Binsa Stays Standing

As Isamu and Homura rushed to Kuragami's aid, they could see Kuragami locked in a fierce struggle with Binsa, her earth powers wreaking havoc upon the battlefield. Kuragami's usual confidence seemed tempered by the sheer force of her attacks. His coating is gone.

Sweat streamed down Kuragami's brow as he deftly evaded a barrage of earth-shaking blows. He beckoned Isamu and Homura closer, his voice strained but resolute.

"Don't let her touch you!" Kuragami called out, his words carrying urgency.

"She's using something called Kyanseru and it hurts a lot. Our aura doesn't work on it too so be careful!"

Isamu and Homura nodded, their expressions firm.

"If aura doesn't work, then what the hell are we supposed to do?"

Kuragami's eyes narrowed as he analyzed the situation.

"We need to create distance and find an opening to strike."

Homura jumps and shoots fireballs towards Binsa. She evades them all.

"Easier said than done."

As if on cue, Binsa unleashed another torrent of earth-based assaults, causing the ground to tremble beneath their feet. Isamu and Homura leaped back, narrowly avoiding the destructive force of her onslaught. The air crackled with tension as they regrouped, their minds racing with strategies.

Isamu's eyes gleamed as he summoned the power of lightning within him. Bolts of electricity danced along his body, enveloping him in a crackling aura. With a swift movement, he propelled himself toward Binsa, his lightning-imbued strikes slashing through the air. But even with his enhanced speed, Binsa's Kyanseru allowed her to deflect his attacks with ease, her grapple providing her an extra advantage.

Homura, too, joined the fray, his fiery aura flaring to life once more. He unleashed a barrage of flames, attempting to create a barrier between them and Binsa. But she countered, manipulating the earth beneath their feet, creating a solid wall that absorbed the brunt of Homura's assault. Her relentless determination seemed unmatched.

Isamu and Homura found themselves constantly on the move, dodging and evading Binsa's earth-based onslaught. They could feel the weight of her power pressing down upon them, her earth manipulating their surroundings to her advantage.

Kuragami, still engaged in combat, watched his comrades' struggle with a keen eye. He could see their frustration mounting, but he refused to let despair take hold.

"We can't keep going like this! I can't even use my Ice Coating fully. Stupid Kyanseru."

With a swift motion, he coated his hands with a thin layer of ice, readying himself for a counterattack.

"We can't give up. We need to adapt, find the weaknesses in her defense."

Together, they formulated a plan, exploiting the gaps in Binsa's defense. Isamu's lightning-imbued speed allowed him to create distractions, keeping Binsa occupied and off balance. Meanwhile, Homura utilized his fire to create diversions and limit Binsa's maneuverability.

Kuragami seized the moment, his ice-coated fists striking with precision, exploiting the brief windows of vulnerability. Each blow sent tremors rippling through Binsa's body. The sheer force of Kuragami's strikes shook the ground beneath them.

As the dust settled from Kuragami's powerful strike, the trio of disciples jumped back, their chests heaving with exertion. Their eyes met, a silent understanding passing between them. It was clear that they couldn't overcome Binsa individually; they needed to combine their powers, melding their elemental abilities into a singular force that would surpass her defenses.

Kuragami, Isamu, and Homura gathered in a small circle, their determination shining brightly in their eyes. Kuragami's voice rang out, his tone resolute yet filled with a glimmer of hope.

"You guys ever combined techniques before?"

Isamu and Homura both look at each other confused.

"No..why? What are you thinking?"

"I say, we combine our aura to create a combined technique."

Isamu slaps Kuragami's head.

"Do you know how much risk there is in combined techniques?! Instead of hurting her, we'll just hurt ourselves. We're only Shorai."

Kuragami looks at Homura.

"Homura? It's the only option we got."

Homura looks at Isamu.

"Well, Kuragami does got a point. Her Kyanseru is too strong. We need to overwhelm her somehow."

Isamu stares at them for a moment. He sighs and gives in.

"Alright fine! But if this goes wrong our blood is on your hands Kuragami."

Kuragami chuckles. He punches his fist into his other hand.

"Alright! Let's create a technique that unifies our elements, channeling them into a single attack!"

They closed their eyes, focusing their aura and raising it around them. The air around them grew charged with anticipation as their auras merged, intertwining in a mesmerizing display of ice, thunder, and fire. Binsa stands there amazed.

"Impossible. Since when did Shorai evolve like this?"

As the sun began its descent, the disciples opened their eyes simultaneously, their auras pulsating with a newfound intensity. The energy between them crackled, intertwining in a harmonious symphony of elements.

Kuragami, Isamu, and Homura stepped forward, their bodies charged with the combined might of ice, thunder, and fire. Their voices merged in unison, a resolute declaration that echoed across the battlefield.

"Raijin's Scorching Blizzard!"

The island around them seemed to tremble as their combined attack surged forward, a swirling vortex of ice, lightning, and scorching flames. The power unleashed was breathtaking, tearing through the air with an otherworldly force.

As the powerful combination attack of Raijin's Scorching Blizzard surged towards Binsa, her eyes flashed with a dangerous glint. The force of the technique collided with her, unleashing a cataclysmic display of elemental might. But to everyone's shock, Binsa raised a barrier of shimmering Kyanseru energy, effectively nullifying the attack.

Kuragami, Isamu, and Homura watched in disbelief as their meticulously crafted fusion technique was effortlessly countered. The ground beneath them trembled, echoing their dismay. Binsa stood, her body bathed in an ethereal glow, a testament to the power bestowed upon her by the ancient Kyanseru.

A smug smile played on Binsa's lips as she taunted them.

"Did you really think your feeble attempts could overcome the might of Kyanseru? How amusing."

Kuragami clenched his fists, his frustration mingling with determination.

"What…the hell! We created a combined technique and it's nullified like that?! What the hell is this Kyanseru?!"

Kuragami's mind raced, searching for a strategy that could circumvent Binsa's formidable defense. He knew they needed to disrupt her connection to the Kyanseru, to find a way to exploit its limitations.

"Your efforts are futile," Binsa taunted, her voice laced with confidence.

"Kyanseru transcends your elemental abilities. It cannot be overcome."

The disciples exchanged concerned glances, their determination tested to its limits. But within the depths of their unity, a spark of resilience ignited. They refused to accept defeat.

Kuragami stepped forward. He knows that they're struggling fighting Binsa. Yet he still finds time to smile in the face of danger.

"I say you hurry up and kill us now. Or I'll come up with a plan that will defeat you and your stupid Kyanseru!"
