Smack!
The moment Urashiki Otsutsuki finished speaking, Shinji seized him by the collar!
"You..."
Shinji said nothing. He grabbed Urashiki Otsutsuki and vanished, leaving the ground cracked where he had stood.
Boom, boom, boom—
In an instant, Shinji carried Urashiki several kilometers. He spotted a mountain ahead and drove straight into it!
Urashiki Otsutsuki slammed into the mountainside like a cannonball. Rock shattered with a deafening roar!
Shinji hovered in the air, watching the hillock crumble in the distance.
"Again?"
Bang!
He snapped back to his senses and caught Urashiki's kick with an elbow strike. Urashiki was covered in dust, but otherwise unhurt.
Shinji frowned slightly.
The two locked together.
Urashiki Otsutsuki's face twisted with rage. "You lowly creature! How dare you look down on me?!"
"Yes."
"?"
Urashiki froze. Proud and confident as he was, this bastard had humiliated him again and again. He was furious enough to explode!
"Damn you! Damn you, damn you, damn you!!!"
Bang, bang, bang, bang—!
They traded punches and kicks in midair. The terrifying shockwaves made the surrounding hills tremble.
Pebbles crumbled to powder.
Dust billowed backward, and sand and stones flew!
Bang!
Their fists collided once more, sending them streaking apart like meteors.
Urashiki panted. A rare flush spread across his pale face, and his chest heaved with the effort.
But...
There was excitement in his eyes now, even delight.
As though he had finally figured something out.
Shinji was breathing a little harder too.
His extraordinary physique still sustained him, even with his Thunder God Body running at full power.
He could keep fighting for a long time.
"The warm-up's over."
Shinji let out a long breath, unfurled a scroll, and strapped the Gunbai to his back.
Then he gripped the hilt at his waist.
Urashiki swallowed and caught his breath.
