Chapter 54: “A Fight with the God of Thunder?!” ②

Thor’s punch landed square on Natsuki, sending him tumbling violently across the ground.

He couldn’t even brace himself—his body slammed into the earth over and over, crashing against rocks and dirt so hard that for a moment, he wondered if his bones might just scatter apart.

It hurt.

It hurt like hell.

And yet—his mind was perfectly clear.

When he finally crashed into a massive tree and came to a stop, he forced himself to move, ignoring the searing pain—only to realize that his right leg was completely broken.

“…No way. My Super Ultra Dangerous Afternoon Hero Punch actually lost…? But even the Demon God of another world couldn’t handle it…!”

Muttering to himself, he activated a full-body healing spell, restoring his battered limbs.

Then, he pushed off the ground—ready for payback.

“You’re not the first to aim for my crotch. That’s why—even my crotch is trained!”

“…Okay, that actually sounds kinda cool—oh, crap.”

There was no time to think about how someone could even train their crotch.

Thor’s thick arm swung at him again.

But this time, Natsuki wasn’t about to take another direct hit.

He moved fluidly, deflecting Thor’s strike with a light redirection, spinning his body in a quick turn—before driving his elbow straight into the Thunder God’s side.

It should have been a solid hit.

And yet—

Thor barely budged.

Instead, he stood his ground and countered with a brutal backhand, smashing his fist into Natsuki’s face.

The sheer force sent Natsuki flipping vertically through the air—

But he wasn’t new to this kind of fight. Using the momentum, he twisted mid-spin, angling his body—

And with pinpoint precision—

He drove his heel straight into Thor’s face.

“Guh!”

“Oh—whoops.”

Natsuki didn’t go in for another hit. Instead, he backed off, putting some distance between himself and Thor.

The Thunder God gave him a suspicious look.

“What’s wrong, Natsuki?”

“My bad, my bad. Totally forgot to reinforce my body—whoops. Alright, let’s go with… 30%!”

The very next moment, Natsuki’s magic surged, circulating through his body and fusing into his muscles.

“—Oh? That’s some incredible magic you’ve got there.”

“Thanks. I actually boosted my magic earlier but forgot to strengthen myself. So, yeah—now that I’m properly warmed up, I’ll be trying to kill you for real. Hope you’re ready.”

As Natsuki clenched his fist, Thor flashed a feral grin.

“—That’s exactly what I wanted to hear!”

“Alright then—let’s start with payback. Get launched.”

The instant Natsuki kicked off the ground—his form vanished.

A split second later—His kick drove straight into Thor’s abdomen.

“Gah—!”

The Thunder God’s massive frame folded in half—before being blasted backward like a cannonball.

“Follow-up incoming~!”

With another sharp kick off the ground—Natsuki appeared mid-air, right over the tumbling Thor—and with pinpoint accuracy—he brought his heel crashing down onto the Thunder God’s gut, slamming him into the ground.

“Fwahahahaha! That strike surpasses even the giants! Magnificent!”

Thor, blood dripping from his mouth, let out a hearty laugh—clearly enjoying himself.

Then, he sprang to his feet and lunged at Natsuki.

Thor’s fist slammed into Natsuki’s cheek—but Natsuki didn’t even flinch.

Instead, he threw a punch right back. For every hit the Thunder God landed—Natsuki retaliated with three.

In both speed and sheer impact, Natsuki had the upper hand.

Thor’s grip on him loosened.

“Oh, come on—don’t tell me you’re done already?”

Now, kicks were added into the mix.

Thor’s thighs, ribs, chest, face, temples—

Natsuki’s relentless barrage of strikes hit their mark, each one leaving visible damage.

“Hup—there you go!”

Even at just 30%, Natsuki’s kick carried immense force—and when it smashed into Thor’s solar plexus—the mighty Norse God of Thunder finally coughed up blood and fell to his knees.

“No, no, no, no, NO! This isn’t happening! No way in hell!”

“Susa-Susa and Mammon-Mammon barely survived fighting him, you know? Besides—Thor still has energy left. Look.”

■

“I must apologize… No— I must apologize. I heard you were strong. I heard you were a hero. And yet, somewhere deep down, I still doubted you.”

“Don’t sweat it. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t believe a middle schooler this cute could be this strong either.”

“Hahahahahahahaha! Then I shall hold nothing back! As the God of Thunder—I will fight you at my full power! Natsuki! You’ll give it your all too, won’t you?!”

“If you want me to go all out, then show me what the great God of Thunder is really made of!”

“Very well! Then behold—this is my true power!”

Thor’s voice echoed through the divine realm—

And in the very next instant—
Blinding golden lightning exploded into existence, raging wildly across the battlefield.

Natsuki: 30% power
