Rio Wins

Leon and Grim's Perspective:

Rio taunted, "Do you want to take another beating like eight years ago, Haruki?"

Haruki retorted with frustration, "Shut up!" He retaliated by hurling another energy beam at Rio.

I watched the two of them with a sense of sadness. "Aren't you the eleventh Takeshi or whatever? Even though you seem more like the lamest Takeshi," I quipped.

Rio soared over Haruki and delivered a powerful punch. Haruki kept count in his head, muttering, "Three thousand four hundred and twenty..."

Haruki endured the relentless onslaught. I couldn't help but remark, "You really suck to be taking such a beating."

An invisible clock appeared over Haruki's head, and Rio calmly commanded, "Sit."

Haruki was abruptly forced to sit down, unable to control his own body. Without hesitation, Rio swiftly sliced off his head.

As we entered the afterlife, Lycone and Knight watched from their heavenly room, observing the events on Earth as if it were a television screen. Suddenly, Sung Wukong burst into the room, his excitement palpable.

"Get up and get ready to go down to Earth," Sung Wukong ordered. "You're going to have to appear for a little while."

With an otherworldly smile on his face, Sung Wukong included Lycone in the command. In an instant, we materialized on the battlefield as spirits. The only person who could perceive our presence was Ichimaru.
