Chapter 952 Corpse God
“Here’s your sword.”
Wu Ji casually tossed the [Zangshan] into Amemiya Haruki’s hands, speaking expressionlessly, as if she hadn’t just shaken a mountain but merely pulled out a weed, completely composed.
“Shota, was your big sister amazing just now?” She walked up to Hoshimi Shota, pinched his cheeks, and a playful smile appeared on her otherwise indifferent face.
Hoshimi Shota’s cheeks turned red as he stepped back twice, “It, it was just okay.”
“Oh really? Then when we get back tonight, big sister will show you something even more amazing…”
“You, you vixen! Stop talking nonsense!”
While Hoshimi Shota was being mercilessly teased, Amemiya Haruki received the sword, lowered his head to examine it carefully for a moment, and nodded slightly.
He put down the wooden box from his back and opened it. The large container held four Magatsurugi swords neatly arranged, each emitting different lustres.
Just as Amemiya Haruki was about to place [Zangshan] among them, the mountain beneath their feet suddenly began to shake violently again!
Everyone present turned their gaze toward Wu Ji.
Wu Ji raised an eyebrow, “Why are you looking at me? It wasn’t me this time.”
“Not you?” Furuhara Yoshiki asked puzzledly, “Then who could it be?”
Rumble rumble…
A deep humming sound emanated from beneath the mountain. The cracks already spread across the mountain body expanded frantically again, large amounts of rocks tumbled from the peak, and dust filled the air.
A strange black pillar of light suddenly erupted from the broken crater, piercing through the thick clouds, shooting straight into the sky!
Cold and ancient aura surged forth from the mountain peak, deep roars echoed within the mountain, and a terrifying presence suddenly descended.
The moment she sensed this aura, Wu Ji’s expression changed slightly. She reached out to protect Hoshimi Shota behind her, her eyes fixed intently on the black pillar of light at the mountain peak, her face full of gravity.
“What is that thing?” Shock appeared on Furuhara Yoshiki’s zombie-like face.
“…It’s a corpse beast, born from the body of the Amatsu god beneath Mount Fuji.” Amemiya Haruki seemed to realize something, his brows tightly furrowed. “‘Land guarded by corpse gods’… so that’s what it meant.”
“What? I don’t understand,” Hoshimi Shota asked confusedly.
“This Amatsu god’s corpse has been suppressed beneath Mount Fuji for countless ages. The residual divine power in its body didn’t dissipate but was sealed within this mountain.
Originally, even if [Zangshan] was pulled out, nothing unusual would have happened, but since that heart-corrupting power appeared, the Amatsu god’s corpse was also contaminated. Beneath this mountain storing divine power, an incredibly powerful corpse beast was born…
No, given the total amount of divine power it inherited, perhaps calling it a corpse god would be more appropriate.”
“So after [Zangshan] was pulled out, that corpse god emerged?” Yuzurina sensed the aura coming from that black pillar of light piercing the sky, her pale little face full of worry. “What should we do?”
“…Run!”
Furuhara Yoshiki and Hoshimi Shota shouted in unison. The four people didn’t hesitate at all, turning to rush straight down the gradually crumbling mountain.
The black pillar of light shooting into the clouds from the peak grew increasingly thick, and the mountain’s tremors became intense. Suddenly, a sky-covering giant hand reached out from the crater, heavily slapping down around the circular mountain, directly creating another fierce ravine in the mountain body.
Following that, a black head without facial features slowly rose from the crater, then the neck, torso, limbs…
When its body completely crawled out from beneath Mount Fuji, that giant shadow had totally blocked the dim sun in the sky, casting a shadow that could cover half a city. The sunlight was swallowed by its pitch-black body outline, emitting a suffocating pressure.
Although there was no aura of Law power, the divine power pressure it emanated was genuinely at the Divine realm.
“This thing is way too big!” Furuhara Yoshiki looked back at the huge shadow standing on the mountain peak and couldn’t help but speak, “One step from it would destroy half the city.”
“It was born from an Amatsu god’s corpse with perfectly preserved divine power, it’s not even in the same league as the corpse beasts we saw before.”
The corpse god standing on the mountain peak slowly turned its head, its featureless black face looking down at these ants frantically fleeing Mount Fuji.
The next moment, a vertical gap suddenly split open on its face, behind the jagged fangs was a blood-red void.
Facing the direction of the four people’s escape, thick divine power rapidly gathered before the gap, flickering with red light.
Boom–!!!
A fine red line shot out from the gap, instantly sweeping along the broken mountain body toward those four figures, thunderous explosion flames soaring into the sky along its path!
“Dodge!!!”
Seeing this, Amemiya Haruki’s pupils suddenly contracted. He violently kicked Furuhara Yoshiki’s chest, sending him flying, while his other hand held Yuzurina in his arms as he jumped toward the right side of the mountain.
Wu Ji, who was protecting Hoshimi Shota, immediately held him in her embrace and flashed away to avoid that red line.
Dazzling flames occupied everyone’s vision, and the terrifying air blast sent them flying. Amid endless flying rock fragments, their figures heavily fell to the ground.
“Brother Amemiya!”
Yuzurina got up from the ground and cried out when she saw the bloody gash that rock fragments had carved into Amemiya Haruki’s back.
“Just a small wound, I’m fine.” Amemiya Haruki put his black kimono back on properly, took a deep breath, and got up from the cracked and scorched ground, his eyes fixed firmly on the corpse god at the peak.
A second red light had already started brewing at its gap.
Sensing that world-destroying terrifying aura, Amemiya Haruki’s face became extremely grim. He seemed to make some determination, took off the wooden box from his back, and handed it to Yuzurina.
“Brother Amemiya?” Yuzurina was stunned.
“That thing’s attack range is too far. If this continues, we’ll all die here.” Amemiya Haruki spoke calmly. “Notify Takishiro to come. You and Furuhara take these Magatsurugi swords and leave first, I’ll hold it back for a while.”
“Amemiya, that’s…”
Furuhara Yoshiki, who had just staggered to his feet, heard these words and was slightly stunned, seeming to want to say something, but Amemiya Haruki interrupted him.
“Go.”
Clang–!!
With a clear sword ring, the deep blue sword was drawn from its scabbard.
[Amekuzure] was unsheathed.
Crack!
A thunderbolt crossed the sky, a raindrop broke through the dim dome, fell onto the deep blue blade, shattered into tiny droplets, and splashed open.
Then came the second drop, the third…
In an instant, torrential rain crashed down from the heavens like a silver celestial river, submerging the devastated Mount Fuji.
