"Ugh!"
"Hahaha! Don't you see the difference in our power now?!"
The King is pushing me back way harder than he's supposed to. Even with Fangaztaz support from a far, I cannot for some reason, do anything against the King. His Zero Edge is powerful. I cannot attack. Even blocking is made difficult with this thing. The King landed so many free hits on me while I cannot do anything due to the Nanotech...
BP Release would do nothing for now. I need to wait for a better timing... I need to get rid of the Zero Edge and prepare for the incoming Demonic Entity that's going to come in a matter of moment now...
'Situation, Leader.'
'Fangaztaz. Regroup with the rest of the party outside. I'm bringing the battle outside. Tell Blossom to keep an eye out for Mona. If possible, incapacitate her for the time being so that she cannot do anything stupid.'
'Understood. Kaixen is already on the move according to the information he told me. Mercy and Blossom are also ready to be sent out.'
'Good. Don't do anything to Mona. She might be the key to victory here.'
'Alright. I'll wait for you outside, Leader.'
With information out towards everyone... I looked at the King who's not showing any sort of weakness here... But, I do notices something... He's old. Even though he tries to act tough... His age forces him to stay out of the fight longer.
After a certain amount of rampage, he stopped to catch his breath...
That might be the timing we needed to deal damage... BP Release is needed to attack during that state...
Unfortunately, when he let out a weakness like this, that does mean that it's time...
"Come out now. Ruujin."
There it is...
The moment the king calls out that name. An immense pressure appear out of nowhere. Everyone in the party can felt that ominous feeling. The sound of something cracking can also be heard somewhere...
Before I notices it... Something has stood behind me... A cold, and sharp glint of a blade is ready to take me down... A demonic entity, has been released...
"Take out."
With a cold, natural and very empty voice... He muttered that... I immediately kicked my gear up a notch and jumped out. But Ruujin managed to clip me so bad. His black blade, made out of Zero Edge, almost cut me in half. The blade just managed to sliced my chest wide and deep...
"f*****g hell!"
I immediately use Phantom Flicker to get out of the room after realizing that half of my health has been taken out in a single hit...
That f*****g Zero Edge Blade is so hard hitting that it wounds me! I never expected anything to be able to do such damage to my gears...
"OneSec!"
The first one to come to my aids is Kaixen. Who's been warned by Fangaztaz that something is bound to happen. Of course, I immediately correct my posture and went on a two person formation with him.
"Are you good?"
"Yeah. The attack cut me deep, but I managed to get away..."
We both looked at the hole in the wall. We looked at Ruujin who's creepily staring at us. I use my my skills to see what possibility are next... I decided to use Future Vision right now straight away because I don't have the leeway to use the other eye...
The first thing I saw is pretty disturbing. Ruujin has taken out Kaixen. I immediately focused up and prepared to block anything that is coming our way. With me knowing the outcome of that, it's possible that Ruujin might change his thought to kill me instead. After all, I'm a bigger threat. Let's see...
"Kaixen. Prepare."
"Sure."
Without waiting... Kaixen immediately take his stance...
"Blade of Serenity."
Tons of Swords appear all around Kaixen. Making some sort of barrier around him that is ready to block anything that comes its way. But it's no use. Ruujin can still take him out... But at least, with Kaixen doing that, it leads him to a false sense of security. Making Kaixen an easier target that Ruujin will be focusing on rather than me who's definitely a bigger target...
"Ruujin... Take them both out."
"Understood."
It's coming!
As expected, Ruujin managed to get past through every single Blade of Serenity that Kaixen has set up. Kaixen isn't faltered however... He immediately thrust his blade forward anticipating that this might happen. He looked at me the same moment he thrust his sword...
"Intense Suffering!"
I immediately covered all area around Ruujin with Intense Suffering so that he cannot move away easily... I immediately follow through with Phantom Flicker at a timing. When I appear right beside both Ruujin and Kaixen who's in a stand off... With Ruujin going to win this because his blade formed right on Kaixen neck...
"Oh no you don't!"
I immediately block that Nano blade before it hits Kaixen Neck... Ruujin jumped back because I blocked his attack. But, instead of triggering my Intense Suffering... It disappears and reappear right outside of our laid out attack...
"Tch! That guy is very slippery... What to do now, OneSec? We cannot deal any damage to it!"
"What to do indeed..."
I tried to stay calm. But Kaixen knows that I can't. So he just take the guard and let me think for a bit...
I immediately use this time to think.
The movement that Ruujin have is similar to my Phantom Flicker. With proper timing, he can dodge everything. But his movement is better. His flicker has way more range and also is faster. Making it harder for me to catch up to him because of the difference in speed and range...
Kaixen knows that and are very afraid of the fact. My flicker is already so hard to deal with. To think that there's something better than me, is definitely very eye opening...
"Are you ready now? OneSec?"
"Well... I am ready now..."
Interestingly, I am not really that down. In fact, I see this as one of the moment given to me to awaken my skill. Just like my Dark Thorn, this moment will gives my Phantom Flicker the awakening version. That is going to be better than Ruujin movement...
I only have one shot to do this. So, I need to do it perfectly.
"Let's go. Kaixen."
