Chapter 120: Grave Armor

A greater power flowed from the Gate of Yomi. Before I could prevent it, a storm of cold air erupted from the gate, blowing me away.

I tried to close the distance to stop whatever was coming, but the cold storm consumed me. When I slashed through the storm and looked back, I saw that the cold air and the corpses were clinging to Yomi’s body. The corpses overlapped and shifted, gradually transforming into a single, ominous armor.

“I tried imitating what you did, and it’s not bad. Let’s call it ‘Grave Armor,’ perhaps?”

Yomi, now clad in armor, took a sword and closed the distance in an instant, striking at me. I quickly crossed my swords to block, but the weight of the blade pressing down was unlike anything I had faced before.

(Strong… but in terms of power, I still have the advantage!)

I focused my strength and launched the sword upward. As I rose with my sword, I unleashed a white strike toward Yomi, but he twisted like a bird and avoided it, coming at me again.

Yomi attacked without a break, and I alternated blocking with my twin swords. After about ten exchanges, I slammed my white sword against the belly of Yomi’s sword, shattering it halfway through.

I immediately swung my black sword down at him. But the arm that was swinging toward his neck was grabbed and stopped by multiple arms that shot out of Yomi’s armor.

“Dammit!”

“‘Be crushed to death.’”

I was thrown off balance and launched away, but I quickly recovered and saw multiple mouths appear on Yomi’s armor, moving.

“‘Be crushed to death,’ ‘Burn to death,’ ‘Drown to death,’ ‘Crush to death,’ ‘Poison to death,’ ‘Electrocute to death,’ ‘Suffocate to death,’ ‘Be cut to death,’ ‘Freeze to death,’ ‘Be eaten to death,’ ‘Die from illness.’”

The word spells were unleashed all at once, attacking me. Each cause of death falling from the air was powerful enough to shake the armor, which had multiple layers of word spells.

(It’s bad to keep taking these head-on.)

I released destruction light and jet-black weapons from my wings to counter the incoming word spells. Using the brief moment of emptiness created, I flew up and swung my twin swords at Yomi.

Yomi caught the black and white strikes with the armor on his arms. When the storm of word spells stopped, he immediately closed in and struck down with his electrified tail. The shock couldn’t be absorbed, and cracks appeared in his armor.

“Impressive. How about this next?”

Cold air leaked from the crack in the armor. I sensed the tail I was touching was about to collapse, so I quickly pulled away. The cold air that poured from Yomi’s body froze the surrounding area, and the atmosphere began to shine as it reflected the light.

“Concentrated cold air from Yomi’s realm. If you touch it, it will freeze even your soul.”

When Yomi swung his arm, the cold air froze the atmosphere as it approached. The freezing cold air, moving like falling stars, grazed me, and frost appeared on the surface of my armor.

(If I take it head-on… I’ll be frozen too…)

I released a fiery “Black Blade Stormbringer” to scatter the cold and capture Yomi. Using the winds of light and darkness from my wings, I passed through the storm of darkness and, with my storm-wrapped leg, kicked through Yomi’s torso.

The armor was shattered, and Yomi was sent crashing into the Gate of Yomi. But the surrounding corpses were absorbed, and the armor began to regenerate as Yomi stood up.

“Such incredible power. How many gods are capable of wielding such strength… But—”

From beneath Yomi’s helmet, his eyes locked onto me, and he continued speaking.

“How long will you be able to keep using that power?”
