Yuto readied his posture and caught the water stoppage with his eyes.

(A strong enemy......... But why would a Sendo user be a dark-night leopard........)

　In contrast, although the cessation of the water does not show on his face either, he was inwardly surprised by Yuto's movement, and completely discarded the pride that slightly remained in his mind.

(This boy............is quite skilled at fighting. Moreover, you have an ability that can't be underestimated as a Daoist.......)

　Suddenly, Stopwater, who had been expressionless all this time, smiled.
　Yuto frowned, not understanding the meaning of that cessation smile.
　There was no meaning to Stopwater's smile. In fact, it was just that the cessation was pure joy.
　He still didn't know, he didn't know, but he was glad that the boy in front of him had the potential to be a good adversary who could receive his full strength.
　Stopping water looked at this boy who might be able to fulfill the hope that was lurking inside him.

'Boy, let's hear your name.

　Yuto's eyebrows moved for a moment as he was questioned by Stop Water.

''........Du Du Yuto.''

Hmmm....

You're not gonna tell me your name?

It's up to you after this if you want to say your name.

"...what is your purpose?　You are a wizard, aren't you? You have no interest in this kind of bickering between countries.

Well, no.

　Stopwater grips the black-painted cudgel he's pointing at Yuto.

''I just do what I want, how I want.

'So why did you make sure they knew about the recognition slips that were in the bodies of the people who attacked us the other day?　You did that, didn't you?

　This was actually just an expectation. Yuto gave him a bite.
　Stopwater didn't answer bitterly, but Yuto took it as an affirmation.

''You and the agency and the dark night leopard you were going to create a spark with China?　Then why are you following the Dark Night Leopard!　What do you want? What do you want?　Just a mess!

I told you I'm doing everything just fine!

　As soon as I said it, the water stopped moving.
　It was a tremendous rush. In the frame of the video, the body of the water stoppage changes so much with the view that you might think it skipped a few hundred frames in between.

!

　Despite the fact that Yuto was paying attention to Stopwater's every move, Stopwater was in Yuto's bosom in an instant. Stopwater bent forward with his upper body and raised his cudgel from below.
　On the other hand, instead of retreating, Yuto held ETOBAIL in a lower slanting position and stepped forward to injure ETOBAIL with the cudgel.
　Zhong Bai's cudgel passed close to Yuhin's face and scattered a few hairs on Yuhin's face. But that didn't stop him, he brought his hand to the center of the cudgel, spun the cudgel around like a baton, and then thrust the tip of the cudgel downward once more towards the chest of the young man.
　Yukihito caught the exact trajectory of the club and swung it down in a circular motion from the middle to the bottom of the chair.
　The kon and ETOBAI collided, and the shockwave created by the collision extinguished the fire of the Shitenji family's car that was burning in half beside the two Daoists.
　A few dozen centimeters between them were the faces of Stoppage and Yuto, both staring into each other's eyes.
　During this time, less than a tenth of a second was spent attacking and defending, but Stopwater felt that it wasn't enough. This was because Yuto's move when saving the driver of the car earlier was not like this.
　Stopwater felt the urge to draw on this boy's strength. No, the purpose of the current stop water has already changed. Right now, it's about letting this boy give his all anyway.
　And I'm hoping for the best.
　That he is an enemy who can achieve what he wants.
　But this boy seems to be uneven in expressing his power.
　It's a water stoppage, so I know it's a water stoppage, and it's not enough of a greatness to be demonstrated at the end of a high-level battle. In a battle between people of similar ability, there are times when it decides the winner between those who have it and those who don't.
　Stop water looks for a switch in this boy.
　I assumed it from the subtleties of this boy's movements and facial expressions just now.

'Do you want to know what we're up to?'

!

　Yuto reacts to the sudden words of the water stop.

''Your request to me is...............Go and kidnap that blonde girl over there.

'What...?　I knew it was Marion....

　Yuto's eyes widened, but they quickly turned into sharp ones.
　Stopwater let out a smile.

'Why you want that girl is beyond me, though. Well, it doesn't really matter to me.''

　Cessation of the change in the temperament that Yuto is releasing is seen by Cessation.

You have no intention of backing out of this case........

What are you talking about?　I signed up for this because I wanted to. All I want to do is complete it. I don't care what happens to the girl after she's taken. If I had to take her hostage, if I had to kill her, if I had to rape her...!

　Before Stopwater could finish saying it, Yuto's Senki leapt up. Yuto's body floats on the axis of ETIbai's collision with Stopgap's cudgel and delivers a divine kick to the side of Stopgap.
　
　This attack cut off Tomosui's cheek and caused him to bleed.
　The actuality of the situation is that you can't be sure of what to do with it.

"!

　The tremendous killing spirit from Yuto made him pour his own Senki into the black-painted cudgel. Then the cudgel, as if to protect itself, moved in the hands of Stopwater and extended above his head to appear in the line of fire of ETI Hakubaku's special kill.
　A moment later, this was coincided with a large explosion that occurred due to the ignition of the dense atmosphere ignited by the coordination of Mizuho and Meira's fire. Some of the hot blasts released by Mizuho and the others had the momentum to pass through the side of Marion's Seijunkan and reach Yuto and the cessation of water.
　
　
　Marion deployed the Holy Cycle of Light at the front to protect themselves from the blast they released, but at this point, Mizuho and the others were surprised by the tremendous shockwave that came from behind them, and the shockwave almost took their bodies to the ground.

''Ko, what is this!　Ha, Yuto!

　Marion was also astonished, but she quickly and tactfully transformed the shape of the Holy Cycle of Light from a mere wall into a slightly lower, omnidirectional dome shape that uses more spiritual power. This suppressed the resistance of the tremendous shock wave from behind, and the shock wave was carried forward.
　The shockwave, accompanied by a hot blast, passed right in front of Mizuho and the others, shutting down all of their vision.
　The one who took a decent hit from this was the Dark Night's Leopard, led by Hyakugan.
　Even though they had managed to withstand the blast of the huge explosion caused by Mizuho and the others' coordination with their magical barriers, the shockwave released by Yuto and Stopwater and the blast that wasn't supposed to come here rode, and several times more pressure was applied to Hyakugan's barriers.

''Wha, what's happening!　Dead bird!　Guaah!

　Hyakugan couldn't hold on and was blown backwards, while the other Dark Night's Leopard was also swallowed up by the blast and shockwave.
　Ming Liang was speechless at this unbelievable situation.
　Ming Liang knew of this situation.
　What one must be careful about when following a battle between high-ranked abilities.......or when following a battle between a high-ranked ability and a high-ranked non-human.
　That was something that was drilled into him when he was a follower of Yi Cheng, the head of the Shitennji family.
　
　Gradually, the vision becomes clearer and clearer, and Mizuho and the others stare at Yuto.
　There, they could see that Yuto and Stopwater, who had unleashed verbal power, clashed with each other and stopped moving.

''Doudu-kun........who are you....... No, what do you say about that enemy too........

　Mizuho and Marion were still somewhat calm as they looked at Ming Liang, who was struggling to understand the current situation.
　However, Mizuho and Marion were not without surprise. Until now, even though they had seen Yuto's actual combat, it was only against a large number of enemies.
　This was the first time the two of them had also seen Yuto giving his all one-on-one.

''Marion!''

Yes!

Change of plan. We'll destroy those guys in front of us before we can follow up with Yuto!　And, Meira, give us the instructions to stay out of Yuto's battle!　Just the experience you had when you and your father, Nisae!

Okay, okay!

　Meira replied unintentionally, but she sensed that Zuiho's instructions were such that he had determined that Yuto's fighting ability was above the S rank.
