A glint of resolve flashed in Yoruichi's eyes. She abruptly pulled away from Scáthach, and the white pressure enveloping her began to surge wildly in an unprecedented fashion!
"Oh? Ready to show what you can really do?"
Scáthach stopped attacking as well, watching her with interest.
"This is a move I haven't even fully perfected yet... Consider yourself honored to see it!"
At that moment, Yoruichi's voice seemed to take on a distinctly feline hiss!
"Shunkō: Thunder Beast Battle Form: Shunlong Black Cat War Princess!!!"
Boom!!!!
Dazzling lightning shot into the sky!
When the light faded, a completely new figure appeared in the arena!
Yoruichi's hair had now taken on the shape of cat ears, while claws formed from lightning encased her hands and feet. Behind her, a black cat's tail made of pure lightning lashed restlessly.
A layer of lightning armor resembling black bolts covered her body, outlining every curve of her sizzling figure!
Yoruichi's aura was several times stronger than before!
"This is..."
Scáthach's blood-red pupils suddenly contracted!
Her mind's eye... could no longer predict her?!
The movements and attack trajectories of the woman who had transformed into a "black cat" had completely surpassed what her mind's eye could comprehend!
"Meow!"
It was a roar that seemed to come from an ancient Thunder Beast!
Yoruichi vanished!
No, she hadn't vanished!
She was so fast that not even an afterimage could be caught!
Scáthach felt an overwhelming danger rushing at her head-on. She didn't even have time to react and could only rely on her combat instincts to instantly erect dozens of defensive Rune barriers before her!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The barriers were pierced in an instant, as though made of paper!
A sharp claw wreathed in black lightning struck Scáthach squarely in the lower abdomen!
"Urgh!"
