Chapter 29
Summary
Bruford barely escaping Jonathan's ripple with only a scratch back flips back on land and tells Jonathan that he wants to fight him on equal grounds without handicaps because he thinks Jonathan has the skill of a hero demonstrating his chivalry and pride. Then with a mighty battle cry, Bruford leaps towards Jonathan and uses his “Dance Macabre Hair” technique again! Jonathan tries to hold back the attack by countering with an Overdrive barrage but this fails and Jonathan becomes ensnared in Bruford's hair as it lifts his entire body off the ground and proceeds to drain Jonathan's blood by the use of Turgor movement.
Unable to transmit the Ripple through his hands or feet Jonathan cannot prevent his body from getting its blood drained by Bruford's hair! Even worse as Bruford's hair tightens around Jonathan's body Jonathan is losing the ability to draw breath. Speedwagon tries to go save Jonathan but suddenly Tarkus appears in front of him! Zeppeli then confronts Tarkus not knowing what he can do.
Jonathan seemingly at the mercy of Bruford's hair seems to be facing his end as Bruford draws his sword. Then just as Bruford swings his sword, his hair loosens up just enough for Jonathan to kick the sword and transfer an overdrive through it causing Bruford's arm to fall out of its socket. Then while Bruford is still stunned, Jonathan uses the Sunlight Yellow overdrive to strike back at Bruford!
