"No paths exist for you to live. Abandon all hope!" Lancia growled as he hurled the ball towards the gang. "Senja Reppa [Thousand Snakes Fierce Conquest]!"

"Shit! The air current!" Utau yelled in shock as she narrowly dodged the attack again, yet the speed of her boots was so quick that it ended up carving tracks onto the ground, causing her to grab her spare pair of daggers and plunge it into the soil to steady herself.

"Tch... So the snakes on the ball are causing it?" Kyoya remarked in a dark voice as he dashed forward and swung one of his tonfas at Lancia before he could react, easily managing to get a hit on him.

"You're correct," Reborn nodded from where he stood. "The snake shape ditches are the cause of the flow of any air that strikes the ball to bend in a spiral. An air current that passes through those ditches is entangled in complex knots, amplifying its power many times and resulting in a violent gale."

Lancia merely frowned as he readied another attack. "Even if you understand it, you won't be able to capture it. Bouja Reppa [Violent Snakes Fierce Conquest]!"

"I'm going to go with faith on the basics!" Takeshi replied as a determined smile grew on his face. However, he looked down to see Utau grab his arm. "Utau?"

"Don't. Even if you duck, he'll reverse the spin and attack you! Run!"

Before he could even react, the ball had already came swinging their way. Takeshi gasped in shock upon feeling himself flying, the air current hitting against his face before he came to a sudden stop, leaning against a tree. He looked down, only for his eyes to widen in horror.

"U-Utau?!"

"F*ck... At least he didn't crack my spine..." Utau chuckled bitterly as she wheezed, but Takeshi could clearly see the blood running down her back from where the chain ball had hit. "You alright there, Sushi?"

He stared, unable to react as Lancia stepped forward. "As I said, abandon all hope."

Meanwhile, Kyoya's eyes narrowed as he gripped his tonfas tightly to the point that his knuckles had gone white. "I won't let you."

"Utau!! Are you alright?!" Takeshi yelled out in horror as he gripped onto her shoulders before she collapsed onto the ground. Hayato had also seen it and began running towards them.

"What the hell were you doing, woman?! Now you're injured...!" Despite his harsh tone, Takeshi could sense the worry within the silver-haired man's voice.

"It's fine... I can heal myself..." She muttered before she seemed to hum a little tune. Before they could react, she began to stand up, as if nothing was wrong. Both males stared at her in awe.

"What just happened?!"

She smiled back a little as she took a few deep breaths, as if she was suddenly exhausted. "It's a power I just awakened and found. My voice can provide support in fights... but I don't think I know much about it yet, and I just realised that it takes quite a bit of energy. It's also why Kyo's injuries turned out to not be as serious as what it was originally. He had a couple of broken bones before, but I managed to heal him."
