"( Those spikes, they're not a Gift ability. )" Galen reacts after seeing the Spikes out from Shark-6's body.
When Galen sees the spikes, he realized that the Spikes are reminiscent of a monster, which immediately triggered his wild thoughts about some imaginative theories outside every common knowledge taught in this world.
"( That ability, it definitely never came from the Divine gods... )"
"( An ability so monstrous by its looks, it could probably make even a higher Tier Gifted Human shiver in fear, just by seeing it. )"
"( And also,... )" Galen says while looking at his hands and feet.
"( I can't use it, my internal damaging techniques... )"
"( Even if I can't land a proper hit into the weakest spot of the outside body, the energy that I deliver should've at least entered at damaged some internal parts. )" Galen says as he recounts his attacks earlier, at that time, right after he knows that he can't land a proper hit, he changed his strategy by attacking the very spikes itself and deliver the destructive energy he cultivated to destroy the internals using the very sharp defensive spikes of Shark-6's body.
" Oh my, what's this? " Shark-6 responds.
" You're attacking my spikes? with your soft fists? " he asks, probably because he doesn't know the technique that Galen had to prepare for the likes of him.
"( The [Energy Penetration Technique], this technique basically just lets the practitioner give the enemy powerful destructive energy by striking softly into their hardest body parts. )"
"( I may only master it for a quiet, unlike my grandfather's other martial students... )"
"( But I do learn some tips from my grandfather regarding another fact about this Technique. )" Galen recounts the tips.
The tips from his grandfather at the time were. In order to make the technique work, the practitioner must focus on redirecting the energy into the tip of the limb they use to attack and immediately hit or touch the enemy's body part to instant inject the destructive force of energy into his body.
With that, the destructive energy will spread and damage the enemy's internals much faster than normal energy acupuncture attacks, and most of its practitioners only rely on their combined Ki and Gift Core energy and just hit the enemy with it without any kind of strategy.
With that, as Galen did the attack, Shark-6 experience the very effects of his technique that goes into his body without him slightly noticing that it is a damaging attack until now and later on.
" Graakkhh!!! " Shark-6 then slowly feels the pain, as his movements suddenly stopped and his hand felt so heavy as if his bones are all disconnected from each other, his organs begin to go wild, thus making him fall to the ground.
"( I can't move..., my body..., I can't feel it anymore... )" Shark-6 was shocked at the time for he sees Galen approaching him, drained, after the energy stored from his was released into Shark-6's body, destroying it like a virus (but in energy form, not in bacteria), destroying him slowly.
....
( Back to the present, again. )
" Really? that's how you can beat a bestial overpowered demonic monster transformed human? "
" By using your internal Gift Core Energy combined with the Ki Energy from nature? "
" And just give him some overpowered destructive acupuncture punches into the spot of his body? " Ragna asks as he thinks the battle will be filled with a lot of movements, techniques, actions, and destructions but instead the battle ended with the power of some acupuncture technique which is nuts.
" Of course... " Galen says.
" But don't get bored yet... "
" The attacker, Shark-6 was not immediately defeated right after I give me my techniques... "
" But rather,... " Galen stands up as he can finally feel good in his leg again that Ragna wounded earlier.
" He was saved... "
" By the other 'Sharks' of course, and... " Galen stops and suddenly looks at Ragna.
Seeing his looks, Ragna who had predicted this, including Ragna Twelve using the Twelve Eye of Time, immediately responds to Galen's unfinished statement as he tells that the one who interfered in Galen's battle with Shark-6 is.
" It's him, isn't it? " Ragna says while pointing to Inquisitor Kara's location near them as from her location, both of them can see a purple dark thunder that sparks the whole place.
" The 'Shark of Thunder', Raiden 'Jack' Wilson. "
" Even though he doesn't have any qualities that will make him the same as the shark. " Ragna says.
As Ragna says that, Galen goes silent again for he didn't notice that Ragna had foreseen it so accurately as he was going to introduce the name of the person that immediately makes him sure that the Great Ocean Guild has something to do with the tragedy of his past.
" You're right, it is him. " Galen says to Ragna.
" The person who immediately defeat me at the time and make me sure that the Great Ocean is responsible for my family's destruction is him. "
" The 'Shark of Thunder' or the 'Loan Shark of Thunder', Raiden Wilson, known to be the descendant of Jack the Ripper. " Galen says while explaining some details that the reason why he was also in the Shark's group of the Great Ocean Guild is that he's the Guild's Loan Shark that lends and takes away the money from other minor guilds, by destroying the very Guild and its members using his unorthodox Thunder ability.
Not just being the Guild's Loan Shark, Galen also explains that Raiden is known to be the 'Thunder Feeder', he who feeds the Thunder to empower his own Thunder, something that is rumored by the people that he got the ability from the demons which could be true, Galen predicts.
" It is true. " Ragna responds while looking into Inquisitor Kara and Raiden's location near them.
" After all, since the guy, Raiden himself is part of a group that had a member using some kind of Demonic Ability... "
" Then of course there's a chance that he would have one too, the unnatural power outside the Gift Core, or even from our Earth's very nature. " Ragna looks at Galen sharply.
" Earth's natural power, for example, like Ki. " Ragna says making Galen look at him.
" What are you getting at, Ragna? " Galen says to Ragna as he then says.
" Galen... "
" I want to know how can you manage to use Ki? " Ragna asks.
