Chapter 1646 Defending Daimon -Part 35
The Grey Bears were afraid when they saw Jin was being grabbed by the Twin Sword Metal Ogre but Lynn calmed Diaz down who wanted to go in guns blazing towards the enemy. "Enjoy the light show." She commented gently which confused Diaz even more until they heard a loud bang.
All of the Mechanoids quickly turned their heads and saw that there were streaks of black lightning moving in and out of the Metal Ogre. For the first time, the Twin Sword Metal Ogre regrated the decision he ever made as the black lightning continuously coursed through his body without any luck stopping it.
Even as the Metal Ogre Variant tried to release his arms to push Jin away, the Interim Leader did not hesitate to continue hugging the Metal Ogre. He extended his hands and wrapped his legs around the Metal Ogre like a koala bear hanging on a tree branch. It wasn"t until the Metal Ogre sensed there was an interval between the streaks of black lightning that he tried to shove Jin away and that was when the Interim Leader finally released him.
"You know, for a Variant, your lightning isn"t doing much damage to him," Jin said to Byakkou and the White Tiger Cardinal wished to roll his eyes. "Your Grade within this Virtual Simulation is not high enough to fully utilise my powers. Not to mention, not all metals conduct electricity well. If there are impurities within it, it would dull the lightning attack as well. Didn"t you learn this in school?" Byakkou snapped at Jin.
"Ahhhh just say that you have been out of shape for a long time. There is no way, the White Tiger Cardinal cannot kill a Variant in one shot. I even hug him you know!" Jin said as he picked up another sword up.
"Just go for the kill already, If I remember correctly, you still have phase 2 that you got to enact right?" Byakkou wanted to roll his eyes if he could and Jin grinned.
"Okay, Boss Tiger. Instructions received." Jin said as he focused his Maqi within the palm and it slowly spread into the sword"s blade that it was glowing in black. A few seconds later, sparkles started to emerge from the blade and Jin knew that it charged nicely all thanks to Click who had enhanced the purity of the sword"s edges and sharpened them to the point that it could only be used once.? It"s so sharp that it is too brittle.
Click had no idea why Jin wanted that but in looking at the situation right now, she understood why. His energy charts were off the charts and the sword will break regardless of its durability. So why focus on durability when the intention was to do a one strike kill? She reckoned that the first few attacks were to estimate the amount of energy that Jin could insert and how much it could hold.
Now that the Interim leader had a rough idea of its capacity, it didn"t overload it and instead made sure that it was smooth enough for Jin to not just do a strike but also continuously send lightning chi to break the Metal Ogre down.
However, the Metal Ogre was not going to back down as well. He took the twin swords he had abandoned and smashed them together, causing them to fuse through the consistent smas.h.i.+ng, forming a thick claymore like sword. The hilts had been merged and he held the both of them with just one hand. The Metal had already been twisted enough for him to grab it easily and now it points the sword at his nemesis.
Suffice it to say both of them were relying on just one strike and even though Jin did not discount the fact that the Metal Ogre might be slower in terms of speed but one wrong move or one dirty trick from the Metal Ogre, everything might play to his favour.
So, in the fas.h.i.+on of using lightning chi, Jin also boosted his legs and he kneeled a little to mimic an Iai stance (Sword drawing stance). It was a terrible copy of Zeru"s Lotus Techniques but he believed against the Metal Ogre who had no knowledge when it comes to sword fighting, he should stand quite a big advantage against him.
Thus, he with a deep breath in, Jin released the chi within his legs, boosting his speed to at least two fold. The moment he left his position, Metal Ogre had indeed decided to play dirty by kicking up sand with his legs.
However, he had forgotten that the person he fought with was not just some ordinary cultivator. He was a person who had fought thousands and thousands of duels under Suzaku, and killed several big bosses while limiting his Maqi. So, as a trained professional who had worked with as little chi as possible to not let people know of his powers, eliminated targets way above his cultivation grade.
Hence, the Metal Ogre"s petty dirty trick had no use to Jin and it became even more apparent as his vision turned upside down. Only to find that his neck had been severed by the city"s temporary leader.
Not only that, but the electric energy from the charged iaido sword attack had also caused a ripple effect that lashes out towards the Metal Ogres who was trying to come close to Jin once more, beating up more dust and electrical explosions which amazed the Western Front people not to f.u.c.k with their Interim leader.
When that was done, Jin asked for a rope to drop down and the people within the Helicarrier obliged. "Stay strong, Western Front. The 2nd Phase is on its way. Reload, reaim, and refire when Operation Magic Sky starts!" Jin shouted through the console, allowing every single soldier in their trenches on the Western Front to cheer in victory, knowing that they had a competent leader supporting their backs.
Even the Western Front Lead Commander General Grieves had no choice but to show respect to their leader who seemingly risked his life further in the forefront of the battlefield to kill an enemy they thought was unkillable.
