Chapter 142: Freedom VII

Aoi shot forward, utilizing her distinctive infighter boxing style—fast, aggressive, and always searching for an opening in her opponent's defense. Her golden fists aimed directly at Takeshi's shield, targeting the more exposed areas. Each punch was precise, seeking to exploit even the smallest gaps between his heavy armor and large shield.

"She's too fast!" Takeshi furrowed his brows as he struggled to keep up with the barrage. His shield blocked several strikes, but Aoi's increasing speed was overwhelming him. Her *Extra Holy Flurry*—a skill that imbued her strikes with holy power—made every punch and kick more dangerous, flashing with light as they connected with his shield and armor.
