Nohara tried to seal Matomiro, but he managed to break free from her attack by transforming into Senero 3.
"Damn it"
"Father has completely transformed… now it'll be even harder to defeat him" Yashimiro stated
Matomiro flew in with a kick to Nohara's stomach, sending her crashing into a nearby building.
"NOHARA!" Yashimiro charged at his father
Midan avoided his son's attack by jumping into the air, then flipped and kicked him in the back of the neck, knocking him to the ground. Yashimiro tried to get up, but his father had no intention of allowing that he dropped down on him, slamming his feet into his son's back, making him spit blood.
"Fuck..."
Blade appeared next to Matomiro, intending to push him away from Yashimiro, but his attack was blocked by the elder Shonetsu. Matomiro struck at Blade with his claw he jumped back just in time, though the claws tore his shirt.
"That was close"
Suddenly, Midan vanished from Blade's sight and in a split second appeared behind him. As Blade tried to turn around, he was hit with a powerful punch to the face that sent him flying sideways. Matomiro didn't stop there and immediately fired a demonic shockwave from his mouth. When it hit Blade, it caused a massive explosion, destroying part of the city.
"Blade… damn it"
When the smoke cleared, Blade was seen lying unconscious in a crater, but a crystal barrier had formed around him. Moments later, Nohara stood in front of Yashimiro.
"Surprised? I'm not that easy to defeat"
While the others were fighting Matomiro, Ronibo and Alice faced Tomar.
"It seems you somehow managed to break free from my control" said the king of Kasegi
"You'll pay for what you did to our kingdom and its people" Alice began releasing her choki
"Your reign is over" added Ronibo
"I don't think so. I still have plenty to do"
Alice rushed at Tomar, and when she got close enough, she created an ice blade. But upon striking the king, he seemed to dissolve into thin air.
"An illusion?"
"Did you really think you could kill me that easily?" Tomar stood on the palace balcony, extending his hand toward Ronibo and Alice before firing a series of magical projectiles
Ronibo and Alice were forced to dodge Tomar's attacks, while Ronibo tried to gather enough choki in his hand. When the moment was right, he fired a lightning strike, hitting and destroying the balcony, forcing the king to fall.
Before Tomar hit the ground, Alice leapt toward him and fired a powerful stream of air from her hand. Tomar raised his arms, pressing his wrists together, and managed to reflect Alice's attack back at her. To her shock, she was struck by her own attack and slammed into the ground.
"Any attacks containing even the smallest amount of choki are useless against me"
Ronibo narrowed his eyes at the current king of Kasegi. "I see… if choki-based attacks are useless against him, we'll have to rely on physical attacks" he thought
Tomar suddenly appeared in front of Ronibo, and before he could react, he was kicked in the stomach. The king didn't let him fly away he quickly grabbed the man's legs and slammed him into the ground.
Alice began to get up. "I used most of my choki fighting Nohara… but even so, I won't give up. I have to save the kingdom and its people"
The former princess created a choki lasso, grabbing Ronibo's leg and pulling him away from Tomar.
"Are you okay?"
"I've been better. Thanks"
Tomar created spinning energy discs in both hands and hurled them at his opponents.
"Watch out!"
Ronibo and Alice jumped in different directions, but to their surprise, the discs followed them.
"The only way to get rid of those discs is to destroy them"
Ronibo activated his dragon manifestation to burn one of the discs with heavenly fire. Alice used her ice magic to freeze a disc and then shattered it with a single blow.
"Where did he go?" Ronibo looked around
"Mr. Ronibo, behind you!" Alice warned
"Goodbye"
Tomar was about to strike Ronibo, but at the last moment, Ronibo vanished, leaving behind a blue flame. Then he formed a massive dragon out of fire and sent it at his opponent.
"Pathetic" Tomar commented
Suddenly, the king felt something on his legit was Alice, who had created another lasso.
"Don't forget I'm still here"
"Damn bitch"
The former princess hurled the king into Ronibo's attack.
"And that should do it"
"Don't relax, I doubt that's enough to defeat him"
After a few minutes, Tomar fell to the ground, but his body was covered by a magical barrier.
"I must admit, if not for this barrier, I'd be finished. Allow me to demonstrate the power of a fragment of the Kinotro crystal he announced, surprising Ronibo and Alice
While the battle raged in Kasegi, in Ozoro, the king's assistant Jack asked Mozalia to teach him the demon language.
"Wow, I didn't know your language was so fascinating" Jack said
"I'm glad to hear that. It's quite ancient. Though when Matomiro and I arrived on this planet, we immediately abandoned it after learning the local language"
"I see"
At the same time in Kasegi, Yashimiro stood up, wiping blood from his mouth.
"You should retreat, Nohara, while you still can. In your condition, even with your power, you won't achieve anything"
"Don't joke with me. I'm not leaving you here alone to fight him"
Matomiro interrupted them, instantly appearing between them. Yashimiro and Nohara jumped back in opposite directions.
"Don't you know it's rude to interrupt when people are talking?" Nohara fired several crystal blades
Matomiro used his demonic choki to destroy them. Derivan flanked his father from behind, forming an energy sphere in his hand and trying to strike his back. But Midan knocked his son away with a demonic wing and immediately followed up with another attack.
Before Matomiro could reach Yashimiro, someone unexpectedly struck him.
"Who did that?"
"It's been a while, Derivan. You've changed a bit since we last met"
"That voice" Yashimiro turned and saw a former friend
"Ray"
"What are you doing here?" Nohara asked, appearing beside them
"I saw you were in trouble, so I decided to help and not let this guy destroy the city"
"So you're not with Borner?" Nohara asked
"I don't care about him. In fact, I'd rather he died"
"Watch out!" Yashimiro noticed Matomiro preparing to attack
Ray formed an energy blade in his hand, and together with Nohara and Derivan, they leapt into the air. Yashimiro attacked first.
"Shindo!" he fired a stream of lightning, but it had no effect on his father
Nohara trapped Matomiro's legs in crystals, trying to immobilize him. Ray rushed in to behead him, but Matomiro easily broke free and kicked the teenager in the stomach, sending him flying several meters.
"RAY!"
Midan appeared in front of Nohara, grabbed her arm, and slammed her into the ground.
"NOHARA!"
Matomiro landed on her and began beating her. Seeing this, Yashimiro became furious.
"Let her go"
Suddenly, the teenager remembered the feeling from the Island of Forgetting.
A purple aura surrounded Yashimiro's body. His pupils turned red, dark circles formed around his eyes, his hair turned purple and more spiked. In an instant, he appeared next to Matomiro, grabbed him by the jaw, and threw him into a building.
