Chapter 391 Every Blow
"N—No... This can't be..." Seki stuttered, unable to believe what she had just seen.
She watched as Reign was hit by the powerful attack and vanished from the force of it.
In her mind, there was no way he could have survived an attack strong enough to tear through metal and concrete like that.
'Is he... is he really gone?' Nobu muttered, his voice full of worry. Reign had been their only hope. With him out of the picture, they would be easy targets for the hunter.
'No, I can't give up for Seki-sama's sake,' Nobu thought, determined to protect her. He planned to use the hunter's wounded state to launch a sneak attack.
But before he could act, Tiara spoke up.
"I wouldn't try that if I were you. I can still kill you, even with just one hand," she warned, her voice dripping with contempt.
She turned towards them with a cruel smile spreading across her face. Her eyes glinted sadistically as she looked at the two.
It was obvious she planned to take out all her remaining frustration on them.
Her twisted mind was set on torturing them before ending their lives.
Nobu, struggling with pain, forced himself to stand. He gritted his teeth, using his remaining arm to brace himself against her attack.
His resolve was clear—he would not let Tiara harm Seki until his last breath.
"Seki-sama, I know this might sound disrespectful, but I need to tell you something before I die," Nobu said, his voice strained .
Seki looked at him, puzzled by the odd tension in his voice.
"What is it, Nobu-san?" she asked.
Nobu took a deep breath, hesitating for a moment. His heart raced as he gathered the courage to speak.
Finally, he blurted out, "I... I like you," his voice shaky but sincere.
"What?" Seki's eyes widened in surprise. She stared at him, looking awkward.
To her, Nobu had always been like a guardian or even an older uncle. His sudden confession felt out of place, especially because of their age gap.
Seki felt uncomfortable and unsure how to respond. She cared for him, but not in a romantic way.
If there was someone she liked, it would definitely be Reign.
After all, he was extremely good-looking and powerful person, so it wasn't surprising that others would be drawn to him.
"Nobu-san, I..." Seki hesitated, her voice soft. She didn't want to hurt him, but she also knew she couldn't lie.
"I'm really flattered, but..." She paused, looking for the gentlest way to reject him.
"I've always seen you more like... family. Like an uncle, you know?" She bit her lip, hoping she hadn't crushed him too badly.
Nobu sighed heavily, his shoulders slumping. He had expected this, but somehow hearing it still stung.
At least he had said what he needed to say. Now, he could die without regrets.
Tiara watched the exchange with a growing smirk.
"Oh, this is just perfect!" she giggled. "Here we are, in the middle of a battle, and you're confessing your feelings? "
She wiped a tear from her eye, still laughing at how ridiculous the situation was.
THUD!
Just then, a sound shook the ground, drawing everyone's attention.
From the sky, Reign landed, his clothes completely shredded and leaving him naked.
His impressive physique and the sudden, unexpected display of his long and impressive crown jewel caught them off guard.
"Kya!" Seki's face turned bright red, her eyes widening in shock and embarrassment. She quickly averted her gaze, trying to shield her eyes from the sight.
Nobu stood there, stunned and feeling really insecure. He had never felt so self-conscious about his own manhood before; the contrast between Reign's impressive size and his own situation was unfair.
Even Tiara, who had seen her fair share of men in her time, couldn't help but notice the flawless nature of Reign's anatomy.
From its length and width to its shape, it looked almost unreal, as if it had been sculpted by the god of lust itself.
'Stop it,' she shook her head, trying to regain her composure.
"How are you still alive?" Tiara demanded.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Reign glanced at Tiara, then turned his gaze to Nobu and Seki before locking eyes with her again. His lips curled into a smirk.
"You didn't really think a little blast would kill me, did you?" he asked.
The confidence in his voice sent a chill through the air, making it clear he was far from defeated.
"Now, ready to keep going?" Reign asked, flashing a nonchalant grin as if the battle before had been a casual warm-up.
"Tsk," Tiara clicked her tongue in frustration.
She grabbed her katana with her working hand and got ready to attack . She was set on winning and killing her opponent for good.
SWOOOOSH!
She vanished, and Reign quickly followed.
They reappeared in the center of the corridor, clashing .
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
Their clash sent out shockwaves so powerful that the walls and floors cracked under the pressure. Each hit caused the air to vibrate, and sharp gusts of wind sliced through the building, leaving deep gashes in the concrete.
'I can win this !' she muttered.

She believed that her opponent was just pretending to be unaffected by her previous attack and that he was actually close to being defeated.
But the more they fought, the more she realized how stupid she was.
He did not get tired and began to dominate her. She tried to fight back, but he quickly caught her other wrist and delivered a powerful blow to her stomach.
Desperate to survive, she screamed at his face, hoping to hurt him.
But, Reign didn't fall for the trick twice.
Instead, he moved to her blind spot and kicked her hard, sending her crashing through several walls.
Without giving her a moment to recover, he dashed forward, and grabbed her by the hair, yanking her roughly from the ground.
Next, he swung her around and slammed her face-first into the floor again and again.
SLAM!
SLAM!
SLAM!
Each impact shattered the tiles beneath her, creating cracks that spread with every blow.
