Prince of Tennis Fraudster

"No way?"

Kirihara frowned. Although his eyesight wasn't great, he could still tell that Byodoin's aura was quite different from before. If he wasn't mistaken, the other party had probably already awakened an other-dimensional level of power.

But if that's the case, then what Tokugawa said doesn't hold true.

"How could a contestant from another dimension be forced into a frantic state by a contestant who hasn't activated their other dimension?"

Logically, this doesn't make sense.

"It's very simple."

At this moment, Niou, who was watching the changes on the field, spoke up: "Because that person activated the other dimension from the very beginning."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, not only Kirihara, but also Oni, Tanejima, Watanabe, and the others changed their expressions. They hadn't detected a single trace of otherworldly aura from the man named Diavolo.

Taneshima, in particular, is extremely sensitive to extradimensional auras. Even with Antoinette last time, he could sense a subtle change when Antoinette activated her Magician's Dimension.

Even after Niou explained Diablo's changes, he still couldn't find anything amiss.

He's right.

At this moment, Irie raised his head, took a deep look at the two people on the court, and said, "That person did indeed activate the Other Dimension from the very beginning."

Niou laughed and said, "This explains why the opponent was able to easily counter Byodoin's ultimate move."

World-class techniques, especially attacks unleashed by a well-rounded fighter like Byodoin, require immense skill to execute with the same effortless ease as Diavolo's.

Upon hearing this, Watanabe glanced at the situation on the court and frowned, asking, "Then what is his other dimension?"

Irie shook his head. He just sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint the exact cause of the change.

Niou smirked, glancing at Diavolo who was constantly dealing with Byodoin's other-dimensional attacks, and said, "Shadow!"

"Ok?"

On the court, Diablo, who had just raised his racket, paused slightly. Then, he looked over warily, his gaze finally settling on Niou.

"Ralph is right, you're a terrible guy!"

Even Byodoin, who was closest to him, didn't notice and instead fell into his trap, tormented by the fear that arose within him. But the blue-haired man, standing outside the arena and more than ten meters away, could still sense it.

"However, it's too late to realize it now."

Diablo crouched low, quickly moving towards the incoming tennis ball. He, who had always played a defensive counter-attacking style, had actually taken the initiative to attack?

Conversely, when Byodoin saw this action, his pupils contracted involuntarily, and his body instinctively felt a trace of fear.

"As expected of the King of Fear!"

Offstage, Ryong-ah smiled faintly as he tossed an orange into his hand.

TD Diablo!

He was originally the No. 3 player on the American national team and the undisputed third captain. However, he was disqualified after losing to Ryuga.

After the defeat, Diablo fell into despair and locked himself in the closed training room. He stayed there except for his daily mealtimes.

A month later, when he reappeared in front of everyone, his entire demeanor had completely changed.

Gloomy and oppressive!

Those teammates whose strength was inferior to his would involuntarily feel fear when standing in front of him for a while. Over time, he earned the title of 'King of Fear'.

However, Diablo did not challenge Ronja, but was instead sidelined until today under Reinhardt's arrangement.

Therefore, Ryuga didn't actually know the other party's true extradimensional abilities.

"It's over, Japan's general!"

Catching up with the tennis ball, a cruel glint flashed in Diablo's eyes. Without hesitation, he swung his racket and smashed the ball down.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the tennis ball exploded beside Byodoin. And, contrary to his usual behavior, he surprisingly flinched.

"Game! America, 0-1, changes of ends!"

"Yips!"

Seeing Byodoin's reaction, Niou said in a deep voice, "This Diavolo's other dimension is hidden in the shadows. And he seems to have the ability to influence his opponent's emotions unintentionally."

In short, it's a power more advanced than Yukimura's ability to annihilate the five senses. It can influence the mind of beings at an otherworldly level, causing them to instinctively feel fear.

Similarly, this is also a type of yips.

boom!

"Game! America, 0-2!"

boom!

"Game! America, 0-3!"

boom!

"Game! America, 0-4!"

boom!

"Game! America, 0-5!"

In the blink of an eye, Diablo had won five games. Conversely, Byodoin on the other side, affected by his emotions, moved erratically and avoided eye contact. Gradually, he began to resist tennis.

"it's over!"

Bryant breathed a sigh of relief; at this point in the game, the Japanese player had no chance of turning the tide.

If they win this game, the championship will belong to America.

Because their leader will be playing in the next match!

Snapped!

Snapped!

Diablo gently tapped the tennis ball with a slow but powerful rhythm. He deliberately controlled the pace to put more pressure on Byodoin.

Sure enough, the opponent's defensive move was reversed, and they managed to recover some points.

"Foolish fellow!"

At that moment, a cold snort rang out from outside the stadium.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this sound, Byodoin raised an eyebrow. Just as he turned his head, with a whoosh, the person opposite him also raised a racket, aiming it directly at him.

His gaze flickered involuntarily: "Tokugawa..."

The one raising the racket was Tokugawa.

He moved his lips, but under Byodoin's surprised gaze, he slowly put his racket back. "You're no longer worth my defeat..."

"Well!"

In an instant, Byodoin's heart, which had been suppressed by powerful spiritual energy, trembled violently.

Chapter 186 The Wrath of the Overlord

"Ok?"

Across from him, Diablo, sensing the fluctuation in his opponent's heart, raised an eyebrow. "Impossible, that's the ultimate move Ralph taught me; he can't possibly have any hope of breaking free..."

He squinted at Byodoin, whose expression was changing rapidly, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

"No, we must finish the game as soon as possible."

He had a feeling that if he didn't end the match now, the variables that followed would be beyond his control.

call!

He tossed the tennis ball up, swung his arm slightly, and then swung his racket, quickly tapping it onto the tennis ball.

boom!

The tennis ball exploded like a cannonball at the foot of Byodoin Temple.

"15-0!"

"Hey, look at Byodoin-senpai..."

Seeing the motionless Byodoin Temple, Kirihara felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.

Once upon a time, he was the undisputed leader of the entire U-17 team. He wouldn't even take the orders of the three coaches seriously.

However, in the game now, he was beaten so badly by his opponent that he lost his fighting spirit.

"coward……"

"what?"

Kirihara was taken aback; he seemed to have just heard a response coming from the direction of Byodoin.

"Ha ha!!"

At this moment, Byodoin laughed, his body trembling uncontrollably, his face gradually becoming ferocious.

"That's right!"

Suddenly, he roared, "I am a coward!"

In the match just now, he was actually beaten so badly he couldn't even lift his head. And the opponent was someone weaker than him. His instinctive reaction was to retreat.

One step back means being controlled at every step.

The shackles in his heart were not imposed by others, but by himself.

"A brilliant plan!"

His eyes widened as he stared intently at Diablo opposite him. Diablo had first used his otherworldly strength to force him to continuously use world-class techniques, then countered them one by one in front of him, creating the illusion that he was extremely powerful.

As a result, after realizing that something was wrong, Byodoin did not unleash his full power, but instinctively and subconsciously chose to hide his strength.

Taking advantage of this time, Diablo launched a frenzied attack and used some kind of ability to completely seal and suppress his mind.

"Ah!"
