"Here I come!!!"
Tione lunged forward.
A powerful, dark purple magic erupted from the Life-Eater, completely enveloping her arm and forming a gigantic fist.
She unleashed a frantic barrage of punches at the metal pile.
In Noah's eyes, her arm was already a blur. He could only see afterimages leaving trails in the air.
For a second, it was as if he saw Tione's arm connected to four other arms.
It was just too fast.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The explosive sounds of the punches overlapped in an instant, creating a noise like a high-yield explosive detonating.
"Ahahahahahahaha!"
Tione laughed heartily.
The metal pile had been beaten until it was as soft as modeling clay, deforming with every punch that landed on it.
This scrap metal was almost as hard as diamond, and she was treating it like playdough!
Noah was truly dumbfounded.
He never expected Tione to burn through her life force to such an extent.
She was in the zone, completely ignoring the consumption of her life force.
The Life-Devourer madly devoured her vitality, activating again and again.
In the blink of an eye, she had thrown hundreds of punches!
Berserk: Increases attack power based on the degree of injury.
The effect is enhanced based on the degree of anger.
Backdraft: Increases strength when near death.
Right now, these two skills of hers had been pushed to their absolute limits!
Enemies of the same level were no longer a factor.
In her current state, even a level 5 opponents would be nothing but pulp before Tione!
Every eleven hits, she could unleash a fatal blow powerful enough to threaten a high-level five opponent.
Tiona's jaw dropped.
She had never seen her sister this ferocious.
Although her sister would become terrifying when angry in the past, that was nothing compared to the scene before her now.
And this was all because of the exclusive weapon Noah had created for her!
Did that mean she could become that powerful too?
The dense flurry of punches formed a storm in the backyard, pressing down on everyone so much that they dared not look directly.
Even Bete had to raise his arms and stand in front of Noah.
"Tch, this freakishly strong gorilla is going way too overboard."
He had to admit, he was also a Level 4 at the stage where he could undergo a Level-Up.
But if he had to take that attack...
'Gulp.'
The ever-proud Bete couldn't bring himself to boast that he could withstand it.
The storm lasted for a while, only stopping when Tione had exhausted her mind.
Her hands hung limp, unable to even lift them.
All her buffs had reached their limit and deactivated.
She was now at the end of her rope.
But the look of exhilaration on her face was one of unprecedented satisfaction.
"Haaah.. haah."
She gasped for breath, her chest heaving dramatically.
Noah took a moment to appreciate the view of her breast with a connoisseur's eye.
He had only one thought.
'And that was.... holy crap thats big!'
"You went a little too wild," Noah said, manipulating the surrounding mind and gathering it toward the Life-Devourer on Tione's hand.
When Tione noticed this phenomenon, she looked at him in amazement.
After some mind had accumulated, Noah said to Tione, "Now, deactivate the weapon and experience the feedback effect."
Tione nodded with difficulty.
Then, she closed her eyes and calmed her mind.
The ferocious gauntlet on her hand gradually disassembled, retracting into the mysterious-looking piece of jewelry.
A torrential surge of life force, converted from mind, flowed into her body from the ring on her hand.
"Ahhhhh~~"
Tione let out an involuntary moan of comfort, her face flushing red.
"Ahem."
Noah discreetly averted his gaze, only to find that just hearing the sound was even more unbearable!
Tione recovered, her eyes full of wonder as she examined her own body.
"Amazing, it really healed me."
If controlled properly, couldn't she minimize consumption in a normal battle?
She might even end up with more vitality after a fight than before.
It was too perfect!
"Noah, thank you so much! This is the most suitable exclusive weapon for me!"
Before the young man could react, he was pulled into a broad embrace with the speed of a Level 4.
Haruhime cried out in alarm at the sight and rushed forward, grabbing Noah's arm with both hands to try and pull him out.
In the end, he wasn't sure if he was pulled out or bounced out.
Speaking of which, Tione is only a year older than Haruhime, yet she's so.... magnificent.
Do all Amazons develop this quickly?
Noah glanced suspiciously at Tiona, who was standing to the side.
Seeing the "topography" of that Amazonian plain, he changed his mind.
'Hmm.... I guess it really depends on the person.'
Even though they were twin sisters, they had such a huge difference in physical development.
Genetics really were a mysterious thing.
"My turn to try!"
After seeing Tione's performance, Tiona was all fired up.
Noah was about to explain the effects of the Exhaustion-Devourer to her, but before he could open his mouth, the Exhaustion-Devourer on Tiona's hand suddenly erupted with powerful wave of magic.
Wha—
Tiona swung her arm a few times, winding it up into a full circle.
"Here I go!"
With a spirited cry, the Amazon girl's fist landed on the metal pile.
Clang!
It was not a sound a fist should make.
Noah saw the top of the metal pile get smashed off by the punch, sent flying backward and directly knock down a wall in the backyard.
"Huh? Did it work? Yay!"
Tiona jumped up and down happily on the spot.
Noah, however, gritted his teeth. "Tiona! Didn't you say you didn't understand?!"
"Eh?" Tiona froze, then put on a troubled expression.
Finally, she broke into a brilliant smile. "Hehe, I don't know either. I just kind of did it by feel."
"By feel..."
'Ah, this.... seriously?'
'Are all of you this ridiculous when you use cheats?'
Noah rubbed his temples, a headache coming on.
Looking at the toppled wall, his blood pressure began to rise.
"That's enough. If you want to test them further, don't do it here. Try it yourselves when you get back. I feel so tired today for some reason."
Is it a side effect of using the transformation device?
No.
This feeling should be called mental exhaustion!
Noah looked at the certain wolf who was trying hard to act calm nearby.
He had lost the mood to tease him and directly took out the belt.
"Bete, this is yours."
He handed the belt to Bete, who froze for a moment, seemingly shocked by something.
As he took the belt, his hand was actually trembling slightly.
Noah noticed this detail and thought, 'Could it be that werewolves are particularly fond of Kamen Rider?'
'Pah.'
'That kind of thing doesn't exist in this world, only this knock-off version I made.'
Noah helped him put on all the components and finally handed him the card.
"Bete, this..."
Just as he was about to explain the abilities of this set of armor, Bete took a step forward, instantly moving to a relatively open space.
He was in high spirits, his eyes filled with anticipation and the curve of his lips was impossible to hide.
In that state of joy and excitement, he held up the card and swiped it through the slot on the belt.
Then, he resolutely shouted the phrase.
"Henshin!"
Noah was dumbfounded.
Haruhime was expressionless.
The Amazoness sisters looked like they had seen a ghost!
And Bete... he stared blankly, holding the card-inserting pose.
He waited for a long time, but nothing happened.
Now, even the air fell silent.
"Bete, sorry, it's not voice-activated... uh, I mean, you don't actually have to shout it. Although I shouted it back then, I regretted it afterward. How should I put it? It's just really embarrassing, right? So, uh, just... um, don't mind it!"
Noah tried to comfort him tactfully.
But he didn't expect to be so tactful that his words became a winding mountain road.
His intention wasn't conveyed at all.
"I'll kill you all..."
"Wait! Don't be so quick to silence us! I won't tell anyone!" Noah said, seeing the werewolf on the verge of going dark.
He quickly signaled the others to play along.
However.
The Amazoness sisters looked at each other, and suddenly, both broke into mocking smiles.
"Well, I can't make any promises."
"My, my, I never knew Bete was such a show-off."
"..."
Noah's face changed drastically as he watched the Amazoness sisters' lightning-fast change of expression.
Today is definitely one of the darkest days in Bete's life!
There's no telling what he'll do!
Noah quickly looked at Bete, only to find him frozen in the same pose, not having moved an inch.
From the reflection of the sunlight, it seemed like a glistening droplet could be seen at the corner of his eye.
"Alright! Let's put everything else aside for now. The price of this equipment isn't cheap, I'm telling you in advance!"
The moment Noah said this, the Amazoness sisters appeared on either side of him in the next second, as if they had teleported.
They each hugged one of the young man's arms.
Although the feeling on both sides was completely different, they both cooed in a sickly-sweet voice.
"C'mon, give us a discount."
Noah looked at them.
Then he looked up at the sky.
Finally, he took a deep breath.
Then he kicked each of the sisters in the ass, sending them flying out the door.
He also tossed a bill to them for good measure.
"Tch, it didn't work," Tione said resentfully.
Tiona picked up the bill.
After counting the number of digits on it, Tiona's mind was filled with a string of zeros and she almost short-circuited.
"Huh? You've got to be kidding me, right? Huh?" Tiona checked it again and again.
Then, she fell to her knees and roared at the sky.
"552,000,000 VALIS!?!?"
