◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Barbatos strongly stomped the ground with his right foot.
As soon as Barbatos finished speaking, the world inverted from beneath his feet.
Kuuu───ung
Yuma looked around.
No separate world was implemented.
Like Incrinew’s [Conclusion] that had spread over the temple ground, it seemed a realm had been declared on this land of the Astes Empire.
Divine Realm.
The unique realm possessed by gods.
[Path of Asura] boasted a dominance reaching a radius of 500m.
“Unless I, Barbatos, die, this realm will not collapse. Because I, who descended from the divine realm that exists higher than the middle world, I, a god, have established rules on this land.”
“Is that so.”
Yuma responded indifferently.
And he thought.
It seemed different from the divine realm [Conclusion] that the god Incrinew had unfurled.
Unlike [Conclusion], which was a technique intended to annihilate enemies within its domain, this [Path of Asura] appeared to serve as a field for ability enhancement.
This was because after the Path of Asura was deployed, the aura emitted by Barbatos became even more powerful.
It had already far exceeded the category of protective strong energy emitted by human Sword Masters.
But now, as if the land mass itself was protecting Barbatos, massive flames flickered.
“This is your execution ground, human.”
Yuma half-ignored Barbatos’ words and observed the scenery of the Path of Asura.
He saw hundreds of graves before him.
And around the graves, thousands of weapons were stuck into the ground.
The effect of [Path of Asura] was straightforward.
If Barbatos had sufficient divine power remaining, he could draw out several times his original strength.
Speed and energy circulation became faster.
And he would not feel any pain.
He felt no pain while other senses were maximized.
For Barbatos, it was an environment where he could fight without any restrictions.
And the remaining powerful effect of [Path of Asura] had the power to make beings within range encounter the immense aura of death within the Path of Asura, stopping their thoughts and driving them mad, but that was irrelevant to Yuma who possessed [Eccentric Wall], an immunity skill against all mental penetration techniques.
Tududududuk- tuduk
Barbatos slowly moved both shoulders to loosen his body.
‘Even he can’t endlessly unleash attacks at the same level of incomprehensible power as just now.’
Not knowing the effect of [Absolute Counter], Barbatos could only think that way.
The unidentified darkness that had spread from behind Yuma just now had power strong enough to completely shake the divine power of himself, a first-rank god.
There’s no way such power could be used repeatedly in succession.
That’s what Barbatos thought.
In fact, because his own attack was too strong, Barbatos couldn’t know that an attack ten times stronger would naturally exceed the category of understanding.
‘I will hunt you, Yuma.’
Sssssuk─
Barbatos raised over fifty [Formless Swords] in the sky.
He must not be infected with the fear of death by a mere human.
‘Before he unleashes that level of power again.’
Each of the purple formless swords that rose contained absolute power.
‘I’ll kill him first.’
Thanks to the battle that just occurred, the location had moved closer to huge mountains rather than the outdoor training ground.
Barbatos swung his right hand forward.
Toward Yuma standing in front of him.
Each formless sword, massive enough to blow away an entire palace, poured down like lightning.
Kwarrrrrrrrrrung! Kwarrrrrrung──!
Counting the number, there were as many as fifty.
Yuma stared at the thunderbolts descending like meteors.
It was clear that the formless swords in front would strike within the realm of this Path of Asura, but the formless swords in the back appeared to risk hitting the imperial palace by going outside the Path of Asura.
‘I’ll deflect them.’
Deflecting the formless swords in the back was the top priority.
Yuma’s body first blinked into the air.
Kugugugugugu!!!!
The formless swords ruthlessly plunged into the spot where Yuma had evaded.
And he glided through the air with the power of [Magic Armor], a flight magic-embedded armor taken from the high elf Luinerif.
He used blink consecutively.
Yuma’s body teleported continuously, scattering light.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!!
Formless swords poured down diagonally.
Sseogeogeogeogeogeong──
Rows of giant trees were all diagonally cut in half and tilted.
Yuma’s body, having evaded all the formless swords falling forward with air blinks, was pushed back.
He had sufficiently operated the Magic Armor.
Because he thought it would be useful.
Four lightning-like formless swords poured down in front of Yuma who had been flying in the sky for a long time.
Yuma raised the side of his foot.
Spare lives weren’t only for Barbatos.
He still had [Magic Armor], a magic armor, and [Divine Protection Armor], a protective gear made by dwarves who received divine power from gods.
And he still carried [Miracle Aegis] that could definitely block five fatal attacks to his life.
That’s why he could focus on the current situation.
-There is no attack that cannot be parried. Every attack has a parrying point.
Firmly believing those self-defined words.
Kagaaaaang!
Jjeoeoeong!
Yuma swung the side of his foot in the sky.
The four twisted formless swords traced an arc and reversed direction.
Kwarrrrrrrrrrrrung!!!
The mighty thunderous sound tearing the atmosphere struck the ears of the palace people who were watching this battle with stunned faces.
Kwaaaang!
Barbatos rose into the air, watching Yuma walking through the sky.
Endless purple energy currents were surging all over Barbatos’s body as he flew into the air.
Barbatos swung his right arm, filled with concentrated energy and divine power, toward the reversed and rushing formless swords.
But there was no way they could be blocked.
Because they were 10 times the formless swords Barbatos had unleashed in [Path of Asura].
The formless swords that ruthlessly annihilated his right arm pierced straight through Barbatos’s upper body.
Pububuk─!
Puhwaak─!!
The four reversed formless swords simultaneously plunged into Barbatos’s body.
Barbatos’s red eyes temporarily darkened black.
Tick────tock
The purple clock moved its minute hand.
Tududududuk!
The formless swords that had pierced Barbatos’s body scattered, and his body was perfectly restored in the sky.
The limited number of times the Time Reversal power could be used.
2/3 Two-thirds.
“KWAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!!!”
Jjeoeoeoeong!
Barbatos, uncharacteristic of a god, stomped the air with a beast-like roar.
The wavelength of the tearing atmosphere spread vulgarly, and the sonic boom struck the ears of the watching personnel once again.
Barbatos’s divine figure appeared in front of Yuma.
“Die─!”
Barbatos’s widely spread palm extended toward Yuma.
It was a golden palm.
Yuma’s divine figure blinked once more.
Yuma’s body appeared on the side of the [Tathagata Divine Palm].
And he immediately struck up the end of the Tathagata Divine Palm at an angle.
Jjeoeoeoeoeoong!
Golden wavelengths spread widely in a circle.
Whoosh.
Barbatos wrinkled his brow harshly as he faced the [Tathagata Divine Palm’s] 10 times absolute counter.
‘Is this, possible?’
His understanding built as a divine being, his common sense, his concepts were all twisted.
Kwa───────────ang
A massive silver palm struck Barbatos’s entire body.
Tududududuk──
Uddddddduk──
All bones were crushed.
Kwajik!
His right eye burst.
Jjeoeoek!
His right leg, unable to withstand the pressure, was torn off and fell to the ground.
Chwaaak──
Barbatos’s body, folded like a shrimp, flew endlessly backward.
Toward the huge mountains behind. Kung!
The god’s sacred body scraped the ground and was pushed endlessly.
The inherent defensive power and protective divine power of his body turned the ground’s terrain into a wasteland.
Barbatos, smashed into the ground, continued to be pushed back.
His back hit trees.
Those trees were all broken.
All rock walls were shattered.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!!
Dirt dust surged endlessly, and rock fragments scattered endlessly.
One mountain area surrounding the back of the empire was swept away by Barbatos’s body that had been hit by the [Tathagata Divine Palm].
Barbatos’s body, literally turned into a rag, was enveloped in light.
Tick────tock
The purple clock moved its minute hand.
Tududududuk!
The limited number of times the Time Reversal power could be used.
3/3
The last use of the power was consumed.
Barbatos’s limbs were perfectly restored.
However, Barbatos could not easily lift his body sprawled on the ground.
Step
Footsteps were heard.
“What are you, human Yuma.”
They were Yuma’s footsteps.
Barbatos, raising his upper body, blankly stared at the approaching Yuma.
“What is that palm you struck without even making a movement….”
“I told you it’s that martial arts you cherish.”
Yuma took one more step forward.
He slowly walked on the ground that had become devastated as if swept by a disaster.
Step
“Prove your martial arts, God of Battle.”
Barbatos no longer saw Yuma as human.
