đđđNew Fanfiction: Anime Crossover: As a Devil, I Tamed the Heroines [50+ chapters]
Regarding Ryunosuke, Yujiro didn't even spare him a glance. It wasn't because he underestimated him, but rather because they held a personal vendetta; at this moment, he desperately wanted to skin that wretched boy alive.
Ryunosuke felt a wave of relief seeing Yujiro finally drop to one knee, rendered powerless to resist.
He had indeed arranged for Megumi to carry out the sneak attack. After all, following the original lore, it seemed only tranquilizers could truly bypass Yujiro's biology.
And this task could only be performed by Megumi, whose presence was practically zero; if anyone else had tried, they would have been detected from the start.
Ryunosuke approached him, intending to use a small knife to slit his throat. Since the grudge between them was a matter of life and death, he wouldn't act holier-than-thou by simply letting him go.
Besides, the opponent certainly wouldn't show him any mercy later, so what was there left to discuss?
Die!
Unfortunately, Ryunosuke's knife merely skidded across Yujiro's steel-like skin. Instead of a cut, the friction produced actual sparks.
"Is your skin really made of iron?"
Ryunosuke was left speechless.
What kind of visual effect was this?
Why were there sparks from a metal-on-skin collision?
If it was like this, how was he supposed to kill him?
He couldn't even breach the opponent's defense.
Ryunosuke instantly felt a surge of panic and frustration.
No! He absolutely could not let Yujiro go; he had to finish him!
If he lost this golden opportunity that only came once in a lifetime, it might be impossible to get it again in the future.
Ryunosuke measured his remaining stamina, which was running low. He took a brief moment to rest, eating some bread to fill his stomach and restore his energy.
"Chuunibyou Mode" was indeed useful, but unfortunately, it consumed too much "Mana" (stamina). With his current state, it seemed he couldn't maintain it for much longer.
Once his stamina recovered slightly, Ryunosuke took three or four katana from the kendo hall and tucked them into his waist. He feared one sword wouldn't be enough, so he took spares.
The school truly facilitated the various talents of its students; from martial arts halls to kendo and taekwondo, everything was fully available.
Ryunosuke drew his sword and unhesitatingly slashed at Yujiro's neck, but a moment later, the sword snapped clean in two.
Ryunosuke clicked his tongue; he already knew ordinary weapons couldn't harm his opponent, which was why he had gathered several swords to try.
Without hesitation, Ryunosuke discarded the broken blade, drew a new sword, took a deep breath, activated "Chuunibyou Mode," and immediately hit full throttle with all his power!
This time, he planned to attempt the Ittou Shura technique.
Invisible ripples of air spread through the surroundings; this was Ryunosuke in Ittou Shura mode.
Yujiro also sensed this unusual aura. It seemed this technique... could actually hurt him.
Without a second thought, Ryunosuke lunged forward with his blade.
If it were just a standard Ittou Shura, it might not be enough to decapitate the opponent. Therefore, he compressed his power into a single instant of shock, concentrating all his energy into one second.
That was the Ittou Rasetsu technique.
"Seventh Secret Sword: Raikou (Lightning)!!!"
Upon the unsharpened blade, thin yellow sparks of lightning slowly began to coil.
Ryunosuke's capillaries instantly burst; it was caused by the excessive load his body could not bear.
But Ryunosuke didn't care anymore. If the opponent remained alive now, the situation would be truly dire.
Even if his body broke, he had to take this man's head!
Yujiro's pupils shrank drastically, and even the pores and hairs behind his skin stood on end.
His instincts screamed at him to avoid this move! If he didn't, the impact wouldn't be just a simple wound.
Yujiro exerted all his strength! Instantly, he activated the Demon Back mode, causing his clothes to explode into shreds.
He intended to use the power of the Demon Back mode to pump his circulation so the sedative in his body would evaporate quickly, allowing him to move normally again.
Ryunosuke's katana had already swept in. Yujiro didn't have time to think and raised both armsâstill stiff but forced into motionâto parry.
SRET!
The sound of a blade entering flesh echoed. Yujiro's arms were sliced deep, and the sword continued to push forward, as if wanting to sever his limbs entirely.
Yujiro suddenly hardened his muscles, forcefully clamping the blade.
Ryunosuke sped past the opponent and landed behind him. Holding the katana while covered in his own blood, he looked back and hissed. "The cut was too shallow, huh?"
Both of Yujiro's arms were cut halfway through, including the bone. On his neck, there was also a single line of a bloody wound.
This was the first time he had felt so close to death.
This boy had almost killed him.
Yujiro laughed boisterously toward the sky, "Hahaha! Truly a terrifying brat, I almost died at your hands."
Ryunosuke ignored his laughter. Suddenly, the sound of his sword snapping rang outâit was clearly no longer usable.
He once again discarded the sword and pulled a fresh one from his waist, intending to continue the assault.
Today, he had no path of retreat left. The choice was either you die or I die.
However, at this critical juncture, Yujiro actually gave up. "Enough, no need to continue..."
Ryunosuke was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Yujiro spoke as if he had lost interest, "You should be able to get even stronger in the future, right? If I kill you now, wouldn't that be a great shame?"
Ryunosuke seemed to understand his opponent's logic and decided to stop as well.
"You won't look for trouble with me again, will you?" He asked once more to be certain.
"I won't. At least not until you grow stronger." Yujiro put his hands in his pockets and prepared to leave.
He wouldn't kill a fledgling bird; that was too boring. It was better to wait for the bird to grow large and strong before it became a real challenge.
And so, Ryunosuke managed to resolve this troublesome matter for the time being. At least in the short term, Yujiro would not disturb him.
He sheathed his sword. Even though his entire body was covered in blood, no one dared to laugh at him, because the opponent he faced was the Strongest Creature on Earth.
He had even managed to wound that opponent.
Although his victory wasn't pure due to the aid of sedatives, no one dared to make negative comments. For the fact that he managed to injure Yujiro was enough for an ordinary person to boast about for a lifetime.
Yuichiro and Narumori had arrived at the scene long ago and watched from the sidelines.
Yuichiro was Hanma Yujiro's father, but at this moment, he was only wearing swimming trunks.
He had swum from across the ocean; that's right, he swum alone.
When he heard his son was causing trouble at his former alma mater, he had rushed over by ship. However, halfway through, he felt the ship was too slow, so he jumped into the sea and swum the rest of the way.
As a member of the Hanma family, swimming 20 kilometers was a mere trifle.
Unlike Yujiro, Yuichiro deeply loved his family, especially his wife. He only wanted to maintain his own peace and didn't care about the title of "Strongest in the World."
Unfortunately, his foolish son was too much; since childhood, Yujiro had tried to kill him to seize the throne of the strongest.
Yuichiro didn't spoil him; he would catch Yujiro and spank him. He had been doing it since Yujiro was a child into his adulthood.
Therefore, Yujiro was deathly afraid of his father.
Yuichiro himself was helpless against his son; after all, he was his own flesh and bloodâhe couldn't exactly kill him, could he?
Though when he was younger, he did briefly think about just having another child with his wife.
As for the throne of the Strongest Creature in the World, Yuichiro had simply given it to him. His foolish son would have kept trying to kill his own father for that title otherwise.
He believed his foolish son was capable of it.
For as Yujiro grew older, he moved toward his peak strength in his prime, while as Yuichiro grew older, his strength would gradually decline, and sooner or later, he would no longer be a match for Yujiro.
