The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World - Chapter 111

Himiko laughed.

“You’re an actual idiot. In that case— Try to crush me as you wish.”

At the same time she spoke those words Himiko’s body began to glow.

And then– The little sister got attacked by the same technique and Abeno Kaguya got hit earlier.

Side: Morishita Maria

The omnidirectional opening magic attack that was launched.

It’s possible that if I was in Second Burst where I haven’t abandoned defense I would’ve been able to endure the attack.

But the result is all of my defenses were broken through.

Hence I’m laying on the ground..

“Kufufu”

Himiko’s right hand is on my neck.

And then, she moves her empty left hand to my left hand.

“I already said this earlier. I like this way of torture!”

I know that.

That’s why I received the attack on purpose since I thought this would happen.

“Fuhaha! How do you feel being beaten to death by a shaman?”

That’s right, this woman that should’ve grabbed me by the neck kicked me instead.

Even if I’m in Full Burst it’s not possible to win up front.

Honestly, it was a gamble… But, I won the bet.

With a half smile I spit Himiko’s face.

“Fufufu. Is this your last resistance?”

She avoided my spit and laughed happily.

I smiled triumphantly at her.

“You don’t understand… do you? You’re nothing but a huge amateur.”

“Fumu? Amateur, you say?”

Himiko cocked her head in wonder.

“I’m saying that you don’t know the meaning at all of such as grabbing the neck of an martial artists–”

Right now what I can do is—

That’s right, the first technique that was drilled into me by Maki-ane.

—Hey, Maria-chan? If your neck is being held… Grab the other arm with both of your hands.

—And then, rotate your body with your body’s full weight and twist the opponent’s arm in the direction of rotating.

—When you do so, glue yourself to the side of the elbow of the arm being twisted. When it becomes like that—Be aware to hold the side with both hands. Then at the same time, the opponent’s wrist and elbow will be locked. This technique is just like holding your opponent’s arm under you own—

–Is called armpit lock. The foundation is simple. And then since it is simple it’s the strongest— In this current world’s existing martial arts, the most popular joint lock!

“Joint…?”

A bewildered expression appeared on Himiko’s face.

“Everyone’s feelings, everyone’s regrets— I’ll dispel them with Maki-ane’s technique!”

Generally, magic barriers work only on the surface of the body.

Therefore… This joint locking technique works almost in all cases on the body and becomes a blind spot to the enemy.

But, that’s why even if you go against stronger opponents there’s a chance of winning.

—Hey, Maria-chan? If the joint locking is magical then it is a blade from a different dimension. It’s impossible to deal with at first look. That’s why in a personal fight… Use it.

Un, Maki-ane. If it’s me, I can do it. After all, you taught me properly… I’ve practiced tens of thousands and thousands times this technique. That’s why, I can lock the joints of my opponent in less than 1 second if I can grab my opponent’s hands.

“Unveiling aggressive technique! The aim is the wrists and elbow joint!”

“Wha!?”

–Hey, Maria-chan? Lock the elbow and wrist joints perfectly. As for later, you know what to do, right? Hesitation is not necessary in the battlefield.

“Un, I understand Maki-ane! After that, I’ll use my opponent’s wrists and elbows as supporters for my body weight and magical power… and then I’ll throw them to the ground with full power! This a sure-fire—locking technique… No—”

For me to break her wrists and elbows, I need to use all my power and use my weight on Himiko’s wrists.

And, at the same time— *Creak* Himiko’s wrists squeak.

“Gu…nu!? Gu!!!? Gunuuuuuuu!? We’re battling in a sanctuary… and this locking technique is damaging me!? Impossible, Impossibleeeeeee!”

“This is a fang created for defying fate by Magical Girls who got persecuted by people! It’s the basics of basic, here I come! Certain death!”

And then, I roared like a Mad God.

“Magical Arm Lock!”

“Gu….Gyaaaaa!”

And Himiko’s right wrist got snapped and made a sound like breaking a twig, and I destroyed her elbows in succession.
