"boom--"

Makoto Haramura, who was originally moving backward at high speed, was now strangely suspended in mid-air.

No, that's not right.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Makoto Haramura was moving backward at a speed of 100 meters per second just now, but now he's moving backward at a speed of 0.0001 meters per second.

It was Makoto Haramura who slowed down the flow of his own time.

"How did you find out, Stella?"

While suspended in the air, Makoto Haramura smiled and asked Stella.

"I don't know, I just suddenly had this feeling, a feeling that you couldn't possibly be attacked by my simple attack pattern."

"You must have a third step."

"And the third step is aimed at catching me off guard, and incapacitating me with a single strike."

"..."

"This really leaves me speechless."

Stella achieved this solely through her understanding of Makoto Haramura, without relying on anything else.

What else can Makoto Haramura say in this situation?

"This is a new ability I've discovered."

"realm!"

Stella descended slowly from the sky to the ground without launching an attack, and no one from the commentary booth made a sound to disturb her.

As everyone knows, Makoto Haramura is currently explaining his abilities.

Everyone listened with bated breath, without exception.

"In short, this is the realm. There are twelve quarters on my clock, each quarter representing a different realm and a different weapon."

"However, the weapons cannot appear and be used at the same time, which is one of the drawbacks."

The new power that Makoto Haramura awakened is exactly the same as that of Yukari Yakumo and the Halloween Queen.

It is the same level of power.

However, just as the White Demon said, Makoto Haramura's awakening is not yet complete, and can only manifest in the form of a spirit dress.

Its scope is not as extensive as that of Yakumo Yukari and Halloween Queen, and can only be limited to twelve types.

However, even so, Makoto Haramura's own account was enough to leave everyone present speechless.

"Did you hear that?"

I have to give credit to the sound system at the stadium. Even though Makoto Haramura didn't shout loudly, his voice was still transmitted very well and reached the ears of every spectator.

Then, Kurogane Shizuku covered her forehead, looking completely incredulous.

"What is this? This is equivalent to him possessing twelve different sword-wielding abilities. He's already beyond the limits."

"really."

Even Ikki Kurogane's lips twitched slightly.

"Cheng Zhen truly surprises others time and time again."

"Is this the change in that kid you were talking about?"

"That's a bit much."

Even Shinomiya Kuro was speechless with astonishment; she was also shocked by Haramura Makoto's abilities.

"Actually, it's not too bad."

"This kid's ability is indeed outstanding, but at most he's among the top few in the world. I'm afraid he's not likely to be number one."

Only Xijing Ningyin gently shook her head, expressing her opposition.

"Aren't you going to tell me all twelve of your abilities?"

Stella lowered her waist, gripped the hilt of the knight's sword with both hands, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"It's not necessary."

"I think that's enough. No matter how much more I say, you won't be happy, Stella."

Slowly raising his gun, Makoto Haramura also aimed it at Stella.

"Yes."

Stella smiled, and then the entire scene began to distort, centered on her.

Immediately afterwards, Stella's fiery hair began to shimmer with phosphorescence, and with that shimmering light, a scarlet phosphorescence spread out.

The heat surged at that moment.

Like a stopwatch ticking away, the numbers flipped.

"—'Tyrannosaurus Roar'!"

Invisible light and heat surged from Stella's body and spread in all directions.

The scorching heatwave spread out from Stella, almost instantly engulfing the entire battle zone.

However, they were faced with the "Tyrannosaurus Roar," a force that terrified all the referees, who were working hard to reinforce and maintain the barrier.

Makoto Haramura simply stood there quietly, without making any move.

It was as if the heatwave wasn't scorching hot and could instantly burn a human, but rather a warm breeze in spring, gently caressing Makoto Haramura.

"It can't be that simple."

While Stella understood him, he also understood Stella.

Knowing that he was completely immune to thermal attacks, Stella wouldn't waste her magic and use a useless fire attack for no reason.

"boom--"

Wielding a giant sword in both hands, Stella shattered the already dilapidated ground once more as she charged towards Makoto Haramura.

Chapter 132 The Dragon God Descends

Extremely high temperatures scorched the atmosphere.

Stella charged forward at incredible speed, slashing down with the greatsword she held in both hands.

The powerful and heavy blow, even before the attack landed, the pressure generated by the sword slashing down was enough to make Haramura Makoto's hair fly wildly.

"—'The Moment of One: The Boundary Between Reality and Illusion'!"

The pointer moved forward, the katana was gripped tightly in his hand, and Makoto Haramura's killing intent erupted.

Facing an opponent like Stella, Makoto Haramura needs to use all his strength without the slightest hesitation.

Only the purest killing intent, with a genuine desire to take Stella's life, can unleash its full power.

"—'Swallow Return'!"

Three blades, like windmills, swept across the space, attacking from three directions. The sword light, aimed at the same spot, directly slashed out a huge gash that pierced half of Stella's body.

"..."

In an instant, Stella's figure, which should have collapsed to the ground, suddenly swayed and disappeared without a trace, like a phantom.

One of Stella's special skills.

It's a unique sword technique that uses the refraction of light to project an illusion, similar to a mirage.

"——'Yinyan Dark Curtain'!"

Yes, she knew perfectly well that her fire attacks were useless against Haramura Makoto.

She had experienced this countless times.

Therefore, one's own fire attacks can only be used to disrupt vision.

That was her plan.

The initial thermal attack drew Haramura Makoto's attention, followed by a direct sword strike to lower his guard, and finally, the attack hidden under the illusion was the real attack.

(There was enough time, but not enough time to react.)

The blade was now only millimeters away from Makoto Haramura's body.

No matter how extraordinary or bizarre Haramura Makoto's body was, it was impossible for it to block her body under these circumstances.

Yes, impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Excuse me, Cheng, I will seize the initiative."

"—'The Sixth Hour: The Boundary Between Carbon and Gold'!"

A golden clock appeared on Makoto Haramura's body, and the hands had somehow moved to the X position.

The golden light, after being aligned with the pointer, shone down.

"Chong-"

A crisp sword ringing sound rang out, but the expected scene of Haramura Makoto being directly defeated or sent flying did not occur.

Makoto Haramura, on the contrary, stood there quietly, like an unmoving deity.

Stella's knight's sword struck his back, but he didn't budge.

Even his clothes weren't torn; instead, Makoto Haramura's previously exposed skin suddenly shimmered with a silvery sheen.

He physically withstood Stella's full-force attack.

The force of the recoil even traveled back to Stella's hand, making her hand go numb.

"This……"

Stella realized something was wrong, so she immediately distanced herself from Makoto Haramura.

That is, at the very moment Stella left.

The silver covering Haramura Makoto immediately receded like a tide, revealing his original skin.

"Well, to put it simply, it's superalloy steel."

"It's a substance I imagined that doesn't exist in this world. It's so hard that even a flame of 6,000 degrees Celsius can't melt it."

"But it's precisely because it's so hard that I can't move around freely now that it's like this."

"It's very troublesome."

Stella's sword is the strongest and most powerful sword.

Compared to Makoto Haramura, Ikki Kurogane's swordsmanship did not contain particularly exquisite techniques.

But her strength is her greatest weapon, and this tactic of overwhelming others with force is the most suitable method for her.

"What are you doing?"

"Is he trying to completely control me?"

Stella was truly speechless. Her own fire abilities were useless, and the only thing she could rely on—her immense strength—could be blocked by Makoto Haramura by hardening his skin.

"Forget it, I don't think this will make things difficult for you."

"You should have already thought of a solution."

Makoto Haramura burst out laughing.

The distance between him and Stella wasn't exactly close, but he felt his vision was clearer than ever before.

He could see so clearly that he could even see the fine hairs on Stella's skin and the flow of blood in the veins beneath her skin.

"I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."

"Yeah!"

(Looks like that's not enough.)

Makoto Haramura's eyes widened, and he gripped the hilt of the knife tightly.

(In that case, let's tighten the pressure even more and let ourselves go even more.)
