Nagai hurriedly tried to manipulate the magnetic field to resist, but it was too late.
Pfft!
The steel bar drilled straight into his flesh. The intense pain made Nagai let out a muffled groan.
The gap between him and Sato was simply too great!
But he had one advantage that even Sato could not match.
Little Black!
Bang!
Little Black appeared behind Sato and, while he was off guard, sent him flying with a single slap.
Nagai was finally given a chance to catch his breath. He flipped back onto the rooftop and controlled the steel bar to pull free from his arm.
But instead of discarding it, he viciously drove it into his brain!
He had already been at a disadvantage in his clash with Sato. If his arm were crippled as well, he would have even less hope of turning things around.
So he quickly used this time to complete his regeneration and reset his body's negative condition.
Naturally, Sato would not wait quietly for him to finish regenerating. He immediately rushed forward.
But a black figure blocked his path.
Their fists collided.
Bang!
A thunderous impact rang out.
Sato remained where he stood, while Little Black was sent stumbling backward by the force.
It looked as though Sato had gained the upper hand, but his heart was already filled with surprise!
He had not expected Little Black to still move freely during Nagai's regeneration rather than dissipating.
What surprised him even more was that Nagai's Little Black had become vastly stronger and faster than during their last encounter. It was unquestionably among the finest of all Little Blacks!
Meanwhile, Nagai had finished regenerating.
He and Little Black attacked from two different angles.
Faced with their pincer attack, Sato did not panic. Instead, he stood in place and continuously received their attacks.
As though he were experiencing something.
Then Nagai suddenly leaped into the air.
Crackle!!
His five fingers spread wide as terrifying currents burst from his fingertips, engulfing Sato from above.
Current Drive: 50,000 Volts!
"Not bad power, but you are still far from qualified to defeat me! Current Drive: 70,000 Volts!"
Boom!
He threw a ferocious, violent punch, smashing through the web of electricity descending from above.
It shot straight toward Nagai's face!
"Damn it."
Nagai gritted his teeth and raised both arms in front of himself. At the same time, Little Black attacked Sato from behind, trying to distract him.
Bang!
But Sato suddenly turned, evading Little Black's attack. His fist became a claw as he grabbed and yanked, seizing control of Nagai, who was suspended in midair with nowhere to gain leverage.
He brutally slammed him into the ground, then followed up with a savage stomp to Nagai's chest!
Bang!
The concrete floor of the rooftop finally could not withstand the force. Countless cracks rapidly spread across it, and fine snapping sounds grew increasingly dense.
Boom!
Then a huge hole burst through the floor, and Sato and Nagai fell uncontrollably into the hospital building.
At that moment, many people inside the hospital had heard the explosion from above, but none of them knew what had happened.
They craned their necks and kept listening.
Then, just as they did, the ceiling suddenly exploded, and two figures came crashing down.
Even during the fall, the two sides continued fighting without pause.
The shockwaves swept through the area, sending nearby patients flying. They slammed into the walls and slid down, blood pouring from their mouths and noses, their fates unknown.
Arcs of electricity flashed violently, striking nurses nearby. Their bodies instantly charred black as they fell smoking to the floor, even giving off the scent of cooked flesh.
The entire floor instantly descended into chaos. Patients, doctors, and nurses, all terrified, ran outside.
Meanwhile, people farther away thought something exciting was happening and tried to squeeze inside to see what was going on.
Stampedes kept occurring, and the number of casualties soon exceeded those directly caught up in the fight between the two.
Nagai knew he could not keep the battlefield here. He charged desperately into a nearby ward, smashed through the window, and jumped outside.
The ground was about fifty meters below, but that was nothing to Nagai.
His feet hit the ground with a heavy thud, leaving a sunken crater beneath them from the impact.
But just then, a crisp clank sounded beside him.
Instinctively, Nagai looked toward the sound and saw that it was a grenade!
Bang!!
It exploded violently.
Yet what appeared before Nagai was not a shockwave, shrapnel, or flames.
It was endless blinding light!
And deafening noise!
It was a flashbang.
By then, the people in the hospital had mostly been evacuated. While Nagai and Sato were fighting, a large number of SAT members had surrounded the area.
They had learned from last time's lesson and prepared countermeasures.
As they used flashbangs to temporarily disrupt Nagai, they pulled their triggers.
Ratatatat!
Ratatatat!
Firepower instantly blanketed the area.
But these were not metal bullets. They were specially made reinforced glass rounds.
Although they could not break through Nagai's defenses right away, they still caused him unbearable pain.
At that critical moment, a bolt of lightning descended from above.
Boom!
It struck directly among the SAT forces. Electric arcs crackled and exploded, spreading outward from Sato.
Even though the SAT members wore upgraded insulated combat suits, the shockwave still sent them sprawling in all directions.
"This is a battle between him and me. Why are trash like you interfering again?"
At the same time.
Using his own methods, Tozaki Yuu was closely monitoring the battlefield. When he saw this scene, he angrily slammed his fist onto the desk.
He was not angry at Sato's arrogant attitude. He was angry that the SAT members had indiscriminately included Nagai in their attack range!
He had clearly just reported that he had reached an agreement with Nagai Kei!
He had only just successfully recruited Nagai.
If this incident caused Nagai to become alienated from them, dealing with Sato would become even harder!
He hurriedly called the minister.
"There is nothing I can do about this either. The order came directly from the Cabinet. Sato has finally shown himself, and they intend to finish everything in one operation!
But I believe the fully prepared SAT will certainly avoid repeating their previous failure and take down the enemy!
Tozaki, there is no need for you to worry. Doesn't he still have a younger sister? Rest assured, even if SAT fails, once this is over, explain things to him and he will understand you."
After hanging up on the minister, anger flashed through Tozaki Yuu's eyes.
"Bastards!!"
Those old men who had occupied high positions for so long were still far too arrogant.
The minister's words had also laid out an escape route for Tozaki. The meaning was obvious: if Nagai developed resentment over this matter, they would directly use Eriko to threaten him.
Yet for some reason, Tozaki Yuu, usually so calm and rational, did not agree with this decision at all. He even felt furious and resistant toward it.
Buzzz!
The sound of helicopter rotors echoed overhead.
At the same time, engines roared from both sides of the street.
More troops had already finished assembling.
Sato, who had just dealt with a group of SAT members, suddenly turned and stretched out his hand.
A specially made reinforced-glass sniper round shattered against his palm.
It could not affect him in the slightest.
But SAT's original purpose was not to kill him.
It was only to suppress him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After several more flashbangs, smoke grenades appeared.
A large number of SAT members wearing gas masks surrounded the entire hospital.
The smoke grenades contained a great deal of neurotoxin. Just a little exposure would instantly anesthetize even an elephant and bring it down.
Caught off guard by a tactic he had never seen before, Sato nearly fell for it.
As the SAT members slowly advanced toward the hospital, they suddenly saw movement in the smoke, as though something were rapidly running through it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They fired without hesitation, but hit nothing.
Bang!
Then several bloody holes appeared in the abdomen of the foremost SAT member, and his entire body was lifted into the air.
What followed was a massacre.
One of the SAT members became extremely agitated as his comrades were killed by an unknown monster. In the haze, he caught sight of black creatures!
A large number of black creatures!
