Volume 4 Chapter 30 ACT.121 Assault (I)
Rai leaps from rooftop to rooftop, not heading to the place Dominic, but a bit away from it.
Dominic should take a *roundabout* route to gather the Holy Knights for the commotion.
With his destination and direction, and some local knowledge, one can guess his current location.
Simply put, Dominic underestimates Rai.
He might think highly of him, but it's not enough.
After Dominic left the Holy Church, Rai has been growing even without him knowing.
Not just in direct combat ability, but also in tactical vision and strategic thinking from fighting with the Reincarnator.
His growth rate far exceeds Dominic's expectations.
That's why this assault is effective.
"Found them."
Running, he uses all his senses to recognize a few of his subordinates, including Dominic and Saria.
A group of 4 men, including Dominic, and one carrying Saria on his shoulder.
Rai targets them and jumps down from the roof.
In mid-air, he draws his black blade and strikes with the force of his fall──.
"First, one."
He splits the head of the man nearest to the landing point.
"──uh"
A dry voice echoes at the sudden death of their companion.
The first to recover from the momentary pause is, as expected, the leader, Dominic.
"Get the woman out of here!"
He gives the order to the man carrying Saria while stepping out in front of the remaining 2.
Rai, who absorbed the shock of the high fall with his knees, can't stand up immediately.
Seeing this, Dominic launches a horizontal, stomping kick to push Rai away.
An attack meant to create distance and buy time to respond.
Instead of defending with a round shield, Rai crouches low and sends a sharp sword flash.
A low cut at his legs, Dominic stumbles as his momentum is broken.
Rai stopped the kick with his round shield and pushed back to break Dominic's stance.
"Don't underestimate me!"
Dominic didn't fight back directly.
Instead, he used the force to jump back lightly, making Rai's plan fail.
"Hurry and run!"
Dominic shouted to his stunned subordinates, who couldn't move in shock at the quick battle.
But Rai glared at them fiercely through the gap in his helmet and growled his declaration.
"No one is getting away!"
