I am the protagonist

Even the bellflower couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

The Vongola Guardians are all quite strong; in fact, these two are strong enough to handle Pomegranate.

Now he has to face two people alone.

[Truly worthy of being a guardian trained by Vongola X, Byakuran's nemesis.]

[It's astonishing that someone could improve their strength to such an extent in such a short time.]

While Kikyo was expressing her feelings, Gokudera was also reflecting on Kikyo's composure.

[He was even wary of me making a move while facing Hibari's attack; this guy is definitely stronger than us now.]

Even if I get involved now, it probably won't end well.

Gokudera glanced at Hibari Kyoya, who was attacking.

Ten years ago, Hibari was too impulsive. If I went up there now, I'd probably become a target too.

However, I'm too lazy to go up.

Gokudera already knew about Hibari's uncontrollable nature.

Ten years ago, when they were in junior high school, they had a fight with Lark. Lark's unpredictability was extraordinary and beyond imagination.

Gokudera also knew that the current Tenth Generation had no intention of controlling Hibari.

However, they simply stopped interfering with Hibari's actions and allowed him to act freely.

Gokudera was too lazy to join in the fun precisely because of this.

With a player like Hibari around, his presence on the field would actually become a limitation for him.

Rather than joining forces with Hibari, it would be better to wait until Hibari is defeated before taking action.

"Huh? Baseball idiot, you sorted it out over there?"

"...Ah, it took a little effort."

The Phantom Knight is still very strong. Even though the Phantom Knight's mind is no longer normal, his strength is definitely not exaggerated.

After Yamamoto stopped, he glanced at Kikyo and Hibari, who were fighting in front of him.

(The opponent is so strong, Hibari is no match for them at all.)

(These things are obvious to everyone; if the three of us join forces, there might be some hope.)

Gokudera glanced at Hibari but didn't show any particular emotion.

(If he were there, I might become a target the moment I went up there, so I'd rather not go looking for trouble.)

(Ah...that makes sense.)

Yamamoto understood Gokudera's thoughts, and he too had no intention of going up.

Rather than considering joining forces with Hibari, Yamamoto felt that joining forces with Gokudera was a more reliable option.

This situation was also observed by Kikyo.

"It seems you don't get along very well with the other guardians."

Lark raised an eyebrow.

"I am enough to deal with you alone."

Kikyo found this boastful statement quite amusing.

Despite his formidable strength and rapid growth, Hibari Kyoya's problem remains his aloofness and tendency to not fit in.

Even if one has enough talent, ability, and potential for growth, these are not symbols of strength. They only indicate the potential to reach a high standard in the future, not the present.

[This makes it seem like the Storm Guardian and Rain Guardian are much more level-headed.]

They probably know that Yun Shou won't cooperate and therefore won't choose to join forces with them, which is why they haven't made a move.

Well, that's the right thing to do.

The chances of losing in a one-on-one fight are too high. After all, his strength surpasses all of theirs, and it won't be easy to beat him in a one-on-one situation.

But if it's one against two, the odds of winning are much higher.

Kikyo is a very good choice, but a one-on-one situation would be unwise, while a two-on-one situation would be just right.

【Um? 】

The Wolfsbane's Death Flame reaction has disappeared... Was it defeated by the enemy warlock?

This result surprised Kikyo a bit.

[The opposing sorcerer is Chrome Dokuro... Rokudo Mukuro is already trapped by Byakuran, could it be that Chrome possesses the strength to defeat Wolf Poison?]

If that's the case, then I'm in trouble.

Kikyo is confident she won't lose even when facing three guardians, but winning is impossible.

However, if she were to face two well-coordinated guardians at the same time, along with a sorcerer who could even defeat Wolf Poison, Kikyo didn't think she could maintain such confidence.

[We should definitely deal with one of them first!]

Chapter 122 Cloud Guardian is actually the weakest.

"!?"

Hibari, who charged forward to attack once again, suddenly found that his feet were pinned down by vines.

(Oh no, Hibari is doomed.)

(A moment's hesitation in the face of Kikyo will cost you dearly.)

(We need to be wary of this move of his; the underground vines multiplied and entangled the lark's feet. He probably planned this all along.)

(Yes, this move is still quite risky.)

Gokudera and Yamamoto watched from the sidelines, memorizing everything.

The lark, who had been assigned to the task, knew trouble was brewing the moment its feet became entangled in the vines.

The crutches immediately blocked his way.

"呲呲!"

The sharp plant roots, mixed with the intense flames of death, pierced through the crutches and pierced through Yun Que's hands.

These roots quickly began to multiply, and in an instant they tightly bound Lark's hands and crutches.

"Oh!"

Kikyo kicked Hibari flying with just one kick.

The lark that fell to the ground was immediately bound tightly by vines that sprouted from the ground.

【trouble.】

With her hands tightly bound and all her points of leverage restricted, it was virtually impossible for Yun Que to break free.

The bellflower once again tossed some plant roots and stems at the lark.

This time, however, he wasn't planning to kill Hibari; he was testing him.

A dark shadow appeared in front of the rootstock.

Shiyu Cangyanliu - Special Type - Type 11 - Swallow's Beak!

The same number of spikes as the rhizomes easily pierced through them all.

Impressive swordsmanship.

[Without wasting any effort, it simply pierced my plant.]

The roots and stems of the bellflower are no longer noticeable.

Furthermore, they used Rain Flame to suppress my proliferation.

[As expected of a Vongola swordsman.]

Perhaps calling him a great swordsman would be more accurate.

Kikyo retreated instantly, and a vine on the ground blocked her path.

"Oh!"

A single bullet was enough to completely decompose the highly proliferating vines.

Not only is the Rain Guardian's strength astonishing, but the Storm Guardian's attacks are also incredibly sharp.

[The Storm Flame is the most destructive of all Dying Will Flames, and the Vongola's Storm Guardian has clearly honed this Dying Will Flame to its ultimate level.]

[Is the weapon used a pistol that can convert Dying Will Flames into bullets?]

[...No, that was an ordinary pistol. He himself transformed the deathly flames into bullets that could be used by an ordinary pistol.]

Kikyo knows what a pistol that converts the flames of death energy into bullets looks like.

Those kinds of pistols aren't easy to find, and even if you do find one, it's not used in this way.

The only explanation is that the pistol was an ordinary pistol, but the person using it was unusual.

[The Rain Guardian and the Storm Guardian are indeed formidable.]

Compared to the Cloud Guardians, they are stronger.

In just a moment, Kikyo had already made the judgment that the Storm Guardian and Rain Guardian were stronger than the Cloud Guardian.

[Aside from the Thunder Guardian being a child, the Cloud Guardian and Rain Guardian are both quite strong, and the Mist Guardian even defeated Wolf Poison; the Sun Guardian is likely no weaker than them.]

[Is it true that the Cloud Guardian, who has better potential, is currently the weakest?]

I really didn't expect that.

This result exceeded Kikyo's initial expectations.

However, Hibari Kyoya's future abilities are not bad, but his current strength and future are not equivalent. Kikyo's judgment on this point is correct.

【These two guys...】

Hibari Kyoya, who was lying on the ground, frowned.

In fact, he had already sensed that Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi's strength was abnormal.

The only difference is that I didn't feel it very clearly last time, but now I can feel it very clearly.

That person's strength is probably several levels higher than his.

"Truly worthy of being the guardian of Vongola X."

"Except for Hibari Kyoya, who hasn't fully matured yet, the others have already reached the standard of the True Six Funeral Wreaths."

These words really hurt the lark's pride.

But these harsh words only fueled Hibari's burning desire for greater power.

"We share the same beliefs as you, but we are still not as strong as you are right now."

"...It's enough that you've all realized this."

Kikyo's evaluation of the Rain Guardian and Storm Guardian has increased several points.

The Vongola's Rain Guardian and Storm Guardian are not far behind them now; given time, they will surely grow to the same level as him.

However, they probably can't do that in this era.

There isn't enough time left for them to grow up.

"However, if I want to deal with both of you at the same time, using only my average strength won't be enough."

"We still need to show some real strength."

An astonishing flame of death energy ignited from Kikyo's ring.

At this moment, Kikyo was truly getting serious.

Neither side is going to unleash their full potential right now, but they do need to bring out their serious strength.

(You baseball idiot, watch out, especially underground.)

(Ah, I know!)

Yamamoto charged forward, wielding his katana.
