As Choso and Kamikaze emerge from the shadows, both men immediately draw their weapons, ready to engage in battle. Choso takes a fighting stance with his hands out in front of him, fingers twitching with anticipation. "I see you're a swordsman," he says, studying Kamikaze's katana. "But you should know that my blood manipulation is much more versatile than your sword." Kamikaze scoffs. "I've faced tougher opponents than you, boy. Let's see if you can handle the Atomic Samurai." Choso's gaze never leaves Kamikaze as his markings begin to glow with power. There is a shimmer in the air as he focuses his energy, and then suddenly he's charging forward, arms outstretched. Kamikaze readies himself, watching for the right moment to strike. Choso reaches his opponent with a burst of speed, and Kamikaze dodges to the side, trying to get in a hit. But Choso is too fast, and he slams his hand into the ground, sending a spray of blood spikes at Kamikaze. Kamikaze leaps over the spikes and brings his sword down in a Meteor Slash, sending a wave of energy forward. Choso jumps back, avoiding the attack, and then hardens the blood on his body to protect himself. Kamikaze starts to move in for the kill, but suddenly Choso's markings glow even brighter and he unleashes a barrage of Piercing Blood beams. Kamikaze deflects them with his sword, but each hit sends a jolt of pain through his arms. Feeling the burn of his enemy's attack, Kamikaze retaliates with a Flashy Cut, gracefully slicing through the air with his katana. Choso jumps back, avoiding the attack, and then he smirks, his markings growing in power once again. "You're not the only one with a special technique," he says, his voice infused with power. "Watch this!" He slams his fists together and then brings them apart, sending a beam of blood shooting towards Kamikaze. Kamikaze grits his teeth, his eyes widening in surprise. He blocks the attack with ease and then tries to strike back, but Choso is prepared and hardens his blood against the sword. As the two fighters continue to exchange blows, the abandoned city around them crumbles even further. Rubble falls from the buildings and dust fills the air, but neither man pays it any mind as they focus solely on the fight. Suddenly, Kamikaze ignites his katana, flames leaping along its blade. "Atomic Slash!" he shouts, delivering a precise slash that ignites and explodes an atom, creating a chain reaction. The blast catches Choso by surprise, sending him flying backwards in a shower of blood. Kamikaze charges forward to finish the fight, but Choso is already getting back up, his markings growing even brighter than before. "You're not the only one with a few tricks," he says, his voice low and dangerous. Before Kamikaze can land a hit, Choso slams his hands together, creating multiple orbs of blood that explode on impact. Kamikaze is caught in the blast, and when the dust settles, he's on the ground, his body battered and broken. Choso stands over his defeated opponent, his eyes glinting with victory. "You may be fast with your sword, but my blood manipulation is too versatile for you to handle. Don't mess with the cursed spirits." And with that, he turns and disappears into the shadows, leaving Kamikaze lying unconscious on the ground.
