The Beast Of Karakura VS The Pale Rider: Shadin Yuudeshi VS Tsubasa Unabara -- Commence! [Platinum Heart Tournament Arc]

The first precautions that he took were quite fine indeed -- if these were vectors we were dealing with, however. Instead, the rust would continue to pile on to the sword, but would be somewhat held back by the offensive energy that Tsubasa was putting out. What was actually taking place had been quantum level modifications to the values within the particles around them. All of these calculations and formulas were injected into the spirit atoms which Shadin's energy produced. Then, when he directed them towards his intended target or space, he yielded the ability to modify the particles within said area. Limited to two to four alterations before reaching critical stress, this was the true nature of Imaginary Computation unveiled.

Thus, with that said, it was probably wise enough to stop playing around on Shadin's end. The reason for this is because the nature of his true power required him to use it wisely each round to ensure that it's gifts were not squandered on superficial feats. So, he'd continue to keep on paying close attention to the movements of Tsubasa and analyze him further as a confident smirk eased on to his face. If this kept up, he may have to actually move from his spot and get this battle really moving. Which, to his Yuudeshi Blood, excited him as he felt the life and passion of combat oozing through his veins like a tsunami wave of new purpose and energy.

It is around this point where he'd more than likely notice that his vector countering field wouldn't do too much against Shadin's attacks. Sure, his energy was potent enough to lower the effectiveness, but to totally stop its effects? Not very likely. Therefore, the range in which his blades wouldn't have been tossed may have been greatly lowered, but still within the realm of possibility due to the nature of his abilities. Much of the same could also be said in relation to the damage and rust on them.

"Much of the same could be said of you~ I'm enjoying myself past all the taunting banter. So feel free to throw whatever you can at me, Shinigami."

And that was the honest truth as The Beast of Karakura let out playful laugh. He was like a little kid in a candy store at this point as he used his powers in such a whimsical fashion. Yeah, they carried a heavy burden on his shoulders, but at this point -- what didn't? You may as well enjoy the ride and worry about the rest later. That seemed to be the motto that this fiery Yuudeshi was following.

Regardless, he'd let out a low whistle as The Beast started gauging the massive energy output coming out of Tsubasa's body. It seemed that the Unabara was finally beginning to take this a bit more seriously given the context of power that the Shinigami was about to put into his next attack. So -- Shadin would take the proper precautions as well. Thus, by accelerating the production of his own energy did The Yuudeshi then awaken his infamous speed. It all moved towards his feet at first before he almost teleported in the skies and left an afterimage to take the brunt of those atomic slashing hits.

After all, there was no point in wasting the resources of Imaginary Computation if he had momentum swift enough to keep some dimensional warpers on their toes. Nevertheless, he'd emerge roughly one hundred feet in the air and let out another sly whistle as he inspected the attributes and proprieties of that slash. If he had stayed put, that definitely would have left a mark. So he was rather impressed with the male and let out a jovial laugh as a result.

"Sadly, I don't plan to find out!"

That was the first shout that The Beast of Karakura made in regards to Tsubasa wanting to know what would happen to a person if they were cut atomically. The next was then surveying the area and taking notice that The Pale Rider seemed to be gathering a large sum of metal. Obviously his next means of attack was going to be following up with those atom slashing assaults. So, The Beast of Karakura understood that this was either going to be a rest of his abilities -- or a test of his ungodly speed. Either way, he was certainly putting on the heavy gloves and Shadin liked to see that!

"Nope. Nope. Nope."

Was all that beast could say as he saw the swords beginning to surround him. He'd probably be able to only use this move once this round to cover a short distance, but an escape was going to be needed! Hence, he'd utilize the forbidden kido: Kūkanten'i! In a flash of emerald green light, a spherical vortex appeared below The Yuudeshi's feet and he'd mentally enchant it's release in order to slide through the wormhole and evade capture within two blinks of the eye.

Then, roughly ten feet away from Tsubasa, would Shadin then emerge out of another eruption of gem green light. However, this time he'd be met with a tachyon-based sword coming straight for his gut. Seeing how there was little room to dodge this, Shadin aimed to simply minimize the impact the impaling would of had. Therefore, the sword was able to pierce through the barrier -- but most of its atomic seeking abilities were absorbed by the invisible shield as a sacrifice.

Ergo, by the time he was stabbed, it would be akin to simply taking a regular jab to the gut. Which, even of itself, could pose a problem if too much blood was lost. Therefore, The Beast of Karakura quickly took the blade out as blood started to ooze out of it. This warm sensation meant that this fight was now going to enter into its second round and that further excited The Beast. So much so that he licked the blood clean from the sword and grinned like a mischievous child.

"Oh? So you finally hit me? Good job. But no dice on the atomic slashing. Being a construct of modern art just isn't my style."

Luckily, in the area where Tsubasa struck, nothing vital was hit and it was merely a flesh mound more than anything else. So, this would make it possible to accelerate the healing his body underwent with the amount of nano-machines which were present in his bloodstream. They would quickly see to it that this wound was patched up, any abnormalities cleansed and even sowed up the damage done to his clothing. Granted, they couldn't replace the strain and energy lost when the barrier had its hole ripped open, but this was good enough for now.

The resources needed to repair the shield could probably stand to wait given his calculations. After all, the entire barrier didn't collapse -- only the frontal portion of it. So, Shadin more than likely just needed to make sure he made the most out of his sides and back until it could be restored. This then led to the conclusion that it would be wise to keep up the pressure and go on the offensive for the reminder of this round.

Ergo, in an explosion of blue and white light did the spiritual energy of Shadin Yuudeshi come to the surface. It was time to start making use of Imaginary Computation now that he managed to hold off most of his attacks fairly well. As a result, the eyes of Yuudeshi turned from their crimson red shade to a hue similar to ocean blue. This signified the awakening of his potential and he was ready to start throwing down some beastly moves The Unabara.

One, two, three -- FROOM!

That was all it took to bridge the gap between himself and Tsubasa. Even if he was a half mile away from this point, Shadin summoned the talents from his human, shinigami and demonic traits into a merger of absolute speed. Then, he'd take the kinetic energy gathered from this movement, converted it into spiritual power and used it placed his hand directly on The Pale Rider's stomach. This was important because he could stand to otherwise negate most of the static electricity being generated from Tsubasa's body. As, through Imaginary Computation, he simply extracted the values of his own body to apply his resistance to electric based attacks into a means of elemental negation. In turn, the maneuver he performed wouldn't require as many resources as the more complex functions of this ability could produce due to his familiarity with harnessing the power of lightning.

Moreover, the most important thing that mattered is that this influence could indeed slip into Tsubasa. Should this occur, then he'd be able to constantly null and negate his lightning from even surfacing for the next five post until his energy ultimately burned out and influence eased. As they would act as a constant nullifer to his electric capacities and hopefully serve to further weaken him in this fight. Since, overall, his goal was to cripple and then crush The Unabara.

Which is why he followed things up by delivering a hard punch to his chest. This then would cause The Yuudeshi to then activate the more tiring and complex task of harming him metaphysically. For, this strike was meant to corrode and restrict the influence of his Saketsu and Hakusui. These two were referred to as the primary source of a Shinigami's power. And, given the spiritual reach of Shadin's abilities, he yielded the capacity to mark them and either damage these chains or outright destroy them. This could then lead to Tsubasa being cut off from his supply of spiritual energy, or, at the very least, being rather restricted in his abilities and facing a lot more pain and difficulty in summoning his powers.

Of course, even if it was destroyed, it could grow back -- but not until other this match was over with. Thus, he'd then follow it all up with one last hurrah: an explosion of wind! By clamping both of his hands together, Shadin would move three feet away from Tsubasa and unleash a destructive current of air straight in the face of The Pale Rider. It would be enough to decimate these lands ten times over, but that wasn't the intent. Surely he could suffer broken bones, hundreds of cuts and massive blood lost; but there was something hidden in this torrent of gust that was more important -- particle absorbers.

By modifying the values of his reishi to be set to consume energy, Shadin intended to use this attack in order to also try and drain Tsubasa of his spiritual energy. This could then lead to his concentration being broken, speed lowering, defenses weakening and even the healing of his body being greatly diminished. In turn, this was a move to otherwise further take him out of the fight. As, without energy, what could he possibly do? He'd be forced to tap out and faint at some point as energy was the key to sustaining life in this universe. Without it, you were pretty much dead meat.

For this reason is why he gambled on this move before appearing atop a rockside nearby and surveying what would come of his assaults. Should be attacked in the midst of these attacks? Then tendrils from his backside would emerge and attempt to otherwise defend its master. They would be dense nature and comprised of the pure energy associated with Shadin's body. Therefore, they'd have his same level of durability and be able to fend off any surprise metal or sword attacks.

So, what was more important was making sure that the the male took some form of damage from these assaults. If not, then he'd simply have to turn up the heat further. That was the simple path The Beast of Karakura was intending to take on this battle. His blood was jumping, adrenaline pumping and heart racing. Mhm! He was feeling alive and he wanted to see how long The Pale Rider could keep up with him before the killing move was made.

This battle was moving fast and only time could tell which one would be the last victor standing as these mammoths of human and Shinigami kind clashed against one another.
