Chapitre 2014: The Difference

Kira suddenly accelerated into retreat, looking at his lost arm in shock. He knew how great his defenses were. On the same level, there was practically no one that could cut through his skin, let alone his bone and tendons in a single strike. 

He didn't even quite see how Ryu had attacked. It was as though the world had done it for him. 

Adlael's gaze couldn't help but narrow. 

The real reason he had allowed Kira to attack was precisely because he thought that something like this might happen. He knew that Ryu was an anomaly, and he found the fact that Ryu's cultivation was progressing so slowly odd…
