Chapter 233 : Hungry Wolf: I will not back down!
Before his words even fell, Garou stomped his feet fiercely, his entire body turning into an afterimage, instantly closing the distance to Superalloy Darkshine!
This offensive was a hundred times fiercer than the probing strike he had just delivered!
The essence of Bang's personally taught "Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist" had long been ingrained in his bones, and at this moment, he unleashed it to its absolute maximum.
Fists, palms, elbows... every part of his body transformed into a lethal weapon, with every attack aimed directly at the human body's vulnerable joints and vital points.
However, the person he faced was Superalloy Darkshine, the S-Class Hero renowned for his defense!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dull thudding sounds echoed within the empty room.
Superalloy Darkshine did not move.
He did not even make a single unnecessary movement.
He simply stood there quietly, his gaze calmly fixed on the man before him, allowing the torrent of attacks to rain down entirely upon his body.
Garou's fists struck his chest, but aside from stirring up visible white ripples of air, they had no effect whatsoever.
Garou's hand-blade tore through the air, precisely slicing at his neck.
However, with a "clink," Garou felt as if his palm had struck solid rock.
The immense counter-shock caused intense pain in his finger bones, while not even a faint white mark was left on Superalloy Darkshine's neck.
Superalloy Darkshine simply stood there, using his tempered physique to forcefully endure all of Garou's attacks.
A minute later, Garou's figure suddenly leaped backward, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath.
The wounds on his body had reopened due to the strenuous movement, and blood dripped onto the floor from his body.
His face was pale as paper, but the flame in his eyes burned even more intensely.
"Why..."
Garou's voice was hoarse, filled with uncontrollable anger and confusion.
"Why won't you fight back?!"
From the minute of exchange just now, he could clearly feel how unfathomable the opponent's strength was!
The durability of that physique was far superior to his own.
If the opponent wished, it would likely only take one punch to knock him unconscious in his current state!
Yet, from beginning to end, the opponent simply stood there, allowing himself to be attacked.
This kind of disregard was more insulting than any fierce counterattack.
Garou stared intently at the mountain-like man before him and said, "Are you looking down on me? Or do all you so-called S-Class Heroes only know how to take a beating like cowards?!"
"Your injuries are too severe."
Superalloy Darkshine finally spoke. He looked at the blood-soaked, rapidly breathing Garou with a complex expression.
"Your body has reached its limit. Every attack you made just now exacerbated your injuries and drained your remaining vitality."
"What you need right now is not battle, but rest."
His tone was calm, devoid of mockery or pity.
In his view, fighting someone who could barely stand was meaningless.
However, these words sounded incredibly grating to Garou.
"How... condescending..."
Superalloy Darkshine's words instantly ignited Garou's fury.
He suddenly began to laugh softly, the sound hoarse and dry. It started low, then grew louder and louder, finally turning into maniacal laughter filled with self-mockery and madness.
"I don't need anyone's pity! Especially not from self-righteous Heroes like you!"
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the metallic taste rising in his throat. He felt his body nearing collapse, yet there was no trace of regret or retreat in his eyes.
From the moment he decided to hunt Heroes, he had stepped onto a path of no return; every battle was a life-or-death struggle where he staked everything!
"What I seek is Absolute Evil! An existence that can make everyone feel fear! Fear does not need pity!"
Before his words were finished, a new surge of strength unexpectedly erupted from his already crumbling body!
He charged again!
"Put away your cheap sympathy! Show me your true abilities, Superalloy Darkshine! Let me see just how hard those muscles you pride yourself on truly are!"
This time, during the charge, Garou's body posture underwent a strange transformation.
His left hand, fingers together, palm facing down, traced a gentle arc, generating a ripple-like force—it was precisely Bang's personally taught "Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist"!
Meanwhile, his right hand, fingers splayed, created an air-tearing force—it was clearly the ultimate technique of Bang's older brother, Bomb: the "Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist"!
The left hand was like water, focused on deflecting force and defense; the right hand was like wind, focused on penetration and attack!
Two completely different, top-tier martial arts were simultaneously executed by Garou on his own body in an unbelievable manner!
Facing Garou's distinct yet astonishingly powerful attack, a trace of seriousness finally appeared on Superalloy Darkshine's face.
He could feel that this strike carried a slight threat.
He no longer simply stood still; instead, he slightly lowered his stance, crossed his arms over his chest, and instantly tensed all his muscles!
"Superalloy Double Arm Guard!"
Boom!
The two distinct martial arts collided with the impenetrable guard.
Dull impact sounds rang out successively.
Garou's Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist continuously attempted to wrap around Superalloy Darkshine's arms, guiding his strength and disrupting his balance.
The Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist, meanwhile, stabbed toward the gaps in Superalloy Darkshine's defense from the most cunning angles.
Superalloy Darkshine relied entirely on his refined combat instinct and unparalleled physical strength to block these attacks one by one.
The dynamic of offense and defense shifted rapidly, and the small room was filled with the afterimages of their exchange and surging air currents.
After another fierce clash, Garou was forced back several steps by the immense counter-shock, and Superalloy Darkshine also took a half-step back for the first time before steadying himself.
Superalloy Darkshine lowered his head and glanced at his arms; they still shone with a dazzling luster.
But he knew that the opponent's technique during that instantaneous exchange had forced him to take things seriously.
He lifted his head and looked at Garou.
That man was clearly exhausted, his body swaying precariously, as if he might collapse the next second.
But his eyes were astonishingly bright.
There was no pain of reaching his limit, no fear of death, and certainly no hint of retreat or wavering.
All that remained was a single-minded obsession, pure to the extreme.
A crazy yet firm conviction that he must shatter the mountain before him, even if it meant being utterly destroyed himself.
It was those eyes!
He felt as if he had seen them somewhere before.
Superalloy Darkshine's thoughts involuntarily drifted back a few months.
