Cleaver Of Sin

Chapter 1193: Punch [GT Ranking Bonus Chapter]

But it was a pity. A pity because despite how powerful the Chunibyo ability was, Acker Holloway didn’t even know he possessed it. He merely thought he was naturally blessed as a follower of Buddha.

One can only wonder if he really deluded himself into thinking he was a Crownstar Life Ranker, would he break through to the Life Rank? And how long would it take to get to that stage?

Acker moved. He didn’t even tap into his Astra Energy like his opponent; his physical strength and speed were enough as he blocked with the staff, a tumultuous shockwave erupting outwards in a compressed ring of wind. As he blocked, he moved for the kill as the staff spun in his hand once more, as it slammed into the Wavestar’s ribs with immense blunt force.

The Soldier shot sideways as he had blocked at the last split second by channeling Astra Energy at the point of contact. But that didn’t stop him from taking damage as his four ribs shattered while he skidded sideways. The moment he came to a stop, his knees dipped forward as he shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

His ability activating, but before he could even attack with it, Acker was already upon him, his golden staff rising towards the sky like a towering pillar. Then he brought it down upon the Soldier’s waist with a face filled with pain and covered in tears.

"Amitabha."

Acker Holloway uttered as his staff met the Wavestar Life Ranker’s waist with machine-like accuracy and maddening intensity. His staff tore through the man’s waist, tearing him perfectly through with pure blunt force.

Acker Holloway spun his golden staff as the blood on it splattered to the ground. He stood for a moment, then turned to the Soldier he had just killed and said a one-second mental prayer for Buddha to accept his soul.

Acker turned away from the corpse, his black eyes focusing on the battlefield. Seeing the injuries the Soldiers from the Frontier were acquiring during their battles, Acker decided to act.

His Astra Energy came alive as his feet left the earth, as he floated into the air. With a booming sound, his Astra Energy surged through the sky, covering everything within a thousand kilometers as he pushed his Astra Energy to great limits.

He clasped his hands as he prayed for the Soldiers of the Frontier.

"MAY THE BLESSING, LOVE, AND GUARDIANCE OF BUDDHA BE UPON YOU ALL, WHETHER BELIEVER OR NON-BELIEVER!"

His voice echoed across the entire battlefield as though the world itself was amplifying the sound, even though he spoke in a low tone.

Nothing happened for a second, but the moment passed, the sky shook as the clouds began to change color, turning from white to pure golden as the sky soon became bathed in golden light. From the golden sky and clouds, golden beams poured downwards, hitting the bodies of all Soldiers from the Frontier.

Injuries were healed instantly, limbs were regenerated, organs were regrown, those who had lost their eyes or were even poisoned were restored, and with that, hundreds of thousands of Soldiers were healed to a perfect state.

But their stamina and Astra Energy weren’t restored, as those were never part of Acker’s intentions.

Acker raised his head to the fading golden sky. He was happy that Buddha had answered his prayers and come through.

How could he be the Priest and Healer of the Hero Party if he couldn’t heal a few minor injuries?

Soldiers didn’t have the time to thank Acker. They had all heard his prayer, but they couldn’t say anything and could only thank him in their hearts.

With Acker’s prayer, a Voidstar Life Ranker set her eyes on him and shot forward, abandoning her own opponent to end him before he changed the rhythm again or did anything outrageous.

Acker was officially fucked.

At another direction, Saitama was battling a group of Soldiers. Any attack sent towards him was met with nothing but his fist.

A sword slash? Punch it.

A spear thrust? Punch it.

A Lightning bolt from the sky? Punch it.

A large fireball capable of erasing kilometers? Punch it.

A woman? Punch her.

A man? Punch him.

Anything that moved against him only met his gloved fist, then crumbled under the force of a single punch.

A Firmstar appeared from the side, thrusting his rapier towards Saitama’s chest as he moved to kill. Saitama took a step, his fist shooting forward as he met the tip of the rapier without fear of injury. As fist met rapier, the rapier shattered like a twig, Saitama’s punch didn’t stop as his fist met the woman’s chest. With a battering force, her entire upper torso was blown off.

Her lower torso stood in place as it bled.

Four attacks closed in from the front, the back, and two sides, each made of four various Elements. But Saitama remained unbothered. He simply raised a hand and punched downwards, his fist not meeting the ground but the air itself.

The wind barrier stretched inwards like a trampoline before it tore apart, then shattered as the atmospheric pressure collapsed in totality, a shockwave erupting in screaming madness as it slammed into the four attacks with frightening power. The compressed shockwave and controlled atmospheric pressure shattered all four attacks with ease.

They exploded outwards, the attack consuming everything within a couple of kilometers, heat climbing to a ridiculous degree, while smoke, dust, debris, and steam churned. Through the churning smoke, Saitama walked out with an indifferent expression.

The moment his eyes met the four who had sent the four attacks, he appeared before one of them in a burst of speed. The moment he appeared, his fist sang upwards as he met the man’s jaw with an uppercut.

Before the impact could shoot the body skyward, force acted first as the force behind the fist exploded the man’s head. But before blood could splatter against Saitama’s dark green Cadet uniform, he was already gone, leaving an afterimage in his location.

He appeared before the second, a woman, his fist shooting outwards as he reduced the power behind his attack this time, as he unleashed ten punches at once.

Liver. Left Kidney. Right Kidney. Right Lung. Left Lung. Pancreas. Heart. Fallopian Tube. Spleen. Intestines.

Ten punches, ten internal organs torn apart into minced meat as the woman’s corpse now possessed holes riddled in it. Before the corpse could hit the ground, Silverleaf Junior was already upon the third.

He appeared before the man, his fist coming down as he punched the man’s skull from the top of his head before the man could even blink. The man’s head sank into his neck, his spine crumbling under the force as his neck and head sank into his internal organs until he flattened.

The fourth person was already ready before Saitama even got to him. His Flame Affinity came alive again as he moved to burn Saitama.

But before he could even send out a burning torrent of flames, Saitama’s hand flashed in a black blur like a sword as he severed the man’s hands from the elbow with the side of his palm in a martial chop.

As the man was about to scream, Saitama punched his throat with calm force. Blood shot backwards with force as a gaping hole tore open in the man’s neck.

Saitama turned and walked away, not even tapping into the abilities of his Physique even once nor using any of his Martial skills, as these weaklings weren’t worth it.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Today is this shameless author’s birthday. Muahahaha.

Well, I shall shamelessly ask for birthday gifts, since at the end of the day, birthdays simply mean you are one step closer to your grave.

So, any gifts are welcome and are most definitely appreciated.

Also, we are ranked 13th at the moment, about 90 Golden Tickets away from the next rank.
