Rikudo Chapter 166 Spoilers & Manga Raw

In the center of the ring, the light in Riku Aza's eyes never wavers. The immense pressure exerted by the champion has transformed into a lethal weapon, carving away at Riku's very existence. The curse of 'pain,' ingrained since his father's death, has become his only proof of life and ultimate salvation. As their blows intersect, the roar of the crowd fades, replaced by a quiet, violent intimacy. Neither the calls from his corner nor the whispers of ghosts from his past reach him now. This chapter lays bare the depths of the champion’s isolation. His victories are merely monuments built upon the despair of others. In contrast, Riku’s strikes are devoid of hesitation. This is not a hunger for victory, but a silent rebellion against a world that continuously denies his existence. The match has evolved beyond technical exchange into a war of attrition. When the next blow lands, whose life will flicker out first? This grim dance will not end until one of them collapses.
