Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Black Blade
(Thank you for the monthly pass support of Secluded World!)
Faced with the speed of teleportation, the god of death Yug seemed to have expected it, and the scythe arced from his shoulder to cut straight at Gerald behind him. Gerald did not dodge or dodge, clasping the blade of the sickle with his palms together, and the two met, and the air flow burst out from the contact surface.
The upward air flow rushed into the sky, piercing the black and oppressive clouds overhead into a whirlpool-like eye, and the downward air flow was even more terrifying, and the Gobi crust was instantly pierced by the air current, like a paper paste.
Gerald, who was bare-handed, couldn't resist the god of death's artifact after all, and was knocked away by the force of death. As he flew into the distance like a cannonball, the penetrated crust began to roar wildly, and the molten lava underneath surged uneasily, and the molten lava gushed out like a stream of air that had found the vent of a balloon, and the crust shook violently, as if the whole world was shaking.
However, the molten lava that rushed out of the sky did not follow the laws of physics, but became thinner and thinner after breaking out of the earth's crust, and finally condensed into a thin line as white as a hair, which was manipulated by some force to turn around and pierce the Grim Reaper in mid-air. The Grim Reaper, who had been hiding under his cloak, couldn't make any expression, he seemed to snort coldly, and the scythe rolled up towards the thin line.
Something strange happened, and it stands to reason that even if the lava line is cut, the thin line at the front of the breaking point can still cause considerable damage. However, the thin line of lava cut by the god of death Yug was instantly extinguished like a living creature that had been cut off from life, and not only that, but even the molten lava in the crater, which was the source of power, seemed to have lost its vitality, and the earth's crust, which had been violently shaking, was strangely calm.
Charlotte realized the mystery of the slash, and Claire next to her explained appropriately, "This is the death power of the god of death of the god of death, anything that he slashes...... Whether it's living or dead, it all comes down to real death. β
Charlotte nodded, "Can you even slash with magic power?" β
"That's true for mages. Claire, who had been in a state of readiness, asked, "Do you want to help His Majesty?"
"I suppose he'll turn his head and cut us down, right?" said Villette, and Claire, who made the proposal, and Charlotte, who was thinking, nodded approvingly.
Wellett was right, Gerald, who had suffered a small loss, would not let anyone interfere in his fight. Should I say it's better to enjoy it or to be angry? Gerald, who was smashed into the Gobi, laughed wildly, and with his wild laughter, something terrible seemed to be brewing in the center of the altar.
The god of death, Yog, also sensed the change, and he immediately abandoned Gerald, who was not far away, and slashed at the center of the altar with a scythe. Gerald naturally wouldn't let him get his wish, followed by Gerald whipped up the Black Wind of Destruction and attacked his back, and the Grim Reaper Yogko hesitated slightly, and finally chose to turn around and interrupt Gerald's attack.
"It's the Black Blade!" asserted Charlotte, who had the Vientiane Eye, his eyes lit up.
Charlotte's judgment was right, it was indeed the Black Blade, Gerald's root artifact, that was conceived in the altar.
Yog's defense gave the Black Blade time to conceive, and Gerald laughed, this time not directly resisting the scythe's attack, but dodging Yug's attack on one side, kicking the two of them as they staggered. The latter is also extremely capable of fighting, and with a one-handed block, Yug is kicked several meters away, while Gerald uses the reaction force to reach the Black Blade.
Lifting the black blade in his hand, Gerald slashed at the god of death Yug, but the ordinary attack carried an irresistible will, and Charlotte, who was watching the battle, narrowed his pupils, realizing that even with the help of the Vientiane Vision, he would not be able to take over the seemingly ordinary attack with pure martial arts.
But Yug was able to stop it.
Yug, who raised his scythe, just blocked the black destruction blade of the Black Blade, and the metal wail of Qiang made the world tremble at it, which showed the power of this blow. But Yug didn't seem to be affected by the terrible slash, and he took a step and appeared like a ghost above Gerald, raising his scythe and slashing downward.
The natal artifact and the root artifact came into contact hard, and the huge metal humming sound was enough to make people deaf in both ears, and the terrifying shock wave swept everything with the two of them as the center, and the Gobi surging and everything withered everywhere they passed!
One of these two is the master of the root of destruction, and the other is the agent of the root of death, although neither of them is fighting with their real bodies, but their respective strength is far beyond the transcendent realm. The world of Stee could not resist the aftermath of the two's all-out battle, and a huge hole appeared in the sky, and natural disasters such as downpour, lightning and thunder, and the collapse of mountains and rivers appeared one by one. The power of destruction and death wreaked havoc on all things, and the Legends could not even approach the battlefield of the two.
Members of the Church of the Dead who summoned Yog with the help of artifacts were affected by the aftermath and either turned to black ashes and dissipated, or were devoured and turned into cold corpses. Not long after the two started the war, Charlotte and the others had already discovered that those church members were approaching this battlefield, but the few people who knew their fate didn't even pay attention to it, and put all their minds on this rare battle in the main material world.
The Black Blade and the Death Scythe have been exchanged countless times, and the consequences are that this radius of hundreds of miles has turned into a forbidden area of life, the Gobi has broken and turned into a huge scar on the earth, the atmosphere has been torn apart, and the terrible wind of the astral plane has swept the world, and destruction and death have become entangled, causing all things to wither!
In the midst of the sweeping black wind and surging black mist, the god of death and the king of demons fought with all their might. The former is a doppelganger of the oldest god Yug, and the latter is the physical magic of the Black Lord, which is not even a projection, but the two are evenly matched.
Yug was silent, occasionally hearing a snort of dark anger from the sound of metal clashing, while Gerald laughed wildly, encapsulating the madness and domineering of the demon lord. Most of the two fight with physical skills, but the occasional magic or spell is a great impression on Charlotte and Claire, whose fighting style is no longer limited to specific moves or models, and is full of imagination and terrifying tension.
After another hand-to-hand encounter, the figures of the two separated in mid-air and landed on the Gobi Ground, where the terrain had completely changed. No, at this time, it is no longer possible to call this place the Gobi, even if it is a desert to describe the land affected by the divine power of the two, it is also gentle.
But the gods and demons didn't care about the forbidden areas of life affected by their respective divine powers, and the two people standing opposite each other were scarred. The Grim Reaper's tattered cloak revealed a strange body that was half normal, half corrupt inside, and Gerald was no longer human, revealing his black armor-like demonic form, his scarred, molten blood curling with the smell of sulfur.
But even so, the terrible demon's vicious face still had a hearty laugh.
"It's a pleasure!" his tone was equally cheerful, "if each of you can die with your real body, it will be even more painful to risk your life! But I don't think such a coward like you will ever have it, ah! I really want to pull you off the damn throne of death!"
Gerald's response was Yug's snort, and for him, he must have felt that Gerald was an incomprehensible being.
"Hahahaha-" Gerald responded with a terrifying laugh at Yug, and in the next moment, he rushed towards Yug like a black tornado with an indomitable momentum!
There was no metal in the attack and defense of this round, and after the hurricane, the sound of the two was revealed in the sandstorm. Gerald's Black Blade slashed Yug's head, while Yog's Death Scythe sliced Gerald's right shoulder and stuck in his chest.
The severed arm fell to the barren ground with the black blade, and the two top beings of the multiverse actually ended the battle in such a tragic way.
Gerald let out a sigh as he looked at the head of a handsome young man and a rotten old man that had fallen to the ground.
"I'd love to fight you onceβ"
"Hmph, incomprehensible fanatic!" Yug responded.
The bodies of the two were blown by the wind, and at the same time, they turned into magical energy and divine power and dissipated in the air. The Scythe of Death dissipated with Yog's disappearance, but the Black Blade, the artifact that represented the root of destruction, was left in the desert as a dagger.
"Do you hear this majesty's wish?"
Charlotte winked at Claire, then walked over to the Black Blade and reached for the Root Artifact.
