"It's him!"
The Mystic Armor Giant, over three meters tall, made Taro Sword - Daigo's eyes light up. He couldn't help crying out:
"He's the one who killed the Foster Family's youngest son!"
Earlier, Karl had worn a cloak that hid his features, making it impossible to see what he looked like. Now, in this form, he was unmistakable.

His Battle Qi surged forth again, and
