Lotus Explosion!

A sword pierced through Sama's chest, the blade emerging on the other side.

"Shattering Flower Style: Lotus Explosion!"

The sword slashed through him, cutting deep.

"W…h…at?"

Sama collapsed. 

The blade had struck his heart, and Maya's attack had severed most of his chest. 

His life ended in disbelief.

Before Sato could land the final blow, it was Maya who struck Sama down.

"Hah… Hah…"

She panted, trembling with nerves. 

She hadn't expected her attack to succeed, but Sama's weakened state had made it possible. 

It was more than enough to finish him.

Maya stumbled back, pushed aside as Xerox stepped forward to face Sama alone. 

From a distance, she watched the terrifying battle unfold.

Xerox was unlike anything she had ever imagined. 

His power went far beyond what she thought was possible.
