Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 81 - Ryu vs Yami

Riyu sat in her chair while reading the Report that Mikoto had sent out a. The report contained the information that Riyu had instructed him to. It was something important for him to be able to solve the problem between the Akaasa family and Kuro.

After reading the report, Riyu was satisfied with the results and then smiled with satisfaction.

"Good,"

Ryu said with satisfaction.

However, after thinking again, he smiled bitterly as the price for this information was quite great. It's not about Money, but since this involves Mikoto, she will definitely ask for something troublesome from him.

Riyu thought about what she would give Mikoto in return.

"Well, I'll think about that next time," he said to himself, raising his head from the report and gazing towards the window.

“I think it's time.”

.

.

The door opened and the light of the room shone on Riyu and Yami who came from behind the door. Before they stepped, Riyu first looked at Yami then asked her.

"Are you sure? We've fought before and you understand the difference in our strength, right?"

"I knew. It's just that, as long as I still have hope, I don't want to give up" Yami replied firmly.

Ryu nodded, looking to think of something. "Is it because of your grandfather?"

"You..”.

“What? do you think I don't know?"

“...”

"It might be a good thing to give Battlesuit that to him. But at the same time it's bad for your family and my family. I won't explain it any further. Let's see if your determination is able to at least force me to make me explain it," Riyu replied, then take a step forward.

Yami froze for a moment thinking about what Ryu said. He shook his head and then took the same step.

.

.

"Alright, we start," said Riyu, while taking a fighting position. Yami nodded and took the same position.

In the white room, Riyu and Yami looked at each other, preparing to fight. And once it seems ready.

The white space turned into a battle arena.

After the battle ended, the fight began.

They looked at each other for a moment, looking for gaps in each other's defenses. Then, suddenly, Yami slid forward quickly, taking out a spear from his arm. Riyu responded calmly even after Yami got close enough to her.

The two people exchanged attacks quickly.

They used a virtual weapon that had the same power as the original weapon. Riyu did not use her black sword, but rather just 2 ordinary black blades.

He also did not use 100 percent of his strength because he wanted to fight in a lower grade than Yami so that the fight would be fair and he could also know his abilities better. Right, that bastard became arrogant by using that duel as his tool to practice.

‘Hmm?’

Ehem, in that fight.

They fought each other fast and hard, their weapons clashing against each other with loud noises.

Yami kept trying to find a gap within Riyu's defense, but she was always one step late. Ryu looked stronger and faster than him.

"Did you underestimate me?!" yami shouted, while continuing to fight.

She knows that Riyu did not use 100 percent of her strength and considers that as she underestimated him.

"Don't get me wrong" Riyu replied, while continuing to attack Yami. "I know you've grown, but I'm the same. And with your current strength, you can't possibly defeat me if I unleash all of my power. Besides, I also don't like to duel when I know that I can beat my opponent."

Yami said dissatisfiedly then tried to attack Ryu again.

.

A few minutes later Yami and Riyu continued to fight until Yami finally started to get serious and she prepared to let out her dark energy.

“Oh.”

Riyu looked surprised how Yami seemed to have perfectly controlled her energy. He is the second person to have the talent that Ryu himself recognized. And of course her first talent was none other than her lover.

Yami activated her energy to paralyze her opponent's senses and confuse her opponent.

Oh, he's paralyzing my vision? Riyu realizes she can't seem to see for a while, as if she's in a dark place all alone.

‘Nostalgic backs. Compared to that place. This hallucination looks like earth and sky.’

Of course Riyu did not feel too much of the effects of Yami's abilities except that her vision seemed to be blocked.

Riyu sharpened her sense of sight, but still could not dissipate that dark energy. He frowned because he should be able to do that even with his current level.

‘I did underestimate him.’

Riyu smiles and admits that she seems to have underestimated Yami's development.

When Ryu is in confusion. Yami suddenly appears behind her from that darkness then immediately tries to stab Riyu. When her spear almost hits Ryu's body, Ryu disappears from there and appears somewhere else.

“It's almost just.”

It seems that Riyu is starting to get serious because she is already using space energy - her.but even so, her level is still below Yami so she keeps thinking how to defeat him.

But Yami doesn't let Riyu do that so she quickly tries to attack Riyu with the various abilities she has been training and she's been preparing all along.

.

.

Ryu and Yami fight in the world.

Both of them had extraordinary abilities, but had different energies. Ryu has a power of space energy that can help him teleport, while Yami has the power of Dark Energy that can cause the darkness and confusion of opponents.

The fight was intense. Riyu quickly uses her power to teleport away from Yami's attack, while Yami uses her Dark Energy to attack and block Ryu.

Although Riyu continued to teleport, Yami always managed to block him with her power.

Ryu starts to feel desperate and does not know how to defeat Yami.

He kept thinking and finally found a gap in Yami's strength.

‘It seems I should try using that weapon.’

Suddenly the knife was replaced with a small golden trident with script writing on the handle.

He activates his Balinese trident then throws it. With her Balinese trident, Ryu can use like Minato's hiraishin no jutsu. He quickly teleported beside Yami and used his Balinese trident to send a powerful attack towards Yami.

Yami is shocked and thrown backwards by Riyu's attack.

The fight ended because it seemed that Riyu used a crushing attack on Yami making it difficult to stand up.

When Yami tried to force herself to stand up.

Riyu walks towards him then gives her hand to help him.

"We're in a series, let's talk about something on the spot" said Riyu, inviting Yami to talk after the battle.

What she said was not mercy, but rather was really a frequent result for Riyu herself because she initially did not think she would use the weapons she had bought from her system this early on. And that proves how Yami has become strong.

Yami looked at Riyu hesitantly. He was not sure of what he said, but he still took his hand as he had already realized that he would not be able to fight anymore even if he forced himself.

Finally, Yami nodded. "Alright, let's talk," he said, agreeing to talk to Riyu after the battle.
