My Annoying Aura Follows Me Into Another World

Chapter 15: Overdue Realization

*DRIP*

*DRIP* *DRIP*

A murky red liquid flows outward..

Into the scorched earth around it..

Making a puddle before anyone could notice..

Drops became bigger and bigger until..

*GUHAA*

A wave of blood spurts out from different parts of the body..

Likening it to a broken dam..

It just keeps going and going..

And then, the body drops..

Whose body?

Of course, the armored old man..

What, you thought I would be ripped apart for a second there?

I'm really not trustworthy am I?

Anyway, to explain in simple terms on what happened..

The old man had tenacity, I'll give him that..

He made it to my range before I could react..

And that's saying something..

But while he was using his claws adorned with pale blue flames straight at me..

I noticed it..

It was only a minor detail but..

That moment, I found its weakness..

I didn't even know if it could work that time..

But I was going to die if I didn't make that gamble..

What I found strange was his movements..

There was no preliminary movements..

There wasn't even technique behind his strike..

He purely attacked me with just raw power and speed..

Not that there's anything wrong with that of course..

But in all the years I watched the old man..

I never saw him forsake his technique for pure power..

Because what he always told me was..

{"Power alone cannot make you strong"}

Of course I never did understand what he meant..

Until now..

Because I noticed his blaring weakness..

I knew he had forsaken all defensive methods..

All for making his attack much more stronger..

Thus, I drew a conclusion..

When he invoked what he called [Full Armament]..

He couldn't control himself..

The armored knight was just a pure being condensed with wrathful flames..

No emotions..

No techniques..

An empty shell..

Which is why I used one of the techniques of the [Purgatory Style] against it..

One where I redirected his focus on one spot and sidestepped at the same moment..

This technique was very effective against those who believed in their power the most..
