Even the Second Prince beside him was shocked by his actions. After all, no one here dared to fight using a method that was countered, let alone Uchiha Hikaru's utterly impossible plan for victory.
"Have you gone crazy? How can you do this, Uchiha Hikaru? You're facing the Ocean Divine Beast!" The Second Prince grabbed him, seeming to think that such an idea was impossible and could never work.
"Of course I know exactly what I'm doing. It's none of your concern. Second Prince, just stay there and watch obediently." Even he himself was stunned. The Second Prince had no idea what Uchiha Hikaru was talking about.
