Chapter 590
The Imminent Transaction
Satou Shinichi felt that he had likely been tricked.
The Blond Strongman ran swiftly across the wilderness, his steps not matching his bulky physique. Behind him, a sky full of elemental attacks rained down towards his location.
He slammed his hands forcefully onto the floor, flipping over the soil of the entire ground with the special techniques of the young boy, completely blocking all the dense Energy Attacks.
Looking back at the familiar figure still floating in mid-air, Satou Shinichi estimated the distance between them. Finally, he sighed, his dejected expression deepening. He lowered his head and continued to run forward.
Recalling his experience from a few minutes ago, Satou Shinichi’s bitter face became even more so. He couldn’t help but punch his right hand, but his eyes continued to rapidly scan the surrounding environment, trying to change the current battle situation.
After breaking through the trap set by Kage, Satou Shinichi had lost his direction, like a headless fly. Fortunately, the young boy remembered the Small Stone given to him by the barbaric president, which had tracking functions. Relying on this Small Stone, Satou Shinichi successfully found the approximate location of Kage.
Especially after hearing the sounds of battle, Satou Shinichi accelerated. He had to stop Kage before the sealed target could be rescued.
But when he finally rushed to the scene of the battle, the scene before him completely stunned him.
Kage, whom the young boy was thinking about, had indeed appeared here. However, his disheveled appearance suggested he was being chased.
And when Satou Shinichi looked up to see which senior from the Association had arrived so promptly, the incredibly familiar figure in the sky completely stunned him in place.
Tengen Ou, or more familiarly, the person on the cover of the second volume of the Heroes’ History book, had actually appeared before his eyes alive.
Considering that Satou Shinichi was taken by Hamano Tsukasa every year to attend the memorial ceremony for this grandfather’s senior, a Hero. Yet, this immortal Hero, the strongest Hero of the Heroes Association, had appeared before his eyes.
And he seemed to be helping himself fight the Organization’s enemy?
Was I trapped? Was this a hallucination trap set by Kage?
Confused by the unexpected scene before him, Satou Shinichi couldn’t help but want to punch himself to see if he was still in a hallucination. The sudden sound from Kage in the distance broke the young boy’s thoughts.
“Hey, White Bone, that guy is a professional hero from the Heroes Association, Takeru Kamikami. I believe you’ll be very interested in his other identity.”
“He is the last and most cherished disciple accepted by Hamano Tsukasa!”
After these two sentences that seemed like pure repetition, the naked man in the sky, who looked exactly like the elemental user Tengen Ou, flew straight towards Satou Shinichi, his face filled with uncontrollable malice, asking him like a command.
“Hey, kid, are you Hamano Tsukasa’s disciple?”
“Uh, yes, senior.”
“I…”
This was Satou Shinichi’s subconscious reply. After all, the apparent identity of his body was his old man’s final disciple. From any perspective, there was no problem.
“Then you can die!”
And after merely confirming this information, a violent onslaught mixed with boundless killing intent followed.
When Satou Shinichi belatedly realized what was happening, he discovered that he had likely been tricked by Kage. The person before him was not the elemental user Tengen Ou, but someone who held a grudge against Hamano Tsukasa’s disciple, a deadly grudge!
On the giant whale in the distance, Kazumi, who had finally relaxed, watched with interest the blond figure being chased by White Bone, her smile brighter than ever.
“You have to say, at this moment, the girl is truly grateful to this guy Takeru Kamikami for arriving and successfully relieving her predicament.”
Kazumi had actually been contemplating a problem: White Bone clearly possessed the ability to break free from restraints, yet he remained dormant like a statue, peacefully confined for decades, not even bothering to move.
This was clearly unreasonable. He couldn’t possibly have been waiting for her arrival just to trick her like this.
After Kazumi’s detailed deduction, the girl indeed arrived at a reasonable, yet somewhat amusing, absurd reason.
Earlier, when White Bone broke the seal and transformed into Tengen Ou, he had said, “This is power specifically left for Hamano Tsukasa.” At first, Hamano Tsukasa had complained a bit about Kazumi’s disheveled state, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed like White Bone was speaking the truth.
On the other hand, the Heroes Association must have had thorough preparations to capture and seal White Bone, and they wouldn’t have left such a powerful ability for him to use.
What would be the difference from not sealing him at all?
Including the description of White Bone in the intel Kazumi had seen earlier, the manipulation of the corpses of deceased powerful practitioners and the use of their abilities during their lifetime was not mentioned at all.
The Association would definitely not want to destroy these things, which was also why Kazumi believed she could defeat the opponent with her own abilities.
Therefore, Kazumi boldly inferred that White Bone probably hadn’t even had the chance to use this so-called power prepared for Hamano Tsukasa before being defeated by Hamano Tsukasa and sealed away.
Powerful individuals have dignity, let alone a powerful individual like White Bone who claimed to defeat Hamano Tsukasa.
He confidently prepared his ultimate move, wanting to exchange a few blows with the opponent. But in the end, before he could even use his abilities, he was kicked away like a stray dog by the roadside. Kazumi could imagine how intense the humiliation and hatred must have been.
And all of this unfolded as Kazumi predicted. Merely by revealing Takeru Kamikami’s identity as Hamano Tsukasa’s disciple, White Bone, who had been chasing her like a dog, turned his target and unhesitatingly attacked Takeru Kamikami.
Kazumi narrowed her eyes, watching the swift figure under the bombardment of energy attacks. A smile appeared on her face.
“What I want is not just this extent…”
On the other side, Satou Shinichi’s figure constantly moved under the energy attacks. The current terrain made it difficult for him. The flat plain lacked means for long-range attacks.
He couldn’t hit the enemy floating in the sky at all.
Suddenly, an energy fluctuation emanated from his shoulder. Thinking it was an enemy’s fist, he was about to swing out to block the attack.
But the familiar blue-green gate that appeared and the hoarse howl from within interrupted his actions.
“Takeru Kamikami, do you want to make a transaction?”
