Chapter 528 - VS Hero Faction part 2 (1/2)

”You!!!”, yelled Hercules as he swung his fist and leg at Kisuke again, but Kisuke dodged it just as easily as before. ”Iya~. Don't get too furious just because you were proven wrong.”, said Kisuke while he dusted his hat off.

Hercules retreated to Jeanne as his confident demeanor from earlier already disappeared.

”...How is he doing that?”, asked Rossweisse with a surprised face.

”...Who knows?”, replied Issei with the same expression.

”What? You're not coming?”, taunted Kisuke towards Hercules and Jeanne, who had started putting up defensive measures, ”Well then, I guess it's my turn.”

The moment he ended his words was the moment when Kisuke suddenly disappeared from his spot without any warnings, ”What!? Where!?”

Hercules and Jeanne tried looking for him, but the next thing they saw was that he was only a few inches away from the tall Hercules. Hercules tried to swing his fist at Kisuke again, but this time, he didn't dodge, ”That trick... Why do you keep repeating it?”

Instead of dodging, Kisuke lightly tapped Hercules' fist, and it suddenly exploded, ”Wha...!?” Due to the explosion to speed up his fist, and the sudden explosion that countered it, Hercules' arm broke with multiple veins on it ruptured.

While still confused at what was going on, Kisuke lightly tapped a few parts on his body, and they all exploded, ”Gaha!!!”

Due to those explosions and most of them countering each other, it resulted in his body being squeezed in multiple directions, breaking his bones and rupturing his flesh and veins. After the series of explosions, the yellow aura which was covering Hercules' body disappeared, along with his Balance Breaker as he fell to his knees, unconscious.

Hercules' Sacred Gear was the yellow aura that covered his body which allowed him to make it explode for his use. After watching him doing it several times, Kisuke figured how it worked and how much mastery he had over it. Thanks to his poor control, Kisuke was able to confuse the Sacred Gear, which detonated the explosions inside of himself.

With her comrade instantly downed, Jeanne panicked and attacked Kisuke with her Holy Sword, ”You bastard!!!” She also commanded her Dragon to flank him.

Kisuke dodged and was about to retaliate when suddenly, multiple magic circles appeared around him and bombarded him. Kisuke predicted where the magic attacks would land and dodged them with minimal effort.

But soon after, he felt a threat from behind him and used Flash Step to get away. An elongated spear pierced the ground he was standing on a second earlier, ”Hey now. I thought it was just those two?”

”You're too dangerous.”, muttered Cao Cao with a serious face, ”You're even more dangerous than the current Sekiryuutei. You instantly figured out how Hercules' Sacred Gear works and manipulated it to your liking. I couldn't have done the same thing.”

”And is that supposed to be a compliment?”, asked Kisuke with genuine confusion.

The Gremory team and Vali, however, were shocked at Cao Cao's words. After all, Cao Cao was what you'd call the Ultimate Technique type of fighter, the type that analyzes everything about their enemy and creates countermeasures against them. Even Azazel praised and was defeated by him.

For Cao Cao to say that he couldn't have done the same thing, it was a testament to how terrifying Kisuke's abilities actually were.

”That's a compliment, alright!?”, shouted Xenovia.

At that point, Cao Cao didn't say anything else and just activated his Balance Breaker. After the mysterious seven orbs appeared around him, Kisuke took a stance and got ready, but not for him.

The moment they were about to clash and they were at the peak of concentration, a dark silhouette suddenly appeared behind Kisuke and Ophis and plunged a dagger to his heart.

”Kisuke!!!”, screamed Issei and ran towards him, while the rest of his group also got ready to assist.
