After opening the Gate of Life, the third of the Eight Gates, Might Guy had bulging veins on his forehead and a crimson face, his entire expression as fearsome as a red demon.
Even after two months of training, this body was still too frail. The sharp pain of tearing muscles kept coming from every part of his body. Opening the Gate of Life was already his limit, and he could only sustain it for a very short time.
I have to finish this quickly!
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
His rear foot slammed into the ground with an explosive thud, and his figure shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.
"Damn you! You brat, you actually did that to Taiseki!"
Kakkō gritted his teeth and charged forward just as swiftly. With a flick of his right arm, a sword tip emerged, striking at Might Guy's throat like a venomous snake.
Victory and defeat, life and death, would be decided in an instant!
"Mm, that's enough. Stop here."
Just then, a woman's chiding voice rang out. Might Guy and Kakkō froze eerily in place, black energy coiling around them, unable to move even a finger.
A gentle breeze blew past, stirring the woman's black yukata, which resembled both mourning clothes and a wedding dress, revealing her slender, shapely curves.
"Although I wanted to play a little longer, an unexpected variable has appeared..."
Dark Seimei turned her head, her purple eyes gazing thoughtfully into the distance, and curled her lips.
"Let's pick up the pace."
She beckoned with her delicate hand. Teruzo Kurogane felt a chill run through his body, and a hazy, illusory male shadow flew out of him. Mr. Guy's features were faintly discernible on its face.
"Back to its rightful owner."
