"Ongekki Slash ×2—"

"Lightning Shockwave!"

"Lightning Slash Shockwave!"

Watching the two Oni close in on him, Gu Yu felt incomparably fortunate that the one who had hit him just now was Ibuki.

As the only Rider among the Hibiki, Hong Oni, and Ibuki trio who specialized in long-range attacks, Ibuki was somewhat weaker than the other two in terms of raw damage output.

Judging by the finishing-move data from the Hibiki video game, Ibuki's finisher was coincidentally the weakest among the trio, possessing only a little over a hundred tons of physical impact.

Although Ongekki Strike could deal piercing and elemental damage, the wind attribute Ibuki specialized in possessed considerable power when it came to physical impact and cutting through objects.

However, compared to the lightning attribute wielded by the two Oni, Zanki and Hong Oni, the wind attribute merely amplified damage and was not quite as troublesome.
