The blinding light stabbed into Cooler's eyes. He stiffened in agony and instinctively clamped both hands over them. Scalding tears spilled out at once, and even his Ki fell into disarray.

Trunks's gaze sharpened. Without a moment's hesitation, he lunged forward, clenched his fists, and unleashed a furious barrage at Cooler's vital points.
His fists hammered into Cooler, the relentless, muffled thuds echoing across the Arena. Every blow carried the full power of his Super Saiyan 5 form.

The Energy Blast detonated instantly, its savage shock wave sweeping in every direction. The entire venue shook violently, fine cracks spread across the Arena floor, and smoke and dust swallowed Cooler's figure.

Trunks's brows knitted at once, alarm rising in his mind.
This is... Cooler is about to go all out and unleash his full strength!
He dared not take any chances. In a flash, he charged at Cooler again, hoping
