King, who had witnessed this scene, furrowed his brow deeply.
The moment Yamato made her move, he already knew Who's-Who's fate.
After all, he had seen Yamato challenge Kaido before.
So, he was all too aware of Yamato's true strength.
But he never expected Who's-Who to be defeated so quickly—it was almost pitifully one-sided.
While he had anticipated the outcome between Who's-Who and Yamato, he truly hadn't foreseen what happened with Ulti and Sasaki.
He would never have guessed.
Ulti, who was much younger than Sasaki, was actually overpowering him in their fight.
Now, both Sasaki and Who's-Who were at a disadvantage.
Their defeat was only a matter of time.
Once their battles concluded, he would find himself facing a one-against-three situation.
Just Lancelot alone was enough to make him tremble with fear.
If Yamato and Ulti were added to the mix, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape!
"Hey... You dare to be distracted while facing me? Who gave you the nerve?"
King was so lost in his thoughts that he failed to notice the changes in his surroundings.
That voice jolted him back to reality.
Though the tone sounded calm and unruffled, to King, it was like a bolt from the blue, startling him so much that his heart nearly leaped out of his throat.
In an instant, a chill ran down his spine, his hair stood on end, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
What terrified King even more was that Lancelot had somehow silently appeared right beside him.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he desperately tried to recall how Lancelot had gotten so close, but his mind remained blank.
At that moment, King's nerves were stretched to the limit, and his entire body went into a state of high alert.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Just as King became aware of the danger, Lancelot had already launched his attack.
He abruptly raised his right leg and swept it toward King with overwhelming force.
The kick was heavy and swift, like a massive whip slicing through the air, accompanied by a sharp, whistling sound.
"Not good!" King exclaimed, his expression instantly turning grim.
However, Lancelot's attack caught him completely off guard, leaving him no time to react.
At the critical moment, King instinctively crossed his arms tightly over his chest, hoping to block the impending strike.
But just as he completed the motion, Lancelot's lightning-fast leg struck him with unstoppable force.
For a moment, it felt as if the entire world had frozen.
Then, a deafening, thunderous impact echoed through the sky, startling the surrounding birds and beasts into a frantic scramble.
Amid the tremendous noise, King clearly felt an overwhelming, tsunami-like force surging toward him.
Under the impact of this unstoppable power, King was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut, completely out of control.
His speed was so astonishing that it left onlookers dumbfounded.
The path he took was marked by a violent shockwave.
Whether it was solid walls or towering trees, everything in his way shattered and crumbled under the immense force.
Finally, King hurtled all the way to a small hill over three to four hundred meters away.
By then, he was unstoppable, crashing into the hill like a cannonball with earth-shattering force.
Another thunderous roar erupted as the hill, once as solid as a rock, was nearly half-destroyed by the impact.
In an instant, debris flew in all directions, and a thick cloud of dust blotted out the sky.
Countless rocks, large and small, tumbled down the slope with a deafening rumble, as if doomsday had arrived.
Meanwhile, King himself had been deeply embedded into the mountain, vanishing without a trace.
The entire scene was a chaotic mess, shocking and horrifying to behold, sending chills down one's spine.
BOOM…
Immediately after, another deafening roar erupted, like a thunderclap splitting the sky, echoing throughout the entire space.
In that very instant, Yamato's enormous, gleaming spiked club descended with the force of a thunderbolt, crashing mercilessly into Who's-Who's abdomen.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
Who's-Who's previously composed expression instantly twisted in agony.
His eyes widened, the pupils nearly bulging out of their sockets.
In his gaze, a flicker of despair was unmistakably visible.
Yet, even in such a hopeless situation, Who's-Who was not one to surrender easily.
With a low growl, he shouted, "Tekkai!"
As the words left his lips, a powerful aura surged from within him.
In mid-air, Who's-Who's muscles tensed, and his entire body instantly entered the Tekkai state.
Simultaneously, streams of dark energy, like coiling serpents, continuously emerged from his body, swiftly coating around his abdomen.
In the end, they formed a seemingly invisible yet indestructible armor, tightly shielding his vital areas.
Thud…
In that split second, Yamato's lightning-wreathed spiked club, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the heavens, descended with devastating thunderous force, striking Who's-Who's abdomen with brutal impact.
A dull, earth-shaking thud reverberated, as if the very space trembled under the force.
Under such a terrifying impact, Who's-Who's body instantly curled up like a shrimp struck by a heavy hammer.
His rapid backward flight was abruptly reversed by the immense force, sending him plummeting downward like a falling meteor.
Boom…
Accompanied by a deafening roar, Who's-Who's body crashed into the hard ground like a heavy bomb.
In an instant, dust billowed and debris scattered, revealing an enormous crater before everyone's eyes.
Who's-Who was deeply embedded in that massive pit, his fate unknown.
Even more astonishing was the aftershock of the strike, which spread outward like turbulent waves.
Wherever it passed, the ground fractured, and a web of shocking cracks rapidly extended in all directions.
If one were to look down from above, they would clearly see that, centered around the crater where Who's-Who lay, the ground within a two-hundred-meter radius was densely covered with a spiderweb of fissures, as if the very earth teetered on the brink of collapse.
This alone demonstrated just how terrifying the power of Yamato's strike had been!
