Sendai

As both sides stared each other down, Ryu moved first.

Quickly, he turned toward Yuta.

Ryu spoke with a smile. "[Granite Blast]."

*BTZ PHEW*

Maki moved to protect Yuta, but it was too fast.

Since Yuta no longer had Rika protecting him, eliminating him before she could be fully manifested would put him ahead and make it a one-on-one fight between him and Maki.

Yuta reacted and put both his hands in front of his face.

*SKR BOOM*

He caught it.

...

*Sizzle*

Yuta looked at his hands in shock and saw they were only slightly burned.

*kick*

Maki threw a kick to the side of his head, but it was blocked by his forearm.

Ryu had a wide smile. "That wasn't bad!"

She brought her leg down and spun into a sword strike.

Ryu Ishigori is known for his immense durability. Even Sukuna commented on it, needing cleave to kill him when he was at 15 Fingers. Maki noticed this, so switching to a durability negation sword would be the most efficient way to kill him.

*WOOSH*

His eyes widened as he barely ducked under the strike.

Ryu had a thought. 'That sword could pierce 'that thing' (Rika). Getting hit by it would be nasty.'

Yuta stood still in shock as Maki swapped hands with Ryu.

Ryu is an expert at hand-to-hand combat, and his durability makes him a tough opponent to take head-on. He could unmanifest a partially manifested Shikigami Rika with a single punch that was stated to be too much if she was at full power.

So, even if Maki can land more destructive hits, it doesn't mean much if he can handle them.

He smiled as he was directly in front of Maki. "[Granite Blast]!"

She crossed her arms in an X formation.

*Sizzle*

It chars her arms, but she swings back.

*BAM*

She punches him in the face.

Maki looked irritated as she noticed Yuta wasn't doing anything.

However...

That blast felt familiar to Yuta.

He whispered. "So it was you."

Ryu pushed Maki's hand up, avoiding another strike, but he had someone else to worry about.

He turned as he saw a train door in front of his face.

*BAM*

Yuta reinforced the train door, held on to it as a makeshift weapon, and slapped him across the face.
