King of Swords 2-16
” EMPTY PALMS
An internal, cold-atum style said to be as ancient as the gods themselves. It is said the god Ovis taught it to the first angels, who taught it to the first human, Metia. The style involves miraculous alignment of the body’s meridians to multiply the muscular power and striking force of bare handed strikes tenfold. Since the style relies heavily on the cultivation of internal force, its external strikes may seem unassuming to the untrained eye until they hit their target with the force of an ox cart.
It is said masters of this style can so precisely align the channels of power within their body that they can project the force of their blows at range, sometimes up to thirty or forty paces away. One old master of this style, who dwells in Fifteen Rivers, makes a great show to visitors of striking a heavy cast iron bell some 5 or 6 shins high with great blows from his fists, though he stands apart from the bell quite some distance.
A practitioner of this style must take tremendous pains to use it effectively. The style was originally developed for battling and destroying various titanic void monsters and unbound devils, and is rather difficult for humans to learn. A student must train rigorously, keep a strict diet, and maintain fine bodily control in order to effectively utilize its techniques. Therefore, it has always been an unpopular school, seen as somewhat old fashioned. None, however, deny the power of its techniques, which include YISUN’s Open Palm, widely regarded as an unbeatable move.”

Squished him like a bug
Wow, this dude probably has family and not doing this kind of life because he wants to, just trying to protect the bar he likes to hang in.
And then BAM! Alison just straight up murders him with one punch. What a poor guy.
Now we see: Alison is a true criminal.
Those who walk the path of King need not shackle themselves with any laws except their own.
Yeah, that’s pretty much what Anon said. Alison is no longer seeking justice, but presuming to dispense it: “I’ll be judge, and I’ll be jury; I’ll try the whole case and condemn you to death.”
The most of the guilds are basically crime syndicates, so the lie down with dogs get up with fleas principle applies.
And thus the Blind Prophet of Endings spake to The Gilded Cage’s master:
“A rain of gore announces your doom,
Flee while you can,
Your chance is fleeting at best.”
The Gilded Cage’s Master did not heed, for he was slain by his second, who also did not heed, for he had been plotting against the Master.
Did he die?
> Did he die.
Splat! seems to indicate that she/he/whatever experienced considerable corporeal distress. My guess is that “die” is a fair description.
When you hit 80, and roll back into the newbie zones
Now all we need is a martial art that uses the torso. Also what happens if you learn all the styles listed in the manual of hands and feet?
No one stands anywhere near you when you’re dancing.
You get beat by some guy with absolutely no skill
Unless your Pankrash Circle Fighting is good. Then you’ll be fine.
After one learns all the styles? Why, then one writes a manual of course!
Notice that her crown is but a tiny spark during this sequence of events. She is not using anything resembling her full power here.
Squished like a bug
Plus Ultra?
Tell me, bugman, have you heard these words?
Power spiked so hard the bartender flew into the ceiling
Technique looks very similar to one I’ve heard called the “Punch of the Falcon”. Though it bears mentioning that falcons very rarely have fists with which to make such strikes, and so are not typically pugilists of any sort.
From how the peregrine falcon hunts: “Prey is typically struck and captured in mid-air; the peregrine falcon strikes its prey with a clenched foot, stunning or killing it with the impact…”
It saddens me that one who titles themself as “Informed” would speak such misinformation, though I should expect no better from a perjurist. Though famee for their speed and accuracy of sight, falcons often hunt lesser avians by decending at great speed and striking their prey with a clenched talon. It is the punch that mimocs the strike of a falcon, though in truth it is a poor imitation.
And then it turns out that that that wasn’t the particular bug man she was looking for, and she’s forced to repeat the technique upon the unfortunate masses.
Crushes the Deceitful, indeed.
That’s a fist, Allison.
Did she have to kill him like that…
… okay Alison, you just obliterated a bartender. Probably an evil bartender, but still…
Yep, he dead.
im so proud of her i could scream
i cant believe my daughter’s finally goku
this page is very fun
I have to say, unless there’s some deeper context, this seems like bringing a nuke to a fistfight
Best way. “Fair fights” are for sporting events and suckers.
It’s so easy looking cool putting shades on, but it’s ridiculously difficult to look cool taking them off. Very, very thorough training by an angel supposedly with an icicle up its butt…
Fly, little bug.
Shoryuken!
SHOOOOOOORYUUUUUUUUKEEEEEEEN!
It is said that what goes up must come down.
Whoever said that obviously never came into contact with a key of kings.
