"Since we already know who the participants are. Let the fight commence!"
The crowd cheered at this as they couldn't wait any longer and wanted the match to start! Everyone's eyes automatically glued to the two on the stage.
Surprisingly, it was Amelia who made her move first. She just charged rudely without even using any of her hunter abilities. After all, in her opinion, what she was fighting was just an upstart brat who still has milk on his lips. As for his reputation, in her opinion, they were merely exaggerated.
Caleb deployed his spiritual perception and his senses were on high alert. However, he noticed something. 'Damn... Why is she so damn slow?'
In reality, from the perspective of spectators, Amelia arrived beside Caleb almost immediately and sent a barrage of punches and kicks. Of course, the 8th-seat officers and above could still follow the movements with their eyes, but for the 9th seats, they only saw blurs.
"Amelia's really a veteran. She immediately exerted pressure on Johan so he wouldn't be able to move much. She's trying to control the flow of the battle. This is the difference of experience." A man in the crowd said.
On the stage, Caleb looked at Amelia's fists and kicks one after another, a bit speechless. They are moving in slow motion and he just needs one side step to dodge every three to four attacks. 'Hmmm... It seems I'm just moving too fast that the world feels slower to me. And it is probably because of my high-spiritual attributes that enhanced my information processing ability and reaction speed.'
As he was thinking, Caleb dodged another barrage of punches with ease. Still, was the gap between him and 8th Tier Offiers which was in the same realm as him that big? This is how big the combination of two power systems had brought to him. Well, if he thinks about it. He could already defeat Roger if he wants. What's more, a mere Destiny on the same tier as him.
"Damn it! Amelia is really something! This time, Johan would surely get suppressed. It's over for him."
"Do you have eyes? Didn't you see how Amelia struggles to land a hit? What's the use of powerful attacks when you can't even hit your opponent? It's akin to someone punching the air."
The crowd of scouts erupted into a commotion as they discussed heatedly the battle.
'Hmmmm... Blood wings?' Caleb finally showed an interest this time. 'Interesting. It seems this girl really deserves her reputation. Then, let me see if you would be able to force me to use 50%'
Under Caleb's gaze, the blood wings fully formed. Following that, Amelia lunged at him with a wicked smile on her face with an expression of 'You're dead.'
She disappeared in her place and Caleb could be sure that she was 2x faster this time. Caleb guessed that the blood wings weren't just for decoration since Amelia wouldn't have to take her time to such a useless move.
However, it wasn't enough to close the gap between their speed. After all, he was not only a Tier 8 Ghost but also a Grade 3 Taboo fighter. The superposition of the two power systems isn't as simple as 1+1... No, it was a comprehensive qualitative change.
Just like that, Amelia arrived on Caleb's left side and performed 1 and 3 combinations of punches that Caleb dodged using either a simple side step or timely ducks. As he was feeling the gust of winds brought by her punches, Caleb wondered if Amelia still had a trump card. The blood wings might have increased her movement speed, but not her attack speed. Why the hell is she smirking? Where did she get her confidence from?
Suddenly Caleb's eyes widened. At that moment, the question in his mind was finally answered. The blood wings behind Amelia elongated into what seemed to be Kagune from Tokyo Ghoul. Of course, he didn't really know how to call it and they are not really the same thing. Kagune is made from Rc cells while her wings are made of her blood. However, the function seems to be the same!
