Chapter 118 Nibelung Lirisk Part 1
Rowen didn’t know that the pride of the soldiers was aroused in order to execute his orders. Regarding Dante’s order to approach the battlefield, Rowen would only say “Well Done”.
Rowen can allow his Soldiers to not have a big strength but he won’t allow his men to become wimps!
The more Rowen fought, the happier he became, and he became obsessed with the feeling of fighting this Lizardmen-like Creature. Not to it as a person, but to this feeling!
He could feel that the Lizardman’s power was higher than his usual state but this Lizardman was not as good as him under his Overload Form.
However, with the heavy development of Armament Haki, this Lizard’s attack intensity is a little bit more on Rowen under his Overload Form, making it impossible for Rowen to not feel the shock every time he hits the Lizard’s body.
At the same time, the other side was as skilled at fighting as he was!
They really are very well matched!
Even though Rowen was capable of Thunder lighting Human’s superior speed, the other side was able to handle it with his lizard-like brute intuition and this creature was able to match Rowen blow to blow.
“No wonder Crocodile recruited you as a helper to deal with me. If you had participated in my fight with Crocodile and Jino then I don’t think I would have been able to win as easily as I did!”
Rowen had a frenetic Battle Intent on his face. Instead of suppressing his opponent with other skills, he used his fists, punches, and kicks to continuously fight against the Lizard Like Creature.
The Lizardmen-like Creature is also not afraid of death and pain, his arm muscles bulged as he fights against Rowen using his fists, claws, teeth, tail, and every joint of his body.
Boom!
A piece of Scale was torn apart from the Lizardmen-like Creature and Green blood flowed out along the wound, the Lizardman roared and instead of retreating, he attacked Rowen’s chest with his paws.
Siiii!
Large swaths of blood spattered on the ground like raindrops, and even Rowen’s heart was exposed with three of his ribs as the claw tore apart his skin and muscles.
However, Rowen was also not afraid of the scars and instead of showing restrain, he seized the opportunity to hold down the opponent’s shoulder and drove the lizard-man to the side in front of him, hitting his forehead with a ruthless expression on his face.
Boom!
The position of the Auricles or temples is far from a hard forehead of the Lizardmen-like Creature but the creature still got dizzy when Rowen’s attack landed on him.
But the Jailer Beasts are in the state that only emerged after the Awakening of the Zoan Fruit Ability User and their defense and recovery rate are absolute, so no matter how many times they fall, they would be able to quickly stand up and fight again.
Seeing Rowen pressing his hands on his shoulders, the Lizardmen-like Creature took this opportunity to jump up with supernatural flexibility and coiled backward before breaking free from Rowen’s hold, and at the same time, it lashed his tail towards Rowen.
Snap!
Rowen put his hands on the tail that was coming towards him and sneered before he kicked the opponent’s groin.
Rowen didn’t believe that there were no male parts behind the Lizardman shorts. After all, this creature was a male. Regardless of the insidious tricks in the real battle, the skills that can kill the opponent are worthy of being called ‘Skills’!
Hiss… Huā Lā La!
However, the Lizardman’s tail suddenly exerted a massive amount of force, and with the help of the tail support, the Lizardman forced his body to avoid Rowen’s attack.
At the same time, the sharp claws of his right foot swiftly passed through Rowen’s body, leaving three deep scars on his face and several teeth were flung out of his mouth along with blood.
However, Rowen was not someone who could be easily defeated. He withstood the attack and lifted his right foot and he ruthlessly kicked it at the position of the lizardman’s tail vertebra.
Kā Chā…!!
The two therefore separated and they both remained floating in the air with Geppō (Moonwalk), keeping their eyes on each other, while also taking this opportunity to recover from their injuries.
The two people made a single judgment in their hearts at the same time: This would be a long fight!
Although Rowen had a few more fatal wounds compared to the Lizardman, he was stronger than his opponent in terms of Observation Haki so most of the attacks were dodged by him.
Rowen also quickly recovered from those serious injuries with his self-healing ability!
There was no sign of what he had been through, except for the fact that he was covered in blood.
As expected, the Lizardman had mastered the Life Return (Seimei Kikan) as he mobilized this ability to control the muscles in his body to quickly heal the wounds on its body.
But the broken bones could not immediately grow up and the tail had also drooped to the ground as it loosely hangs on to the Lizardman’s body.
At the same time, its beastly intuition is not as good as Rowen’s Observation Haki, and the Thunder-Lighting Human takes the advantage of speed, and the Lizardman can almost only fight back passively.
During this fight, the Lizardmen had actually suffered from some serious hits!
The most serious injury on the Lizardman’s body was the funnel-shaped laceration scar on the left side of his face that goes from the bridge of the nose to the upper end of his body where Scale was shattered and bloodied.
It was Rowen who turned his fist into a claw and sneaked it into his face muscle during the fight and he abruptly tore off a large piece of flesh from the Lizardman’s body!
Now one of the lizard’s eyes can be said to have scrapped.
If Rowen wants to kill it then he can aim his attacks at the blind spot on the left side of the Lizardman’s body, whether this attack is used to lure the enemy or if he does it for a sneak attack, the Lizardman can be easily handled.
“So… Let’s do this…”
“Without the cooperation of Jino and Crocodile, pure strength and Armament Haki cannot pose a threat to me.”
Rowen was disappointed as he noticed the Lizardman’s current miserable state.
The tail vertebra is the most important piece of bone in the limb furthest from the head of the creature, and its status is equivalent to that of the spinal heart of the trunk area.
Destroying it not only means that the Lizardman would not be able to use his tail but it also means that the flexibility of the Lizardman’s feet is also affected, and it can be seen by the skewed Geppō (Moonwalk) of the Lizardman.
Jailer Beasts have fast recovery ability, breaking a few bones is like playing for them, you can see one or two from the original story of Impel Down Arc doing just that. But this kind of deadly attack is not so easy to recover even for the Jailer Beasts.
Otherwise, Everyone would have listed Zoan as the Strongest Devil Fruit. And if Zoan were the Strongest Devil Fruits then where would the Reputation of the Three Admirals go?
Buzz!!!
Losing the interest in fighting, Rowen pulled out the Thunder Cloud Sword from his waist and poured high-voltage current into it.
The Thunder Cloud Sword quickly responded, and a dazzling azure blue sword Energy appeared on the blade, and the endless sharpness being emitted by the word made people feel a daunting effect when looking at it.
