Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At that moment, Luya was completely enveloped in golden and red streams of energy, his cold expression making him look like a god of war!
His muscles were clearly defined and slightly larger than before, brimming with explosive power!
In truth, Luya was still very worried. Transforming into Super Saiyan 2 and then using Kaioken had never been done before. Even Sun Wukong could only use it while in Super Saiyan Blue!
He had already been practicing Kaioken in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He had insisted on maintaining it while in Super Saiyan form, and even with his Super Saiyan talent at its peak, it had taken him half a year to master this sevenfold Kaioken!
Otherwise, with his talent, his strength might have been far greater!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
[Beep! Host has successfully used Kaioken. Side effects will now be calculated from zero! Current side effects: +1...]
The system's voice rang out in his mind, making Luya pause in confusion. "System, what do you mean?"
System: "The Kaioken the host obtained doesn't come with side effects from the start, like Sun Wukong's. It has no side effects at first; they only accumulate when the host uses it!"
Luya was stunned. Then he burst with joy. "Does that mean I can maintain this form indefinitely?"
System: "In theory, yes. Although Kaioken has no side effects, it consumes an enormous amount of ki. In the host's current state, he can maintain it for ten minutes at most!"
Ten minutes!
Luya's eyes narrowed. That might be enough!
His combat power while using sevenfold Kaioken had now reached 11,375,000,000,000!
That was right! He had gone from over one trillion to more than eleven trillion!
Whoosh!
A golden figure appeared in front of Luya. Before he could react, a sharp pain struck his face. The next instant, he cried out and went flying, crashing into the sea!
It was Frieza who had attacked. Hovering in midair, he looked down at the water and chuckled. "So you thought I was weak? You actually dared to let your guard down in the middle of a fight?"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a column of water shot skyward. Luya flew up from the sea, his aura undiminished. Looking at Frieza, he smiled. "Come on!"
Frieza's face twisted into a snarl, and then he vanished like a cannonball!
Luya disappeared in an instant. The next moment, shockwaves erupted through the air as the two clashed fiercely!
"These two are evenly matched!" Krillin exclaimed as he watched the fight.
"No! On the surface, Frieza has the clear advantage!" Piccolo said, narrowing his eyes as he kept his gaze fixed on the battle.
"Ugh!"
Luya and Frieza fought at incredible speed, trading punches and kicks, though neither landed many hits. Most were blocked by their opponent. Of course, Luya still took a punch and a kick from Frieza during the exchange!
Overall, Frieza had the upper hand!
"Ha!"
Luya suddenly appeared behind Frieza and thrust both hands forward, firing a Ki Blast that struck him and sent him flying backward!
Luya gritted his teeth and charged after him. But as Frieza flew backward, he suddenly vanished, then reappeared right in front of Luya. He was so fast that Luya saw only a blur!
"Thud!"
"Ugh!!"
Frieza slammed a fist into Luya's stomach. Luya spat foam from his mouth and flew backward, doubled over like a shrimp!
Frieza gave Luya no chance to recover. Moving even faster, he shot toward him at supersonic speed and brought both fists down on him again!
"Ugh!!"
Luya screamed as he plunged toward the ground!
Frieza watched Luya fall with a vicious grin. Then he raised a finger and fired a laser blast at him!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
More than a dozen red laser blasts exploded, filling the area with smoke!
Then, through the smoke, a figure dropped out of the sky. It was Luya. He had taken some injuries, but none were life-threatening, and he landed on a rock below.
Looking at Luya, Frieza laughed. "Ho ho ho! Is that all the strength you have? It seems you're still no match for me!"
Luya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then gave a crooked smile. "You really are strong, but how could I possibly lose to you?!"
"Oh? Do you have any other tricks? Go ahead and use them!" Frieza spread his arms and flicked his tail, taunting him.
Luya gritted his teeth, then flared his ki, raising it to its highest level. He was still using Kaioken, but he was beginning to struggle.
Under normal circumstances, he could maintain it for ten minutes. But fighting Frieza also consumed ki, which meant he didn't have much time left!
He had to end this quickly!!!
With that thought, Luya raised his ki to its peak!
At the same time, he brought his hands together at his waist...
"Kame... hame..."
Seeing the familiar stance, Gohan and the others came to their senses. Krillin was about to shout, but Gohan quickly covered his mouth!
"Don't interfere!" Gohan said sternly.
Krillin nodded quickly. Once Gohan let go, he said excitedly, "Is this guy going to use the move Goku used against Cell on Frieza?"
Gohan watched Luya in the middle of the battlefield and silently prayed, I hope he succeeds!
Meanwhile, Luya continued gathering ki at a frantic pace. He raised his energy to its limit, and the power accumulating in his hands kept growing before he compressed it!
Frieza sensed something was wrong and stared at Luya, puzzled. "Hey! Have you gone crazy? Gathering that much energy for a Kamehameha will destroy the whole Earth!"
Luya smiled faintly. "What? Are you scared?"
Frieza paused, then laughed. "Kid, never mind whether your attack can hurt me. With your speed, you can't hit me! So be careful and save your energy. That way, you might still have a chance to fight back!"
Luya smiled without replying. The next moment, his aura suddenly surged!
Watching this, Frieza felt a vague sense of unease, but he didn't believe Luya could hit him! Or was Luya just trying to buy time?
With that thought, a murderous glint appeared in Frieza's eyes. He spread his hand toward Luya, and red energy gathered in his palm!
"Die!!"
The next moment, Frieza unleashed a burst of energy, sending it hurtling toward Luya!
Luya's eyes widened. Then he roared, "...ha!!!"
Whoosh!
In the next instant, Luya vanished, leaving only an afterimage where the Ki Blast had passed through!
By then, Luya had already appeared behind Frieza!
"Wha... what?!" Frieza was shocked. He tried to dodge, but it was too late!
"Ha!!!"
Luya thrust both hands forward. In an instant, a massive Kamehameha engulfed Frieza!
"Ahhhhhhh!!..."
Frieza screamed, then disappeared into the torrent of the Kamehameha!!
