Chap 144:sorcery vs rider
Seeing the man taking a slow walk towards him makes Takumi feel a wave of unease; he can sense the pressure from Ichika's immense power. All his technique, army, and weapons it was useless.
Even right now, his mind is in distress, as he has to be present at three battles at once.
The two ultras fighting each other in the background create a huge impact on the environment as they throw punches and kicks.
Nexus was stronger and faster, not to mention he had more experience than the newly formed Ultraman.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
Continuous punches landed on Takumi's face, he tried to block, but some of it was too fast. Wanting to gain some distance, he kicked sideways at Nexus. He had anticipated it and backed up just as the leg went past him.
Down below, The Rider Takumi wasn't faring any better. Underwater combat is a weakness he didn't think he would have. This is very troublesome; he has no problem tanking the attack, but annoyingly, he can't dish out any attack to his foes.
The stress is slowly overtaking his mind, having to fight three battles at once is burning his brain.
"I guess you don't wanna give up ?" To answer Ichika's question, the main Takumi assumed a fighting stance.
"Really?"
"Shut your mouth and fight me!"
".......Ok."
They attacked at the same time, Ichika threw a kick at his face. Takumi ducked, punching quickly at his chest several times in a row.
"Hh....on" he rasps, the hit landed, but it didn't faze Ichika at all. Takumi didn't mind, however, and kept swinging wildly. "Tt-hh"
*Blam*
Ichika heard some muttering coming from Takumi's mouth but his mind couldn't really tell what he was saying.
Swinging his leg in a 360⁰ into a round house kick, Takumi ducked a second time, and a sudden second leg sweep came at him.
Takumi fell to the ground. He rolled to the side to avoid a gunshot where his head was. He swung again.
"Hh-" he gasped, "Htn."
Grunting, Takumi charged at Ichika, unbothered by his injury. Repeating his attack, even when it was predictable, he still had at it.
*BAM* Hitting Ichika again and again, even when he blocks his attacks.
"Come on, you have to see this is pointless, I'm just gonna block your attack."
Takumi threw another punch at his face, and Ichika easily caught it in his palm.
"N-ne." He muttered.
"What?" Catching his slumber over body, he leans in close. What could a man whose stamina is at the bottom of the barrel go for anymore? Why does he keep such determination ?
"I haven't hit...a ten...yet."
With a burst of speed, Takumi's fist came up, hitting Ichika square on his chest.
One single regular punch, it poses no threat as Takumi, who was already weak physically, and his curse energy pool has been depleted. But in that small time frame, something changed, so fast, so unpredictable, but it is exactly what Takumi has been counting on.
Dark crack of lightning hits Ichika's chest, an explosion of curse energy as the space between Takumi's fist made contact with Ichika's chest. Launching his body into the air.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Takumi laughed, a crazed laughter that permeated everywhere.
He can feel it, the surge rising within him. His curse energy filled, his body reacted to the effect of it.
Ichika rolled a few times in the air before landing quite roughly on one knee, the hit didn't deal much pain to him, but the explosion of darkness did hurt him.
"Alright! That was quite something." Looking up, Ichika felt as if the man in front of him had changed somehow.
From his head down to his feet, blue and green flames burn brightly. It didn't look like he'd been hurt by it, like he was being purified.
*clink*
And the wheel that floated above his head took another spin.
"You ask for it!" Blasting right at Takumi, Ichika was shocked to find his shot was useless as the guy just tanked it and rushed punching him again.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, Ten!"
The attack didn't end with an explosion of black lightning. Ichika kicks Takumi away as he loads several cards into his gun.
[Kamen ride: Agito]
[Kamen ride: orga]
Two more riders came into existence to confront Takumi, who only wore a maniacal smile as his hands came together.
"Hahahhahahhahahahah!" Laughing, two horns grew out of his head. Charging forward, the new rider instantly got knocked away when they tried to block him.
Takumi's eyes glowed a green light that flashed at Ichika, and he was frozen so that Takumi could hit him freely.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!"
The fight got more destructive with his other body fighting in the background during this. There was an explosion creating wave of water every so few seconds of Takumi's kamen rider body. And then Takumi Ultraman's body is fighting the giant Ultraman Nexus, also making a huge shockwave just from their clash.
Takumi continues to make more combos, the curse energy inside him only goes higher to match his own fiery will. Burning brightly through his punches, through each time he summons an aspect of his ten shadows to fight alongside him.
[Kamen ride: Kivala]
[Kamen ride: Blade]
Two riders were summoned to charge in with their sword, swinging in a wide arc. Takumi didn't dodge it. The blades hit him and bounced right off, leaving no mark or scratches.
Takumi's smile remained as he ignored the sword attack he had adapted to. Or rather, Mahoraga has, now he is the one to take the damage, he is the one receiving the benefit of it.
Not just his curse technique, the skill he earned from other worlds, the weapons he got from the gacha pull.
[Spartan laser(B)]
A giant gun rested over Takumi's shoulder, it charged with a mechanical hum, releasing a red line of light at Ichika.
[Attack ride: shield]
The light was reflected in all directions away from Ichika, burning the ground, the trees, and even the sky around them.
[Guts's dragon slayer sword(A)]
*Klang!*
A loud metallic klang shocked Ichika's hand as his shield was knocked out of his hand, leaving him open for another rush.
"Za warudo!" Dropping the item, Takumi calls to his stand.
[Attack ride: Pause] Ichika, knowing what the man said, pulled out his own card to counter the effect.
The world was sent into a time stop, and everything got frozen except the two men. Takumi and Ichika, brawling with their fist and punches. The island shook under the sheer force each of them was fighting.
Takumi, who was focused only on making combos with Ichika pulling out cards to fight and gain some space to avoid being the punching bag.
