Chapter 376: Feeling
In the next moment, blood began to gush from Reca's arms as some wounds in the shape of claws appeared on them. At the same time, the opponent appeared behind her and then turned around.
"What the fuck was that?" Jori asked. "Did you see him moving, Rain?"
"No," Rain replied while squinting his eyes. "Still, it seems that he has a technique that boosts his speed to the limits, and it must be connected to the black lightning."
While Rain didn't see it, perhaps he could have seen it if he had used Limit Breaker... he wouldn't do that. Just watch a fight, of course. In any case, he had some confidence in his guess since the enemy should have been able to cause deeper wounds if the technique boosted anything else aside from his speed.
There was also the fact that if he was only able to attack twice, his speed conditions were rather limited.
In any case, Reca turned around while showing annoyance in her face. When she was attacked, Limit Breaker was active, so her defenses improved as well... she felt like she probably wouldn't be able to move her arms if her defenses weren't that high.
Without thinking any more than that, Reca charged again and then thrust her spear at the opponent... it felt like her spear suddenly had become ten for the audience. Still, the black tiger effortlessly dodged those while looking at the tip of the spear without losing his focus.
Before long, Reca was forced to stop since her stamina had already taken a huge fall by that sequence of attacks... she didn't like to think too much about it during fights. Still, at that point in time, she couldn't help but accept that the opponent was much faster than her, even at her best.
Jori was also aware of that, but he couldn't think that Reca actually would accept in her mind her own weakness. She trained hard and got strong, trying not to think of them and focus solely on her strengths, after all.
While Jori was thinking about that, he saw Reca silently looking at the adversary. She was annoyed, but she wasn't enraged, and she wasn't planning on doing anything reckless... at the very least, she realized that she was slower than the opponent even while using Limit Breaker, and that was something.
The opponent got caught that Reca could be trying to buy time and think of a plan by not doing anything, so he decided to attack again. Just like before, he disappeared, but then Reca spun her spear in front of her while clicking her tongue... in the end, that didn't stop the attack, and Reca was pushed away from her spot as she felt the heavy blow on her spear.
However... her wounds were hit, but they didn't suffer as much damage as before...
Jori found himself in a state of shock as he observed Reca adopting a defensive stance during her battle. This was a surprising departure from her typical combat style, which leaned heavily on offense rather than defense. While she had certainly blocked attacks before, actively prioritizing defense to buy time was a novel approach for her.
Jori couldn't help but wonder what had triggered this change in strategy. It left him both intrigued and somewhat puzzled as they continued their fierce combat... it wasn't like he couldn't understand it, but he never thought that she would change like that.
"I see... so it is like that, huh," Reca thought and then smiled.
Reca turned around and saw the opponent behind her turning as well. He was truly fast, but his speed truly had some limits; if he was impossibly fast, he would keep attacking nonstop until Reca falls covered in wounds.
If he was insanely faster, he wouldn't have to turn around like that... if his speed was impossible to beat, he would have avoided Reca's spear and hurt her just like usual, but that didn't happen. In the end, Reca took a deep breath and began to focus... using her head wasn't so bad; it made her feel smart.
