Chapter 48 - DOMAIN EXPANSION

After Kakashi was able to successfully land a deadly attack on Tomura, he was still moving with incredible speed as lightning flashed all over his body. He stopped himself by grabbing onto a pillar to stop himself before attacking Tomura.

Tomura was able to recover but Kakashi punched him back. Kakashi continuously jabbed, each punch stronger than the last.

Kakashi kept on attacking, his attacks were now faster, faster for even an upper-first-class demon regenerative ability. Tomura was now overwhelmed, he felt like he was about to pass out and Kakashi did not look like he was getting tired of pummeling him.

Kakashi's jab landed on his nose.

_It's a boy!, Congratulations!."

"Finally, I can't believe it."_

Kakashi punched Tomura in his left cheek.

_"I'm going to name him Haruto."

"I'm going to name him after my brother, Thomas."

"I want my son to bear a Japanese name."_

Kakashi landed another punch.

_"I want my son to bear an English name."

"Okay, what if you call him Haruto and I will call him Thomas, is that okay with you?."_

Kakashi landed another punch.

_"Sure."

"His going to be our clan's sunshine. He's going to save us all."_

Kakashi landed another punch.

_"Get out of my sight! You disgust me."

"What kind of cursed technique is that!, This is not my son."_

Kakashi continued with an unlimited series of punches.

_What the f*ck!. Is my life flashing before my eyes_ Tomura thought. _He's... He's more powerful than before, his attacks... Although he's using his fists, each time he punches me, it hurts, it hurts so much... Like I am being stabbed with that Enchanted blade again and again_

Even though Kakashi got the upper hand, he knew he couldn't go on forever. He'd been punching Tomura's face hoping that he would die but his arms were strained from moving them too fast, he was also slowly running out of Karma, he couldn't continue, there was only one way to end it.

_He is attacking faster than I could regenerate, without giving me any chance to counter but he can't keep going on forever._ Tomura thought. _even if it is just a second, I will be able to avoid his attacks._

Kakashi slowed down for a moment as he quickly charged his lightening on his palm and slammed against Tomura. But just at the final moment, Tomura bent down and split into two, each side of himself running the opposite direction.

_sh*t!, Which one is the real one?. I'm no good when it comes to sensing karma, I just have to observe_

The karma of the clone on the right became visible.

"That's it!" Kakashi attacked it with a karma-charged kick but it disintegrated, and his eyes suddenly became wider.

Before he could turn around, Tomura released a huge transfigured human in the form of a snake and it swallowed him whole.

"Lightning blast!" Kakashi quickly burst his way out through the creature's stomach. He looked around but couldn't find Tomura.

He walked to where he had kept the boy who was supposed to be the flame sage and carried him up, luckily, he was still breathing.

"Don't worry, I'm going to get you to safety. Just hold on a little bit longer"

He jumped out of the underground lot and landed on the battleground, Tomura was also there. Continuous screams were heard around the place, even though there was no one around.

_The other students must be fighting someone else, and will all the humans around, it's going to be tough to fight and keep them safe at the same time._

Kakashi kept the boy at the edge of the open area and looked around but couldn't find Kurumi transfigured body.

"Where you looking for this?" Tomura teased and opened his mouth to reveal Kurumi. "Hmmm, what she I turn her into? She is your friend, right?. You didn't do much when I killed the man, let me see what you'll do if I kill your friend"

Kakashi tightened his fist and quickly dashed towards Tomura.

_If I'm fast enough, I could save her before he will be able to activate his technique._ Kakashi tried to use his lightning flash technique but it wouldn't work. _I've wasted too much karma, I can't use it_

"I know the perfect use for this one" Tomura swallowed the transfigured Kurumi. "She is brimming with karma, it will be a waste if I don't absorb it!"

Tomura started laughing maniacally. Kakashi started running faster, his eyes became brighter and his hair suddenly became darker.

"Let's see how you handle this" Tomura grew two new pairs of arms. Each of them was making some kind of hand signs, just like Hibiki's but these were different. "Domain expansion: the embodiment of fear"

The atmosphere became darker as a black gluey substance started to cover up the place, Kakashi - who had just realized what was going on - tried to stop himself but he slipped due to his speed.

He was about to fall when he remembered what Hibiki had said to him during their boy's night.

# KAKASHI'S FLASHBACK (a few days ago)

"Kakashi, during your training with Yaze, did he tell you about domains?" Hibiki suddenly asked.

"No, I don't remember hearing him say anything like that"

"Yaze could be such a grandma sometimes," Hibiki remarked.

"What do you mean?"

"He might think, he's trying to keep you safe but he's not going to be your Sensei forever" Hibiki leaned back on the chair while Kakashi proceeded to change the CD from the CD player and insert another one.

"Huh?"

"Nothing, just thinking out loud. Anyways, u don't know how to explain it but a few examples might help"

"Might?"

"Think of it as a large maze which only you know the way around, and you lead the enemy inside and use that advantage to beat them no matter how strong they are"

"I don't get it"

"Hmmm, a domain is like a covered space that the caster controls. It is made with crystalline karma and used to cover the opponent in a space where the caster controls"
