Chapter 128: Next Time (2/2)

”It's actually a bad idea to compete in speed with me and my teammates,” Ed spoke as Raikou appeared next to him. In an instant, Raikou's body was clad in so much lightning that he looked like he transformed into one as well. He also used Nen, which further amplified the effect.

Ed activated his Nen, Shunpo, Spectral Shadow Steps, Observation Haki, and Rysui Seikken. With such a combination, although he would lose Ki very quickly, nothing could escape him. He even kept the Sharingan active.

Sieg and the others didn't stand still either. Suika, Gobuta, and the others who could use Nen activated their En to feel out the movement of Mehen. Sieg was relying on his experience and magic to keep up with the opponent.

Every second that passed witnessed tens of clashes. Even though his size decreased, Mehen's strength didn't. Ed and Raikou's speed proved more than enough to match Mehen. The once golden desert was now tainted by blood and traces of magic that was used. Flying slashes left deep scars in the sand.

Mehen was being slowly overwhelmed, yet he kept on fighting. Not even two minutes had passed, yet they had clashed for thousands of times. Noticing that he was at a disadvantage, Mehen tried to go back to his original size. He was able to damage everyone more in this form, but he was still taking the bigger damage. But, Ed wasn't going to allow him to do that so easily. He sheathed his swords and kept only Shusui. The usual black and white glow appeared on his sword as he used his remaining Ki on his strongest attack.

”Providence Blade!” Ed's blade connected with Mehen when he was mid-gigantification. The slash was so powerful it almost beheaded Mehen in one go. His was now nearly headless. Endless blood spurted out of his wound as he drew his last breath.

”What a strong opponent” Mehen repeated what Sieg said earlier. He was looking at Ed and his team in great respect.

”Next time I come back, I'll definitely take you with me,” Ed said in a resolute tone. He meant what he said.

”I see I look forward to it,” Mehen spoke his last words, at least the last ones until he is summoned again, and died. Ed and the others were now being teleported to the next floor.
