Chapter 34
A Narrow Victory
The deafening sounds of battle, like muffled thunder, came from afar, causing the walls of the abandoned warehouse to tremble slightly.
Xiao Mian, who should have been obediently waiting for Yun Yu to return, couldn't sit still any longer. She peered out through the crack in the warehouse door, her little face filled with worry.
Risa stood beside him, also looking in the direction of the sound, her eyes filled with unconcealed anxiety, but they were too far away and the dust was thick, so they couldn't see anything.
Xiao Mian clutched the hem of his clothes, wanting to rush out several times, but he stopped himself. Yun Yu's words before leaving still echoed in his ears. He bit his lip and suppressed his impulse.
Yu, standing nearby, tugged at his sleeve: "Tsutomu! Let's go watch the news on TV! They're sure to have live coverage of monster attacks like this!"
Xiaomian suddenly realized what was happening and immediately grabbed Risa and Hirama Yu, carefully running towards the convenience store across the street. On the large screen at the entrance of the convenience store, breaking news was playing, with the camera focused on the battlefield behind the school.
The continuous bombardment lasted for a long time before Chaogobu finally stopped his energy blast offensive.
The billowing dust slowly dissipated, and the battlefield, shrouded in ruins, finally revealed its outline once more.
Amidst the thick smoke, Sirius's figure emerged with difficulty.
He did not fall.
The giant knelt on one knee amidst the rubble and broken stones, one hand gripping the ground tightly, the other hand held horizontally in front of him, barely forming a thin, almost transparent barrier.
The color timer on his chest had turned completely red, and the piercing alarm echoed all around.
Once he confirmed that the monster had temporarily stopped attacking, Sirius loosened his grip slightly, and the shield that had been barely holding up slowly dissipated.
He gritted his teeth and used the last of his strength to try to stand up, but as soon as he lifted himself up a little, his knees buckled and he could only kneel heavily back down to the ground.
As expected, these elite monsters, evolved through wormhole energy mutations, are simply incomparable to ordinary monsters like Golza, Melba, and Rechubas.
They're not even in the same league.

Just as he was pondering a countermeasure, Super Gob in front of him looked up again, and the crystal on his forehead suddenly shone with golden light, a new round of golden destructive light bullets was ready to be fired.
There's no time to rest!
Sirius tensed up and, without hesitation, erected another barrier. However, now that he was seriously injured, this barrier was far less stable than before.
A barrage of golden light projectiles rained down, each impact causing the shield to tremble violently and its surface cracks to expand.
Having withstood only a few attacks, the already shattered shield was on the verge of collapse and could crumble completely at any moment.
Sirius knew perfectly well that if he continued to passively endure the attack, he would be instantly killed by the subsequent light blasts the moment the shield shattered.
In dire straits, he no longer held on to the bitter end.
Just a second before the shield shattered completely, Sirius exerted his strength and forcefully tore the collapsing barrier inward.
The complete barrier instantly collapsed, turning into countless sharp and pointed fragments of light.
Without wasting a single moment, he swung his arm sharply, flinging out all the sharp light shield fragments, which flew densely towards Chao Gobu!
Upon seeing this, Chao Gebu immediately stopped charging up, and two thick golden light bullets burst from his forehead, accurately shattering all the flying light blade fragments.
It was that brief moment of gap in the interception!
They managed to buy Sirius the most precious breathing time.
Taking advantage of this hard-won respite, Sirius no longer hesitated, enduring the excruciating pain and weakness throughout his body, and suddenly lunged forward.
The red light of the timer on his chest flashed wildly, and the piercing alarm pierced the heavens and earth, as he squeezed his body's potential to the limit.
The opposing super-gob never expected that the giant on the verge of defeat could launch a counterattack. Enraged, it raised its massive, heavily armored scythe and slashed it down at the charging Sirius, intending to end the battle with one blow.
Just as the scythe was about to fall, Sirius precisely threw out the barrier fragments he had deliberately saved.
Sharp, solid blade fragments of light shot through the air, accurately hitting Chao Gobu's joint soft spot!
Clang!
A crisp striking sound suddenly rang out.
Its swinging motion abruptly stopped, the heavy sickle stuck in mid-air, completely frozen in place.
It was that moment of stiffness that gave him the opening!
Sylius pressed his advantage without hesitation, unleashing a sharp and precise crosshair!
The light blade struck with pinpoint accuracy, slamming into the dent in the chest armor that had been created by the flying kick.
The already damaged and cracked armor instantly shattered into large sections, and the deep tissues of the body were severely damaged by the energy.
Chaogobu let out a shrill, painful roar, his massive body trembling violently.
But Sirius's offensive was far from over. He pressed closer, gathering all the remaining energy in his body into his right fist.
A dim, silvery-red light condensed to its extreme in the center of his fist. Despite his energy being nearly depleted, it unleashed the most domineering power in the face of dire straits.
The next instant, a powerful punch was unleashed!
The powerful punch slammed precisely into the dented hole in the monster's chest!
A muffled boom pierced through his body!
This punch actually tore through Super Gobu's layers of armor and flesh, completely piercing through its massive body!
The fist pierced through the seam of the monster's back, even carrying fragments of the monster's internal organs.
In an instant, all of Chaogobu's roars, struggles, and energy circulation ceased.
It stood frozen in place, its limbs limp and powerless, the ferocity in its eyes completely gone, having lost all vitality and ability to move.
Sirius did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he steadily withdrew his fist that had pierced through the monster's body, and without pausing, turned and walked away.
Just as he turned around—
boom!!!
A massive burst of flame shot into the sky, and Chao Gobu's enormous body exploded completely!
Armor fragments and debris flew everywhere with the explosion, and the violent shockwave swept across the entire ruined battlefield.
Smoke billowed up, obscuring half the sky.
The battle is over.
Sirius, standing still, swayed slightly in the gale, his broken body still flashing wildly on his chest. His exhausted body could no longer hold on and was about to collapse. Just as he was about to fall, he turned into particles of light and vanished.
Yun Yu was left lying on the ground unconscious, and for some reason, the second star in the Sylvia star chart on her chest began to flicker faintly.
Xiao Mian, who should have been obediently waiting for Yun Yu to return, couldn't sit still any longer. She peered out through the crack in the warehouse door, her little face filled with worry.
