Selfish Motives

"Mm." Watching Bald Head get the worst of it—oh, no, that wasn't right. Watching Bald Head frantically clawing at Housenki from behind—the Noble Son seemed a little surprised.

That was because he could see that Bald Head's claws really were hurting Housenki. Several chunks of diamond had been directly "dug" out of Housenki.

They had almost exposed the Shikon Jewel Fragments inside.

That was right. Bald Head had planned all of this in advance. Unfortunately... fate had other ideas.

Warrior Girl, watching from a distance, knew her limits. She was well aware that her Hiraikotsu couldn't hurt Housenki's body, which was made entirely of diamond, so she didn't rush into an attack.

Honestly, if it were an ordinary metal "monster," she'd have a few ways to deal with it, such as something that could corrode metal.

But something that could corrode diamond... Well, if Lin Yun hadn't told her about diamonds, she would've only known they were incredibly hard, not that they were so pretty...

Speaking of which...

"Fire, big brother! Use fire against that guy! Diamonds are most afraid of fire." Mm... Was this what you'd expect from a Silly Big Girl taught by Lin Yun?

She wasn't silly at all...

"I know." Lin Yun had known that for a long time. But among everyone there, aside from Bald Head and him, Cow Girl was the only one who could use fire to hurt Housenki.

Bald Head probably knew it too, and as for Cow Girl... How could he put it? While he was "discussing" why Time Stop couldn't be used, Cow Girl had already charged forward.

Meanwhile, the Noble Son narrowed his eyes slightly. "Fire, huh?" He held his sword horizontally. This time, a bolt of lightning burst from his Demon Thunder Strike and slashed toward Housenki.
