[Energy Level 390!]
"Oh, well, I look forward to seeing you fight with your Energy Level 400!" Cynthia's voice chimed in his head.
"Sure, of course! I'd like to figure out the fighting style of a Rakshasa, too." Bobby responded telepathically in his head.
The grotesque-looking Guna Raksa growled like a beast, took a step forward, and was already before his opponent. He punched him in the chest.
Bobby blocked it with his right palm and gave a round kick, landing directly on Guna's belly.
Pop! With a sonic popping sound, it forced Guna Raksa to step 200 meters backward into the air. Finally, getting balanced, he flew back toward Bobby again, and the two started engaging in a melee fight of punches and kicks.
Bobby stood still there in the same spot in the air. But from time to time, he would send Guna Raksa backward and quickly dash toward his opponent.
Bobby didn't even break a sweat, revealing the gap in strength between the Energy Levels of 390 and 400.
Seeing her master fighting the sinister-looking Rakshasa effortlessly, "So this is the difference in strength between Level 390 and Level 400. It's a pretty sizable gap." Cynthia commented telepathically in his head.
At last, Bobby caught his leg and said, "Truly disappointing!" He kicked at his belly, making him fly backward. "Too weak!" He uttered, trying to get under Guna Raksa's skin.
It worked as Guna Raksa growled and poked at several places on his body and shouted in Archaic Sanskrit, "Self Inflicting Ancient Art, Bone Magnification Bloodline Activate!"
He shrieked, "Aargh…!" and a long white bone protrudes out of his chest while spurting a thick mist of red and–splatter! Splatter!...
Next, amidst his long and hoarse cries, blood spurted from around his body and hundred of long and sharp white bones protruded from within his body.
With a loud familiar dinging sound, a notification popped up in Bobby's head.
Ding!
[Sensing Another Rapid Energy Spiking Of Target X!]
[Energy Level: 391!]
[.... 392!]
[.....399!]
[....400!]
[....405!]
[....409!] And it stopped here.
Witnessing the strange manifestation of bones which matched with a particular memory of the two Naginas he had soul-searched, Bobby uttered: "Oh, brilliant! So, this is the ultimate bloodline Bone technique of the Rakśhasa Bone Clan."
"Agree. Now he is even 9 energy levels above yours." Cynthia spoke inside his head. "Hee hee hee, looking forward to your challenging fight."
Guna Raksa, now covered with one-hundred and twelve long bones, bolted toward Bobby.
And along with a war cry, the two began another bout of melee exchanges, and their movement was so fast that they had already covered a large area above the river. It continued for a minute and they separated, making a sizable gap between them in the air.
All this time, Bobby was using the lightning step plus his ninja movement technique to his advantage and avoided all those intricate blade attacks. But in the last exchange, Guna Raksa caught him off guard as another long bone grew out of his palm out of the blue and slashed, aiming for his throat.
Bobby maneuvered his upper body and dodged it. Still, the bone blade grazed lightly on the right arm. Splat! Blood spluttered for the first time.
"Hmm, so sharp!" He uttered and even recommended, speaking Sanskrit in the RP accent, "Hahaha, good… Hey, Rakshasa, you can be proud of yourself for being able to draw my blood which means our little playtime is over."
Infusing a trace of his Lightning Origin Qi inside his Purple Spatial Beast Eyeball, he pulled out a long black katana.
"Humph!" Guna Raksa snorted and yelped, "A savage human dares to talk down on me. Truly unacceptable." He then dashed toward him.
Once again, the two engaged in another melee bout. And the sound of blades clashing chimed in the surroundings.
Guna spun his body and tried to find an opening. Strength Wise, he was stronger than Bobby. So, he forced Bobby to fly back each time their weapons met. "So, this is the strength you're so proud of. Hahaha, truly laughable." He started taunting. And he whispered, "Bone Bullets!"
Just after that, the tip of the bone which protrudes from his right palm started burning with a white flame and shot out a bullet.
Bobby took a step backward in the air and blocked it with his Katana.
Bang! With a loud banging sound, the black katana bore the impact of the bullet, making him fly backward.
The moment Bobby regained his balance again, ten bone bullets flew toward him. So, he quivered his wings and quickly evaded all of them.
While dodging those bullets, he started infusing the katana with his white lightning Internal Origin Qi and made a slashing motion.
Che! Che! Che!... A zigzag thick beam of white lightning bolt flew out from the katana and blasted the next volley of bone bullets flying toward Bobby. It then hit the Rakshasa, covered with multiple bones.
The lightning bolt shocked him into a temporary paralysis and Guna Raksa dropped into the river. Plop!
After a few seconds, an immense wave of water lifted, and the enraged Rakshasa sprung up from inside the water. "You imbecile! I'll take your life and eat your remains." He yelled, and the burning of his bones became more erratic.
"Arg, let's end this fart already." Then Bobby raised his katana high above his head in the air and made a slashing down motion vertically. "Dragon Beheading Strike!" He muttered.
Guna Raksa felt a chill run down his spine when Bobby launched the sword strike. But seeing that it didn't even emit sword energy, he started laughing hysterically, "Bahaha…. Human, you almost scare me to death. Is it some kind of human trickery you practice?"
"Oh, really?" Bobby responded with a savage grin. As a final twist to the story, he even put the black katana into the Purple Spatial beast's eyeball, which he wore around his neck.
"Humph, it'll not work on me." Guna Rakshasa snorted.
"Whatever?" Bobby said tediously, turned around, and flew toward the ship where Layla and Shadow Slave were currently in…
