A crimson light rapidly shifted in mid-air.
The figure that had been hit head-on by the slash in front of Reinhard turned into an afterimage and slowly dissipated.
Reinhard immediately realized that Kenma had utilized his ultra-high speed in the air, combined with a portion of his own flesh and blood, to create a lifelike afterimage.
Sensing the sound of splitting air coming from behind, Reinhard's battle instincts frantically reminded him that an attack capable of threatening his life was descending. But he could feel that it was too late.
Clad in crimson armor, Kenma descended, swinging a powerful hand-blade at Reinhard.
"Got you!"
The hand-blade slashed onto Reinhard's neck.
Divine Protection of the Skin: The user's skin possesses extremely strong toughness, capable of blocking most physical attacks in the world, and will never develop spots or pimples.
Divine Protection of the Muscles: The user's muscles do not require exercise, and while possessing a formidable physique, they still maintain robust strength.
Even with the combination of various defensive-type DivineProtections, Kenma's hand-blade still easily sliced open Reinhard's skin. Then came the muscles and the trachea, piercing all the way through to the other side.
Splat!
Blood splattered like a fountain, and Reinhard's head hair fell through mid-air, along with the headless corpse still dressed in pristine white knight attire.
Finally triggered this guy's resurrection, huh.
Kenma hovered in mid-air, unable to help but feel a sense of emotion.
There was still a gap in hard strength between himself and Reinhard.
This guy had too many Divine Protections. Up until now, there were at least hundreds of them, and the World Will was constantly patching him up.
From the beginning of the battle until now, he could feel that Reinhard had added at least six or more combat-type Divine Protections.
Under this gap in strength, he could not completely defeat the opponent.
Only after Reinhard sliced him open several times in succession did he barely trigger the opponent's resurrection once.
Right at that moment, at the exact instant when Kenma watched Reinhard's head be lopped off and his whole body relaxed, the headless corpse dressed in pristine white knight attire suddenly spun around in mid-air, and a blue trace slid down from mid-air.
It slashed from the top of Kenma's head all the way down to his lower body, splitting the relaxed Kenma vertically into two halves on the spot.
After unleashing this slash, Reinhard's headless corpse began to burn with raging flames, and then fell toward the ground.
Eh?!
Looking at his body that had suddenly been split into two halves, Kenma could not help but be dumbfounded.
For real?
This vitality was simply outrageous. His head had been chopped off, yet he could still launch such a powerful attack?
Sure enough, a cheater is a cheater. This is an inexplicable freak of nature.
Kenma reached out, pressed down on both halves of his head, and then forcefully shoved them back together in the middle, his wound rapidly healing.
By the time he flew back to the ground, the raging flames burning on Reinhard's body had dissipated, and he stood in place completely unharmed.
Divine Protection of the Phoenix: The user can resurrect once after death, and can choose to resurrect anywhere in the world.
At the very moment of resurrection, Reinhard perceived that he had unexpectedly acquired a new Divine Protection once again.
Divine Protection of the Phoenix: Next: The user can resurrect once, and is able to choose to resurrect anywhere in the world.
Seeing Kenma land on the ground, Reinhard stepped forward and respectfully made a gesture.
"Subaru-sama, shall we continue sparring? If you still wish to fight again, I am at your disposal at any time."
Kenma had just sensed that the instant Reinhard's flames dissipated, a faint light of acquiring a Divine Protection flashed across his body once more.
Thinking of the Re:Zero jokes from his past life, he felt a bit curious, so he tentatively asked, "Let us stop fighting for now. Speaking of which, Reinhard, did you just acquire a new Divine Protection of the Phoenix?"
Reinhard was stunned, clearly not expecting Kenma to be able to point this out.
But immediately after, the trace of doubt in his heart dissipated.
Being able to say the new Divine Protection I obtained...
For such a miraculous Subaru-sama, this is already the most insignificant point.
Reinhard had no intention of concealing it and chose to speak the truth, "Yes, Subaru-sama. However, what I just obtained is not the original Divine Protection of the Phoenix, but a new Divine Protection that has an effect similar to the Divine Protection of the Phoenix."
Kenma blinked. "Od Laguna is really good to you. I am a bit curious, if I kill you one more time right now, what kind of Divine Protection will the world give you?"
Hearing that Kenma wanted to kill him again, Reinhard did not hesitate even for a single second and exposed his neck.
"Please go ahead, Subaru-sama."
The hand-blade swung out, and Reinhard's head hit the ground. The headless corpse began to burn with raging flames once more, but compared to last time, the flames this time were tinged with a trace of gold.
In less than a few seconds, Reinhard stood up again, his body remaining completely immaculate as always.
He opened his eyes, and a new Divine Protection was generated once again.
Divine Protection of the Phoenix: Next Next: The user can resurrect once after death, and can choose to resurrect anywhere in the world.
After listening to Reinhard's description, Kenma could not hold it together anymore either.
Infinite resurrection?
Cheating players really do not make any sense!
