" Death God Roland, the Empire's strongest assassin, really lives up to his name…This monster…I didn't expect him to return to the Imperial Capital at this time. As an enemy, he's really an unprecedented problem. Looks like I have no choice but to contact that woman, Aiders.”
Thinking back to the terrifying move he had just used to suppress himself, Bude clenched his fists tightly. The intense pain was still lingering in his body…The blood in his body was also churning.
In the past, Bude and Roland didn't get along very well. He always used some trivial reasons to find trouble with Roland. This hadn't changed until now. As the strongest in the Empire, he naturally knew what kind of move it was.
The Countdown Jab was one of the 108 secret skills of the Death God Roland, the Death God of the Empire. This jab was not as simple as gradually reducing the number of fingers, but each strike was combined with a special force and thousands of changes. It was one of the 108 secret skills of the Death God Roland, which could penetrate any enemy's defense line.
There were only four moves in this move, and all four moves had to be completed within 0.1 seconds. Each attack had to be focused. If the combat power of both sides was expressed as a percentage, then the battle would be based on the distribution of defense and attack power.
[Imaginary state: To defend against the attack of Countdown Jab 4, you need to reserve 20% of your strength for defense and 80% of your strength for attack. To defend against the attack of 3, you need to reserve 30% of your strength for defense. To defend against the attack of 2, you need to reserve 50% of your strength for defense. To defend against the attack of 1, you need to reserve 90% of your strength for defense.]
Because the law of progression of this move's attack power and the changes in the attack technique were too complicated, it was impossible to completely analyze it, making it difficult to defend. To put it bluntly, this move was to force the opponent to use most of their strength for defense before understanding the law of this move. It was a move that fought for the initiative to attack, hiding the killing move in a feint attack, making it impossible to guard against.
To put it simply, the strength of the punch remained the same, but the area of impact decreased and the pressure increased. The power of the punch naturally increased layer by layer. The essence of the Reciprocal Jab was that each punch corresponded to a different defense method. With each additional punch, the damage of the attack would stack. Therefore, no matter what kind of defense method this move used, no matter what kind of defense strength it had, it could completely disintegrate it.
This was the real reason why General Bude couldn't defend against Roland's attack and could only use his body to withstand all of Roland's attacks. Because in that case, no matter what kind of defense he made, it would definitely be broken through. And there were actually 108 such terrifying moves in total. Just thinking about it made one's heart turn cold and shudder. This was the strength of the Empire's strongest assassin!
Bude was sure that if he hadn't been wearing an Imperial Relic which had neutralized part of the power of Roland's Countdown Jab, he wouldn't have been able to stand up even if he hadn't died. He would probably have to stay in bed for a long time to recuperate. If they were to compare killing, then Death God Roland, who was proficient in the mysteries of the human body, was definitely far better than him and that woman, Aiders.
Of the 108 secret skills of Death God Roland, even Bude only knew a few of them except for the Countdown Jab. This was because Roland didn't interact much with him when he was in the Empire and had always been in charge of dealing with the dark incidents in the Empire. However, Bude also knew another one of the 108 secret skills, called Soul Power, which seemed to have a rather special ability.
"Ahem…Mmm!! S-Damn it…I really miscalculated this time…"
Suddenly, Bude's body twitched slightly. Then, he immediately raised his head and covered his mouth. Red liquid slowly seeped out through the gaps between his fingers and dripped onto the ground drop by drop. It seemed that even though the Thearch Relic had slowed down the power of the opponent's attack, Bude seemed to have suffered a serious injury. He clenched his right hand that was covered in blood!
" There won't be a next time. Death God, I will definitely pay you back for what you did today!!』
----------------------
Roland was running through the dense streets and alleys with two guns in his hands. He was constantly pulling away from the brightly lit and noisy palace behind him at an extremely fast speed. Roland naturally knew that the palace must have been in a mess now. In fact, if Bude had not joined in, Roland could have done it without anyone noticing. So, all this was because of that old stubborn guy!
Roland found an excuse for himself and nodded in satisfaction. Although he didn't find the Supreme Emperor relic this time, he had gained something. At least he could confirm that the Supreme Emperor relic wasn't in the secret chamber of the royal palace. It was very likely that it was in the hands of the minister, and it happened that the annoying old stubborn man suffered a great loss. Even Roland couldn't help but laugh silently.
" Oh, oh, oh, oh…Roland, you look very happy. You clearly didn't find a Supreme Thearch Relic, ah! Reina understood. Could it be because she had successfully beaten up the stubborn old man?”
"Reina, don't you understand? There was no need to be so direct, right? But it's true that I've never liked that stubborn old man. It's a relief to be able to beat him up this time…Forget it, that guy won't chase after us anyway. Let's gather at the square. Shayou and the others should have finished their mission and are waiting for us there."
"Understood."
After Roland dashed into an alley, the alley emitted a faint white light. When Roland came out from another exit of the alley in the next second, Reina had already changed from dual gun mode to human mode. The two of them held each other's arms, their bodies close together, and strolled toward the square like lovers talking and laughing.
No one would have thought that the criminal who caused such a ruckus in the Imperial Palace would be this pair of young lovers who seemed to be in love. A large number of members of the Imperial Guard quickly ran past Roland and Reina with anxious and panicked expressions, not suspecting that the two of them were criminals at all. It seemed that they had discovered that their captain, Oka, had died a tragic death.
