Chapter 357 Little Peerless

Poisonous liquid from Harus magic dripped from the blade of her Doggan Staff. Lily, whos grabbing the Doggan Staff, received the poison directly, but she doesnt seem to be in pain.

Haruna, arent you a bit careless? You know the difference in our power, right? Thats so unlike you.

Yes, I thought it was careless, and I know the difference in our power. But I think its very much like me, you know? After all, sometimes you cant win a match if you dont be reckless!

It sounds plausible, but how is it in reality? You see, I dont like unrealistic thinking.

Then, why dont you try it? I think its kind of you to hold back your power to match my aiki, but its sad and annoying that you dont take the fight seriously. Also, if you dont get out of here soon, Chinatsu-chan and the others will come back, you know?

Hmm. Ill praise you for the courage to say something like that when facing me. Well then, you can regret it to your hearts content!

Lily was probably holding back, but she started to push Haru seriously. Even though the techniques are the same, the difference in status will break the equilibrium. As if to show the difference in power in an easy-to-understand manner, Lilys pressure increased. However

?

The equilibrium, which moved slightly at the moment Lily got serious, was returned to the original position. It was as if Haru was also strengthening her power as Lily increased hers. Perhaps this mysterious phenomenon was unexpected, Lilys expression began to change for the first time here.

Ooh, aint she amazing!? Shes competing with Lily-han head-on! Thats impossible even for me and Zex-han! Is that some kind of ability!?

Haruna-san is amazing!

Hmm, something strange is happening. However, theres no way Deris-dono will tell us. *Glance*

I dont care how many times you look at me, Im not going to tell you, okay?

The only people here who know whats going on are me and Nell. It seems that these Great Eight Demons didnt expect this development, so theyre somewhat excited. Of course, Im not going to tell them about Harus Unique Skill. Instead, I will check it again in my mind.

The distance between Haru and her opponent is the key to activating the Little Peerless that she acquired when she reached level 8. As the name implies, the range of effect is a little from Haru or from her weapon. To put it simply, its about 3 centimeters. If Haru can recognize that the target has entered this range, her power will be activated.

You!

The situation has completely changed, and the superiority is clearly leaning toward Haru. No matter how much Lily squeezes her power or uses the same technique as Haru, she cant surpass Haru. After all, Harus Unique Skill is an ability that makes her status one step higher than the targets status.

It was pretty shocking when Haru won against Nell in an arm-wrestling match as an experiment. I was so surprised that I couldnt even stand.

H-Hey, forget about that already. Still, its true that it was somewhat shocking.

Yeah, by activating this ability, Haru won against Nell in an arm-wrestling match. Its a rough estimation, but I estimate that Nells power is comparable to Marias. And then, that Maria is a terrifying fashion girl who boasts the top physical power among the Great Eight Demons. In other words, as long as Haru can activate this power, she can win in a simple clash of power no matter what kind of Great Eight Demons shes up against.

However, not everything can be conveniently targeted by the ability. As mentioned before, Haru must recognize that the target is within the range. Its impossible for her to respond to an attack that comes at her faster than what she can recognize, or an attack from outside her awareness. She also cant apply this ability to her iron ball because its released from her hand when thrown. If Lilyvia hadnt caught Harus attack and put all her power into attacking from the beginning, Harus ability wouldnt have been activated.

But once the opponent is caught by Harus aiki and got into that kind of contact state the little distance becomes meaningless and Harus peerless time will begin.

Cough!

Lily was calm when she received the poison before, but now blood is dripping from her mouth. Not only Harus strength, but magic power and other stats are increased as well. The water that was harmless has now turned into a deadly poison that could even kill the Great Demon King.

Now that I see it again, it sure is a powerful ability.

If it werent Haru, it would be difficult to meet the conditions. Well, at this rate, its clear that Lily will lose. Now, what will she do?

She has to escape from that state first even if she would receive an attack from Haruna.

Will her pride allow it when shes facing a lower rank opponent? I mean, shes the Great Demon King right now.

Hmm, then, is she going to self-destruct? If it were me, I would do that.

A whole country will disappear, so please dont do that.

As I was talking with Nell, I saw a figure approaching Lily from the edge of my field of vision. It was Touko, who was blown away by Lilys aiki before. Looking closely, I can see that shes concentrating her ki on one foot while running.

Uryaaaaa!

The moment she stomped on the ground with one foot, Touko jumped forward. Looking at the floor that cracked due to the impact, it seems that she kicked the floor with considerable power. And with that power added to her speed, she goes straight toward Lily.

Kuh, Touko!

Lily-senpai, looking away is not good, you know!

Seeing that Touko is clearly launching an attack, Lily tries hard to escape. However, Haru is not soft enough to let her do it. The merciless girl, whos greedy for victory, continues to use her aiki on Lily. No matter how hard Lily struggles, its impossible to get out of this in a straightforward manner.

In the end, the flying kick, with Toukos ki accumulated on it, hit the flank of Lily, who couldnt move her body. Lilys endurance was ignored due to Berserk, and Toukos pure destructive power penetrated her body as it is. An unpleasant sound was heard in the contact area, and the damage was serious even though Lily was able to endure the pain.

Hell yeah! Nice, Haruna!

No, its not over yet! There

Yeah, we have her there!

Receiving the flying kick directly, Lily was blown away. She flapped her wings and tried to stop, but there was already a figure waiting for her.

Hardship Clearing Sword.

It was Chinatsu. It seems that she has completely repaired her Iwatshi when Haru was stalling for time with her aiki. Theres not a single scratch on the drawn blade. However, theres one difference. The katana, which normally has a dazzling divine light on it, is now covered with something black as if it has been covered with ink.

Finally!

Nell is getting awfully excited. Well, yeah, it cant be helped. Following Haru, its time for Chinatsu to show her Unique Skill. Now, spit out the thing you have accumulated to your hearts content!

My stress, I will give it to you!
