Chapter 303
Haruto Saito's head could be described as super hard!
After all, the skull is already the hardest part of the human body, and its shape further enhances its defensive properties. If struck with a stick, arms and legs can easily be broken, but it's rare to see a fractured skull.
Of course, this was just a minor reason. The main reason his head was so tough was due to his unique bone structure!
However, while Haruto Saito's bones were hard, the pain he was experiencing was internal! He had an extremely severe concussion. The fact that he didn't pass out from the powerful blow meant that his mental fortitude was exceptionally strong.
"It hurts... hurts so much... I'm dying here..." Haruto Saito rolled on the ground in agony, trembling as he reached into his storage space and pulled out a medium healing card.
*Crunch!* He bit down on the card and swallowed it.
The healing card could heal all of his injuries. As soon as he consumed it, the pain vanished, and the wounds on his body rapidly healed. Within just a few breaths, Haruto Saito stood up and exhaled deeply.
"That was close... Good thing my bones are tough!" he muttered to himself.
He had been fighting against Momochi Akagen with all his might, but he hadn't truly intended to risk his life. He knew his bones were incredibly strong, so even if he got hit, it was unlikely he would suffer immediate fatal injuries. He wouldn't have his limbs severed or be cut in half.
Moreover, he had noticed a flaw in Momochi Akagen's combat tactics.
At the start of their fight, Momochi Akagen had used his secret body-flicker techniques repeatedly, overwhelming Haruto Saito and sending him flying multiple times. He had displayed overwhelming power, seemingly aiming to force Haruto Saito to reveal the location of the treasure. But after that initial burst, he had stopped using those techniques entirely.
