Water and Sky

Bruno, who was outwitting the hunter-like woman in the red dress, suddenly stopped. After hearing a wolf howl, the Fairy Tale Dragon in front of him vanished.

Sullivan was equally taken aback. She was fighting the little girl in the red dress, who was exceptionally skilled in close combat, and Sullivan couldn't defeat her for the time being.

But just as she thrust her sword forward, the little girl vanished into thin air, leaving Sullivan momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Sullivan and Bruno's opponents are two puppets controlled by the red dress. It is using the puppets to block Tatsuki's attacks and is about to engage Tatsuki in close combat.

The woman in the red dress's actions played right into Tatsuki's hands. As the saying goes, "A lifetime of guns," Tatsuki hadn't been familiar with spears for very long. Compared to the Trident, she preferred her own fists and feet.

Releasing the golden Trident, Tatsuki unleashed an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible, undercurrent kick at the woman in the red dress. Like an underwater current, before she could even react, the woman in the red dress was struck in the face.

"Sorry, I almost forgot I shouldn't have kicked you in the head."

Hearing Tatsuki's almost mocking words, the woman in the red dress suppressed her anger and launched a frenzied attack on Tatsuki. With claws slashing, picking, and stabbing, fangs tearing, and joints colliding, the woman in the red dress used her own body as a weapon to launch a fierce attack on Tatsuki.

The woman in the red dress knew perfectly well that there was a terrifying being behind her whose magic far surpassed her own, and that only the human woman before her offered her a chance to escape.

As for Tsuna, after the three puppets blocked Tatsuki's previous seawater thrust, they surrounded him under the control of the Tsuna in the red dress.

Don't underestimate these three puppets; they possess combat skills no less impressive than those of the woman in the red dress. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to toy with Bruno and Sullivan for so long.

The three puppets' combined attack on Tsuna was airtight, because the red-dressed girl controlled them all herself. Whenever one attack stopped, another puppet would immediately take its place, giving Tsuna no chance to catch his breath.

Unfortunately, the Tsuna in his Cloud Attribute state. Purple flames erupted on his upper body, and even his arms could multiply. Once the six-arm mode was activated, Tsuna held a weapon in each of his arms.

With his swift, short-range attacks, Tsuna effortlessly subdued the three dolls in the red dress.

The red-skirted woman, being the owner of the doll, was well aware of its state. She kept wondering what kind of monster it had encountered, while simultaneously increasing her attack on Tatsuki.

However, as the attack rounds progressed, the red dress suddenly realized that no matter how fast it sped up its attack, it could not break through Tatsuki's blockade.

Tatsuki's defense was like ocean waves, layer upon layer, each wave higher than the last, and Tatsuki's combat power was gradually increasing.

Don't forget that Tatsuki's power is at the third stage of Flash Cry. Although she gave up the Trident, the amplification effect of Poseidon on her has not disappeared.

It could be said that the red dress's choice to engage in close combat suited Tatsuki's intentions perfectly. Conversely, if the red dress had chosen to swing her claws at mid-range or unleash her Dragon Breath from a distance, Tatsuki, who had not yet fully mastered the Trident, would have had a difficult time dealing with it.

Now that they were engaged in close combat, Tatsuki wouldn't let the woman in the red dress go. The waves of energy accumulated layer upon layer in Tatsuki's punches and kicks, and now was the time to unleash them.

Raging Sea!

The high-density attacks of punches and kicks felt like endless waves crashing against her body with each impact. The woman in the red dress felt pain all over her body. How could a human's fighting ability be so much stronger than hers?

The red-skirted figure couldn't take it anymore. It didn't bother with Tsuna anymore and quickly summoned the three puppets to its side for a final desperate attack. If the four of them attacked together, there might still be a chance.

The idea was wonderful, but reality was cruel. The three dolls had just appeared next to the woman in the red dress when they were dragged away towards Tsuna their Chains.

In other words, despite all her efforts, the woman in the red dress was still all alone. She was in pain and smacking her lips, wanting to curse. Since she couldn't form a gang up on the doll, it was better to fail at the summoning. At least she wouldn't have to witness the doll's despair as it was dragged away.

What should she do? The woman in the red dress frantically tried to think of a solution. She couldn't escape the disguise for the time being, and the puppet was unreliable. Gravity was all that was left, but the woman's gravity ability simply increased gravity. It couldn't exert force from all directions like Tsuna's Ground Flame, nor could it be condensed into an attack method.

The red dress gave a sad smile, as if it had no other choice; all it could do now was protect its abdomen from a fatal wound.

But Tatsuki's offensive pace was still escalating. The woman in the red dress knew she couldn't hold him off for long; was that the only option left?

Having exhausted all other options, the woman in the red dress chose the move she least wanted to use: a wolf's howl pierced the heavens and earth, breaking through the layers of dark clouds set up by Tsuna, and the moonlight once again shone in the darkness of London.

Upon seeing the moonlight, the red-dressed figure underwent a violent transformation, uncontrollably expanding rapidly until it finally transformed into a ferocious wolf the size of a stadium, covered in blue fur with only a few red markings on its back. The three puppets transformed into three fangs and returned to the red-dressed figure's mouth.

The Werewolf True Form, the Fairy Tale Dragon who is the progenitor of evil dragons, is actually a dragon in her red dress. However, because her weakness is in her abdomen, transforming into a dragon would be too conspicuous.

In addition, given her penchant for playing with and teasing objects, the woman in the red dress often appears in disguise, with a size similar to that of a human.

But the red dress could no longer maintain its human size; if it waited any longer, it would truly be beaten to death by Tatsuki's endless, Raging Sea.

The woman in the red dress, now transformed into a giant wolf, unleashed a blood-red Dragon Breath at Tatsuki. The Dragon Breath carried a strong, bloody stench, the remnants of the creatures devoured by the woman in the red dress.

Tatsuki raised her hand and gestured towards the Trident. The Trident flew into her hand and spun rapidly. Thick seawater formed a shield in front of her, blocking the attack from the woman in the red dress.

However, Tatsuki was clearly not proficient enough in using the Trident. Her shield was obviously unable to block the Dragon Breath in the red dress and had been suppressed.

The woman in the red dress was having a great time spraying things, completely forgetting that there was another person not far away. A spiked mace slammed into her head, and she almost bit her tongue off.

The Dragon Breath was forcibly stopped, Tatsuki hurriedly swung his Trident, converting more spiritual pressure into seawater reserves.

What hit the red dress on the head was a grown-up Roll. Faced with the Fairy Tale Dragon Tsuna, he did not choose to stand idly by, but prepared to take action together with Tatsuki.

"Its weakness has been exposed. Make your move, Tatsuki."

London turned dark again, and the moonlight that the woman in the red dress had cried out was once again obscured by the clouds. Tatsuki rose into the clouds, and Tsuna understood. The vast sea covered the streets of London, and in that instant, the area where Tatsuki was located became a water city.

The woman in the red dress, unaware of what was happening, cautiously surveyed her surroundings.

Did you know? The sea has no color; what determines its color is the sky!

The woman in the red dress suddenly looked down at Tatsuki Tatsuki, who was speaking, but couldn't find him at all. His voice came from the seawater at her feet, as if Tatsuki were speaking from underwater.

The red-skirted creature judged that the dragon was being deliberately mysterious, because it itself had a penchant for deception, which was why it didn't believe the Tatsuki's words until it saw the pattern on the water's surface.

Layer upon layer, clouds drifting and rolling, patterns of the sky reflected on the water's surface—everything makes perfect sense, yet why does the woman in the red dress feel such intense unease?

It must be a problem with the sky. Compared to Tatsuki, the red-skirted creature preferred to target the more powerful Tsuna in the sky. It didn't care and just looked up and breathed Dragon Breath into the sky.

The crimson light pierced through the thick clouds without causing any harm; instead, it deepened the red dress's unease—there must be something in the sky.

Finally, under the watchful eye of the woman in the red dress, it noticed the fangs bared in the sky, countless enormous spikes falling towards it.

Above the clouds, Tsuna used his Cloud Attribute flame ability to multiply a large number of spikes from his Floating Cloud Tonfas, each as large as a skyscraper, all of them like fangs aimed at the red dress.

With just one glance, the woman in the red dress knew she could survive those spikes; they looked fierce, but they weren't without a way out.

The red fur on her back began to spread all over her body, and the red dress quickly transformed into a giant red wolf. Disguise, and more disguise, using the red dress to disguise her powerful defensive abilities.

The red dress was fearless, even howling loudly at the sky, challenging Tsuna to create such a huge scene, yet he was still helpless against it.

The sharp spikes falling from the sky pierced the woman in the red dress. Just as she had expected, she felt some pain, but it wasn't fatal.

It looked up and waited, hoping that the moment Tsuna emerged from the clouds, it could seize the opportunity to bite and kill this powerful opponent!

The red dress, which was always looking up at the sky, didn't notice that sharp spikes were reflected on the water at its feet, just as it was focused on Little Red Riding Hood in the fairy tale, ignoring the hunter who could kill it.

With a series of splattering sounds, bloody holes appeared on the woman in the red dress. Her entire body was covered in sharp spikes, which were pointed upwards, not downwards.

When one of the spikes pierced the weak point in the red dress's abdomen, its defenses were completely ineffective. It was pierced by countless spikes that emerged from the water's surface, and before it could even lower its head to look at the water that had taken its life, it breathed its last.

From the very beginning, Tatsuki had already told the red-skirted girl the mystery: the color of the seawater comes from the sky and reflects the sky's appearance.

This is a combined technique between Tsuna and Tatsuki, "Water and Sky".

Only Tatsuki, who is associated with Fullbring and Tsuna, can perfectly mimic Tsuna's attacks using the water's surface. From the very beginning, the crisis facing the red dress was not just from the sky.

The sky and the sea are one, forming that gaping maw that devours all, snapping the red dress in two with a single bite.
