[RE:BUILD!! AXE YELLOW!! OK?]
“Let’s do this!!”
The moment I press the button briskly, lightning strikes around me.
The lightning blasts away the enemy trying to approach and hits my armor, dyeing it a bright yellow color.
[CHANGE!! AXE YELLOW!!]
I swat away the lightning with my arm.
“……!”
As usual, the knowledge of how to use this form [Axe Yellow] flows into my head.
Well then, all that’s left is to defeat this guy!!
“Jaa!!”
Against the claws swung by the enraged cat monster, I move while unleashing electricity from my entire body.
My field of vision flows at high speed, narrowly avoiding the claws and landing a counter punch.
“Gyaa!?”
Electricity bursts from the fist that made direct contact, and combined with the impact, the guy is blown away, struggling to stand up.
“Now it’s my turn!!”
As I prepare my fist and leap forward, my whole body is once again enveloped in electricity, and I’m hit with a sensation as if time around me is slowing down.
Maintaining that sensation, I punch the cat monster in the stomach as it looks at me with surprised eyes, then I circle around to where it’s been knocked and deliver a kick.
“Gaaa!!”
But this guy is no ordinary tough opponent!
The cat monster, with a toughness incomparable to the monsters I’ve fought so far, stands up and this time accelerates on all fours.
“Gaaaa!!”
“I won’t lose!”
I too accelerate again, wrapped in electricity.
We repeat our clashes multiple times, with the high-pitched sound of fists meeting claws echoing.
However, the opponent is like a beast without reason!! If I’m shown the same attacks thrust at me repeatedly, I can respond!!
“Here it is!!”
“Gii!?”
I avoid its pounce and pierce its unguarded body with my fist.
In that instant, electricity bursts forth again, greatly blowing away the cat monster’s body.
“Now for the finishing blow…Ugh”
As I try to follow up with an attack, I fall to my knees.
While being assaulted by both shortness of breath and an incredible feeling of fatigue, I realize the drawbacks of this form.
“This form is powerful, but it’s incredibly tiring…!”
[YES!!]
I nod at Shiro’s affirmative voice coming from the buckle.
“Red for balance, blue for technique. And then yellow for power and speed, it’s a high-risk decisive battle form, huh?”
Also, I can’t use this where there are people around.
Looking around, I see that the ground where I moved while scattering electricity is scorched black, causing indiscriminate damage.
“If this drags on, I’ll end up destroying this place myself. …Then!”
As I reach out into the void, a new weapon is created from the buckle in response to my will.
[LIGHTNING CRUSHER!!]
I hold the single-edged great axe [Lightning Crusher] that appeared in my right hand with both hands and rest it on my shoulder.
“I’ll smash it with this”
“Giii, Jiiii!!”
The cat monster stands up and glares at me with a hateful expression.
“Come on!!”
“Gaaaa!!”
As the cat monster leaps at me with incredible leg power, I calmly prepare myself.
I imagine the figure of Yellow-san fighting the rabbit monster.
She was dealing with a monster moving at an eye-blurring speed with minimal evasion and defense.
But it’s impossible for me to do the same as her right now.
“Still, there are things I can do!!”
As I open my eyes wide, I wrap myself in electricity and swing the axe at the monster’s body in a counter-like manner.
However, what I hit was the restraint wrapped around its body. Ignoring the slight crack in it, I engage in close combat with the monster.
“Haaa!!”
“Jaaa!!”
We move simultaneously, each unleashing our full-power attacks on each other.
But unlike the previous exchange, I’m using high-speed movement for minimal defense and evasion, striking back with counterattacks.

“Hm!!”
“Gi!”
I deflect its claws with the axe handle, bump my shoulder to create a slight distance, and activate high-speed movement.
“Haa!!”
Matching the acceleration, I slam the axe into its body as we pass each other.
“Ja…Gi, Giii!?”
“Haaa!!”
The axe I swing down as I turn around bites into its shoulder.
“Gaa, Aaaa!!”
“Ugh, still!?”
However, even then it doesn’t fall, swinging its claws around regardless of the axe embedded in its shoulder.
I quickly let go of the axe and distance myself, feeling an eerie sensation at the monster’s abnormal toughness before me.
“What is this guy……”
It’s clearly different from the ones I’ve fought so far.
That restraint, the beast-like fighting style devoid of reason, it looks as if it’s being forced to fight against its will.
──You’re the only one who can put it out of its misery
“But……”
──If you don’t, you’ll be done for, you know?
Shiro’s voice echoes in my mind.
While gritting my teeth at that voice, I hit the buckle to activate the finishing move.
“…Ugh, don’t hold it against me!!”
[DEADLY!! AXE YELLOW!!]
As it activates, electricity bursts throughout my body, and energy converges in both fists.
The monster leaps at me with the axe still embedded in its shoulder.
“Ugh!!”
I avoid the claws and strike with my right fist at full power.
Electricity sparks like a flash of light, and I follow up with a left strike.
“Gii!?”
As the cat monster is blown away with scorched fist marks on its body, I close the distance in an instant and grab the axe embedded in its shoulder.
“…Sorry”
I hit the buckle again with my free hand, activating another finishing move──maximum output electricity flows from the buckle through my body and arm into the axe.
[DEADLY!! HIGH POWER!!]
“Gi, Giii!?”
[LIGHTNING SLASH!!]
The released electricity forms a giant blade.
Grasping it with both hands, I swing the axe and slash through the cat monster.
“………..”
I look down at the cat monster’s remains as they fall to the ground, emitting white smoke.
“What on earth was this thing?”
It was undoubtedly an enemy that posed a danger to humanity.
However, while I felt hostility from it, I didn’t sense any malice.
“…Let’s head back”
Anyway, I’ve defeated the monster.
Now I just need to leave before people gather──
──Katsumi
“Shiro?”
──It’s not over yet
“…Huh?”
I immediately turn back to the monster’s remains and notice something strange happening to the body lying on the ground.
“The restraint…!?”
The body is convulsing and swelling up from inside the damaged restraint.
“W-What’s going on!?”
“Gii, Giiiaaaa!!!”
“Ugh!!”
With a loud BAKIN!!! sound, the restraint shatters, and in that instant, the cat monster is enveloped in a bright light.
“What!?”
When the light subsides, an unbelievable transformed version of the cat monster enters my vision.
“Jaaaa…!”
“Gigantification…is that even fair?”
Faced with the cat monster…no, the giant lion-like creature that has transformed to the size of a large bus, all I could do was stand there in shock.
“Jaa!!”
“Ugh, wait! Where do you think you’re going!!”
[CHANGE SAVE FORM!!]
The monster starts running into the city without even glancing at me.
If it rampages with that size, it’ll be bad…!
Having returned to Save Form, I immediately call for the Lupus Striker and begin pursuit, determined to defeat it this time as I chase after it.
