(What should I do... Right now he's starting to target Mika, after he's done with him he will come for me too... What should I do, run?)
Rio, who didn't know what to do after Derugo left him alone. He looks towards the end of the corridor, which might lead to their objective, but at the same time, he doubts if he will ever find it.
(No, I have to go chase Derugo and help Mika. Even if it means abandoning the objective, like that guy Ten said, objectives are only the reason that'll lead us to fight... Which is why there was never an objective at all!)
As Rio tried to move forward, he was suddenly stopped by a certain obstacle. Right now, he's currently in the 8th floor of the building. If anyone were to jump from that height, there is no doubt that there's never an end with only one or two bones breaking.
Rio looked down as if he were looking at the bottom of the sea. At that moment, he realized that his leg was trembling from looking at the high ground.
(Damn it! I totally forgot I was on the 8th floor! Should I use the stairs, I'm afraid I'll never be able to make it in time!)
Rio was hesitant to jump down, but he was also hesitant to use the stairs. Looking at his sword, Inazumei. Rio gulped his saliva as he moved forward.
(It's the first time I've tried this shit... I would be called the dumbest man if I were to end up dying from this. But I have no choice but to gamble this!)
"Pride Of Lightning And Thunder!" The flow of electricity begins to flow inside Rio's body, enchanting his raw strength, speed, and perception. Rio begins with jumping off from the 8th of the huge building.
The buff from the Pride Of Lightning And Thunder allows him to see far as if he were the Eagle searching for his prey.
(Right there!)
Rio caught sight of Derugo and Mika who were fighting each other. Second later, Rio sees Derugo block Mika's attack and pierce his heart at the same time. This led to Mika slowly losing his strength as he vomited the red, crimson blood from his mouth.
Rio's premonition was right if he was late for a single moment, Derugo would finish Mika at that moment. As Rio is still in the air, moving at great speed, with Inazumei in his hand, he aims the sword at Derugo, he was aiming to throw his sword to Derugo.
Despite his target being far away, Rio was confident. Confident enough to be able to hit his target because of the sense of feeling coming from the metal, Mechamer. Which is the conductor of electricity, which is why Rio was able to sense any metal object around him since his body was made of electricity at the moment.
Since Mechamer is already behind Derugo from Rio's point of view, it is the perfect angle for Rio as he throws his Inazumei to Derugo. The sword Inazumei made its way at a fast speed, soon after, Derugo was hit. As he looked at to object that pierced him from behind.
Rio on the other hand, opens his palm of the hand towards the sword. The two flows of electricity connected as if they were ropes attached to each other. At that moment, Rio traveled at a fast speed, right behind Derugo with the Inazumei in the palm of his hand.
"You're forgetting someone you lizard-looking fuck!"
(Thankfully it worked, like when I usually called Inazumei to travel upon my hand, I do the opposite and travel myself to Inazumei instead. Even if I were to miss Derugo at the moment, I would still be able to travel to his side...)
Rio tried to push the sword deeper, but at the same time, he noticed that Derugo's flesh was too hard which is why the wound on Derugo wasn't too deep. It barely pierced his flesh as a small amount of blood came out.
"Don't get ahead of yourself!" Derugo threw a backkick on Rio but he was able to evade thanks to his increased perception. Derugo pulled his hand out from Mika's chest. The hand that was covered in blood soon made his way to Rio.
It was too fast as all Rio could do was block it.
(Khhk, He's strong!)
Derugo pulled his hand that was blocked by the Mythril sword and threw it again. Soon to be a rapid hit as Rio was slowly sent to the back. Rio tried to counter-attack him but his attack that was imbued with electricity was futile as Derugo blocked it with only his arm.
Derugo saw an opening and threw the punch. Rio was only barely able to dodge it as he backed off. But Derugo didn't give any opportunity as he sent a rapid attack along with the kick as well.
Rio was breathing heavily as all he could do was block Derugo's attack...
(Khhk, this guy's moves are similar to Ryuma but faster! I can't find any opening at this rate if I keep a close distance from him!)
Thinking that, Rio proceeded to create the distance as he jumped from the destroyed rubble to another. Derugo feels irritated, the wings grow back from his back as he flies over to Rio.
"Where are you running at, COWARD?!!" As Rio was running, the electricity flowed stronger on Inazumei and Rio decided to use the range attack against Derugo.
"Thunder Slash!" The slash of electricity made its way to Derugo. But the effect is disappointing as it didn't even scratch Derugo a bit. Rio sends a few thunder slash to Derugo, but the damage is still the same. No scratch at all.
When Rio thought Derugo was getting closer and closer, the electricity was created in his empty hand, creating the ball.
"Thunder Ball!" Thunder Ball was a made-up ability Rio just thinking about a while ago. But its AOE was powerful as it just damaged the few concrete rubble around its target. Which is also slightly worked on Derugo.
"What?! I can't move my wings... And my body!"
