Garou Ga Kill

Chapter 34: Garou vs Nightraid - Part 3

"For my master, I shall defeat you here" Susanoo spoke as his heavy sword length started to increase, he swang with all of his might toward Garou. Garou tried to block the heavy blow directly with brute force, he failed to stop the sword and was pushed back a few meters. Garou was slightly amazed, he initially thought the increase would be around the same as Koro's. Garou didn't know Susanoo's trump card requires the sacrifice of the owner's life force, which means it gives a much greater boost compared to Koro's.

Although the power and speed boost was bigger than what Garou anticipated, it was nowhere near enough to defeat Garou. Garou estimated Susanoo's raw strength after the increase to be slightly above Esdeath's, making him the strongest opponent he has faced so far, at least in terms of raw power. As for his skill, Garou hoped Susanoo to be more than just muscles if so then he might be as strong as Esdeath or even stronger.

When Susanoo pushed Garou back, Sai used the small opportunity to get Leone to Najenda and the rest, he used his water to carry the armless Leone away. Garou saw this happening and ignored it, He had already defeated Leone, so keeping her had no meaning for him, his current target is Susanoo. Garou dashed toward Susanoo and punched him, but Susanoo used his sword to block the blow, but it was his turn to be pushed back. Garou's punch held more strength than Susanoo's sword blow.

Garou didn't attack again, he looked at Susanoo with his cocky smirk and said "I hope you still have more to show me. Otherwise, it would be too boring."

Susanoo gritted his teeth and attacked Garou, he swang his sword with all of his might, but to his dismay, Garou easily dodged the blows. Susanoo didn't stop nor take a break, he maintained his attack at the same pace. Garou in return kept dodging, but his smirk turned into a frown, it turned out his opponent barely had anything to show him. Susanoo was a palace of strength, and that's it.

Garou sighed lightly as he dodged again, he was excited for nothing, then his eyes turned sharp as he decided to start his onslaught. The next moment, Garou's fist blurred and tens of punches landed on Susanoo's body cracking it. Finally, Garou finished it with a powerful kick making Susanoo's body along with his core shatter like glass.

The assassins who gathered on top of the beast looked horrified, Susanoo might be a teigu, but they treated him and felt as if he was one of their own, a comrade and friend. As for Garou, he turned around to look at them and smirked, he said "Sorry, I broke your man-sized toy, I will make it up to you and break you as well."

His words enraged the assassins, but they had nothing they could do against him. They had to retreat immediately, else their fate would be the same. Sai, who was making his way toward them, stopped in his track, his leg was broken, and he was moving slowly. He knew he had no way to outrun Garou.

He looked at his comrades and said "Leave now! I will buy you some time" then he turned around to face Garou.

Tatsumi and Akame were about to jump and join him, but Najenda stopped them, she made the beast start flying as she said "His leg is injured and had no way to escape, so he chose to stay and buy us time. We can't let his sacrifice go in vain."

The assassins reluctantly stopped and watched sorrowfully as Sai faced Garou alone. On the other hand, Garou whistled as he said "Colour me impressed, I didn't see this one coming considering how useless you are."

Sai looked coldly at Garou, he replied "Regardless of what you think of us, the moment we walked this path, we prepared to suffer hardships and even die for our cause, we are ready to sacrifice. What about you? Do you think yourself great? Maybe some mighty hero? You have all this strength yet you don't do anything to change the unfairness in this world, people like you are the worst! You are just a monster! In the end, the likes of you will be crushed!"
