Chapter 34 - Chapter 34: Gaining the Upper Hand!

"You guys talk too much nonsense."

Impatient, Linlin swung her fist and smashed it towards the four of them.

Seeing Linlin take the initiative to attack, the four immediately scattered. In an instant, each occupied a direction, surrounding Linlin in a pincer formation.

"I'll go first!!"

"Golden Sword-Lion: Hybrid Form!!"

Knowing Linlin's terror, Roge didn't probe at all. Golden fur sprouted all over his body, and his original height of two meters began to grow rapidly.

Two sharp fangs grew from the corners of his mouth, and a long tail with a spike trailed behind him. Soon, his size soared to a massive four meters.

Almost the same size as Linlin.

"Crushing Claw!!!"

Pitch-black Armament Haki coated Roge's body. Under the sunlight, the dangerous cold light flickered beneath his giant claws.

The sonic boom of tearing air rang out as Roge, moving instantly, slashed a claw down at Linlin.

"Roge, that's not enough!!"

Linlin didn't move an inch. Using Observation Haki to predict Roge's attack, she simultaneously reached out and grabbed Roge's arm.

"Oh no!!"

Experienced as he was, Roge swung his lion tail at the critical moment. Like a snake, it quickly wrapped around to Linlin's back and stabbed ruthlessly towards her spine.

Clang—

Linlin neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the lion tail to stab her body, producing the sound of metal clashing.

"Roge, you can't break my defense."

Gripping Roge's arm, Linlin exerted force suddenly, executing an over-the-shoulder throw that smashed Roge heavily onto the ground.

Dust flew instantly, smoke rising everywhere.

"Don't forget about me!!"

"Ghost Stab!!"

Black Shadow's figure vanished, reappearing like a ghost at Linlin's side. The pitch-black short blade in his hand was extremely dangerous, looking as if it was about to pierce Linlin.

"Black Shadow, your tricks are useless against me!"

Facing Black Shadow's attack, Linlin still didn't dodge. Only when he got close did she throw a punch.

The fist shadow expanded continuously in his pupils. Black Shadow's pupils constricted slightly, daring not to take it head-on.

His figure turned into darkness and vanished strangely again, causing Linlin's fist to hit nothing but air.

"What a troublesome ability!"

Linlin spat unhappily. Black Shadow, who specialized in assassination, posed no threat to her at all.

But his ability was too weird; it wasn't easy to land a hit on him either.

"If I can't hit that guy, I'll hit you first!!"

Linlin's eyes widened in anger, locking onto Hajrudin instantly. He was the largest target here, and also the clumsiest.

"Hajrudin, that's for stealing my strawberry cake last time."

"Eat my fist!!"

Linlin clenched her small fist and charged towards Hajrudin with heavy steps.

"Linlin, I won't hold back!!"

The pride of a giant warrior gave Hajrudin the courage to fight with all his might, even against Linlin.

Hajrudin swung his larger fist, meeting her head-on.

BANG!

Stomp, stomp, stomp.

Stomp, stomp, stomp.

As their fists collided, a massive force surged into Hajrudin's body, causing his expression to change drastically. He retreated uncontrollably.

Only after sliding back dozens of meters, leaving a deep trail on the ground, did he stabilize himself. His face was somewhat pale, and his aura began to destabilize.

"Oh? You didn't fall down. Looks like you've improved a lot since last time."

Linlin waved her pink fist, looking at Hajrudin with some surprise.

Last time, one punch had knocked Hajrudin flat.

Just then, thunder exploded. A giant thunderbird let out a bestial cry, diving down from the sky above Linlin.

"Jace, I hate your lightning." Linlin looked up and snorted coldly, immediately condensing Armament Haki armor over her body.

Although ordinary lightning attacks couldn't break her physical defense, they gave her a numbing, tingling sensation that made her whole body uncomfortable.

Linlin shattered the thunderbird with one punch, the faint lightning gradually dissipating.

Failing with one move, Jace wasn't discouraged. Stronger, thicker lightning surged around him.

Hovering in the void with his arms spread wide, Jace had become the Lord of Thunder. Surrounded by lightning, bolts as thick as bowls struck down at Linlin continuously.

The storm-like lightning attacks sealed off all of Linlin's retreat paths.

"Domain of Lightning!!"

"Linlin, accept the baptism of thunder!!"

Jace laughed loudly, his body shining with white light.

"So troublesome!!"

Thunder crashed down boldly. Its immense power blasted deep pits into the ground one after another, leaving scorched marks all around.

Linlin moved and dodged, constantly changing her position to avoid the lightning attacks.

"Jace, you think I can't hit you, right??"

"Watch how I deal with you!!"

Linlin snorted coldly. Waving the longsword in her hand, countless wind blades flew out. The powerful wind blades tore through the thunder, slashing towards Jace.

In mid-air, Jace's expression changed slightly. Linlin's slash, infused with Armament Haki, was not something to be trifled with.

Fortunately, weakened by the thunder, the slash had lost much of its power by the time it reached him, and he dodged it easily.

"Use full power! Use your killer moves! Otherwise, we're no match for Linlin!!"

Roge, having recovered his combat strength, charged in again.

While slashing two consecutive claw attacks at Linlin, he leaped into the air.

"Highland Fangs!!!"

With a roar, the two fangs at the corners of Roge's mouth elongated to half a meter. His crimson beast eyes locked firmly onto Linlin as he dived down fiercely.

Black Shadow, hiding in the dark, understood instantly and revealed himself.

"Nether Assassination!!"

His speed reached the extreme, leaving afterimages in the space. Even with Linlin using Observation Haki, she could barely track Black Shadow's trace.

Facing the attacks from both, the corners of Linlin's mouth curled up slightly.

"I told you, your attacks can't break my defense at all."

Linlin, covered in pitch-black Armament Haki, looked contemptuous. Let alone using Haki now, even her raw physical defense wasn't something these two could breach.

Ignoring Linlin's ridicule, the two continued their charge.

"You two, attack now!"

During the process, Roge roared, increasing his power again, and Black Shadow did the same.

Linlin frowned tightly, swinging both fists to meet their attacks head-on.
