Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

"Was it devoured by your 'Tiger Devour'? Just like before?"

Makoto Haramura is indeed very strong now, but he has not yet reached the point where he can ignore opponents of the same level.

Besides, I've said it countless times already.

In battles between swordsmen, the outcome is largely determined by the degree to which their supernatural abilities counter each other.

Makoto Haramura's own special abilities need no further explanation.

The key point is that Moroboshi Yudai's ability is like a natural counter to the Blade Master.

—"Tiger Devours"!

It can crush (nullify) all the Blade Master's Blade-Cleaning Techniques, and can even eliminate the enemy's inherent Spirit Armor.

In fact, what he just fired was never an ordinary bullet.

It was a bullet containing spatial power, capable of distorting space. He wanted to catch Moroboshi Yudai off guard, but he didn't expect the guy to be so cautious.

"Bang bang bang-"

The same bullets fired in a three-round burst.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang——"

Moroboshi Yudai swung his spear directly, and although he only thrust it forward once, three collision sounds rang out in the air.

Guns are different from other weapons.

Swords or knives can be used to block attacks from two or three points at the same time by changing the angle of the blade.

But guns are clearly different.

Only the tip of Moroboshi Yudai's spear can be used to perform the Tiger Devouring Technique.

In other words, no other spear techniques can block Haramura Makoto's spatial distortion; he can only use the most important part of his weapon, the stab.

This means one thing.

At that very moment, Moroboshi Yudai thrust out three times.

"—'Triple Star'!"

"How about that? This should be enough as a return gift for you."

Makoto Haramura's gaze became unfocused.

—A triple star formation!

It was the ultimate spear technique that Moroboshi Yudai had mastered. From the side, the movement looked like a single thrust, but in reality, it pierced through three places at the same time. There was almost no gap between the spear's advance and retreat, making it the fastest attack mode.

"indeed."

Makoto Haramura lowered his gun-wielding arm, neither running nor jumping, as if taking a leisurely stroll, without any murderous intent, and slowly walked towards Yudai Moroboshi.

"However, aren't you being a bit arrogant?"

"They actually think that a 'triple star' is enough as a return gift, instead of a 'broom star'?"

To the astonishment of the entire audience, Makoto Haramura stopped 1.5 meters in front of Moroboshi.

This is still a long distance for a knife, but a gun can easily reach the enemy's range.

This is truly jaw-dropping news for everyone.

What is the best way to deal with Moroboshi Yudai?

That must be flying a kite over a long distance, since controlling distance is what this person excels at.

It's worth noting that last year, he never allowed Toudou Touka to reach effective attack range even once.

just now!

Makoto Haramura, however, deliberately gave up his advantage in spirit armor and walked up to Yudai Moroboshi, wanting to engage him in close combat.

"Now, I'm giving you the chance to show me your true power."

"As a return gift, I will also let you see my 'Lianhe'."

They re-established their stance.

Makoto Haramura raised his eyebrows, signaling to Yudai Moroboshi that they could attack.

"Really, then I'm not welcome."

He felt slighted, but Moroboshi Yudai didn't feel angry; instead, the hairs on his body stood on end.

A triple-star combo that is completely invisible to the naked eye.

One becomes three, two becomes six, three becomes nine, and four becomes twelve.

The gunshots, though made by hand, resembled a rain of death falling from the sky, their density almost indistinguishable from the hail of bullets fired by a Gatling gun.

"—'Time Rejection'!"

"—Five times speed!"

The moment the pale yellow illusory image of a clock appeared in Haramura Makoto's eye sockets, Haramura Makoto's figure moved.

Faced with such a dense attack, almost enough to trigger trypophobia.

Instead of retreating to avoid it, Makoto Haramura moved horizontally, as if dancing, alternating between left and right steps. If he missed even by a hair's breadth, he would be stabbed.

It feels like dancing on swords.

Moroboshi continued his attack, but Haramura Makoto did not retaliate, only dodging. This offensive and defensive battle had been going on for about ten seconds.

"Chong-"

The first clash finally began. Haramura Makoto suddenly raised his right arm, his right hand holding the sword rising to block the spear that was thrusting towards his shoulder.

"—'Ten times speed'!"

The movement, which was already like an afterimage, completely disappeared from Moroboshi Yudai's sight this time.

All that seemed to be scattered in the air were the sparks from the friction of the gun barrels.

Moroboshi Yuuda's pupils widened suddenly. Without even thinking, he released one hand that was holding the gun, swung his well-trained arm, and fired at the empty space in front of him.

"—'Qinghai Wave'!"

A pale blue flame suddenly bloomed on the left shoulder of Moroboshi.

Then came the terrifying sound of wind pressure.

"Bang bang—"

"..."

"Wow, that's amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

It wasn't just the audience who were like this; even in the commentary booth, the female commentator's exclamations of praise could be heard continuously.

“It’s really amazing.”

The elderly narrator's voice also rang out.

"They almost completely suppressed Naniwa Star in close combat."

"The attacks were relentless, giving no one a chance to breathe, and the time-space freezing was also very clever."

"At first, I also thought that his actions were a sign of his self-confidence, but now it seems that it was more than that."

"Eh?"

"Is not it?"

A surprised voice came from the young female narrator.

To put it bluntly, Haramura Makoto deliberately walked into Moroboshi Yudai's attack range, and his posture was so loose that no matter how you looked at it, he seemed to be looking down on Moroboshi Yudai from a high place.

Not only did she think so, but other viewers thought so too.

However, the one raising the question now is Mr. Kaieda, a very experienced and seasoned woodcutter.

"It's actually a move that seems provocative, but is in fact inevitable."

"Everyone believes that using a long-range attack is a better way to attack time-space freeze."

"In fact, the ranged attack speed of the time-freeze is quite fast, but it is still within the reaction range of Naniwa Star."

"As for the ranged attacks that Naniwa Star can react to, they are nothing under the attack of the 'Tiger Devour' sword-slaying technique."

"Of course, if this continues, the spacetime freeze, which has the advantage of magic, will probably win in a war of attrition."

"However, Time Freeze might not like this way of winning, so he chose to approach Naniwa Star directly."

"At Naniwa Star's preferred attack range, engage in close combat and force him to use his gun skills."

"Then use the Blade-Cutting Ability to enhance yourself, let Naniwa Star get used to your current speed, and finally, in a split second, increase your speed to the limit, creating a visual contrast for Naniwa Star. In this way, at least for that instant, Naniwa Star will not be able to grasp the time-space freeze."

"That's how he was frozen in time and space and pushed into his optimal attack range."

"In this way, the situation has become reversed, and it is now Naniwa Star's turn to be in a difficult situation."

The analysis went into detail, including the movements and the current situation on the field.

No one questioned Kaijeda's analysis.

Compared to a sword, a spear is somewhat cumbersome. Every move with a spear involves wide, sweeping motions, which means that no matter how fast a spear moves, it can never be faster than the person wielding a sword, assuming both individuals have similar physical abilities.

Moreover, Makoto Haramura's physical condition is much better than Yuta Moroboshi's.

"Does that mean Naniwa Star's defeat is already inevitable?"

One of the things that Japanese people love most is the so-called underdog triumph.

Perhaps on the surface, and in terms of current performance, Makoto Haramura is stronger, but the title of "Seven Star Sword King" still belongs to Yudai Moroboshi, so he is in a superior position.

Makoto Haramura's performance, which is an underdog victory, has greatly excited the female commentator.

"No, didn't I already say that?"

"The battle is still evenly matched, and even in this situation, I still stand by my opinion."

As Kaijanda spoke, his volume decreased.

"You know, this guy is a man with an extraordinary will."

Chapter 117 Unexpected Visitor 1

Many people only know that Moroboshi Yuta is a genius and enjoys the reputation of being the best in Kansai.

However, few people know that when he was a child, Yudai Moroboshi had both legs amputated below the knees to protect his younger sister. Even the regeneration pod could not heal such injuries, and he would never be able to stand up again.

However, this was not entirely hopeless. At that time, the strongest physician and the pharmacist Kiriko, who possessed the strongest healing abilities, proposed a research method called 'repairing damaged parts with cells from the whole body'.

Specifically, this research involves stimulating the body's cells to divide rapidly, and then using the excess cells to reconstruct damaged body parts.

Yakushi Kiriko's original intention was to enable disabled people all over the world to have a healthy body.

The experiment was fine, and the operation was fine, but Pharmacist Kiriko still gave up in the end.

Because it stimulates the violent division and migration of cells throughout the body, the side effects of the surgery are very serious. During the surgery, muscles may atrophy to a fatal degree, and bones may become so porous that they could rupture at any time.

In order to ensure cell activity, even when one is extremely thin and bony, one must still engage in very high-intensity physical exercise.

Simply put, it means destroying your body thousands of times and then rebuilding it.

This is inhuman torture.

"I also participated in that experiment, trying to revive my severed arm, but I could only endure it for seven days before I could no longer bear it."

The battle on stage continued, and Hai Jiangtian's voice kept coming from the phone.

But at this moment, the audience seemed more concerned with this little-known matter than with the fierce battle on the field.

Even a seasoned veteran who had survived countless chaotic battles couldn't last even seven days.

This is a veteran who fought on the battlefield, bearing countless scars, yet never once frowned.

Even people like that can't bear this kind of pain.

"Yes, I couldn't bear it, but Naniwa Star endured the excruciating pain to recreate his legs so that his sister wouldn't feel guilty."

"A person with such a strong will will not give up easily."
