I really...
Looking forward to it.
56. Waterloo, Sakurai lost
Come on gorgeously, [me].
Facing the giant Kayako that was more than ten meters tall, Sakurai tightly grasped the eight-sided silver hammer and disappeared on the spot in an instant.
With a loud bang, Sakurai reappeared and raised the hammer, which collided violently with Kayako's twisted pale palm.
The huge force that was disproportionate to Kayako's body instantly exploded Kayako's palm.
The hammer, with a strong burning sensation, knocked Kayako to the ground in an instant.
Taking advantage of the situation, Sakurai, with a stern expression, kept smashing the eight-sided silver hammer in his hand.
Kayako's body was bombarded continuously with extremely violent and indiscriminate attacks, and her ten-meter-tall body was beaten into minced meat.
The sound of the hammer hitting the meat, a sound that was infinitely similar to that of hand-made beef balls, drowned out the bubbling sound.
But even so, the huge Kayako's body healed faster than Sakurai destroyed her body.
If Sakurai had not launched continuous attacks after taking the initiative, Kayako might have already recovered her ability to move and suppressed Sakurai.
What a difficult guy, Sakurai muttered secretly in his heart, and his eyes became colder.
at this point--
The first characteristic of this "unspeakable" level weird story has already been revealed to Sakurai, and that is this completely unreasonable regeneration ability.
It can even be equated with immortality.
Perhaps this was also part of Kayako's plan. According to legend, there was a sea snake named Hydra, the nine-headed serpent.
It has nine heads, and if one of them is cut off, two more will immediately grow.
The great hero Hercules was facing the nine-headed Hydra whose heads kept regenerating.
Even Hercules, who had already defeated the invulnerable Nemean Lion, cut off its skin and wore it on himself as armor.
He was also helpless when faced with Hydra's constantly regenerating heads and the immortal head in the middle.
Later, when his nephew handed him a torch, Hercules used the torch to burn the wounds on the broken heads without cutting off any heads, and this time he successfully defeated the enemy.
Just like the deeds of Hercules, in a sense, fire has an innate restraint on immortality and rebirth.
However, in the fight with Kayako's clones, in order to deal with the almost unlimited clones, Sakurai continuously activated Hundred Flowers Dazzling Flame Soul Devouring in order to kill as many as possible, which eventually caused Aragamiya to temporarily fall into silence.
Now that Sakurai has lost the Soul Flame, he has no chips to stop Kayako's regenerative ability.
Is there nothing we can do now?
Another hammer fell, and Sakurai, who was sure that Kayako's regeneration did not reduce even one thousandth of the Planck time, was sure that his efforts were in vain.
There is no other possibility except working yourself to death.
Although it's quite difficult for Sakurai to work himself to death with his special body.
In short, after making sure that his current fight was futile, Sakurai put away the eight-sided silver hammer without hesitation and jumped backwards.
He stood up and landed about ten meters away from Kayako.
That is, the body position of Kayako.
In the few seconds that Sakurai stopped, Kayako's body, which had been almost beaten into a pulp, recovered completely. She crawled towards Sakurai on all fours in a very twisted posture.
"Is there nothing you can do?"
"It's still a long way off."
After asking and answering the question himself, Sakurai swung out the eight-sided silver hammer that was shining with silver light.
A large amount of blood spurted out from the crack on the palm and splashed everywhere.
The eight-sided silver hammer spun at high speed in the air and destroyed Kayako's legs with unstoppable force.
Just as Sakurai thought, the octagonal silver hammer with his blood on it successfully delayed Kayako's healing process.
Taking advantage of the situation, Sakurai pulled out the dormant Aragami fang from his waist and punched Kayako's arm with his fist.
Even if it fell into silence, the Fang of the God of Wilderness, which was made from the core of the God of Wilderness, inherently had a great restraint on spiritual bodies.
It is still a magical weapon that is invincible against spiritual beings.
With one punch, Kayako's pale arm was shattered in an instant.
It also reduces Kayako's healing speed.
He raised his hand to catch the octagonal silver hammer that flew back to him. With his super dynamic vision, Sakurai could see Kayako's every move clearly.
Her dancing arms were simply unable to catch Sakurai, who was as light as a swallow and had a keen eye for details.
With a loud "boom", the flying octagonal silver hammer smashed Kayako's head again.
But this alone is just a drop in the bucket.
From just now till now, he has not...
There was not even a single effective attack on Kayako.
For the first time, Sakurai realized how difficult it was to deal with an immortal body.
He probably felt the irritability of the enemies he had fought before.
What he lacks now is the means to launch a large-scale attack with high burst in an instant.
At this moment, Sakurai understood this clearly.
However, even so, it is not time to give up yet.
Holding the eight-sided silver hammer tightly, Sakurai once again released a large amount of blood.
Just when Sakurai was about to repeat the same trick, a pair of pale arms appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Sakurai's legs. With a flash of silver light, they were cut off. Sakurai broke free from the restraints of these hands in the first place.
But this brief pause was too much for this war.
The result of this momentary flaw was that pairs of pale arms grabbed his hands one after another.
Immediately following, pairs of arms emerged from nothingness and grabbed Sakurai.
Kayako giggled and her hand, which was bigger than his, dropped from the air and easily snatched the eight-sided silver hammer from the restrained Sakurai's hand.
Immediately afterwards, a hideous and resentful face appeared on his chest and stared at Sakurai. The moment the eight-sided silver hammer left his hand, Kayako controlled Sakurai.
Sakurai, whose skin color gradually turned dark blue, was unable to move at this moment.
With a clang, the eight-sided bright silver hammer fell heavily to the ground.
Even if he wanted to fly into Sakurai's hands by himself, it was too late now that Sakurai was completely wrapped up in the pale palm.
From the moment the Eight-sided Silver Hammer was taken away and Sakurai was captured by Kayako, the winner of the war between them had already been decided.
Sakurai....
The entire team was defeated in the battle with Kayako and the Grudge.
57. Roar Again, Hundred Flowers in Disarray, Flames Devouring Souls
So careless.
He thought he had the protection of his own barrier and could ignore Kayako's control.
However, he completely overlooked the fact that Endless Barrier only provides immunity to magic but no resistance to physical objects.
If it is physical contact, it can completely restrain my body.
If you control me, you can take away the eight-sided silver hammer right away.
I should have guessed this possibility a long time ago, why did I only react now?
Sakurai realized this belatedly and felt a little annoyed.
It's too late to regret now.
Sakurai could only accept the fact that he had lost.
The only flaw in the self-barrier, Thousand Hammers, Endless Barrier, is that if there is no blood supply within three seconds after the eight-sided bright silver hammer leaves the palm, it will be automatically removed.
Since I hadn't died in the battle with Kayako and the Grudge yet and didn't have time to read the timeline, I hadn't anticipated this at all.
How can I describe myself when I failed to even collect the most basic intelligence?
In his heart, Sakurai blamed himself for his mistake.
This is the third time, we have suffered three Waterloo at the hands of the same enemy.
It's really embarrassing.
Kayako, you are such a tough and powerful enemy, as you were able to seize this tiny flaw and defeat me in an instant.
But don’t think that it ends here. My biggest characteristic is that I never give up my skills.
One day, I will come back.
By then, our offense and defense will be out of place.
The strength in his body was gradually disappearing, his skin color was infinitely close to Kayako's paleness, and his consciousness was almost swallowed up and became blurred.
but...
He is not dead yet, and Kayako seems to be intentionally controlling him, not allowing him to reset his status through death.
Has Kayako even considered this?
It really is...
A tough enemy.
He's been defeated. He's been plotted against completely.
Sakurai was clearly aware of this.
The last thing Sakurai heard was Kayako's extremely proud laughter and...
