A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering force!
A furious, powerful strike from a First-tier Legendary...
Had enough force to absolutely destroy the world.
The faint smile on Piedmon's face did not change.
Facing the flaming bird sweeping toward him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The smile at the corner of his mouth became even more unrestrained.
In the next second, his figure disappeared once again.
He turned transparent in an instant.
Then, he appeared again at one side not far away.
The distance he moved was extremely short.
So short that it was only just enough to avoid the attack's range.
How is that possible?
The strike missed.
Ho-Oh's heart trembled violently, and he was overwhelmed with shock.
This move had clearly locked onto Piedmon's position absolutely.
It was an attack that should have been guaranteed to hit.
How could he possibly dodge it?
Could it be?
Was it the same illusion-like trick from before?
No!
Ho-Oh immediately denied that guess in his heart.
Because when the Air Slash had missed earlier, he had clearly sensed Piedmon's aura vanish, which was why the attack had failed to land.
But now, Piedmon's aura had remained within his perception the entire time.
It had never disappeared.
The reason Sky Attack missed...
Was because this guy, in an extremely brief instant, had used speed so unbelievably fast that he had just barely avoided it!
What a terrifying opponent!
After realizing this, Ho-Oh's evaluation of Piedmon rose by another level.
This guy...
Could definitely be considered the strongest and most troublesome opponent he had ever faced across his long, long years!
Whoosh!!
After his strike missed, Ho-Oh instantly changed direction.
His high-speed diving posture was forcefully stopped.
Then, he flew upward again with even greater speed.
A First-tier Legendary was still a First-tier Legendary.
Even after missing his attack, Ho-Oh instantly changed direction.
Sky Attack came in for a second consecutive strike.
He was certain!
Even if Piedmon's reaction speed and movement speed were too fast...
He absolutely would not be able to react in time!
This!
Was absolutely a guaranteed hit!
However!
A scene that exceeded his expectations appeared once again...
The instant he changed direction and attacked again, Piedmon seemed to have read his intention in advance.
Without the slightest pause, he moved his position once more.
Not a hair more, not a hair less.
The distance was once again only just enough to avoid the attack's range.
Ho-Oh's burning body almost brushed past Piedmon's jester robes!
How is that possible?
Ho-Oh, who had missed again, had already realized that something was wrong.
Once could be a coincidence!
But twice meant inevitability!
This guy could avoid his attacks!
It was definitely not because of instinct or reaction speed!
He had absolutely read his attack in advance!
He had predicted his route and actions!
Damn it!
After missing, Ho-Oh quickly stopped his body and hovered in midair.
The flames around him scattered.
His crimson phoenix eyes stared at Piedmon's mocking face, filled with anger and fear.
This battle...
Was gradually developing in a direction that was unfavorable to him.
The scales of victory...
Were also gradually tilting toward the other side.
