Chapter 2333: Oda Nobunaga’s Endless Castle [51]
-----
Despite Susanoo’s fury, the god of storms and swords listened to Yuki’s words attentively, finally realizing how things came to be. A small mistake from Hajun, a piece of her soul he didn’t see fly away because it was smaller than an ant, that tiny piece nobody cared for, that even Hajun never thought would matter...
That damned microbe-sized piece of her soul returned, regained about seventy percent of her soul, and now stood before him, reincarnated in a new body. It was utterly ridiculous no matter how much Susanoo thought about it.
Susanoo felt not just disbelief but anger, frustration, madness, and utter contempt at this event. There was even a tinge of fear, perhaps larger than he wished to admit. The reason was simple. He didn’t want to believe Fate itself worked against him. After all, he believed Fate blessed him, that it helped him defeat Amaterasu.
But this was like a big "fuck you" in his face from Fate itself!
He couldn’t accept it.
He raged.
He screamed at the heavens.
All his efforts to slay his sister.
The superiority he loved so much was vanishing.
And he felt inferior again, lesser than this furry-eared woman.
In his narcissistic mind, nothing could drive him madder than this!
"GRRRR! AMATERASUUUUUU! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU! THIS TIME, I WON’T SPARE YOUR SOUL!!!"
RUMBLE!
Crack, crack...!
CRASH!
Yuki started to regret provoking Susanoo so much, as he unleashed more of his power, shattering the frost prison and emerging amid ice shards with a massive explosion. His aura surged, sharper than ever, threatening Yuki with all his might.
However, his furious face changed from one moment to another, and he showed a blissful smile, creeping out Yuki tremendously!
"Sister... I am so rejoiced, actually! This is indeed a blessing from heaven! To finally reunite with you, one last time! So I can finally make sure I kill you! Back then Hajun had all the fun, this time, I’m going to cut you down piece by piece!!!"
Susanoo smiled wickedly, reaching Yuki in a split second. She couldn’t react in time as his sword rushed down, unleashing a destructive barrage of slicing attacks.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"Aaaaggh!"
Yuki screamed, channeling all her Aura and covering her body with her tortoise shell, hardening it as much as she could. She summoned her Tiamat scale shield, but the barrage shattered it into pieces.
CRAAASH!
As it shattered, a massive explosion of rainbow light erupted, sending Susanoo flying.
BOOOM!
His body crashed through several rooms, generating a massive explosion of rainbow flames...
"Fuck, he broke the Tiamat shield?! That must be his deadliest attack yet! He could cut a whole continent easily with that...! Fucking hell!"
Yuki gasped for air, adrenaline making it hard to realize something...
"A-Ah... fuck..."
Her body was battered with slicing wounds. Her shells had barely helped her survive, but the damage was severe. She bled everywhere, and the cursed miasma hindered her recovery, even though she had drunk Drake’s blood earlier.
"Mama! Buaaahhh!"
Yudra cried as she saw her mother fall to the floor, covered in blood and surrounded by a pool of it. Her aura quickly encompassed her mother, healing her as much as she could.
The cursed miasma began to fade, and her wounds slowly recovered, but the healing was slow. Yudra wasn’t as skilled as Benladra at healing, as the baby had barely trained that power.
"Y-Yudra... run...! Run, Yudra! Please...! Leave me...! Run!"
"Mama! Waaahh! Mama!"
Yudra kept crying while licking her mother, thinking it might help her recover faster. Yuki cried as she caressed her daughter’s fluffy face.
"I love you... Yudra... you have to live... please, before he comes back and-"
"I’m back~"
"Ah!"
"Waaahh!"
Both Yuki and Yudra screamed as Susanoo returned, standing only centimeters away.
He smiled viciously, like a complete madman. His golden eyes turned red, spiraling, and he grew a small black and red horn on his forehead.
Yuki quickly realized what that power was...
"H-Hajun’s... Karmic Energy...? Y-You...! What...?"
"You like it? This is his little gift! It has given me much more power now... Soooo... what do I do first? Hm? You’re on the floor already, huh? I guess you’ll die of bleeding... if this brat doesn’t get in the way!"
BAAAAM!
"Gryyaaaarrr!"
Susanoo mercilessly kicked Yudra away, nearly breaking her jaw as the little dragon collapsed in the room. Yuki screamed in horror.
"NOOOOO! ANYTHING BUT HER, SUSANOO!!! SHE’S JUST A CHILD!"
"A child that has attacked me several times! You think she deserves mercy?! You think the great Heavenly King has mercy for children?! On the contrary! He knows when a damn brat needs a lesson!"
"R-Raaaarrr!"
Yudra roared back, standing and glaring at Susanoo with anger, opening her jaws and firing an immense breath of sunlight.
TRUUUM!
However, Susanoo walked through it easily, his aura slicing everything around him, his power having increased even more.
"Yeah, that little attack from earlier? It won’t work on me anymore, fucking brat."
"STOP!"
Yuki tried to drag herself toward him, but she couldn’t. Her body was too wounded, and the Cursed Miasma consumed her wounds, weakening her...
Susanoo laughed. His sword swung toward Yudra, as a sharp slash struck her left shoulder.
SLASH!
"Gyaaaaaggghh!"
The little girl cried in agony as her left wing fell off, blood splattering everywhere.
Yuki stared at the scene, her eyes widening, her voice gone.
Her daughter was crying in agony, now on the floor.
Where was everyone?
Where was Drake?
Was she going to watch her daughter being chopped alive in front of her?
No.
No!
She would rather destroy her entire being to help her survive another minute.
"N-No...! NOOOOO!!! DON’T TOUCH MY DAUGHTER!"
Yuki screamed furiously. The three Abyssal Tear Fragments within her soul glowed brightly.
Their darkness consumed her completely, as Susanoo stared in surprise.
"What the...?"
...
"GRAAAAHHHHH!!!"
The Grieving Goddess’s scream echoed through the Endless Castle. Héluna, noticed that the monstrous being teleporting through black portals stopped chasing her. It screamed in pain, looking elsewhere.
Her scream reverberated through the castle, destabilizing space completely. Hydra and Celene, fighting the one holding everything together, noticed new cracks in his defenses as he desperately tried to maintain control.
