Boom! Hong Hong!! Hong Hong Hong!!!
On one side of the battlefield, the massive Nine-Tailed Fox continued to shoot out Bijūdama energy orbs, while Sairaorg kept running and dodging. He had carelessly defended against the opponent’s attack a moment ago and even with the protection of his aura, Sairaorg felt a tearing pain throughout his body.
Although this was just a Demonic Beast created by Kamiya Tenraku, it was still incredibly dangerous! Closing in, closer, even closer— the opponent had entered his attack range. Sairaorg suddenly accelerated, and with a sharp sonic boom, his fist struck the Nine-Tailed Fox.
“Hǒǒǒuuu!!!”
The fox let out a pained howl, its body expanding, and then—
Boom Long!!!
The massive Nine-Tailed Fox exploded, its powerful shockwave crashing into Sairaorg. He let out a muffled groan as his body left marks on the ground, stopping after skidding several hundred meters. Blood also trickled from the corner of his mouth, but ignoring his injuries, Sairaorg leaped up and rushed toward another part of the battlefield.
However—
“Well, Sairaorg, you’ve finally arrived.”
Seated atop the Golden Lion, Tenraku waved cheerfully at Sairaorg.
Without mentioning Tenraku, just looking at Regulus, who was lying on the ground in agonizing wails, Sairaorg’s eye twitched with anger. How terrifying a torment had poor Regulus gone through?!
However, Sairaorg naturally understood the reason behind it. Letting out a sigh, he said:
“I apologize, Kamiya Tenraku. About your Peerage, Regulus often can’t control its power. That’s why I rarely use it.”
“Well, well, don’t worry about it. It bullied my beloved Peerage members, and I bullied it back thoroughly. We’re even now.”
Having vented his violence with satisfaction, Tenraku didn’t intend to dwell on it. He jumped down and kicked the lion to Sairaorg’s side.
“Wū wū…”
Having just experienced a nightmare of a lifetime, seeing his owner moved Regulus to tears. With a powerful nudge, Regulus rubbed against Sairaorg, almost knocking him over.
After assessing Regulus’ injuries, Sairaorg’s tension slightly eased. Regulus was an incarnation of the Longinus. As long as the jade jewel on its forehead, and the core of its Sacred Gear hadn’t been destroyed, its injuries would soon heal.
“Sairaorg-Sama, please wrap me around you. To defeat that man, we must unleash the power of the Forbidden Move!”
Having somewhat recovered, Regulus struggled to stand up. It had deeply understood Kamiya Tenraku’s strength, and it could even sense three other beings within him that were no weaker than itself. To defeat that monster, they needed to combine their powers.
“Stop!”
“That dangerous power can only be used when the safety of the Underworld is at stake. How can we use it against Kamiya Tenraku? I will fight him with my own body and my own strength!”
Sairaorg’s expression changed when he heard this and he refused without hesitation. That power was far too dangerous; even he hadn’t completely mastered it. If he accidentally killed Kamiya Tenraku, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Regulus hadn’t said anything, but Tenraku, on the other hand, was not pleased: “Hey, hey, Sairaorg, are you underestimating me? You don’t really think you can defeat me barehanded, do you?”
“If the lion’s power is dangerous, then the power I possess within me is ten times more dangerous— Hundred-Times! Don’t forget our agreement. If you don’t fight me with everything you have, you’ll regret it, and I’ll find it extremely boring on my end!”
“Sairaorg, do you understand?!”
Tenraku spoke in a low voice with an extremely serious expression on his face.
What he wanted was a genuine, intense battle with Sairaorg, not a game of make-believe!
Gazing at Tenraku in a daze, Sairaorg initially looked guilty, but soon, he became resolute, as if he had made a decision—
“I apologize, Kamiya Tenraku. Although I had already decided to give it my all in a battle with you, there’s still a lingering awareness in my mind that this is just a shallow competition.”
“If I were to duel you without letting go of these thoughts, it would be an insult to you. I would live my life regretting it.”
“From this moment on, I won’t hold onto those naive and foolish notions. I will face you with the determination to kill, fighting you to the death!”
“Kamiya Tenraku, my dear friend, today, no matter which one of us gets killed by the other, let’s not blame each other!”
Hearing Sairaorg’s resolute declaration, everyone couldn’t help but feel a tremor in their hearts. This was no longer a simple contest; it had transformed into a battle of life and death!
Outside the alternate dimension, the entire arena erupted into thunderous cheers. Tenraku’s face finally broke into an excited and satisfied smile:
“Ah, that’s how it should be. Even if we die, let’s not blame each other!”
Tenraku wasn’t a bloodthirsty warrior, but he certainly relished a fight. To battle and struggle against a recognized opponent was a true delight in life!
“Regulus, let’s use our Forbidden Move!”
“Yes!”
Sairaorg shouted toward Regulus, and the giant lion responded with a fervent expression. It transformed into a golden stream of light that rushed into Sairaorg’s body.
“Grand Lion of Gold, King of Narmer! You, who are known as the Lion King, answer my call and manifest as armor!”
Dazzling light emanated from Sairaorg’s body, and a golden suit of armor materialized on him. A lion-like face adorned the chest plate, and the golden mane flowed and swayed behind the helmet. He looked majestic and powerful, exuding a sense of strength and beauty!
“Kamiya Tenraku, this is our Forbidden Move— Iron Skin of the Lion King – Regulus Rey Leather Rex!”
Battle Energy crazily erupted from Sairaorg’s body, causing the earth to crack, winds to howl, and even the entire alternate dimension emitted a shrill wailing sound as it struggled to contain his power!
“Hey, Sairaorg, your mother, Misla-Sama, is probably watching the match now, right?”
Suppressing his boundless excitement, Tenraku inquired.
“Yes, Okaa-Sama said she would watch my match from the hospital.”
Not sure why Tenraku suddenly asked this, Sairaorg answered truthfully.
“I see…”
Muttering to himself, Tenraku’s facial armor dissolved, revealing a radiant smile directed toward the sky:
“Madam, I’m going to give Sairaorg a good beating now. Please don’t blame me!”
“Damn, using such a shameless tactic!”
“I won’t let myself lose face in front of Okaa-Sama. Kamiya Tenraku, I will definitely defeat you!”
“HāHāHā… Let’s see who will defeat whom!”
Laughing heartily, Tenraku closed his facial armor, emanating an aura that soared to the heavens.
For various reasons, be it a sinister sense of pleasure or a narrow mind, Tenraku was immensely envious of Sairaorg. Thus, he had made up his mind to give him a thorough beating in front of his Okaa-Sama!
Meanwhile, in a certain hospital room in the Sitri territory—
“Madam, although His Highness Tenraku is very powerful, Young Master Sairaorg has also grown stronger. He won’t lose, for sure.”
Afraid that Madam might be worried about Young Master Sairaorg, the steward quickly offered reassurance.
However—
“Hehehe… I’m actually looking forward to seeing if that boy can pull it off. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Sairaorg being bullied; I do miss those times…”
Gently brushing her lips, Madam Misla’s complexion had improved significantly as she watched the live broadcast.
The steward beside her couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, thinking, “Madam, madam, Young Master Sairaorg is your son. Are you perhaps mistaken about something?”
Unaware of the complex emotions the steward was experiencing, Madam Misla continued to watch the screen without blinking, her eyes shimmering with contentment and warmth—
This is wonderful. Sairaorg also has such friends…
