Chapter 81: Steel Iron Monster vs Steel Warrior

Yuuma was hiding in the shade of a rock amidst the loitering Valis, a monster with a steel-like body.

「We somehow managed to go this far.」

The president muttered while looking at the monsters around the area, tapping the shaft of his hexagonal staff on his shoulder.

Yuuma nodded in agreement hearing the president’s remark.

「Right. Furthermore I still have forty minutes left for my 『Metallization』, and since I have yet to use the power of bloody ore, we still have some leeway.」

「Yuuma, it’s time to go all out! Go and defeat those monkeys, leave the retrieval of the dropped magic ore to me. Remember, your only duty is to defeat all of those monsters, so leave the rest to me.」

「Understood!」

Seeing Yuuma readied himself, Aisha also opened her lips.

「Use your “Super Strength” if you feel the need for it. Don’t worry, we can prolong the activation time with the newly retrieved magic ore. Our goal is to get twenty of them now.」

「Yes!」

Yuuma leapt from their hiding place. He invoked his 『Metallization』 as he ran toward the monsters, turning his body into metal armor.

By the time he did that the several nearby Valis finally noticed Yuuma’s presence.

The monsters then rushed toward the direction of the uninvited invader.

「COME AND TAKE THIS STRIKE!」

Yuuma took a stance. He invoked the ability of bloody ore, making glowing, red coloured blood vessel-like lines appear on his skin.

And unleashed a straight thrust right on the face of the incoming Vali.

His fist nailed straight on Vali’s steel-like body, sending the latter flying back before it fell on the ground, rolling a few times, and finally stopped unconscious.

Another two Valis who were behind the first didn’t stop their advance as they kept rushing at him.

Seeing that, Yuuma crouches down with his hands on the ground. When his muscle tensed, countless long and sharp thorns unleashed from his head, shoulder, arms, and back.

The two valis couldn’t dodge the thorns that came in a flash, and got skewered by dozens of them.

When Yuuma relaxed his muscle, the thorns pulled out from the valis and returned his body to black armor figure, the valis who just got skewered was staggering. But Yuuma didn’t waste such an opening, he nailed a kick on the front most Vali.

That kick sent the said Vali flying, only stopping after it was “Planted” into the rock wall.

Yuuma adjusted his stance again, pulling his fist on his waist. The monster who stood before him was already drenched in their own blood.

He stepped forward, transmitting his force from leg to waist, from waist to shoulder, shoulder to arm. It was the reproduction of a basic martial arts move that he learnt from the president.

「UWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!」

It was a perfect straight thrust that utilized the muscle in his body but the Vali managed to raise their arm to block the punch.

Nevertheless, Yuuma’s punch broke through Vali’s guard, and sent the latter flying behind in a straight line. The poor Vali landed on the ground while raising a roar.

He managed to incapacitate three Valis in less than ten seconds.

――Fuuuuu~ Good, It’s connected. My power, it feels like I can wield it as I imagined!

「Yuuma, don’t let your guard down! Those guys are still alive!!」

Sure enough, the Valis had yet to become sand.

Yuuma approached the closest fallen Vali to finish them off while marveling about the other party’s toughness.

The Vali with a broken right hand barely managed to stand on its own. It raised a bestial roar and rushed toward Yuuma again.

Yuuma parried the incoming left fist, stepping into Vali’s bosom, and unleashed a storm of punches.

Face, chest, flank, he could feel that his punches caused a lot of damage.

Those punches caused the Vali to stagger, Yuuma didn’t let go of that chance and pursued the staggered Vali. He transformed his right hand into a sword and pointed the tip on the monster.

The red, glowing lines on his body shine even brighter, his all out stabbing attack pierced through the steel monster. The Vali had finally raised a death wail as the sword pierced its chest.

The monster hung their head down as their body turned into sand.

「I did it…」

Yuuma came to the point where he could freely adjust the output of bloody ore.

Yuuma felt that this power could become his trump card during the critical moment to turn the table against powerful monsters.

――First one down. There’s two left…

After finishing off the first vali, he approached the other vali, still with the transformed sword-hand.

But then, the other Valis inside the cave had already come down from the cliff due to the previous commotion. He was soon surrounded by more than ten valis.

「Dammit!」

He had no time to defeat each one of them. Yuuma clicked his tongue, wondering if there was a way for him to defeat Vali in a single strike.

He was looking for an opening to launch a counter while dodging the incoming attacks from the valis.

「Dammit, there are too many of the….」

The moment Yuuma frowned, something at the edge of his field of vision caught his attention. It was the “Pickel” that he dropped under the cliff.

――THAT’S IT!

Yuuma slipped through from beneath Vali’s arms, he ran until below the cliff and picked his reliable partner, the pickel.

He turned around facing the incoming valis as he felt the comfortable handle of his ole partner.

At this point, his mastery of 『Liquid Metal Transformation』 was much better than before. That’s why he――

Held the pickel aloof in front of him. The liquid metal was flowing from his hand, enveloping the pickel, gathered on its tip.

It then transformed into a giant hammer.

The pick part’s angle became steeper, the blade part transformed into surface area that could be used to smash his foes. [TL: It’s a hammer, commercial one.]

Yuuma swung down the transformed head of his pickel to smash the head of the incoming vali.

The pick easily pierced through the metal head of vali, killing them in one strike.

He used the head part of the hammer to hit the flank of the two incoming valis. The two valis sent flying, only stopped after crashing into the rock wall.

He raised his pickel overhead, swinging its blade down to the head of another vali who managed to barely dodge the blow with back-step.

Yuuma’s blow smashed the vali’s head along with their body. Another one turn kill.

「HELL YEAH!!」

Yuuma revealed a smile as his reliable partner returned in his hand.
