CHAPTER 125 - Cutting the Nature Type

As the voice fell, with a single step, Rosen soared like a fierce dragon beneath the ninth sky, diving toward a building within the city walls, behind him gathering at least a hundred yellow sand swords. 

"Hundred Sword Kill!" These hundred yellow sand swords were stronger than usual, condensed in a manner similar to the Yellow Sand Absolute Cut, though the amount of sand condensed was not as terrifying as the Absolute Cut. It was not that it was impossible; it just required longer preparation. 

Moreover, since it involved remote manipulation, if the condensation was too strong, he could not control it freely and could only grasp it himself. 

Upon arriving above the building, without any hesitation, the hundred swords shot down like a barrage, producing a thunderous roar that echoed all around, instantly shattering the house into rubble, while the ground also cracked significantly. 

From one of the fissures, the Fog Red Beast roared and pounced, moving at incredible speed, slapping directly towards Rosen. Feeling the terrifying wind pressure, Rosen's gaze turned cold. 

With his left hand, he formed a sand sword from golden sand copper, while his right hand formed a fist. As the Fog Red Beast lunged, Rosen punched out, colliding directly with its massive palm. Both forces were immense, able to easily pierce through a small mountain. 

In that instant of collision, a strong shockwave radiated out, creating an explosive sound that drew the attention of all nearby people and the crazed zombies. 

"Roar." As the beast's paw failed to crush its prey, it let out a reluctant roar. Its mantis-like arms extended fiercely, and a tremendous force erupted from its palms, nearly knocking Rosen back. 

Fortunately, Rosen had never underestimated this creature. 

"What a pity, so much combat power wasted," Rosen remarked. 

The sand sword in his left hand swung towards the Fog Red Beast's head. Anyone with quick reflexes and clear intentions would not dare to approach after seeing that a weapon had formed in Rosen's left hand. 

While the Fog Red Beast was strong, it had already lost the most fundamental human rationality. Even though it now exhibited some human-like emotions, it was still primarily driven by the urge to kill. 

Swoosh! The golden sand sword swept across the Fog Red Beast's neck but failed to sever its head. In that instant, the Fog Red Beast exploded into mist, dissipating. 

After all, Rosen couldn't grasp its physical form with his overwhelming presence. It could still control the mist to escape the range of death. 

However, Rosen had confirmed that this creature retained only some instincts, which was enough for him. 

"Earth Roll. Sandstorm." Rosen performed a Soru, rapidly landing on the city wall, placing his hand on the ground to sandify the wall. After all, the area of their battle was sufficient to crush any zombies attempting to approach, so he was unafraid of the wall's destruction. 

The sandstorm roiled violently, forming a ferocious dragon's head that devoured the mist in mid-air. 

Boom! But just as it swallowed, the Fog Red Beast went mad, having to reform itself, slashing through the sandstorm with a single claw. 

In the moment it reformed, Rosen performed a sand shadow stealth, instantly appearing behind it and delivering a Haki-covered punch aimed at its head. 

Bang! The Fog Red Beast attempted the same tactic, vaporizing its body, but unfortunately, this was a strike enveloped in Haki. 

The punch struck the mist as if it had hit a solid form, but once it was vaporized, it became impossible to distinguish its front from its rear. 

This strike hit the Fog Red Beast, but only struck its left shoulder, piercing through directly. However, Rosen was dissatisfied; if it hadn't vaporized, striking its head would have ended the fight. 

It seemed that the Nature Type Fog Red Beast was not so easy to deal with after all? 

"Haki Gun!" Rosen shifted from a fist to a finger, covering it in Haki, and thrust it toward the Fog Red Beast's head. Fear washed over its face; this human was too strong. 

It had no time to dodge, and as it had just reformed its mist, it required a moment to explode and expand. 

Sounds of its bones shattering echoed as bone fragments rapidly grew from its mantis arms, encasing its head. 

Rosen's finger pierced through but only shattered those bony structures; they were too hard, being the monster's life-saving defense. 

The powerful thrust struck its head, sending the Fog Red Beast crashing down to the ground, creating a deep pit. 

"Roar." The Fog Red Beast emitted a mad roar as it stood up from the pit, and with its roar, a cyclone of mist swirled toward Rosen. 

"Desert Great Sword." But before it could strike Rosen, a surge of sand rose from the ground and sliced through it at a distance. 

"Let me have some more fun." Rosen grinned savagely and charged forward with a fist like a gust of wind, while the Fog Red Beast rushed toward him at high speed. 

Bang!

The large and small fists collided. Rosen's Haki had become more proficient, now covering most of his shoulder, as he continually utilized Haki to rapidly enhance his strength. 

Because Haki had just awakened, the initial improvements were very easy and quick. Even minor progress yielded significant gains, making it one of the fastest ways to increase power. 

"Roar!" The Fog Red Beast's fist was directly hammered down, causing it to scream in pain. It wanted to retreat as mist rose, but Rosen closed in and unleashed punch after punch on its body, although hitting its head was not easy. 

After all, no matter how foolish the Fog Red Beast was, it definitely prioritized defending its vital areas. 

But now, with Rosen suppressing it, it found it hard to make any moves. 

Boom, boom, boom!

The Fog Red Beast was kicked like a ball by Rosen, flying toward the building, and just before hitting the ground, Rosen used a Soru to close in and punched down into the solid earth, resulting in a miserable outcome. 

The Fog Red Beast's strength conservatively had a bounty of over 300 million; it was not weak, yet it lacked the battle awareness that a being should have. Its use of power was all straightforward, making it too easy for Rosen to handle. 

"Is the Fog Red Beast really this weak?" The city lord rushed over from a distance, leading warriors centered around Alice to form a defensive and offensive formation, looking at the brutalized Fog Red Beast with confusion. 

This creature had lingered near their doorstep for several years without being eradicated; it shouldn't be this weak! 

"It's not that the Fog Red Beast is weak, but that the outsider is too strong, possibly even at the level of Lady Queen," Alice said heavily. 

She had thought herself very strong, so she had previously looked down on Rosen, but now this man demonstrated even greater power, leaving her feeling somewhat embarrassed yet filled with respect. 

They had been isolated for too long and did not know what the outside world had become. Could it be that powerful people out there were as numerous as the stars? 

"At the level of Lady Queen, that's impossible?!" Hodeman shook his head; until now, no one had seen the Queen fighting with all her might. 

"I wonder where Lisa met this person." Alice gazed at Rosen, slightly lost in thought. Even at her peak, she couldn't have suppressed the Fog Red Beast like this. 

"It's over. Haki Diamond Burst Finger Gun!" After Rosen wreaked havoc on the Fog Red Beast, he found an opportunity. 

Golden sand copper condensed into his right finger, with his Haki fully concentrated, it enveloped the metallic sand, albeit only covering the range of a single finger. 

But it was enough to prove that his Haki had progressed. 

Then, with a thrust, he pierced through the Fog Red Beast's head, obliterating it, unable to withstand even its bony defenses. 

"Is it dead?!" 

"Random heavy task completed, random task reactivated..." 

"Still not at four hundred million strength; if it had a will, it might have been possible, what a pity..."
