Chapter 35 — The Unbreakable Blade: Yuzurei vs. Eisuke
The sky above shimmered with a cold blue moon, its reflection dancing across the shallow waters and the ruins of high-tech towers.
Yuzurei knelt on the shattered floor — blood dripping from his mouth, his chest heaving.
Each breath came with pain… yet his grin never faded.
Eisuke stood a few meters away, calm and sharp-eyed beneath his white suit, his dual blades gleaming like blue fire.

The Clash Continues
Eisuke leapt into the air, slicing down with such force that an entire building split clean in half.
The massive structure crumbled, raining weapons and katanas across the battlefield like falling stars.
Eisuke (smirking): "Hm... Well done, Yuzurei."
He turned his back — convinced his opponent was finished.
But then—
A single katana came whistling through the air, glowing faintly red.
Eisuke reacted instantly, swinging his chained blades to block—
CLANG!
The chain split in half.
Eisuke's eyes widened.
He turned slowly.
Through the smoke and dust, Yuzurei stood once again — covered in blood, yet unbroken.

The Storm of Blades
With a mad grin, Yuzurei grabbed a massive crate of katanas beside him and hurled it into the sky.
Dozens of blades scattered around him, spinning in midair under the moonlight.
Eisuke (in disbelief): "For real…?"
Yuzurei (laughing): "YES, FOR REAL!"
He leapt into the air, catching and switching blades faster than the eye could follow —
nine katanas flashing like burning comets.
Each swing tore through the air, leaving trails of crimson and sparks that lit up the night.
Eisuke (shouting): "Don't tell me you can actually—!"
Yuzurei (cutting him off): "Don't underestimate my durability!"
His movements were pure chaos — yet every strike had deadly precision.
He fought with broken ribs, torn flesh, blood dripping from his chest… but his spirit burned brighter than ever.

Fire and Fury
Eisuke clenched his teeth.
"Then I'll kill you properly this time!"
He unleashed all four of his blades, chains whipping like lightning, striking from every angle.
But Yuzurei didn't flinch — not even once.
Every katana in midair danced in rhythm, red flames igniting across their steel edges.
The sky lit up — red fire clashing with blue moonlight.
Eisuke lunged low, finding a brief opening — his blade pierced Yuzurei's lower jaw, the impact shaking the entire ground.
Sparks exploded, buildings around them collapsed in shockwaves.
Electric sparks crackled through the water.
Yuzurei's nine katanas burned even brighter — their edges glowing molten red.
Eisuke struck again — a slash across Yuzurei's face.
Blood splattered.
His left eye was gone.
But Yuzurei didn't stop.
He didn't even blink.
He fought harder, faster — nine blazing swords spinning around him like fiery wings.
Eisuke (in shock): "Are you… really a human!?"
Yuzurei (grinning, blood dripping): "I'll leave that for you to decide."

The Final Strike
They charged one last time — flame and lightning colliding under the moon.
Their weapons crossed, clashed, shattered the water beneath them into mist.
In a single flash—
Yuzurei's katana pierced Eisuke's heart.
Time froze.
Blue sparks scattered through the air.
Yuzurei stood, his remaining eye glowing red in the moonlight, holding his blade steady.
Yuzurei (softly): "This… is the fight I was waiting for."
Eisuke looked down at the blade impaling him — and smiled faintly before collapsing into the shallow water.
The ripples spread.
The battle was over.
