We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

"So this is your 'royal power'... Brother, you've finally shown your true abilities."

Kazama Ruri's every breath felt like it was weighing down by a thousand pounds, but the smile on his face grew wider and wider.

Without the slightest hesitation, Genjiro seized the moment when Kazama Ruri's movements slowed down, and his sword continued to strike the demon before him like flowing water.

Swish swish!

Kazama Ruri's knees were slightly bent, as if they might be crushed by gravity at any moment.

But the next moment, he suddenly looked up, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes.

The 'royal blood' within him seemed to be ignited, and power burst forth inch by inch from his muscles.

His movements were still slow, but they were no longer as clumsy as before, and he was gradually adapting to the pressure.

Genjiro's pupils contracted.

"Can one maintain action within the domain of 'royal power'?"

He swung his knife again, and the spider cut into his hand, surprisingly revealing a touch of staff fighting style.

This move is the "Heart Staff" of the Natural Rishin-ryu school of swordsmanship. This swordsmanship originally evolved from staff techniques. It does not emphasize speed but has a deep and powerful force, which is actually a counter to Kazama Ruri at the moment.

however,

Kazama Ruri suddenly exerted force with his feet, and he actually resisted the gravity and raised his sword to meet the attack!

boom! ! !

It's blocked!!!

Despite Kazama Ruri being trapped in the realm of 'Royal Power', Genjiro was still unable to do anything to him.

Kazama Ruri shook her head:

"Brother... I told you long ago, you can't kill me."

He suddenly spun around, his umbrella-blade slashing horizontally, leaving a trail of rain-soaked afterimages as it aimed straight at Genjiro's waist!

Despite being enveloped by 'royal power', he is becoming more and more accustomed to this environment.

"Hahaha!"

Ruri Kazama's laughter echoed in the rain, her voice hoarse yet wild.

"Brother! Do you know? Our bloodline is born for battle! Oppression? Restraint? These things... will only make us gradually adapt!"

His movements became faster and faster, and the shadow of his blade gradually merged with the raindrops. Although the gravity field of 'Royal Power' was still there, it seemed to have no effect on him.

Yuan Zhisheng was secretly alarmed.

He was well aware of the power of the 'royal authority'. Ordinary 'demons' couldn't even move half a step when they were in its presence, but Kazama Ruri could not only move, but also gradually adapt to this pressure.

Is this the difference in bloodline?

Yuan Zhisheng's eyes turned cold and sharp again.

His sword strikes suddenly surged, and his killing intent surged like a tidal wave.

Kazama Ruri suddenly smiled silently:

"Brother, are you really curious about my Word Spirit? You have the 'royal power', but what do I have?"

"Of course I can tell you that there were no secrets between us to begin with."

He slowly opened his hands, and the energy within his body suddenly surged.

A completely unrecognizable language flowed from deep within his throat.

Word of Power—'Dream Eater'

This is an extremely rare incantation, with a simple and direct effect: it can treat dreams as a mental prison, trapping the enemy in a dream for a long time from which they cannot escape.

He began to sing a short, hypnotic song, his voice ethereal and melodious... as if someone were softly singing beside your pillow in the dead of night, making you want to close your eyes.

Tick.

Raindrops fell on the stone steps, but Yuan Zhisheng felt that the sounds around him were gradually becoming blurred.

The colors of the world seemed to dim, as if a domain similar to 'royal power' was quietly expanding.

He felt as if he were standing in the middle of the deep sea, with only the low sound of the tide in his ears, gradually dragging him into darkness.

Ruri Kazama's chanting grew clearer and clearer, and it even sounded somewhat beautiful in the rain.

Yuan Zhisheng's mind wavered.

The rain blurred his vision, turning gray. He even saw his younger brother, as a child, standing at the shrine entrance, waving innocently at him in his hallucination.

Danger! !! !!

Yuan Zhisheng bit his tongue hard, trying to stay awake with the excruciating pain, but the dream continued to erode his reason.

He knew he was enveloped by the 'Dream Eater', but he couldn't make any move.

"I didn't expect that..."

"Yuan Zhisheng murmured."

He had made many plans for today's reunion... but he overlooked a crucial point: what should he do if his strength was insufficient to fight against Genji?

As 'Amaterasu no Mikoto', Genjiro has always been confident in his own strength, which is why he dared not let the Execution Bureau agents exhaust Kazama Ruri's stamina.

A bitter smile appeared on Yuan Zhisheng's face.

Just as he was about to completely sink into the 'Dream Eater',

suddenly!

hum!

An unfamiliar fluctuation silently invaded the entire area.

The previously spreading 'Dream Eater' was actually torn open with a gap.

Kazama Ruri paused in her chanting, and his eye twitched violently.

"Wait...there's someone!"

The transparent area began to tremble. He tried to speed up his chanting, but the external force was like cold water poured on a flame, instantly extinguishing most of the 'Dream Eater'.

Ruri Kazama's face suddenly twisted in pain.

"who is it!"

This was the first time today that he felt things were out of control.

He felt as if his words were being suppressed by some entity, and his carefully crafted dream shattered before it could even take effect.

"This word of power... is like 'precepts'."

Kazama Ruri narrowed her eyes slightly.

He suddenly remembered a message that Sakurai Kogure had once reported to him.

It is said that a high-ranking hybrid has appeared in Tokyo, and his Word of Power is suspected to be 'Precepts', but he doesn't seem to be a member of the Snake Clan.

Because if this person really belonged to the Enforcement Bureau, there was absolutely no way he would let the 'Dragon Horse' of the Fierce Ghost Clan go back to the mountains.

Ruri Kazama's thoughts drifted.

Combined with the nickname of the poster on the Hunter website... he vaguely guessed the identity of the hybrid who was releasing 'Discipline'.

"So you're the one from 'ZONE'... You really came."

"But you only dare to hide in the shadows? Why don't you dare to show yourself?"

the other side,

Genji suddenly trembled, instantly waking up from the vortex of the 'Dream Eater'.

It is said that when a person is sleeping for a long time, their body will suddenly twitch and then wake up, because the body is testing whether the person is still alive.

The case of Genjiro just now is an example of this.

His breathing was rapid, and his body was covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, he still had the Spider Cutter in his hand, which calmed him down a little.

“Someone interrupted Genji’s incantation.”

He quickly realized what had happened.

Yuan Zhisheng was secretly shocked.

Having fought with Kazama Ruri for so long, he now fully understands just how terrifying his younger brother's strength truly is.

It's fair to say that, apart from him, almost no one in the entire Snake Clan could last five rounds against him.

A demon with 'royal blood' flowing through its veins... The thing the Snake Clan least wanted to see has still happened.

But the problem is,

'Royal blood' is already the most elite bloodline in the world.

If this hybrid, who has yet to appear, is able to suppress the power of the 'Emperor's' words, then what level of strength does it possess?

Chapter 198 Ruri Kazama's Defeat and Escape, the King and Hatsuka Arrive

A storm raged in Yuan Zhisheng's heart.

His shock was no less than that of Kazama Ruri.

He knew how terrifying his younger brother's strength was, and even had a vague suspicion that his bloodline was superior to his own.

But now... at the crucial moment when the battle between the two was about to be decided, Kazama Ruri's incantation was interrupted.

"Vice Principal?!"

Yuan Zhisheng immediately recalled the Night Watchman's Word of Power from his time studying at Kassel College.

With the aid of alchemical arrays, the Night Watchers' words can produce unimaginable effects.

The problem is... Nicholas Flamel rarely leaves the Kassel College campus, so why would he come here?

"Have people from Kassel College infiltrated Japan?"

"Or is this person who suddenly appeared... the one from 'ZONE'?"

"'ZONE' is from Kassel College?"

A thousand thoughts flashed through Yuan Zhisheng's mind in an instant.

The battle was critical, so he immediately used the Spider Cutter to protect his vital points, retreated several meters to avoid Kazama Ruri's attack range, and then calmly observed his surroundings.

The intense battle was instantly calmed down as if doused with a bucket of cold water.

The torrential rain continued to pour down like a waterfall, and only then did Genjiro calm down and begin to recall the battle situation at that time.

The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became. He had originally thought that the executive bureau agents had already completely sealed off the area, and that they would be able to detect anyone's movements as soon as they approached.

Even with her considerable strength, Kazama Ruri's intrusion was still pinpointed because she killed several Executive Bureau agents stationed at fixed locations along the way.

However, Genji never noticed the trace of the half-breed who released the "commandment".

He didn't even know how long this hybrid had been observing their battle, nor did he understand why the other party had made a move at this particular moment, sealing Kazama Ruri's Word of Power.

“It’s definitely not someone from the family… Apart from me, there’s no other half-blood in the family who can suppress the ‘royal blood’.”

Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but think of the mysterious 'ZONE'.

“Just now, Chinu said that this ‘ZONE’ is not a member of the Demon Clan, so why did he go to so much trouble to make Chinu and me reunite here?”

"Moreover... everything about the young girl is a top secret of the Snake Clan. How could Kassel College possibly know that I have a younger brother? Besides, everything that happened in the past has long been buried in time."

Yuan Zhisheng was filled with doubt.

However, one thing he was gradually becoming certain of was that the person who stirred up his and his brother's past on the Hunter website was most likely the half-breed who was hiding in the shadows and releasing 'commandments'.

"This person... is neither a member of the Demon Clan nor a member of the Snake Clan. So who exactly is he?"

Everything that happened today is too bizarre... If this 'ZONE' is indeed a foreign force, then depleting the high-end combat power between the Snake Clan and the Demon Clan seems to be the option that best serves their interests.

But this doesn't explain why he would save him at the most critical moment.

Given Kazama Ruri's level of Word Spirit abilities, once she's trapped in the 'Dream Eater,' she'll probably never be able to escape.

However, the fact that this 'ZONE' was able to interrupt the release of the Word of Power at the very moment it was about to be completed shows that their grasp of the battle situation is also not to be underestimated.
