THAT’S BORING!\" Susanoo complained loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" Maria said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She agrees, Susanoo,\" Amaterasu noted. \"Be a man and don’t disappoint the lady, she fancies you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo glanced back at Maria’s smile. A strange sensation stirred in his chest, and a faint blush crept across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uuugh, fine...\" he sighed, shrugging. \"Whatever. Show me what you’ve got, Maria!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Susanoo-sama!\" Maria nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, just call me Susanoo,\" he replied with a carefree smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They faced each other.

Keep up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo transformed into white lightning, vanishing and reappearing above Maria. His sword rushed down toward her neck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria smiled in response. Her blade surged upward, clashing against his katana and pushing him back into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ooho?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo laughed as he was forced upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that!

No—this is solid energy shaped into form...! Sword Spirits?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria was caught off guard. Though fundamentally different, Susanoo had somehow created a technique eerily similar to Dream Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attacking from every angle, how could she retaliate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TRUUUM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dome of swords manifested around her. Susanoo’s clones were flung away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dome was unstable, it rotated, its blades thrusting forward, stabbing anything that touched her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! It’s tougher than I thought. Then how about this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo ascended from below. His Aura gathered into the shape of a Blade Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant, long dragon whose horn was shaped like a long, sharp blade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROOOAARR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon’s roar echoed as Susanoo’s blade struck Maria from beneath her dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dome trembled... and then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It exploded, shocking Maria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria smiled. She transformed into a dragonfly made of lightning and darted behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo intercepted her with a horizontal slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria met it with a downward spiraling strike, forcing his katana toward his own chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ooohhh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo was stunned—amazed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly pushed back with raw power and sent Maria flying downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria landed. Susanoo descended with the same technique, summoning a dragon from his Sword Ki!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria smiled. Nine Dream Soul Spheres appeared, overlapping in her mind and pushing her thinking speed to an absurd level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, her Nightmare Soul Heart became her second sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RUMBLE!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shattered beneath her as Maria soared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ghostly aura merged with her blades. Phantasmal flames clashed against the dragon’s jaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An explosion of sword energies erupted, flames spreading in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo attacked with unrelenting force, forcing Maria onto the defensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his blade relentlessly, like a lumberjack chopping wood with an axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria gritted her teeth. Winds and thunder surged from her Aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HEYAAA!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a powerful cry, her swords unleashed a tornado of sword energy. It collided with Susanoo and sent him flying upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo laughed. His own Aura summoned a storm. Lightning gathered in his blade as both swords clashed, explosions of wind and thunder spreading everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle shook the heavens. Everyone below screamed in shock. The Kami watched in awe, and Susanoo’s siblings sat on the edge of their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, people panicked as dark clouds gathered, filled with thunder and violent winds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Kami are furious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening in heaven?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A great battle...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A battle between dragons!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the chaos around them, Maria and Susanoo fought on. Thunder and winds surged with every movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo vanished, drawing his blade and slashing through Maria!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SLAAASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he couldn’t harm her. Maria turned into lightning, evaded, and reappeared behind him, her sword swinging toward his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo blocked with his scabbard, then struck her stomach with it before landing a slash across her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAAAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kicked his face. Her sword surged upward toward his neck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her blade could not be stopped. Susanoo could not escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet... he smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was incredibly fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most exhilarating sensation he had felt in ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this woman? Just who is this wonderful, beautiful woman?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart pounded faster and faster.

Where have you been my entire life, Maria?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susanoo laughed, charging downward like a thunderous dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ask the same, Susanoo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria smiled.
