A digital notification blinked in the air:
[SYSTEM] Opponent detected.
[ALERT] Attempting to gain control of your body in 30 seconds.
[RECOMMENDATION] Activate countermeasure.
Raito narrowed his eyes. "Let's see how you try it."
The red light from Shota's hand moved slowly, inching toward him—
[SYSTEM] Incoming skill detected. Type: Offensive. Range: Melee. Potential damage: Extreme.
! YOU IDIOT!
Raito's body collapsed which made him bent down but he didn't kneel . His leg buckled, his hands trembling. Shota stumbled back, confused.
"What the hell…?!"
Raito rose slowly, his aura flaring faintly.
[SYSTEM] Absolute Suppression – Activated.
[SYSTEM] All opponent skills disabled.
[SYSTEM] Opponent skill: BLOOD MANIPULATION – NULLIFIED.
Shota's eyes widened. "I… I can't… my skills aren't working! What the hell is going on?!"
