At that moment, a Tiger-headed Eagle swooped down from the sky at Lubbock. Seeing it, Lubbock immediately wove the threads in his hands into a spear and thrust it at the tiger-headed eagle.
Meanwhile, Bonnie stared at Leone ahead of her, who seemed to be radiating the aura of the King of Beasts. An excited smile spread across her face. Leone was clearly an expert in close combat, and that was exactly Bonnie's kind of opponent.
Wearing the replacement CAS-IV Rioter gauntlets her teacher had given her, Bonnie charged straight in. Though she had no Imperial Arm, she did not believe that, with her Stigmata and weapon, she was any weaker than those so-called Imperial Arm users.
She had even killed Imperial Arm users before, so she had no fear of Imperial Arms at all. Some Imperial Arms were simply especially insidious, so she just had to be careful.
CAS-IV Rioter Star Rating: ★★★★☆ Level: 35 Attribute Amplification: Attack, critical hit Innate Skills: Doomsday Assault, Crusher
"Take this punch!"
Bonnie rapidly rushed in front of Leone and threw a punch at her.
"Hmph!"
Naturally, Leone refused to be outdone. She was an Imperial Arm user who wielded Beast King Transformation [Lion King]. She had never feared anyone in a head-on fight, much less now, when she was in her Beastification state and her physical abilities had undergone a tremendous leap.
She met the blow head-on without backing down!
Boom—
As their fists collided, even the surrounding air seemed unable to withstand it, erupting with a thunderous air blast. The carefully laid stone road beneath both Bonnie and Leone began to crack.
What terrifying strength!
Leone felt a horrifying force surge through her hand, forcing her to take a step back. Her fist even seemed to have gone numb.
