Almost Done 1

If it was a normal punch, then there was no way for August to be defeated so easily.

Even though August might be a magician, it didn't mean his physical was weak. Instead, he was strong, especially when he enhanced his body with magic. With his boundless magical power, his strength, defense, speed, durability, reaction, etc, were strong!

However...

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

Teppei didn't say any beautiful words and attacked directly without hesitation. After all, the faster he defeated August, the better it was.

Teppei knew that for some people it was wrong to attack someone who was unprepared, but this was a battlefield. He was also an assassination-type fighter, who attacked from the blind area and defeated his enemy swiftly. After all, he wasn't the main protagonist in the world of Toriko so there was no need for him to fight handsomely.

Which was why without hesitation, Teppei attacked August!

Teppei didn't intend to hurt August so he used his "knocking" technique.

Some people might have forgotten what the "Knocking" technique was since it had been a while since this technique had appeared in this novel. The author had explained what kind of technique it was but just in case, the author was going to explain it again.

Knocking is a special, non-lethal method by hitting precise spots on the target's body. By using this method, someone can rob the mobility of the opponent without inflicting any real damage.

If it was before, then Teppei might need to use this technique several times in August, but he also had become stronger after he entered the Group Chat.

Still, August was strong, so Teppei was a bit rough on his treatment and his attack caused the earth, air, sand, and any plants in the vicinity to be blasted away.

"............."

If Kuroneko, Brandish, and Kuzuha didn't know about Teppei's ability, then they would think that he was trying to kill August.

"Haha... sorry," Teppei said with a laugh.

"............."

August might be strong, and with his magic, he could enhance his magic, but even so, the physical ability of the people in the Toriko world wasn't a joke.

The physical strengthening of the Gourmet Cell was something that couldn't be taken lightly.

August might have been strong, but Teppei was stronger.

August, who was knocked by Teppei, couldn't move his body and he stood still unable to open his mouth. He could only stare at Teppei with disbelief since he knew that what Teppei had done to him wasn't magic, instead, it was pure physical ability.

August's ability was Copy Magic. As long as he saw magic, he could copy them and perform better than the original user, and it was also the reason why he received the nickname of Wizard King since there was no magic that he couldn't copy or use.

However, Teppei was different.

Even if August might be able to copy Teppei's technique, he couldn't produce similar power to Teppei. After all, he could tell the difference of power between the two, and compared to Teppei, he was simply weak.

August could only stand still, wondering who this guy was and where this guy had come from. Still, even if Teppei was strong, it didn't mean that he could be defeated so easily. He could undo the knock on his body with the magic that he had mastered in the past, but even so, he didn't do it since he just didn't have any ideas to escape from Teppei and he let himself be defeated.

"You give up, right?" Teppei asked.

".............." August.

"Hey, answer me!"

"..............." August.

"Oh, right, you couldn't talk," Teppei said with a smile.

"................" August.

"Well, it is alright. I'll just bring you." Teppei then didn't hesitate to bring August with his arms.

If eyes could kill someone, then it was August's eyes at that moment.

Looking at Teppei, who had defeated August, Brandish, Kuroneko, and Kuzuha also came toward him.

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Brandish asked worriedly.

".............." August couldn't say anything and only shut his mouth.

"Grandpa?" Brandish looked at August sadly, wondering whether she would be ignored by August.

"Sorry, he couldn't talk," Teppei said with a smile.

".............." Everyone.

Teppei tapped the pressure point on August's body and August could slowly talk.

"I'm okay," August said gloomily. Even though he had decided to give up, it didn't mean that he didn't feel unhappy. Instead, his mood was so bad at that moment, and understood that Teppei was his enemy for life!

'After this war ends, let me teach you a lesson, boy!' August vowed.

"Oh? You want to fight again?" Teppei asked with a smile.

"Grandpa just gave up. This guy is so strong," Brandish said hurriedly.

"................"

August stared at Brandish expressionlessly while wondering whether Brandish was really his granddaughter. He then sighed and said, "Still, if you want to kill his Majesty, then this isn't enough." He must admit that Teppei's technique, then it was possible to trap Zeref and made him unable to move, but then if Teppei wanted to kill Zeref, then it was impossible since Zeref was immortal.

Zeref couldn't be killed and couldn't die so no matter what they did, there was no way for them to kill Zeref since he was immortal.

However, Teppei only smiled and said, "You don't need to worry, someone will take care of immortality. In our group, there is someone who is an immortal specialist."

"Immortal specialist?" August looked at Teppei weirdly, wondering what an immortal specialist was.

"Anyway, you don't need to worry, and let's wait for this war to end," Teppei said calmly while facing the direction where Haru had a battle against Acnologia.

Not only Teppei, but Kuroneko, Kuzuha, Brandish, and August also looked in the same direction and knew that there was a fierce battle that happened in that direction, especially when they saw the ominous dark cloud start to form in the sky.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

---

Haru looked at the time and knew that most of the members of the Spriggan 12 had been defeated, leaving only Zeref. As for Irene, who was sitting by his side, he didn't need to worry since this woman had become obedient.

"Lastly..."

Haru looked at the giant black dragon that looked in his direction, no, it should at Irene's direction.

Irene could feel that her body was pressured by Acnologia's aura and she could tell that Acnolgia was coming to kill her, which caused her body to tremble. After all, even though she didn't see the point of living anymore, she still felt fear toward something, but then she saw something that made her dumbfounded. "...What are you doing?" She looked at Haru, who suddenly stood up in front of her, and asked with an inexplicable tone. After all, it might be her first time being protected by someone in the past 400++ years. She had been fighting alone and even if she had subordinates that would protect her, they were just tools that she enhanced with magic, but Haru was different. He was a human and he had his own will, which was why she was dumbfounded.

"As I have said before, this is my fight so step back for a moment since it is going to be rough."

Haru didn't look back at Irene then glared in the direction of Acnologia.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
