Jin's fist collided with Raito's open palm midair.
BOOM!
The shockwave tore across the rooftop, shattering nearby walls and ripping chunks of concrete into the air. Windows burst. Steel screamed.
Every hunter froze.
Every high‑level observer flinched.
Raito didn't move.
Not an inch.
Not a breath.
Not even a blink.
Raito's grin widened—lightning flashing behind his eyes.
With a smooth twist of his body, he drove his heel straight into Jin's chest.
CRACK!
The wind itself shredded as Jin was launched skyward, spinning helplessly, his body tumbling like a broken marionette pulled by invisible strings.
Chichiro's breath caught in her throat.
"What… what kind of power is that?" she whispered.
"He's not even trying—and Jin is flying!"
Jin descended, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. He spat it aside, fury burning through the disbelief in his eyes.
Raito stepped forward.
