Through the trees, they could already see it.

With brute force, it carved a path through the forest. They ignored the smaller trees and simply drove over them or shot them to pieces.

"It's time!" Kawao shouted to Koru.

"Do it!"

Koru ran to him and placed his hand on Kawao's shoulder.

"Do you really want to try this?"

"We don't have time! Go!"

Suddenly, a new strength surged through Kawao. It spread from the spot where Koru touched him throughout his entire body.

Their opponents seemed to have noticed them, as they began to aim at them.

"So you really want to try again? This time we won't be merciful!" Kuro shouted.

They fired. And hit. With a tremendous explosion, they turned to ash.

Or so they thought.

As the smoke cleared, a figure gradually rose, growing larger and larger. By the time the smoke had fully dispersed, they could see what had happened.

Kawao had deflected the shot.

Koru had used his power to make Kawao many times larger.

With his increased size, Kawao could now absorb significantly more energy. To him, the tank now looked like a toy.

Smiling, he looked down at them.

"Who has the upper hand now?"

Suddenly, he kicked with full force, sending the tank flying hundreds of meters away.

"Koru! Stay here! I'll take care of them!"

"Alright! I've never tried enlarging a human before! I can't keep you like this for long!"

"Good! Because I can't fight like this for long," he replied and ran after the tank.

With each of his steps, the ground shook.

----------------------------------------

Unfortunately, the tank had landed back on its tracks.

But it was now significantly more dented.

,Just a few more hits and we've got it!´, he thought.

But suddenly, they fired at him again.

,With my current amount of energy, it shouldn't bother me if they shoot at me!´

But he was wrong.

The shot hit him in the foot, causing him to stumble.

He tried to stop himself, but he was already falling. Desperately, he tried to catch himself with his hands, but it was too late.

With a tremendous crash, he slammed face-first into the tank.

The impact was so great that it even caused a small shockwave.

Shortly afterward, Kawao began to slowly shrink back to his normal size.
