My King System
Chapter 106 - The Weakest Link

As Yuki unveiled his secret to Otto, everyone else was preparing to engage Yuki in battle. Rina healed Tanya's wounds as she would be needed in the attack core of the group which included Tanya, Porcia, Jules and Erika. Simeon had already cast his speed boost ability and it was finally Lou's turn to debuff Yuki. 

"Activate ability: Stat decrease"

Once more the red circle appeared above Yuki's head as it spread its glow on his body to weaken him. While Yuki pretended like nothing was happening to him, he could feel himself getting weaker. Even with a large increase to his stats once he had reached level 10, it didn't make him immune to a debuff type ability. 

"Well, I think they're ready for me now," said Yuki as he began to slowly walk towards the attack core. 

Even with her blade broken, Tanya stood tall as she prepared to attack Yuki with full force. Still holding a grudge against Yuki for the way he had humiliated her, Tanya charged at him first. Yuki stood there as he awaited for her to attempt her attack. Tanya charged straight ahead with her blade as she aimed to gouge out Yuki's eye. However Yuki wouldn't allow that to happen. Right as Tanya attempted to slash Yuki's eye, Yuki quickly ducked down as he spun his feet-effectively making Tanya fall face first into the grass once more. 

Tanya once again tried to get up from the ground and attempt to attack Yuki. However before she could get back on her feet, Yuki placed his foot on her back and pushed her down into the ground once again. Seeing this, Porcia and Jules charged into the scene. Both of them attacked Yuki simultaneously as they tried to hold him back until Tanya could recover. Although Yuki could've killed both Porcia and Jules, he decided to play along and move away from Tanya. Yuki still had "Fallen angel of hell" in his palm, as such, that was the blade he used to deflect any attacks he couldn't dodge. Every once in a while, Yuki would land a clean hit on either of the two swordsmen to show them how much more superior he was but also to try to enrage them. 

Once Tanya was ready to continue fighting, she seamlessly joined in with Porcia and Jules as all three of them attacked Yuki simultaneously. Each blade within Yuki's vicinity was easily deflected and the user of said blade would receive a punch that caused twice as much damage as their blade would've caused to Yuki. After all, Yuki was only trying to toy with them, it wasn't in his interest to kill them yet. He even had a secret plan which he would use later on to torment them and crush their will. 

Exhausted from the endless barrage of attacks which had done nothing to their enemy, the three blade wielders broke out in a triangle formation as they tried to do a perfectly in sync attack. Tanya leaped off the ground as she aimed to plunge her blade into Yuki's skull while Porcia and Jules attacked from both of Yuki's sides. 

"They're leaving me with no form of escape or retaliation. I guess I'll have to make one myself," said Yuki as he sighed. 

Yuki ducked down to the ground to give himself more time before Tanya could reach him. Once he had lowered himself, Yuki reached out to Porcia's foot with his right palm and dragged him down before swinging him to make Jules lose his balance and fall down as well. Lastly, a moment before Tanya could reach him, Yuki reached out with his left palm and grabbed her by her wrist and slammed her down to the ground a little harder than he had intended to. 

Within a matter of seconds Yuki had disarmed his opponents. Even with a perfectly in sync attack, they were weak against him. It was as if a group of little kids were fighting an adult. No matter how many times they tried to attack him, all of it was in vain. 

Yuki got up on his feet once more and began to walk away from them as if he didn't care what they tried to do to him. 

"Is that all you've got? I was kinda expecting a little more impressive from the group that was supposed to be humanity's last hope. Well, not humanity, it's more of the 3 kingdoms' last hope," said Yuki. Yuki had only known that there were 3 kingdoms present due to the army's different attire. 

Yuki turned back around to face the group as they sat on the ground trying to recuperate. 

"Come on now, try one last time. I'll even go easy on you. If you kill me, you'll be able to go home as the heroes of thousands of people," said Yuki as he mocked them.

Hearing this, Tanya began to grow even more enraged. However her rage wasn't directed at Yuki. After all, why would anyone blame someone who is clearly superior to them? When human's fail to recognize their own or their superior's weakness, they always blame those who seem weaker than them.

"It's all your fault. Why isn't your ability working Lou! Are you working with the enemy? Are you trying to sabotage us?" Tanya yelled at the debuffer. 

It didn't matter to her if Lou said that he used his ability to debuff Yuki. As long as she wasn't able to kill her enemy in a single blow, it meant that it was someone else's fault. 

"Did you ever consider that it might be your fault? My ability has never failed to debuff someone. I've always been loyal to you so why can't you trust me now? Did you even think that you might be the weakest link of the group?" Lou argued back. 

"What did you just say to me?" Tanya said in an angry tone as she slowly began to walk towards Lou with death in her eyes. No one had ever spoken back to Tanya before, let alone her friend, nay, her slave. It was an act of treason that should be punished by death, she thought.
