"Be devoured by your 'Tiger Bite'? Just like what happened just now?"

Makoto Haramura is indeed very strong now, but he still hasn't reached the point where he can ignore opponents of the same level.

Moreover, it has been said countless times.

In battles between Blade Arts Users, the degree to which their abilities counteract each other is often the deciding factor.

Needless to say, Makoto Haramura's own ability is...

The key point is Yuta Morohoshi's ability, which is like a natural counter for Blade Arts Users.

—『Tiger Bite』!

It can shatter (nullify) all Blade Arts User's Blade Arts Techniques, and even eliminate the enemy's unique Armed Device.

In fact, what he just shot out was never an ordinary bullet.

It was a bullet containing the power of space, capable of distorting space. He wanted to catch Yuta Morohoshi off guard, but he didn't expect this guy to be so cautious.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Three consecutive shots of the same bullet.

“Clang, clang, clang—”

Yuta Morohoshi directly swung his gun, and even though he only thrust forward once, there were three collision sounds in the air.

Guns are different from other weapons.

Swords or sabers can block two or three attacks at the same time by changing the angle of the blade.

But guns are obviously different.

Yuta Morohoshi can only use the Tiger Bite technique with the tip of his gun.

In other words, other gun techniques cannot block Makoto Haramura's space distortion; he can only use the most important thrust of his weapon.

This also represents one thing.

Yuta Morohoshi thrust three times in that instant.

“—『Triple Star』!”

“How is it? As a return gift to you, this move should be enough, right?”

Makoto Haramura's vision blurred.

—『Triple Star』!

It is a gun technique that Yuta Morohoshi has researched to the extreme. Observing the movement from the side, it really only looks like one thrust, but in reality, it pierces three places simultaneously, and even the advance and retreat of the gun have almost no gaps. It can be called the fastest attack pattern.

“Indeed.”

Makoto Haramura lowered the arm holding his gun, not running, not jumping, just walking slowly towards Yuta Morohoshi as if he were taking a stroll, without any killing intent.

“However, aren’t you a bit arrogant?”

“To think that 'Triple Star' is enough as a return gift, rather than 'Broom Star'?”

To the shock of the entire audience, Makoto Haramura stopped one and a half meters in front of Morohoshi.

This is still a long distance for a sword, but within the range where a gun can easily attack the enemy.

This is truly something that shocked everyone.

What is the best way to deal with Yuta Morohoshi?

It is definitely kiting from a distance, after all, distance control is what he is best at.

You should know that last year, he never allowed Touka Toudou to rush into an effective attack range even once.

But now!

Makoto Haramura took the initiative to give up the advantage of his Armed Device and walked in front of Yuta Morohoshi to compete in close combat.

“Now, I’ll give you a chance to display your true strength, let me see it.”

“As a return gift, I will also let you see my 'Crane Combination'.”

He re-established his stance.

Makoto Haramura raised his eyebrows, signaling that Yuta Morohoshi could attack.

“Is that so? Then I won’t be polite.”

He felt like he was being looked down upon, but Yuta Morohoshi didn't feel angry; instead, the hairs on his body stood on end.

The『Triple Star』combo attack was completely undetectable to the naked eye.

One becomes three, two becomes six, three becomes nine, four becomes twelve.

Even though it was a gun strike made with the hand, it was like a rain of death falling from the sky, and its density was almost the same as the hail of bullets sprayed by a Gatling gun.

“—『Time Refusal』!”

“—『Five Times Speed』!”

The moment the pale yellow clock phantom appeared in Makoto Haramura's eye sockets, Makoto Haramura's figure moved.

Faced with this dense attack that could almost cause trypophobia.

Makoto Haramura didn't retreat or dodge, but instead moved horizontally, dancing like, stepping, alternating left and right, and would be stabbed if he missed even a little.

It felt like dancing on swords.

Morohoshi continued to attack, but Haramura did not counterattack, only dodging, maintaining this offensive and defensive battle pattern, which has lasted for about ten seconds.

“Clang—”

The first collision finally began. Makoto Haramura's right arm suddenly raised, and his right hand holding the sword was raised upward, directly blocking the spear that was stabbing at his shoulder.

“—『Ten Times Speed』!”

The movement that was already like an afterimage completely disappeared from Yuta Morohoshi's eyes.

It seemed that only a series of sparks rubbed from the barrel of the gun were scattered in the air.

Yuta Morohoshi's pupils suddenly widened, and without even thinking, he released one hand holding the gun and swung his well-trained arm, hitting the empty space in front of him.

“—『Blue Sea Wave』!”

A blue flame suddenly bloomed on the position of Yuta Morohoshi's left shoulder.

Then came the terrifying sound of wind pressure.

“Bang, bang—”

“……”

“So amazing, really amazing.”

Not only was the audience seat like this, but even in the commentary booth, the female commentator kept praising.

“It is indeed very amazing.”

The old commentator's voice also rang out.

“He almost completely suppressed the Naniwa Star in close combat.”

“The attacks are continuous, not giving anyone any chance to breathe, and the time freeze is also very clever.”

“At first, I also thought his actions were a sign of confidence, but now it seems that it is more than that.”

“Eh?”

“Isn’t it?”

A surprised voice rang out from the young female commentator.

To be honest, he took the initiative to walk into Yuta Morohoshi's attack range, and the posture he took was also loose. No matter how you look at it, Makoto Haramura was looking down on Yuta Morohoshi from a high place.

Not only did she think so, but even the other viewers thought so.

But now, the one who raised the question was Mr. Kaieda, a very experienced and veteran Blade Arts User.

“It’s actually a seemingly provocative, but actually inevitable move, right.”

“Everyone thinks that choosing to use long-range attacks with time freeze is a better attack method.”

“In fact, the long-range attack speed of time freeze is considered very fast, but it is still within the reaction range of Naniwa Star.”

“And for long-range attacks that Naniwa Star can react to, under the Blade Arts Technique 'Tiger Bite', it is nothing.”

“Of course, if they continue to fight like this, the time freeze, which has the upper hand in magic power, will probably win in a war of attrition.”

“But the time freeze may not like this way of winning, so he chose to directly approach Naniwa Star.”

“In Naniwa Star’s most skilled attack range, he engaged in close combat, allowing him to use his gun skills.”

“Then, he used his Blade Arts ability to enhance himself, allowing Naniwa Star to get used to his current speed, and finally instantly increased his speed to the limit, causing Naniwa Star to have a visual difference, so that Naniwa Star could not catch the time freeze, at least in that instant.”

“In this way, the time freeze rushed into his best attack range.”

“In this way, the situation has become the opposite, and it is Naniwa Star’s turn to fall into a difficult situation.”

The analysis was detailed to the movements, and then combined with the current situation on the field.

No one questioned Kaieda's analysis.

Compared to a sword, a spear is slightly bulky. Every move of a spear is wide open, which means that no matter how fast a spear moves, it cannot be faster than a person wielding a sword, given that the physical fitness of both people is the same.

What's more, Makoto Haramura's physical fitness is much better than Yuta Morohoshi's.

“Then, doesn’t that mean that Naniwa Star is already destined to lose?”

The thing that the Japanese like the most is the so-called underdog victory.

Perhaps the surface strength and the current performance are all stronger for Makoto Haramura, but the crown of 『Seven Star Sword King』is still worn by Yuta Morohoshi, so he is on the upper side.

Makoto Haramura's performance now is an underdog victory, making this commentator sister very excited.

“No, didn’t I say it before!”

“The current battle is still at a 50-50 chance, even if this is the case, I still insist on my opinion.”

Kaieda's voice lowered as he spoke.

“You must know that this guy is a man with an extraordinary will.”

Chapter 117 Unexpected Visitor 1

Many people only know that Yuta Morohoshi is a genius and enjoys the reputation of being the best in Kansai.

But few people know that when Yuta Morohoshi was a child, in order to protect his younger sister, both of his legs were amputated below the knees, and even the regeneration pod could not heal such injuries. There was no possibility of him standing up for the rest of his life.

But this was not without hope. The strongest doctor at the time, Kiriko Yakushi, who possessed the strongest healing ability, proposed a research project called 'Using whole-body cells to repair incomplete parts'.

Specifically, this research involved stimulating the body's cells to divide rapidly, and then using the excess cells to recombine the incomplete body parts.

Kiriko Yakushi's intention was to allow all disabled people around the world to have a healthy body.

The experiment was fine, the operation was fine, but Kiriko Yakushi eventually gave up.

It was simply because stimulating the rapid division of cells throughout the body and transferring cells had very large side effects. During the surgery, the muscles would atrophy to a fatal extent, and the bones would become so osteoporotic that they could break at any time.

In order to ensure the activation of cells, even when one was skin and bones, one had to undergo extremely high-intensity physical training.

In short, it was to destroy one's body thousands of times and then recombine it.

This was inhuman torture.

“I also participated in that experiment at the time, wanting to revive my severed arm, but I only lasted for seven days before I couldn’t bear it anymore.”

The battle on the stage was still continuing, and Kaieda's voice was still constantly coming from the phone.

But at this moment, the audience seemed to be more concerned about this little-known matter than the fierce battle on the field.

The old senior who had experienced countless battlefields could not even last for seven days.

This was an old senior who had fought on the battlefield, leaving countless scars on his body, without ever frowning.

Such a person could not bear such pain.

“Yes, I couldn’t bear it, but Naniwa Star, in order not to make his younger sister feel guilty, could endure that pain that felt like it was eating his bones and burning his heart, and re-materialize his legs.”

“A person who can have such a strong will will not give up easily.”
