Knov remained perfectly calm. By the time the severed limb began to swell, he had already put up his defenses.
But the explosion beside him was unimportant, because the real threat had always been Youpi himself.
As the explosion erupted, Knov had already seen Youpi's skin writhing as blade-like flesh gathered on his body.
That was Youpi's killing move against him!
But just then, several Morels leaped out of the smoke above Youpi and simultaneously hurled their pipes at him.
Youpi's gaze sharpened. This was an attack they had not used before.
And judging from his opponent's fighting style, that pipe should have been extremely important to him. If this was not a killing move, throwing it out and letting Youpi destroy it would be tantamount to crippling himself.
With his opponent's intelligence, he would never make such a foolish choice!
Wariness rose in Youpi's heart. Should he explode, dodge, or counterattack?
An explosion could hit Knov, but reconstructing himself afterward would leave him briefly vulnerable and unable to move.
The first time he used it, his opponents might not notice. But using it again would be dangerous, given that his opponent could "open a door" near him at any moment.
