"Pest extermination!"
The one who arrived was Niko Ikki!
If Aiku was the executor of the defense, then Niko Ikki was its commander!
Although he did not possess Aiku's physique or speed, he had a much broader field of vision!
Aiku's vision was outstanding—but his line of sight was limited, whereas Niko Ikki truly possessed Superior Vision that allowed him to see through the entire field!
That was also why both Kira Ryosuke and Ego Jinpachi had chosen Niko Ikki to serve as the team's defender!
He had noticed Vulcan's breakthrough from the very beginning, but Niko Ikki had not chosen to go and block him.
He knew that his own physique could not stop Vulcan, and he could use this opportunity to set a trap for Ovelan!
Ovelan would definitely pass to Vulcan, and that instant would be when Niko Ikki made his move!
Aiku was the warrior of Blue Lock's defense, while Niko Ikki was an assassin hidden in the darkness, waiting for the right moment to strike a fatal blow!
"What?"
Ovelan was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Niko Ikki to appear.
Although Niko Ikki had performed fairly well during Blue Lock's Second Selection, overall, he was still close to being a transparent presence. What was more, with defensive pillars like Lorenzo and Aiku on the team, he was incredibly easy to overlook!
That was one of his advantages!
"Counterattack. Swallow them whole!"

Blue Lock's all-out counterattack had begun!
"Not bad."
Itoshi Sae received the ball and immediately sprinted forward!
Before Ovelan could recover, he discovered that, aside from Niko Ikki and Aiku, nearly everyone on the opposing team had immediately pushed forward!
What terrifying
