THR Chapter 30: VS Nine-Tails. Part six.

Side: Morishita Daiki

“Oi! Shitty Fox! You’ve done as you pleased! This person… belongs to me! Morishita Daiki won’t let you lay even one finger on her body!”

A good looking guy with 9 tails and wearing white and red shinto clothes just as he fell 100 meters away to the ground, he stood up.

It seems he wasn’t incacipated but frowned from feeling some pain.

“Amazing.”

He sighed admiringly at me and he was unaffected.

I mimicked it modernly… No, even if it was greatly weakened, I had hit him with my bat… Excalibur with all my power in his stomach.

However, he was from dying he just breathed and stroked his stomach gently.

As expected of a divine beast, huh? It seems his title of being a God is not for show.

I held my metal bat with both hands and took stance.

The Nine-Tails while heading this way was gently stroking his stomach.

And then we were 10 meters away from each other.

“Magnificently done. This much pain I haven’t received since 1000 years ago… Since the time I was sealed…”

“I’m honored.”

“I’m giving you praise. After all… you’ve given damage to a God. By the way, you are?”

“What?”

“Who do you belong to? You’ve also ate a god, right?”

“Eat a god…?”

“Being ignorant is futile. An attack to work on me… is impossible unless you’ve eaten a god. That’s right, you’re a being who had been hidden in the underground society of this world. Now, tell me where you belong. Are you from the western religious organizations? Perhaps, are you from the Nihomoto guardian organization who have lineage of Amaterasu?”

What is this guy talking about?

Anyhow… I was glaring the Nine-Tails.

“I’m Morishita Daiki. I don’t understand what you’re saying and I belong to no organization.”

“Kufufu, you’re an obstinate fellow, aren’t you. I’ll soften that hard mouth with pain”

At the same time he kicked the ground with a violent speed he came closing the distance.

First is greeting him with a left uppercut.

He sidestepped and at the same time launched an low-kick to my right thigh.

Hit.

However, I stepped in and killed the power of his kick.

I neutralized his attack however, now there’s close to zero distance between us.

I can’t use my metal bat like this.

“You’ve warded off my attack for the 2nd time. It seems your attack earlier wasn’t a fluke. However–”

He smiled and grabbed me by the hem of my hooded sweatshirt.

—Outside Hunt

I got thrown beautifully and hit my back on the ground.

At the same time I dropped my metal bat and it rolled to the day after tomorrow. (TN: That’s what the author literally wrote.)

I had my face upwards and Nine-Tails was flowingly riding me.

—Mount Position.

It’s a position with absolute advantage in mixed-martial arts.

This is a position that even a 90 kilo rugged man can’t overturn even if the rider is a 60 kilo man riding him.

And, if one asks what to do in this position then.

“Gu…”

Nine-tails who downed throws a right punch that’s like a hammer aiming for my face.

I’m also not an amateur.

Guarding from it with my left hand is a success.

“Fumu. You’ve stopped my attack for the 4th time, except for the throw you perfectly guarded everything. But, this is it…”

The nine tails clenched his left fist and raised it high.

And then, struck down like an iron hammer.

As soon as I guarded with my right hand he raised his right hand up.

That’s right, it becomes like this when you’re mounted.

You do nothing but attack constantly when you mount.

This attack method is called the mount punch however, it’s so simple therefore it’s the ultimate attack method.

Barrage of hits.

The Nine-Tails continues his barrage of hits and I guard all of his hits and he moves to make a telling blow on my face.

However—

At long last his fist goes through my guard and hits my face.

“Gufu…”

“Fufu. You guarding this many of my attacks, you deserve praise.”

And then he raised his fists again and struck them down.

And once again he went through the guard and hit my face.

“However, this is it.”

The Nine-tails fists struck my face one after another.

“Won’t you do more? What happened? Didn’t you say you won’t let me touch that shrine maiden?”

I was completely only the defence so I couldn’t return even one hit to the Nine-Tails who was smiling in triumph.

Unfortunately however, his physical strength is slightly better than me currently.

“Morishita-kun!”

I looked towards the voice and it was Abeno-senpai holding a katana while her knees were shaking.

While the Nine-Tails is hitting me, I called out to Abeno-senpai.

“What is it? Abeno-senpai?”

“I’ll support you! There’s nothing that I could do in this extreme level of fighting! However… If I can use myself as a sacrificial pawn! If so, I should be able…”

Haha, I laughed slightly and then the Nine-Tails raised his fist up-high and struck it down on me.

“Kaha…”

It hit my nose, and the smell of iron came to my mouth from the nose.

“You can’t do anything. Senpai can’t do anything. Using yourself as a sacrificial pawn… to this monster is just an impediment!”

“That can’t be… I can’t watch it anymore! I can’t watch you getting hurt for my sake!”

“Be silent and just watch. After this guy is defeated, I’ll slowly fulfil your role as a sacrifice. Are you purposefully trying to get hurt faster?”

Now, since this is a favourable moment I make an expression of giving up.

“What? Giving up already? What happened with your power in the start? Oi, human? Well… It had no effect… At any rate, I am the ultimate being— A God! Kufufuffuhahaahaha!”

“Aa, I gave up the very same thing you are.”

“Hm?”

I observed him as I let him do as he pleases since he called himself a God.

Rather, I was slightly nervous.

After all he’s a self-proclaimed God.

A realm higher than demon king.

Honestly speaking, at the time I was transported, I was given various skills by the Goddess and then I said no thank you at her one vs one spar.

Rather, how can humans go versus gods.

So even I’ll get nervous if they’re called Gods.

And, getting back on topic, in the case of confronting a strong being, you invite them into carelessness by misinterpreting your strength… and pierce them in the back is the basics of strategy.

And this fox is being careless. He’s completely careless.

Was there a meaning in putting him off guard?

And I sighed wearily.

“No matter how much you proclaim yourself god, you’re a weakling.”

“What are you saying?”

And then he raised up fist up high again and struck it down on my nose.

“That’s enough. Roughly, I understand your power. Skill: Body strengthening.”

As the skill is unfolding magic power flows in my muscle fibres.

With this my strength should’ve nearly doubled.

Well, if you’re a close-fighter then having this skill is a must otherwise everything else is useless.

Basically, a close-fighter must have this skill in order to fight.

I shifted the directory of his left hand with my left hand.

“Heave-ho.”

At the same time I grabbed his left ear with my right hand and pulled with all my strength.

*Tear*

Along with that sound the Nine-Tails got pulled sideways and made an arc then fell to my right side.

“Huuuuuuuuurts! It hurts! W-Wha!? What happened!? What just happened!?”

Sigh, I shrugged.

“Be quiet, don’t scream just because you lost one thing. I tore your ear off. That’s simply it.”
