After continuous fistfights, Kisaragi Rin gradually adapted to his surging power, and his control over his body became increasingly refined.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but Kisaragi Rin always felt that Akaza was shouting louder than he was.
Even after Kisaragi Rin stopped his 'Ora Ora', Akaza continued to shout 'Muda Muda' non-stop.
The noise annoyed Kisaragi Rin.
The next moment, the punch Kisaragi Rin threw again was not just augmented by the Golden Light Technique.
As black lightning condensed between his fists, Akaza, who was already accustomed to the rhythm of combat, only then realized the danger, but it was too late to react.
The next moment, Akaza's arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and Kisaragi Rin's fist passed through it unimpeded, shattering his skull.
"Wind Breathing: Eighth Form: Primary Gale Slash!"
No one had ever said that Breathing Styles could only be used with swords.
Kisaragi Rin's fists could naturally also unleash them.
If the damage dealt by his inherent attributes alone was 5, then after stacking the Golden Light Technique, it became 10, and on top of that, stacking Wind Breathing: Eighth Form, the damage would nearly exceed 20.
Similar to how Heavenly Eye combines with the Golden Light Technique, combining the Golden Light Technique and Wind Breathing to unleash them simultaneously places immense demands on physique and intelligence.
Physique is used to withstand the output of power, while intelligence controls the flow of power.
And Kisaragi Rin's physique was as high as 15, with his intelligence already reaching 16!
Akaza's head shattered like a watermelon, and before he could heal further, Kisaragi Rin's other fist was already swung out again.
This time, it was the Sixth Form: Black Wind Mountain Mist!
Black lightning pierced through Akaza's neck, and the force of the punch passed through his body.
Tear!
Akaza's movements came to an abrupt halt, and his fragmented head fell to the ground.
But the Paradise still hadn't given a kill notification!
Kisaragi Rin's gaze sharpened, but at this moment, his old strength was gone and new strength had not yet emerged, so he chose to kick him away.
The next moment, Akaza's headless body moved again in mid-air, and in an instant, hundreds of punches swept through the surroundings.
"Destructive Kill: Final Form: Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow!"
In truth, Akaza's only true Blood Demon Art was Destructive Kill: Compass Needle, which allowed him to perceive others' fighting spirit and judge their position, attack, and engage in more efficient combat based on changes in their fighting spirit.
The others, including Null Form, Sky Form, Chaotic Form, and Final Form, were all applications of his powerful physique and peak martial arts.
If this were the King of Fighters tournament, then Final Form: Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow would be Akaza's super special move.
It could unleash hundreds of ultra-high-speed consecutive attacks around him in an instant...
This kick avoided the super special move, and the scattered aftershocks were blocked by the Golden Light Technique.
Watching Akaza's head and body heal again, Kisaragi Rin always felt there were some things to complain about.
Isn't breakthrough in life-and-death situations the protagonist's privilege?
Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you, as a villain, to do something like this?
Not dying from decapitation is a major realm for demons. Having broken through this boundary, Akaza was in a great mood and extended an invitation to Kisaragi Rin.
"I acknowledge your strength, unknown swordsman. Become a demon with me! We can fight forever!"
Akaza saw the martial arts extreme he pursued in Kisaragi Rin, and even after some unpleasant battles, he still sincerely invited Kisaragi Rin to become a demon.
Unfortunately, their perspectives already determined that their paths could not be the same.
In his mind, only demons could become stronger, only demons could gain endless lifespan...
Kisaragi Rin merely calmly retorted to Akaza.
"Do you really think a mere breakthrough will allow you to defeat me and turn the tide? That's the privilege of a hot-blooded protagonist, and you will only become a ghost under my fist."
Black airflow coiled around Kisaragi Rin like a python, his aura steadily rising and accumulating.
Akaza paused slightly, then finally raised his hand in silence, and the snowflakes beneath his feet instantly bloomed.
"Destructive Kill: Final Form: Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow!"
"Wind Breathing: Tenth Form!"
As the dust settled, Kisaragi Rin calmly removed Akaza's head, giving the Tenth Form a name.
"God of Windstorm!"
["Your Wind Breathing: Tenth Form has been named"]
["You have killed Upper Moon Three - Akaza"]
["You have obtained Upper Moon Three - Akaza's treasure chest"]
["Your Twelve Kizuki mission completion has increased"]
["More than half of the Twelve Kizuki have died, you have unlocked a new mission"]
As usual, he put Upper Moon Three's corpse into the Workshop.
Kisaragi Rin's arm was a bit sore; he had only wanted to instantly kill Akaza with his strongest punch, but he didn't expect the Tenth Form to cause so much damage to his body.
He had sliced Gyutaro with a sword and punched Akaza, yet the most severe injury he sustained was actually self-inflicted.
Mitsuri Kanroji hurried over in small steps, her face flushed, sweating profusely from shyness, and after a long buildup, she only managed to say: "Mr. Kisaragi, are you tired?"
Immediately after asking, Mitsuri Kanroji regretted it, looking at the shattered battlefield.
"Mr. Kisaragi must be tired. How could I ask such a foolish question and cause him trouble...?"
"My hand is just a little sore."
According to the Paradise's notification, Mitsuri Kanroji's favorability towards him had changed again. It had remained at 90 before, but now it instantly jumped to max.
Even bringing out a character only required 90 favorability points, so one can imagine the value of max favorability.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Hachiman Hikigaya had already withdrawn from their combat range.
Walking forward, Kisaragi Rin asked Yukinoshita Yukino with some distress: "Do you still have power on your phone? If not, take a few posthumous photos for his family to take back."
Yukinoshita Yukino analyzed seriously upon hearing this.
"You'll have to cover the wounds when taking pictures. I'll have my family arrange an accident, like a fire or something. Over time, they'll eventually come to terms with it, and this way, his family won't get involved in dangerous matters."
Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but raise his hand, his dead-fish eyes staring.
"I think I can still be saved."
...
Hachiman Hikigaya should be thankful that Akaza didn't use much force, only throwing a casual punch.
That's why he was only punched through, not turned into a blood mist.
Yukinoshita Yukino timely poured several vials of HP recovery potions into him, saving his life.
Kisaragi Rin released Busujima Saeko and Spider Mother from the Workshop.
Since Spider Mother's spider silk could control an enemy's body, it could naturally also be used to manipulate flesh to stitch it together. Coupled with red potions, simple healing work began.
Accompanied by Hachiman Hikigaya's continuous wailing.
Kisaragi Rin also began to face the biggest challenge of the night.
Busujima Saeko, Mitsuri Kanroji, and an expressionless Yukinoshita Yukino.
Busujima Saeko gazed at the shattered battlefield with infatuation, then turned around to look at Kisaragi Rin reproachfully.
She complained a bit about why she wasn't released, but her gaze was quickly drawn to Mitsuri Kanroji and Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Isn't that a bit too much?"
Thinking somewhat subtly, Busujima Saeko began to observe her ecological niche.
