As the image of the Coin Hunter faded, Gogeta sat slightly slumped over in the small concave of the rock that Brachi had tossed him into. His blue eyes were half open, a pained expression covering his face along side the scratches and blood dripping from the corners of his open mouth. Having been caught completely off guard from the move and the power difference between his normal Super Saiyan Blue state and Brachi's Evolved form, Gogeta had been knocked down into his normal base form from the sheer damage.

He twitched a bit, and with the accumulated damage from the battle earlier waying too heavily on his body, he promptly slumped over and passed out once more despite the rings encasing his body.
 
The wearing effect grows stronger on the Coin Collector. Cross as looks at the ring to determine what it is.
 
Cuki watched as Brachi beat Gogeta down and seemed almost relieved to see him knocked out again. Her attention quickly returned to the Coin Hunter as she watched him get into a familiar stance followed by strange rings with symbols. At first, it did not dawn on her as to what was going on but the stance and the name followed immediately after was easily caught by her large ears. Her eyes widen as she felt her entire body go cold and shake from a wave of unfathomable anger. The girl's body began to leak out white energy that slowly began to consume her arms in a similar way she loses control of herself. This time, it was odd since she seemed to have better control. Was it her anger or the determination to save Zenta?

"Don't say his name..." Cuki said menacingly. The white energy oozed from her fingertips, creating large claws made out of pure energy. The air around Cuki got heavy as did her hostility. "Don't say his name... Don't you ever say his name..! Don't... say... his... NAME!"

Cuki rushed to the Coin Hunter at incredible speeds as she dragged her energy-claws on the floor. The look in her eye was that of a bloodthirsty animal, a complete opposite from how Cuki normally fights. The fact that she lost her Master already broke her spirit, now that she was witnessing another man stealing her master's abilities and using him as a toy to fight the Breakers. Her mind and body were already broken, but how Cuki acted now, showed her spirit breaking under the stress as well.

Cuki closed the gap between her and the Coin Hunter, her face mere inches from the Coin Hunter. Her eyes were thirsty for blood as she lifted her arms in the air, creating an explosion of debris. Unable to see the Coin Hunter from the dust she created, she swung her arms wildly with the intent to kill. For the first time, Cuki was fully aware of her actions and did not want to stop.

"I'll rip you to shreds if I must! Give Zenta back to me!"
 
Brachi blinked as the Coin Hunter had tricked her in using her assault on Gogeta, but what surprised her even more was when she watched Cuki going berserk on the Coin Hunter, watching for a bit to see what would happen next, while also keeping her guard up, her royal blue flaming aura soaring around her as she floated in place, while keeping a trump card for herself in mind.
 
From the smoking aftermath of the energy bombs colliding with the ground, Bernkastel emerged with parts of her body still frosted over, but the impact had gotten her free from her icy prison. Her face contorted into a scowl, she swung her arms forward, casting an offensive spell this time as crystalline shards merged with the magical energy to float around her body, turning into an array of long thin icy spears. She locked her sights on the Coin Hunter being hunted down by Cuki and made her move.

"You won't be so nimble once you're skewered like a pincushion!" Bernkastel uttered through gritted teeth. Spreading her arms out, the spears dispersed before they reappeared once more in the field within the Coin Hunter's radius, turning their direction toward him before flying through the air in a homing pattern. She withdrew a spear of her own to act as a fighting staff since a scythe wasn't any good in this type of battle. But of secondary concern were the strange rings out on the field. She had a bad feeling it wasn't going to be good.
 
Panich blinked slightly as Gogeta zoom passed her toward the battle at hand. There was no getting through to that one! She would be surprised if there was any brains at all in that head of his. But luckily she wouldn't have to try hard to get him away from the battlefield with the help of Brachi. But now his lifeless body was in danger along with the others.

This hunter was holding his own agains tthe Breakers. And it didn't seem like he was putting up a fight!  It pained her to watch, but what could she do against someone like this? Bending and shaping reality how he pleased.
 
Lucifer struggled to stand, taking a direct attack from Slayer’s beam. “He’s switching the coins too rapidly. We can’t fully make an opening if we don’t know anything about their abilities.” He noticed rings imprinted on the ground, expanding around them with the exception of Spina and Panich; the Hanzi embossed on nearly everyone’s bodies. His instincts were firing off warning signs in his head: escape. Listening to his instincts, Lucifer spread his wings and descend away from the ground to escape the field of rings to avoid the Coin Hunter’s next attack. 

In conjunction at Lucifer’s sudden urge to escape, the Coin Hunter did not waver at his movements. Standing firm as Cuki rushed at him in a bloodlust rage, the Coin Hunter moved his arms slowly, leaving afterimages, palms facing outward.

From the Breakers’ perspective, the Coin Hunter was simply moving his hands. But for Spina, his instincts caught the meaning behind such movements. An invisible, silent white aura underneath the draconic aura was boiling around him; white energy coiled around his fingers.

“Tiānlóng” [Heavenly Dragon]

The lights of the rings suddenly become bright. Spina’s body is firing signals in his head; outright seeing massive movements form the Coin Hunter’s attack. His mouth opened, shouting as loud as he could as he flew towards them. “Everyone! Dodge…!” But the words that came out of his mouth was loud and clear for Panich and himself, but everyone else, it was completely silent.

“Jīngshén” [Spirit]

The rings imprinted on their bodies shine like a diamond, the Coin Hunter moved his fight foot forward, turning his hands slightly down for to make an attacking position. In Coin Hunter’s perspective, everything went black; the only thing visible was the rings and the energy that taking the shape of the Breakers affected by rings.

“Huànxǐng!” [Awakening]

Energy is the strength and vitality required for sustained physical and mental activity. They are the very foundation basis of all life, of all things, of all living and nonliving. Powers, psychic, magic; all these methods of abilities are energy from their bodies. Nothing cannot function without energy. All energy flows in the center and flows throughout their bodies. If a person using energy wants to increase their strength in their hands; the energy flows towards that arm to give it more of an extra boost. It is critical for those who mastered their energy to use it in a way that won’t drain it too quickly; it will lead to immobility or death.

Thus, there are warriors that are train, built and sought to disable these energies by hitting their pressure points. Blocking certain pressure points of their bodies, prevent energy from flowing, causing the body part to go numb. However, a skilled warrior possessed the ability to outright disabled energy from flowing throughout at the center. Attacking the center flow takes extreme concentration, positioning and skill. Once successful, the center gets shut down and their entire bodies will become immobile; either mortals, undead, spirts, anything and their abilities, powers, magic, all of it, cannot be used—blocking their ability to recovered, restored, etc.

The Coin Hunter made his strike. He took a step forward and struck Cuki at the center of her chest. The energy shaped Cuki instantly shattered, reducing it into nothingness. In the sea of darkness, he moved in spectacular movements, attacking everyone in the ring-imprinted area, shattering their energy one by one; Bernkastel, Brachi, Slayer, Lucifer, Cross. Although he only needs to strike against their chest once, there were multiple blows imprinted on Gogeta. Returning to his position, the Coin Hunter retained his position; to the perspective Breakers, it looked like he’d haven’t move at all.

The blackness disappeared, returning things to normal as the spears slammed against the Coin Hunter’s armor; but the ranger did not move. He’d moved his hands around, dispelling anything that was placed on his body.

Lucifer narrowed his eyes, not realizing what happened. Before he can even utter a word in, his body shut down, the pupils in his eyes disappeared and dropped to the floor like a doll; immobile; his magic and energy vanished instantly.
 
For the mere moments the Coin Hunter had striked nearly every one of the Breakers, it was practically impossible for Bernkastel to forsee any of it. Before she could even process what the attack had done to her, she felt like everything that made up her being was basically purged from her actual body.

All she could let out was a groan as she immediately slumped over and backwards with any trace of her spellcasting having been completely wiped out. In one strike, dead center.

I... lost...? There's just no way! He... cheated... Bern's thoughts were the only remnant of awareness left as she fell backwards onto the ground. A plume of white smoke erupted upon her body's impact to the floor, but nothing came out of it. It was just a lone black cat with a purple ribbon tied to its tail, laying on the ground unconscious. Judging from the scruffy bristly fur on the back of its head that contrasted the rest of its neat fur, there was no doubt it was Bern, defeated to the point she was unable to even hold her girl's form.
 
Cross thinks as a contingency aviated on the Coin Collector "your not one with a cheep … out." It will inflect what the Coin Collector did to Cross back to the Coin Collector him self.

Cross becomes pile of bones and cloth on the ground.
 
Slayer felt the hit, his energy leaving him before he too fell. He couldn't even utter any words before his form attempted to break into the three souls forming the body.
