Chapter 5 005
Outside the Mafia building in the port, a somewhat comical scene is unfolding.
Romain Rolland, transformed into Jules Verne using "Lives of Great Men," is drawing circles on the ground like a spinning axis, while simultaneously throwing countless bizarre-looking stone balls towards the central plains directly in front of him.
Chuuya Nakahara kept dodging in the air and on the ground, occasionally throwing a kick or a punch back at a stone ball or two. Romain Rolland didn't care at all and didn't dodge at all. The two of them had a feeling of elementary school students throwing beanbags...
It may seem comical, but both sides are actually quite anxious at this moment.
Chuuya Nakahara was anxious because he noticed that the longer Romain Rolland spun around on the ground like a juicer, the larger the area on the ground that felt fluid became—it was just a thin layer of soil, but underneath it was all flowing lava.
Judging from the spot where Romain Rolland often kicked, this layer of soil is at most five or six centimeters thick, definitely not enough to support a person.
If this drags on too long... like I said, the Port Mafia headquarters are right behind him. If they don't come up with a solution quickly, no matter how annoyed they are, they'll have no choice but to let this mole mixer go.
Seeing Romain Rolland leisurely throwing stone balls, and knowing that his opponent had the upper hand, Chuuya Nakahara gritted his teeth and suddenly increased his offensive.
One last push! If it doesn't work, release them!
As for Romain Rolland... he was worried that if he couldn't escape or if that short guy over there didn't give up, he would really spread the lava to the area below the Harbor Mafia building.
The size of this lava pool is truly beyond his control. As long as he maintains the "Journey to the Center of the Earth" attack state, the ability will continue to activate, and the lava's area will naturally continue to expand...
Unlike Jules Verne, he doesn't specialize in the "Journey to the Center of the Earth" ability, so he can't precisely control it.
As for why we're worried about this... he's here to steal intelligence, not to demolish buildings. Even the most stubborn UN wouldn't do something as bizarre as demolishing the local tyrant's old base as soon as he arrives.
However, the person on the other side was clearly a purely militant cadre and a brute. In this situation, he still had the mind to speed up the offensive, as if he was afraid that his own building would not be damaged fast enough.
Thinking about it carefully, he had already demolished quite a few buildings. He probably didn't care about this stubborn guy. Romain Rolland had been stealing intelligence for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had seen someone who hadn't even managed to sneak into the classified archives and was now tearing down walls and destroying houses to chase after someone.
Seeing the dwarf on the other side attacking with renewed speed, Romain Rolland had no choice but to suddenly increase the output of "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
—Anyway, I won't be the one who suffers in the end! Let the building be demolished! Who in UN hasn't demolished a few buildings?
In this state of panic on both sides, the speed at which sandbags were thrown increased significantly.
So, when Ozaki Koyo and Akutagawa Ryunosuke arrived, they were met with this dangerous yet utterly ridiculous scene.
Koyo Ozaki couldn't help but cover her face.
"What are they playing?"
Ryunosuke Akutagawa silently glanced at the magma spheres constantly moving in the air, then suddenly several sharp spikes protruded from his trench coat and pierced the ground.
"【Rashomon - Iron Thorns】"
Rashomon's spikes emerged from the area between Chuuya Nakahara and Romain Rolland, precisely piercing and shattering all the flying stone spheres.
Chuuya Nakahara and Romain Rolland simultaneously displayed contrasting yet similar expressions—Chuuya Nakahara felt joy and relief at the arrival of reinforcements, while Romain Rolland felt both annoyance and relief at the unexpected arrival of reinforcements on the other side.
Yes, both of them felt a sense of relief...
Both of them were already tired of throwing sandbags, but... since their strengths were almost equal, they were both in a state of "if I fight a little harder, I will win", which resulted in a deadlock.
Upon seeing the two superhumans suddenly appear in the distance, Romain Rolland almost instantly realized their identities.
The executives, Ozaki Koyo and the strongest of the Black Lizards, Akutagawa Ryunosuke.
Wait, if it's Ozaki Koyo, her special abilities...
By the time Romain Rolland realized what was happening, a huge samurai sword was already at his neck.
Romain Rolland glanced at the enormous golden yaksha behind him, his face expressionless.
Damn, it crashed.
Even with Rashomon's sharp thorns pointed at him, Romain Rolland could not stop his expressionless face.
He, the renowned "Hundred Faces," a master infiltration expert who thrives internationally, has his downfall in a mafia operation on an island nation.
If word gets out, those guys who already dislike him will laugh him to death!!
Chuuya Nakahara landed beside Kouyou Ozaki with gritted teeth, and let out a grinding laugh as he looked at Romain Rolland, who was surrounded by the Golden Demon and Rashomon.
Romain Rolland's expression became even more blank.
Seeing Romain Rolland looking at her with a cold (meaning expressionless) expression, Ozaki Kouyou, having confirmed that the other party had been humiliated, smiled at him in a good mood.
"Mr. Bai Mao, would you do me the honor of coming in for a cup of tea?"
Romain Rolland hesitated for a moment, then resolutely said, "No."
The Rashomon gate in front of him trembled slightly, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa's face also showed confusion.
"Not that I'm saying anything," Romain Rolland said with a hint of helplessness.
The loud whooshing sound rang out almost simultaneously with Romain Rolland's words. Before anyone could react, a huge silver knight's lance shot out from not far away, piercing through the golden yaksha in an instant and carrying it away as it flew off.
Why do you think you're the only ones with reinforcements?
A silver figure, invisible to the naked eye, followed closely behind the knight's lance with a slightly eerie movement—Ozaki Koyo and Akutagawa Ryunosuke carefully examined it and found that the movement was nothing more than running with an excessively large stride—before it stopped, the figure punched Romain Rolland's Rashomon gate with tremendous kinetic energy.
The extreme violence almost instantly shattered Rashomon, and the remaining force still broke apart the soil on the ground, causing the viscous magma beneath to be punched out like a highly fluid liquid, creating a huge "water curtain".
The water curtain fell, revealing the figure that followed, clad in enormous, bright silver knight's armor.
"What kind of evil spirits dare to be so rampant in broad daylight!"
His opening remarks were quite bizarre for the sake of Japanese, and it was hard to tell whether to call it overly theatrical or simply not fluent enough.
He stretched out his right hand, and the knight's lance that had pierced the golden yaksha flew back into his hand with a swift impact that sent chills down one's spine.
The knight, who appeared speaking in a strange and inexplicable Japanese, turned to look behind him before the people opposite him could answer.
"Scout, are you alright... Hmm! Where's the scout?!"
Upon discovering that there was no one behind him, the knight uttered rather exaggerated interjections and an overly nasal tone.
"Here."
A little further away, Romain Rolland, who had been thrown back by the recoil from the figure's attack on Rashomon, rubbed his head and sat up from the lava in annoyance.
Don Quixote, you'd better watch out!
"My apologies, my friend! In my attempt to help you vanquish the demon, I inadvertently lost control of my strength! Ahahaha!"
The knight, speaking in a bizarre manner once again, let out another rather fake laugh.
—It felt like the performance of an extremely unskilled actor.
Across from them, the three members of the Port Mafia watched the figures with some nervousness.
This guy who just appeared out of nowhere, although he seems to have some mental issues, is... very strong.
He shattered the Golden Yaksha and Rashomon in an instant, and now he stands in waist-deep lava as if walking on flat ground, completely unconcerned... terrifying strength and powerful defensive capabilities, a standard combat-type ability user.
At that moment, as if sensing something, Don Quixote raised his hand and punched over his shoulder, striking the golden yaksha that appeared out of thin air.
It landed right in the middle of his face.
Even with this textbook-perfect, effortless move, Don Quixote's punch still sent the golden demon flying, even slightly shattering its face, and sending it flying backward.
Romain Rolland cursed under his breath and ducked to avoid the golden demon that nearly grazed his head.
Ozaki Koyo's expression turned even uglier.
"Are you the enemy this time?"
The silver-armored knight, Don Quixote, held up an unusually large lance and pointed the tip at the Port Mafia with a perfectly executed movement.
"I, Don Quixote, hereby accept the challenge!"
