An unusual experience made me realize the value of life, but by the time I looked back, I was already in my twilight years.
It seemed long, yet it passed in a flash.
Bloodthirsty new cr...
Perhaps it knew it couldn't escape, or perhaps it wanted to salvage the dignity of the Haru clan one last time.
This Haru didn't choose to use a weapon either. Instead, it threw away the dagger in its hand and then took out something else.
We recognize this thing; it's one of those grayish-white mushrooms that can temporarily boost your strength.
Haru's expression was resolute. It put the whole mushroom into its mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
Dante and Susu tensed up again upon seeing this scene. They had witnessed the effects of the mushrooms and even used them themselves; it was an unsolvable method of cheating.
However, I didn't stop it. Only in this way could I better see what level Haru's combat power could reach.
Haru, now under the influence of drugs, instantly gained a significant boost in aura. Its eyes were now filled with bloodshot veins.
At this moment, Haru's eyes were like they had been injected with 100,000 volts of high voltage, so excited that there was no trace of fear in them.
This thing has such a twisted effect that it can turn a normal person into a crazy person who fears nothing.
I was too lazy to complain anymore. I focused my mind and assumed a monkey-like stance, my ten fingers cracking as if they were in eagle claws, ready to fight at any moment.
I can't be careless this time. Haru's strength is already considerable, even stronger than ours. I only managed to defeat Haru easily by using my agility and reaction speed.
Now that this guy has eaten mushrooms, I wonder how much he'll improve. If I'm careless and get punched by him, I'm absolutely certain I'll break a few bones.
Haru made his move.
Perhaps it was filled with physical strength at that moment, and it was heading towards me like a truck speeding towards me. The oppressive feeling brought by the dense footsteps made even my scalp tingle.
If this blow lands squarely, it would be no less than being struck with full force by a fully grown wild boar weighing several hundred pounds. Even if the victim doesn't die, they will immediately lose the ability to resist.
Damn, this guy is really ruthless. He's trying to kill me right from the start, isn't he?
Let's give it a try!
I'm already judging the distance between Haru and me; there are still 0.5 seconds left!
Just as Haru was about to crash into my body, I swerved to stay close to Haru's body and narrowly avoided it.
But this wasn't the end of it. In the instant I dodged, I seized the opportunity and quickly reached out with my right claw to grab Haru's back.
The immense inertia ripped a piece of skin off Haru's back, instantly splattering bright red blood all over him.
However, it didn't care about the injury at all. For Haru, the sense of pain had been sealed away. It was just a minor superficial wound, and it didn't hurt at all.
Haru swung a backhand punch at my head with a whooshing sound. Now it was all style and no flair; every attack was aimed at killing me.
If that last attack might have caused serious injury, then if this attack lands squarely, I estimate it could send me flying on the spot.
The ferocious and brutal fighting style horrified Su Su and Dante, who were watching from the sidelines. It seemed that destroying that mushroom field back then was such a wise move.
If a large number of Haru eat those mushrooms and then fight the Mira people, it will definitely cause even more trouble.
"Is that all you've got? If so, then I'll have to send you on your way!"
As I dodged Haru's punch, I raised my claws and began attacking Haru's throat. Like all animals, no matter how strong the body is, the throat is always one of the most vulnerable places.
Haru was in a berserk state, but its consciousness remained clear. It knew very well that it had only temporarily lost the ability to feel pain, which did not mean it was immune to injury.
If a vital part of the body is attacked, the injury will still occur, and death will still occur; even mushrooms cannot reverse this law.
Seeing me extend my claws towards my throat, Haru, who had already witnessed my power, quickly raised his hands to protect his neck.
I gripped his wrist with my eagle claws, trying to pull him away, but he wouldn't budge. Haru's strength was truly formidable.
It seems that only the warriors of the Asaida tribe can rival Haru in strength.
Seeing an opportunity, Haru immediately launched a powerful front kick at my chest. Instantly, I felt a gust of wind on my face, and even before the kick landed, I already felt a dull pain in my chest.
In a moment of desperation, I used my hands to clasp Haru's wrists as a fulcrum and jumped high over his head.
After narrowly dodging an oncoming kick, I used the momentum of the jump to flip over and sit on Haru's shoulders.
Haru used brute force to break free from my restraints, grabbed my legs with both hands and held them firmly, then began to charge towards the rock wall in an upside-down motion.
This guy isn't giving me a chance to breathe. If Haru were to slam into the rock wall with his monstrous strength, I, who am currently unable to move, would either die or be completely paralyzed.
Unable to break free, I simply gave up on trying to open Haru's hands. Right now, only my legs are bound by Haru; my hands are still usable.
Conventional methods are no longer sufficient to handle the current situation. I need to deal with Haru as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will become very dangerous.
Without further hesitation, I decisively chose the same method that the Sand Beast had used to deal with the Saber-toothed Tiger.
The spine is the most fatal part of the body in higher animals. It often contains a large number of central nervous systems that control body movements. If it is severely injured, the central nervous system will immediately disconnect from the brain.
My hand slid down Haru's neck and spine, and when it reached the third vertebra, I suddenly used my right hand to grip that vertebra and bend it upwards.
With a crisp snap, like the sound of snapping fingers, Haru's third vertebra was broken and dislocated.
Haru, who had been completely oblivious, suddenly seemed to be recharged, his entire body trembling.
It seems that the shuddering of residual urine while urinating became Haru's last movement in his remaining life. His brain had lost control and he had lost command of his limbs; all the muscles in his body went on strike at will.
The next second, Haru, like a drunkard who had drunk himself into a stupor, collapsed to his knees and fell face down on the ground.
Susu and Dante, who had just been so frightened by the scene that they were about to draw their swords to finish Haru off, were dumbfounded. What the hell happened? They were fighting so well, how could he just suddenly be lying down?
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Susu and Dante would have thought that Haru was an actor I had hired.
How did Master manage to do that? It's unbelievable!
Naharu didn't utter a sound. One second he was full of energy, and the next he just inexplicably fell straight down.
I got up from the ground, dusted myself off, and calmly pointed at the three Haru that we had already taken down, saying...
"It seems these Haru are quite powerful, but these three are a bit weak, so they're not very easy to fight."
