Several buildings in the immediate vicinity collapsed when the devastating shockwave crashed into them. The buildings wavered before literally falling in on themselves, like a stack of cards or a tower of Jenga blocks that were no longer capable of holding their own weight. The structures were shaken apart, until they were nothing but a pile of rubble.

This was Kotohime’s second most devastating technique: Gekido, Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto. Wrath of the Moon God.

When the technique ended, the vicinity in which Kotohime’s battle took place looked less like a warzone and more like something out of an epic fantasy battle. She stood on a raised platform in the center of a massive crater at least fifty feet in circumference and twenty feet deep. The platform she stood on, a perfect circle with completely smooth edges, was the only piece of flat land left in the vicinity. Everything else had been destroyed.

She took a deep breath, then released it. Looking around, Kotohime surveyed her damaged surroundings. She could not detect Kaine’s youki anymore. Was he dead, or had he escaped?

Within the stillness caused by the aftermath of her devastating technique, Kotohime could only conclude that, whether her foe had died or not, this battle was over.

Kevin decided to start the battle cautiously. He knew nothing of his opponent, other than the fact that Blondie was an Ocean Kitsune.

Ocean Kitsune were kitsune who could only use saltwater for their techniques, which explained why they always chose to live near the ocean. Having never met an Ocean Kitsune before, Kevin didn’t know much about them, but he’d been told enough by Kotohime to be wary.

Of course, most of Kevin’s attention was focused not on trying to learn more about his opponent, but on dodging the whip that his enemy used. Fortunately, avoiding the incoming weapon was easy—too easy.

Kevin had become used to fighting people who beat the crap out of him on a daily basis. He’d spent over seven months sparring with people who were faster, stronger, more experienced, and just plain better than he was.

This person, this kitsune, was none of those. He moved slowly. Each swing of his whip was drawn back with obvious intent. Even if his swings hadn’t been so ridiculously slow, Kevin would have still been able to dodge them with ease.

Because Kevin could see. He could see the minute twitching of muscles that told him where the attacks would land, and notice where the kitsune’s blue eyes flickered to as he planned to attack. This fox just did not have the mentality of a fighter.

Kevin sidestepped an attack, going left, though his movements looked sluggish and awkward. The liquid weapon left an indent in the pavement. For something made of water, it was surprisingly strong.

“Hold still you!” Ken snarled.

“You can’t honestly expect me to stay in one place and let you hit me, can you?” Kevin fired back, even as he clumsily danced away from the water whip. “That’s just stupid. No one’s going to stand around and let you beat them to death.
