Anime Tournament of Power 2 (ATOP 2)

Chapter 34: Indomitable Will

"Hey, babes it's your favorite host here with a small message before you start this week's chapter. The ATOP wanted to thank you all for getting us to 5K, we were just at 4K not too long ago. So whatever you guys are doing, keep it up!"

A large amount of sand was launched up into the air followed by a loud thump but the causation was not seen but it happened again over at a different location. This time Mahito could be seen smiling as he flipped through the air, sticking the landing. Gon was running towards him with his arm cocked back, first clenched when he threw a haymaker. Mahito jumped back causing Gon's fist to hit the sand which couldn't withstand such raw power, causing it to fly up in the air.

This boy is similar to Sukuna's vessel, even their fighting style almost. And if that's the case, the only difference is . . . Mahito performed a defensive slide where he smiled like a lunatic at the thought of how much fun he was going to have. He can't damage the shape of my soul!

Mahito tilted his head when he watched Gon run at him full speed, but this time he decided to go on the offensive. In quick succession, Mahito transformed his arm into a strange-looking flesh blade before running towards the danger. Gon didn't stop however seeing as he slid on his knees so that his head wasn't lopped off from his shoulders. Both of them spun around attempting to catch each other off guard but their speed was equal.

Gon's sweep landed right into Mahito's shin brutally snapping his leg like a twig, the disgusting sound effect only made Mahito more excited to swing his arm. The blade cut through the air until sliced its way into Gon's blocking arm, but not before hitting the shroud of white aura. Ken! Even Mahito was surprised to see that Gon's arm was not sliced clean off, once his blade made contact with his skin.

Using a defensive motion Gon was able to ward off the blade-like butter on a knife allowing him to counter with a monstrous jab. His fist drove its way right into Mahito's face and the impact sent ripples through his skin. Gon yelled when he followed through sending Mahito flying through the air like a rag doll, especially with his flailing leg. Ooh, was that cursed energy just now? Is that how he fended off my attack?

Killua was observing closely as he watched Mahito's body crash into the sand hard, even though he was giggling to himself. His leg slowly healed on its snapping back place, then he sprung up to his feet with a kip-up. I'm not getting a good read on this guy at all, he seems unfazed by almost everything Gon throws at him. He's not human but even still I don't see any weaknesses. With that being said though if it wasn't for his regeneration, Gon would easily beat this freak.

Mahito looked like he was having genuine fun when he swung his blade at Gon who ducked underneath before sidestepping away from the next slash. The moment Gon's feet hit the sand Mahito swung his arm blade, extending the reach by stretching out his skin. Using only his reaction time Gon was able to dodge only receiving a small cut across his cheek, he retaliated by closing the distance. However, like a fishing rod, Mahito's arm reeled itself back in, nearly cleaving Gon's head off from behind.

Mahito changed the shape of his arm into a spiked club which he swung at Gon who flipped backward before weaving past the large weapon. While Gon was holding his own against the cursed spirit Killua rose to his feet. Veins started throbbing throughout his hand as his nails became sharp like razor-sharp knives, Killua observed. Waiting for the moment he could assist Gon without getting in his way. I'll check if he has any organs, maybe that'll stop his regenerative process.

Killua twitched a mere finger at the sight of an opening causing him to lunge forward at blinding speeds. He kept his hand close to his waist preparing to pierce right through Mahito's back until something unorthodox occurred. Before Killua could land his lethal blow Gon grabbed Mahito's shawl before tossing him aside. Shit! Killua tried his best to brake but all he could manage was move the direction in which his hand was moving.
