Boom!!!
A thunderous roar, as if the entire space was shaking. The survivors in the city, who were rebuilding their homes, all looked up in the direction of the sound, their faces filled with horror as they saw the massive mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
At this moment, on a dilapidated high-rise building hundreds of meters away from the Takagi family castle, stood a somewhat short but robust figure.
"Komuro Takashi, you really went after all…"
"But facing those insurmountable beings, going there will only make you lose more."
Watching the distant figure of Komuro Takashi, who was almost losing his mind with endless anger and fighting like a wild beast, the figure on the high-rise muttered with a hint of helplessness, a hint of mockery, and a hint of sympathy…
If there were any other former members of Fujimi Academy here, they would surely be shocked to see this short but robust figure. Because he was none other than the once timid, introverted, and bullied otaku, Hirano Kohta!
Compared to over a year ago, Hirano Kohta had undergone a dramatic transformation.
His once protruding belly was gone, his oily head had slimmed down, and his once fair and tender skin had taken on a healthy bronze hue. Completely different from his former timid and somewhat weak appearance, he now exuded a mature and resolute aura.
One could say, except for his still unfortunate height, he had become a standard handsome man!
"Takagi-san, I wish you happiness…"
Looking at Takagi Saya sitting in Sora's arms on the distant castle, a hint of loss flashed in Hirano Kohta's eyes, but more than that, there was sincere blessing.
Unlike Sora, who had a strong sense of possession, Hirano Kohta was content as long as the person he liked and cared for was happy. Unlike Komuro Takashi, who was self-centered and stubborn, he wouldn't do things he knew were impossible.
Taking a deep look at the pink-haired girl with a ponytail, Hirano Kohta knew that this might be the last time he would see her from afar.
With a long sigh, he leaped off the high-rise and, after a few jumps, ultimately chose to leave silently.
…
"Hehe, little Saya, Hirano-san has blessed you, don't you have anything to say?"
With a sly smile, Sora spoke to the young lady in his arms.
"Hmph! If I really said something, you'd probably go kill someone, wouldn't you?!"
Glancing at Sora, Takagi Saya replied with a hint of annoyance.
"Uh…"
Somewhat embarrassed, Sora had to admit that Takagi Saya was right!
Sora was an extremely possessive man. Other men could like or admire his women, which only satisfied his vanity and proved that his women were outstanding. But if any fool dared to try to steal his woman, he wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless!
Fortunately, Hirano was a smart man with self-awareness, or else he would have been torn to pieces by this domineering guy long ago!
"Hmph!"
With a soft snort, Takagi Saya showed an expression of "I knew it," but deep down, she felt a sweet sensation. Although this big bad guy always bullied her and was so domineering, wasn't this also a sign of his care for her…
"Thank you, Hirano-san…"
Looking in the direction of the now empty high-rise, although she and Hirano Kohta were impossible, his sincere blessing deeply moved the young girl's heart.
Pouting, although he felt a bit jealous, Sora didn't say anything. Although he was somewhat moved by Hirano's silent blessing for Takagi Saya, there was no way he would let the girl go!
Well, since he would never see that little fatty again, and he had no chance to steal his woman, he decided to let him go. For now, he would continue to enjoy the show below.
Thinking this, Sora turned his gaze back to the battlefield below.
Komuro Takashi, who had exploded with potential in this desperate situation, was indeed different. His strength had greatly increased, and he was no longer just taking hits. He was now chasing Komuro Aoi all over the place.
This wasn't because Komuro Aoi was weaker now, but because she didn't want to engage in close combat with Komuro Takashi, so she mostly dodged his attacks.
Komuro Takashi was relentless, fighting to the death, with almost every move aimed to kill. In no time, the battlefield was filled with hundreds of craters. Except for the largest one, which was caused by Komuro Aoi's previous fireball, the rest were all Komuro Takashi's doing!
Of course, Komuro Aoi wasn't just dodging; she would counterattack whenever she had the chance.
Komuro Takashi was at his peak now, and using a big move might not necessarily take him down. Moreover, to let her evil master enjoy the show, this poor woman had to tire herself out a bit more.
Constantly summoning firebirds, she would blast him whenever she had the chance. Although it couldn't hurt Komuro Takashi, it could at least annoy him.
Having been trained by that big bad master for so long, Komuro Aoi was quite experienced in combat. Although Komuro Takashi seemed invincible now, it was only temporary. Once his momentum passed, his strength would gradually weaken, and that would be her time to counterattack!
Thus, the battle entered a stalemate. One attacked, the other dodged, fighting all over the place, seemingly enjoying themselves.
Komuro Aoi wasn't in a hurry. The longer the battle dragged on, the more her strength would recover, while her opponent would grow weaker.
Soon, the gap between them would become apparent!
Although countless life-and-death battles had made Komuro Takashi's heart incredibly strong, Sora was just too evil. Instead of sending Miyamoto Rei or other girls, he sent the woman who had the closest blood relationship with him!
Even with his strong heart, Komuro Takashi couldn't help but feel overwhelming rage, wanting to tear her apart without any rational thought. By the time Komuro Takashi's strength began to wane, drenched in sweat and panting heavily, and he slightly calmed down to realize something was wrong, it was already too late!
"Ha… Ha… Komuro Aoi, fight me!!!"
Looking at the woman with a mocking expression not far away, Komuro Takashi let out a roar of endless hatred.
However, after such a long and intense battle, his strength was almost depleted, and no miracle of a potential explosion occurred this time.
"Haha, my foolish child, do you really think you have a chance?"
Standing still, stroking her smooth hair, Komuro Aoi smiled charmingly, but her laughter was filled with endless mockery and disdain.
"Well, I'm tired of this boring battle, and I'm sure the master has seen enough. So—"
"Let me end it all now!!!"
With a flash of cold light in her eyes and a cold smile on her lips, Komuro Aoi's body suddenly erupted with overwhelming momentum!
Although filled with endless rage, Komuro Takashi hadn't completely lost his sanity. A sense of extreme danger surged in his heart, and his body instinctively burst forth with maximum strength, trying to distance himself from this dangerous woman.
"Undying Flame Dragon!"
With a mocking smile, the woman pointed a slender finger to the sky, and a massive fire dragon, hundreds of meters long, formed in the air, coiling and roaring. Under Komuro Aoi's command, it descended with unstoppable force towards Komuro Takashi on the ground!
"Ah!!!"
Boom!!!
The ground shook as if in an earthquake, and waves of scorching heat destroyed everything. Unsurprisingly, Komuro Takashi was directly swallowed by the flame dragon!
"My foolish child, in the end, you still couldn't accomplish anything."
As the flames vanished and the dust settled, she arrived at the massive crater, looking down at the battered and nearly lifeless body of Komuro Takashi. Komuro Aoi's voice was filled with endless disappointment and coldness…
