Live A Hero Chapter 2 Episode 12: The Strong Armed New Hero Arrives

We tune in with Mokdai running up to the towering giant Kaibutsu before his eyes, the one that looks exactly like the one that cast a shadow over his life once before. It growls for a moment before noticing him, and Akashi calls out to Mokdai to tell him of this. Mokdai is taken by surprise by this, and his lack of experience in fighting means he's not sure how to actually handle this.
 
The Kaibutsu raises its arm and swings full force at where Mokdai is. Large gashes are left on the ground, but Mokdai turns out to be fine as sighs about how he made it through the attack. He comments on being lighter than he thought he'd be, but he credits that as what saved him. It turns out at the last second before the monster's attack landed, Mokdai had jumped up and grabbed onto the thing's arm, and now he's on the upper arm portion.
 
Akashi sighs in relief after the worrying he went through, and Gammei comments on the remarkable jumping ability and high power output Mokdai has despite his appearance. Victom theorizes that Mokdai's Parallel Weapon is amplifying his original stat line, and if the Parallel Weapons they mainly use to attack with flying tools are body extension types, Mokdai's is an ability amplifier type. Akashi nods at this, saying that Mokdai was already strong to begin with, so it'd be natural to think it'd make him even more powerful.
 
Mokdai clambers on up on the Kaibutsu, and he comments that he thought he'd be tired, but it was surprisingly not an issue for him to get up there. The monster is surprised as Mokdai manages to get up on top of its shoulders, and he says it's his turn as he goes to punch the thing across its head. This single attack knocks the thing off balance, to its and your shock. Akashi freaks out for a second trying to get out of the way, then yells over to Mokdai to remind him that the rest of them are fighting down below.
 
Mokdai quickly apologizes, saying he wasn't expecting to have this much force behind his punches. He was actually attempting a light jab to start with, baffling Akashi since they were trying their best to attack the Kaibutsu, so he's in disbelief a light jab could send it reeling. Mokdai insists that's really all the force he was trying to use at that point, so Gammei comments on the absurd strength he has. Barrel however points out that it really did seem to put a dent into the monster. Maybe its guard got broken, but at least it's stopped bouncing everyone's attacks back. Furlong asks Mokdai to keep attacking the thing's head and suggests that it might be its weak point. Mokdai is surprised at the idea, but he follows the suggestion and starts swinging away.
 
With every punch and kick he throws, Mokdai's heavy attacks cause the Kaibutsu's body to shake. The impacts are also causing the ground party to shake too as Akashi yells, but Suhail points out that the monster is definitely taking damage as it shrinks after every attack. You look yourself, and you can definitely see it's smaller than before when it reached the clouds. It's now down to about shoulder level with Raidark's skyscraper HQ. You tell Mokdai it's working, so he decides he should go for a stronger attack as he leaps up high above the Kaibutsu's head.
 
Mokdai calls out to you for your support. You check your phone, and the addition of a new hero has capped out the view count. You tell Mokdai the finisher can be unleashed and urge him to go for it as you click on the command window to confirm the use of the finishing move. Mokdai's arm attachments start glowing brightly, and he readies them as he falls down and calls out his finisher, Pulverizer "Megaton Crush."
 
The mighty blow to the Kaibutsu's head causes it to get crushed like a can, and it falls to the ground with a huge crash. The shattering of countless cores echo out, and light starts seeping out from the monster's body. It shakes its head dazed, and it is now the size of a four story building. Suhail is impressed by this display while Barrel is surprised at how many cores were destroyed in this one attack. Mokdai cheers to himself about how well that worked for a brief moment, only to start freaking out when he falls out of the air.
 
Mokdai falls out of the sky like a brick through several hundred meters. Victom quickly leads Furlong into rescuing Mokdai from this predicament and catches him using his rope. Incredibly no one is injured in the course of this, though Furlong does acknowledge how heavy Mokdai is. Mokdai gets the breath knocked out of him for a second before he thanks the two. Victom says they should actually be thanking him, calling him a new hero and saying he did good. Furlong says they won't waste his bravery and will rally themselves here.
 
The three regroup with the rest of the party, and you point out that the Kaibutsu has weakened, so now's your chance to take it out in one shot. Akashi nods and says he won't let the chance Mokdai opened up slip by, and Suhail comments on how well a newborn hero is handling things. Gammei initially says he's doing this for the pride of the police before he decides upon doing this for their hero's honor instead. Barrel is getting fired up as he yells for people to burn the wildlands' bodyguard's gun skills into their eyes.
 
Victom turns to Furlong and says they're in this too, and when the battle is over they're rescuing everyone that was taken by the Kaibutsu. Furlong acknowledges the instructions and says he'll save them explosively. Mokdai is amazed at all the heroes standing next to him and fighting on the same side, then asks them to help him so that they can all take the monster down for good. The whole party yells affirmatively, and then the episode battle launches.
