CHAPTER 7: THE THIRD WEAPON, KAMINO KARA
In the human world, Thomas defeated Captain Kasihin with a single strike. Meanwhile, Rion was severely injured while fighting Okita Souji. Despite exerting all his strength, Okita had not even broken a sweat. Rion attempted to drown Okita using the lake water, but it was futile.
Just as the end drew near, the ground shook. A pair of blue and white gauntlets flew through the air, pushing Okita back. The gauntlets, seemingly calling to Rion, were donned immediately. With one strike, Okita's head was shattered. He died with a smile, grateful to fall in battle rather than to disease. Suddenly, Miyamoto Musashi and many other samurai appeared. Rion fought until he collapsed from exhaustion, catching a glimpse of a blurred figure in his final moments.
Meanwhile, Michael and Nelson faced Ralcin.
Ralcin: "Why were you defeated by mere children?"
Michael: "They were too strong."
Ralcin: "Then, die."
With a snap of his fingers, Ralcin disintegrated them. Number 2, Liza, asked about Vozz's whereabouts, but Ralcin did not know.
Vina walked with a relaxed stride.
Vina: "Sigh. I am still shocked by the stupidity of humans who believe that everyone's Tara must be unique."
Liza: "Well, is that not the case?"
Vina: "That is incorrect. Taras can be exactly the same. However, there are indeed some Taras that are impossible to exist twice in a single era—for instance, Labra's Paralysis, Yakari's Luck, or Astra's Space Manipulation. In fact, almost all members of The Tarot, including Satya, Tirta, and Clover, possess powers that cannot have a duplicate. But for ordinary Taras—such as Water, Fire, Ice, Earth, and the like—they can be identical. The FHG are truly skilled at hiding that secret."
