Reku didn’t know who it was or what he trying to do, but he had to act fast. Thinking that only he could be the target, he immediately crossed his arms as Peregrinus blinked, putting up a shield to block the attack. It would protect him completely, due to the nature of the technique. Afterwards, Reku would use the blink technique and appear a few feet away from Peregrinus’s side. His breathing got heavier, having just narrowly escaped death.
Shield: Reku folds his arms on his chest and a yellow orb surrounds him, shielding him. Only last for one turn, and it can break if the pl of the attacker is higher than Reku's. Reku also cannot move, or do anything else while using this technique. 5 post cooldown
Karma was about to jump in and attempt to save Reku, but he was blasted before her eyes! Her jaw dropped, Reku was so powerful and he was destroyed in an instant. She would turn the the crowd of Saiyans and began speaking: "I don't know what thou call-est a King, but that man be-eth a fraud! He uses him own men to fight-eth his battles. Thy master be a coward! All who wish to Stand against him, raise thy hand!" She said all this in attempt to cause a coup among the Saiyan people. That's when she realized... Reku had survived
(sorry on mobile, and please tell me how the crowd reacts)
Seeing that he was alive, she let out a sigh of relief. She would turn back to the crowd professing "This man who opposes the king fights for thy freedom, he be-eth a benevolent ruler to the kind people of this world!" She would then prepare her damnation attack by breathing in the air around her.
The crowd would start to cheer, before falling deathly silent as Peregrinus pardoned himself for but a moment, taking said moment to run his sword clean through Quemon's brain.
"Now, I should look at you all as fools. But most importantly, you should feel a fool. You allowed the fight to prolong, and most importantly, you defied the rightful heir of the throne. You will know what a folly that was when I am through with you, and perhaps, more importantly, you will serve as a reminder to all others that my will is absolute."
Even with the difference in power being quite a lot larger than one would like to admit, Reku wasn't faster than Peregrinus by any noteworthy amount, and he charged forward, blade drawn, ready to slash open Reku's belly. But as the blade would have touched any part of Reku, he would have vanished, and instantaneously, he would be attacking from the opposite direction. And possibly the worst part of the deal, if this attack hit, it would hurt a lot. Perhaps more than someone as strong as Peregrinus should be able to hurt him. Definitely stronger than Reku himself could hit. And perhaps worst of all, where the blade would touch Reku, blood would pour, and there was nothing he could do about that.
Karma would spew Ki flames from her mouth at the Saiyan who attacked Reku attempting to distract him long enough for Reku to get a hit in. She would then shout to the crowd "This man is no king either! He simply stood there as thy people were being tormented by the bastard king! Join us in our battle! We shall free thy planet!" Encouraging the other Saiyans to join in the fight, she would then use her ability calling out "We are legion!" This would cause ten copies of herself to appear (hoping if the man attacked her he would hit a clone). "Charge men!"
Reku poured on his Shadow Cloak, adding to his defense as he raised his arm to hopefully block the sword. However, suddenly he saw Peregrinus behind him as the sword made contact and, due to their speed being practically equal combined with Reku’s reaction time when seeing almost everything, dashed forwards and dodged the attack. The cloak would immediately dissipate afterwards as he took a stance close to the ground, charging his attack.
The attack wouldn't have terribly long to charge, however, as a blow from the sword would seek to cleave his arm. Or rather, it was aimed at his arm until he blinked slightly higher up, with all the momentum from the sword, with the tip of the blade exactly where his eyes were, clearly intending to damage them practically beyond repair.
At the same time, as the Majin was starting to slightly annoy him, he used his off hand to engulf the space that the creature was occupying in a terrifyingly large bubble that was 16 times as powerful as everything in her body.
Karma would had a confused yet blank look on her face, as she found herself surrounded by a bubble. "Now, how am I to compose a rebellion from here..." Karma would ask herself watching Peregrinus face off against Reku. She would begin the punch the orb, only to see that it would not break. "Perhaps I hath been too confident in my abilities..." Karma would say to herself with a sigh. Following this, she would sit down in the bubble to continue watching the fight.
Reku, using his vision mastery, would know of Peregrinus's new position almost instantly. His technique was already at the read, and with his speed doubling, growing dramatically, he would initiate the power of the Raging Dragon. He would side step out of the way of the blow, evading the sword, before beginning a strike of his own. He would attempt to hit his opponent with the full force of the Raging Dragon. If it hit, Peregrinus would be taking over 10 times his possible defense in a straight attack, almost guaranteeing an instant kill on the Saiyan King.
Name: The Raging Dragon Technique or Trait: Technique Description:
(One Time Use per thread) The Raging Dragon is a technique that utilizes his very soul. The rage and hatred in his heart are manifested as a single, giant dragon that surrounds his body. He starts but assuming a stance with his soul starting out as a red, fiery, aura. Cracks would form in his skin, acting as the exit points for his soul to manifest. Once this is complete (1 post), he’d run/fly towards his enemy with blazing speed (Speed stat doubles). and the strength of the technique itself is 6x his focus (Can be used with transformations). He can keep this going for two posts before giving out. Once arriving at his target, he’d simply run into him/her/it, resulting an explosion that would blow the enemy away, and the target would be left stunned for one post after because of its sheer power. Afterwards, due to the stress of the technique, the user would be forced into his/her/its base form for ten posts, being lying down (stunned) for 5 posts, focus stat at 1 and endurance at 5, and the PL would be cut by 50% for the rest of the thread.
(I personally am of the opinion that what I am about to do is fucking stupid as all hell, and we shouldn't actually allow. I hope that this will open up the discussion for actually fixing this overpowered Duelist Island level bullshit technique.
But, in the mean time, Blink was ruled by B3 (after he started using it mind you) so that it could basically dodge literally everything by sheer virtue of being literally instantaneous (I could call shenanigans on Reku for dodging it by virtue of knowing where the attack was coming from almost instantly when the attack would have landed literally instantly, and whats more using the technique he charged the last turn to avoid an attack that would have broken the charge, but I won't because what I'm about to type is Bullshit of the highest tier, and explicitly legal in the system until we fix it, and also that would kind of invalidate his entire post, because cutting open his eyes would disrupt the charge on that.))
Peregrinus saw what had happened, with the challenger to his reign instantly dodging an attack faster than he should have been able to keep up with, and trying to attack him immediately afterwards. Fortunately, he was capable of doing much the same, and blinked to squarely the opposite side of the room, blinking to the other side every time the rampaging beast would start to approach him, glaring with a smug look on his face that told Reku everything he would need to do.
And as that happened, the energy around Karma rapidly imploded, in a method that would (if unchallenged) destroy every single part of her in an instant.
