Charging in an arrow formation, Doraemon and Nobita used air cannons to blast apart the dense ranks, breaking their formation. Like a locust swarm passing through, the scattered dog-headed men were no match at all.
Cheating was exhilarating. A group of primitives using swords were no match for the San-Tiren, who could easily overpower them.
All hundred ax-wielding soldiers fell, and Nobi Hiroshi and the others charged directly to the base of the Giant God Statue.
This ancient stone statue wore a crown, its expression majestic. The crown was inlaid with a huge emerald, similar to the gem in Kenfeike's necklace.
Its upper body revealed strong abdominal muscles, a battle skirt around its waist, and its hands clasped tightly across its chest, like a white dove yearning for peace.
"Everyone, we've arrived! As long as we pass through this stone door, we can enter the Giant God Statue's interior."
Kenfeike said joyfully, pointing to a stone archway several dozen steps away.
But the passage was guarded by numerous soldiers, Saberu was also waiting nearby, leaning on his sword, and there was a perfectly aligned square formation of archers holding the line.
"As expected of the brave warriors found by Her Royal Highness, the saviors prophesied by Baron I. You monkeys truly possess admirable courage!"
Saberu spoke first, his tone not of praise, but rather filled with provocation.
One wondered whether to call him arrogant, or if it stemmed from confidence in his own strength.
"Saberu, deal with them for me!"
The battleship airship arrived belatedly. Dabrandat gave the command, then leisurely watched the show, still believing everything was under his control.
"Fire arrows~"
Saberu said nothing more, simply waved his hand, and coldly gave the command.
Swish swish swish~~~
A rain of arrows poured down, intertwining in the air, emitting piercing whooshing sounds. A dark, oppressive shadow instantly enveloped Doraemon and the others.
Having the experience of being surrounded in prison last time, the group didn't just stand there stunned. Doraemon reacted swiftly, immediately deploying the [Reflection Cloak].
Upon contact with the cloak, the deadly arrows, like butterflies batted away, all deviated from their trajectory and buried themselves in the nearby dust.
The dogs opposite saw this and were stunned, beginning to whisper amongst themselves.
The others were not idle. Shizuka gathered her strength and took the opportunity to throw a mini-missile, successfully sending the dog-pups to meet their great-grandmothers.
The explosion's shockwave swept out, scattering the enemy forces, who suffered heavy losses.
"Boom! Ah! Ah!"
Amidst explosions and screams, the ancient stone doors cracked open one after another. The stone pillars, which originally required the princess's necklace to open, were completely destroyed by the missile bombardment.
"Don't linger in battle, let's go straight in!"
Nobi Hiroshi shouted loudly.
"With me here, don't even think about running!"
Saberu raised his sword to block, chopping down forcefully. He was clearly agitated, completely losing his previous aloofness. His black battle armor cape even had several ragged holes from the aftershocks of the explosion.
He must have been quite a mess when dodging the missiles!
"Cough cough, I'll hold Saberu off, everyone else hurry and activate the Divine Heart!"
Nobi Hiroshi pretended to be a master without looking back. Hikari-Denko gave him a full sense of security.
What if they were masters with full proficiency? We are the ones with Krypton Gold and cheats.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you, Hiroshi!"
Kenfeike glanced back once, then hurried away. She understood the gravity of the situation, unlike the overly sentimental male and female protagonists in movies who make audiences' blood pressure soar, dying together purely because they deserved it.
"You're asking for death…"
"Don't think I won't kill you just because you're a child."
Saberu came at him with his sword, and Nobi Hiroshi easily blocked it with Hikari-Denko.
"It seems I underestimated you…"
Seeing his sword move blocked, Saberu was somewhat surprised. He secretly became fully alert, taking the Zheng Tai in front of him seriously, estimating that the opponent had at least twenty years of swordsmanship cultivation. Otherwise, how could he have taken his attack with a straight face?
The monkey Kenfeike Princess invited had been playing weak, almost fooling him!
Figures intertwined, sword light like water. Saberu's longsword attacked fiercely like a storm, without any hesitation. For anyone else, it would be considered beating up a child.
But Nobi Hiroshi could have Hikari-Denko fight for him!
"One-eyed dog, can you tell me how your other eye went blind?"
"Was it a birth defect? Or was it poked out by a naughty child with a stone?"
Skillfully deflecting Saberu's attacks, Nobi Hiroshi smiled and asked about irrelevant matters.
On the surface, it seemed like he was caring about the other person's physical condition, but in reality, it contained a disdainful mocking tone.
"You stinky brat, shut your mouth!"
Unable to take down Nobi Hiroshi for a long time, and suffering from personal attacks, Saberu completely lost his temper.
After one clash and rebound, he pulled back. Saberu held his sword with both hands, looking like he was about to go all out, which made even Hiroshi feel pressured.
After all, Saberu was an absolute master in his field, and Hiroshi was relying on cheats. It would be very difficult to win using only the defensive Hikari-Denko.
If he couldn't win head-on, then he'd mess with his opponent's mind! A sneak attack from behind was also a good idea.
"Take this!"
Saberu's eyes blazed with fury. The black cape behind him slowly fluttered, and he gripped the hilt with both hands, chopping down forcefully towards Nobi Hiroshi's head.
"Clang!"
The sound of sword blades colliding rang out, accompanied by the scraping and pushing of feet.
Nobi Hiroshi retreated several steps, the tiger's mouth of his sword-holding hand feeling somewhat numb. However, this was merely a feint to show weakness; he still had a trump card he hadn't used.
The two entangled for a long time. Saberu was constantly gasping for breath, his stamina severely depleted, clearly no match for the "eighteen-times-a-night" Nobi Hiroshi.
"It's time."
The young boy pursed his lips into a smile, his figure instantly vanishing from Saberu's front, teleporting behind him.
The reason he hadn't used his superpowers before was to make Saberu relax his guard, causing him to misjudge his full strength, thereby allowing him to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at a crucial moment.
Swish swish~~
With telekinetic pressure, Hikari-Denko, like lightning, stabbed towards Saberu's throat. The fatigued Saberu had no time to react to this unexpected change.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Saberu still instinctively dodged the fatal sword strike, but the sword light still pierced his rear shoulder, causing him considerable injury.
Saberu gritted his teeth in pain, his longsword slashing towards Nobi Hiroshi's wrist, attempting to trade injuries.
"I dodge~"
Nobi Hiroshi reacted swiftly, letting go of the hand holding the sword. Hikari-Denko fell to the ground, leaving him unarmed.
"Hahaha, without a weapon, how can you fight me now?" Saberu spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed maniacally.
What if there was a sudden turn of events? Wasn't he still the final winner?
Saberu endured the pain in his body and walked step by step towards Nobi Hiroshi. Just as he was about to end the duel, a sword's hum suddenly resounded from behind him.
With a flash of golden light, Hikari-Denko shot forward, directly piercing through Saberu's chest, giving him a free, chilling 'heart-piercing' combo.
"How could this be..."
"There's actually a sword move like this..."
Saberu looked down at his chest, his face full of disbelief. How could the sword fly over by itself?
This question was simple, but unfortunately, Saberu would never hear the answer.
Blood gushed out, and his body fell straight forward. His armor hit the ground with a clang. His sole remaining eye narrowed into a slit. He might be sleeping for a long time this time.
"Phew~ It's finally over. I hope you'll be a good dog in your next life."
Nobi Hiroshi slowly exhaled, turned, and ran into the Colossal God Statue to rendezvous with everyone.
"Captain Saberu has been defeated!"
"Captain Saberu is dead!"
On the airship's deck, the soldiers saw Saberu fall, and their morale immediately plummeted.
They never expected that Saberu, the kingdom's strongest warrior, would actually be defeated by a greenhorn and sent to another world for eternal slumber. This undoubtedly brought the morale of Dabrandat's army to rock bottom.
