Chase Battle - Ibaraki's Obstinacy

Urgh... Arrgh!

It's a bitter pill to swallow, isn't it, Boss-Lady? Time to pay the toll!

...Not...not yet.

Do you think I am so easily slain!?

You should know better than that, you fool!

No matter how many swords pierce us, no matter how many spears impale us...

We do not stop. Not until we've had our fill.

We are the apex of this filthy existence... and, because we continually devour the souls of others, the embodiment of life!

Thatis what an oni truly is!

Ugh... This heat...!

My Inferno Fist has obliterated entire armies May it burn the flesh from your bones!

Blaze, Sougenbi!

Hot! Hot, hot, hot! Are you trying to burn yourself up too, bastard?!

Her Noble Phantasm's deployed!

...Whew. We managed to defend ourselves through that attack, but... it looks like Ibaraki-Douji got away.

I can't believe she could summon up so much latent power...

Yeah, that was basically her last rally. She won't be able to summon any more of those flames.

She saves that Noble Phantasm for last, not to destroy her opponent, but to give her cover under which she can run away.

That's why she can't win against Shuten. She acts like a ruffian, but deep down, she's submissive.

Ahh. Well, then... What about Shuten?

She's the exact opposite of Ibaraki. She looks refined on the surface, but she's a true oni inside.

But never mind that now. We're finally close to finishing this, Boss.

Agreed. We've all been pushing through our accumulating fatigue...

Right. After all these battles, I know all too well how terrifying oni can be.

Yes, Master. Of course we will.

？！

Let's take this time to prepare ourselves fully and go into battle in our best possible condition.

Everything we've done will be for tomorrow's decisive battle
