Chapter 331: The Genius of Lost Items (1/2)

“—-nh”

Shirokiyami’s face contorted. Taiyou began to attack her relentlessly, well aware that this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

“Why…?”

“…”

Without answering her question, he focused only on attacking her.

Taiyou’s power had long surpassed that of a regular person. He was exuding tremendous power as always, but on this occasion it was clear that it was even more than he usually let out. In terms of speed, he had enough specs to make the world record if he were to decide to run in a 100 meter dash. The same could be said for his other powers, they were all entering into the realm of superhuman.

Taiyou was utilizing all of that power to the max as he continued his onslaught.

Shirokiyami’s surprise lasted for only an instant. The moment that she had understood that Taiyou was coming at her holding nothing back, her severely distraught mind was pieced back together.

“One Sky…Four Oceans.”

Her katana was frozen, unuseable. She had turned to a different option, namely her white hair, as she pulled on it and focused in order to make it into a weapon.

The tip of hair was sharply protruding like a needle as it stabbed Taiyou.

“Kuh!”

Pain coursed through to Taiyou’s bone marrow. He had been utterly careless. He had anticipated the amount of damage potential of the narrow, sword-like hair, but the pain was far greater than he could have predicted.

“The heck is this?”

“Super painful…Acu, puncture.”

“Is that seriously…But if it only hurts, then who cares!”

Gritting his teeth, he advanced forward. He couldn’t afford to stop just because of mere pain. Right now was his greatest chance yet. She couldn’t use her katana, which put her at a severe disadvantage. Not only did Rin mention that- Taiyou felt it as well.

“Heaven Reversal” made Shirokiyami untouchable and a hopelessly merciless opponent, but this time around, he did not feel that feeling of despair. Although getting stabbed by that hair gave him deathly pain, he felt like he could still make something of this situation. This was the time to hold his ground, because who knew when the next chance would come?

So he gritted his teeth, attempting to move forward.

However…

That very moment, he crumpled to his knees.

He tried to step forward, but his right foot wouldn’t budge. In fact, he had lost any sensation of his right foot, as if he had lost the entire leg without realizing it.

His eyes slowly trailed down to the area in question.

“—-No, it’s still here.”

His right foot was still there. Although he still could not feel it, it was definitely connected to his body.

“Is this also part of that attack of yours?”

“M…hm.”

“That’s actually pretty useful.”

“But can I…ask you to stop, right now?”

“That’s one offer I’ll have to refuse.”

“If you don’t…you will not like, the result.”
