Two years ago when Philip was leading the army, Raymond was plotted by Meyer Clive at the last moment when his escape was about to succeed. If the rare prop "cursed straw man" hadn't taken his life, he would have died long ago.
into that guy's hands.
This is a life and death feud.
At that time, he knew that this old scheming man should not be underestimated. He was capable of thinking and spent several years planning the fall of Philippe. Meyer's scheming was absolutely terrifying. Against such a person, in addition to fighting for strength,
, you still have to work hard, otherwise you will definitely suffer a big loss.
This kind of person is overly cautious and able to hold back. Like a hunter, he is not completely sure and will not make moves easily.
Raymond wanted to force Meyer to deal with him head-on. He just threatened to kill his whole family. It was unlikely that the guy would take it seriously. On the contrary, it was more likely that he would use this plan to kill his opponent.
Such a cautious enemy is not completely sure and will probably not take action easily.
Once he takes action, it will definitely be a fatal blow.
Therefore, Raymond had to create an "opportunity" for him to take the initiative!
The "Flower Ken Style" kendo hall was the battlefield chosen by Raymond. In addition to causing trouble for Dionysus, more importantly, he was waiting for Meyer to take action.
The last time he forced his way into King Tianlan's palace, Raymond said in public that he wanted to kill the entire Clive family, but he was actually holding back. If anyone had tried to deal with it, they would have chosen to set up a dragnet in the Clive family and wait for the "ghosts" to come.
.
Although Raymond feels that he is not afraid of Meyer with his current strength, he is not arrogant enough to get into the many traps set by an old sinner. A natural devil fruit user may have a secret agent from the World Headquarters behind him.
The organization is supported by CP9, so I can’t guarantee there are any special means.
As for those guys in the Clive family who are seeking glory from their clients, they are just insignificant minions. Once Meyer is dead, Archduke Philip will naturally have the means to deal with them slowly.
Therefore, the words "kill the whole family" and attacking in the east are actually to prepare for today's "battle of exhaustion".
Even Raymond himself knew that when he was at his peak, he could teleport continuously, so it would be difficult for others to surround him... The best time to take action was when his energy was exhausted.
This led to the high-profile battle with Dionysus, the best swordsman of the Black Sea, in which both sides suffered losses.
If he were Meyer, he would never miss this good opportunity to kill the "ghost"!
Victory without force?
No!
For conspirators like Meyer, the process and means are irrelevant; the outcome is the most important.
Although Raymond has never sensed the existence of Meyer, he firmly believes that the guy must be lurking nearby, looking for an opportunity to rise up. Now there are only a handful of people in the entire Black Sea who can pose a fatal threat to him. With such a good opportunity, once he is frightened and runs away
It was hard to find such a good opportunity to arouse alertness. Therefore, he expected that Meyer would definitely choose to take action personally and kill him with one blow.
Sure enough,
When the familiar "Qi" appeared on his back, Raymond knew that Meyer had taken action!
Meyer is worthy of being the cunning Meyer. He guessed that Raymond had some kind of super-powerful perception. He didn't know what means he used to avoid the domineering perception, and lurked until the last moment...
It’s a pity that ‘Seeing and hearing color haqi’ not only senses “qi”, but also “hostility”!
...
At this moment,
When that sour yellow and festering hand formed and slapped Raymond on the back, everyone thought he was dead. How powerful are those with natural devil fruit abilities, let alone a sneak attack?
But no one expected that Raymond seemed to have eyes on his back, and that palm penetrated his body without any obstruction, without any ripples.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be just a shadow left behind by teleportation.
"Mysterious solution: Six-armed Yama!"
The black flame phantom with three heads and six arms was like a demon possessing it, its evil aura soaring into the sky.
Raymond, who teleported to avoid the killing move, did not hesitate at all, and directly entered the strongest arcane solution state. He appeared behind the acid-condensed arm in a flash, and used the backhand move "Mysterious Night Ghost Cry"!
At that moment, he transformed into a tornado of sword energy, spinning rapidly in the air, like a meat grinder, instantly shattering the yellow mist around his arm!
[Ding! The special effect of ‘Arcane and Divine Power’ was triggered, and the attack caused ‘45 points’ of real damage to the target...]
[Ding! The special effect of ‘Arcana and Divine Power’ was triggered, and the attack caused ‘11 points’ of real damage to the target...]
[Ding! The special effect of ‘Arcana and Divine Power’ was triggered, and the attack caused ‘9 points’ of real damage to the target...]
【Ding!...】
A series of system prompts sounded. Although it was only some small data, this Sword Qi Tornado hit more than a hundred damaging attacks.
The reaction of the sour yellow gas was also very fast, and it immediately dissipated into a thinner mist state, and the damage value became lower and lower. In the blink of an eye, a translucent figure like jelly condensed not far away.
Meyer's mouth was bleeding slightly, and he didn't know that he was being plotted.
Looking up, Raymond was in a state where his true energy was overflowing fiercely. How could there be any trace of exhaustion of his true energy? He had also solved a mysterious state that had never been revealed to the outside world. He was not just waiting for scheming people!
"It turns out it was a deliberate show of weakness..."
He stared at Raymond with a gloomy face, his surprise disappeared, and he sneered: "Are you keeping this back up just to wait for me?"
"Yes, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Raymond pointed to his blind left eye, the corners of his mouth were slightly the same, and said: "I will pay you back for that punch."
"oh."
Meyer's pupils shrank slightly. Although he was surprised, he was not afraid.
Even though the news from CP9 has long confirmed that the "ghost" is the little swordsman he killed back then, he still can't believe it until he sees him in person.
He didn't expect that in two years, a person's strength would soar so much... A low-level transcendent who could be destroyed with a flip of his hand would now become a top-level swordsman who understood the secret!
In this regard, even after eating the Devil Fruit, the increase in strength is not so exaggerated.
He didn't have time to think too much, because at this time, the guy with three heads and six arms had teleported behind him again!
The sharp sword energy pierced his vest, and without any hesitation, he entered the state of elemental disintegration again.
...
"Oh my god... this is a secret method! The 'Ghost' actually hid his strength when he fought against Master Dionysus just now!"
"It's too scary... As soon as the secret solution came out, his strength at least increased several times! If... he had used all his strength before, I'm afraid the winner would have been determined long ago..."
"But...his true energy has been completely exhausted, how can he still use the secret solution? Where does his endless true energy come from?"
"What level of transcendent is 'Ghost'? He has understood the secret, but there was no news at all before..."
"This mysterious form with three heads and six arms is definitely not unusual. It seems to be the same as the "Thunder God" that Philip led [Thunder Hidden] Olysis before... but the rank is probably even higher!"
"..."
Seeing this scene, everyone watching was filled with doubts.
Although Dionysus is old and physically exhausted, his true energy is definitely the best in Sequence 5. The two of them had just fought to the death, and Dionysus had exhausted his true energy. Logically speaking, his opponent at the same level would
No matter how strong you are, it is almost exhausted...
However, Raymond's current state seems to be extremely vigorous, and his true energy is flowing out, as if it is endless.
Moreover, what shocked them even more was yet to come.
Not only did everyone see the three-headed and six-armed arcana form that they had never heard of before, they even saw a natural devil fruit capable user!
"Look, that's... an elemental body! He's a natural devil fruit user!"
"Isn't that the eldest young master of the Clive family, Meyer? He... is actually a Devil Fruit user, or an extremely rare natural type! Oh my God, there is actually a master of this level hidden in the royal capital. It's simply...
..It’s unbelievable!”
"..."
The onlookers never expected that a young nobleman of the Clive family with little reputation would actually be a ridiculously strong natural ability user.
"This 'ghost' suddenly appeared. I'm afraid he had already expected that someone would make a surprise attack. Even...he was just trying to show weakness and counterattack, hoping to catch a big fish. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even think about it.
Master Dionysus is my opponent... This boy’s scheming is really terrifying!”
"Didn't you realize that with that sword strike just now, he actually hurt the natural fruit ability user! This is simply unbelievable... Don't natural ability users ignore physical attacks? How did the 'ghost' do that?
"
"I thought highly of 'Ghost' at first, but now it seems that I may have underestimated him... Archduke Philip, the 'number one master of the Black Sea' back then, may not be as powerful as he is today!"
"I'm afraid the Black Sea is going to change."
"..."
...
The battle was several times more intense than before!
A battle between a natural devil fruit user and a top swordsman who has activated the secret state is not something that ordinary people can watch. Even if there is a slight aftermath, it will be a fatal crisis for extraordinary people below sequence 5!
"Retreat, everyone, retreat! At least ten blocks away!"
"Run away...the further away the better..."
"Don't watch around. You can't watch a battle of this level..."
Those in the Military Intelligence Department did not expect that the strength of the "ghost" would be so terrifying, nor did they expect that a natural devil fruit user would suddenly appear. The scope of the battle was getting wider and wider, and the yellow-green corrosive gas had already caused
The entire neighborhood became a forbidden area for life.
The round-up experts summoned by the Military Intelligence Office even retreated to cover the rapid escape of the residents of the royal capital. Even the few arcane solution experts who came after hearing the news could only watch the battle from a distance. They looked at the two men in the fierce battle.
, with a deep sense of fear in their eyes.
...
On the other hand, the battle became intense as soon as they met.
Meyer was caught off guard by Raymond and suffered a slight injury. But he was also a user with the ability of [Sour Fruit]. He retreated dozens of meters and opened a distance. He raised his arms forward and made a finger gun.
Actions.
"Acid Spear·Continuous Cannon!"
The next moment, countless bullets condensed with sour yellow liquid emerged from his fingers, and they shot towards Raymond like a shotgun.
Biu~biu~biu~biu...
Dense acid bullets poured down like a torrential rain.
The acid bullets all over the sky were like real musket pellets, crackling on those steel buildings.
A horrifying scene appeared... Where the walls and floors were hit by acid bullets, whether they were steel or stone slabs, acrid white smoke instantly erupted, and in the blink of an eye they were corroded into dense honeycomb-like structures.
The dark cave entrance.
The power of these acid bullets is even greater than that of ordinary magic firearms!
Seeing this move, Lei Meng did not dodge or dodge, he gathered his true energy and slashed at the living person, and suddenly a wall of sword energy and wind the size of a door panel was formed!
"The secret of Rashomon!"
The acid rain bullets hit the wind wall, bursting out clouds of rich corrosive gas. The surrounding turf flowers were visibly burnt to yellow and black due to the thick corrosive mist... If it were an ordinary person, even if he had not been
If the bullet hits, it will be severely corroded and burned by the acid mist.
But the devil's body under the blessing of Arcane Solution gives Raymond super strong defense ability. His current poison resistance coefficient has reached a very high level, at least it cannot be easily corroded by Meyer, a Sequence 5 ability user.
The point!
The layer of red and black armor that condensed with arrogance overflowed from his body, making Raymond completely ignore the corrosion of the acid-yellow mist.
At this time,
The wall of wind has not yet dissipated,
Raymond's figure disappeared again.
He teleported again and appeared next to Meyer. Without any hesitation, he swung his sharp knife airtight and slashed directly towards the opponent's body!
"Jokudō-ryu·Kaiken Ranbu!"
To swing the sword randomly, you don't need to have exquisite sword skills at all. You just need to strike frequently enough to accumulate enough real damage. Even with this "skin grinding blood" method, he can still wear Meyer to death!
[Sour Fruit] The ability user is actually a "super-comprehensive" elemental mage.
Although turning into an elemental body, the damage received will be lower, but if Meyer wants to seriously injure the current Raymond, it is simply unrealistic to use poisonous mist alone.
If Meyer wants to activate powerful spells, he must condense the entity. Although the natural fruit is not afraid of ordinary physical attacks, he has to bear the real damage that comes with [divine power]. Substantiation means that the real damage suffered is
more!
Raymond is fully aware of the ability of natural fruits, which is also his biggest reliance now on facing Hard Steel Meyer!
After these few encounters, he had the upper hand.
However, how can natural devil fruit abilities be killed so easily?
What’s more, the opponent is still the wily Meyer Clive?
