"."
After finally managing to stop, the giant snake floated with its feet off the ground, staring at its own hands for a while.
"Tick tock."
His hand was splitting open, and blood flowed from his palm down his skin.
However, the wound healed in the blink of an eye.
He's stronger than I expected.
"Miscalculation."
With a sigh, the giant snake had to admit the truth.
(Even using all of their Noble Phantasms won't work?)
"There's no guarantee it will work perfectly. After all, he's different from those weaklings."
Gaia fell silent upon hearing the response.
I thought I was going to hit an egg, but it turned out I hit a rock.
This put them in a dilemma.
In such a favorable situation, failing to defeat the opponent would mean losing the corresponding opportunity.
(Since we've gone this far, let's just give it a try.)
There's no need to worry about the supply of magic, so Orochi can do whatever he wants.
Therefore, Gaia decided to fight back with everything she had.
They couldn't just slink away like that.
At the very least, we need to figure out whether Caster can harm Assassin.
If Gaia's initial intention was to kill the other party, she has now lowered her expectations.
At least let the other party show signs of injury first, right?
Otherwise, if all we get is a mess, what's the point of talking about anything else?
"understood."
Upon hearing this, the giant snake nodded and then looked ahead.
Saitama remained standing there, completely unguarded, just as before.
Even trying to read his mind yields no useful information.
Forget about guessing their next attack intentions, they couldn't even sense the slightest bit of hostility.
It seemed that this man had never taken him seriously from beginning to end.
What arrogance and rudeness!
In the past, the giant serpent would never have ignored such an arrogant human.
"But you do indeed possess that ability."
Recognizing the opponent's status, Orochi intends to go all out from here on out.
"Now it depends on whether you can maintain this calm attitude."
He gestured and pointed forward.
Based on our previous interaction, Assassins typically do not choose to dodge attacks.
Therefore, this is an opportunity.
The opponent's carelessness gave him the opportunity to kill him with a single blow.
Orochi's skills are not simply limited to fighting techniques.
It even possesses the power of nothingness.
But both of these had already been used on Saitama, and they had no effect whatsoever.
Therefore, at this moment, Orochi planned to use his special ability of "soul extraction".
This move has nothing to do with the enemy's defense; it's purely a method of seizing their soul from their body and destroying them.
Ishtar used this "treasure" to easily kill François.
All living things in the world possess a soul.
Compared to the physical body that can be physically touched, the soul is a more mysterious realm, and few people can actually reach it.
Based on the serpent's experience, there are very few creatures from the birth of Earth to the present day that possess the ability to touch the soul.
But the soul is unlike anything else.
It is the "Po" that resides in the human body.
Losing it is tantamount to losing one's life.
Orochi possesses the ability to easily capture the souls of his enemies, extract them, and destroy them.
He usually doesn't use this move intentionally.
Since he had already dealt with most enemies easily, there was no need to use this particular attack method to kill them.
"Take the move!"
"Humanity."
He darted forward again to approach, but the enemy still showed no sign of moving or dodging.
He simply reached out and grabbed at the other person's chest.
(Success!)
Until his hand pierced the chest, both the serpent and Gaia thought they had succeeded.
really
No matter how powerful the physical body of this heroic spirit may be, the soul is always the most vulnerable part.
Once it is extracted and crushed, it will naturally die.
"what?!"
Saitama looked at the scene with some surprise, as if he was frightened.
This is understandable; after all, it's a bit strange to watch someone reach into your body.
"That's it."
Having accurately pinpointed the location of that "soul," the giant snake smiled and said.
But then his expression froze on the spot.
(What's wrong?)
Gaia noticed that Caster's movements paused, but was unable to react for a moment.
"Snapped!"
But then the hand that was thrown away from his chest revealed the reality.
"How could this happen?"
"His soul"
"Does it also possess the same resilience and strength?"
Stunned, the giant snake didn't know what to say for a moment.
I've captured the souls of many, but I've never encountered anything like this before.
To describe the feeling he had just experienced—a feeling of touching the other person's soul.
That's like trying to lift a mountain with your bare hands.
Unmoved
Let alone catching it, you can't even crush it directly.
this kind of thing
Even the most knowledgeable snake couldn't help but be amazed.
Are there still humans like this?
"You scared me! What kind of superpower do you have?"
"It feels like it's entered my body."
Saitama looked at his chest, then turned to the still bewildered giant snake and asked.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a method.
Superpowers? Ninjutsu? Martial arts?
Perhaps it is a similar power, Saitama thought.
I can't understand their thinking.
