The Battlefield Trembles


    Raizo and Izuki stood against Shidou.


    The leader of Shinsei.


    A man with unmatched power.


    Raizo wiped the blood from his lips.


    Izuki’s Lout Eyes glowed fiercely.


    But Shidou—


    He stood there unshaken. Smirking.


    "Is that all?" he mocked.


    Raizo clasped his hands together.


    "It’s time to end this."


    Shidou raised an eyebrow.


    "Celestial Genjutsu."


    The world distorted.


    Shidou suddenly found himself inside an endless abyss.


    A realm of illusions.


    "You are trapped," Raizo’s voice echoed. "This is Celestial Genjutsu. No one can escape."


    Shidou looked around.


    Darkness surrounded him.


    A hundred Raizos appeared, surrounding him from all sides.


    This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    "This is your end, Shidou."


    But then—


    Shidou smirked.


    His Hadara Eyes glowed red.


    "We are Shinsei."


    A terrifying aura exploded from Shidou.


    "We are gods."


    CRACK!


    The entire illusion shattered.


    Raizo’s eyes widened in shock.


    "What—"


    Before Raizo could react—


    WHOOSH!


    Shidou vanished.


    And in the next instant—


    "Hadara Teleportation!"


    He reappeared right in front of Raizo.


    "Too slow, Master."


    Shidou’s finger touched Raizo’s forehead.


    "Hadara Paralysis."


    Raizo’s entire body froze.


    His vision blurred.


    "I… can''t move…"


    THUD!


    Raizo collapsed.


    Raizo Hazan—fainted.


    <hr>


    Izuki vs. Shidou – A One-Sided Battle


    Izuki’s rage exploded.


    "BASTARD!"


    WHOOSH!


    Izuki charged at Shidou.


    His fist glowing with raw energy.


    He threw a punch.


    A direct hit—


    BOOM!


    But—


    Nothing happened.


    Shidou did not move.


    Izuki’s strongest punch had no effect.


    Shidou sighed.


    "Pathetic."


    He raised his hand.


    "Hadara Teleportation."


    WHOOSH!


    Shidou vanished—


    And reappeared behind Izuki.


    "You’re weak."


    Before Izuki could react—


    BAM!


    A devastating kick to his ribs sent Izuki flying.


    He crashed through trees, rocks, and buildings.


    CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!


    Izuki coughed blood.


    "Damn… it…"


    But before he could stand—


    WHOOSH!


    Shidou was already there.


    He grabbed Izuki’s throat.


    Lifting him effortlessly.


    "You are nothing compared to me."


    Then—


    Shidou’s Hadara Eyes glowed once more.


    Izuki’s vision blurred.


    His body collapsed.


    Izuki Raiken—fainted.


    <hr>


    The Battle is Over


    Raizo defeated.


    Izuki defeated.


    Shidou stood over them, looking down at their broken bodies.


    He smiled.


    "When will you learn?" he whispered.


    Then—


    He disappeared.


    WHOOSH!
