56 Idisputably the strongest investigator (1/2)

After several more exchanges, Lucien chose a new strategy. It was clear that by doing this the spar won't move to another point. So when they both rushed at each other and clashed again, Lucien let go of his katana and kicked IXA with all his power, shooting Arima away from him.

Then he congealed several kagune daggers which shot at Arima with high speed and as he couldn't react properly he ended injured by several of them. But nothing serious, just some scratches and so on.

Arime then stops up and dropped his white long coat he was wearing all the time, revealing pitch black battle suit underneath. Lucien knew that this meant only one thing, Arima is going to be serious this time. And his assumptions became real as Arima rushed at him with his top speed and slashed at his right hand.

Lucien tried to block the IXA but as he dropped his katana he didn't have enough time to create a new one, cause Arima was already before him. Leaving no other option he tried to dodge the attack, barely dodging, but a few strands of silver hair were flying in the air.

”I must compliment you that your reflexes are rather good but that's not enough.”

Said, Arima, as he opened another case, this time it was that pitch black case with golden ornaments, which was waiting for Arima after he put it down. Lucien knew that this was his second quinque, Narukami rated as S+. But real strength was around SS, same as the IXA.

Narukami is an ukaku-type quinque. It discharges condensed Rc cells just like lightning bolts that could do massive damage to the targets. One shot could kill B-rated ghouls like ants and severely injure A-rated ones, maybe even killing them in process. Possessing a tracking function, evasion of the bolts is next to impossible. But what was more alarming that even this quinque had Mode Change. In this mode, this weapon becomes even more terrifying.

Then Arima aimed at Lucien and shot a bolt at Lucien who immediately entered Kakuja V1 to defend. He was aware of fact that it was impossible to dodge this attack so the only option was to defend against it.

As he was watching the lightning bolt closing him he took a defensive stance and waited for the moment. When the lightning finally hit him he felt like his entire body was without any sense and like he was about to fell down. But fortunately this condition lasted only a very short time as RC Cells started to work inside his body and Lucien soon could control his body.

Then he returned this favor by shooting two kagune spears at Arima this time. He chose to create spears because they were far bigger than daggers and he would have far harder time shotting them down.

When two spears were flying at Arima he tried to shot them down by using the Narukami but it was in vain, he managed to only damage one spear so he couldn't do anything more and could just dodge the attack. Lucien used this as he appeared behind him delivering one swift kick to his stomach. And it didn't end there as he followed after flying Arima and slashed at him with his katana aimed at his hand which was holding Narukami.

As Arima was rather immobile he couldn't block the slash and Lucien managed to break off the Arima's grip on the Narukami and now he remained with only one weapon IXA.

Arima coughed blood and looked at Lucien with a somewhat respectful gaze. Then he nodded head at him and Lucien did the same. It was already time to decide the winner. They were sparring already almost for an hour.
