Chapter 47 A Dragon's Bones Stand Firm Against Royal Authority, Facing an Endless Judgment of Death

Ruri Kazama's difficult turn around reveals the powerful influence of the king on her.

His stance was even lower, his knees had already bent down, and his back resembled a fully drawn bow, forming the arc of a crescent moon.

Every muscle and bone in his body felt as if it were being pressed down by a small hill, an indescribable heaviness.

Ruri Kazama's first thought was that it was a trap set by the Hebi-Hachi family. The Hebi-Hachi family had anticipated that the demons would retaliate, so they had made preparations in advance.

But after looking around and not seeing any enemies, a new doubt arose in his mind.

According to the common sense of hybrids, the range of their words of power is unlikely to exceed twenty meters.

Take Kazama Ruri's own Word of Power, Dream Eater, as an example. Its maximum range is also twenty meters. It's impossible to give someone a nightmare from a great distance; there is a distance limit.

Within a 20-meter radius, all the demons were prostrating themselves on the ground; there was no sign of the Snake-Headed Eight Families in any direction, meaning...

Kazama Ruri kept her head down, coldly looking down at the floor tiles. The enemy was hiding underground, wasn't he?

The upstairs area was just ransacked by the madmen of the Fierce Ghost Clan, so it's unlikely anyone is hiding there.

Ruri Kazama strode angrily, casually raised her knee, and stomped it down, producing an incredibly dull thud. The entire Nightclub seemed to have traveled back to ancient times, experiencing the turmoil of a battering ram smashing a city gate.

The ground suddenly shook violently, and rubble and bricks flew everywhere with the force of the impact. Members of the Oni Clan, including Miyamoto Toru, were lying on the ground, their hands, scalps, and backs all scraped raw by the high-speed rubble.

When the dust settled, the floor was exposed, revealing gray reinforced concrete, with a deep crater carved out by Kazama Ruri's footsteps.

Miyamoto Toru was inwardly shocked, and simultaneously, through the telepathic connection between his clones, he sent a message to another clone hidden in the shadows: 'We can't let him discover the Alchemy Matrix.'

'Once the matrix is ​​destroyed, ordinary royal authority won't be able to control this guy.'

While waiting for the main body to arrive, the other two Xu Lie clones standing outside the door looked at each other.

One of the immobilized clones was quite pleased: 'Don't look at me, I'm using my royal power right now and can't move, so I can only rely on you.'

The Word of Power: Royal Authority is considered useless, mainly because it's primarily used in 1v1 duels between dragons and hybrids. The fact that Royal Authority prevents movement and causes continuous damage to oneself after being released makes it very difficult to use.

It is mainly used in team battles as a strong control skill. At the cost of being unable to move, it applies gravity to the enemy, allowing others to take action and kill the controlled enemy.

The clone, who needed to attract Kazama Ruri's attention head-on, was probably cursing a lot in his mind, but he still stepped into the Nightclub without hesitation.

Upon entering, they launched a fierce attack without giving Kazama Ruri a chance to speak or ask questions.

The Word of Power: Yin Flow originated from Sakura Yabuki. Her clones not only stole the royal power, but also the Yin Flow.

Using the hidden current, the hidden weapons were accelerated.

Three sharp, specially made knives flashed out of thin air, traversing a distance of more than ten meters, and instantly appeared in front of Kazama Ruri!
Normally, a flying knife that could be easily dodged with a simple twist is not so easy for Kazama Ruri to dodge now that she is under the influence of gravity.

In a single exchange, his body was pierced by three throwing knives, drawing out a considerable amount of scarlet blood.

"So, you're the only one?" Kazama Ruri looked like she was having difficulty speaking under the powerful suppression of the king.

In reality, she just wanted to find out how many people the Snake Clan had ambushed. Otherwise, even if she couldn't dodge the flying knives, Kazama Ruri could easily block them with either a simple sword swing or by activating her Dragon Bone state.

Xu Lie's clone also used the Faceless Man Talisman, appearing as a middle-aged man with a stubble beard, and did not answer any of Kazama Ruri's questions.

Like a cold machine created by humankind, it utters no words, only relentlessly unleashing its dark currents, turning the scattered pebbles into high-speed impact weapons, surging overwhelmingly towards Kazama Ruri.

The dense barrage of gravel was almost equivalent to ten shotguns firing simultaneously.

Kazama Ruri, feigning weakness, crossed her arms and laboriously raised them to protect her face, letting the flying pebbles scrape against her body.

The once gorgeous kimono embroidered with spider lilies was now tattered and torn, stained with debris, dust, and blood, looking utterly wretched.

“This is…” Kazama Ruri’s wounds from the throwing knife had stopped bleeding and were even beginning to heal slowly: “This is one of my favorite outfits.”

The abrasions on his arms and other parts of his body had completely disappeared. If it weren't for the dust mixed with blood, who would know that he had just been injured?
The moment the arm was lowered, Xu Lie's clone could only see a pair of bright, burning golden eyes and hear a series of cracking bones.

The gaps between Kazama Ruri's bones suddenly disappeared; this was a unique ability of royal-level hybrids—the Dragon Bone State.

Hybrids like Genjiro and Genjiro, with extremely high blood purity, can possess skeletal structures similar to those of the Dragon King.

These types of keels can close freely, entering a combat state, thereby unleashing terrifying power and performing actions that defy the laws of the human body.

Even with the power of the alchemical matrix, the king could not suppress the speed of Kazama Ruri's dragon bones after they closed.

Ruri Kazama, like a lark flying against the wind, defies gravity as she rushes towards us, her blade gleaming like ripples on water under the moon.

The clone also possesses spiritual intuition, but its frantic warnings are to no avail; the clone simply doesn't have the speed to dodge this attack!

At the critical moment, a mysterious dragon chant suddenly rang out, and Kazama Ruri, who was rushing forward with great momentum, suddenly stopped!
I will die, a sixth sense, faintly pricking my brow, is warning me!

In the next instant, the invisible law transformed into a sharp blade, almost like a high and mighty god judging the disobedient rebels of the world.

Kazama Ruri unleashed her maximum speed, using her Dragon Bone form to twist her bones to their limit, completely reversing her leg bones and turning her forward charge into a violent retreat.

They dodged the attack in time!
However, a large spurt of blood still burst from her left arm, and a long wound running from her shoulder to her palm appeared on Kazama Ruri's body.

If Kazama Ruri hadn't been decisive enough and retreated quickly enough, this invisible law of death might have killed him.

The dragon's bones stand firm against royal authority, yet cannot face the endless judgment of death.

At this moment, Kazama Ruri's mind went blank. Her brain had given up thinking, and her body and mind were driven by her subconscious survival instinct. She smashed the club window and escaped at lightning speed.

What kind of monster did the Snake Clan send out?! How could it possess such power?!

After running away, Kazama Ruri barely came to her senses and couldn't understand how the Snake Clan could have such power and intimidate him, a member of the royal bloodline.

Could it be... my brother's Word of Power? It's been so long, has my brother become this powerful?
Recalling the shadow of facing death, Kazama Ruri almost bit her teeth to pieces!

How could this be? How could this be? Didn't the King say that he was the true hybrid emperor, the true number one hybrid on Earth?
