Buzz—!
The sapphire at the top of the staff suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
An extre chill, centered on Gandalf, instantly swept across the surrounding area for several kiloters.
The air that was moving was put on pause.
Click! Click! Click!
Countless visible ice crystals condensed in the void.
The dozen or so streaks of black smoke that were frantically fleeing had not yet escaped the ruins before crashing into this white, frigid domain.
"squeak--!!!"
A piercing shriek ca from the black smoke.
The invisible and intangible smoke was frozen, and its speed suddenly decreased.
White frost spread along with the smoke, freezing the originally illusory ghostly aura into a solid black ice sculpture!
Kujo Masakage felt as if the space around him had turned into a giant piece of amber, and he was the insect trapped inside.
The biting cold seeped into his soul, making his thoughts sluggish.
"Get out of my way! Get out of my way!"
He struggled frantically in the black ice, trying to break free of these damned restraints.
Just then.
A chilling sense of crisis suddenly swept over him from behind.
That's the feeling of being targeted by a hunter.
Kujo Masakage turned his head with difficulty (even though he was now a cloud of smoke).
All that could be seen were the ruins of tall buildings in the distance.
The burly archer, Da Yi, was staring at him coldly.
The ancient longbow in Da Yi's hand had been drawn to its full extent.
There was {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} no arrow on the bowstring.
Instead, a beam of light ford from the brilliance of stars!
The terrifying energy contained within that beam of light caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.
【Starry Vision】 Locked in!
【Star Beacon】 triggered!
Da Yi loosened his grip.
"collapse!"
A muffled thunderous sound, like the trembling of a bowstring, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The starlight arrow was released from the bow.
It's too fast.
It's so fast that it exceeds the limits of retinal capture.
To everyone else, all they saw was a shooting star streaking across the night sky, piercing through the swirling snow and ice.
"No--!!!"
Kujo Masakage let out a desperate scream.
He tried to split, tried to hide, tried to build a shield with ghostly energy.
But before that deadly arrow, all struggles are in vain.
"Pfft!"
The starlight arrow struck the core of the black smoke with unparalleled precision.
boom!
Terrifying stellar power exploded within the black smoke.
The massive black smoke dissipated, and the nine shadows were forced to revert from their elental state and reform into physical entities.
At this mont, a large, transparent hole appeared in his chest!
No blood flowed from the edges of the wound; instead, it was charred into charcoal by the starlight.
"Aaaaaah!"
Kujo Masakage clutched his chest and staggered as he fell from the sky.
Before he even landed.
A brilliant golden light shone overhead.
The figure that terrified him to the core descended.
Gabriel appeared above the nine shadows as if he had teleported.
The holy light longsword in his hand was devoid of any fancy moves; he simply swung it downwards.
"Trial".
A detached voice rang out.
brush!
A thin golden line swept across the necks of the nine figures.
Kujo Masakage's horned, ferocious head flew high into the air.
My gaze is spinning.
He saw his own headless, enormous body, gushing black, foul blood, falling toward the ground.
He was...beheaded?
No!
It's not over yet!
I am the Ghost King!
Even after his head was severed, Kujo Masakage was still alive.
The head flying through the air had its eyes wide open, filled with resentnt and madness.
"Explode! Explode for , you bastard!"
With a fierce roar.
The headless corpse that was falling and the head that was flying in the air exploded at the sa ti!
Thud! Thud!
The blood and flesh that filled the sky did not fall to the ground, but instead transford into thousands upon thousands of palm-sized vampire bats in mid-air.
Each of these bats carries nine fragnts of the soul of the True Shadow.
As long as even one escapes!
As long as one survives!
He can be reborn by borrowing another's body!
"Squeak squeak squeak—!"
Countless bats emitted piercing cries and fled frantically in all directions.
Such an overwhelming number of arrows could not be intercepted even by the rain of arrows from Yi the Archer!
"Hahahaha! You can't kill ! You can't kill !"
All the bats opened their mouths at the sa ti, emitting the triumphant and manic laughter of the Nine True Shadows, which echoed in the air, layer upon layer.
"When I get back, I'll tear you all to pieces!"
Looking at the bats flying all over the sky.
Gabriel's handso face remained expressionless.
He simply hovered quietly in the air, slowly unfolding the six wings of light on his back.
"God said, 'There is nowhere for filth to hide.'"
Skill - 【Holy Light】!
boom!
Gabriel transford into a real, blazing sun.
Endless golden holy light, with its domineering and tyrannical manner, filled every inch of space.
This is not an attack.
This is cleaning.
This is a comprehensive, indiscriminate, and all-encompassing purification!
The bats that were frantically fleeing were instantly touched by the golden light.
There wasn't even ti to let out a scream.
Like snowflakes thrown into a furnace.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss—"
The sounds of countless burning flas filled the air.
One after another, one after another.
Tens of thousands of bats spontaneously combusted in this sacred light, turning into wisps of smoke.
No...no!!!
In the air, only the final roars of the nine shadowy figures, filled with resentnt and despair, remained.
"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"
"Kujou Hiroharu! Save ! Revive one more ti!"
"I am your ancestor! You cannot watch die!"
However.
There was no response.
Only the rciless holy light continued to burn away his last remaining mark on his soul.
finally.
The last bat turned to ashes in the golden light.
The piercing screams abruptly stopped.
Silence returned to the world.
Once arrogant and domineering, looking down on all living beings as ants, and attempting to rebuild the Cherry Blossom Country where a hundred demons parade, the SS-rank Demon King Kujo Masakage.
Completely vanished!
The holy light faded, and the dust settled.
In less than half an hour.
Two SS-level powerhouses, capable of suppressing the fate of a nation, have fallen.
If this achievent were to spread, it would be enough to cause a magnitude 10 earthquake in the entire professional community of Blue Star.
However, Zhou Huai, who was hovering high in the sky controlling Gabriel, frowned more and more.
Sothing's not right.
Everything went too smoothly.
It went so smoothly that it was unsettling.
Gabriel narrowed his pale golden eyes, his gaze piercing through layers of clouds and locking onto the direction of the Imperial Palace in Takamagahara, the center of Tokyo.
That place is the core of the Kujo family's power and also the most heavily defended place in the entire Sakura Country.
However, even after Kujo Masakage's soul was scattered and Wada Hirayama's body was completely destroyed, Kujo Hiroharu, the current head of the Kujo family and the mastermind behind this series of insane plans, never showed up.
"Our ancestors' ashes have been scattered, and yet the younger generation can still remain calm?"
Zhou Huai sneered inwardly, but the wariness in his eyes grew even stronger.
It wasn't just Kujo Hiroji.
The two SS-level reinforcents from the mysterious "Dawn Guild"—the man who always wore a white suit and had bizarre abilities, and the physically powerful bald giant, Bhadra—also vanished into thin air.
And then there's that crucial artifact—the 【Life Pendulum】.
They've all vanished without a trace.
