"Die, sinner! Bow before our justice!"
"Judgment! Receive your judgment!"
The Magic Armor Beasts screamed as they lunged at Yugo and Marcos with a flurry of thrusts and kicks.
But every strike was either parried or evaded. Not a single blow landed—they weren't even close.
One of the monsters, fueled by frustration, wound up for a massive swing. Yugo instantly saw through the amateurish move, which left the beast wide open. He slipped inside its guard and buried a sharp elbow into its midsection, leaving it doubled over in agony.
"Ugh... gah...!"
"You keep shouting about 'justice' this and 'justice' that," Yugo said, looking down at the staggering beast. "But the moment you use that word as an excuse to impose your will on others, you stop being a hero. 'Never fight for the sake of justice'... that’s Hero’s Condition #9. Commit it to memory."
The beast groaned, hacking as if it were about to retch. Yugo stepped in, channeling magic power into his left arm. His fist ignited with a crimson radiance before he drove it upward into the creature’s jaw.
"My Style Special Move! Crimson Rising Punch!"
"Ghabh...!"
Caught by a textbook uppercut, the Magic Armor Beast’s consciousness was snuffed out before it could even scream. It traced a clean arc through the air before slamming onto the hospital floor, its transformation dissolving as it slumped into a heap.
"I-impossible...! Lord Kurotobari gave us this power! How could a brat like you—!?"
"It's a matter of experience. I've fought plenty of guys like you. I’m not going to struggle against an amateur who just got their hands on some power."
"Grrr... in that case!"
Seeing two of its comrades fall in the blink of an eye to children they had mocked, the remaining Magic Armor Beast turned its eyes toward the nurse it had been terrorizing.
It tried to lunge for her to take a hostage and turn the tide, but Yugo’s fist met its face before it could even take a step.
"I already know what you're thinking. Not a chance."
"Agh!? Ah!?"
As the beast staggered back from the punch, Marcos clamped his Giga Scissors around its waist and hoisted it into the air. The two boys shared a brief look over the flailing monster and coordinated their next move with a single nod.
"Let's end this, Yugo!"
"Right behind you!"
They both took off at a sprint.
Marcos charged forward while holding the beast aloft, while Yugo flooded his legs with magic power as he closed the distance. It took less than a second for Yugo to complete his preparations. He launched himself toward the monster trapped in Marcos's grip and delivered a devastating flying kick, discharging all his stored magic power in an instant.
"Blaster Super-Electromagnetic Crusher!"
"Goberogeeeh!"
The impact acted like a massive magnetic discharge, blasting the target away. As Yugo landed, the beast crashed into the floor, reverting to its human form while still pinned by the Giga Scissors.
"That’s the last of them. You lot had better stay put until the Security Force arrives."
With their transformed fighters defeated, the remaining members of the Society of Friends of the Night lost their will to fight. They allowed themselves to be restrained by the doctors and nurses without further resistance.
Once the hospital was secure, Yugo and Marcos deactivated their Magic Items and began to discuss the surge of similar incidents plaguing the city.
