Shigeo didn't look at her.
His eyes burned brighter, lightning veins sparking across his skin.
"I can handle it."
(Just two more seconds… all I need is two.)
Bakuza turned suddenly, sensing something—
His grin widened.
"You think you can predict the void, boy?"
The Shade-Fire aura exploded outward.
Flames turned black, spiraling like wings of a dying sun.
The shockwave tore across the ground, heading straight for Shigeo.
Saya's eyes widened.
"Shigeo!!"
She moved instantly petals of blighted Bloom spinning around her as she raised both hands, forming a crimson barrier.
The impact hit shattering the ground, tearing the air.
She coughed blood but stood firm.
Shigeo blinked once the entire world frozen in a single frame of thought.
(Pattern aligned. Path calculated.)
He raised his right hand, lightning converging into a single point.
"This is it!!."
