"Bang!"
The earth beneath Rokuya's feet instantly burst into a crater several meters across. He vanished from the spot, becoming a streak of dark blue lightning.
With a sharp sonic boom, Rokuya appeared above Kanae in an instant. The enormous Shura Blade swung casually, carrying terrifying kinetic force.

The boulder, large enough to crush a person into pulp, met the edge of the Shura Blade like a block of tofu hitting a high-speed chainsaw. It exploded into powder that filled the air, leaving not even a single sizable fragment.
After effortlessly averting Kanae's crisis, Rokuya twisted sharply in midair, his gaze fixed on the enormous Earth Prison Cage that was frantically squeezing inward.

The first slash!
The Shura Greatblade traced a dark blue, crescent-shaped blade aura more than ten meters long through the air. Like a hot knife through butter, it cleaved viciously into the supposedly indestructible, high-density Earth Prison Cage, its surface covered in scarlet runes.
