Night Raid Revolution

Chapter 62: One Minute

Tatsumi and Lars battle continued to rage on.

Tatsumi and Lars charged at each other and landed blow for blow and counterattack for counterattack.

Lars landed a kick to Tatsumi's ribs, but Tatsumi fired back with a kick to the face. Lars then gut punched Tatsumi and Tatsumi responded with an elbow to the back of the neck.

Tatsumi and Lars then headbutted each other. After the collision, Tatsumi then kicked Lars in the ribs.

Lars then grabbed by the leg and swung him into a boulder. Lars then chased after Tatsumi, but Tatsumi fired four energy beams at Lars that sandwiched him. Two were being held with his legs and the other two had Lars bending backwards to block them.

Tatsumi then fired anther beam at Lars but at the same time, Lars sent the four beams at Tatsumi and then deflected the fifth one back at Tatsumi as well.

But as the smoke cleared, Tatsumi was gone. As Lars looked around, he was then sent to the ground with a kick by Tatsumi. As Lars stopped himself, and landed on the ground, Tatsumi came raining down with stomp to Lars. Tatsumi then placed a hand on Lars' head and fired an energy beam that went through the planet.

On a Distant Planet:

"Those are more than scratches." Kubo Priest said. "They're going to destroy our whole world!"

"Come on! Have perspective! Their battle affects more than just our planet!" Elder Priest said. "Who cares about that trivial rock when the multiverse is at stake!"

"Come on, Tatsumi. Keep fighting." Megan said.

On the World of the Priests:

Lars pulled Tatsumi down underground and threw him around into the walls before slamming him on the ground.

"Wow Lars, you're a tough opponent." Tatsumi said as he sat up. "Can't underestimate you. If I'd known killing you was going to be this hard, me and Akame would've finished you off back on earth when we fused into Taka. Still, I'll fight until I have nothing left. I can't allow you to win."

Tatsumi landed a kick to Lars' head; a kick to the back of the neck; an elbow to the gut; a bicycle kick to back; and then kicked Lars through one of the cave walls.

Tatsumi then dropped to his knees in exhaustion but as he looked up, he saw Lars sitting on a ledge whistling.

"Shit. Now my attacks aren't damaging him, let alone slowing him down." Tatsumi said. "What the fuck is going on?"

Lars then stuck his tongue out at Tatsumi and charged at him. Lars then inflated himself and was about to crush Tatsumi, but Tatsumi blasted Lars out of from underground and then followed him.

Lars instantly began regenerating.

"Great, he'll reform and come right back at me." Tatsumi said. "He isn't losing any strength at all."

"Tatsumi." Akame said.

"Akame? What's up?" Tatsumi replied.

"Be honest with me. Do you think I have chance against Lars?" Akame asked. 

Tatsumi hesitated from a moment.

"No, I don't think you have a chance at all." Tatsumi said.

"Okay good, just making sure it wasn't just self-doubt." Akame said. 

"Akame?" Tatsumi said.

"Don't worry, Tatsumi. I can handle the truth." Akame said. "I only took a moment of fighting him to realize it. He outclasses me and so do you. So don't hold back."
