Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: The Final Battle Begins! Navar Vs Overlord Part 1!

"Overlord..." Pikati fixates his gaze on Overlord, feeling a deep pang welling within.

Navar's forehead becomes slick with nervous sweat as he trembles before the immense power of Overlord. "It's one thing to fight him with everyone else helpin' me, but it's another thing to fight him alone. He's strong, very strong. Do I even have a shot in the world at beatin' him?" He clenches the hilt of his sword tight to steady his trembling hand. "Get a grip, Navar! You have to save Ozania. Bein' scared ain't gonna change that..."

Navar and Overlord face each other, their eyes locked in a tense stare. "So, you have the resolve to face me once again? Why do you persist, even knowing what your empire did to my people?"

Navar's expression shifts from anxious to sympathetic as he grasps the weight of Overlord's question. "You can save the questions. I know everything about what happened to the Goblins. I don't agree about how they handled the whole situation, and what happened to you is cruel, but that still doesn't give you the right to kill millions of innocent people!"

Overlord's brow furrows as his face flashes a display of anger. "Millions of innocent people?! You dare call those murderers innocent!" Fury courses through him as he clenches his fists. "I'll make you take back the foolish statement you spouted," Overlord aims his index finger toward Navar, conjuring Flame JōKai that flickers and crackles with searing heat. "Flame Summoning: Blazing Finger Cannon!" The narrow Flame JōKai wave charges at Navar, its intense heat causing the rocks to liquefy.

"Ah! That's deadly!" Navar executes a swift roll to the right, avoiding the searing heat that would have incinerated him.

Overlord channels JōKai Amplification around himself, strengthening his body and launching himself at Navar. Overlord's leg slices through the air as he delivers a powerful sidekick to Navar's ribs, sending him stumbling backward. As Navar receives the kick, traces of blood spurt from his mouth, and he tumbles across the arena, crashing into a wall.

After struggling for seemingly an eternity, Pikati wriggles free from being wedged between the steering wheel and the seat. As he observes Navar's struggle to recover, Pikati's mind races with ideas for aiding him. "This isn't good. Navar isn't anywhere near strong enough to fight Overlord on his own. I need to figure something out fast!" Suddenly, his mind undergoes a burst of inspiration, and a bright idea takes hold. "That's it! I'll activate the ship's cannon and shoot him while he's distracted. Whatever you do, Navar… hold on."

Navar attempts to stand but doubles over in pain, clutching his stomach to ease the pain. Overlord's scowl deepens as he stares at Navar. "Why do you continue to fight? Are you that determined to defeat me?"

Navar's lips twist into a wicked smile as he looks at Overlord, his white eyes shining with confidence. "You think you can make me quit after one kick? Think again!" Navar centers his body and grasps his blade with both hands.

"Your blind ignorance is the reason you're so weak. Being over-reliant on such insipid ideas only leads to a life full of failure," Overlord summons Wind JōKai onto his arms and, with a flick of his wrist, sends two waves of raging winds toward Navar. "Wind Summoning: Squalling Push!"

Navar's grip on his blade tightens as he plants his feet on the ground, ready to defend himself. "Okayasu Blade: Okayasu Parry!" Navar's blade clashes with the wind, and the force is so strong that he's flung into the air. He slams into the wall and falls to the ground, his face hitting the pavement as he loses consciousness.

Overlord scoffs and summons Spark JōKai on his finger, the electric power crackling with energy as he aims in Navar's direction. What a waste of my time. I'll give you a quick death, so the painful memory of our worthless fight will go away."

"I got you now, bastard!"

"What?" As Overlord turns, he sees Pikati poised to unleash a green ball of ion energy from the transport ship's cannon. "Cannon Firing!" Overlord is sent flying several meters into a wall by the forceful impact of the green ball. The meteoric impact causes hundreds of pieces of debris to rain down on him. Pikati jumps out of his chair and shakes Navar's shoulder. "Navar! Are you alright?"

Despite the intense battle damage leaving Navar's left eye swollen and his breathing labored, he still gives Pikati an unwavering, confident smile. "Yeah, I'm still breathing, aren't it?"

"Good, I just shot him with a cannon, hopefully-" Pikati lets out a piercing scream as a thin stream of water pierces through his collarbone.

"Pikati!"

"Did you really think a lowly cannon could defeat me? Think again," As Overlord draws near, Navar and Pikati feel the ground tremble beneath his heavy footsteps and see the anger in his eyes.

"Any ideas, Pikati?"

"No. I was betting it all on that attack. Transport ship's cannons even pack more of a punch than Heavy ship's cannons. The fact he can just take the full brunt force of something that can level an entire city is insane."

"As expected from a failure. You were part of an assembly of Goblin and Elf soldiers that did nothing but produce empty results from me. I should have disposed of such trash when I had the chance years ago. Letting you linger around is an embarrassment to me and my army."

Overlord's statement makes Navar so angry that he clenches his fists and digs them into the ground. "You jerk... don't you ever call him trash," Navar stands tall and proud, his eyes glinting with fierce determination. "He's a hell of a lot better than you! He doesn't go killing thousands of people! I'll make you regret sayin' those words to him!!" Navar charges towards Overlord with his sword raised high above his right shoulder, ready to strike.

"Navar, wait! Don't go! We need to come up with a plan!"

Before Navar can even blink, Overlord moves so fast that he invades his space. He disarms Navar, throws his sword aside, and punches him with a right hook using JōKai Amplification. Navar is sent flying, causing him to collide with a beam and land hard on his back. "Once again, your feeble emotions cloud your judgment and impede you from realizing how pitiful and weak you are. Face the facts, your planet is about to be destroyed, and there's nothing you can do."

Navar's eyes meet Overlord's as he wipes away the stream of blood, determination etched on his face. "Teh, so long as Pikati and I are breathing, there's still hope to stop you."

"Hope? If I were to break your body apart limb from limb, would you give up and accept it? Or would you still flail around like a fool?"

"Yes, I would! I'll never back down, ever! Even if my legs, arms, and eyes are gone, I'll find a way to keep fightin' no matter what!" Declares Navar.

"I'll prove otherwise. It seems you need a reality check," Overlord summons Spark JōKai and forms it on his fingers, then flings it at Navar with a fierce gesture. "Spark Summoning: Four Finger Vaporizing Shock Cannon!" The Spark JōKai beams hit Navar, sending electric shockwaves through his body and causing him to collapse.

His body becomes frozen in place, unable to move after being shocked. "I-I can't move, dammit."

Overlord places his hand near the rocky terrain, and it shifts around Navar. "Now it's time to give you a fitting end," Navar finds himself engulfed as the rocks close around him. "Hard Terrain Manipulation:..." Navar watches in horror as the floor beneath him submerges him underneath, all caused by Overlord clenching his fists. "Death Coffin!"

"Navar!" says Pikati.
