Chapter 95: (1)
The Secret of Invincibility
Two people were facing each other.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
One was the man who carried numerous demons on his back and wished to change the world, Ganash.
The other was the man who got engrossed with the idea of connecting the oil floating in the soup and making it one, Tanaka.
Two great men couldnt stand side by side, as the saying goes.
Truly a critical situation. Just as the curtain was about to be raised on the battle between the two men, it could be said to be promised for a beautiful woman to stop it.
Wait. I can still fight.
Perhaps finally regaining her consciousness. The fallen down Imperial Princess Karin tried to rise. It was a secret only to Tanaka that-san that he sharp-sightedly checked her clothes for any dishevelment there and was relieved to find that it was not after the fact.
Oioi, stop forcing yourself. Just leave the rest to me. To this me who will fight for you.
I would like to note that he put emphasis on it as he said the fight for you line here.
For the sake of the Empire, I cant afford to be defeated. To protect the people of this country, I will rise up as many times necessary.
Tanaka sighed lightly at Karins words and responded in his signature good grief.
Youre misunderstanding something here.
What?
It is true that power is necessary for a country, but the people of this country are not seeking for power or strength from you who are standing at the top. What they truly wish for is an attitude that can make them proud. With only showing that figure of yours, you are able to unite their hearts, this country as one. Thatll turn into the power of this country.
Theres no way thats true. Thats not going to convince the people. Those standing at the top should not be allowed to get away with only something like that.
In that case, let me prove it to you. That theres power in that noble figure you are displaying right now.
. Tanaka called Toby and sent Karin away. Toby shouldered the terribly enviable task of lending a shoulder to the Imperial Princess, but he had no leeway to think of such perks. Because he was under pressure of If you do anything, Ill sock you, alright? from Tanaka-san, which he sensed from his back.
Youve certainly fulfilled your duty. Because youve managed to make this soul of mine tremble, after all. Take a look, the power of the man that you have inspired.
Ganash unleashed a punch that could easily reap ones life at Tanakas head. However, that attack killed nothing but the air. Ganash, who boasted high battle power even while being empty-handed, was about to calmly unleash the second punch, but his movement froze there.
Impossible.
Ganash had completely lost sight of Tanaka. And then, his word could be said to also represent all the spectators watching this battle.
Wh, whats going on here?!
In the spectator seat, Torte leaked out these words that werent particularly aimed toward anyone. From the seat she was on, she could overlook the whole arena at once. However, even such her had lost sight of Tanaka.
I wonder whats going on.
Even Mikoto couldnt give an answer to this. She was aware of Tanakas beyond common sense strength, but that didnt mean she could explain it.
If you listen closely, youll get it. Ive always had confidence in my speed, but I dont think I could conceal my presence as perfectly as this.
The one who answered as such was Yashichi. Just as he said, those who strained their ears could notice the echo of a noise they had never heard before.
are you here?
On top of the arena, Ganash muttered as such while looking around his surroundings. That figure of him on guard in vigilance seemed like a different person than the man who had been brimming with fury until just a moment ago. He was also a first-class warrior. He had shifted his gear after this brief exchange. He experienced firsthand that the opponent he was dealing with was one that he couldnt afford to let his guard down around.
Are you implying that youre so fast I cant even see you? In that case I will just burn everything to the ground!
Ganashs body was engulfed in flames. Their tribe possessed the special ability of being able to control flames at will. Ganash jumped up and unleashed his fist toward the ground. Firepower that was enough to burn everything to the ground, as he claimed, was emitted from his fist.
The flames spread as they collided with the ground. Its firepower was so terrific, packed with enough force to engulf the whole arena in an instant and was close to rising up the audience.
However, the flames were strangely enough blocked at the edge of the arena. The ones that were presumably the cause of this were the mysterious devil figures that before they knew it had appeared in the four corners of the arena. Their true identity was the power that Tanaka had newly acquired, the Great Sins Triad Annihilation Formation. The fact they had increased by one was probably proof that the battle against the God of Destruction had brought about a great deal of growth in Tanaka. Including the new demon of the vanity of continuing the conversation despite being unable to recall the name of the conversation partner, for the Great Sins Quartet Annihilation Formation Adi Amarta that had seen further perfection, blocking off flames was a trivial feat.
What the hell is this?
Ganash, who had landed on the ground, was wary of the mysterious devil figures that had blocked his flames. The flames were eventually extinguished, leaving only the four devil figures and Ganash in the arena.
