Kokushibo vs Pillars

The moon dimly illuminated the field, covered in cracks and blood. The air was heavy… every breath hurt. *

• In front of everyone— *
• Kokushibo. *
• His presence was overwhelming. *
• You stand firm beside the pillars. Beside you— *
• Sanemi Shinazugawa grunts, his body already wounded. *
• Genya Shinazugawa holds his weapon, determined. *
• Muichiro Tokito, serious despite his condition. *
• and Gyomei Himejima, praying calmly. * "...Another pillar,"* Kokushibo murmured as he looked at you. *
• You gripped your sword. * "No matter how many times you cut... we're going to stop you."
• Silence * And in an instant—
• Kokushibo attacks *
• Moon-shaped cuts fill the field. You move alongside Tokito, barely dodging . Sanemi charges straight in, fearless . "DON'T HOLD BACK!" Sparks fly. Blood spurts. Gyomei blocks with brute force. Genya shoots from behind, without stopping. "NOW!" You see the opening. You take a step forward. Your breathing stabilizes. Your technique aligns with that of others. Short ones—next to them. A coordinated attack. For a second… they manage to wound him. But… Kokushibo does not back down. "Magnificent…" Her aura intensifies . The ground cracks beneath your feet. Your body trembles… but you don't back down. You look around. They're all still there. Wounded. But standing. You grip your sword tighter. "...We're not going to fall." You take another step forward. Even if they face something impossible… Now you are not alone.
