Reizen, who was standing in front of me, quietly took a stance.
I also unseath the kageorochi.
Slave mark …….
As long as it is there, this guy will have to keep fighting.
I’d like to find his master and get rid of him somehow, but for now, I think I’ll have to neutralize him first.
I am the only one who can stop him.
That said, …… and probably I’m the only one here that can kill him..
I’m only going to incapacitate him.
With that in mind, I decided to fight.
Reizen lowered his posture and lunged as if to leap out of the way.
In close combat, Reizen has an overwhelming advantage.
It would be unwise to face him frontally.
However, they were on a roof.
It would not be possible to gain good manoeuvrability on a foothold that was always at an angle.
Apparently, Reizen was the same way, moving slower than usual.
But for some reason, I was able to move like usual.
It felt nostalgic.
With a light step, I moved backward.
Just by doing that, I was able to keep a certain distance.
Of course, Reizen, who was running at full speed, was faster than me, so if I kept going like this, the distance between us would be completely closed.
“[Explosive Fist]!”
Reizen, who has a total resistance, released his explosive fist at his feet, gaining mobility.
Reizen’s sudden approach took me by surprise, but I tried to deal with it calmly.
The second explosion fist was unleashed.
If someone were to take it at close range, it could be fatal or seriously injure them.
“[Water shield.]”
The water shield is dug into Reizen’s fist.
The explosion occurred in the water, and the power of the shield was rapidly reduced.
He tried to pull his fist out immediately, but it would not be so easy to let go.
By manipulating the burst water and the remaining water, I pinned Reizen to the spot.
“This is going to hurt a little bit!! Clench your teeth!!”
I clenched my fist while screaming.
With his fist clenched tightly and firmly, I hit Reizen in the face with all my might.
“[Wave Fist]! Shockwave version!”
“GHA-!?”
The damage was dealt normally, thanks to the defense penetration.
The shockwave was delayed for a moment and blew Reizen’s body away completely.
It appears that the defense penetration can also ignore resistance.
If it were this much of a blow normally, Reizen’s resistance and shock would have been enough to nullify it.
It would indeed kill Reizen if I used the rupture and the internal disturbance wave, so I went as easy on him as possible.
That’s probably the best I could do.
After rolling on the roof several times, he fell off the roof.
I jumped down after him.
I’m a little worried about the rest of the guys, but …… you know, …… I’ll hold this guy back.
“Fufu, hahahaha ……”
“What’s wrong, buddy? Looks like you’re having fun.”
“That really hurt, bro.”
“Obviously.”
After standing up quickly, he brushes off the dust from his clothes.
Pain is something normal for him.
Rather than something normal….. that was quite some damage for him for a long time
He rubs his cheek and smiles again.
He stretched and lightly jumping to see how his body was feeling.
“……Ouren-aniki,……. I’m really sorry …….”
“I’ve heard the story. No need to apologise, since all of your movement is …… controlled by the slave mark.”
“That’s right. It would be meaningless if I, who should be able to contribute to everyone, was sleeping.”
Reizen bowed his head.
Even if his movements are restricted by the slave mark, he is able to communicate at least a little bit.
After that, he …… quietly took a stance.
“……Please forgive me,……!”
You don’t know what will happen to Prince Kreis if you don’t do it, do you? That’s fine, then.”
“……”
“Moreover,……”
I drew my Kageorochi.
I deployed Water Spear Volley around me, and pointed its tip to Reizen.
“I’ve always wanted to fight seriously once.”
“I’d take you on if you’d told me.”
“I’m sure you’d go easy on me.”
“Y-yeah, maybe. ……”
“Right?”
There are only a few people who can match Reizen in close combat.
Someone with excellent control of their body language.
Most of the attack can’t get through Reizen’s defense, and he also moves as if he’s flying around.
