Sorry I Couldn't Give You a Satisfying Fight
Inside the Unique Challenge Space, electricity surged like waves.
Hajime Kashimo clapped his hands together. As his withered fingers flashed through signs, the hiss of ionizing air around him rose sharply.
The next moment, the scorched rock beneath his feet began melting along its cracks. A thick pillar of brilliant white lightning descended from the sky, struck his position dead-on, and exploded over his body.
Hajime Kashimo's body rapidly swelled and transformed within the lightning. His scrawny muscles bulged as lightning-infused cursed energy flooded them.
Electric currents pulled his loose skin taut, and his hunched back straightened. The lightning around him shifted from a ghastly white to an incandescent white tinged with pale gold.
This was his true combat form. By injecting lightning into his meridians and forcibly activating his flesh, he instantly restored his aging body to its prime.
"Here I come!"
Before Hajime Kashimo had finished speaking, he flashed before Sōji like a bolt of lightning.
This was not the Raikage's physical charge, which pushed speed to its limit, but the most direct offensive application of lightning manipulation: Charge Path Transfer.
Hajime Kashimo's body moved along the electric field trajectories he generated himself.
He did not need to exert his muscles or push off the ground. He only had to lock onto any point within his electric field, and his body would travel there along a charge path at near-teleportation speed.
This method of movement was faster than the Raikage's Lightning Armor mode, because its underlying principle was not acceleration at all, but the displacement of charge within a given space.
At that moment, the Six Eyes also captured the process clearly: Charge Path Jump, based on the polarity of an electric field.
Each jump required a transmitter and a
