Seiya - Mimic Combo

“I am the King of Gaeabrande! No one can defeat me!” screams Mash as if to fire himself up, and a brilliantly shining aura wraps around his fist, which is pulled far back. My heart jumps in fright at the sight of the dense aura. It’s as if every last bit of his life energy is condensed inside it.

“Cuélebre Roar!”

Mash steps forward while simultaneously throwing a palm strike. The movement is so powerful that the ground cracks under him, creating a cloud of dust and making them invisible.

“S-Seiya?!”

...They’re having a bare-knuckle brawl, which isn’t something Seiya normally does. I have no idea how the battle is going to end, so all I can do is swallow my breath and wait for the cloud of dust to settle.

“I-impossible...!”

When the dust settles, Mash is clearly crestfallen. Seiya blocked the palm strike with his right arm, which is covered with the same dragon crest as that of his opponent. Mash’s expression is stricken with fear or something like it.

“He used Mimic to copy Mash’s aura and cancel out the blow!”

“L-it’s not over yet!”

I didn’t realize it until Cerceus said that, but the crest of the dragon is coiled around Seiya’s left arm with a brilliant light as well!

“Cuélebre Roar!”

Seiya throws a palm strike into Mash’s solar plexus, folding his body and causing him to drop to his knees like a marionette whose strings have been cut.

“He canceled out the attack with his right arm, then struck with his left! He used Mimic to combo!”
