The sensation of being overwhelmed by a technique they themselves created felt incredibly strange to both Bang and Bomb.
At this moment, their mindsets were clearly affected.
However, they didn't have the luxury to dwell on it.
The rapid barrage of fists was targeting their vital areas—one moment of carelessness, and they could be struck down.
Though they fought as a coordinated team, it was difficult to withstand Yami's relentless attacks. Their bodies were forced back, unable to hold their ground like they had before.
If things continued like this, it was only a matter of time before they would lose.
"I can't keep holding back like this, Bang! If we wait too long, we'll be finished!" Bomb shouted.
"Yeah, let's give it everything we've got!" Bang replied.
The brothers' long-forged bond allowed them to understand each other perfectly with just a glance or a simple movement.
In unison, their fighting spirits flared up.
"Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist!!!"
A deep, resonant roar echoed through the battlefield.
In the next instant, their attacks rained down like a storm.
The air trembled, and even the ground beneath their feet quaked slightly, making the scene all the more terrifying.
The critical factor was the sudden shift in their techniques. By unleashing their hidden skills, the speed and ferocity of their attacks reached an unprecedented level.
Even Yami's eyes widened in surprise.
Bang's Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist tightly enveloped Yami, leaving no openings for escape. At the same time, Bomb's Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist unleashed its devastating power.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yami's body was pummeled by a barrage of blows.
The sheer force of the strikes cracked the air and reverberated through Yami's body.
The shockwaves were so intense that the ground around them splintered, forming deep cracks that spread outward.
Debris scattered everywhere as clouds of dust billowed up from the devastation.
Even from a distance, Sitch and the others could clearly witness the chaos from the sky.
However, the smoke and debris obstructed much of their view, so they couldn't fully make out the details of the battle.
But the general situation was clear.
Charanko, watching from afar, couldn't contain his excitement and was already grinning from ear to ear.
"Awesome! Master Bang and Master Bomb really are the strongest!" he exclaimed with unrestrained joy.
Sitch, on the other hand, remained silent, his eyes fixed on the fierce battle unfolding atop the mountain. His expression was unreadable, as though he didn't want to miss a single move.
But deep down, he wasn't entirely convinced by what he saw.
Could a man who defeated the powerful "Tornado of Terror" really be held back by Bang and Bomb working together?
Though Sitch wasn't an expert in combat, he could still analyze the situation to some degree.
Moreover, Artemis, the goddess who had come with Yami, was still standing there calmly, making no move to intervene.
No matter how intense the battle grew, she seemed completely unaffected.
That fact alone was enough to raise suspicion.
"Mr. Bang, hang in there!" Sitch silently urged in his heart. "Even if you can't defeat him, at least show the strength of the Hero Association! We can't be looked down upon!"
Of course, no one else was aware of his thoughts.
In the midst of the battle, things had reached a critical point.
The combined secret technique of the two brothers was immensely powerful—far beyond anything they could achieve individually.
With this move, even the toughest metal would be torn apart with ease.
"HAAA!!!"
With one final, devastating strike, their combined momentum exploded outward.
Yami, like a kite with its string cut, was sent flying. His body turned into a black blur as he shot backward, soaring far beyond the mountain where the dojo stood.
Boom!!!
Yami crashed into a distant mountain but didn't stop there.
He tore through several more peaks in quick succession before finally vanishing into the side of a tall mountain, leaving no trace.
Rocks and debris tumbled down from the mountain, raining down like a storm.
If they weren't in the mirror dimension, the falling rubble alone would have caused a massive disaster.
But even now, everyone present was witnessing firsthand what it meant to see a battle between the strongest warriors.
Calling the brothers a human-shaped nuclear bomb might seem like an exaggeration, but at the very least, they were capable of leveling a city single-handedly.
It's thanks to fighters like them that ordinary people can survive relatively safely in a world where monsters appear so frequently.
"Hah! Hah! Hah!"
Bang and Bomb stood where they were, panting slightly.
"It's been a long time since we used our combined secret technique. It really takes a toll!" Bomb said.
But looking at the result, it seemed to have worked.
"Thanks for the help, brother."
"Don't celebrate too soon, big brother. The fight might not be over yet!" Bang cautioned.
Unlike Bomb, who was eager to celebrate, Bang remained vigilant.
Having been defeated by Yami once before, he knew all too well how tenacious his opponent was.
Yami wasn't someone who would go down easily.
And although there was no concrete proof, Bang was certain Yami still had many hidden techniques that he hadn't yet used. There was no way this fight could be over so quickly.
"Brother Yami is definitely not a man who can be brought down by something like this, especially when he defeated someone like Tatsumaki!"
"You're too cautious, Bang," Bomb replied, waving off his brother's concern. "That young man is strong, sure, and neither of us could take him alone."
"But after being hit by our Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist? Even if he isn't dead, he's definitely injured."
"And after that, do you really think he'll still be a match for us?"
Bomb's confident analysis seemed sound, and Bang had no real way to argue against it. But for some reason, a sense of unease lingered in his mind.
"Even so, we should remain careful, big brother. Brother Yami is no ordinary foe."
Just as the words left his mouth, the distant mountain peaks exploded.
Rocks shot into the sky as a black silhouette emerged, shrouded in dust and smoke.
