Chapter 32

Nozades once again allowed Chris to attack as he pleased. Even Chris' Silent Punch was easily blocked by Nozades after he completely switched to a defensive stance.

"Every time I attack, the black stripes on his body would twist unnaturally" Chris silently calculated, took another deep breath, and attacked Nozades' head.

The black stripes on Nozades' face twisted slightly, but he quickly retreated and punched back.

Nozades wasn't as pleased as he appeared to be, in fact, he was extremely worried.

Although Chris appeared to be completely helpless against him and was being suppressed, the other party's strength was unfathomable. Every time Nozades thought he could defeat the other party, the other party would easily dodge it. He felt like he couldn't grasp the other party's weakness at all.

If this goes on, it won't be good for me. That thought flashed through Nozades' mind as he continued to endure Chris' attacks. Just a little bit more and I'll be able to control this fist technique.

"With Sir Negri's blessing, I will definitely be the final winner!" Nozades firmly believed in himself.

5 years ago, he was only the second son of a noble family in the Kingdom of Royas, unable to inherit his family's title, he had to choose between becoming his older brother's butler or following a scholar and becoming their disciple.

At that time, he had already anticipated the boring life ahead of him. It was Thackery's biography of Chris Modo that inspired Nozades, causing him to yearn for that kind of adventurous life, so he chose to leave his emotionless family.

He wandered around the Kingdom of Royas, training his strength. Unfortunately, he was only the second son of a noble family, if he wasn't a bit smart, he wouldn't have been able to reach Reystromia.

5 years ago, Reystromia wasn't as prosperous as it was now, so much so that the Kent tribe would occasionally come to harass it. When he arrived, the Crowmen hadn't even been officially established yet, only the predecessor of the Crowmen organization: the Reya Guard Corps.

At the time, his body wasn't particularly strong, and he didn't have enough money to buy weapons, so he could barely survive in Reya. It wouldn't be strange for him to die of sickness or starvation at any time. The adventurous life wasn't as good as he thought it would be.

One time, when he followed a merchant group to make a living, they were intercepted by the Kent tribe. He tried to resist, but was mercilessly beaten down by the Kent tribe, just like right now, he was being attacked by their fists and kicks.

He silently endured the pain of being beaten, then took advantage of a moment when a Kent tribe was careless to bite him in the neck. It was because of this unruliness that the guard corps' captain Yadley invited him to join the newly established Crowmen organization after he was saved by the guard corps.

At the time, he endured the Kent tribesmen's beatings in order to retaliate, and now he was enduring Chris' attacks in order to retaliate. When he first became a Crowmen and chose the method of implantation, he understood his own strengths and weaknesses, so he implanted Lord Negary's grace into different parts of his body.

The substance called 'Black Crow' had formed a symbiotic relationship with him, not only did it allow his body to break through the limits of humans, but it also granted him a unique ability.

The 'Black Crow' germs were actually very fragile, they could easily be killed by external stimuli, so every time before Chris's attack could reach him, a part of the [Black Crow] germs would die, the pain allowed Nozades to predict where his opponent was going to attack.

Furthermore, the opponent's attack pattern would be recorded by the [Black Crow] germs all over his body, as long as he had enough data, he would be able to imitate that attack pattern.

Against this type of enemy, he would basically be invincible against their attacks, not to mention that he would be able to learn that attack pattern. This would be a huge psychological blow to the enemy, as long as he could pinpoint their weakness, he would be able to easily defeat them.

"I can feel it, following the memories of the [Black Crow] germs, it's exactly this fist technique!" Nozades dodged another attack from Chris, following the memories recorded by the [Black Crow] germs, Nozades threw a punch.

The Silent Punch that was perfectly in tune with its surroundings, with the support of Nozades' already powerful physique, was unbelievably fast. Even though Chris, who was in tune with the rhythm of his surroundings, noticed the attack, his body couldn't keep up with the speed of the punch.

"That's it, as long as this punch hits, even a legendary ranger is still a human, even if he doesn't die, he'll still lose his ability to fight!" Nozades was also unable to maintain his calm, after all, this punch would decide whether or not he could win against his idol.

Nozades' expression of victory appeared on his face, but as soon as it appeared, it was immediately cut off. Nozades felt his heart skip a beat, as if something extremely out of place had jumped out at that moment. His fist only grazed past Chris's cheek as his body fell to the ground.

"This is …" Nozades coughed up blood, his expression filled with disbelief. He didn't notice any attack at all. In that split second, he seemed to have lost all of his senses, and by the time he regained consciousness, he had already lost.

Chris ignored Nozades and continued to walk forward. Negri was still recovering, there was no time to waste.

"It's breathing, right?" Nozades struggled to stand up, but once again slipped and fell to the ground. "That thing that's out of place is breathing, right!!"

The scene of Chris's attack appeared in Nozades' mind. Chris would always take a deep breath before he attacked, and at that split second, Chris exhaled. It was also that breath that caused something in his body to explode, causing him to lose his ability to fight.

"Just keep lying down, your organs have already been damaged by my technique, if you keep moving, your body will definitely be crippled or even die!" Chris didn't turn around and continued to walk forward. He didn't dislike this Nozades, but he wasn't going to actively reveal the secret of his technique.

"The battle isn't over yet!!" Nozades endured the pain in his organs and leapt forward to grab Chris's right leg. The black stripes on his body moved towards his face as he bit down on Chris's right leg.

"This is … Metal Rhythm!" Chris took a deep breath and adjusted the rhythm on his leg to match the rhythm of the metal. This technique could temporarily increase his defense, but it also caused his own rhythm to become out of sync.
