Despite having just suffered a setback, Akaza advanced rather than retreating. Wreathed in blue light, he unleashed a barrage of kicks at Kyojuro, their elusive trajectories like streaking meteors.
"Flame Breathing, Fourth Form: Summer's Winding Path!"
Facing Akaza's assault, Kyojuro swung his blade around himself, blocking the kicks with swordplay like a vortex of flame.
Kyojuro felt stronger than ever. His strength and speed surpassed anything he had managed before, and although he still couldn't open his left eye, his vision had somehow improved. He could clearly see every one of Akaza's attacks and block them.
