Chapter 382 Complete Victory

A barrage of blows is hitting Zuhas body at an unbelievable speed. His consciousness is fading, but he endures it with his steel spirit, and hes focusing on pulling off the birdlime first.

(She is only half as tall as me, but shes hitting me with an unbelievable power! Each blow is powerful enough to gouge my steel muscles, and they are so heavy that they ignore my defense! Its as if Im being hit by my own serious punch, no, maybe more than that! Where the hell did such power come from in such a thin arm!?)

The identity of the destructive power is due to the correction of the status difference by Little Peerless. No matter how strong Zuhas steel body is, Harunas fist is far above it. Moreover, she cast her magic on her fists to apply gravity manipulation, mental attack by Heart Hash, and All Break to decrease the opponents status. Zuha was looking for a chance to counterattack, but in fact, he sank deeper with each attack from Haruna.

Nuuuhhh!

No matter how much he puts his strength into his thick arms, theres no sign that would be freed from Toukos birdlime bullets. On the contrary, he feels like hes losing to the adhesive power. Zuha, who was overwhelmingly confident in his body, begins to notice that something is wrong with his body. However, it was already too late. Even if he noticed, he couldnt come up with a plan to overcome this situation.

(Did this little girl do something!? Shes so young, but she has that kind of eyes! Damn it, it feels like my head is being disturbed and I cant think straight!)

The only thing left is his pride as a guardian. If he faints here, it would lead to the breakthrough of the sixth island. He has to prevent that at any cost.

Haruna, stop. More than that is dangerous.

The one who stopped the rush of quick fists was Chinatsu who came next to Haruna. Touko was behind her as well.

Yes, I also thought that it was about time to stop.

Haruna easily agreed with Chinatsus words, perhaps because she judged that attacking more than this was unnecessary. Then, she stood up from her mounting position. But at the same time, Haruna began to place her foot on one of Zuhas arms.

You are Zuha Baha, the last guardian who controls the sixth island, right? The match has already been decided, so we will continue to head to the seventh island. I dont think we need to ask your permission, but Im going to ask you just in case. Can you admit defeat gracefully?

If youre going to go, you have to properly beat me first. I can still do it!

Zuha managed to let out his voice somehow. At the same time, he began to take a deep breath. Its a preliminary action to shoot the breath. It seems that with Zuhas power, it is possible to use the breath even if he is in human form. Its a super-close-range breath attack that can melt even iron instantly.

You cant.

Guoh!

However, theres no one here who would overlook it. Haruna tramples on Zuhas arm, causing the bone to creak and giving off intense pain. The torture from Haruna, who knows well about the opponents painful spots, is very painful. Thus, the breath immediately dissipated into nothing.

Hey, if we dont get going soon, Chinatsus master will start to release her bloodlust again, you know? Someone like him has guts, so asking him that is pointless. Lets just ignore him and get going.

I want to do that too, but Haruna is the type who wants to clear the trial perfectly.

I want to break his heart and make him acknowledge it, both physically and mentally!

Haruna, thats a distorted way of thinking. It will definitely increase the workload of Deris-danna later.

Harunas goal is to assess the strength of the enemy and defeat them while keeping them alive at the very limit, and when fighting an equal, she wants to make them yield from the bottom of their heart. Zuha falls into the latter category, so she wants to hear the words of defeat from his own mouth.

Well, what Touko says is correct. Even I think so too. But Haruna is determined. So, I will take the quickest way.

The quickest way?

Yes. Im giving you a final warning, Zuha-san. Please accept defeat.

Chinatsu pulls out her Iwatshi from the scabbard and points it at Zuhas throat. Then, the tip of the sword pierced Zuha slightly.

Hmph. You might be trying to threaten me, but I definitely wont admit ahh, Im tired and my arm hurts. I guess its okay if I lose yeah, thats okay. Just go to the next seventh island, yeah. Im fine with a complete defeat.

Yes, I got your words. Now that settles it, right, Haruna?

Chinatsu activated her Hardship Clearing Sword and put the darkness on her katana. She transferred the stress from Nells bloodlust to her katana and sent it to Zuha. With his personality, Zuha is almost free from stress, but if such a thing is sent in this extreme state, theres no way to prevent it.

Y-Yes. He did acknowledge it, I guess?

Chinatsu, your ability is really nasty, huh. It was also effective against Lily-shish. To be honest, isnt that the ultimate weapon for the battle against the Great Eight Demons?

It isnt something that great, you know? It wont work against Deris-san since hes the same type as me, and if I mistakenly use it on Nell-shish, it will only increase her fighting power. I have to choose the opponent and the timing properly.

Anyway, it seems that Chinatsu is a little refreshed after handing over the stress. Deris, her first believer, would be smiling at this.

Haa, is that so? Well, as expected of Deris-danna.

Did you call me?

Whoa, Danna!?

Speak of the devil. Deris came with Nell before they knew it.

It seems that youve successfully completed the cleaning of the sixth island. You three, Hund-kun has transformed into a ship and is waiting over there.

Hmm. Well, in the end, they are just lower rank opponents, so its a reasonable result. By the way, did someone fall from the sky around here? From the presence I felt, I think it was an executive-class dragon.

Ah, do you mean this big guy?

Touko pointed at Zuha who has lost his spirit.

Yep, thats it! Wait, hes already in that state. Haruna, it seems that youve won completely as instructed!

No! The one who broke his heart was mostly Chinatsu-chan!

Eh?

Nell began to praise Haruna. But on the other hand, Chinatsu and Touko raised their voices of doubt at the same time.

Nell, did you tell Haru something strange again?

How rude. I just taught Haruna, who was full of motivation, how to win perfectly. Deris, even you have done it many times, right?

In my case, I choose my opponent. Besides, its troublesome, so I basically wont do that. Hm? You two, whats wrong?

If there was such an instruction, please tell us from the beginning. The soundless cry of the heart became fuel for Chinatsus Hardship Clearing Sword. As for Touko, she neutralized it by approaching Deris one step closer and calmed down.

I want to be a pig or a water flea.
