"What immense power!"
Urouge looked up, still wearing his peculiar smile. The air around him suddenly twisted, causing his slightly tattered monk's robe to tear once more at this moment.
"Then let you taste it yourself, this power of damage! Karma!"
His body swelled to a size larger than the Peacekeeper, landing a fierce punch on its chest. Under the immense force, the Peacekeeper was sent flying backwards.
"Oh... enhanced power, not bad."
Inside the main gate, Sage exhaled a puff of smoke and chuckled, "But it seems like this requires getting hurt to use. The greater the harm, the stronger the body? That's a bit underwhelming..."
Damage always has a limit, and once that limit is exceeded, it means failure.
This Fruit Ability isn't as simple and pure as his Dragon Transformation Breathing Technique. Both enhance the body, but for Sage, the stronger the foundation, the greater the amplification, just like his ability.
But ultimately it's a subordinate; perhaps it can learn some Six Styles to increase resilience against attacks and flexibility, ensuring it isn't just a stupid target.
"Puff!"
Hawkins seized the opportunity and spat out a large number of iron nails. Lucci leapt into the air, spinning his tail once around. Following his legs, he swung forward, unleashing a spiral-shaped slash.
"Rankyaku: Leopard Tail!"
Boom!!
The flying iron nails and the slash mixed together, forming a constantly spinning blade of nails. Just as the Peacekeeper was about to land, the attack struck its body and exploded into a cloud of dust.
"That should do it!"
Urouge laughed peculiarly, "I've used my full strength."
On Hawkins' arm, a large number of Straw Dolls appeared, all smoking and falling off.
After his Transformation, his speed was even slower, stubbornly enduring the laser emitted from the Peacekeeper's mouth. The substitute had already been used up.
Lucci exhaled, his senses not doing well either. The power of this weapon seemed to exceed his own...
It's just a weapon, a secret development of the Government. Could it really replace people like them?!
He was a bit discontent!
But soon, Lucci squinted slightly, his eyes cold.
Through the smoke, the majestic body of the Peacekeeper stood up once more, its face full of blood, with the corner of its eye slightly torn, revealing the mechanical structure inside.
And at its chest, it had completely opened up, exposing the intricate machinery operating inside.
"Not down yet?"
Hawkins said nonchalantly, "Then let's hit it again and bring it down completely."
"That's enough."
At this moment, Lily, who had her eyes closed, spoke, "If we keep fighting, we'll suffer quite a bit of damage. Let us handle this; the purpose of testing the combat strength already has an answer."
As soon as she finished speaking, Renedia and Marika moved to the sides. Renedia twisted the Mechanical Hammer, extending it into a Sheep Horn Hammer. Her fingers released numerous sparks that surged to the hammer's head, delivering a powerful blow to the Peacekeeper's left side with great momentum.
"Powered Hammer Strike!!"
Marika used 'Soru' to transform into an afterimage, heading straight for the Peacekeeper's right side. Her hair coiled around her fist like a glove, a black light streaking along her hair, drenched in darkness with an additional layer of ominous glow, striking hard at its right waist.
"Hair Arms·Heavy Hammer!"
Bam!!
The heavy hammers from both sides squeezed the Peacekeeper in between, its mechanical body quickly compressed and collapsed inward, its immense force causing it to fly uncontrollably.
Zing!
At that moment, Lily opened her eyes, her figure flickered, with her sword gleaming like a thunderbolt streaking towards the neck of the flying Peacekeeper.
The thunderbolt transformed into a black flash as it passed the Peacekeeper's neck. In an instant, Lily appeared behind the Peacekeeper, standing poised, twirling the narrow white lightning sword of two-finger width and sheathing it.
Snap.
Hiss!
The mechanical head, along with cables resembling wires, flew off, causing the Peacekeeper's head and body to emit electrical sparks akin to mechanical damage, collapsing to the ground, twitching incessantly.
"Found the weakness." Lily said calmly.
Sage rested his palm against his chin, watching the scene, a smirk on his lips, "The Breath of All Things, you've made progress, Lily."
