His foot touched the ground, eyes glowing red; As Sato unleashed his powers, a powerful red beam shot out from his eyes, illuminating the surroundings with its intense light. The beam was so powerful that it could melt even the toughest of metals.
"You're going to have to try harder than that!" Sanjo, who was in mid-air, saw the attack coming and quickly constructed a shield from his massive black hammer to block it.
The shield crackled and strained under the immense pressure of the beam but held strong, shielding Sanjo from harm.
Sato continued to shoot the beam, trying to overpower Sanjo's shield. Suddenly, Sanjo landed on Sato with incredible force, and the ground beneath them imploded with a loud boom.
The impact created a massive shockwave that sent debris flying in all directions.
The surrounding area was engulfed in chaos as the ground shook violently and buildings crumbled to the ground. Flames erupted from the wreckage as explosions ripped through the air.
Sanjo stood inside the dust as looked at his shield, "Damn, it cracked?" He reconstructed the shield back to a hammer.
Sato was on his knees, slowly standing to his feet, his body oozing with steam from the fire.
Even though his head was facing the ground, one could still see the red glowing lights emitting from his eyes.
"That was pretty good." Sato complimented
"You think that was good? "Sanjo smiled, "No worries, there's alot where that came from!".
As Sanjo raised his hammer to strike Sato with all his might, Sato suddenly disintegrated into a cloud of dust.
The dust reassembled itself behind Sanjo, "You should rest, you've had enough fun for one day… very bad habit." He said with a powerful blow to his back, Sato sent Sanjo flying across the ground.
"Shit… I was careless."
Sanjo tumbled uncontrollably, landing hard on the ground and rolling over several times before coming to a stop.
He struggled to get back up as Sato approached him, delivering a series of kicks that sent him skidding away.
"You can give up now, or you can end up like the last guy, your pick," Sato taunted, "I really can't see myself holding back on you, so if I were you, I'd choose wisely."
Sanjo struggled to catch his breath as he looked around at the destruction wrought by Sato's powers. Buildings lay in ruins, and the ground was torn apart, with sonic booms still echoing through the air.
"How can one person be this strong? None of my attacks have worked so far… damn it." Sanjo wondered to himself, his mind racing as he tried to come up with a plan. But he knew that he had to act fast if he was going to stop Sato's rampage.
"You may think you've won this, but you haven't… Sato," Sanjo grunted as he got back to his feet, "but I wonder, how far are you willing to take it?".
Sato sighed at Sanjo's bravado, "How far am I willing to take it?" He repeated, 'To be honest I'd rather win this without hurting anyone but even I know it's impossible… so if hurting you let me win, then that's exactly what I'm going to do".
"Now you're just getting cocky!" Sanjo darted toward Sato.
Sanjo charged towards Sato, hammer in hand, ready to strike. Sato braced himself, preparing to counter Sanjo's attack.
But just as Sanjo was about to strike, two straight white veils suddenly shot up from the ground, blocking his path.
Sato's ability to see into the future kicked in, giving him a split-second warning of the impending danger.
'What the?...'. Reacting quickly, he leapt back to avoid the veils. But just as he landed, Sato felt a sharp presence in his side.
Looking to his left, Sato saw a massive white tiger charging towards him, its claws extended. Sato had no time to react as the tiger's claw raked across his side, leaving a deep gash in its wake.
Sato stumbled backwards, 'Damn, I didn't expect they'd be fighting too.' He landed on his feet and stared at the open wound in his hand.
He could feel his injury starting to heal, but he knew that he was in a hole as he looked at the three opponents standing a few distance away from him.
'Is this even allowed?' Sato questioned.
<<They seemed to be in some kind of astral state, the audience or commenter can't see them, only you can since it's a direct contact>>
'So they are cheating?'
<<Precisely, it's a wise tastic>>
'Now I just feel cheated on." Sato sighed, 'Is this how you plan to duel me?! I expect more from you." Sato shouted, taking a slow steady step toward Sanjo.
Sanjo looked at his tiger and bodyguard and couldn't help feeling a bit insulted, "I thought I told you two not to interfere." He argued.
"If Tomoe and I hadn't showed up, you would have already lost and you know that." Daphne responded, "Quit being stubborn and let us help you".
If there's one thing Sanjo liked about her is that, she would do anything it took to protect him, regardless of who's in front of her.
He made up his mind and stepped to the front, "Alright fine, what about the eyes watching us." Sanjo asked with his attention focused on the screen above the battle ground.
"I'm in spirit form right now, they can't see me through a magic source, so we are cool." Daphne replied, the white vail dancing around her body like a snake.
"Alright, let's show this guy why the wind clan is made up." Sanjo spoke out with a crazy smile on his face.
"If you say so," Daphne uttered while the tiger beside her roared.
Sato was fully ready to begin the battle, and from the smirk on his face, anyone could tell he was enjoying himself.
<<Do you plan to keep toying with them?>>
'Time's almost up, so I have to end it soon anyway,... Let's do this'.
