Against a monster like this, no number of troops would make any difference.
Even the strongest fighters could only shake him slightly.
Perhaps Gurado's technique had given Sakazuki inspiration.
Sakazuki climbed rapidly into the sky with Geppo, aided by the recoil from jets of magma.
However, Gurado embodied a volcano and could trigger volcanic eruptions himself.
By comparison, Sakazuki's imitation of a volcanic eruption was somewhat less effective.
As he ascended, blazing magma bombs erupted from his body as he unleashed his signature Meteor Volcano in midair.
Magma bombs pierced the clouds, dyeing the entire sky red.
The beautiful scene, reminiscent of volcanic clouds, concealed a deadly threat.
A moment later, countless magma bombs fell like meteors, slamming into the Liger Mammoth.
Their searing heat, combined with the tremendous force of impact, melted the Liger Mammoth's thick hide.
A single magma bomb might barely affect the Liger Mammoth, like a mosquito bite.
It might itch a little, or perhaps cause a faint sting.
But there were hundreds, even thousands of magma bombs, each capable of devastating an area nearly ten meters across.
On impact, great quantities of magma burst outward in all directions.
Magma covered more than half the Liger Mammoth's back.
Because of the enormous disparity in their size, the Liger Mammoth had not even noticed Sakazuki's presence.
But some of the Monster-Men on the Liger Mammoth's back had already realized something was wrong.

One unusual Monster-Man spoke calmly.
Then he began speaking respectfully to thin air.
In reality, he was speaking to the Liger Mammoth.
Indeed, he could
