Destroyer or Savior

The rough battle between the heroes had taken a rough turn for the heroes as all their unconscious bodies were scattered on the ground. Even Sparror resting body cast out a wavering flame cloth that incinerated the entire armory surface, spawning his naked human form with a disgruntled expression.

While The Distrunian corpse staggeringly bloomed half-naked body of Gunvalian previous form that was dampened by jade blood on the whole grey skin. However, a significant difference occurred from the usual healthy state.

Half of Gunvalian's face presented a grass-green skeletal part and on the left stomach part there was a darker tone, green ribs widely opened. The Distrunian also exhaled a burdensome throat from his throat as he tried to wake up the lower part.

Another injured difference occurred when Gunvalian's feet began to touch the ground, a jade skeletal surface occurred on the left elbow of his with rotten skin on the side acting as the frame. All of those that The Distrunian injured only boiled up the thrilling smile of his.

Afterwards, Gunvalian finally bypassed the rotten body of his prime self and he celebrated the return of his previous form with a chilling grin. A grin that he locked to the most desirable target, the naked Hatoshi who was still trapped in an unconscious state.

The Distrunian gazed down at his opened palm, flickering jade electricity that rapidly dimmed out on the roasted-irritation wrist. Gunvalian reluctantly closed his eyes and gleefully chuckled as his whole body staggered like a drunk person from left to right.

"Even though I lost my prime self again, at least I can do something interesting," Gunvalian uttered with a thrilling tone through his mind.

Gunvalian began heading onto the unconscious Hatoshi and dropped down his predatory stare. As The Distrunian feet were already in the near sight of the schoolboy, he swiftly hauled him on the neck like a priced prey.

"Before I destroy this wonderful planet, let's absorb his power again." Gunvalian gladfully spoke within his mind. "Because it will be one of the most satisfying moments that I ever had for retirement, especially draining his power till he died."

"To do that, I must find a new place because thanks to The Ozmonian, he is completely shutting it down," Gunvalian added with an irritated tone,

Then, Gunvalian shook his head cheerfully for prolonging the mind mumbling, "Also, The Ozmonian did a good job on shutting down most of my power."

All of sudden, a blazing flame shone through Gunvalian stomach, shackling a slightly shocked frown onto him. Then, The Distrunian has harshly pushed away, freeing Hatoshi from his gripping clutch by a single flaming blast on his knuckle

Sunlight-yellow energy brightly embarked through Hatoshi's naked body as he stood with a clenching fist and sharp-confident look. Confidence encouraged the schoolboy to press his elbow even though his vision went blurry temporarily.

"Hatoshi, even though The Distrunian already got weakened, you still need to be careful especially with your current state." A telepathic voice of Mistress Foreseen entered Hatoshi's mind with a discontentment tone.

Hatoshi sheepishly chuckled as he began to speak telepathically, "I am aware that the awakening card only gave me a little amount of my power especially….that I couldn't transform into my Superhero suit and...teleportation, also creating a construct too."

"But, at least I can still fight with my power, which is a good thing," Hatoshi added. "Also, I'm probably going to let this...flaming cloth initiate the Shaolin martial art I watched before."

"As I already said before, be careful too."

"I know, I know."

At first, Hatoshi gazed down towards his hand that being enveloped by the blazing cloth gave him a skeptical furrow. However, the schoolboy blew the sorrowful feeling with a single sigh of relief.

Then, Hatoshi took a peak of relief through Agano who was still imprisoned in an unconscious state especially since there wasn't any sign of movement detected. The schoolboy nodded with a thankful demeanor due to the yellow energy from the paper card remaining intact with him.

"Also Mr.Agano, other thanks...for the awakening buff," Hatoshi murmured through his mind with a serene smile.

Afterward, Hatoshi gave a confident, battle stare towards Gunvalian as he hoisted the blazing fist in front of his chest. A line of tears began to fall from his eyes, watching the terrifying grin of The Distrunian before he washed away with a tranquil smirk.

Shining Picture of Yuna smiling flashed through Hatoshi's mind for a moment, sending a pleasant wind through his smile, It also smoothly let the schoolboy move the blazing fist right in front of his face.

Gunvalian with a curious frown raised the knuckle that was strapped with the soft, jade energy field towards his awakened prey. Furthermore, The Distrunian intriguingly chuckled as he witnessed the iron-hard expression of fighting Hatoshi, especially in this current state.

A firework of excitement sparked through Gunvalian's delightful mind as he closed both of the punching grips. The Distrunian even glanced from afar onto his fallen allies that included Doctress Domination, Jakon, and Hollow peacefully rested in their defeated state.

Both fighters traded their battle stare with one another as they were ready to finish one another. Gunvalian gleefully laughed when he pinned his eyes towards the skeletal ribs, filling up the delightfulness in his heart.

Afterward, The Distrunian perceived the predatory stare towards Hatoshi as encouraging him to take a step closer for a declaration. A declaration of continued their intriguing duel especially on determining earth's fate.

"Maybe facing this young man can also be another memorable moment for retirement," Gunvalian spoke through his mind with a thrilling voice.

"Especially his determination and his willpower that only impressed my thrill of killing him from inside out," Gunvalian added.

The Distrunian initiated the first move by plunging a fist towards the steady Hatoshi, dropping his jaw like a hungry wolf. Luckily, the schoolboy swiftly landed the blazing-cloth fist on Gunvalian's jaw at a rapid speed.

The gulp of jade blood fled from the jaw as Gunvalian staggered in reverse and endured sudden dizziness. The Distrunian giggled in bitter relief before he declared another turn of charging punch, accompanied by a burst of distorting laughter.

The flaming cloth on Hatoshi's knuckle fluidly dashed his whole body to the right, letting the fist hit a humid air. An opportunity for a strike was grasped by the schoolboy as he let loose a flaming-bulky gauntlet into an uppercut position.

With a flame of desire torched on Gunvalian wildest, excited grin, he lifted his ankle onto Hatoshi's stomach. The uppercut indeed hit the clear target due to The Distrunian shakingly retreating, but the schoolboy held his bruised stomach before he forcefully vomited out red blood from his throat.

Jade's blood had been split up to the ground after Gunvalian received the swift uppercut and calmly witnessed the schoolboy exhale a burdening breath with his injured stomach. Hatoshi lifted his head to get a clear picture of The Distrunian filling up the sadism through his ever-expanding grin.

Hatoshi glared at the enveloping, yellow aura that slowly shrunk down and gave him a fainting stagger. A giddy feeling influenced the school boy's mind as he softly touched his forehead.

Therefore, the schoolboy clenched the blazing fist till a sound of bone cracking screamed to the whole room. Strong-hold determination clouded his anticipating eyes as Hatoshi calmly awaited another attack from The Distrunian.

The anticipation of attack quickly entered Hatoshi's sight with him witnessing The Distrunian thrust the jade knuckle that being empowered by striking jade energy. The schoolboy clipped another chance of dodging due to the flaming gauntlet pushing him away.

However, The Distrunian smoothly steered the empowered fist to the Hatoshi rib, creating a crushing blow. The schoolboy screeched and forcefully closed his eyes in unyielding pain before the flaming knuckle blasted off a flaming projectile.

The projectile rammed Gunvalian precisely on the jaw that forced him to walk away from Hatoshi's sight. The Distrunian held his jaw as his body floundered and puked out a gulp of fresh, jade blood to the floor.

While Hatoshi tightly clasped the injured rib of him that forced him to kneel and bit his lips till it spawned a line of blood for holding the scream from breaking free. He constantly exhaled a burdening air as his sight darted towards Gunvalian who was ready to declare another round of strike.

The schoolboy slowly got up and held the rapid-pounding chest that caused him to laugh in a crazed tone. A surge of blazing light embarked through his flaming gauntlet with a sharpened furrow of determination.

A furrow that acted as a greeting when Gunvalian charged forward like an obsessive predator was close to getting the killing hit for the victim. Hatoshi happily chuckled before he roared a prideful scream and declared a rushing intercept with the blazing gauntlet upheld.

Thus, Gunvalian drew the empowering fist onto Hatoshi's jaw accompanied by a distorting, burst of laughter. The schoolboy quickly propelled a blazing knuckle projectile towards The Distrunian chest.

At the same time, Hatoshi let his jaw become a free hit target for Gunvalian's jade fist, freeing a large drop of blood to the scenery. The schoolboy with unyielding stagger sluggishly moved in reverse before he fell into a duck position.

While The Distrunian was pushed afar by the blast and like his prey, he vomited out a huge chunk of jade blood. Vomiting kept ongoing and showered the metal ground till The Distrunian decided to jab the chest with a punch.

Therefore, no more blood was spilled from Gunvalian side and he slowly gazed down his chest that blew a molten smoke surrounding his body. The Distrunian could only chortle in satisfaction as he began to glare in thrilling demeanor towards Hatoshi who sluggishly regained a steady stand.

Hatoshi with an aching breath, tightly clenched the blazing knuckle till a drumming sound of cracking bone sang to the room. Scorching sunlike light blazed through the flaming construct knuckle.

The schoolboy sighed in bitter relief as he pinned the heedful sight on the comfy, yellow energy that became half transparent. Hatoshi closed his eyes in deep franticness as his other hand fearfully trembled

Hence, Hatoshi continuously shook his head as he opened his eyes to survey the surroundings. The fellow defeated heroes such as Southern Shield, Chemistra, and Akushijo from afar were all captured by the school boy's open sight, sparking up the confidence within his smile.

Blazing knuckles soon scorched a flame that was similar to the depth of the sun and it got brighter the more Hatoshi broadened the smile. A smile he centered towards The Distrunian who charged at his distance accompanied with the trumpeting laughter of distorted voices.

Firstly, Hatoshi gleefully chuckled with the striking Gunvalian, ready to plunge his empowered fist. Eventually, The schoolboy rushed with a soaring scream of proudness that roared through the whole secret base.

Moreover, Hatoshi hoisted the blazing gauntlet for entering a new chance of intercepting as he continued to run. The flaming gauntlet that had been with the schoolboy side initiated a shimmering light for preparing an upcoming explosion as a flash of flame danced on the whole room.

Thus, a glamouring blow echoed out loudly to the whole room and the result of the current attack was presented. Both of the fighters reluctantly received each other's strongest attack.

The jade punch landed on Hatoshi's cheek that clicked a drumming sound of neck snap being snap and a gulp of blood fled from his mouth. While for Gunvalian, he went into a shocking paralyzed state due to his chest recently receiving an explosive projectile that vanished in less than a second, leaving a heated smoke.

Afterwards, the schoolboy fell to the ground with both the flaming gauntlet and the enveloping yellow aura dissolved into nothingness in the blink of an eye. The Distrunian also vomited out a sprinkling jade of blood from his throat as he could feel the everlasting heat on the chest before his stance crumbled down, forcing him to lie down.

Therefore, the battle of determining Earth's fate had finished with both fighters didn't give any sign of movement. A gleaming smile of happiness swiftly took the center stage of the unconscious Hatoshi as he not only saved the world or defeated the most dangerous threat he ever encountered, he also couldn't wait to once again meet his close partner.
