Chapter 445 - 447 (1/2)
”Dare I say that I've seen all of my sword prowess...”
”You're really arrogant.”
The Golden Lion said coldly, clutching a large cigar between his teeth.
But at this moment, he suddenly frowned heavily, noticing something very unusual.
His will of observation recorded the strange changes that had happened to Yeruashi at that moment.
The most obvious and obvious change was his breathing...it has sharply accelerated several times!
No...
Not just breathing!!
Shiki could feel that the frequency of all Yeruashi's movements had increased tenfold!
Even an ordinary person could notice that Yeruashi was in a very strange state.
”Thirty-fold...acceleration of the time flow.”
Yeruashi said calmly, but only he himself could hear these words, because in his current state, each of his words accelerated thirty times, turning into a short and incomprehensible noise for the observer.
Thirty times the acceleration of the time flow was the current limit of the illusory clock.
From his point of view, in this state, the entire surrounding world was thirty times slower.
Initially, he was able to clearly capture every movement of the Golden Lion using the perception of Rinne Tenseigan, without having to resort to something like the will of observation, and now, with the combination of the acceleration of the flow of time and the perception of Rinne Tenseigan, the movements of the Golden Lion began to seem extremely slow and viscous to Yeruashi.
But Yeruashi didn't even think to stop there.
After activating the acceleration of the flow of time, a huge flow of chakra gushed through the meridians of Yeruashi, and a golden veil enveloped the body.
”Six-Way Mode, activation.”
”Eight Gate Release Formation, activation.”
Yeruashi was surprised to find that he began to feel pressure after activating the Six-Way Mode and opening Eight Gates, while being in a state of thirty-fold acceleration of the time flow.
He had never felt anything like this before.
Since ascending to the level of the Six Paths, Yeruashi had never felt that his flesh had any limit, but at this moment, he was surprised to find that even the body of the Six Paths was under enormous pressure after reaching such a speed.
As in the case when the body of an ordinary Shinobi is dealt huge damage, after a very short time after the gate opens.
But Yeruashi did not show any concern when he felt the limit of his flesh for the first time, because being in this state, he could maintain normal activity of the body for two or three seconds, which is quite enough for a normal attack.
Do not forget that he still has the ability to reverse the flow of time, which allows him to return the body to a normal state.
So as long as Yeruashi is able to hold on in this state for at least a moment before the complete collapse of the body, he will be able to make this state stable, using the ability of the reverse flow of time.
”It's time to know the true speed...”
”The Golden Lion.”
Yeruashi calmly lowered the blade and flew forward, quickly approaching close to the Golden Lion.
From Yeruashi's point of view, all the actions were extremely simple, but when viewed from the outside, everything was completely different.
Everyone who watched this battle from the side saw how Yeruashi simply disappeared and instantly appeared right in front of the Golden Lion!
”...what?!”
The Golden Lion's eyes widened abruptly.
Compared to Kuina, Zoro, and the others who were just watching the battle with their nȧkėd eyes, Shiki never stopped using the will of observation to capture Yeruashi's movements, so he understood much more clearly than the others how terrible Yeruashi's speed was at that moment!
Even his will of observation bȧrėly caught anything!
The Golden Lion did not hesitate to use his devil fruit ability to the maximum, in an attempt to break the distance, at the same time sharply swinging his leg in the direction of Yeruashi.
But none of that mattered.
All his movements were slowed down by dozens of times from the point of view of Yeruashi.
