I did remark earlier that I was surprised nobody was trying to fire a laser at him. However, they should have fired it already at this point, unless they can track and predict Solomon’s movements at that speed.
The mass rush goes a long way towards explaining why there’s no lasers though, there is no line of sight through the crowd.
Nobody’s senses could register the beginning of this attack before it is finished. To an outsider it will look as if all the contestants simultaneously turned to mush.
The Goblins have that supernatural sense of smell where they can literally smell light as if they were seeing it. So, it’s not impossible some servant species exists out there that can register it at that speed.
Thae humans be registerin 50-60 blinks a sec (perceivin frames as seprate tho – 12 or less per sec mostlike; more’d be clunksome anime til smoothlike at 20+).
Fastest none-human on yon Dirtball be Peregrin wi 130 blinks a sec, coza doin more’n twahundert milenhour divin.
Salami’d hafta put ‘is rings on agin afore point o seven sec to avoid the bird noticin summat.
There are creatures with senses and abilities beyond our own, and can seem almost supernatural, but the abilities of Goblins go beyond biology.
There’s servants/aliens with floating things for a head, so, obviously biological constraints weren’t necessarily considered a limiting factor for all servants when forge god Koss created them.
Anyways, if anything does have the ability to see him moving that fast or is able to move at those speeds (whether natural ability, key given, as would be likely during the Universial War, or some martial art), there’s a good bet that Solomon would still be able to handle it. He hasn’t gotten to where he is by not being able to fight something that matches his speed, it just wouldn’t be as easy.
1) If there are 100 fighters remaining in the Tourney,
and the Emperor Solomon Strikes each one with FIVE fingers,
then this is the Round of ____ ? Yes ! Correct : 500 BLOWS.
Here are the Math problem for the Advanced Grades.
2) If each of the 100 fighters facing the Emperor has 1.5 gallons of blood in their body, How large an area of the arena may be painted with their blood ?
3) The Emperor pivots and moves to strike a hapless fighter.
The Emperor’s fist is moving at three times the speed of sound.
( How high / far does the resulting Fountain of Blood travel ? )
4) The Emperor Solomon attacks 100 fighters while moving at three times the speed of sound ( which happens to be the same here on Rayuba as that mythical land called Earth. ) If the emperor annihilates each fighter with one blow in a hundredth of a second, and takes an additional three hundredths of a second to move to the next fighter, how long will it take the Emperor to obliterate all of his attackers ?

Ach, what a waste. How ’bout 5600m² – 6800m².
Is dependin on thickness of coverage tha’s wantin, blood solids (us own specialty), an transferrin effcacy. An wether tha’s assumin american or imperial.
About twa metres max (in us experience), oftimes only a few inches. Add half agin fer spread.
Us reckons on less’n a twentith’f a second. Salami doin 1km per sec ‘d be invalidatin any extra time fer blowin thae fighters!
50 guilders says Solomon returns to his initial spot just in time for his robes and bracelets to fall back on him.
Also this page finally clarifies how no one else has managed to learn Ki Rata from Solomons frequent displays. One would need to already have mastered it to even see the movements.
What of those capable of seeing his movements at that speed? Sure, the great majority of sapients won’t be able to, but considering the vast array of abilities and bizarrities, one can’t discount that such an ability does exist somewhere.
That said, they still wouldn’t have full mastery of it and there was a below page text way back saying that the adherents of it searched out and killed anybody who managed to stumble on it. Solomon likely does exactly that.
By Aesma’s screaming tits… I go to feed on some laughsome mortals whilst they be panick-wise an plauged and sickish for a week or a nonce, an THIS us’s do be coming back to?? Cannae help but be droolish a’ te thoughts o all’o’em entrails…
Ae, me! Slackish and loathful ae the sloppish thinkery, us’s. Mae foulen Ebon, gratitudinally full-wise, we! Lackwit, us, ae no do be sharin thus. But…thinks, us; fullsome yet o’en ye black shardies be, a nonce do a two or nil?
(Oops! I can be so forgetful. My fiendish Ebon [Haldis], thank you for due payment of the bet! I’d be remiss if I didn’t share this drink. I wonder; if your pockets are still feeling heavy to you, would you be interested in double or nothing?)
The kunai are traveling at 1000 feet per second. That’s a little less than half the speed of a bullet. Seems reasonable for a fighter who’s made it to this round.
The distance between Solomon and his target is 10 feet.
The kunai have moved a millimeter (.003 feet) from the second panel to the fifth.
If these assumptions hold true, I believe Solomon is moving a cool 3 million feet per second. It could very well be faster, I believe these are conservative estimations.
An astounding attack! Could it be that Solomon can freeze time for his opponents as long as he can hold his breath? I hope the spectators are not frozen as well because it would be a shame for them to miss the pulping of the remaining attackers.
Everybody seems to be assuming that by the time Solomon’s rings descend all the attackers will be gone and Solomon will be standing at the centre of a ring of gore. To me, it would be more impressive if he kills only one attacker (or perhaps one in ten?) and disrupts the rest so that they collide in the centre, covered in giblets, while Solomon sits to one side. Watching these fools realise how deeply they are mired in shit, and then seeing them slink away, would be satisfying.
I picture him moving while everything around him moves in motion so slow it’s almost not moving. His clothing ripples and moves like it’s weighted like it’s resisting the movements though unable to slow his stride. Would be so cool to see in a video… :O
He could just break their necks y’know. Or even their arms. If he splatters all the assailants, the others who sat still will likely drown in blood and guts.
In any case, it will be one hell of a job for the cleaners.
I once faced a tyrant who used a high-speed art for similar effect. However, he would always announce his use of the technique with a shout of “YOU WA SHOCK!” beforehand.
It seems Solomon David’s wisdom has overruled his pride in this specific matter.
Because he chooses to be affected by gravity? Most of the fighters going at him aren’t flight capable, so, he has to be near or on the ground to one-punch them anyway.
Damn, he’s fast. But is he faster than light? One of the contestants has a laser.

This is ridiculous. I can’t see how anyone could use this in real life.
Conveniently, those who fail to learn these lessons have no need of it either, for their lives are ended.
Pass/Fail has a certain clarity to recommend it as a grading system. Like diamond.

He…
He did a neck crack before doing anything else.
I’d say that’s just showing off, but given that I don’t think anyone traveled a millimeter…

I know it might not happen, but I kinda hope at least one of them goes, “Ehh, I was already getting my ass handed to me, I’ll just take the paycheck.”
I love how we can see the air being compressed in front of him as he moves around.
An astounding attack! Could it be that Solomon can freeze time for his opponents as long as he can hold his breath? I hope the spectators are not frozen as well because it would be a shame for them to miss the pulping of the remaining attackers.
I guessed what it means before even translating. For the ones who wish to copy:

U TRIED

Drown?what about the high speed droplet cuts?
…oh.
OH.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.
Took me a moment to notice.
That poor bastard in the last panel probably doesn’t even know he’s been killed.
Next page will be nothing but innards.
It’ll take Abbadon weeks to draw all of that. On the bright side, we should learn a lot about the anatomy of the various races of Throne.
Giblets! Giblets! Get yer luuuurverly giblets here!
Why is he still affected by gravity?
Because he chooses to be affected by gravity? Most of the fighters going at him aren’t flight capable, so, he has to be near or on the ground to one-punch them anyway.
