Chapter 239.1

Chapter 239.1. Invincible Foe

The fierce battle between Miu and the man continues.

Miu dashes through the vast cave, utilizing her agility to its fullest. She leaps atop falling debris from the crumbling ceiling during the combat, swiftly moving and unleashing martial techniques.

“Take this!”

Miu swings her arm downward, hurling a stone dislodged from the golem as a diversion with a speed too swift to be seen. Despite being a mere stone, it’s a throw from a level 97 Ninja, boasting tremendous power.

Breaking through the sound barrier, it generates a sonic boom, lands on the ground, and advances toward the man who stands there clenching his fist.

“Like I’d let that hit me!”

Just before impact, the man strikes with his fist at lightning speed, shattering the incoming stone. The magically-enhanced stone ricochets with a metallic sound, flying toward one of the massive rock columns supporting the cave, piercing it effortlessly.

Fine cracks race across the entire massive pillar, which then explodes from the impact, falling to the ground in fragments.

A single small stone has shattered the colossal column. This art possesses immense power.

With just his fist, the man easily deflects an attack with such potency.

The stones ricochet around, triggering a massive explosion that shakes the entire cave.

“Here I come!”

The man’s fist emits a magical light as he launches an attack. The strike shoots out like a beam, piercing through Miu’s body at the speed of light.

“Hmm, so fast!”

A hole appears where the strike penetrated, and Miu grimaces as she races through the air. The pain is bearable, but the inescapable speed is a nuisance.

“Take this, take this, take this!”

[Rainstorm Fist]

Grinning with apparent enjoyment, the man retracts both arms and springs forward, delivering a flurry of punches like a coiled spring.

He twists his hips and thrusts his supporting leg with the force of a boxer’s punch, continuously firing energy beams from the unceasing barrage of his fists, aiming for Miu.

“Dodging that technique would be a hassle.”

With a slight smirk, Miu tilts forward and activates a skill.

[Ground Shrink]

Accelerating dramatically, she employs three-dimensional movement using the flying debris as platforms.

With teleportation-like speed, Miu leaves an afterimage on the makeshift platforms, and the energy beams pierce only her afterimage, all attacks missing their mark.

“How far can you run?”

Staring at Miu as she moves at an incredibly hard-to-follow pace, the man lowers his fist and shifts his gaze, preparing for his next attack.

His serpentine body resembles a mass that could fill the cave writhes, flexing like a whip, attempting to knock Miu down.

[Tidal Pressure]

As if summoning a tsunami, the massive body of the serpent-like creature carves the obsidian ground, shatters pillars, and breaks the ceiling, approaching Miu with overwhelming force.

“Flat as a pancake? I’ll pass!”

Holding her hammer aloft, Miu rotates her body and counterattacks.

[Gravity Hammer]

Seemingly absurd in an attempt to block a tsunami with sheer force, her hammer of supergravity stops and repels the colossal body, preventing it from advancing.

“An opening!”

[Strom Pike]

“Insufficient strikes!”

Due to the use of the skill [Soul Awakening], Miu experiences a slight delay, allowing the man to rush at her like a wild boar.

His technique, a rapid thrust with an aura-covered fist spinning like a drill, makes contact with Miu’s body. Her body is gouged, blood flies, and her flesh is torn apart.

“How about this!”

“Not enough yet!”

In response to the man’s words, Miu retorts with a smile, bending the hand wielding the Sword of Radiant Brilliance.

Then, an infinite whip of radiant light flickers around, striking out toward the surroundings before connecting with the man’s body.

[Radiant Light Dragon Sword]

Regardless of her bloodied state, Miu dances twirls her body, and wields the whip of light with a smile. The radiant whip dances and slices through the man with an unending barrage of attacks.

The dance of light shines vividly within the dim cavern, both beautiful and cruel, attempting to transform its target into a mass of flesh using blades of light.

“Whoa!”

Even though he’s being cut, the man raises his voice in surprise. He deflects the Sword of Radiant Brilliance with his fist and repels the twisting blade with an elbow strike.

“What kind of hardness is this? No, is it durability?”

As his somewhat shredded body is healed by [Holy Heal], Miu becomes half-hearted and exasperated.

After all, it’s just a scratch. Even when he was covered in wounds, it was far from fatal.

“What kind of body does he have? It’s a technique that can cut through metal like nothing.”

“This flesh isn’t just flesh. It’s just a small part!”

“The massive body filling the cave is his true form?”

He revels in spoilers as he shoots toward me once more like a cannonball.

“Hmm…”

[Phantom Step II]

Assuming a forward stance, I execute a complex series of steps, creating afterimages.

“I’ll shatter everything!”

Twisting his mouth, the man casually throws punches, creating a raging storm, and pierces the afterimages with lightning speed.

“So sloppy!”

Retracting the Sword of Radiant Brilliance and transforming it into a straight blade, I deliver a diagonal strike toward the man.

The man also retracts his fist and drives it into the sword. The two collide with a clang, pushing against each other.

“Unyu-nyu.”

“For a chibi, you’ve got some power!”

They lock eyes, pouring their strength into their confrontation. The man confidently swells his arm, displaying even more brute force.

Miu stops exerting force, takes a step back, sidesteps, and moves around the man.

“Ungh!”

“Here it comes!”

Gracefully moving my body, I attack the man with a sword and a hammer.

“Not so fast!”

Balancing on his right foot, he forcibly rights himself, deflecting the sword with his fist and blocking the hammer with his knee.

Miu attacks with agility and techniques, while the man launches a relentless assault with endurance and brute strength.

Miu, fighting with an icy expression as if wrapped in a cold chill, contemplates the battle, a contrast to the man who bares his fangs in an eager combat enjoyment.

Even though he’s just a shadow, he must be a god. Likely a snake god. Probably of the same type as Nagaraja.
