The howling of a berserk beast shook the entire hall. All the fighting stopped right at that exact moment, looking at the source of the bestial roar.
And then, they saw it.
The figure of Futaba Meiko enveloped in blazing, dark crimson auraââ yes, that was the true, unsealed power of ăBerserkeră.
ăOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!ă
She started to move at an extremely terrifying speed, leaving her aura trailing behind her. The axe-wielding gogma could barely react to the incoming attack from the crimson raging beast in front of it.
ăVUUUUUU, NUGAAAAAAAAAAA!?ă
It was just a single attack from a female human who was even smaller than it. And yet, the moment it received that female womanâs attack, its stance broke. To be exact, the gogma was blown away.
Even though their strength was supposed to be on a par up until now, even when it was lowering its stance to gain more stability, it was far from enough to withstand the female womanâs extremely heavy attack with her halberd that was wrapped in a dark crimson aura.
ăBUGUUUUUUUU!ă
The giant flame axe that was used to receive the halberdâs strike flipped from the gogma hands, and fell behind it.
Naturally, the female berserker wouldnât let go of such an opening but, the other gogma wouldnât let the berserker finish off its comrade.
ăBUNGAAAAAAAAAAAA!ă
It swung its super shock hammer toward Meiko who was about to finish off its comrade.
If Meiko kept going on, the result would be her killing the axe-wielding gogma and then being crushed to death by the hammer-wielding gogma. But, maybe because the drug was a modified version, she could still maintain her composure even in a berserk state, or maybe for the sake of efficiency, she turned around to face the incoming hammer.
ăGUH, GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!ă
Against the hammer that came from above with a power that enough to crush any human into nothing more than bloody spots on the floor, Meiko simply received such attack with her ăDark Tower Shieldă. Even though the clash between the hammer and shield resulted in a loud metallic sound, the shield of the living armor received that terrifying attack without even a single scratch on its surface.
ăU-UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!ă
Even though the floor below her feet was crushed due to the force behind that attack, Meikoâs stance didnât even flinch. The toughness of her body no longer that of flesh, currently, her body was as tough as tempered steel.
And then, she launched her counter.\nThe hammer-wielding gogma who went all out with the previous attack couldnât react in time since its powerful attack from before stunned it. And that opening was fatal in this kind of battle.
ăBUGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!ă
The halberd that swung by Meiko was loaded with her martial art, ăShockă, and it came from below the stunned gogma.
The attack that came from below like scooping up struck gogmaâs crotch, mercilessly pulverizing its horse-like genital into nothing more than bloody mist.
The pain caused by the total annihilation of manhood was simply beyond imagination butââ that gogma was fortunate enough not to have the chance to feel that pain.
The ăShockăattack came from below, and the moment it touched the gogmaâs nether region, whether itâs fat, bulky muscle, or innards, basically everything beneath the skin got pulverized by ultra-high-frequency shockwaves. And then, its abdomen exploded as if there was dynamite in it.
The gogma that lost its entire lower-half silenced right in that instant. The light in its eyes faded as it drowned in its own sea of blood.
ăGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!ă
Without even looking at the upper half of the hammer-wielding gogma that fell on the floor, Meiko had already leapt to reap the life of the axe-wielding gogma that tried to stand back on its feet.
If its hammer fellow could stop Meiko for another second, it might be able to rebuild its stance. But, it was in a completely defenseless state when trying to stand on its feet, by then, the berserker had already raised her halberd high into the air.
The gogma shouldnât be able to perform defensive martial arts either.
As a result, Meikoâs downward swing which was empowered by ăRuptureă easily decapitated the gogmaâs log-like neck.
With a shower of fresh blood from the beheaded gogma serving as the background, Meiko kicked the head of the gogma that was rolling on the floor.
It wasnât that she resented her opponent, nor did she want to desecrate the dead.
That head just happened to be the easiest throwing tool available to reap the life of her next prey.
Due to the amount of force put in her kick, the skull of gogmaâs freshly severed head dented, and it flew toward Meikoâs next target with force rivaling rock shot with a catapult.
ăMUGAAAAA!ă
The gogma that wielded wind magic sword warded off the head of its comrade who flew from its side.
The swordsman gogma turned its back toward its two opponents while complaining to the one who disturbed its battle.
The gogma who fought on par against the combination of Asuna and Minami has no leeway for even a second distraction.\nThatâs why, the moment it turned its back toward its two opponents, its fate had already been sealed.
ăHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!ă
The thing that came right after the severed head bullet was a fatal strike from the female berserker.
Facing against a mass of killing intent wrapped in the dark crimson aura, not even a gogma could let its guard down.
Putting it prudently, Asuna and Minami shouldâve used that chance to inflict a critical wound toward the gogma. But, the two of them were just standing still in their place. Rather, they couldnât move at all.
Minamiâs feet cowered in front of an overwhelming show of Meikoâs power. As for Asuna, she was trembling from head to toes like a newborn foal. Forget about attacking, she couldnât even move due to her trauma.
As a result, it turned into a one-on-one battle between the berserker and swordsman.
The two whose bodies were engulfed in killing intent clashed. And the battle decided right in the next moment.
ăGIIIIIGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!ă
A single slash drew a dark crimson trail.
First, cut its ankle to stop it from moving around.
Then cut its right hand to remove its weapon.
By the time its body fell on the stone paving, the blade of halberd had already struck into the crown of the head of the swordsman gogma.
ăBARA BARADAââ BURADOVA!ă
That moment, the sorcerer-type gogma chanted an aria. As expected, it prioritized the opponent who slaughtered its three comrades in less than a minute.
Toward the trio of Sakura, Ryoko, and Kotori who became its opponent, the sorcerer gogma erected a firewall to hinder their movements while focusing its firepower to annihilate the incoming berserker.
Thereupon, flame tornado surging forth, its heat was enough to reduce anything it touched to a cinder.
ăOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!ă
But, the other party unexpectedly chose to break through from the front.
Meiko set her ăDark Tower Shieldă in front of her as she charged into a fire tornado. Meiko had a large build for a girl but the living armorâs shield could cover her entire body.
\nNaturally, her kitchen knife wasnât just a kitchen knife, it was ăAssassination Kitchen Knifeă. Its bloodthirsty blade was clashing against the four-armed gogmaâs weapons.
ăFU, GU, NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!ă
ăGUHAHA, UOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!ă
But of course, she was pushed back since her opponentâs arms were double of hers. Even though she could unlock her dormant power with Kotaroâs reagent X, defeating the powerful four-armed gogma whose arms surpassed her wasnât a simple matter.
ăBURAă»DAGURAă»DIGORAââJIGURAZUDO!ă
That moment, the magic wand clasped in the four-armed gogmaâs fourth arm fired lightning. The surging lightning was fired at Meiko who was fighting a close combat battle against the four-armed gogma.
At the same time, the other three arms of the four-armed gogma were also sweeping down at Meiko, locking her in place.
ăââRepel, ăReflectoră!ă
At that moment, the heroâs sword cut in.
The lightning strike that was about to attack Meiko was deflected with Yuutoâs slash.
ăSorry for the delay, Futaba-san. Let me to fiâ no, Iâll cover your opening.ă
Meiko didnât even say thank you. All she did was send a sidelong glance but that was enough for Yuuto.
ăHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!ă
ăUOOOOOOOOOââăSLASHă!ă
The situation had reversed, now itâs 2 vs 1. Originally, the four-armed gogma could fight toe to toe against Yuuto. So when Meiko joined in, it was clear that the four-armed gogma would lose.
ăMUGAAA, BUGU, NUGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!ă
Even if the four-armed gogma attacked, as long as it fought against the berserker and the hero, its power was reduced to that of normal gogma. In addition, both of its opponents were as powerful as the four-armed gogma itself.
ăGAAAAAAAAAAAAAââHUMPH!ă
ăTAKE THISââăTRI-SLASHă!ă
The ăAssassination Kitchen Knifeă clad in dark crimson aura slashed four-armed gogmaâs right arm. The three high-speed slashes from the shining sword slashed the four-armed gogmaâs left arm.
