'Boom~~!!!' Another thunderous explosion echoed in all directions.
Vegeta and Ragar were locked in a fierce struggle, and at this moment, their battle erupted in full force.
Vegeta went all out, fully unleashing the Prince's fighting style without holding back in the slightest.
His overwhelming attacks, like a raging storm, crashed down on Ragar. The ferocity of his assault was on a completely different level compared to his earlier fight with Nappa.
Every strike went straight for Ragar's vital points. This terrifying offense was all attack, no defense, as if Vegeta intended to crush Ragar in one fell swoop.
However, as the strongest Namekian of this era, how could Ragar possibly be defeated by Vegeta so easily?
After sensing Vegeta's immense power, Ragar, excited, unleashed his full power in his base form.
But relying solely on all of his base power was still not enough to withstand Vegeta's onslaught. Forced into a corner, Ragar drew from an even deeper well of energy within himself.
Faint golden arcs of electricity began to flicker around his aura.
The situation shifted slightly, and the two launched into a battle of evenly matched fists and kicks.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...' The clash of their blows was incredibly intense and exhilarating.
As their fight grew even fiercer, their bodies collided in the air, sending sparks flying and stirring up storm after storm.
The two weaved through the arena and midair, their movements growing ever faster.
In just a few seconds, they had already exchanged hundreds of blows.
Vegeta, who focused only on offense, had now encountered a worthy opponent.
Because he realized that Ragar's insight into offense was actually on par with his own.
The two had traded hundreds of moves, with each attack being countered and neutralized by the other.
This situation made both of their eyes light up, their blazing fighting spirit burning even hotter.
'Bang!!'
Vegeta's punch landed on the right side of Ragar's face.
'Bang!!'
Ragar's upward kick struck Vegeta squarely on the chin.
After both sustaining varying degrees of injuries, they simultaneously put some distance between them, landing on opposite sides of the arena.
"Not bad. As expected of an opponent chosen by me." Vegeta wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned excitedly.
"Your strength isn't bad, either. This is the most satisfying battle I've had besides my fight with Talot," Ragar replied, wiping the blood from his own mouth and praising Vegeta.
Hearing Ragar's compliment, Vegeta remained unmoved, only giving a cold snort.
What he hated most was being compared to Talot.
"It seems you've misunderstood the extent of my strength. This is just the beginning. Open your eyes and watch carefully. This is my true power!" With that, Vegeta immediately drew from an even deeper energy pool within.
He now fully acknowledged Ragar's strength, so there was no need to keep hiding. Time to show his true skills!
'Crackle~~!!!'
Streaks of blue and white lightning exploded around Vegeta, his golden aura blasting out in jets, and his spiky golden hair stood on end like furious flames!
His battle genes and the S-cells in his body were fully activated. Right now, Vegeta felt as if the blood in his veins was boiling, making him crave battle intensely. The Saiyan's warlike nature was almost impossible to suppress!
In his Super Saiyan 2 form, his power level soared directly past 1 billion.
...
In the backstage rest area.
"As expected, Vegeta has already mastered Super Saiyan 2, but his base form's strength is too weak," Raditz said.
He had noticed it as early as Vegeta's previous fight with Nappa.
It was just that Vegeta's transformation was so fast then. He defeated Nappa in the blink of an eye and then exited the form.
Aside from him, probably only Salari and Talot had noticed it.
"He must have only recently completed Super Saiyan 2. His control over the power still needs improvement," Salari explained.
"That Vegeta… has already made it this far? I really am way behind." Nappa's jaw dropped as he watched Vegeta's transformation, remembering their previous fight.
Back then, he'd wondered why Vegeta had managed to defeat him instantly while he was in Super Kaio-ken state.
So it turns out… he'd relied on the power of Super Saiyan 2.
"So strong, Vegeta's aura is already far beyond Ragar's!" Goku was shocked by Vegeta's strength.
Thinking back to when Vegeta first arrived on Earth, his base power level was impressive, but he couldn't transform into a Super Saiyan, so Goku had always been far ahead. But now, looking at the situation—
Not only had Vegeta's base power level far surpassed his own, but he'd also mastered the Super Saiyan 2 transformation…
Without realizing it, he had been left so far behind by Vegeta!
"The real show is yet to come, just watch." Talot crossed his arms, quietly observing Vegeta and Ragar's fierce battle.
Though Vegeta was powerful, Ragar's strength was by no means inferior.
Ever since their battle, Ragar had awakened part of the Dragon God's power. So much time had passed since then. Talot didn't believe for a second that Ragar hadn't made any progress.
After all, even Nail and Piccolo were now able to harness a sliver of the Dragon God's power.
...
Back in the arena.
Once the Super Saiyan 2 transformation stabilized, the corners of Vegeta's mouth practically curled to the sky, overflowing with confidence.
"Other than that Nappa, you're the second person to make me willingly bring out Super Saiyan 2 in battle. Prepare yourself!" With the power of Super Saiyan 2, Vegeta's aura was like a rainbow, and he became even more arrogant and domineering.
Other than Raditz, Salari, and Talot, he didn't take anyone else seriously.
With the boost from Super Saiyan 2, he was supremely confident that no one could be his match. Even though Ragar was strong, to him, it was nothing special.
At this moment, Ragar was completely unfazed by Vegeta's words. He was sizing up Vegeta from head to toe.
In just a few glances, he had already gauged the general strength of Vegeta in Super Saiyan 2.
