Chapter 893: The Perfect Sparring Partner
Since a battle had been chosen, victory must be decisively achieved. As for whether there was a misunderstanding between the two parties, that could be discussed after the battle ended.
From a true perspective that the Knight Captain could not see, Kazakiri Hyouka’s feet were deeply embedded in the mud, plowing two long furrows in the ground.
Her wavy hair fluttered freely, her clothes flapped in the wind, and faint electric sparks could even be seen shimmering on her skin.
Her Astral Dress was operating at full power, and her right fist, which had been bruised and bleeding from the head-on collision with the golden-haired suit man, was rapidly recovering.
“What a hard punch. Is this man also a monster?” Kazakiri Hyouka muttered.
She could clearly see that the opponent’s right hand was completely unharmed, and his expression was one of composure, seemingly unconcerned about ‘not being able to see the enemy’.
“Runzi-jie, you need to be careful, this man is very strong!” Shokuhou Misaki had already hidden to the side, watching the battle with Xiao Fei. “Even on a global scale, he can be considered among the strongest!”
“The strongest…” Kazakiri Hyouka asked, “Is he stronger than Lin Wuming?”
“Of course not as strong as Lin Wuming!” Shokuhou Misaki said without hesitation, then added for precision, “At least, he’s not as strong as him right now.”
If it were during the Halloween night in the original plot, when the Knight Captain received Angel Power from ‘Katina’ and was at his peak, he might have been able to pose a threat to Lin Wuming.
But the current golden-haired suit man… was probably still far from that level.
Strictly speaking in terms of combat power, the Knight Captain in his normal state was probably the dividing line between first-tier and super-first-tier—he should be the limit a ‘normal human’ could reach.
He was strong enough, but not so despair-inducing like those ‘non-humans’.
Because of this, after Shokuhou Misaki recognized his identity, she boldly decided that since a misunderstanding had already occurred, they might as well take this opportunity to have Kazakiri Hyouka fight him.
It would serve as an accumulation of combat experience and also a test of Kazakiri Hyouka’s strength at her peak.
With Shokuhou Misaki’s assistance, she could create a battlefield environment unilaterally favorable to their side—the Knight Captain’s will was very strong, and unless the External Brain was activated, even Shokuhou Misaki could not fully control his thoughts in a hasty situation.
Moreover, Shokuhou Misaki also held back and did not exert her full effort. After all, strictly speaking, the Knight Captain was not an “enemy,” so there was no need to push the situation to an irreversible point.
—It was just right to have him be Runzi-jie’s sparring partner.
In addition, Shokuhou Misaki also temporarily gave Kazakiri Hyouka a boost, allowing her to temporarily avoid the severe headache side effect caused by overusing her esper ability.
With no worries, Kazakiri Hyouka could freely activate her Astral Dress. In this state, Kazakiri Hyouka was infinitely close to Level 5.
With the ebb and flow, there was nothing to worry about in having Kazakiri Hyouka directly face the Knight Captain.
Kazakiri Hyouka, of course, would not question the Queen’s arrangements, nor was she fixated on a “fair and just” duel.
In Kazakiri Hyouka’s opinion, this man had attacked without reason, not only injuring Xiao Fei but also putting the Queen in danger!
Since that was the case, he was an enemy; against an enemy, one only needed to consider how to defeat him.
With her Astral Dress at full power, Kazakiri Hyouka, in a state of excitement, completely disregarded pain, unsparingly swinging her fists and kicks.
Each of her strikes erupted with an immense power far exceeding her past. If one hadn’t witnessed it, it would be hard to imagine that such terrifying commotion was created by a slender-limbed girl.
At least, the Knight Captain, who could not perceive his opponent through normal senses, firmly believed that the one engaging him in close combat was that evil dragon!
Because of this cognitive deviation, the Knight Captain’s most prized magic, ‘Solomon’s Art,’ could not function normally.
The Knight Captain found it difficult to eliminate the attacks from the evil dragon opposite him. Therefore, he was forced to rely solely on his own strength and physical prowess to clash with it!
A massive body brought immense power. In a bare-handed state, the Knight Captain realized that he probably could not defeat this evil dragon.
After throwing several more punches, the Knight Captain decided he couldn’t continue like this.
Not being able to see the enemy was truly troublesome. Even someone as strong as the Knight Captain worried about unexpected changes occurring in places he couldn’t see.
The magic sword ‘fragarach’ was the Knight Captain’s exclusive weapon. He was confident that as long as he drew his sword, he could quickly end this battle.
The Knight Captain sighed with emotion, he had not expected—that he would think of using fragarach in such a situation.
It was a deadly weapon that only came out when fighting enemies, possessing the special property of “the more enemies it kills, the stronger its power becomes.”
Therefore, once the magic sword was drawn, it meant the situation had escalated to another level.
It’s just… if he kept fighting like this, he might be the one at a disadvantage!
The Knight Captain pondered. He still couldn’t see the enemy’s figure, and he couldn’t even say how long the accuracy of his intuition would last.
Suddenly, the Knight Captain felt something, raised his arm to block the side of his head, followed by a huge force crashing into him.
It was as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed train. The Knight Captain’s sleeve burst open, and his body uncontrollably shifted several meters sideways.
Kazakiri Hyouka delivered a side kick, and as she gracefully retracted her leg, bio-electricity surged violently within her, repairing the damage caused by her recent furious attack.
“Runzi-jie!” Shokuhou Misaki watched from the side, feeling a bit of heartache.
Kazakiri Hyouka herself might not have cared, or perhaps hadn't even noticed—her right leg bone had indeed emitted a crisp cracking sound!
However, under the effect of her Astral Dress, this level of injury was commonplace for Kazakiri Hyouka.
Injured, recovered, then injured again…
Under this inhumane torment, Kazakiri Hyouka’s physical fitness was also rapidly increasing at an equally unscientific rate.
This was a special cultivation method that only Kazakiri Hyouka could use. For anyone else, repeatedly injuring the same part of the body would only make them weaker.
“Don’t worry, Queen!” Kazakiri Hyouka resumed her stance, her gaze never leaving the golden-haired suit man in front of her. “I’m fine. In fact, I’m in better shape than ever!”
Opportunities like this, where she could freely use her esper ability without worrying about side effects, were rare.
