave their position, Yoruichi suddenly kicked the ground and jumped back to gain some distance from Kisuke. Aika and Koneko were confused at Yoruichi’s reaction but chose to stay silent and watch unmoving.
After a few seconds since Yoruichi moved back, the five giant pillars that are pinning Kisuke to the ground suddenly started shaking. The first few seconds were just minute movements but after a minute or two, the pillars started to crack and shake more fiercely. Soon after the pillars were sent upwards with Kisuke’s roar disintegrating it in the process.
“Tch.” Yoruichi clicked her tongue, but she already expected this to happen, though not as fast, ‘I knew that my Kidou won’t seal him for long, but this is still too short. Sealing isn’t easy for me without my artifacts from my Clan. I would just be wasting my Reiatsu if I repeatedly do that and he kept getting stronger as time passes by. Is the fusion of Ki and Reiryoku still ongoing and strengthening him? I guess I can only trade blows with him.”
Kisuke’s appearance is already mostly covered by the white matter which doubled his size and made him look like a bodybuilder. A lizard-like tail appeared behind him along with spikes protruding from various parts of his body. Dark green tattoos also started appearing all over his body originating from the hole in his chest. His overall appearance would instantly think that he’s a monster that came out of a fantasy book. The only way to distinguish him is his light blonde hair and his usual attire that is already mostly destroyed.
Aika and Koneko felt scared at Kisuke’s appearance. Although his physical appearance isn’t the stuff of the nightmares, the very aura he is exuding right now terrifying, especially to Aika who isn’t used to these things. She already sat down, trembling and couldn’t speak. Koneko is faring better, but she also couldn’t move from her place.
Koneko bit her lips and trail of blood flow down from her mouth, but she was able to regain her composure, even if it’s just a little bit. She clutches her pendant and went behind Aika who is about to lose her consciousness injecting a bit of her Ki to calm Aika. Although it isn’t as effective Kisuke spell, it still very much needed for Aika’s current state.
Aika looked behind her having calmed down a bit and saw Koneko’s determined expression and the trail of blood from biting her lips. Aika woke up from that sight, ‘This isn’t good.’ Inside Aika’s inner world, the black-spotted egg suddenly rotated rapidly giving off strange energy that helped to calm Aika’s mind further.
Aika thought that it was just Koneko’s Ki that helped her calmed down, “Thank you.” She stood up and dusted herself, putting her hand on the pendant after she’s done, “Is that Kisuke? Is he going to be alright?”
Koneko returned her attention to the two figures that started to trade blows shaking the barrier along with the whole training ground. This is the first time she saw Yoruichi wore a very serious expression and knew that Kisuke isn’t in a good position, “I don’t know, but Yoruichi will do something about it as it looks like this isn’t the first time she saw something like this.”
“Are they really the same age as us? How can Yoruichi-san take that aura coming from Kisuke in a stride? I don’t know how it feels when you’re in frontlines of a bloody war, but maybe it’s almost the same from the terrifying aura that makes you think you’re about to die that Kisuke is emitting?” Aika hands are still trembling even though she recovered and asked a bunch of questions that Koneko can’t answer. She can’t even comment on the flashy battle happening in front of her as she kept thinking about Kisuke’s pressure.
“All I can say is that they couldn’t have attained that kind of power by just peacefully leaving.” Koneko shook her head and stared at Yoruichi’s figure who’s flashing in and out of existence and Kisuke wildly swing his sword while roaring.
Yoruichi is maneuvering around Kisuke and sending out kicks and punches on Kisuke’s body, but the most it can do is leave some cracks on his ivory body which instantly regenerates, ‘This won’t do. His body is too sturdy that I can’t leave any long-lasting damage. His Reiatsu is also on the rise which increases his defense further. Although I’m doing a good job buying time, if I can’t stop his momentum, he would sooner or later overpower me. I have to somehow disable him, maybe to the point of almost death. He’ll recover easily anyway.’
“Shunko (Lightning)!” Yoruichi her orange over-shirt disintegrates leaving only her black, backless, sleeveless undershirt and lightning dancing around her. She raised her Reiatsu further forming a pair of lightning wings generated from her back.
Aika and Koneko were, of course, awestruck at Yoruichi’s sudden outburst.
“So cool,” Aika muttered absentmindedly and Koneko nodded in agreement and balled her fist, ‘I’ll able to do something similar in the future.’
Yoruichi didn’t wait further and rushed towards Kisuke and jumped upwards positioning him just below her, “Raiouken (Thunder King Fist)!” She sent a series of ultra-high-speed punches clad in lightning delivered using both of her arms.
The ground was completely destroyed leaving Kisuke underneath it. The barrier is also mostly destroyed and Yoruichi retreated to repair the barrier. She deactivated Shunko and took a deep breath while repairing the cracks on the barrier.
Yoruichi never let her focus leave Kisuke but she still underestimated him, as while she was busy repairing the barrier, Kisuke suddenly used Sonido to appear beside her without waiting for his wounds to heal. Kisuke’s body is cracking all over and half of his mask was destroyed, revealing his face devoid of any emotion other than rage.
Yoruichi was able to react in time and used Ikkotsu (Single Bone) a Hakuda technique to hit him in his abdomen, sending him away with the almost destroyed stomach. But Yoruichi felt something wrong when she landed her punch and she was right. Kisuke used a variant of Sonido, Gemelos Sonido (Sound Twins) creating clone-like afterimages, and Yoruichi precisely hit Kisuke’s afterimage and the real him is already behind her blasting her with crimson-colored energy leaving a large wound behind her and sending her away like a meteor.
Before Yoruichi hit the wall of the restored barrier however, Kisuke appeared in front of her again with another use of Sonido and grabbed her neck. Yoruichi grimaced in pain and tried to pry open his hand but with no avail. She couldn’t gather her Reiatsu as she still felt groggy from the blast earlier. She saw the Kisuke started charging her dark green Cero (Hollow Flash) from his mouth, ‘I’m going to die if that hits me.’
