Chapter 339: The Same Type
The explosion spread to the extreme distance, and flames and smoke rose high into the sky in a mushroom cloud.
Few could withstand the impact, and all the Seekers except for Albert, Mia, Rui, and Akito were blown away.
Rui, struggling to endure, glared into the distance.
“This is… Yuma’s attack! It’s more powerful than the 【Red King】’s Fireball.”
Akito narrowed his eyes and grinned.
“Even the 【Yellow King】 must have taken a hit from that! Yuma wins!!”
While Rui and Akito held hope, Albert and Mia tried to calmly assess the situation.
“Certainly, if it hit directly, it wouldn’t be unscathed. The monsters in the ‘Yellow Dungeon’ also have low Regeneration. But…”
Akito frowned at Albert’s wording.
“What?! Are you saying there’s a monster that wouldn’t die from that?”
“Well, I wonder.”
Albert looked up at the rising mushroom cloud.
“The impregnable ‘Magical Barrier’ deployed by the 【Yellow King】. I wonder if it was able to break through…”
◇◇◇
Yuma, panting, looked ahead.
Dust and smoke danced high in the sky. He was definitely in there. He wasn’t dead.
Yuma took a stance with both fists, not letting his guard down.
As the smoke wavered, the Golden Giant burst out as if from an explosion.
Completely unharmed, it charged in with extraordinary speed.
‘Excellent! I’ll knock you down next time!!’
A Metal Green Longsword extended from Yuma’s right hand. And from the dragon’s mouth on his left hand, a Metal Red Longsword was created.
A sword clad in wind and a sword of scorching heat.
He crossed the two swords in front of his chest and braced to meet the Golden Giant.
As Yuma swung the sword in his right hand horizontally, the 【Yellow King】 slipped through the attack and slammed a Lightning fist into Yuma’s stomach.
Grimacing, Yuma staggered back, raised the sword in his left hand high, and swung it down in one motion.
The “Scorching Sword” that melts everything. If it hit, it wouldn’t be unscathed. But the 【Yellow King】 dodged the slash with light steps and released a backhand as he spun his body.
Yuma guarded with his right hand, but the power was too strong, and he lost his balance.
The Golden Giant then launched a full-force assault. From left and right rushes to a middle kick, Yuma folded his body into a “く” shape, and the Giant landed a left short uppercut.
Yuma’s chin snapped up, and he leaned back greatly.
Yuma somehow managed to stop himself, but he took the 【Yellow King】’s follow-up attack head-on. The Giant’s left straight pierced his stomach.
He almost buckled at the knees, but he put strength into his legs and looked forward.
He tried to defend by hardening his guard, but the 【Yellow King】’s relentless offensive gradually cornered Yuma.
–Damn it, what should I do…?
Yuma’s desperate fight was not visible to Albert and the others far away. But from the repeated roars, they could easily imagine that he was fighting.
The four held their breath and stared at the end of the dust cloud.
“Hey, what’s going on? They’re still fighting, right? Hasn’t the 【Yellow King】 taken any damage?!”
Akito glared in the direction from which the collision sounds were coming.
The battlefield was still filled with a large amount of drifting smoke. There was no doubt that giants were clashing there.
“Yuma will be alright, right? He wouldn’t lose, would he?”
Rui’s expression also became strained in response to Akito, who couldn’t hide his impatience.
“The 【Yellow King】 is the same type of 【King】 as Yuma. Both grow and become stronger and stronger. I really don’t know about this fight.”
“What are you saying so pessimistically! Yuma can use the same powerful ‘Wind Barrier’ as the 【Green Lord】! The 【Yellow King】’s Lightning shouldn’t get through.”
Rui wanted to agree with Akito’s opinion, but he couldn’t shake his concerns.
“Akito, have you forgotten? How Yuma broke through the 【Green Lord】’s ‘Magical Barrier’.”
“What?”
Akito frowned and glared at Rui.
“The double barrier of wind and vacuum shut out all magical attacks. But the only attack it couldn’t defend against…”
Sweat trickled down Akito’s temple.
“Could it be…”
“Yes, a physical attack that breaks through at one point. If it could pierce the ‘Wind Barrier’ and directly touch Yuma’s body…”
Rui stared at the dust that had risen high into the air.
“It might channel extraordinary Lightning directly into his body.”
In the direction Rui was anxiously staring, the battle between Yuma and the 【Yellow King】 continued within the billowing dust.
“Daah!”
The 【Yellow King】 easily dodged Yuma’s right straight and matched it with a counter left straight.
Yuma’s face snapped back from the blow, and he retreated involuntarily.
–Damn it. I can’t stand a chance in a simple slugfest. What should I do…?
Yuma regained his posture and somehow took a stance, but he couldn’t find a way to break through. Movement speed using the recoil of Lightning, outstanding fighting sense.
In every aspect, he surpassed Yuma.
At this rate, he would lose. As he felt that sense of crisis, his eyes went to the 【Yellow King】’s right arm in front of him.
A thin, rod-like object extended from the back of his right hand.
For a moment, he didn’t know what it was, but upon closer inspection, it was shaped like an Ice Pick.
The Golden Giant pulled back his right arm, kicked off the ground, and charged in. Yuma had a bad feeling and jumped back.
But the opponent was faster. In the blink of an eye, the distance was closed, and they were within striking range.
As Yuma threw a right straight, the 【Yellow King】 also unleashed a right straight.
At the moment their fists hit each other, what hit first was the tip of the Ice Pick. It extended from the 【Yellow King】’s right fist.
The Ice Pick dug into the “Wind Barrier,” trying to break through.
Yuma realized the true nature of his bad feeling. The “Wind Barrier” that now covered his entire body had a double structure of wind and vacuum. It could defend against all magic.
But the only thing that could break through it was a physical attack. He had defeated the 【Green Lord】 using this method.
The tip of the Ice Pick tapped Yuma’s body. This metal body nullified all physical attacks.
Normally, there would be no problem even if the “Wind Barrier” was broken. Normally–
Sparks crackled from the tip of the Ice Pick, and the radiated plasma flowed into the Iron Giant.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Yuma’s scream echoed around him.
