Chapter 230 Who is the winner

Chapter 230 Who is the winner (Part )
There are still thirty-nine minutes before the heavy rain starts.

Akame looked at Gozichi in front of her, and the hand holding Murasame trembled slightly.

As she took a deep breath, the assassin lady's mouth couldn't help but emit a sweet and fishy taste of rust.

Gozizi, who seemed somewhat relaxed, looked at the exhausted enemy in front of him and couldn't help but smile, while at the same time attacking the enemy's will.

"Your swordsmanship has made new progress.

“I don’t know if it’s because you received guidance from a sword master, but your swordsmanship has a faint sense of brilliant flames.

"It gave me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if I had seen this kind of sword technique with such momentum somewhere before.

"If this swordsmanship master comes in person, my swordsmanship will definitely not get the upper hand against him."

Before he finished speaking, Goziqi released the "force" to suppress Chitong, and then turned to retract the "force", and instantly disappeared from Chitong's sight.

In just a moment, the bandaged hand holding the [Kiri Ichimonji] approached Akame like a poisonous snake, suppressing the [Murasame] that she was swinging with all her might.

Looking at his 'daughter' who was so close to him, Goziqi said without changing his expression.

"But you are still far from that powerful man whose sword seems to carry extremely strong 'momentum'.

"Why don't you use the same brilliant swordsmanship that defeated me a few days ago to defeat me?
"Yes, good luck won't favor you twice in a short period of time.

"That day, I was unexpectedly defeated by my own 'daughter' in swordsmanship. After I narrowly escaped death, I have always wanted to win back with swordsmanship."

Chi Tong suppressed the blood and anger running rampant in his internal organs, and responded coldly while trying to recall the feeling of defeating Gozizi that day.

“You don’t use only swordsmanship, Gozizi.

"Aren't you always using 'momentum' to cheat?
"Is this what you call a 'sword fight'?"

Having been exposed, Goziqi no longer hid his power.

With his full power, he easily lowered the Murasame held by Akame bit by bit, playing with a mouse, while speaking in a dignified and shameless manner.

“You actually discovered me!

"But why isn't the 'momentum' derived from swordsmanship considered swordsmanship?

"I went through so much trouble just to regain Murasame's approval and take this Imperial Weapon back from you, but you actually saw through my little trick.

"Ever since I lost to you in the sword fight, Murasame seems to have favored you. Now that I see it, I find that it has become indifferent to me."

*
Akame took a deep breath and once again activated the [Limiter Release] in the [Oberg Assassination Technique], squeezing the potential of his body to the limit.

Borrowing Fang Yi's blazing skill, the [Sun Breathing: Strengthened] seemed a little different when used in her hands.

After being reminded by Gozizi again, Akagi, who sensed the "momentum" attached to the sword, had already vaguely found the feeling of defeating Gozizi on that day.

She had a premonition that if she faced a desperate situation again, she would be able to regain that feeling of being assisted by God and being able to cut through anything.

With the power brought by [Limiter Release], she lifted the suppressed [Murasame] back little by little in front of Gozizi's shocked gaze, and said in a rather tough manner.

"Perhaps you gave a bad impression to the Imperial Equipment, Gozichi.

"After all, no one likes a gloomy old man.

"The next blow will kill you!"

There was a mixture of anger and laughter in Gozizi's eyes. With the help of the stronger power transmitted from Akadoe [Murasame], he once again distanced himself from Akadoe.

He held the newly-born [Ministerial Tool] [Kiri Ichimonji], squatted slightly, and made the motion of drawing his sword.

[Getting a glimpse of the secret], the momentum unfolded again like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, slowing down the movement of the red pupil in his eyes.

[It seems I can't regain Murasame's approval. I can only kill him in the safest way.]

Gozchi first swung out two vicious sword auras as if his horse was free, and then used the [Body Control] that he had not used for a long time. He instantly stretched out his arm, holding the [Kiri Ichimonji] and rushed straight to Akado's neck, vowing to chop off Akado's head.

After doing all this, Gozizi couldn't help but utter some melancholy words.

"I am the winner of this battle after all! Goodbye, my foolish 'daughter'."

*
Under the pressure of the "momentum", Akame's body became sluggish, and she could only watch helplessly as the sword energy approached her body.

She didn't start swinging her arms until the sword energy and Gozizi's blade were about to touch her neck.

Miss Assassin's heart is extremely firm, and her thoughts at this moment are quite pure.

[I promised Fang Yi that I would be the winner of this battle. I will find my 'momentum' again!]

[I also believe that Fang Yi's swordsmanship must contain a method that can defeat Goziqi.]

[As long as I find it, I will be able to re-enter that day of feeling almost omnipotent and invincible, and defeat my opponent.]

In such a desperate situation, Chi Tong looked at Goziqi and swung the knife in his hand with all his strength based on his feeling.

Half a second later, she finally found it.

At the same time, a few days ago, the "force" that exuded an aura of invincibility descended upon her again in a desperate situation.

In just a moment, Gozizi's momentum was crushed.

In her eyes, Gozizi used [Body Manipulation] to transform his arms into those of a rubber man, and thus slowed down.

In order to win quickly, Gozizi did not swing his sword normally to speed up, but instead used [Body Manipulation] to extend his arm and sent it close to Akame before swinging his sword to catch her off guard.

In this case, he actually fully benefited from the slowing effect of Miss Assassin's 'momentum'.

Chi Tong's eyes lit up when he found Fang Yi's technique to break the sword energy, and he understood instantly.

"It turns out that to break the sword energy, you only need to destroy the core of the opponent's sword energy and disrupt the structure."

With the help of Fang Yi's skills, she swung her sword easily, only sending out a slow sword energy, which arrived first and made the two sword energies swung by Gozqi disappear instantly.

Looking at Goziqi who was suppressed by his own 'momentum' and unable to react at all.

Under the blessing of that all-destroying "momentum", Akame, who was in better condition than ever before, swung the knife in her hand and chopped off Gozizi's head cleanly and neatly.

Until the curse spread and Gozizi was silent, the assassin lady, who had confirmed his death, said her farewell words firmly but somewhat heavily.

"Goodbye 'father' and my cowardice.

"The winner of this battle is me."

At this moment, there are still thirty-six minutes before the heavy rain falls.

Former Rakshasa Four Demons and 'Shi' warrior, Goziqi, was killed by Akame.
-
Forty minutes before the heavy rain starts, by the fountain in Arya's garden.

Fang Yi and Brand, both wearing masks, stood side by side, looking at Zhu Tian in front of them and the two [Imperial Tool Users] not far behind them. Neither of them spoke.

Both sides understood one thing: the outcome of this battle should be decided in just a few minutes.

The outcome of this battlefield will determine the final outcome of today's battle.

Regardless of the ongoing confrontation between 'Gozzi-Akatō', 'Disma-Daidas', 'Lubbock-Lan' and the others, it actually cannot change the overall situation of the war.

Zhu Tian looked at Fang Yi wearing a mask, and a familiar feeling arose in his heart for some reason.

He had a bit of an illusion in his mind, mistakenly thinking that the masked man in front of him was Fang Yi, whom he had just met in the morning.

Zhu Tian shook his head, driving the illusion out of his mind.

How could he be Fang Yi? Fang Yi is the rising star of the [Ministers' Camp], and now the two of them are appearing in the same frame.

Zhu Tian glanced at Cosmia behind him, and this "witch" who was scantily clad and loved to torture men immediately understood what the other party meant.

She lifted the microphone slightly and was about to start the attack, but unexpectedly a man with a heart-shaped hairstyle and holding a spear suddenly appeared in front of her.

It was Brand who had obtained the enemy's [Imperial Weapon] intelligence in advance from Fang Yi.

Brand's "momentum" of "familiarity" instantly unfolded, causing Cosmia's body to become sluggish.

As Brand's tenacious momentum unfolded instantly, the iron spear in his hand turned into a long dragon, and the tip of the spear had already pointed to Cosmia's throat.

He chose to strike first and prepare to reduce the number of members in the opponent's team.

*
Just when Brad thought he had succeeded, a hand that was as flexible as rubber appeared before his eyes.

This hand then firmly grasped Brand's spear, and a force both real and fake erupted instantly, gaining a slight advantage and directly suppressing Brand's force.

It was Zhu Tian.

Zhu Tian, who activated [Body Control] with one hand and held the spear, looked at Brand with a ferocious smile and spoke slowly.

"What's the point of bullying an Imperial Weapon User who has no 'power'?
"Are you Brand? You look like you're injured? Where's your [Imperial Tool] and [Demon Haunting]?"

"It seems that the information Goziqi obtained from that hook-nosed man, although exaggerated, is not entirely false. You are indeed injured."

Brand's hands trembled, but he did not take the spear back from Zhu Tian's hands.

Brand, who is now seriously injured and has lost his [Imperial Gear], is being completely suppressed by Zhu Tian in terms of panel attributes.

Seeing Cosmia gradually regaining her mobility and about to open her mouth to activate the [Imperial Weapon], Brand clapped his hands and exerted force immediately.

He pulled the iron spear in his hand and broke the chain that connected the spear body in the middle. The spear in his hand instantly broke into two, breaking into two long sticks.

Brand, holding a long stick, was about to dodge the ultrasonic wave of Cosmia's [Imperial Weapon] [Rumbling Earth·Heavy Pressure], but he didn't expect Zhu Tian to be relentless.

Zhu Tian tightened the muscles in his left arm that was holding the gun, and then gathered strength to turn the spear in his hand into a stream of light, throwing it towards Fang Yi who was trying to save the situation behind Brand.

Then he stepped heavily on the ground with both feet, and his body accelerated instantly. He clasped his right hand into a fist, and with a "momentum" that was both real and fake, he urged the "Fist King Temple Hundred Rift Fist" to attack Brand.

In just a moment, Zhu Tian's right hand experienced four accelerations like a segmented rocket, approaching Brand's chest with astonishing momentum.

"Brand, you're seriously injured and have lost your Imperial Tool, yet you dare to attack me with this level of combat power.

“You are so courageous.

"This punch will liberate your soul!"

As the punch came, Brand had no choice but to open his eyes wide, use the [Rock Body Strengthening Method] to harden his arm muscles, and at the same time hold the long stick horizontally to try his best to resist.

However, Zhu Tian obviously had no intention of doing this. This attack was obviously just to encircle the point and attack the reinforcements.

As the real and fake "momentum" was activated, his [Fist King Temple Hundred Rift Fist] that was heading straight for Brand with astonishing power was instantly retracted as if nothing had happened.

Zhu Tian then quickly gathered his strength and swung out an extremely powerful punch, heading straight for Fang Yi who came to support and seemed defenseless under the influence of his "momentum".

He looked at Fang Yi who was speeding towards Brand, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

“Unfortunately, my strategy is to kill the weak first and reduce the number of the enemy team.

"Goodbye, enemy whose name I don't know."
-
Fang Yi answered him with a hoarse and calm voice beneath his mask, "Really? But your fist energy seems a little weak."

Fang Yi swung out [California Clear Light] with murderous energy in his hand, activated [Practicing Armor into the Body], and also used [Momentum·Tenacity] instantly.

Under the ability to resist 'momentum' brought by [Haunted by Evil Spirits] and the skill scroll of the 'Collector's Edition' obtained previously.

Fang Yi's slightly accomplished "momentum" barely managed to stay under Zhu Tian's "momentum" for a while longer, gaining some more time to move.

Therefore, he had enough time to deal with the opponent's punch.

After unlocking the spiritual attributes, his control over energy became more and more proficient.

Therefore, Fang Yi suddenly had an idea and triggered the evil spirit stored in [California Clear Light] which could only be used when hitting the enemy's body. He activated the [Invasion] special effect on the equipment and began to invade and control Zhu Tian's fist power.

Just like when he was fishing and caught a fish so big that it bent his fishing rod, Fang Yi swung the [California Clear Light] in his hand with all his strength, and returned the opponent's fist force intact like the movement of time, aiming directly at Cosmia.

Looking at Fang Yi's actions and the punch from Zhu Tian that was counterattacked, Cosmia, who was holding [Earth Tremor·Heavy Pressure], was full of disbelief.

Driven by the most primitive emotion called fear, she lost the will to resist for a moment.

She muttered to herself.

“This technique is unheard of!
“Even Lord Zhu Tian wouldn’t do this.

"Why would I fight a monster like this?"

Seeing her teammates' morale dropping and trying to give up the fight, Niu, who had been watching from the sidelines, played the [Military Music Dream·Scream] at the right time.

Try to boost the spirits of your teammates and get them motivated.

However, the only response he got was a shot from Brand, who had the opportunity to strike with the half-broken long stick in his hand.

Looking at the team members who were almost wiped out, and the "force" in front of him that seemed somewhat familiar.

Zhu Tian took a deep breath and activated his [Flesh Control] ability, a skill only available to the Four Rakshasa Ghosts. His level of 'momentum' couldn't affect the energies, so he could only resist it with his body. Fortunately, he had great confidence in his body.

Zhu Tian decided to use some of his true skills to turn the situation around, and at the same time, he took off the mask of the "Death in the Mist" to get a glimpse of his true face.

After the other party used his "momentum", a guess that he didn't want to confirm suddenly arose in his mind.
-
As his superpowers were activated, his muscles suddenly tensed up, and his entire body seemed to be wearing a layer of armor, or as if three layers of flesh and blood shells were instantly built on his body surface.

After completing the physical strengthening, he instantly activated [Body Control].

Under the amplification of "momentum", this time [Body Control] was activated extremely quickly. He stretched out his right arm, and the arm immediately extended to block in front of Niu, blocking Brand's gun energy for her.

Then his left arm grew longer and turned into a spiral of paper tape that danced, rotating clockwise with his fist, blocking Fang Yi's returning fist force.

After doing all this and breaking the enemy's tactics, Zhu Tian's "momentum" that was both real and virtual expanded again, instantly crushing the "momentum" of Brand and Fang Yi.

Zhu Tian, who observed that the enemy had been slaughtered, spoke to Cosmia in a low voice.

"Use your Imperial Tool to attack the man who spreads fear and kill him. The enemy is now immobilized by my power.

“Although I don’t have the other person’s skill of returning the energy as fast as the stars shift, I can do more.

"I have returned fear to you intact.

"I am the winner of this battle, but you also have a share. I allow you to share my victory."

After breaking the enemy's offensive, reversing the situation, and making a promise, Zhu Tian's "momentum" once again grew wildly like weeds, completely overwhelming everyone on the field and becoming the sole dominant force.

Under the pressure of such overwhelming force, Fang Yi and Brand's efforts to resist Zhu Tian's force were completely crushed and disappeared.

Both of them were unable to move due to the suppression of Zhu Tian's momentum. It was impossible for them to break the opponent's methods and moves to weaken the opponent's momentum and recover.

After watching Cosmia get rid of her fear and muster up the courage to launch an attack on Fang Yi that could take the enemy's life.

Zhu Tian glanced at Brand not far away, showed a disdainful smile, and swung a punch nonchalantly.

After confirming that this punch could kill the unsuspecting enemy, Zhu Tian took a leisurely attitude and walked towards Fang Yi along the road of ruins brought about by the sound waves emitted by Cosmia.

In half a second, the other person will die, and then he will be able to take off the other person's mask and see his true face.

As he walked, he declared victory to the enemies and teammates on the field.

“This battle is over now.

"The loser should be eliminated!"

Zhu Tian stared at Fang Yi who was about to be swallowed by the sound waves, and prepared to look for the answer to the question that had just arisen in his mind on this corpse.

He was very curious about the identity of this enemy.
-
But the next moment, the sound waves emitted by Cosmia destroyed Fang Yi's body and organs, and also caused the "witch" to scream.

Zhu Tian turned his head to look at his teammates, only to find that the injuries suffered by Fang Yi were exactly the same on Cosmia.

As if cursed, the body of the 'witch' Cosmia instantly shattered, and her organs instantly turned into pieces.

In just a quarter of a second, the beautiful 'witch' had turned into a corpse that was gradually losing its temperature.

As for Zhu Tian, he could only watch helplessly as his promise to "return fear and share victory" turned into nothing.

At the same time, after Fang Yi made him break his promise in person and broke the enemy's offensive.

The new "momentum" in his body that could destroy everything and look down on the world also grew wildly like weeds, gradually catching up with Zhu Tian's "momentum" and competing with him.

"How dare you!"

Before Zhu Tian finished speaking angrily, as the [Reversal Spell·Strengthening] was activated, the positive energy stored in the [Extra Mana Source] flowed out, and Fang Yi's injuries recovered as if time had gone back.

Looking at the quickly recovering enemy, the uneasiness rooted in Zhu Tian's heart instantly multiplied and expanded, and then turned into a huge rock pressing on his heart, making his mood unstable.

[The enemy actually possesses two 'forces', and even retains the ability to instantly recover, a terrifying method he hasn't used.]

[But I've already played all my cards. Can I still win this battle?]

As Zhu Tian's will wavered, the "momentum" in him, which was a mixture of real and fake and had the quality of "familiarity", also weakened.

In contrast, Fang Yi rediscovered the feeling of being in control from past battles.

The momentum that was rising from his body and could destroy everything and look down upon the world began to expand again.

As one grew stronger, the other weakened. His "momentum" changed from being on equal footing with Zhu Tian's "momentum", and he took this opportunity to suppress Zhu Tian's "momentum" in an instant.

At this point, he had regained the initiative in the battle.

After removing the "momentum" that Zhu Tian was proud of, Fang Yi felt that the next step would be a boxing showdown.

At the moment when [Preemptive Strike] was triggered, Fang Yi had already found several ways to defeat Zhu Tian, and chose the most difficult one, which would give him the greatest improvement in strength.

He wanted to use the 'inspiration' he got in that second to create an unnamed boxing style by combining the two skills of [White Eyebrow Fist] and [Fist King Temple Hundred Rift Fist], and have a boxing showdown with Zhu Tianlai.

With Zhu Tian as his whetstone, this new boxing style will continue to be honed and perfected.

[Let me see your boxing skills, which you have practiced for decades.]

Fang Yi shook the fox mask on his face that had been broken into pieces by the enemy's attack, retracted [California Clear Light], and started his boxing moves towards Zhu Tian.

*
Brand, who had regained his mobility due to Fang Yi's "momentum", was able to harden his muscles in time and withstand Zhu Tian's punch at the cost of losing his combat ability in this battle.

Of course, Brand did not forget to swing the half-broken long stick in his hand one more time before losing his ability to fight.

The final burst of energy he released killed Niu, the [Imperial Weapon User] who was unable to move due to the fight between gods, ensuring that the enemy could not pass on the message in time.
-
The fox mask on Fang Yi's face was broken into pieces by the enemy's attack. As his head shook, it fell off, but it did not reveal his true face as Zhu Tian wished. Instead, a new fox mask was revealed.

After he made the starting stance of his boxing, he spoke slowly to Zhu Tian, who was a little uneasy in front of him.

“You seem to be very concerned about my appearance, but I’m not going to show my real face to anyone.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but underneath the mask is still a mask.

"You should be very familiar with the secret technique just now, Zhu Tian."

Zhu Tian stared at Fang Yi wearing a mask and said the name of the secret technique with gritted teeth.

"[Eye for an Eye], the secret technique of the [Tomb Guardians]!

"Since you have such a powerful 'momentum', why didn't you use it from the beginning?"

What answered him was a fist that approached his body in the blink of an eye. It was a fist that he was very familiar with, but with some changes.

There was a hint of disbelief in Zhu Tian's eyes, and he could no longer suppress the shock in his heart.

While he used the [Fist King Temple Hundred Rift Fist] to deal with Fang Yi's attack, he couldn't help but shout out the questions in his heart.

"【Fist King Temple Hundred Splitting Fist】!
"Who are you, who possesses this kind of boxing skills that have reached the pinnacle?

“There are only a handful of people who have reached this level in [King of Fighters Temple], but I don’t have the slightest impression of you!

"Are you a human, or a resurrected spirit from the dead underground?"

Fang Yi answered him with calm words.

"This isn't entirely the [Fist King Temple Hundred Splitting Fist], this is a unique boxing style I created by inheriting its characteristics.

"It doesn't have a name yet, so I can't tell you."

Fang Yi forced Zhu Tian back with two punches and began to "solve doubts" for the enemy.

“Thank you for your commitment to your teammates and for pushing me to the limit.

"I successfully used mystical magic to undermine your promise, thereby weakening your 'momentum'. I was able to briefly recover and thus had a chance to maneuver.

"In this fleeting moment of opportunity, I once again triggered my cheating skills, finding several ways to win among the millions of possibilities.

"I rediscovered the feeling of calmly breaking through the enemy's moves and achieving victory. I also found my 'momentum' and perfected my boxing technique in a second."

As soon as Fang Yi finished speaking, Zhu Tian started throwing punches like a madman and uttering words of disbelief.

"Perform this punch in one second? Regain momentum?
“You’re lying!
"If I can master this kind of boxing in just one second, what is the point of all my efforts over the past few decades?
"If such a powerful 'force' could just appear, what would all my efforts over the past few years mean?"

By exchanging punches with Fang Yi, he successfully created some distance between them. Suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhu Tian took a deep breath, and his muscles expanded again like armor.

He is going to use the supernatural power brought by [Body Manipulation] again.

"If we keep fighting, I'll definitely lose as I'm losing confidence. It's better to decide the outcome with one punch now."

[I don't believe that someone can surpass my decades of hard practice in just one second.]

[I must win, even if I burn myself out, I must win! Win this boxing duel!]

Zhu Tian grabbed the ground with both hands, bent his knees, and put one foot on the ground, making the posture of a sprinter preparing to start.

His muscles were trembling with fear because of Fang Yi's previous behavior, and he was screaming, but he didn't care.

Zhu Tian looked at Fang Yi with a firm expression, and then said his last words in the world in a hoarse voice.

“For this attack, I don’t use ‘momentum’.

"But this strike will determine both victory and death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his legs suddenly exerted force, his body shot out instantly, and the shackles that protected his body were also untied.

His body and left fist were rushing towards Fang Yi at an unprecedented speed.

At that moment, Zhu Tian felt that all the muscles in his body were burning, and he seemed to have turned into a fleeting meteor.

He also knew that he would die of exhaustion after throwing the next punch.

But he didn't care. He was willing to sacrifice his life to defeat Fang Yi in boxing. This was his dignity and the result of his efforts over the past few decades.

Fang Yi looked at Zhu Tian, without any "momentum" emerging from his body, nor did he use the "Black Flash" that would definitely win the fight, but instead he threw a calm punch.

Just like the White Eyebrow Fist he had practiced for the past ten years, it was boring and unremarkable, but it carried with it his belief that he would win.
-
Half a second later, the fists carrying the two men's beliefs collided in front of Fang Yi, causing a sound wave and ripples in the air, and then there was no sound, as if it was just a simple fist fight.

However, in just a moment, under the influence of the force and power of the fist, the bricks and stones around the two men's feet were instantly shattered into powder as if they were trampled by a giant beast, and the entire garden began to tremble.

In less than a second, the brick and stone ground, the expensive fountain beside Fang Yi, and the entire garden were reduced to ruins by the two men's fist fight.

Fang Yi took a half step back, looked at the enemy who had died after the fist fight in front of him, and conveyed the result of this fight to him.

"This fight can be considered a draw, or you can say that you won a small victory over my normal self at the cost of your life.

“In a few minutes, I will become familiar with the boxing style and I will not lose in this fight.

"I won't make excuses. The fact is, my one second of 'effort' is indeed not as good as your decades of hard work.

"But I survived and won the battle as I wished."

He looked at the assassin lady and the robber walking towards him, as well as Brand who was barely standing up not far away.

Looking at Lan, who had killed the two modified humans "Ear" and "Nose" to show his willingness to surrender, and Lubbock beside him, Fang Yi added another sentence.

"My teammates who came down with me didn't die either, so that's the 'victory' I was looking forward to.

"You are a good warrior, and I admire you very much. But because of our positions and identities, we are destined to be enemies, and therefore you must lose.

“I promised my teammates to win, and I did.

"So, the winner of this battle is me and my teammates."

As Fang Yi turned and left, Zhu Tian's body fell down.

However, there was no more fear on the warrior's face, but a satisfied smile appeared.

He did win the boxing match as he wished, maintaining his dignity and efforts.

But he did lose his life and died at Fang Yi's hands.

At this moment, there are still thirty-three minutes before the heavy rain falls.

Zhu Tian, one of the four Rakshasa ghosts, died.

[Dr. Fashion]'s cyborgs, 'Ears' and 'Nose' died.

【Imperial Weapon User】, Cosmia, Niu died.

[Imperial Envoy], Lan has been instigated to rebel.

Before the torrential rain poured down, the fatal battle had already been decided as everyone wished.
