"Ah!" Raditz was struck in the face, sending him flying backward and crashing into the wall.
Hey!
The resounding impact reverberated, causing the wall to crumble. Raditz felt a burning pain in his back.
"No. 1 experimental body attack! No. 1 experimental body attack!"
The sharp voice urgently shouted. On the other side, Bondlers extended his arm, fingers spread open, and gathered a dark red Ki bomb.
Has it learned how to use Ki bombs? Raditz was shocked.
This body is unlike any machine before. It's controlled by Bondlers chip, meaning it is Bondlers himself! With so much collected data, it's no wonder it's so powerful, capable of fighting Raditz even in his five-times Kaio-ken state.
Not wanting to wait any longer, the dark red Ki bombs were already on their way. Raditz moved as best he could to avoid them. The explosions behind him ripped the air, sparks scattering and thundering.
The speed of Raditz's five-fold Kaio-ken easily surpassed that of the Ki bombs. The dark space was bombarded, yet Raditz remained unscathed.
He had been observing Bondlers attack pattern. The launch time of each Ki bomb was approximately half a second. That gap was his opportunity to counterattack! Half a second was enough for him!
Bondlers indeed had a momentary delay during the Ki accumulation interval. At that moment, Raditz took flight, radiating a red glow like the sun descending upon the earth, igniting everything!
He tried to struck Bondlers in the face like a crimson meteor, his tremendous power capable of shattering the earth. But Bondlers dodged and attacked back.
"Hey!"
Raditz was sent flying, crashing against the wall once again, feeling the pain intensify in his back.
"How is this possible?"
"I've calculated your combat mode. While you're in the red state and your speed surpasses mine, but your attacks are too predictable. I've seen all your moves."
"Hey, you guys are emotionless and oblivious." Raditz mocked Bondlers, though inside his heart, he was already panicking. Nonetheless, he wouldn't give up. "Watch this!"
Suddenly, Raditz's hands overlapped, and he unleashed a devastating Ki wave toward Bondlers.
Bondlers stepped forward, seemingly unperturbed by the shock wave. The light rippled like a river, causing the ground to split apart and then disappear.
As the light dissipated, Raditz found himself surrounded by a triangular transparent shield that absorbed the Ki wave's energy entirely. And because of this Ki wave, Bondlers form appeared even sturdier, as if it had grown stronger...
"This type of attack is ineffective against me. My Ki is everlasting and will never be depleted."
"Oh, his strength is greater than I thought, and he has some cunning tricks up his sleeve," Raditz thought to himself. He clenched his fist and took a deep breath.
He had assumed that the human body wouldn't possess an Ki absorption shield, yet it absorbed the Ki wave. It seemed that just like the dismantled metal dragon, it too had been fortified!
Raditz charged once again, taking the initiative to attack.
"Useless." Bondlers raised his hand, preparing to counterattack. But suddenly, Raditz in front of him multiplied from one to two, two to four, and eventually eight, surrounding Bondlers on all sides.
How could there be eight?
Bondlers threw a punch, but it struck only a shadow, and Latiz himself stood still as if pondering his existence.
In that moment, a foot landed in front of Bondlers face, pushing it back a few steps, leaving a clear shoeprint on its face.
"As expected, you can't handle moves you haven't seen before!" Raditz taunted with a smile, quickly giving chase and circling around Bondlers.
Bondlers staggered from the heavy blow, doubling over in pain. Seizing the opportunity, Raditz leaped behind Bondlers, his elbow crashing down onto the ground. The impact caused the ground to crack severely, with the cracks spreading all the way to the wall.
In that moment, the body, which resembled human skin, was punctured, and crimson blood spilled out from the impact.
"I didn't expect you to bleed, and it's still red."
"You're the same," Bondlers coldly whispered, as it pushed itself up with its limbs and performed a graceful leap, soaring through the air, ultimately landing in front of Raditz.
"Ha!" It raised one leg, swiftly kicking back and pulling Raditz toward it.
Fortunately, Raditz's reflexes were quick, and he managed to block some of the force, only taking a few steps back. To retaliate, Raditz's eyes widened, his expression dramatically changing.
Several phantoms appeared in front of him, spinning around him. Afterimages?
Is it learning at such an incredible speed?
Raditz gritted his teeth, scanning left and right, unable to sense the other's Ki. If he wanted to catch the real body within the afterimage, he could only rely on his intuition and his eyes. The shadows of the figures whirled rapidly within his field of vision, closing in on him.
"It's here!"
With a fierce shout, Raditz struck out toward the back.
Bondlers also threw a punch, and the two collided with tremendous force. The air surged, causing the ground's cracks to widen further, and even the lower edge of the iron wall showed signs of loosening.
Almost simultaneously, both of them lifted their legs, launching kicks.
Fists and feet clashed in a whirlwind of explosive power. The sound of impacts and vibrations resonated together. Raditz barely evaded Bondlers strikes, countering with his own punches and hooks. In an instant, Bondlers appeared behind him, only to be met with an elbow strike to its back, causing it to stagger. But Raditz had already darted behind Bondlers, delivering kicks and strikes in quick succession, swiftly pivoting. Yet Bondlers managed to land a spinning kick on Raditz.
"Seems like you're just like me, huh?" Raditz retreated a few meters, readying his legs and feet.
After the repeated strikes, his legs were slightly trembling. As he looked at Bondlers, it still maintained its cold demeanor, despite the shoeprint on its face and the bleeding eyebrows. It showed no signs of weakness.
"Your strength is waning."
The irritating electronic voice echoed once again, filling the space. Raditz knew all too well that it was referring to him. While the power of his five-fold Kaio-ken was formidable, it came at a cost of physical exertion. His intense battle with Bondlers had taken its toll, and his physical stamina was already diminished.
The fight between the two was evenly matched, and using five times Kaio-ken, the power diminished Raditz's physical advantage. He was on the verge of defeat.
Before him, Bondlers exerted pressure, its fingers emanating a piercing cold light, resembling a whip or a blade. It raised its hand and swung! "Swish, swish—" The shining blades cleaved through the air, creating a scar that tore through the wind, as if it had sliced the very fabric of space in two!
Raditz quickly ducked, narrowly evading the attack, while his long hair was slightly trimmed, the strands floating in the air, swaying.
A dangerous atmosphere hung in the air.
"Damn it, I need to push myself to an even higher level. But I haven't found a way to counter it. Once I activate it..." Raditz made up his mind, gritting his teeth, pushing his limits further. "This is the only way. Time to go beyond, six times Kaio-ken!"
