The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 116

Chapter 116: Rank

The blade of the God-killing Mistletin slashed deeply from Yomi’s shoulder to his waist. The strike, which shattered bones and severed the heart, was fatal by anyone’s standards.

The sword slipped from Yomi’s hand. The sound of it hitting the ground echoed as his empty hand pointed toward me, and he muttered.

“‘Die from the slash.’”

A wave of slashes rushed toward me. The number and force of the attacks far surpassed anything before, and soon, my armor was torn apart, and the strikes reached my body.

“Cough!?”

“Berg!”

My military outfit was torn away, and I was covered in bl00d when a water arm grabbed me and pulled me. At the same time, Amelie stepped forward, and arrows and light projectiles rushed toward Yomi.

The arrows pierced Yomi’s body. When the light projectiles made a hole in his abdomen, Amelie’s sword struck and severed Yomi’s neck.

Yomi’s body moved, and the severed head grabbed its own neck. At the same time, a forward kick sent Amelie flying, and the head faced upward as it released a voice incantation.

“‘Everyone die in an explosion.’”

The moment those words echoed, the barrier covering the entire castle shattered with a blast and a thunderous roar. As the barrier turned to dust and vanished in particles of light, Yomi reattached his head.

“A blade that can kill immortals… I see, such a weapon could indeed slay even low gods.”

As Yomi’s cold aura spread, his wounds began to heal, and his body returned to its original form. He looked at me as I received treatment from Serena.

“But I am the concept of death. Though this body is only a fragment of my power, it has become part of me… what you have slain was always something that could vanish, but death is not something that disappears. Therefore, that blade will not reach me.”

“Everyone, behind me!”

The moment Yomi raised his hand, I deployed a massive, pitch-black shield and moved forward. The instant I did, an invisible force struck at me.

“Your strength is indeed impressive. Despite being human, you have mastered powers not of man, and have even gained enough strength to rival that of a god.”

I braced myself, enduring the relentless onslaught. At that moment, Aria and Rakul, whose armor had been repaired, rushed in from the sides and swung their swords.

“But… let me say this,” Yomi continued.

From Yomi’s body, numerous skeletal arms shot out and grabbed Aria’s sword and Rakul’s cavalry sword, stopping both attacks. As two new mouths appeared on the raised arms, Yomi chanted “‘Crush to death,’” and the two were blasted away as their formations were undone.

“Your actions are meaningless.”

While the two bought time, Shurin released a massive arrow from the large ballista he had created. The arrow, cutting through the air with a sharp roar, began to disintegrate the moment it touched Yomi.

“‘Crush to death, all of you.’”

Invisible forces rained down across the entire castle. The shockwave struck from all directions, and the sounds of everything shattering echoed throughout the area.
