The absolute speed ability ans the stronger the opponent, the stronger you beco! As long as his magic and physical condition allowed, his speed would absolutely surpass his opponent's!
He lifted his foot.
A fierce wind seed to erupt upwards!
All sounds faded away from his ears, as if entering a domain where ti itself stood still.
With a light step, the world before his eyes distorted—traveling over hundreds of ters with a single step at a speed exceeding thousands of ters per second, he lost sense of where he was.
"Too fast!"
Eiji struggled to maintain control.
This ability had a huge flaw: once set to surpass the opponent's speed, no matter how much he tried to restrain himself, he couldn't slow down.
"Ouch!"
Only after stepping forward did he belatedly feel a burning, searing pain all over his body.
Due to intense air friction, his clothes were instantly tattered, and his exposed skin visibly reddened.
"Am I being roasted alive?"
Without the setting to allow shape changes, he should've at least suffered severe burns, yet even so, the pain relentlessly assaulted his nerves.
The searing pain burning his nerves paradoxically made his mind clearer than ever before.
Eiji's thoughts spun rapidly.
He had to decide the outco as soon as possible!
He shifted his gaze to the not-so-distant Renren, who was still sprinting at high speed.
"Wait, even I can't control this speed, and Renren's reflexes aren't as good as mine, so she—"
A flash of insight struck Eiji's mind.
So that's why she keeps running in circles!
If that's the case, it's much easier to handle!
He closed his eyes.
Instead of trying to rely on nerve reflexes to control this godlike speed, which despite his improvent still couldn't handle thousands of ters per second, he cut off all sensory input that couldn't keep up—vision, hearing, everything—and entrusted his focus entirely to instinct.
Boom————!!
The sound of spring thunder arrived belatedly.
His rushing figure stirred a long tail of wind like a cot's tail.
In a re instant, he crossed hundreds of ters and caught up to the circling Renren!
At that mont, his expression was as calm as a still lake, driving his blade straight into her.
Crash——!!
Like a teor crashing to earth, a massive shockwave blasted out, sending both figures flying backward, carving a hundred-ter-long trench on the ground.
Renren tumbled chaotically.
But her footsteps didn't slow; the speed accumulated in her legs only increased without hesitation.
That was not her will.
Her eyes were vacant, and fresh blood poured constantly from all seven orifices—eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
It was the person controlling her from behind who kept stimulating her brain, forcing her to keep running.
"Really? Soone can actually keep up with this speed?"
The puppeteer was dumbfounded.
An attack at three tis the speed of sound wasn't impossible—top-tier fighters in the world could do that.
But to increase running speed to three tis the speed of sound? That was absurd!
Even Tomaru Renren's speed ability only reached that level with his help, yet this guy had reached such speed all on his own!
He had truly encountered a monster here?
Could this guy also be a world-class powerhouse?
"Hehe, but it's useless!"
The puppeteer laughed happily.
Even after being struck at three tis the speed of sound, Renren showed no severe injuries.
Looking closely, a dense layer of fine threads was woven around her body, interconnected like a spider's web.
That was his Black Widow.
"Though it's controlled remotely, this stuff is completely different from ordinary magic threads—this is my device. You can imagine its hardness, right?"
Though both are threads, the hardness of magic threads can't compare to the spiritual weapon's threads.
However, the device's scale is limited—usually used only to connect his most important bases, while magic threads spread out from those bases.
"Pft!"
Just as he smugly thought this,
Renren's body suddenly trembled violently, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He paid it no mind.
Because when he kept stimulating her brain, she had already vomited blood more than ten tis from overload. This was just another sign she couldn't endure it.
But her endurance or lack thereof didn't concern him. In fact, seeing the puppet suffer only made him feel more delighted.
"Pfft!"
But in the next mont,
Renren's body suddenly stiffened like a rusted machine.
More fresh blood spilled from her mouth as her legs uncontrollably collapsed to the ground, and her body was launched like a cannonball, crashing into the distant rocky forest and sending debris flying everywhere.
"Hm?"
The Puppeteer tilted his head in confusion.
What happened? Why did she suddenly kneel?
"Looks like you don't understand."
Eiji cracked a smile and stood up from the ground.
Pain kept radiating through his body, but a victorious grin appeared on his face.
"Understand what?"
"Of course, the brain, idiot!"
Eiji raised his hand and pointed to his head, flashing a bright smile at his opponent, uttering harsh words.
More precisely, her brain and body were out of sync.
Renren's maximum controllable speed was about twice the speed of sound. At that speed, aided by her ability's characteristics, she could barely launch attacks.
In fact, she did have a double sonic-speed Blazer skill called "Black Bird," but nothing beyond that.
At three tis the speed of sound or more, even Renren herself couldn't control her speed.
That's right—her neural reflexes were insufficient for complex movents at triple sonic speed.
The reason she kept running in circles was because with her reflexes, she could only barely manage to run circles.
Trying to attack at that speed?
Her accuracy would be completely inadequate!
She might swing a kick, only to miss by dozens of ters—the attack would completely miss!
Even Eiji had to rely entirely on instinct to produce attacks with enough precision.
Because the Puppeteer behind her forcibly stimulated her brain, causing a disconnect between her cognition and body. Her brain simply couldn't control such extre speed!
So, the solution was simple.
One slash was enough.
Black Widow? It was useless. If anything, those threads beca conduits for force transmission!
One slash and the tendons in Renren's legs were destroyed—she would naturally collapse to the ground.
And given the nature of her ability, once her speed hit zero, the fight was over.
