"This damn Holy-type!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

High in the sky, Kujo Masakage gritted his teeth as he watched this scene.

His body was trembling violently.

"What are you all standing around for?!"

"Charge, all of you!"

"He just used his ultimate move! Now is when he's at his weakest!"

"Whoever dares to retreat, I'll devour them right now!"

Although Kujo Masakage was terrified in his heart, he knew he had no way out.

He roared again and even reached out to grab at the the void, popping two Akagi who tried to flee from afar to intimidate his subordinates.

Under the threat of death, the remaining eight hundred or so Akagi could only steel themselves and charge once more.

Only this time, their formation was much more scattered as they attempted to launch sneak attacks from different angles.

Coldness glinted in Gabriel's pale gold eyes.

The six wings of light behind his back suddenly spread out to their absolute limit.

Every single feather lit up with a blinding radiance.

Skill — 【Rain of Holy Judgment】!

Swish swish swish swish swish—!!!

Golden beams of light shot out from those six wings of light like a torrential downpour.

Each beam locked onto the Qi of an individual Akagi.

This was not an area-of-effect purification, but a targeted sniping of each individual!

Thwack thwack thwack thwack!

Dull piercing sounds joined together into a continuous stream.

The Akagi who attempted to rely on speed to dodge discovered in despair that these beams actually possessed homing effects.

No matter how they dodged and maneuvered, the deadly golden light followed them like a shadow.

An Akagi with stealth capabilities had just melted into the shadows when a beam pinned him straight into the the void, burning him into ashes the moment his true form was revealed.

A heavy-armored Akagi known for defense raised his massive shield in an attempt to block, only to have both himself and the shield instantly pierced through by the beam.

This was a one-sided slaughter.

A purging without a shred of suspense.

These elite Akagi carefully handpicked by Kujo Masakage fell one after another.

Tragic screams rose and fell, only to abruptly stop the next second.

A golden rain fell from the sky.

But to evil demons, this rain was strong acid, molten lava, and Hell itself.

In less than a single minute.

The army of Akagi that originally blotted out the sky had become sparse, with less than one in ten remaining.

The remaining dozens of lucky survivors were scared out of their wits; no matter how Kujo Masakage threatened them, none dared to take another step forward, instead screaming as they scattered and fled in all directions.

Gabriel paid them no further attention, slowly turning his head to look past the sky-filling golden light and landing his gaze on Kujo Masakage not far away.

Beneath the soft Holy Light, he spoke calmly and succinctly.

"Receive judgment!"

Kujo Masakage's expression became unsightly to the extreme.

Watching his carefully cultivated elite forces turn to ash in an instant, his heart bled.

What humiliated him even more was the opponent's contemptuous attitude.

That was a look reserved for garbage.

"Bastard..."

"Do you think you've already won?!"

Kujo Masakage laughed out of extreme rage. His massive demon body abruptly expanded a size, and the demonic runes on his body lit up with a blinding bloody light.

Since his subordinates were all dead, he could only take matters into his own hands!

"I am a Ghost King! Die for me!"

Kujo Masakage opened his bloody maw, and a pitch-black energy sphere emanating a devastating aura rapidly condensed inside his mouth.

That was a finishing blow gathering all negative emotions within the entire Domain — 【Ten Thousand Demons Wailing Cannon】!

The surrounding space began to collapse due to this terrifying energy density, issuing overwhelmed wails.

"Die!!"

Boom—!!!

A thick beam of black light, mixed with the wails of countless wronged souls, transformed into a black Dragon and crashed toward Gabriel.

The power of this blow was enough to level half of Tokyo City to the ground!

Facing this world-destroying strike.

Gabriel still did not dodge.

He merely slowly raised the holy sword in his hand—a weapon condensed from Holy Light—above his head.

His movements were elegant and composed.

Facing the world-ending demonic cannon, his expression was calm and unhurried, like a breeze brushing past.

"God says, evil shall be brought to an end."

A single sword slash delivered.

Without any fancy Sword Qi.

Only a fine line.

A golden fine line that sliced the world, the darkness, and that thick black light pillar in two down the middle.

Chii—!

The unstoppable 【Ten Thousand Demons Wailing Cannon】, the moment it touched the golden line, was bisected from the middle!

The black torrent of energy roared past both sides of Gabriel's body, blasting two massive holes into the clouds behind.

Meanwhile, Gabriel was completely unscathed.

Not even the corner of his hem was lifted.

The golden fine line lost no momentum, traversing hundreds of meters to appear in front of Kujo Masakage.

"What?!"

Kujo Masakage was scared out of his wits, but it was already too late to dodge.

Splat!

A quiet sound rang out.

Kujo Masakage's massive body stiffened.

A golden bloody line extended from his forehead all the way down to his crotch.

Immediately after.

"Aaaaaah—!!!"

A scream more shrill than any before erupted from the mouth of this insufferably arrogant Ghost King.

A vast amount of black demonic blood spewed out from the wound.

On the cross-section of the wound, golden holy flames burned frantically, preventing his wound from healing.

A single slash.

Severely wounding the Ghost King!

Above the ruins below, the crowd witnessing this scene burst into overwhelming, thunderous cheers.

"We won! Lord Angel won!"

"Kill him! Kill that demon!"

Merely being stared at by those golden eyes made Kujo Masakage feel the ghost Qi inside his body boiling and dissolving; his Ghost King body, which he had worked so hard to condense, actually began to soften.

Can't win.

Can't win!

If I stay any longer, I'll die!

My soul scattered and spirit dissipated for real, without even ashes remaining!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Kujo Masakage roared frantically in his heart. The arrogant look on his ferocious demon face was gone, replaced only by twisted panic.

He didn't want to die.

He had slept in the dark void for a full hundred years, finally waiting for this chance at resurrection.

He hadn't had the time to enjoy the prosperity of this world, hadn't rebuilt the glory of the Kujo Family, and hadn't even eaten a few more fresh souls!

How could it end here?

"Kujo Koji!"

Kujo Masakage turned his head and uttered a shrill roar toward the direction of Takamagahara.

"Fix the mess you caused yourself!"

"I'm not dealing with this anymore!"

"I just revived! I don't want to die! None of this crap has anything to do with me!"

Saying that, he completely ignored the Akagi still fighting bloodily below, much less caring that his flight would cause the entire battle situation to collapse.

Flee!

As long as he fled Tokyo, fled into the deep mountains and ancient forests, and found any random place to hide!

With his abilities, as long as he managed to survive, he could make a comeback one day!

"Bang!"

Kujo Masakage's massive demon body suddenly exploded, turning into a dense cloud of thick black smoke.

The smoke split into dozens of paths, hugging the ground as it fled frantically out of the city in all directions.

It moved so fast that it even pulled shrill sonic booms through the air.

"Trying to run?"

Gandalf raised the staff in his hand, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Forbidden Spell: Thousand Mile Ice Seal!"
