Chapter 607: The Decisive Kill
A golden-haired brawny man descended from the sky with immense power, landing with pinpoint accuracy on the energy core of the White Bone Giant’s chest. Sato Shin’ichi’s body was instantly swallowed by the surging Death Energy. Those eerie green energies rushed towards him like bloody sharks.
“Sizzle—”
The moment the Death Energy touched his skin, flesh and blood began to decay and dissolve. Sato Shin’ichi’s entire body swelled, and gray-white skin encased the young boy, forming an armor of flesh and blood that blocked all the extremely dense Death Energy around him.
At this moment, Kazumi made her move. The girl did not activate [Soul’s Fury] again within [Takeru Kamikami] because his body could no longer withstand the Death Energy erupting from within. Instead, under Kazumi’s exquisite control, Little Black’s body was flattened into a large pancake, stretched to its limit to envelop Takeru Kamikami’s entire body, as if he were wearing a bizarre leather suit.
Sato Shin’ichi ignored the changes on his body. He knew in his heart that this was his only chance. He had to seize the moment for a final, unrestrained blow by combining hardness and softness.
Sato Shin’ichi did not hesitate. He gathered all his power into his fists, which were like iron fists, rushing towards the energy core with the might to shatter everything.
The muscles on his body bulged again. Sato Shin’ichi’s muscles writhed violently like waves, and every muscle fiber erupted with astonishing power. Fine beads of sweat seeped from his skin and were instantly evaporated by the internal heat, forming white mist that enveloped his body.
This was Sato Shin’ichi’s ultimate ability. By rapidly contracting every muscle, he accelerated blood flow within his body, compressing all his strength to the extreme. However, the price was that the muscles, heated to their limit, would rapidly evaporate the body’s moisture. If he used it for too long, he would die of dehydration.
But the young boy couldn’t afford to worry about that now.
His left fist, wielding Death Energy like green ghostly fire, descended from the sky, like a meteor striking the earth, aiming directly at the energy core’s location. Every impact precisely landed on the same spot.
The shockwaves generated by the collision of his fist and the Death Energy stirred up waves of air around them.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang—”
A series of impacts echoed like war drums. Sato Shin’ichi’s fists turned into afterimages, and the terrifying power seemed to have caused cracks in the surrounding space.
The Death Energy enveloping the energy core was dispersed by the attack, revealing a large section of the pale bone breastplate behind it.
“Roar—”
The sudden change happened too quickly. It wasn’t until Sato Shin’ichi’s fist hit the White Bone Giant’s chest that [White Bone] reacted, and an angry roar echoed again.
The White Bone Giant’s chest suddenly emitted a piercing sound of bone friction. Countless sharp bone spurs abruptly protruded from the surface of the breastplate like a shield wall.
These bone spurs were arranged densely, each glowing with an eerie green poison. They formed a bone barrier of pale white in front of Sato Shin’ichi’s fists.
“Clang, clang!”
Iron fists and bone spurs collided, emitting a deafening clash like metal on metal. Sato Shin’ichi’s fist sank deeply into the bone spurs, and the skin at his knuckles was torn and bloody by the sharp spurs. But the fighting spirit in the young boy’s eyes grew fiercer, and his first punch followed closely.
The bone spurs on the White Bone Giant’s chest continued to grow. The newly formed bone spurs were covered with viscous corrosive liquid. Every time Sato Shin’ichi’s fist struck, a “hissing” corrosive sound could be heard.
Large areas of black char marks appeared on the gray-white flesh and blood armor formed by Little Black.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”
Sato Shin’ichi’s offensive did not diminish in the slightest. Each punch precisely struck the same spot on the bone spur barrier. His arms were already bleeding profusely, but his punches became heavier and heavier. The bone spur defense of the White Bone Giant began to show cracks, and the outermost bone spurs split in a circle.
As the seventh punch landed, the bone spur barrier was finally blasted open with a gap.
Sato Shin’ichi’s eyes lit up, and he seized the fleeting opportunity. His final, accumulated punch, like a cannonball, shot through the gap and heavily smashed onto the White Bone Giant’s core breastplate.
“Crack!”
With a crisp cracking sound, the White Bone Giant’s breastplate was finally shattered by the young boy’s heavy punch. It revealed a hollow skeleton inside. And in the very center of that skeleton, the bare limbs of a man were held by pale bones, connected to a White Bone Giant. The man’s eyes burned with eerie green flames. This was [White Bone], who had transformed into Tian Yuanhuang’s body!
“I advise you not to approach rashly. Is it worth risking your life for two enemies from the [Dark] organization? He is just using you!!”
[White Bone]’s head suddenly lifted. He spoke very rapidly to the golden-haired man before him, a hint of anxiety in his words. As [White Bone] spoke, countless sharp bone spurs erupted from within the giant, filling the entire internal space and firmly blocking the path between the two of them.
“Boom—”
Sato Shin’ichi did not speak. The only response to [White Bone] was a heavy punch, laced with blood, that smashed heavily onto the mass of bone spurs.
The young boy’s fist, wreathed in billowing heatwaves, struck the bone spur barrier heavily. Bone fragments flew, and his knuckles were exposed to the bone, yet he continued to advance unstoppably.
“Bang!”
The last layer of bone spurs shattered in response.
[White Bone] frantically sat up from the giant’s chest, the eerie green flames flickering violently.
He hastily raised his arms, and a strong airflow rushed out from him. This was the remaining wind element from Tian Yuanhuang’s power. [White Bone] intended to use the impact of the airflow to create distance between them.
“Bang!”
A black arm shot out from his lower abdomen, accurately gripping [White Bone]’s throat. It was a separated part of Little Black’s body, which had seized [White Bone] at the critical moment, counteracting the impact of the airflow.
No!
[White Bone]’s eyes widened in terror, the eerie green flames flickering violently. In this instant, Sato Shin’ichi’s fully charged stone fist broke through the final defense—
“Boom!”
The iron fist, carrying steam and blood mist, smashed heavily into the white bone’s chest. The moment the fist made contact, the purple cracks on the fist broke off and perfectly covered the ribs on [White Bone]’s chest.
“Rumble!!”
A deep, loud roar emanated from the White Bone Giant’s chest, a sound so clear that even Kazumi on the city wall could hear it distinctly.
“Tian Yuanhuang bro!”
At this moment, the energy on Kazumi’s body directly surged, and Tian Yuanhuang also activated his abilities at the same time.
On the other side, in a secret room, a transparent female ghost standing in the center of the room suddenly opened her eyes. Her previously calm expression turned incomparably malevolent at this moment. She opened her mouth wide, and the air in the secret room suddenly froze.
The transparent body of the Lich suddenly emitted a scarlet light.
Her twisted face tore open, and a visible sound wave ripple erupted from her mouth.
“Ahhhhhh—”
The crystal wall of the special device resonated, layering the sound waves upon each other. The runes at the four corners of the secret room lit up one by one, like an opening net, compressing the incoming sound waves into a hair-thin energy beam.
This condensed, amplified death dust was finally compressed to the end of the device.
And at the very end, flickering, was a purple crack the size of a thumb, almost identical to the one on [White Bone]’s chest.
