Great, we're doomed now!

It took a step, and the water surged up to a height of several meters, but before it could land, the giant had already leaped over, his palm shining with brilliant light like a knife, and swung it in a large arc to smash it hard into Yanagaki's neck.

"drink!"

Using his palm as a short sword, Ye Shou struck the monster three times in quick succession, each strike hitting a different part of its body, in the brief moment the monster lost its balance.

Yanagaki was overwhelmed by the sudden fast attack. He had just regained his footing and was about to roar and show his strength when a heavy punch landed, choking the sound wave in his throat and turning it into a whimper like a puppy.

Bang!

"Roar... Awooo!"

Bang!

Bang!

The silver giant kept throwing punches, seemingly without needing to rest, and forcefully pressed the monster's massive body into the lake!

Charika stared in disbelief at the scene.

The reason why Yanagaki is called the "most ferocious monster" rather than the "strongest monster" is that it is born with an unusually aggressive nature, completely lacking the rationality and self-preservation instinct that normal living beings should possess. It will continue to attack until it completely tears the enemy apart, and is known for its cruelty and ferocity like a killing weapon.

But how come this giant is even crazier than Bianagaki!

The monster, which had just awakened, was not fully recovered and was then suppressed in the lake by a head-on attack. Its enormous size became an obstacle instead.

"That's so despicable!"

Chariga couldn't stand idly by, otherwise his newly acquired beloved monster would probably be doomed.

Raising his wand, the alien pointed at the two colossal figures locked in combat. Though only two meters tall, the energy he unleashed was comparable to a high-powered laser cannon.

call out!

The chaotic beam of light struck the giant's back, instantly causing Ye Shou to shudder.

The monster, which he had suppressed with his powerful attacks, keenly sensed this and immediately rose up to overturn him, causing a wave tens of meters high to explode in the center of the lake.

"Roar~!"

Yanagaki excitedly pushed the water over and fiercely pounced into the silver giant's arms, knocking him down with a powerful impact. He then lunged downwards, as if dropping a bomb, sending thousands of tons of lake water into the sky, like a torrential downpour.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

At this moment, Yanagaki truly revealed its true nature, unleashing a barrage of attacks—far faster, more ferocious, and with sharper claws—on Ye Shou with relentless force.

The giant was completely submerged in the lake, seemingly having lost his chance to fight and now only able to defend passively, unable to launch a counterattack.

Yanagaki was still not satisfied, raising his leg high, intending to unleash a devastating attack with his entire weight—

Snapped!

The water burst open, and Yanagaki was surprised to find that he seemed to have stepped on some hard stone, and he fell halfway down and could not go any further.

Then, it felt as if there was a volcano about to erupt under the rock, and a huge force surged back, flipping it over in one fell swoop!

Wow~~~

Countless streams of water flowed down from the vibrant red patterns, and a giant, seemingly born from the flames of a crimson lotus, rose anew.

Yanagaki charged forward like a fierce dog, grabbed Ye Shou's waist, and bit down—

Snapped!

A pair of powerful hands slowly separated the two rows of sharp teeth. The giant's wrist strength overwhelmed the monster's bite force, and it also lifted Yanagaki up. In the blink of an eye, it unleashed several heavy punches.

The monster suffered repeated blows to its chest and had to retreat in a sorry state. Even though it was extremely fierce, it was temporarily unable to muster any strength.

As soon as the giant steadied himself, he extended his right hand, and with the sound of springs moving, a wrist guard unfolded, revealing a magnificent golden blade.

"Ultra Ripple—"

Seizing the moment when Yanagaki was about to rise and revealed an opening, Ye Shou suddenly poured the light of the sun into it and unleashed a swift arc of sword light.

"Golden Cut!"

Sizzle!

"Awooo!!!"

Yanagaki's thick skin was cut open, and a hideous wound on his belly extended to his waist, with blood flowing down like a waterfall, instantly staining half of the lake red.

"Oh~ my Yanagaki!"

Charika became even more impatient and fired three magic bullets at Ye Shou in quick succession.

But this time he was prepared. He dodged the two magic bullets by sidestepping them, and held his longsword up to block them in front of him, watching as if in slow motion the chaotic energy was split in two.

The demon's sneak attack missed, and it was so frightened that it quickly dodged and moved away. Sure enough, the next moment the golden longsword had already slashed through the void where it was standing, almost splitting it in two.

"Damn giants! I always run into annoying guys no matter where I am... Don't even think about taking Yanagaki again!"

When the demon reappeared, he was already standing on the monster's shoulder. He looked at Ye Shou in his [Flame] state and at the fearsome golden sword, and couldn't help but feel a burning hatred.

Generally speaking, in battles fought on the surface of a planet at the same level, monsters have the advantage. This is because giants are usually mindful of causing excessive environmental damage, thus using their beams cautiously and subconsciously restraining their power, while monsters do not have these limitations.

In addition, the planet's atmosphere reduces the intensity of light, so the giants' endurance is not as good as it is in the space environment.

However, the giant in front of him was clearly not a novice, and as if he knew Yanagaki’s characteristic of becoming more ferocious as the battle progressed, he immediately used suppressive tactics, not giving Yanagaki time to “warm up”. Moreover, the battlefield was in the lake outside the town, which allowed him to fight freely.

Should we gamble on his endurance? This red status is clearly due to him using energy to strengthen his physique; if we can hold out until he runs out of energy, that would be great…

Charika glanced down at the wound on Anagakina's head, dismissing the strategy.

Titans skilled in weaponry are difficult to deal with, so don't take any chances.

"You'll regret this, unknown warrior of light!"

Charika raised his wand with both hands, and though reluctant, he hardened his heart and broke this very meaningful treasure with his knee—it was the one he had used since he joined the company.

"Your biggest failure is coming to Earth alone!"

If there were two of them, I might be a little scared. To think that one-man Yanagaki can defeat me is far too arrogant—Aaaaaaah!!

Charika let out an unintelligible roar, and thick, ink-like dark energy suddenly gushed from the broken part of his wand, wrapping around his body like a living thing.

Ye Shou's pupils contracted as he recalled some unpleasant memories, and he immediately fired a simple light blade in return.

Whoosh!

The sword missed its mark, and Charika's body dissipated on its own.

The surging darkness, carrying the core of the Cosmic Demon, crashed into Yanagaki below like a black meteor!

Dark energy instantly engulfed the monster's massive body, causing a black sphere to expand and twist. Electricity crackled across its surface, while inside, a sickeningly loud creaking sound emanated from dislocated bones and proliferating flesh.

In the blink of an eye, the dark sphere suddenly contracted, and the reappearing form of Yanagaki had changed drastically!

The hideous wound on its belly had vanished without a trace, and its tough outer skin was no longer visible. In its place was a layer of hardened armor covering its entire body, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen.

Sharp, protruding structures emerged from the joints, and the already sharp claws swelled up, extending into thick, long, spear-like sharp bone spurs.

Those beastly eyes turned completely crimson, and its mouth faintly emitted hot air, spewing out an aura of rage and destruction. Its overall aura was several times more ferocious than before!

"roar--!!"

The fused [Demon Yanagaki] let out a deafening roar, the sound waves ravaging the atmosphere and pressing a huge dent into the lake surface.

Ye Shou's eyes narrowed, and he gripped the golden holy sword in his hand. With a gentle swing, he broke through the wind pressure, and the water surface immediately filled back up, stirring up high waves again.

"Destroy, destroy—Yanagaki!"

The demon's voice came from inside the monster's belly, and Yanagaki became completely excited and launched the first attack.

Snapped!

Its massive body displayed an agility disproportionate to its size. It suddenly stomped forward on the water, and its armor-covered giant claws, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, slammed down towards Ye Shou's head!

Ye Shou neither dodged nor evaded. He channeled the power of his [Flame Form] into his arms, and raised the Golden Holy Sword from below to meet the terrifying claws!

Clang!

The blade clashed violently with the bone, producing a piercing metallic clang and a burst of dazzling sparks!

The compressed air suddenly exploded, causing the water beneath their feet to burst open, and they each slid back several steps.

Yanagaki paused slightly, then turned around and a thick tail, like a battering ram, swept across with a fierce wind!

Ye Shou immediately dodged, but after the monster spun around, its claws, which came with five "spears," slashed at him again.

Clang!

Another clash of raw power!

The shock wave spread in a ring, causing the entire lake surface to surge with waves.

In an instant, the center of the lake seemed to have transformed into an ancient gladiatorial arena, where two enormous figures, one in gold and one in black, engaged in a fierce and rapid battle!

The golden holy sword clashed repeatedly with the claws and bone spikes. Ye Shou dodged and weaved, occasionally managing to strike the hard armor, splitting the thick protection in two and leaving wounds that splattered blood, but he failed to damage the bones and tendons. Instead, he provoked the monster even more.

The sounds of collisions continued incessantly, and sparks exploded one after another like fireworks. Yanagaki, relying on his ferocious strength, hard armor, and sharp bone spikes, attacked back and forth without giving an inch!

In a pure hand-to-hand combat, he managed to fight Ye Shou to a standstill!

However, in the instant when the sword and claw clashed and their strength reached a stalemate—

On the center of Yanagaki's forehead, which was covered with veins, the skin twitched strangely before suddenly bulging out, forming a distorted, tormented face belonging to a demon.

"!" Ye Shou was startled and realized something was wrong, so he quickly stepped back.

But it was too late!

The face suddenly opened its mouth, and a dark, purplish-black ray shot out without warning, hitting Ye Shou's face almost instantly at that distance!

drink!"

Ye Shou felt a flash of dark light before his eyes, followed by a violent disorientation, as if countless sharp needles were piercing his brain, causing his sword-wielding movements to falter.

A restless energy emanated from a "singularity" somewhere within his body, connected to another dimension, instantly putting him on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

It was this momentary lapse in concentration that was precisely captured by Yanagaki's beastly instincts!

It let out a triumphant roar, and the claw that Ye Shou had been holding back suddenly pressed forward with force, while the other claw shot out with lightning speed. The thick, long, sharp bone spike, carrying a cold glint, slashed fiercely across Ye Shou's chest!

hum!

Chi!
