65 Full Counter (1/2)

A year had passed quickly without much enjoyment for Rei. It was just a matter of practising some magic and abilities to try increase his current maximum. unfortunately, he couldn't even make 2 blades with Unlimited Blade Works.

*Sigh

'SSOOOOO SSLLLOOOOWWWW' Rei said in his mind as he missed being able to summon an armada of blades like before.

[Patience is a virtue host.]

The system reminded Rei as he sat down after practise.

”I know but still...” Rei moaned.

”?!” Rei suddenly sat up as he felt Meliodas' presence near by.

Standing up onto his small chubby feet, Rei waddled over to where Meliodas' location. Seeing him waddle, the servants in the palace laughed at his cuteness. Rei could only blush in emabrrasment as he waddled faster.

'Won't be laughing when you realise that I could have ended you with a sneeze before....' Rei cursed in his mind as he continued to waddle faster.

*Plop plop plop plop....

Rei's footsteps could be heard as he continued to waddle holding his hands out to balance a little. Soon his could he Meliodas talking to the king of Liones.

”Meoas!Meoas!” Rei's childish voice rang out as he plodded over. Rei cursed his current body as he couldn't fully pronouce Meliodas' name.

”Mn? Oh Rei!” Meliodas said smiling as he crouched down and picked up Rei.

Rei wiggled slightly as he tried to get comfortable but could only frown slightly seeing the attempt in vain.

”Hahahahaha” King Liones laughed in humor seeing Rei's attempts to shuffle in a more comfortable position.

”Sate sate sate, Rei chan where do you want to go?” Meliodas asked with a smile.

”Tain tain!” Rei called out to Meliodas.

”Ohya? Training? Sure.” Meliodas replied happily as he and the king took Rei to the training grounds.

Rei watched the holy knights perform their routines as well as use some abilities, these included gravity, wind, thunder, invisibility and more. Meliodas watched Rei in curiosity as he could feel his aura change slightly every time he watched a holy knight perform a ability of theirs.

”Rei? Want to see me fight?” Meliodas asked wanting to try something out.

Rei's eyes sparkled as he really wanted to get Meliodas' Full counter so he nodded enthusiastically.

Handing Rei over to the king of Liones, Meliodas walked over to the holy knights.

”All right everyone! We're going to have a mock battle and all of you are going to fire your abilities at me.” Meliodas said which enraged some of the holy knights as it seemed like Meliodas was looking down on them.

”AH? Arrogant kid, I'm enough to deal with you.” A holy knight said walking up to Meliodas.

Without even looking at him, Meliodas swung his hand and the knight went through a pillar.

Seeing this, the other holy knights quickly went on guard against Meliodas.

”It's alright, all of you fight him seriously.” King Liones said with a stroke of his beard as he held Rei who is watching seriously to try gain Meliodas' Full counter.

Hearing this, all of the knights put on a serious face as they could tell from the King's voice that he held huge trust in Meliodas' strenght.

Gathering energy, they started to fire off all of their abilities. An array of energy could be seen firing off in the air as meliodas only smiled at the incoming attacks.

”Full counter.” Meliodas said simply as he waved his sword and the energy shot back towards their respective knights shocking them. Rei on the other hand could see that Meliodas had used the momentum of the energy and the space around it to push it back towards the knights.

'I see.... I can't believe I forgot that I can use space like that.' Rei mentally facepalmed himself.

”Sate sate sate, Rei did you see that?” Meliodas said as he turned towards Rei.

Rei was still thinking about other ways he could have used the law of space so he absent-mindedly nodded. Soon Rei wanted to try out the new ability he just got so his tried to gesture for them to fire a weak ability at him.

”Boom a me!” Rei pointed at the group of knights before back at himself.
