A golden spear was stuck inside Kinoshiba's right shoulder blade. He turned his head around and observed it, wondering how it could've pierced him without him sensing it.

[Kinoshiba] *in shock* How...

[Tatsumo] My spears can pierce through any object, it's not just about the speed or power.

The spear shot straight through Kinoshiba's shoulder blade, partially severing his right arm from his body.

[Tatsumo] Right after you slashed my side and you were preoccupied with trying to inflict more damage on me before I could stabilize myself, I materialized a spear using my energy and directed it away from you for a moment, so I could prepare for the attack. Then, when you clashed with me, I used my true sight ability and landed a shot that couldn't be evaded.

Tatsumo grabbed the spear and held it in his hand as Kinoshiba's body lost balance for a moment.

[Kinoshiba] Tch! I was too desperate and didn't realize the attack.

Kinoshiba leaped backwards, steam starting to emit from his shoulder. The spear in Tatsumo's hand dissolved and he placed his hand on his wound. Aura coated his palm and the excess bleeding on his wound had stopped, but it hadn't healed much. However, it was stabilized and wouldn't worsen unless further damage was inflicted to it. Tatsumo then initiated his next attack, traveling at high speeds and clashing with Kinoshiba once again. Kinoshiba's body was now weakened and now that his focus was healing his wound, Tatsumo noticed that his reaction time worsened. Taking advantage of this, he quickly spun around, and drove the heel of his foot into Kinoshiba's abdomen.

[Tatsumo] Tengoku no Kakato.

The air was knocked out of Kinoshiba's lungs and the steam emitting from his right arm faded, halting the regeneration process. Kinoshiba, saliva shooting from his mouth as the force of the attack caused his core to shatter and his body to crumble, and he was sent sliding back. When he tried to use energy, or continue regenerating his wound, he couldn't. His heart nearly stopped beating at that moment, it felt as if it detached and fell into an endless pit of darkness. Tatsumo flashed in front of Kinoshiba and using his heel, he kicked him three times after. A spinning kick to his abdomen again, a side kick to the chest, and a reverse roundhouse kick to his jaw, dislocating it and sending Kinoshiba flying away. He was truly aghast.

[Kinoshiba] *aghast* No! How is that possible?! Why can't I regenerate?!

Kinoshiba grabbed onto his jaw and pushed it back into place before catching his balance.

Alongside this - Unknown ?

Kairo was still seated in the chair, strapped up and unable to move. Kairo was breathing heavily and sweating, visible stress on his body. Kyutaro stood in front of him, the door behind him locked and the light above them still on.

[Kyutaro] Kairo, what is one of the things you value most in life?

[Kairo] It's hopeless...

[Kyutaro] Oh? Because you're going to die? Well, I might as well make you look better before you do. For starters, how about I get rid of that ragged nap of hair?
