'Is he… up to something?'
Reon's eyes narrowed as he caught a flicker of confidence in Rin Gong's battered expression.
Suddenly—
Rin Gong hurled his spear away and drew his fist back.
A faint sky-blue aura began to ripple around it as he slowly muttered:
"Azura Dragon Secret Fist Art...
First Form—Azure Wave Punch!"
With a roar, he launched a devastating punch, its sky-blue energy tearing through the air straight toward Reon's face.
"Did you really think I only specialized in spear techniques…?" Rin Gong growled.
Reon's eyes widened for a heartbeat—then curved into a calm smile.
'So this was his trump card… But if this is all, then I have nothing to fear.'
In response, Reon threw away his sword.
Leaning slightly backward, he raised his right palm and spoke with measured calm:
"Crimson Howl Technique…
Second Form—Scarlet Wild Palm!"
BOOOM!!
The two techniques collided with a thunderous shockwave, sending dust and debris spiraling through the air.
