Chapter 193

Ninety Dangerous Game · Part Two

What can we do to get through this难关!?

These were the questions that simultaneously arose in the minds of the three still awake.

Facing Ash, who had become immeasurably strong and far surpassed all the opponents they had faced, even the selected Pretty Cures with their resilient, warrior-like spirits could not help but feel hopeless.

No!

Ai fiercely slapped her own cheek to stay alert. If the Pretty Cures backed down here, how would they save Mr. Ash, who looked strange, or seek justice for Makoto?

Moreover, she did not want to lose any friends in that game.

“Let’s go!”

Facing Ai’s advance, Ash’s lips curled into a pleased smile.

“Huh, you’ve already gotten up so quickly. I’ll give you credit for that.”

“Heart and we!”

Ash looked at the reunited trio, lifted his dragon-headed left hand in thought, the sharp dragon fangs scraped against his steel chin, sending sparks flying.

“A 3-on-1 fight isn’t bad, but it would be too chaotic. I don’t like troublesome things.”

Stepping on the reflected light from the sea, the heterochromatic Black Unpaired Dragon rose slowly from the ground. On Ash’s opened dragon head, a black fireball gathered and grew larger.

With the power of Ash’s heterochromatic dragon tooth, the previously struggling Black Unpaired Dragon, now transformed into [Heterochromatic Black Unpaired Dragon], shed its metal armor for skeletal-like plating. Flames burned in its nostrils, and its ferocious face was covered in sharp fangs, transforming into a terrifying visage. Empowered by Ash’s presence, the Black Unpaired Dragon’s power increased many times over, roaring like a true king of dragons!

The girls below watched with wary eyes as Ash’s dragon head tilted downward. A giant fireball, as large as a small sun, descended slowly. Arisu attempted to shield herself with a shield, but the immense difference deterred her. When the fireball struck the ground, it instantly caused a silent shockwave, shattering the surrounding land into fine soil, sending the three off balance.

Still in mid-air, the three readjusted. Ash aimed at his first target—CureDiamond!

Leaping in front of Rikka, Ash grabbed her wrist and threw her aside. Rikka quickly rolled, sliding down a rock wall smoothly, only to meet Ash’s assault the moment she landed.

Rikka tried to speak, but was cut off by Ash’s direct attack. Clearly, Ash didn’t want to talk at this moment.

“Pretty Cure Diamond Shower!”

Repeatedly striking her Heart Bow and Arrow, countless pale blue diamonds scattered from Rikka’s palm, gathering around Heterochromatic Dragon Tooth, creating an ice-like imprisonment.

“Shouldn’t hold for long…”

“How long is long enough?”

Almost as Rikka finished her sentence, the diamonds imprisoning Ash were covered in web-like cracks. Muscles fused with armor tightened tightly around his arm like twisted ropes, breaking free in one motion and scattering the diamonds.

“Crack—crack!”

In Rikka’s shocked gaze, Ash picked up a shattered diamond, bit into it, producing an agonizing sound that amplified her fear.

“CureDiamond, does your diamond hurt?”

“Not at all!”

Rikka initiated the punch. Determined to use the clever moves of a Pretty Cure against the rampaging Ash, her fist struck the chest armor labeled ‘2055’ on Ash’s chest. Ash kicked out, pushing himself forward. The girl spun out of his elbow strike, lifting her powerful leg to kick Ash in the groin.

“Whoosh—”

Feeling dazed, Rikka couldn’t comprehend the speed with which the heterochromatic dragon tooth suddenly landed on the ground, kicking towards her waist from beneath, hitting her and sending her soaring into the air. The sharp pain made her cough up saliva mid-flight.

Rikka aimed to use her skills to beat Ash, but Ash wasn’t mindlessly charging or under mind control. Instead, he was fully focused, his strength, speed, technique, resilience, and willpower far surpassing the Pretty Cure filled with determination.

“Pretty Cure Diamond, you’re so cute!”

“Huh?”

Just awake from unconsciousness, Rikka was startled by the voice behind her. She then realized her wrists were locked tightly by someone behind her, bending her hands backwards. Ash faced the open backside of Rikka…

“Clack!”

“Heart—ahhh!”

By the time the other two arrived, Ash was holding Rikka, who had been released from her transformation, placing her on the ground.

“If diamond’s hardness can’t hurt him, I’ll crush it.”

“Ah~ Ah~ boring, no fun.”

“You won’t escape me!” x2

Two girls with red eyes lit up, their spirits glowing. Seeing this, Ash showed slight interest again.

“Now, more excitement!”

Before Ash could finish, Love and Arisu, with full force, collided into him, one on each side. The girls unleashed unprecedented roars, slamming him into a nearby mountain range.
