Yuuki had already seen through Ludora's personality. He had a firm, honest
disposition, one not befitting a ruler at all, and now he was sincerely aiming to
battle Yuuki. That's what made him so easy to read.
Honestly, winning here in the primary definition of the term is impossible. Even
if I pull something off against Ludora, Velgrynd's still here. If I can't escape, then
the best I can hope for is to cancel out Ludora's domination?
But Ludora had to be expecting that-and what's more, he had total
confidence that he could take control of Yuuki. And so the only option Yuuki
had left was...
"Bring it on, Ludora!"
...betting everything on the slightest of probabilities.
"Regalia Dominion!"
With a balletic move, Ludora sprang into action, instantly closing the distance
between himself and Yuuki. Once he was in range, he began activating his
"imperial domination," the very pinnacle of powers offered by his ultimate skill
Michael, Lord of Justice. Unlike the imitation he proffered to Kondo, this skill
had no limitations, and its powers were an order of magnitude greater. Even
among ultimate skills, there were still subclassifications in rank-and for
someone as recently awakened as Yuuki, there was no way to resist this one.
Ludora stood there, as dignified as could be. Yuuki collapsed on the spot. The
winner and loser seemed clear now, but the outcome remained unknown.
