Yuugo ran through the crimson light, and his body emerged clad in jet black armor.
He jumped straight at Trill, and punched the outer shell of the monster armor beast with his right fist in the form of a drill.
“Drill Arm!! Teyaah!!”
“Fufufu! How naive!”
Trill purposefully took the whining drill, and despite the drill of metallic particles hitting his body head on, it lost and was repelled.
“Tch! Seriously…!?”
“That’s it!? Then it’s my turn!”
Yuugo clicked his tongue as he saw that the drill arm that pulverized a bull golem did not work at all.
That reaction led Trill to laugh loudly, and he held up his straight word to attack.
“Nuum! Haaaa!!”
“Ho, ha!!”
A swing from above and a thrust. Yuugo rhythmically evaded the powerful sword attacks.
As he did it, he thought about his next move, but for now, he would watch his enemy’s movements.
(The hard shell is a threat, but his moves aren’t really. His swordsmanship is completely amateurish compared to Ryuuga.)
Trill’s power was no joke, and a direct hit would cause considerable damage. However, perhaps because of the weight behind that power, his moves were dull, and easy to see through and evade.
Yuugo thought he was happy he saw the moves of the strongest swordsman, which he could barely keep up with, and formulated his plan.
(It’s too early to bring out the flaming armor with the time limit. And rather than face him head on with the power type violet armor, I should probe for openings with the normal Blaster…)
The question was how he should break that tough shell.
He would have to break through Trill’s dear black luster armor if he wanted his attacks to deal damage, but if even the drill arm that was made to break through that sort of thing completely failed…
He had a few options against such an opponent, but he thought in order to stop his momentum, he had to break the shell where Trill placed all of his confidence. He worked out a plan, and bet on it.
“Ahh…!”
He exhaled, focused his spirit, and gathered magic energy in his left hand.
Trill caught on to the fact that Yuugo was about to do something, after he suddenly stopped, but he had full confidence in his shell’s defensive power, and swung his sword down.
“Got youuuu!!”
Yuugo did not panic even as the sword approached his head from above.
He thrust his left fist just before the sword hit his head, and hit Trill in the stomach with a punch with an added twist.
“Nuguh…!?”
Trill let out a groan as the strong impact hit him.
The heavy body covered in a shell armor lost to the impact of the thrust and slid as it was pushed back, but Trill retained his composure.
“Fufufu…! I figured you were coming up with something, but it’s no good. No matter what you do, you can’t break my shell!”
Even after loading it with magic energy to increase the power behind the thrust, it did not do much damage.
Trill laughed loudly at this failed attempt, but… Yuugo smiled under his helmet.
“I wonder. Look at your stomach.”
“What…? Wha…!?”
Trill looked where he was hit, and was shocked to see a big crack.
It was only a punch, so he wondered how it could damage his armor that was immune to even iron swords. But as he failed to understand it, Yuugo spoke.
“Do you know a technique called uraate? It sounds nuts, but you can inflict a double impact with one blow, allowing the impact to go deeper into the target’s body and spread strongly. It’s not something a guy like me with a bit of training should be able to do, but… If I work it out a little…”
It was straight out of some shonen manga. Hitting an opponent with a double impact in a second to pulverize it.
This technique that should be the result of a lot of training was accomplished when Yuugo made use of his magic energy.
He not only increased the power of his fist with magic energy, but also made it so immediately after the punch connected, a sort of false second blow manifested itself.
“U, oo, oo…!? M-my armor, my absolute defense…!?”
Seeing the armor he placed his full trust on broken was a big shock to Trill.
The physical damage was shallow, but the impact was strong enough to crush his spirit. And as Trill’s confidence faltered, Yuugo followed up with intense attacks.
“Uooooooo!!”
“Guh, nuuh!?”
Trill saw Yuugo’s right hand change into the shape of a drill, and held up his buckler to block it.
But Yuugo saw through it, and his drill was a feint so he could slide and kick away Trill’s knee joint.
“Agah!?”
Even if one’s body was covered in hard armor, suffering an attack to the join from the opposite direction of where it bent was a different kind of painful compared to regular attacks.
Trill suffered intense pain as though the bone was broken and stumbled back as he retreated, but Yuugo followed it up with a right handed drill punch to the crack in the armor.
“Gaaaaah!? Guaaaaaaah!!”
The drill showed its full power as its tip hit the crack. The rotation sent it deeper and deeper as it broke the monster armor beast’s armor, and once the big hole exposed what was under the armor, Trill screamed with intense pain.
“W-what…!? What are you? What could corner someone who evolved beyond a superior being…?”
“I’m not whatever you’re thinking. I’m not a superior being. If I had to say, I’m…”
Trill raised his head while pushing back the pain, and not a drop of his earlier confidence could be seen.
His breathing was ragged and he shook his head, as Yuugo responded to the question he asked through clenched teeth.
