Mahito was walking through the dark and abandoned alleyway of the city. Suddenly, Rip Tristan appeared before him, wielding his scalpels. Without hesitation, Mahito punched him with his Black Flash, creating spatial distortion and dealing three times the damage. Rip Tristan tried to retaliate with his Scalpels, but Mahito's Body Repel increased his soul energy and directed it at his opponent, knocking him back. Mahito then used his Soul Multiplicity to merge the souls of the surrounding people into his own body, thus increasing his power. Rip Tristan was struggling to fight back, but Mahito's Spirit Body made it nearly impossible for him to inflict any damage. Determined to win, Rip Tristan utilized his Blade Arm, but Mahito easily evaded his attack. As the fight progressed, Rip Tristan realized that he had no chance of victory with his Unrepair ability, as Mahito's Idle Transfiguration allowed him to quickly heal his wounds. Frustrated but unfaltering, he retreated to a safe distance and used his Blade Runner artifact to shoot blades at Mahito. Although the blades were moving fast, Mahito's speed allowed him to avoid getting hit. He then used his Soul Isomer to make the souls of his opponents into one body, which allowed him to overcome Rip Tristan's defense and defeat him with ease. In the end, Mahito emerged victorious as his unique abilities proved to be too much for Rip Tristan to handle. The battle had been fierce and intense, but Mahito's prowess had prevailed.
