《How am I Supposed to Save This World with No Power?》Chapter 124: Tiger in the Woods
Advertisement
Wu flew through the air, when suddenly a coconut whirled towards him through the air. His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of it before he barrel rolled to the side, avoiding the flying coconut as it landed all the way onto the beach far behind him.
Turning his attention towards the ground level, Wu then spotted Yuna who clung onto a tree with both feet along either sides of its trunk. The bottom side foot pressed into the trunk while the topside foot hooked around. She giggled at him before leaning in and clawing into the coconut tree, tearing off an actual coconut and launching it his way.
"So what's the deal here..." Wu said, activating the communication Cast, "I found her. It's Yuna."
"Does she already have coconuts with her?" Lera asked.
"Yeah...but it doesn't seem to be the ones with Casts..." Wu said, when his eyes suddenly caught onto the outlines of a sack down on the ground, seemingly containing glowing stones as beams of light shined even through the opening of the sack itself, "Nevermind. She had gotten quite a few. I am engaging."
"Be careful." Lera said, and Wu smiled before turning off the Communication Cast attached to his wrist. Lowering the Void suit's blasts, Wu freefell down to the ground level before blasting off again, this time flying far closer to the ground as he rushed towards the sack filled with coconuts.
"There you are!" Yuna said, flipping off the tree and jumping down as Wu's body accelerated further and further, his hands reaching out and snatching away the sack just before Yuna's feet stomped onto the ground. However, Wu instantly felt something was off as the sack felt not weighty at all.
Pulses of light tore through the bag, and Wu's eyes widened before he quickly shielded himself with Bubble bubble. An explosion went off from right behind him as he dropped the bag far behind him. Still, the shockwave sent him flying right into the trunk of a tree as he bounced right off and the shields cracking upon impact.
A trail of black smoke rose through the air, and through the smoke walked Yuna as she coated her body with her pale white Wave surrounding her body. Claw-shaped Wave-gloves covered her hands, and she pressed forward when Wu fired a massive blast of the Wave in her direciton.
She crossed her arms in front, slashing straight through Wu's attack before the Wave exploded right in front of her eyes. The bright flash of light giving Wu just enough time to regain his composure and stumble away. Underneath the Void suit and layers of muscles he built, he is still a normal human being from Earth at his core.

Well, at least the influence of concussion is far less...Wu said, blinking a few times and trying to recenter his entire being before Yuna's figure dashed in front of him, her body dropped low in a lunge pose and ready to strike straight through Wu's body.
"I was expecting someone else to come!" Yuna said, charging up her strike before it landed straight into Wu's shield as the latter hopped backwards and fired off a series of blasts that bounced off her body easily like pinballs, "But if it's you...then it should be easy money..."
"Oh come on..." Wu said, dodging out to the side as Yuna slammed her feet down onto the ground, "VOID DOMAIN SPECIAL!"
"Out of everyone here, I am the one with the most experience fighting against you and Lera's special moves." Yuna said, sensing the resistance generated by the Void domain and immediately retracting all of the Wave back into her body before supressing its movement, allowing the Void domain to dominate the flow of the Wave, in exchange for free movements of her body, "I have seen the best of your tricks already!"
"No you haven't." Wu smiled, darting forward with blasts of Wave powering behind his movements. Battles on this world is as much about the raw strength and power you have as it is about clever use of powers and matchups between opponents. Without any ranged attacks like Matty or Braka, Yuna will be stuck in the Void Domain as Wu moves around with his Void suit blasting the Wave from his arms and feet.
With his fist accelerated by a blast, Wu punched Yuna right in the arms before raising his knees into a strike, knocking Yuna back briefly. Instantly, Yuna knew she couldn't fight Wu in the Void Domain, as he is not only far stronger physically than Lera at the base level, but also is able to take advantage of enhanced speed and power by using the Wave, even while in the Void Domain.
So she turned tailed and ran without hesitation, her body darting in between trees and making Wu's chase far more tricky then it had to be. Then, from the moment she got free of Wu's Void Domain range, the familiar sensation of Wave returning back to her body as she instantly powered up to her strongest form.
"Surging Tiger: King of the Jungle!" Yuna shouted, dropping onto all fours as the pale outline of a white tiger coated her body and expanded out further. She glared towards Wu, and animalistic low growl leaking out before she cocked back and roared. A massive blast of soundwave clashed right into Wu as he turned around the corner.

"Tsk!" Wu grunted painfully as his ears rang and his mind disoriented. Slowing his speed, Wu then activated Void Domain around as Yuna dashed out of his line of sight.
So far, the effective range of Void Domain in a cone in front of Wu can get up to twenty meters, but when he turned that into a unidirectional area of effect attack, then it's range is actually shockingly limited, going as far as five meters before most proficient Wave users are able to use their powers fully.
Unless he got it supercharged like the sexy time he shared with Ver...Wu shook his head and forced himself to focus on the present. He slowly pivoted around, his eyes dashing from one region to the other when Yuna moved even faster than before. Lily must have shared the range limitations of Void Domain with Yuna, along with the previous exchange was Yuna experiencing that for herself.
"ROARRR!" Yuna's battlecry came from above him, and the shockwave slammed down onto Wu, the impact becoming almost too great to bear as Wu immediately activated bubble bubble as his futile response. Though Lera's shield were able to somewhat mitigate Yuna's range attacks, the fact that a shield had to be projected around him meant Void Domain had to be shut off.
And that's all the counter-play Yuna needed. She bounced in between trees before pouncing onto Wu's shields, her claws tearing through the layers of Bubble bubble before she pressed Wu down onto the ground. However, before she could attack further, Wu turned his wrist towards her, a concentrated black beam sweeping over her body and severing the flow of the Wave within her body wherever the beam went.
That wasn't enough to freeze up Yuna completely, but it was able to disrupt her King of the Jungle form as the pale outline of the white tiger flickered in and out of existence. Fighting the after effects of her unstable power, Yuna slammed her fist down before the dark beam swiped passed her eyes.
Everything went grey within Yuna's field of vision, and Wu fired off a blast from underneath his feet, freeing himself as Yuna was thrown off balance, her body somersalting before she reached towards the ground and landed in a soft roll.
She rubbed her eyes and tried to refocus. All Wave users naturally reinforce their eyesight by running the Wave through it, and when Wu's Void Domain laser cut through Yuna's eyes, it severely disrupted what she could see. However, if Yuna is to rely on her Wave-sensing abilities, then Wu might as well be completely invisible...
"You sure fight dirty, Wu." Yuna smiled, leaping back and dropping down low, instead relying on her hearing in conjunction with her blurry vision to stand guard.
"So...why are you here, specifically?" Wu asked, his voice coming from behind Yuna as she spun around rapidly.
"Take a guess~" Yuna said, squatting down and watching Wu's grey outline with interest.
"Since we both have the same number of fighters...You aren't exactly gaining any tactical advantage by coming here..." Wu said, slowly stepping away, "And me being here is also wasting time...unless your plan is exactly that..."
Wu blinked a few times, then he quickly tapped on his wrist, calling for Lera once again. However, this time, it was as if he had been trapped within a Void Domain himself, as the communication Cast seemed to be completely unresponsive.
"Hmm..." Wu pondered, watching Yuna closely as he redirected more Wave from the One-Shotter into the communication Cast, but still, there was nothing. Knowing something must have gone wrong, Wu rapidly activated his Void suit, blasting off when Yuna immediately sensed the shift in the Wave and lunged towards him.
"Void Domain Special!" Wu said, shutting down the flow of the Wave around Yuna, but she already reached top speed and tackled him down to the ground. Her hands moving rapidly and tearing off the soles of his boots, breaking apart the Cast lines near it.
"No...you are not going anywhere~" Yuna said.
"Neither will you!" Wu shot back.
"And that's the point. Because I know my teammates will do their jobs to perfection, just like I will mine."
Even if the Surging Tiger style did not bring Yuna absolute Victory, she would still be able to ensure that no matter who was sent to take care of her, he or she will be forced to stay here, allowing for Lily and Matty's vanguard to do their trick.
After all, in a game of five on five, it's about using tactics and exploiting matchups.
And there are no worse matchups for Lera and Ver than Lily and Matty.
