Chapter 509 You're the one who's tyrannical
With a tentative mindset, Araki Ichito made the first move, unleashing a sword strike that sliced through the murky water and shattered a patch of mud.
The splashed black mud struggled like a living thing; although it was scattered, it was not eliminated.
"Tsk, physical attacks are ineffective? Even the crimson flames attached to the sword's edge can't cause any damage? This is truly..."
Previously, when he was in the main mining area, Arataki Ichito had wanted to test whether the Black Mud was really ineffective against attacks like in the game. However, the number and size of the opponents were enormous, and a slight mistake could trigger a riot, so he gave up the idea.
Here, Araki Ichito chose to strike first and experimented.
Judging from the results, it wasn't as ideal as hoped...
"Brother, don't use elemental power. This thing is immune to many kinds of abilities. Let me try it first."
Araki Ichito turned around and shouted.
Xiao nodded and immediately appeared on a mountain wall, the voice coming from above.
"Be careful in everything you do. If there is any danger, I will take you away."
Arataki Ichito gave an OK sign, dodging the pouncing Polluted Fungus Beast and cleaving it in two with a single strike.
But a strange scene happened...
The mushroom beast's corpse, now split in two, did not turn to ashes or bleed. Instead, a chilling black sludge gushed from the wound, clinging to the two halves of the body like spider silk and pulling them back together. It roared and pounced again.
"Huh?"
Arataki Ichito raised an eyebrow, his Armament Haki covering his palm as he grabbed the attacking mushroom beast by the throat and began to examine it closely.
"puff!"
Araki Kazuto tilted his head to dodge the spewing black mud, while magma surged from his palm, completely enveloping the mushroom beast in his hand.
Arataki Ichito doesn't have a penchant for torturing living beings, but this can no longer be considered a life; at best, it's just a manipulated corpse.
"This time, you won't even leave a trace. Let's see how you close it now!"
The expanding magma suddenly contracted, accompanied by a plume of black smoke rising, leaving only scorched marks on the ground; the mushroom beast had vanished without a trace.
"The magma is effective, but the flames on the sword's edge can't burn it... Is the temperature not high enough?"
Arataki Kazuto pondered for a moment, preparing to experiment again, but Zammaran couldn't sit still any longer.
【Roar!!!!】
A cacophony of monstrous, demonic whispers echoed all around, as swarms of black spores swept in, enveloping Arataki Ichito in layers.
Aragaki Ichito's forehead veins bulged, and a sinister smile, barely concealing his anger, crept onto his lips. "That voice really brings back some unpleasant memories..."
He raised his sword and swung it down heavily.
"So—die!!"
The crimson-gold sword light surged like a giant wave, seemingly covering the dark and deep space with a layer of golden sand. The black spores were annihilated by the sword light and exploded one after another.
Boom boom boom! !
What exploded was not thick smoke and fireworks, but clusters of blackish-purple dust, which were burned by the flames before they even landed, and the smell of burnt powder filled the nostrils.
Swish!
Suddenly, Arataki Ichito's figure appeared above Zammaran's head, and the Red Horn Stone Pestle, burning with raging flames, crashed down like a comet.
He, Arataki Ichito, was no merciful angel. His desire to save Zammaran was merely an action taken from his own perspective to gain personal benefit.
But if things change, he will make a decisive decision without any hesitation!
boom!
A burst of air erupted, and the aftershocks reverberated as two black mud tentacles, mixed with mycelium, intertwined and blocked the golden-red battle blade.
Arataki Ichito pressed down with even greater force, unleashing a burst of golden light!
[Heavy Unique Trait Activated]
[The unique characteristic of oscillation is activated]
puff!
The two black mud tentacles shattered silently, scattering everywhere. Some even tried to sneak attack Araki Ichito, but were all destroyed by the latter's elemental transformation.
Arataki Ichito easily reached Zammaran, giving it no time to react. With a flash of his blade, several large chunks of fungal flesh soaked in black mud fell to the ground, only to be swallowed and destroyed by the sudden attack of lava.
【squeak--!!!】
"Shut up! I'm saving you. If you provoke me again, I'll burn you to the bone with a magma punch!"
Araki Ichito kicked Zammaran, casually smashed the surrounding mud, and pulled something out of his pocket with his other hand.
"If this doesn't work, then I'll have to send you to the ley lines, you giant mushroom."
As Arataki Ichito said this, he opened his palm, revealing a talisman engraved with mysterious characters suspended in his hand. Divine power transformed into golden light, spreading out in ripples like water.
Araki Ichito gently brought the talisman close to Zammaran, bringing its enormous body into the range of divine power.
hum-
The talisman in his palm trembled slightly, and the originally calm golden light suddenly shone brightly, like a sharp sword piercing through chaos, dispelling all darkness.
Under the astonished gaze of Arataki Ichito, the golden halo only shone on Zammaran, and the mud on its body melted away rapidly like snow exposed to the sun, with wisps of black smoke rising up.
Wherever the light passed, the surrounding murky water became clear again, and the black mud instantly dissipated, turning into black smoke.
And all of this, from the moment it started to the moment it ended, happened in the blink of an eye.
"No... really? Does the Emperor also work as a purifier?"
It was unclear whether Araki Ichito was asking Xiao a question or muttering to himself.
He expected the talisman to be effective, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful.
If I remember correctly, Liu Yun said before that this was a talisman used for sealing.
Araki Ichito stared blankly at the talisman in his palm, when suddenly a sentence echoed endlessly in his mind.
The Emperor's divine power, boy.
"The Emperor's power is all-encompassing; the mere ability to purify and exorcise demons is naturally within his grasp."
Xiao landed lightly and flashed to Araki Ichito's side.
"Yes, the Emperor is indeed strong, but I didn't expect him to be so versatile."
Araki Ichito stroked his chin, indicating his agreement.
But then he turned his gaze back, “Look, it’s alive again.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light appeared above Zammalan's head, and his ethereal voice reached her ears.
[Ah, Zamvalan heard you! The raging winds and the violent crimson blood array descended upon this place, driving away the root of Zamvalan's suffering and illness. I am deeply grateful!]
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!! Tyrannical, tyrannical!! I'm tyrannical, okay?! You bunch of bastards! Aren't you tired of saying the same thing over and over again?!"
"One after another, it's all about brutality! At least give me something new! Damn it! You didn't even bother to change the words!"
"Tyranny? To hell with your tyranny! You're the tyranny one! Your whole family is tyranny!"
Arataki Ichito, who had won three consecutive matches, could no longer hold back and angrily pointed at Zammaran and began to rant!
Xiao remained calm, but quietly took a step back.
"Don't worry, buddy, I wasn't talking about you."
Araki Ichito glanced at the other party and waved his hand to indicate that he was harmless.
You seem to be in a bad mood. Is something bothering you?
"You are the trivial things that bother me, understand?"
Araki Kazuto looked furious.
"Ahem, let's get down to business and stop wasting time on this nonsense."
Xiao covered his forehead, his tone slightly speechless.
Araki Kazuto slapped his head hard. "That's right, how could I forget the important matter again!"
