Chapter 402: A Crushing Battle!
At this mont, Findus was locked in combat against liodas and Ban.
The tall one and the short one struck at him with relentless ferocity.
For the first ti, Findus felt truly overwheld. Their combined assault carried enough power to kill him outright.
"Ilok! What are you waiting for? Release them!" Findus roared, panic cracking through his voice.
"Huh!? Y-Yes!" Ilok fumbled, finally reacting. He pulled out a control switch and slamd his hand on it.
From the ship ca a guttural roar that shook the harbor.
One after another, figures burst out—bodies slick with nutrient fluid, their eyes glinting like beasts. They sward ashore like locusts.
"Here we go." Ryuunosuke stepped forward, eyes cold. "Our job starts now. Capture every last one of them."
In the blink of an eye, he vanished. When he reappeared, several of the abominations had already been hurled aside, their bodies crumpling against the ground.
These fighters... they carried the sa revolting aura as the Dwool organization’s soldiers. Their bodies reeked of modification, wrapped in that disgusting nutrient sli. Ryuunosuke shielded himself with telekinesis, pushing the filth away as he pressed the attack.
The rest of the Dragon Hunter Pirates joined in, blades flashing and powers unleashed. Dozens of marines appeared to aid them.
They weren’t admirals or vice admirals—at most rear admirals—but their strength shook the battlefield.
Where had these people been hiding all this ti?
Even Findus, for a brief second, faltered. Have they been preparing for this day all along?
That split-second hesitation cost him dearly.
liodas and Ban struck at once, overwhelming him.
Blood burst from Findus’ mouth as he staggered back, battered and coughing. The mighty Elder was no longer the untouchable figure he had been at the start.
"Can we kill him here?" Ban asked, spinning his staff. "He’s dangerous. If he survives, he’s still a threat. Better to erase him now."
His staff morphed into a pair of nunchaku, and with a wicked grin, Madara invoked his ability: Snatch!
Findus gasped as his chest cracked open—his heart wrenched from his body and crushed to pulp in Ban’s hand.
Ban smirked. "Guess I’m the one who finished him."
But before he could gloat further—
PUFF!
His body was shattered into fragnts. liodas too was hurled back, his arms trembling from the sheer force of the counter.
That strike had been more than a simple blow. It was sothing monstrous.
Findus stood again, coughing blood, yet alive.
Ban reford with a scowl. "Why aren’t you dead? That body... is it just a puppet?"
In answer, Findus blurred forward and crushed Ban again, scattering his form.
liodas t him head-on, forcing him back. But the exchange ca at a price—blood sprayed from liodas’ side as his left arm was ripped clean off.
"You’re not even human..." Findus sneered, tossing the severed limb aside. "But it doesn’t matter. Whoever you are—today, I’ll reduce you to nothing."
A dark aura seeped from his body, black streams coursing through his veins like corrupted blood.
"Those markings..." Ban muttered, his eyes narrowing. "Demons again?"
liodas’ voice deepened. "You don’t know the aning of that word. But I’ll show you."
Black lines of demonic power surged across his body. His aura skyrocketed.
Madara clicked his tongue and retreated at once. "Captain, he’s yours. I’m not going near you in that state."
He knew it well—once liodas released his full power, he lost control. Without Elizabeth to calm him, even Ban could be caught in the storm.
Findus stared at the transford warrior, his confidence cracking. "This... this power shouldn’t exist in this world!"
He lunged again, but liodas tore him apart—literally. His short fra darted low, ripping both of Findus’ legs from his body in one savage motion.
"You dare call yourself our equal?" liodas spat. His hand plunged into Findus’ chest, seizing a mass of writhing black matter. With a squeeze, it collapsed, lifeless.
Findus crumpled. His aura withered.
liodas calmly retrieved his torn arm, reattaching it. The demonic markings faded as his breathing steadied.
"Recovered already?" Ban muttered, eyes wide. "So, he’s mastered it..."
rlin stepped forward, scooping the black matter into a test tube, her eyes gleaming. "The best harvest of the day."
Ban groaned. "A rational captain feels weird... tch. Fine. Back to the fight." He leapt into the fray once more.
anwhile, aboard the retreating ship, Ilok’s face twisted with dread.
"When... when did the Navy beco this strong? I have to get word to the others. If this continues, the World Governnt will be in real danger..."
He pushed the ship to maximum speed—only to find his path blocked.
An ordinary-looking warship drifted into view.
"Get out of my way!" Ilok scread. "I’ll kill you if I have to!"
But before he could act, golden light engulfed everything.
The world turned white.
An axe of pure brilliance cleaved through sea and sky, reducing Ilok and his vessel to nothingness.
Escanor had arrived.
