It's the juggernaut, bitch!

Yajin is what, a tier-4 now? Trapped at level 25? Is this guy also trapped at 25, and just a massive brick shithouse? Or is he a higher tier too?

The normal plan for big guys is to take out the legs. Tendon cuts, or break the knees. I wonder if that's not feasible when superhumans are involved.

It's difficult to keep track of Yajin's level, but his last known level is 21 (after fighting the phantom fox), which means he is still lower than Melgo (the fisherman guy who was Yajin's last overpowered foe).

Poisoned blades are mostly fictional. In the real world, most poisons are not fast acting enough to warrant their use in an active fight, and the logistics of actually using one are awful. First you need something fast-acting, probably a venom, which you have to source yourself. Then you need a way to store it and handle it without risk of getting it on or in you. Then you need to be able to maintain that safe method available to you in battle. Then once you actually do apply it in battle you need to use it quickly so it doesn't wash or wipe off (or degrade from exposure to air/light). And then when you finally get around to using it you still need to get a sufficient dose into the target's bloodstream, which is far more than the little nicks you see in most works, and at which point you've already dealt a significant enough blow to alter the trajectory of the fight anyways.

The author seems to be trying to keep the things not directly related to magic/levels as grounded, so unless Yajin finds some fantastical creature that eases or skips some of these steps of the process I can't really picture it coming up.

I'm not sure how much logic really matters after something like the fox fight happened.

Bruh the chara design is literally the same lmao.

And this dude is Bob from Tekken with that fast move.

 

[UncleKaos]

Well now we DO know he is fast and very strong.. and hard to hurt.
so what can he do to him? he better hopes for that that big guy got lesser stamina than he has.. which is likely since he literally just sat and ate food. (food can ruin your stamina if you just ate. hell you can puke if you are training too hard after you ate.)

Why didn't Yajin stab the fat blobs cranium? Even if the skull is hard to penetrate, it will sure give the bastard a good headache.

I think for the sake of character development, Yajin won't be using poisoned weapons this time, even though he used it against Gary the guild chief of Great Bath in ch 41/42.

 

[Hauberk1800]

The other guy is either at a higher level, or is wearing some sort of body armour undeneath his clothes, making him far more durable. Honestly, considering Hugo's feat of strengths, I think he's higher level. Consider also that he detected Yajin, who is quite good at stealth, and then moved quickly enough to dodge a knife stab aimed at the back of his neck.

It doesn't seem that Yajin has the physical strength to break Hugo's knees nor to cut a tendon; don't forget that Hugo is wearing boots, so that combined with his durability doesn't make it likely for Yajin to be able to take him down.

I expect Yajin will find his way to the eyes and inside of the mouth. Maybe get another shot to the back of the neck. It seems to me he basically rushed over there with no plan nor tools to ensure his capability at taking down a higher levelled human and only now is he considering his options and realising they're all bad.

Yup. Yuppers. Yupperooney. Like Yajin, bro, you went to an area you were not leveled for and now it's do or die.

If he beats this boss then will likely be half dead, again. Or the blacksmith will jump in and they will team up against him cause the stats are not statting and that throw rush combo is very likely to connect in some capacity.

Thanks for the tl

Yet again another stellar lengthy chapter. You'd think it was a weekly release and not monthly.

Just wanted to add to this some info i picked up from golden kamui. There are methods, like poisons that are solid at room temp but melt in the wet warmth of flesh. Such as the aconite arrows used by asirpa.

Peak art and fight either way.

Reminds me of a fun historical tidbit:

Roman professional gladiators were actually quite fat. They were on such a diet because the fat helps quite significantly in avoiding fatal wounds. And while yes, a lot of it is acting for the spectacle and they did actively try not to kill other professional gladiators, wounding each other was of course common place, so the extra protection from the fat was very important

Aconite was historically used to poison arrows by many groups of people and while you can find written descriptions of it "quickly" killing the target, the reality is that any envenomation would take at least an hour or several to bear any effect. If it even comes to that, due to the difficulties involved, mentioned by the OP. Infecting them with something is even more long-term, a matter for days to months and you can expect the boss of a criminal organization to have the best medical help available. So using those on a dagger is really nonsense, delivery is far more difficult and unless you have some means of escaping, you're not living to see the result yourself.

He was aiming for the brainstem but Hugo shifted his body to make it an upper body stab. Hugo's counterattack prevented any follow-up.

My bother in Christ... WHY YOU LET THE TANK GET GO CLOOOOOSEEE?????

 

[Imryse]

SEPTEMBER!?

 

[gameforcer]

One can just cover it in shit or make a paste out of brightest mushrooms they can find. "Posion" doesn't have to kill in next hour and its quite fine if target is dead next week.
Also throwing knives or darts can administer posion well right? at least those with grooves on them.

The poisons you're talking about could only lead to a slow assassination. Maybe in the wilderness MC could use them as a means to hunt/get rid of pursuers, but not here.
Darts and thrown knives still won't administer much poison, and personally I don't believe in darts being viable outside of fiction. Thrown knives arent the best (because they're quite pricey for a 1-time tool) but they do enough damage to work regardless of poison on them.

thanks for chapter

he is done for, it was great while it lasted xD

nah i believe Yajin will target legs and hands then perhaps this giant guy will embrace him with a bear hug and yayin will poke both of his eyes cut his nose and french kiss him
