As Momoshiki Otsutsuki's guardian—or perhaps it would be more accurate to call him his subordinate—Kinshiki obeyed the order and flew toward the signal sent by Otsutsuki Kaguya.
In the starry void.
Seeing the figure flying toward them, Araki asked, "Which one is this?"
Kaguya looked at the massive figure, his thick arms and single horn, and quickly recognized him. "His name is Kinshiki. He is Momoshiki's guardian, excels in close combat, and is proficient with many kinds of weapons..."
"So he's just a minor character."
Araki seemed somewhat uninterested. "But killing him should bring Momoshiki Otsutsuki here, right?"
At that moment, Otsutsuki Kinshiki noticed them as well.
"Kaguya, where is Isshiki?"
Having sensed no chakra from Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Kinshiki asked.
"Isshiki is waiting for you to join him!"
Araki did not waste words. He swung his sword and slashed at him.
Clang!
Kinshiki reacted quickly as well. He drew a red-glowing polearm from behind his back and collided with Yachiru.
"Who are you?"
Although Kinshiki was far larger than Araki, with one arm nearly thicker than Araki's waist, he had not gained any advantage in strength.
"The man who'll kill you!"
Araki's sword strikes came faster and faster. Kinshiki gradually failed to keep up, forcing him to replace his polearm with two slightly shorter hand axes. Only then could he barely match Araki's pace.
But when Araki accelerated once more, the scarlet blade still sliced through Kinshiki's body.
However...
"Hm? No physical form?"
Araki sensed the weightless feeling from his blade. "Intangibility?"
Kinshiki took the opportunity to retreat out of close-combat range. With a wave of his hand, a weapon rack glowing red appeared behind him. Blades, spears, axes, halberds, swords, and lances flew out in a rain of attacks toward Araki.
Ame-no-Habakiri!
"What use is having so many?"
Araki
