Awakening to a Special-Grade Explorer
Vol. 4 - Ch. 203

In the same split second Ibuki Douji and Ootakemaru vanished from this world---the souvenirs they had left behind, the otherworldly loose cannon-like destructive attack, crashed into the monster.

The impact created an explosion Tenji had never experienced in his life.

The explorers in the area hurriedly lay down on the ground, and hold their hands to prevent themselves from blowing away by the fierce wind, somehow withstanding the impact. They had just done then when a shockwave struck them, shaking them to their core.

Monster put the entirety of its energy into enduring the collision.

"Grrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuu!?!?"

It braced its leg on the ground and contested against the tyrannical power of azure flame orb and crimson slash with left and right hand respectively while trying to push away their momentum. Nevertheless, the heat from attacks had already started to burn its fingers. The anguish he had felt a while ago was once again crawling into every nook and cranny of the body. The pain made the monster almost give up, but it also knew that would result in death.

It couldn't afford to give up here. Unwittingly, it released a howl, shaking its very soul.

It howled again and again and again. It did everything and forced its body to over-draw the strength beyond the current limit.

If only the spirit of rebellion would have been enough to overcome adversity, however. The might of two Oni's attacks proved to be far more tremendous.

"Gruuuuuuuuuuuu!?!?"

Its arms had slowly, but surely, started to fold against the momentum. Even its bone had pierced through the skin and jutted out from around the elbow section. The skin was charred, exposing the uncovered fibres of muscles to the air. The red and blue hellfire was burning the monster's body from within.

It couldn't let itself be distracted even for a single moment or else that would be the end. Even the newfound upgraded regeneration may not be possible to catch up if it takes those attacks. Nope, not even one bit. The flames at this moment were far more concentrated that earlier flames during torture felt more like a simple spark.

It willed its body to continue the struggle, no matter what it takes. It kept howling from the pit of its stomach and poured every single ounce of strength.

Just as the situation had almost fallen into stalemate, sometimes monsters pushed back the attack, sometimes it was pushed back. The situation had been a repeat of that when a shadow suddenly appeared in front of the monster.

The being was far shorter compared to the giant the two Onis earlier were.

An awful hunch made its way to the monster.

"It's also a do-or-die moment for me, you see. So, Hell King Blade---"

It was a certain young man, wielding a burning sword in his hands. The existence of Ibuki Douji and Ootakemaru was like the elephant in the room, so it had unwittingly forget about the ant---Tenji.

The short statured Tenji, compared to those Oni, was holding the white greatsword of Ibuki Douji. It wasn't his usual Flame Demon Blade, but the <Hell King Blade> that Ibuki Douji was carrying.

"K〇W△SAntK5Why do you have K5YEJS that weapon!?"

Monster unwittingly shouted out as it felt the impending crisis.

It might have withstood the Flame Demon Blade but the Hell King Blade alone was something it mustn't let touch itself. Monster could still vividly recall, to an unpleasant degree, the taste of real hell flames.

---Stop it, Tenji.

Monster stared at Tenji with a pleading look, though the latter took no heed of it. 'It was just lying here,' Tenji flashed a fierce grin as if implying that.

Ootakemaru had appeared into the world when Ibuki Douji offered his white greatsword. And the same sword was once again summoned by the side of Tenji when Ootakemaru returned to his original place.

It seemed like Ibuki Douji didn't dare to put all the eggs in one basket. As a precaution, it actually left not two souvenirs for the monster but actually three.

Tenji quietly sucked in a breath.

He forsake his current knowledge and recalled the way of Ibuki Douji's movement.

Tenji, as he was now, couldn't muster even a shred of the prestige of Hell King Blade's true power. But it wasn't like he didn't learn anything from him. He needed but a glance understand that---

"---<Nameless Crimson>!!"

As the red and black flames intertwined themselves around the outline of the sword, Tenji performed an upward slash, severing the right shoulder of the defenseless monster in a twinkle.

However that wasn't the end as next, he raised the greatsword above his head and slashed down.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

With the practised movement, the next attack from greatsword aimed at the left shoulder of the monster this time.

The Monster obviously had no way to act against it when it was preoccupied with keeping the two tyrannical forces at bay.

In the end it couldn't do anything and helplessly watched as the greatsword sliced even the left shoulder. It lost both its arms from the Tenji assault.

This meant it was now pushed into a defenceless state for the moment. Needless to say, it also couldn't cope with the forces of blue and red flames.

Red and Blue.

The two types of hellfire crashed into monsters from right and right.

"Grrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!?!"

The impact from flames created a fierce explosion around the defenceless frame of the monster, burning even the air around it.

Tenji, mixed among the explosion, made his third move.

"Haaaaaaaaaa!!"

The attack this time loped that atrocious monster's head from its body, which fluttered in the air depicting an arc.

A single moment after that---the two flaming forces completely burned down the monster's torso, leaving not even a speck of ash.
