บท 1569: Climb It

Ryu smiled as Radiant Star suddenly appeared before him. In his eyes, the former Sovereign was a bundle of lines that looks like the puppet of the Heavens themselves. He was suddenly far more solid again, and listening to him and his wife argue had just made him all the easier to read. 

Reading was one thing, though… 

What about controlling? 

Suddenly, one of the Lines of Fate became particularly tight. The Sovereign frowned for a moment, but in the heat of battle he couldn't quite react to it, he could only subconsciously move. It was just unfortunate that he just so happened to follow exactly what that taut line wanted him to do. 

His finger attack was easily sidestepped by Ryu and a fist was driven into his gut. 

BANG. 

An explosive wind formed around their collision, a concentric circle akin to a clap of thunder blowing out the back of Radiant Star's robe.
