Chapter 953: Rain God and Battle Princess
Amemiya Haruki stood silently in the pouring rain, wearing a black kimono and holding a long sword, his sharp eyes narrowing as he gazed at the terrifying giant shadow at the rain-shrouded mountain peak.
He bit his tongue hard, instantly filling his mouth with the taste of blood. He lowered his head and spat a mist of blood onto [Amekudari] in his hands. Mixed with the surrounding rainwater, it adhered to the blade’s surface, quickly transforming the deep blue blade into an eerie blood red.
He turned the blade downward and thrust it forcefully into the puddle at his feet!
In the water’s reflection, a white-robed, white-haired sword spirit, also wielding [Amekudari], thrust into the water’s surface simultaneously with Amemiya Haruki, the shadows of both blades instantly merging into one.
Boom–!!
An invisible shockwave exploded outward with Amemiya Haruki at its center. His blood-stained black kimono fluttered violently in the rain, his black hair visibly beginning to turn white, and an indescribable divine aura emanated from his cold eyes.
The sword spirit in the puddle’s reflection began to merge with Amemiya Haruki’s shadow.
Amemiya Haruki took a deep breath, instantly pulled [Amekudari] from the puddle, and with a powerful stamp of his feet on the ground, his form flashed into a raindrop’s reflection, charging toward the Corpse God at the mountain peak at an astounding speed!
Kogen Yoshiki witnessed this scene with his mouth agape in shock.
At that moment, Yuzurina beside him bit her lips, quickly shouldered the wooden box, grabbed his wrist, and ran down the mountain.
“Quick, run!” In the downpour, Yuzurina’s eyes were filled with sorrow and determination, “Brother Amemiya has entered the Rain God state. Every second we stay here, he burns away more of his life! Hurry!”
Pulled along by Yuzurina, Kogen Yoshiki could only quickly turn around and sprint away.
Yuzurina reached into her clothes and pulled out a blue-gray game controller, her fingers rapidly pressing a sequence of buttons:
Up up down down left left right right baba.
When the final button was pressed, the blue-gray controller transformed into a beam of light, shooting toward somewhere in the horizon, disappearing into the rain.
E-rank item, [Call Controller].
…
On the other side of the mountain.
Hoshimi Shota stood up coughing in the rain, slightly startled upon seeing the black-clad figure fearlessly charging up the mountain peak.
“Amemiya?” His eyes widened, “Has he gone mad? Going alone to fight that thing with just a Magatsukami blade?! Muki! Quick! Let’s help him!”
Without any hesitation, Hoshimi Shota, carrying the red sword at his waist, quickly moved to rush toward the mountaintop.
He had barely taken two steps when the slender figure wearing a vermillion haori stopped him with her hand.
“Shota, it’s too dangerous for you to go,” Muki’s bewitching eyes gazed seriously at Hoshimi Shota, “Though you’re my sword master, you’re still just an ordinary high school student. Even the slightest ripple from the battle could throw you into an irredeemable situation.”
“But I can’t abandon him alone!”
“He’s doing this to ensure your safe escape. If you turn back, everything he’s doing will lose its meaning.”
Looking at Hoshimi Shota’s struggling expression, Muki’s face softened with gentleness. She held his hand and spoke softly: “Shota, don’t you want to know why I insisted on having you as my sword master?
If you can run down the mountain within ten minutes, I’ll tell you… if you don’t make it, you’ll be punished when we get back.
This is our game for today.”
Muki released Shota’s hand and stepped back twice. She stood quietly in the rain, her vermillion haori swaying in the wind as she smiled slightly.
“Well then, my sword master, Hoshimi Shota… are you ready to begin today’s game?”
Hoshimi Shota stared at her for a moment, then turned to look at the black-clad figure approaching the mountain peak, unprecedented conflict showing in his eyes. Finally, he made his decision and turned to rush down the mountain.
“I’ll keep myself safe,” Hoshimi Shota’s voice carried through the rain, “You must bring Amemiya back alive!”
Watching Hoshimi Shota’s figure frantically running down the mountain, Muki’s smile grew deeper. She turned around to face the terrifying shadow at the mountain peak, her smile gradually fading.
She snorted coldly, her feet violently stamping the ground, shattering a large portion of the mountainside as her form shot like a cannonball toward the peak of Mount Fuji.
…
At the mountain peak.
The black Corpse God that blocked out the sky faced the direction where the group had fled, terrible divine power surging at its fissures, seeming ready to burst forth at any moment.
Just then, a raindrop fell in front of the Corpse God, and in its curved surface’s reflection, a black-clad figure was rapidly growing larger!
Clang–!
A deep blue sword light slashed out from the rain, precisely striking the Corpse God’s lower jaw. The nearby rainwater reversed course around the sword light, transforming into a massive dragon of water that roared skyward!
This strike directly forced the Corpse God’s head up slightly, and the red threads of destruction burst forth from the fissure, grazing past the mountainside and soaring into the sky, splitting the distant city ruins and the sky in two, with thunderous explosions echoing across the horizon.
White-haired Amemiya Haruki gripped his sword with both hands, his body half-suspended in the sky, blade aimed at the Corpse God’s head, slashing down again!
Boom!!
The Corpse God’s right hand struck Amemiya Haruki at a speed impossible for the human eye to track, the giant palm like a building compressing the air, producing a deep explosive sound as it smashed him down into the shattered mountain below!
Amemiya Haruki’s hands gripped the sword handle tightly, barely managing to keep hold of [Amekudari]. His back smashed through the mountain, causing him to violently cough up blood, his face deathly pale.
If he hadn’t merged with the sword spirit to enter the Rain God state, this single strike would likely have taken his life.
Before Amemiya Haruki could crawl out from the mountain debris, the Corpse God raised its sky-blocking foot and stomped down toward his location in the rubble, as if trying to crush an insignificant ant.
A vermillion figure rapidly crossed the sky!
Muki’s fist instantly pierced through the rain curtain, meeting the Corpse God’s foot head-on. Her fist struck the surface of the skin flowing with black liquid, producing a metallic clash, while a visible shockwave burst forth between fist and foot!
The ground beneath Muki’s feet exploded!
That delicate white hand actually withstood the sky-blocking giant foot of the Corpse God. Muki’s vermillion haori danced wildly in the fierce wind, her bewitching fox-like eyes blazing with fighting spirit!
In an instant, Muki deliberately moved her fist down slightly, creating a tiny gap with the Corpse God’s foot, then punched again.
Boom–!!
This punch sent the Corpse God’s body reeling backward. It lifted its foot and stepped back onto the mountainside, barely managing to stabilize its massive form.
