Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

"Bang!"

The hand blade clashed violently with the scales, producing a piercing metallic clang, sending fragments of stone and ore flying everywhere.

The water dragon cried out in pain, letting out a piercing roar that echoed through the valley. Its massive body convulsed violently, and its entire tail slammed uncontrollably into the ground, carving a furrow several meters deep into the ridge of the field, sending mud and gravel flying into the air.

Before Shuilong could turn around and retaliate, Xinshui Hina continued her rapid advance with nimble steps, unleashing a barrage of attacks—fists, palms, elbows, legs, knees—like a storm.

She lunged forward, delivering a short, sharp jab with her left hand to the side of the water dragon's neck, shattering the scales at the point of impact.

This is not brute force, but the most essential explosive technique in boxing.

As soon as the water dragon's body was knocked askew, her right knee came crashing down, a Muay Thai-style neck-clutch knee strike. The knee dug deep into the soft scales of the water dragon's lower jaw, causing the huge snake head to jerk back, and murky snake blood spurted from the corner of its mouth.

The water dragon, in pain, instinctively shook its head, trying to bite.

Instead of retreating, Hinako advanced, slipping like a slippery eel into the water dragon's blind spot below its neck. Her close-quarters grappling skills allowed her to conform to the water dragon's rough scales like water, each twist perfectly avoiding the tearing of its fangs.

The water dragon's serpentine tail swept across from the side, carrying the power to crush everything in its path.

However, it was as if Hinako Fukami had eyes in the back of her head. Using her left foot as a pivot, she twisted her waist and hips, spinning like a top to dodge the attack. This was not an ordinary dodge, but rather the "Hawk somersault" technique from Bajiquan.

The seemingly simple turn actually concentrates the entire body weight on one foot, avoiding the largest possible attack range with minimal displacement.

The snake's tail grazed her back, the force of which tore off a piece of paint, but it didn't hurt her in the slightest.

Before the snake's tail could retract, Hinako Fukasui pounced. Her hands, like water, wrapped around the gaps in the scales at the end of the snake's tail, her ten fingers like hooks, gripping the edges of the scales. With a sudden twist of her waist, she managed to turn the snake's tail, which was thicker than her waist, at an angle.

This is a wrist lock in judo, except instead of locking the arm, it locks the joint of the snake's tail. The dragon cried out in pain, its entire tail twitching violently, but it couldn't break free from those iron-like grips.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain were dumbfounded.

"W-what kind of fighting style is that? Doesn't Ultraman only know how to punch and kick?"

"Cosmic fist techniques? Ultra Fist, Ultra Kick? No, is this correct?"

"That move...it looked like boxing?"

"Huh? Isn't it karate?"

"It looks like the Natural Rishin-ryu style taught in the kendo club, but it's hundreds of times more refined than the club president's!"

……

Most of the villagers were bewildered, because the power that Hinako Fukami displayed at this moment was not the straightforward or even somewhat clumsy attack methods seen in TV dramas, but rather something that could be described as exquisite... no! It was martial arts that transcended human intelligence!

Ah, that's only natural. Hinako Fukami's fighting talent is already unparalleled. The person who is now one with Hinako Fukami has, in his century-long dream training, integrated dozens of fighting styles from the East and West, and honed a unique fighting system for the Giant of Light.

In Deepwater Hinako's understanding, it's just simple Ultraman punches, Ultraman kicks, and Ultraman palm strikes. In reality, every punch and kick incorporates the essence of various martial arts styles.

Hinako Fukami, with her innate combat talent, is bringing this system to its fullest potential.

The explosive power of boxing, the knees and elbows of Muay Thai, the close-quarters combat of Bajiquan, the grappling of Jiu-Jitsu, the leg techniques of French kickboxing, the lethal strikes of Israeli martial arts, the inch punch of Wing Chun, the ground locks of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the joint locks of Filipino short stick fighting, the use of leverage in Aikido, the grips of wrestling, the joint breaks of Russian Sambo, the breathing techniques of Koryo Jiu-Jitsu, the footwork of Tennen Rishin-ryu, the thrusting of Bajiquan spear, the slashing techniques of Yagyu Shinkage-ryu…

The essence of dozens of martial arts styles was transformed into a storm of attacks, pouring down on the massive body of the water dragon.

The water dragon was beaten so badly it swayed like a willow branch, almost powerless to fight back. The villagers, while surprised, also cheered for Ultraman.

"Good! Well done!"

"Ultraman Seven! Go for it!"

"Just keep hitting it! Kill it!"

"Seven! Seven! Seven!"

……

The villagers were excited, shouting in unison, their voices echoing through the valley as they cheered for the power of Ultraman Seven.

No one thought that Ultraman Seven would lose to Suiryu, who wasn't even a Yamata no Orochi, let alone Maga no Orochi.

However, Hinako Fukami couldn't feel happy at all when she heard the cheers.

Every punch, every kick, every elbow, every knee—she used all her strength. Those blows, powerful enough to pierce reinforced concrete, only managed to shatter a few scales and crack a muscle on this snake.

The water dragon's regenerative ability far exceeds her attack speed.

As soon as she smashed a scale and cracked a muscle, the mineral elements from the earth immediately merged into the water dragon's body, healing the damaged area.

Those seemingly fierce combos only made the water dragon shake its head and sway, and the actual damage they caused was negligible.

Hinako Fukami, who seemed to have the upper hand, is now in trouble.

Without sunlight to replenish her energy in the dead of night, Hinako's energy was already stretched thin, and she had to devote most of it to maintaining her Ultra Psychic power to suppress geological activity. The continuous battle caused her energy to be consumed faster and faster, and the beam lamp above her head began to flash with a bright green light.

Her punching speed visibly slowed down, and the Ultra Hand Blade, which could easily cleave through scales, now only left a shallow white mark on the water dragon.

The Water Dragon also keenly sensed its opponent's weakness. Its turbid eyes gleamed with ferocity as it suddenly turned around, opened its massive mouth filled with sharp fangs, and viciously bit at Hinako Akami!

A foul-smelling, poisonous wind rushed towards her, and the giant maw closed with lightning speed, giving her no room to dodge.

Hinako could only cross her arms to protect herself, enduring the immense force of the bite.

The bite force of ten thousand tons exploded instantly, her feet plowed two deep trenches in the ground, and in the blink of an eye, she retreated dozens of meters, with several holes bitten into her arms.

Enduring the excruciating pain, Hinako Fukami slammed her right foot into the soft flesh of Suiryu's jaw, using the force to break free from the bite.

However, the water dragon still refused to give up.

Now that Deepwater Hina has depleted too much energy and her strength has dropped significantly, Suiryu, on the other hand, is becoming stronger and stronger with her immortal body.

Seeing that Hinako was running out of steam, Suiryu pressed down on her.

The thick snake's body, like a compressed spring, suddenly shot out, coiling towards her with the force of an avalanche.
