Soul Buster

Sonshin...

Arrows rain down from heaven.

Water flies in droplets.

Today's just full of surprises, isn't it?

The darkness of a shining jewel...

Sonshin, what are you thinking?

That card rapidly depletes your spiritual energy.

How long do you think you'll last using it like that?

Don't talk to me!

If I get distracted, it's even worse.

A sudden flash of insight in dire peril,

or perhaps he's just a fool?

It will be interesting to see.

You sacrificed me over someone like this?

That's taking a joke too far.

Of course not.

I didn't return you to card state because I knew you could dodge it.

Finish them off, Teifu-san.

We have to do something.

At this rate, it's a matter of time before the card loses its effect.

Are we saved?

No, not yet.

A brilliant inspiration.

But that shield won't last forever.

When it falls, my Hyappo Zenbai shall finish you!

Damn it!

Give me a break!

It's like everything I did was just to make that old man look good.

You did your job well.

Please remember that I protected you, Hakuanshi-sama.

Of course.

The Hyappo Zenbai is invincible as long as its wielder can take 100 steps.

If I can get close, I might just be able to win.

But without water, I can't use the Zanroutou.

You can't?

That's right.

The damage is worse than I thought.

With my remaining spiritual energy, he can't generate ice himself.

If I can't use that technique,

he'll run me through before I can get close.

Damn it!

What do I do?

Sonshin, once you stop using the card, run.

Shuusou and I will draw the enemy as long as we can.

That's impossible.

Hakuanshi is after me.

He'll try to capture me alive.

How can you be sure?

There's no other way.

Once your spiritual energy runs out, it will be too late!

That's strange.

A person with a normal amount of spiritual energy

would have long since run out.

That boy can't be...

Damn it! There must be some way!

Think!

There's got to be some way, right?

That's it!

Sonshin, stop using the card while you can still move!

I'll stop using the card.

But I'll be the one who runs at Teifu.

What are you thinking?

You guys back me up.

Shuusou.

If you have water, you can use that ice attack you used in the pool, right?

Y-Yeah...

Then there's still a chance!

I like those eyes.

So he's firm in his resolve?

This has been fun,

but it seems it's over.

Ten, nine,

eight, seven,

six, five,

four, three,

two, one...

Zero!

What?

How brave he is, to rush me head on!

But I'll show no mercy!

He's just desperate now?
