Chapter 54 - Chapter 54 - Combat Prowess

Everyone was looking at the screen where they saw Yuuki stretching and loosening his muscle while few were anxious at the outcome considering the amount of Shuuki would be too troublesome to fight alone. On the other, everyone had varying degrees of thoughts and opinions.

"Are you sure about this, Anedeshi?"

Konomi asked her senior disciple, Kyouka, who had the clone transformed and the clone reassured that he would be fine.

"I appreciate you worrying but there isn't any of it. You should take note because it might help your martial art."

The clone said while everyone turned to look at him and began to question. Riu rubbed her chin, having a keen sense of a person's talent and potential but she couldn't see through him. They all remain quiet watching the screen with curiosity.

Yakumo was excited to see him in action and Mira wanted to know if he's able to survive while Riu wanted to see his fighting style in action and Bell prayed that he remain safe. Konomi intently watched and was interested in what kind of martial art he uses and Fubuki simply observed him while Varvara didn't care and looked at her phone only to take a quick glance.

The only one who was indifferent was Kyouka and Tenka, knowing how strong Yuuki was even if his strength would be split when he created a clone.

Meanwhile, Ren clearly wanted to know what she would be dealing with and learn how to discipline him later since she became interested in him like sporting a new toy.

Back to Yuuki who was unfazed by the horde of Shuuki charging towards him where he took deep breath and closed his eyes as he exhaled a steam then shut open them where even through the screen they were able to sense the imposing sight of Yuuki.

"What is he doing!?"(Mira)

"It's a technique called [ Ultra Instinct ] that puts the person in a state between conscious and unconscious. This is where I am able to maximize his fighting potential by utilizing every single move of his knowledge without hesitation."

The clone explained that he doesn't care about sharing a few things about him since knowing his abilities won't make it easy to defeat him. If anything it will make him a lot stronger.

"Interesting, where did you learn that?"(Riu)

"Is it possible for me to learn it?"(Konomi)"

He shook his head, making them slightly disappointed and said.

"You would have to be put in a state of near death through asphyxiation and I don't recommend it. Though, I can try teaching something similar."

"Really!?"(Konomi)

"I don't see why not. Hmmm, he's starting."

They all turned back to Yuuki and planted his feet into the ground, slapping it enough to cause a fissure of cracks and launch himself forward. His movement was different than its usual style and acting like wild beast yet it was coordinated and strike the shuuki with a powerful shockwave.

[ Ultra Instinct + Formless + Full contact Karate 1st stance Ballistic fist ]

Through the screen they could feel the impact of his attack and within an instant demolish rows of Shuuki from the force of his strike. Yuuki always wondered what it would be like if he let his intuition do the work by using [ Formless ] that let his body move on its own trusting the primal urge to survive causing him to utilize the highest proficiency in his martial art.

The [ Formless ] came from the Kenganverse that copied during his previous life and it is not like a normal style, as instead of a singular fighting one, the user has a wide repertoire of moves that one can draw from at any time.

This style acts more like an instinctive reflex and reaction to the opponent's attack, going limp to avoid, withstand or deflect attacks and striking at the first opening almost instantaneously.

This style's forte is adaptability, but possesses one notable weakness to the form. By fully embracing adaptability, one sacrifices the ability to make immediate decisions due to the sheer amount of options at their disposal.

"Wow, his movement it's like…"(Konomi)

"Damn, he is doing quick work on the shuuki! Is he even using an ability?"(Mira)

"I know that it would be difficult to predict his movement as it appears that he is quick at executing his next attack."(Riu)

"Go get them, Slave-chan~!"(Yakumo)

She gleefully cheered and Bell tried her best to support him, wishing for him to stay safe even though he was tearing the Shuuki to shreds. They continued to watch as Yuuki slammed the head off the shuuki on the ground.

[ Northern ITF Taekwondo - Hyperspeed, triple Strike ]

Within an instant he was able to perform a barrage of kicks that fling the Shuuki towards the Shuuki behind them as Yuuki leaped into the air.

[ Renewal Taekwondo - Baekdu ]

He came in with knee strike then resume the attack by turning it into a backfliped kick.

[ Renewal Taekwondo - Nigawa Kick ]

The air pressure produce cause a line to formed on the ground a sir send shock wave that devastated the swarm of Shuuki who tried to move and change their tactic.

"Hey now, we are just getting started!"

Yuuki rushed towards them while they did the same where he kept an animalistic grinned feeling his body aching and his adrenaline pumping.

"His movement, it's similar to Taekwondo but the he uses is vastly different from what I know."(Riu)

"Great observation, it's a variation that I made called [ Renewal Taekwondo ]."(Clone)

"Are you willing to share this martial art to the Anti-Demon corps?"(Ren)

The clone turned to Ren who sounded more like command rather than request making the air to change and Kyouka to become anxious and worried for her lover but the clone merely chuckled at this.

"Unless they have the talent for it then sure why not."

The clone doubts that they will be able to bring out most of the martial arts considering they would likely prefer to use their abilities than improve their combat prowess. Ren grew more eager to take control of Yuuki as his tone and mannerism lacked discipline even though this is a way to irritate her and control her mind.

"Then are you willing to spar with my disciple?"(Riu)

"Of course, I've been eager to ask it myself. Her talent is above Kyouka. If anything she can be called a prodigy like Himari-chan."(Clone)

Mentioning her daughter's name made Fubuki turn to him and ask.

"How come Himari is a prodigy?"(Fubuki)

"You'll see, don't want to ruin the surprise." (Clone)

The clone smirked even though it was hard to see when he was in his slave form. Fubuki certainly became interested in what kind of regime her daughter was doing to improve herself. Meanwhile back to Yuuki, he charges into the flock of Shuuki clenching his fist tightly.

[ Renewal Taekwondo - Mach Punch ]

A sonic boom was formed as he struck the Shuuki, easily diminishing their numbers and senses. Something flew behind with high speed and an explosion occurred. Yuuki frowned at this and changed his tactic since he needed to end them quickly.

'I almost forgot that someone has that ability….'

Yuuki used his clairvoyance to spot the people responsible for it but didn't care as he covered the sky and began to use elemental manipulation where he engulfed himself in lightning and took the property of it.

He doesn't use it often due to how much it burns his stamina but got a lot better in using it compared to before and the inhibitors help in keeping the wasted energy from leaking out.

[ Raiten Taisō ]

Everyone watching in awe and great interest, especially Ren, understands what a valuable asset Yuuki can be if used correctly. Unfortunately, Yuuki does not like being chained and bound that easily.

"Is this your ability? How come you have multiple powers?"(Riu)

"Yeah, does your ability have a name?"(Yakumo)

"Its name is [ Asurayasha Deva ]."(Clone)

The name reminds them of their commander as they remained quiet and continued to watch the spectacle which in the blink of an eye ended an entire battalion of Shuuki.

"What the hell, you're one OP motherf*cker! Hell, I'm not sure I can fight that many alone that quickly!"(Mira)

Mira witnessed him produce lightning orbs behind him before shooting them towards the Shuuki that exploded upon impact and turning the Shuuki to crisp as he dispatched those that got closer to him with relative ease. They were stronger but the limit of their destructive potency is limited.

Yuuki then dispelled his form growing tired, maintaining it but saw the continuous wave of Shuuki made him smile as he leaped into battle where he pushed himself to the brink of death.

His eyes seemingly glowed and hungry for slaughter as he became a streak in the battle field drowning the entire place in mountain of corpses

[ Kaiwan Style - Devil Lance ]

Turning his hand into spear-hand stabbing into the body Shuuki easily putting a multitude of holes in their body as his hand pierce their body like nothing and instantly killing them as he continued his warm up. Meanwhile inside the conference room where everyone was watching, Ginna received a call and said.

"Ren-sama! We have a report from the search squad! There are what appears to be 6 people 4 km South of us!"(Ginna)

"So they are the perpetrators"(Ren)

She then proceeded to float and said.

"I'll go. You come too, Kyouka. As for those staying, the rest here is in your hand."(Ren)

She then flew towards the location with such high speed that Yuuki saw the trail behind her as he stopped playing with the Shuuki and flew as well leaving the rest to the other Chief. At a distance away, a group of people could be seen being the one responsible for the attack.

"Let's start the Second wave shuuki."

"Make sure they reach their base this time. Don't waste my bombing ability."

As they were discussing their next plan of attack was when a loud impact slammed into the ground and Ren descended from the sky causing a crack on the ground as she holds her hand in a meditative hand position named dhyāna mudrā, manifesting several circling shining cards, which appears around a ring of light.

"You must be terrorists from some other country."

Panic ensued in their faces realizing who the person before them was as she gave an imposing presence that was enough to make them cower in fear.

"It's Ren Yamashiro!"

"She's here to return fire!"

One of them shouted as she took off her glasses and tried to use her ability.

"Petrify!"

However the next moment nothing had happened and Ren was perfectly fine and normal.

"So you were trying to make the place where the chief's gathered go "boom" through bombs…"(Ren)

She gave a calm smile yet it was clear none of them pose a threat to her nor does she see them as nothing more than pests.

'My ability isn't working.'

The woman who tried to petrify her was shocked while her comrade beside her took breath and used her ability as well.

[ Burn! ]

With a loud shout send invisible force to Ren yet she was unfazed and remained in place as she bend one of her knee charging it before kicking with an immense force shot towards the one who had shouting ability.

"So it was an ability that had something with words."

She said then went back to her meditative hand position as she surrounded her once again and said.

"The Anti-Demon Corps are a company built to protect Mato's resources from people like you."

She blitzed and knocked the one who tried to petrify her, flinging her with a single swing of her arms then one of them released a human male that had been severely modified yet she easily defeated it and seeing this one of them took out a gun and tried to shoot her.

Ren didn't try to dodge and simply slapped the bullets away and karate chopped her enemy's face then proceeded to move closer to the remaining assailant.

"You leave me with no choice! I'll just blow this whole area up!!"

She shouted, crossing her arms as Ren halted for a moment and said.

"A bombing Ability…a wide area suicide bombing would be troublesome."

The terrorist expected to die staring down Ren until she realized something was wrong."

'I'm not exploding!?'

This shook her to the core while Ren began to talk and walk towards her.

"When I was a child…I would get excited from seeing…maps of remote regions. The phrase "pole of inaccessibility"...fills you with a sense of adventure. It makes you wonder what could lie in those places."

When Ren was a few steps away move her fingers and tap the forehead of the terrorist with her index finger and said.

"Could you do me a favor? Take a look at the bottom of a Distant sea."

"Wha…."

It was then at that moment her vision changed, finding herself at the bottom of the sea that instantly crushed her from the sheer pressure of the water. Ren teleported the terrorist using her ability even though it doesn't work on herself.

"Woah, you sure are something…."
