83 – 83. Domain(靈域).
─…Dare to kill a god?
After a moment of silence, the demon did not hide his displeasure.
Occasionally tilting his head, it was unclear if his gestures were genuine, which seemed to puzzle him.
The Black Dragon, causing dark red lightning to ripple across his entire body, spoke solemnly.
─I thought you were quite extraordinary, but you’re nothing more than a human who hasn’t even experienced the realm of divinity. You don’t understand my purpose and simply prattle foolishly.
“Well, I like to think I understand quite well?”
─It’s typical for fools to believe they are clever.
Despite Ichimaru Shiki’s words, the dragon ignored him, surveying the entirely dark world.
─Creation. Overlaying one’s domain onto the world is a feat worthy of praise for humans, but for a god, it’s a basic ability everyone can possess.
The dragon, thousands of years before the man before him, who had ascended to divinity, snorted.
─Merely constructing a world doesn’t mean you can rival a god. Today, the four who have long avoided misfortune have finally sealed their fate.
The demon mocked as he declared,
─Ignorant one, this is how the world is meant to be.
Kwa-rung! Qua-rurung─!
Several red lightning bolts struck the black space, causing cracks to form from the ceiling.
As if pouring red paint into black water, a sinister glow spread through the space.
Thud! From where the foot landed, cliffs rose, and soon, crimson lava boiled through the crevices.
Upon this land of death, the bodies of humans, now blackened, lay strewn with gravestones.
──The Hell of Black Bone and Extreme Heat.
The world was no longer shrouded solely in darkness.
The air was filled with the smell, heat, sound, and despair of death, personally sent by the gods.
The scent of corpses permeated the area.
As if everything would be incinerated, the lava erupted in anger, painting a fiery dragon.
The black bones lying on the ground, awakened by a sense of enmity, rose to face the enemies of the gods.
“How dare a mere disciple who has just realized transcendence speak of killing a god.”
The demon found it truly amusing.
Burning the two rubies on its head, it looked down at the foolish figure before it, moving its six hands to command its kin.
Following the will of the gods, a suit of iron armor materialized on the grotesque bones of the corpses, and weapons were wielded in their hands.
Once mere bones, the corpses now stood as a disciplined army in full armor.
As the demon blessed them once more, a black flame erupted over the entire bodies of the dead.
The army advanced without a hint of fear, solely towards the enemies of their god, brandishing their weapons.
“Trample them under the hooves of the dead to make them realize their place.”
The demon understood.
The man with the clear eyes, the exorcist, had long realized that he had transcended humanity.
Though not one to die by mere corpses, the world created by the gods was not a place where laws were defined by the mere hierarchy of humans.
The realm was indeed the universe of souls.
It was only natural for those who dared to trespass into the domain of the gods to be trampled underfoot by their kin.
They could never prevail.
Once the audacious realm of humans began to encroach, it was a predetermined fate to be trampled underfoot by their kin.
“To dare challenge the gods to a battle of realms. No matter how human, there is a limit to foolishness…”
As the demon watched the army of the dead crossing the land, it suddenly realized a change.
Thud—The black area that was gradually being engulfed by hell had firmly held its ground from the middle.
The legion of corpses had now crossed the boiling lava and stepped into the pitch-black cosmos.
Only the man with clear eyes shone brightly in the black area, as the legion stumbled into it.
“Oh, was it not supposed to be walked upon?”
Ichimaru Shiki shrugged his shoulders with his usual nonchalant face.
“I am confident in winning, you see.”
The alien black and white flames.
As he grasped the sword, the flames that had once blazed on the blade now adhered to the ground.
It was like a wave that came instantly. A wave of fire that engulfed the entire legion.
More precisely, it incinerated the legion of corpses that had fallen into the black area.
Crackle—!
The black bones, now grounded on the dark earth, were consumed by the alien flames where black and white coexisted.
It didn’t take long for the flames of exorcism to attach to all the skeletal bodies.
Even standing on the lava, the bodies of the corpses melted away in an instant.
The endless army that had stood there vanished completely.
“Oh, have you made them too weak?”
The man, looking at the legion that disappeared in a matter of seconds, could only smile.
“Regrettably, was it too feeble?”
There was a clear mocking tone in the man’s eyes and the curve of his mouth, like a crescent moon.
─How dare you!
There are times when anger surges beyond embarrassment or vanity.
And now, the demon was just like that.
How dare a mere human dare to rebel against him?
The black dragon, filled with anger, glared fiercely, exhaling a fierce breath into his mouth.
A heat of a different scale from the flames drawn out by a mere human soul.
─Dragon Cannon!!!
From Noble mtl dot com
It was another expression of anger.
A massive amount of magic power compressed to the limit, taking the form of a ray of pitch-black flame.
From ignition to reaching the target point was truly a moment.
──────────!!!
Feeling the space itself tremble with the amount of power that transcended suddenly, the man with sharp eyes quietly extended the sword in his hand.
Without a hint of hesitation, he twisted the monochrome blade with a sly smile on his face.
Quaadddeuk───!!! Then, along the sword’s edge, the flame was split.
─This is outrageous…!
The astonished dragon intensified the firepower, yet the man still slashed through the flames.
Within the split flame like a crimson sea, the man suddenly tilted his head and murmured quietly.
“You’re less impressive than I thought.”
Seems like the expectations were too high.
The muttering man soon raised the corners of his mouth again and tilted his head.
Swiftly raising the sword upwards, he completely cleaved through the flame.
With a swish, amidst the scattering embers, Byakuya appeared.
Seeing the bewildered expression on the dragon’s face, Ichimaru Shiki mocked, “I thought a godly being had come, and I was ready to treat them with respect. But this is just disappointing.”
─How dare a mere human like you! To dare speak such nonsense! Do you think that attack was all I’ve got?
“Oh, was it not?”
─Oh, it was. Show me everything you’ve got.
Crackling! The demon raised a black thunderstorm around his body, igniting a fierce flame in his red eyes.
Rumble! Rumble! Simultaneously, crimson lightning bolts struck down in the hellish red death.
The disaster, akin to a natural phenomenon, was directly manipulated by the demon, elevated to a higher realm.
─Black Thunderous Heaven.
The black thunderstorm condensed to the extreme, forming a perfect sphere.
Even though compressed beyond limits, its scale was as immense as any meteor in the sky.
Moreover, the amount of energy contained within it was beyond measure.
“Well, isn’t this the same repertoire as before?”
─…Besides standing firm, there is no meaning in you and your domain. I will shatter it all at once!
With a furious determination, the demon decided not to listen to the human’s rambling anymore.
With a will as intense as if he had never been so angry in his long life, he projected the thunderstorm.
As it touched the ground, the meteor of destruction that would annihilate everything fell.
Crackle! Sizzle!
Despite everything around turning dark, the man still didn’t lose his smile.
“Well, I expected this.”
Baek Yacha, Ichimaru Shiki, opened his thin eyes and looked at the god in front of him.
The heavy yet sharp turquoise pupils contained the mighty dragon of the vast sky.
Comparing them while recalling a distant presence from his memories.
“Indeed, you are still far lacking.”
A soul transcending humanity wielded a sword.
A sword burning in the flames of the soul.
No longer constrained by the form of the sword, he suddenly reached out with empty hands.
“Well, it’s customary to rehearse before the actual performance.”
Bare hands and the black brain jade.
His fragile hands met the calamity of the burning joints of the god without flinching.
Yet the man seemed unperturbed. He simply smiled and muttered.
“Let’s leave it at that.”
– Reversal.
A single word reverberated in his mind.
As the man’s will spread, the calamity of the demon disappeared.
The entity that would annihilate everything was annihilated in an instant.
– …Huh?
As even the demon stood in awe, dumbfounded, the man with the real eyes pointed at the dragon in the sky without a hint of hesitation.
The turquoise pupils gazed menacingly at their prey.
Ichimaru Shiki drew out his own weapon stored in his soul.
– Release.
A white sword emerged in the black area.
“Manbaegumhwa.”
At that moment, the universe vividly manifested.
The demon belatedly realized that the whole world, now darkened, had been engulfed.
His domain was consumed in an instant without a chance to resist, leaving him speechless.
– …!
However, the dragon could neither rage nor show astonishment.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of white swords impaled the demon’s body.
Swords born from the god’s flesh and the blood blossoming from his wounds.
As the black dragon’s colossal body convulsed on the dark ground, the man tilted his head as if expecting it.
“Indeed, you are weak.”
Ichimaru Shiki simply smiled.
Mc really has that Gojo rizz
