The childlike wonder {96}
From his vantage point above, Kenzo's keen eyes observed the evolving dynamics of the battle. As Kashimo adapted and shifted the rules of his technique, the expected lightning strike transformed into a relentless barrage of fists. It was a subtle alteration, yet one that proved effective in its consistency.
Kenzo's gaze remained fixed on the unfolding spectacle, recognizing the strategic brilliance in Kashimo's adjustment. Instead of relying on a powerful but singular strike, Kashimo opted for a continuous onslaught. While each individual punch may have dealt less damage, the cumulative effect of a fifty-hit combo created a relentless assault that Mahito found challenging to evade.
The more hit Kashimo land,the more positive charge Kashimo land on Mahito and that also mean his negative charges on himself would be also attracted toward Mahito,turning this into basically an infinite combo that Mahito needed to escape.
As Kashimo's relentless barrage continued, Mahito found himself in a precarious situation. The creative and ever-adaptable Cursed Spirit needed a solution to break free from the seemingly infinite combo that Kashimo had unleashed upon him.
Using his transfiguration abilities, Mahito decided to manipulate his own form to counteract the accumulating positive charge. As Kashimo's punches landed, Mahito began altering his body at a rapid pace, turning parts of it into rubber and other insulating materials. This strategic use of transfiguration served a dual purpose – it not only lessened the impact of Kashimo's punches but also disrupted the magnetic attraction between their charges.
In doing so, Mahito skillfully navigated the complex dynamics of the electromagnetic forces at play. By adjusting the properties of his body with each strike, he created a temporary repulsion to counterbalance the accumulating positive charges. This allowed Mahito to evade the predictable cycle of attraction that could have turned the combo into an endless loop.
Mahito's creative and adaptive approach showcased his mastery over transfiguration, providing him with the means to break free from the potential infinite combo.
Despite the challenges presented by Mahito's adaptive transfigurations, Kashimo's excitement only grew. The fact that his opponent remained resilient and continued to respond to each punch with creative adaptations thrilled Kashimo to the core.
A wide grin spread across Kashimo's face as he reveled in the ongoing battle. The unpredictability and ingenuity displayed by Mahito fueled Kashimo's enthusiasm. For a battle junkie like him, the thrill lay not just in overpowering opponents but in the dynamic exchange of techniques and strategies.

In the midst of their intense battle, Mahito made a daring move, rushing towards Kashimo with outstretched hands. In a fleeting moment, their palms connected, and Kashimo felt the distinct sensation of his soul being transfigured. Reacting swiftly, Kashimo kicked Mahito's hands away, creating a brief distance between them.
"Ow man, I thought I had it this time!" Mahito remarked in a playful, childish tone, seemingly unfazed by the exchange. The dangerous dance between them continued, each move carrying the potential for soul-altering consequences.
The stakes were high, and Kashimo couldn't help but relish the perilous nature of their confrontation. As the battle raged on, both combatants sought openings and exploited vulnerabilities, fully immersed in the thrill of the fight.
As Kashimo relentlessly pressed his assault, he charged towards Mahito with unwavering determination. Seizing the opportunity, he aimed a powerful strike at Mahito's head. The crafty curse, however, effortlessly evaded the attack by detaching his head, allowing it to float momentarily before seamlessly returning to its rightful place.
The battle between Kashimo and Mahito unfolded with an almost playful intensity, resembling a clash between two formidable forces. Kashimo's strikes were met with Mahito's agile and unorthodox defenses. Like a child engaged in a spirited game, Mahito blocked and countered, exhibiting a deceptive sense of innocence.
Suddenly, Kashimo executed a well-timed kick, dislodging Mahito's defensive stance. Following up with a forceful punch to Mahito's chest, a distinctive black imprint emerged on the curse's torso. The exchange of blows intensified, each strike leaving its mark on the battlefield and contributing to the electrifying atmosphere of their ongoing battle.
Mahito, sensing the urgency and pressure from Kashimo's relentless assault, decided to unleash his most formidable technique. As he uttered the words "Domain expansion Self-Embodiment of Perfection," intricate hand seals manifested within Mahito's mouth, signifying the initiation of a powerful and dangerous curse technique.
The atmosphere around them began to distort, and an eerie energy enveloped the surroundings.
Kashimo, now in the zone and fully focused on his relentless attack, noticed the sudden shift in the air. However, before he could fully comprehend the situation, the effects of Mahito's Domain expansion started to take hold. The battlefield transformed into a nightmarish space, and Kashimo felt the immense pressure of a curse technique that transcended the boundaries of conventional combat.
Kashimo, quick on his feet, utilized the power of Hollow Whisper Basket to nullify Mahito's Domain expansion's sure hit effect. The nightmarish space that once seemed to guarantee a devastating blow was now null and void against Kashimo's cunning ability. Seizing the opportunity, Kashimo closed the distance and intensified his assault on Mahito.
Within the distorted realm of Mahito's Domain, the two engaged in a fierce exchange of blows. The enhanced powers granted by the Domain expansion turned Mahito into a formidable adversary, matching Kashimo's speed and strength. The battlefield within the Domain became a chaotic dance of curses and lightning-fast strikes, each combatant pushing their limits to gain the upper hand. The clash between Kashimo and Mahito reached a new level of intensity as they navigated the surreal space created by the Domain expansion.
