Chapter 292

Rin and Kaiser keep dueling. Kaiser reads Rin as a destroyer bent on wrecking his link with Isagi and decides the only path to a goal is to master his own greed. Watching Hiori and Karasu battle, he also notices Isagi tearing forward unmarked. Kaiser reasons that if he and Isagi warp Rin's field of vision together, Rin will be forced to pick just one of them to shut down, handing fortune to whoever he spares. He senses that he and Isagi are arriving at the same plan without a word, and he finds the whole thing exhilarating.

Ness lags behind the trio, replaying Kaiser's cruel verdict that he has become unwanted and that Isagi has stolen his Kaiser. Chewing on those words, Ness wonders whether he too must transform. He recalls first taking up soccer with Kaiser and the spell Kaiser cast over him, then decides he must bid farewell to that old Kaiser and to his old self. His aura ignites as he surges forward.

Unable to shake Karasu, Hiori sees Isagi, Kaiser, and Rin bunched ahead of him and knows the timing will be everything. Rin recognizes that Isagi and Kaiser work like a seesaw, one always breaking free as he covers the other, so he accepts he can only destroy one and must gamble. Hiori darts sideways past Karasu and, forced to choose, aims his pass at Kaiser. Rin picks Isagi to annihilate, exactly the guess behind Hiori's decision. As Kaiser nears the ball, Shido cuts in, telling him that being spared by Rin only makes him prey, and heads the pass away. Delighted, Charles chases the loose ball, but Kunigami crashes in with a header of his own, and the ricochet is left to chance as it drifts toward Rin and Isagi.

Isagi and Kaiser try to break Rin by sprinting past him on both flanks to warp his sight. Rin accepts he can only block one and chooses Isagi. Having anticipated that pick, Hiori sends his pass toward Kaiser. Shido intercepts the delivery with a header. Kunigami then denies Charles the loose ball, leaving it to chance.
