Bang!
Moonlight intertwined with light and darkness.
As Muneyoshi swung his racket, the light and darkness seemed to surge violently in his glassy eyes.
The full moon embedded behind his head floated gently upward, and a faint chant echoed through space.
The deep purple and gray light was utterly extinguished. The entire Different Dimension of the Samurai Courtyard crumbled like snow beneath the blazing sun.
Everything turned moon-white.
The tennis ball in Echizen Ryoga's field of vision suddenly swelled.
Blazing light pierced through everything blocking its path.
Night descended, moonlight filled the sky, divine radiance gathered, and pure light scattered.
"Is this that move from before?!"
Feeling the move he had developed back when he first faced Muneyoshi, Echizen Ryoga sensed a powerful threat.
But he made his judgment in an instant. Although this move was very similar to the one from back then, its power was on an entirely different level.
"Perfect! This move will be mine!"
Despite its immense power, Echizen Ryoga made no attempt to dodge. He had seen Muneyoshi return his previous shot just moments ago.
What's more, his mind had already begun to grasp some of the intricacies and techniques behind Muneyoshi's move.
That meant his ability to devour had taken effect once again.
At the thought, the excitement and bloodlust in Echizen Ryoga's eyes nearly overflowed.
He tilted his racket slightly, and a hazy gray current drifted behind him.
The moment the gray mist appeared, it began to contract. The samurai Muneyoshi had just scattered was once again outlined in human form.
The next second.
A samurai with terrifying blood-red eyes burst onto the court once more...
"E...very...thing...is...im...per...ma...nent!"
Echizen Ryoga swung his racket, and the samurai resembling him had already charged up to the tennis ball.
Pfft...
The expected block and return never came.
