Chapter 28: Chepter 28 Kenzo'
While Tanmay dealt with Kurohiko, Rai faced off against Kenzo, the strategic mastermind of the Fallen Hives. The air was thick with tension as Kenzo's calculating gaze met Rai's, the two of them circling each other. Kenzo's calm demeanor contrasted sharply with Rai's unyielding intensity. "You think you can beat me, boy?" Kenzo's voice was smooth, almost mocking, as if this battle were little more than a game. Rai didn't respond with words. He responded with action. In an instant, Rai dashed forward, his speed almost a blur. Kenzo barely moved, but the way his eyes shifted told Rai everything he needed to know-Kenzo was analyzing him, studying every move. Rai's strikes were fast, sharp, and unpredictable, but Kenzo easily dodged each one with a grace that bordered on the su uralsupernatural. "You're quick," Kenzo acknowledged, his voice quiet but filled with underlying amusement. "But quickness won't win this fight." Rai's teeth gritted together. He couldn't afford to let Kenzo's mind games get to him. He increased his speed, moving faster, striking harder. But Kenzo was always one step ahead, his counters perfectly timed. Kenzo's tactical brilliance became clear as he set traps, drawing Rai into false openings, only to capitalize on the mistakes Rai didn't even know he was making. Rai was frustrated but determined.

"You'll never land a hit at this rate," Kenzo said, his voice calm, almost detached. "Your speed is impressive, but you're too predictable." Rai's mind raced. He knew Kenzo was right. He couldn't continue like this. He needed to break through Kenzo's strategies, find the flaw in his methods. He needed to think faster than his opponent. Rai's eyes narrowed. His family's legacy was built on the principle of pushing past limits-unlocking potential even when it seemed impossible. With a deep breath, Rai unlocked his family' ret technique- removing his limitsThe shift was instant. Rai's speed quadrupled, his reflexes became razor-sharp, and his body surged with newfound power. For the first time in the fight, Kenzo's calculated smirk faltered as Rai struck with overwhelming force, landing blow after blow. But Kenzo wasn't done yet. He immediately switched tactics, launching a powerful counterattack that put Rai on the defensive. Rai's increased power made him faster than ever, but Kenzo's precision still managed to land hits. This wasn't over. Not by a long shotThe final round of the battle was explosive. Rai's newly unlocked powers seemed unstoppable as he moved with a grace and fury that was almost supernatural. Each strike landed with thunderous force, and Kenzo was slowly starting to lose ground. Then, Rai heard it-voices. The desperate cry for help from Armaan and Neha, who were facing Alira in the distance. Rai's instincts kicked in. He knew he had to end this fight. With one final, earth-shattering blow, Rai landed a punch that knocked Kenzo to the ground, unconscious
