Chapter 116: Corrosion

“Uraaaaaaah!!”

Bugras swung a significantly larger transformed spear and charged. The spear, when swung, extended to nearly twice its original length in an instant.

I countered the sweeping spear with my sword, but in the unsupported air, I couldn’t absorb the impact and was once again thrown into the sky.

“If there is light, you won’t be swallowed by darkness!? Don’t make me laugh! Human darkness cannot be suppressed with mere ideals!”

Bugras, flying at high speed, anticipated my position behind him and swung the spear. I immediately adjusted my posture and once again took the blow with my sword, only to be sent flying once more.

“The essence of humanity is darkness! Otherwise, why did we have to die!? Why were our corpses and families exposed and humiliated!?”

A tail sprouted from Bugras’s back, entwining around my ankles. While deflecting the thrust of the spear with my shield, I sliced off the tail with a scythe-sized swing.

“Why… won’t my hatred disappear even a fragment!?”

With a cry resembling a lament, Bugras swung the spear downward. The impact I received with my sword transmitted directly, and I fell to the ground at an incredible speed.

…It seems I can’t stop anymore. No matter how much time passes, Bugras’s hatred is deep and thick, unquenchable even after achieving revenge.

“…That’s why I have to stop.”

Falling to the ground, I focused my consciousness on Chaos Crusader. Suddenly, a darkness like fire overflowed from my entire body and enveloped me.

No longer will I be swallowed by darkness; the light within me prevents that.

Therefore, I can draw out more power from the darkness.

Just before colliding with the ground, my cloak expanded, stopping the fall. The cloak, now like wings shrouded in darkness, flew much faster than when descending.

“What!?”

Bugras exclaimed in shock. Once again, we faced each other as I ascended with wings of darkness fluttering.

“Black-clad Holy Army, Chaos Crusader…”

Because there is light… the stronger it is, the deeper and darker the darkness becomes. That was also a characteristic of Chaos Crusader, crowned in chaos.

“Eclipse Corrosion!”

Darkness flickered all over my body, bringing darkness like the moon that carries shadows to the sun’s back.

“Black-clad Holy Army, Chaos Crusader – Eclipse Corrosion”… This is the form I have reached, drawing out the most power at this moment by facing my own heart.

“I will end your darkness!”

“…There is no end to darkness!”

Colliding with wings and feathers fluttering, we flew through the air while dragging our tails. Each clash of the jet-black blade and the spearhead of hatred scattered sparks.

Descending with wings enveloping my entire body, I swung the sword in a spinning motion. Bugras defended with the spear, but the impact sent him flying.

Bugras, growling with the sound of grinding teeth, charged. When I intercepted and locked blades, three pairs of sharp claws on Bugras’s side burst out and opened.

“Die!”

Sharp six claws approached, but just before they pierced my back, numerous swords sprang from my wings, blocking the claws.

Using Wind Leap, I kicked into the air above Bugras, performed a somersault, and delivered a heel drop.

The heel struck Bugras’s forehead, shattering the carapace and knocking him down.

“…Damn it! Ughhh!”

Bugras, filled with anger, writhed, and insects flew out. The insects, with unpleasant cries and wingbeats, approached.

The flying insects pursued me. Aligning myself in a straight line, I spread my wings to the maximum, grabbed crossbows with both hands, and took a defensive stance.

Simultaneously with the crossbow, dozens of arrows were fired from my wings. The insects approaching in a straight line were pierced by the arrow wall, losing momentum.

Turning my body aside, I rushed towards Bugras while the insects exploded towards me. Bugras sent the exploding insects towards me. Inflating his body as he flew, he pierced the flying insects with arrows, impaled them with a lance, and swung forcefully to blow away the others.

Approaching the impending swarm of insects, I slashed them apart, breaking through the explosion, and pierced Bugras’s chest with the sword in my hand.

“Guh! This… is the end!”

“Goodbye.”

The sword in my hand transformed, changing into a gigantic greatsword in an instant. I cleaved Bugras from the inside.

Swinging the massive sword horizontally, Bugras’s body was severed from the chest down, falling away.

Continuing the momentum, I rotated and slashed upward. The right arm and wing, sprinkling body fluid, were severed, and Bugras, with the remaining left arm stretched out towards the sky, fell to the
