Chapter 119: Crimson Berserker Form
The high-speed rotation generated immense force, allowing the serrated light blade in Jojo’s hand to slash fiercely across Zagi’s forehead!
*Clang—*
A dull, heavy sound echoed; it was clearly a solid skull.
Zagi was stunned on the spot, his body plummeting toward the desert below. Honestly, had it been any other light blade, that slender design clearly wouldn't have achieved such an effect. Therefore, bigger is better, and bigger is fiercer!
Eyes fixed on the falling Zagi, Jojo raised his hand high, gathering energy! A circular saw of light materialized, spinning at high speed and growing larger and larger. By the time he had forged a disc twice the size of his own body, Jojo hurled it toward Zagi!
Just as Zagi crashed into the desert, the massive circular blade followed, striking true!
*Boom!*
The intense energy detonated in the desert, sending countless grains of sand scattering into the air. Had this occurred in a city, the impact would have been equivalent to a major earthquake, causing every building in the city to collapse.
This scene, broadcast via satellite to the main screen of the Night Raiders' base, made everyone’s heart race. Seeing that gargantuan light disc, Matsunaga couldn't help but remove his glasses and pull a tissue from his pocket to wipe his brow—a subconscious reaction to the tension.
He was sweating, his hands trembling slightly: "Zagi... he must be dead, right?"
Jojo was too powerful. If such a devastating attack couldn't kill Zagi, then just how strong was Zagi?
The others were filled with anxiety, with one exception. Watching Jojo’s figure, Komon felt an uncontrollable, intense longing.
*‘This power! This is the kind of power I desire!’*
From this moment on, Komon realized how incredibly weak he was. A human body was nothing in the face of a giant; he had to obtain that power! Otherwise, how could he protect Nagi Saijo?
Thinking of this, Komon couldn't help but look at Nagi beside him. He had been pondering how one might generate such power, only to notice that Nagi was staring fixedly at the main screen.
"Nagi, what’s wrong?"
The emotion revealed in her eyes was as if she wished for someone to die immediately; it was a memory from her childhood resurfacing.
"Mitsuhiko Ishibori is the one! He is the one who killed my parents!"
Now that Zagi had dropped the charade, Nagi’s memories were gradually returning. For years, she had periodically searched her mind, trying to recall the man from that day. But no matter how she tried, whenever she reached the crucial moment, she could only recall that it was a man, unable to picture his face.
Until this very moment, she finally remembered every detail! It was Ishibori who had killed her parents with his own hands and then tossed their bodies before her!
Upon hearing Nagi’s words, Komon was stunned for a moment before he understood.
"Nagi." Seeing the look of hatred on her face, he reached out and took her hand, speaking in a comforting tone: "Don't let hatred cloud your heart. You still have me."
"Yeah!" Nagi’s eyes cleared slightly.
Ever since he encountered Jojo, Komon had vaguely understood that those with special talents like them were prone to walking a dark path if they harbored negative emotions. For instance, when Dark Mephisto had tempted him, he knew his heart had wavered, and it was only because of Jojo that he had regained his senses.
Wasn't the fear of death and the craving for power a form of desire in itself? However, Komon was in the process of changing. He understood that to maintain one's self after transforming into a giant like Jojo, one had to choose positive emotions.
But why did Ishibori kill Nagi’s parents? Komon looked at the main screen, sensing that the man definitely had a hidden agenda.
Their hands remained clasped. Wakura, standing nearby, watched them both and felt at a loss for words. *Seriously? In a situation like this, you two still have the mood to hold hands? Are you not even bothering to hide it anymore?*
At this moment, as the situation on the main screen seemed to shift again, everyone grew tense once more!
On the battlefield, smoke and dust filled the desert below. Jojo’s eyes emitted two beams of light, activating his Ultra Vision to peer through the swirling clouds. He did not believe Zagi would die so easily, and his expression remained vigilant.
Zagi was indeed unharmed. Despite the two head strikes from the serrated blade and the hit from the super-sized light disc, the augmentation of dark power gave his body immense defensive capabilities!
In the dusty desert, Zagi stood up and tilted his head back, roaring!
"Ughhh!!!"
The sound was filled with rage. His black arms gathered dark energy, his gaze locked on Jojo in the high sky, and he suddenly formed a T-shape to unleash an energy blast!
*Lightning Zagi Ray!*
He opened with a major finishing move, the black-and-red beam instantly piercing through the dust!
Jojo, who had been guarding against Zagi, immediately deployed a circular shield! The Lightning Zagi-style super beam was blocked by the shield! Ripples of energy surged across the barrier, but it remained firm.
It was fortunate that the current Zagi had not yet fully recovered his strength and could not unleash the ray to its maximum potential. If it had the power to distort space-time, the circular shield likely wouldn't have held.
Even so, after the beam was blocked, the terrifying impact force blasted Jojo higher into the sky! The beam pushed him all the way through the clouds!
Zagi below leaped into the air, keeping his hands in a T-shape to continue the blast!
Jojo had originally intended to use instant transmission to dodge the impact, but after seeing Zagi’s move, he simply went with the flow. If he fought in space, Jojo could automatically recharge while battling, as his body absorbed the light emitted by the sun, combined with his Ripple recovery. This undoubtedly significantly increased his endurance!
Zagi quickly caught up to Jojo, the black-and-red destructive ray pressed against the circular shield, pushing Jojo all the way through Earth’s atmosphere!
As the two reached outer space, Jojo felt his back collide with something.
*Boom!*
A fiery explosion occurred; a satellite was shattered by Jojo’s back—it was unclear which nation's it belonged to.
Seeing that they were flying near the moon, Star Platinum manifested on Jojo, whisking him away from the impact of the beam.
This turn of events stunned Zagi, and immediately after, he felt a sharp pain in his side!
Jojo had gathered red energy in his leg and kicked Zagi fiercely in the waist. After kicking his opponent away, feeling that his offense and defense were insufficient, he placed one fist against the crystal on his forehead.
As he swung his arm, he shifted forms, transforming into his red, aggressive—*Red Burst Form*!
In this form, his overall strength and defensive power were significantly boosted!
Zagi turned his head to look at Jojo, sensing that his aura had grown stronger, and his demeanor became even more irritable.
"Raaah!!!"
With a low, guttural roar, black-and-purple flame-like dark energy erupted across Zagi’s entire body!
