Great Power of the Black Demon] is an ability that gave him the strength to even stop Minokichi-kun’s movements. Aporou’s body sinks, yet even so, the silver arm that was holding onto the illusion didn’t change it’s position from the start.
As a result.
“Counter!?” (Minokichi-kun)
With the flow of power changing with a sudden, yet terrific force, Minokichi-kun’s gigantic body was easily sent flying back into the air.
A voice full with feelings of surprise was clearly heard.
Minokichi-kun’s body was turning, over and over again in a straight vertical direction. Minokichi-kun was not able to recognize the difference between heaven and Earth as he was unable to regain his posture in air, with the most likely ending resulting in him crashing back down to Earth.
The energy required to move such a heavy object is enormous, but all that energy will disappear the moment that it hits the ground. In other words, Minokichi-kun will stop when he crashes into the ground.
The chance for a counterattack that had previously been impossible had now appeared, and it was not something that Aporou would miss.
“...Shaaaa”
Aporou began to unleash one ability after another.
[Aero Master] to create thirty lumps out of wind, [Gravity Law] allowed him to perform high-speed attacks using the gravity.
In an instant, all of the lumps formed of wind smashed into Minokichi-kun just as he came hit the ground, proceeding to prevent Minokichi-kun from regaining his composure. The continuous dull sound similar to a huge hammer hitting a bad chunk of meat rang out throughtout the arena.
“Buuumooo!!!”
A voice full of pain began to leak out.
One of the main characteristics of the Minotaur species is their incredibly tough body wherein Minokichi-kun has a remarkably tough one.
As for the attack, it was one that was meant to be able to pierce metal armor with a single blow.
The power of each impact was heavily reduced because Minokichi-kun’s entire body was covered with a strong muscular armor so the attack itself couldn’t cause massive damage.
The heavy battering on the mighty Minokichi-kun had, however, proved just effective enough to keep him in one place.
Since Minokichi-kun couldn’t move, Aporou closed the distance and made a strike with the red spear.
With the tip of the spear, he cut the atmosphere and the sound of impact rang true.
The blow from the red spear that was aimed towards Minokichi-kun’s left shoulder was just barely blocked with the massive shield. The sparks rang out in a massive array, but Aporou’s attacks didn’t stop.
The spear was drawn once more, and repeatedly thrust at the target.
A red light began to emit from the tip of the red spear as the speed of the spear increased well over a hundred times.
[Aporou battle technique [Arts] [100 Blossoms 1000 Spears] was activated]
[With the battle technique [Arts] [100 Blossoms 1000 Spears] spear effectivity is increased]
Following this, Aporou activated both [Job - Master Spearman] and [Spear King].
Both are high level [Arts] which can only be utilized at the higher levels of an individual’s [Job] wherein the spear is the main combat weapon.
This originally gave humans the possibility to exceed their physical strength and speed limitations at the cost of the user’s stamina.
If it were to be used in a state where the user was near death, there would be a high chance that the user would die as a result of the backlash.
Because the technique that Aporou had used, [100 Blossoms 1000 Spears] is exceptionally strong, it goes to an even higher class of [Arts] than compared to most others.
But, due to the fact that Aporou’s body is substantially stronger than that of a human being, while using [100 Blossoms 1000 Spears] his stamina is only slightly reduced. In addition, after cutting off the technique, he only requires several seconds before he can recover to his original state with no long-standing side-effects.
The heavy red spear was thus greatly strengthened through Aporou’s [Arts] and collided with Minokichi-kun’s shield. At the moment of impact, an abnormal sound erupted with a flash of light.
This nigh impossible scene between two monsters of battle was unraveling before all of the members of Parabellum. Everyone, excluding Aporou’s children, were at a complete and utter loss for words at the spectacle before them.
The red flashes from Aporou’s red spear attacks held such enormous power that each blow would be fatal simply by itself. If it were not for Minokichi-kun’s extremely high durability, he would never have been able to endure such an onslaught.
This scene was also the very first time Aporou had ever been forced into a situation where he showed his hidden strength, his combat [Arts] and special abilities to everyone.
There was a law within this world that “Only a human can have a [Job] as one’s [Ability]”.
[Arts] allow humankind to match the great and mighty existences of the giants and dragons, it was granted upon them by the [Gods] and their greatest [Blessing].
Therefore, no other species are able to gain a [Job] or access the combat [Arts].
But now, right before the eyes of everyone in the battle arena, Aporou had just overthrown the Laws of the world that they had all known.
Such a scene was shown before them. The surprise of the scene for Rusty Iron Knight and the Female Knight was something so unimaginable they were at a total loss for words.
“””How is that possible…””” - Many began to mutter.
Those fragile voices quickly began to fade as their full attention began to seep back within the spectacle before them. The crash of sound created from Aporou’s combat [Arts] [100 Blossoms of 1000 Spears] slammed into Minokichi-kun’s shield.
“Look now Minokichi-kun, I’ll stop holding back now if only a little, prepare yourself!”
From the sheer weight of each blow, Aporou gradually began to push through Minokichi-kun’s defences through the use of the combat [Arts] [100 Blossoms 1000 Spears] combined through the synergetic bonuses of several other abilities.
As a result, the simple calculation of the situation corresponds to an approximate multitude of twice as many hits.
A red afterimage from the spear grew darker and the impacts began to start damaging the surface of the spear, because of the sheer magnitude of these strikes, Minokichi-kun’s arm holding the shield had to bear a serious load.
