"Don't you dare look down on me!"
Kashimo Hajime let out a roar, pouring all the Cursed Energy in his body into the staff without reservation, and slammed it down against the lightning slash.
Boom!!!
The two lightning forces collided violently in the middle of the street.
The blinding light made even the distant Toji squint his eyes.
But the stalemate didn't even last half a second.
Kashimo Hajime's lightning Cursed Energy was completely crushed the moment it touched the Six Paths Lightning Release.
Crack!
The staff that had accompanied Kashimo Hajime through countless battles snapped in two.
The lightning slash's momentum remained undiminished, slamming into Kashimo Hajime's chest.
"Pfft!"
Kashimo Hajime spat out a large mouthful of blood and was sent flying back nearly a hundred meters, crashing through the walls of two buildings before finally sinking into the rubble of the ruins.
Dust rose everywhere.
Yamada walked toward the ruins with a steady pace, holding the Kusanagi Sword downward.
"Cough... cough cough..."
At the bottom of the ruins, Kashimo Hajime struggled to prop himself up.
The clothes on his chest had turned to ash, and a charred wound deep enough to see the bone ran across his chest. Electric arcs still jumped at the wound.
He had lost.
In just one move, a complete and utter crushing.
"Four hundred years of searching... I didn't expect... to encounter such a monster here..."
Kashimo Hajime spat out the clotted blood in his mouth, but his gaze became more fanatical than ever.
He knew he was doomed to die today, but his obsession as a warrior wouldn't allow him to die like a coward.
"Since ordinary moves are useless against you, let's settle this with this one."
Kashimo Hajime's body began to undergo a violent mutation. His muscles bulged, and armor-like blue patterns appeared on the surface of his skin.
The shell that originally belonged to a human was being forcibly transformed by violent Cursed Energy.
Mythical Beast Amber!
This was the only Cursed Technique Kashimo Hajime had in his life.
Because the physical body would completely collapse into dust after the technique ended, this move was an absolute trump card that could only be used once in a lifetime.
Once activated, his physical body would surpass human limits and transform into a pure energy body capable of emitting various electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic cannons.
"Burning your life in exchange for power?"
Yamada stopped and looked at Kashimo Hajime, whose body was gradually becoming semi-energized and the surrounding air was distorted by high temperatures.
He did not stop the other party from casting the technique.
"As a return for your resolve, I will give you a dignified death."
Yamada returned the Kusanagi Sword to its sheath.
His left eye, that deep purple Six Tomoe Rinnegan, suddenly lit up.
In his right Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, the three tomoe connected end to end.
"Kill!"
Kashimo Hajime, having activated Mythical Beast Amber, reached an astonishing speed.
He turned into a streak of blinding white light. In the instant he left an afterimage in place, his fist had already approached Yamada's throat.
But Yamada did not dodge, he simply raised his left hand calmly.
Bansho Ten'in!
Boom!
An extreme gravitational force acted directly on Kashimo Hajime's body, which had turned into white light.
That supersonic charge was forcibly pulled off course by this gravity, crashing straight toward Yamada's palm.
In the instant Kashimo Hajime couldn't escape the gravity and his pupils shrank in despair, in Yamada's right palm, a tiny, extremely concentrated black flame quietly ignited, and then, accompanied by the shrill chirping of a thousand birds, it transformed into a terrifying lightning-flame sphere of interwoven black and purple.
A fusion of Kagutsuchi and Chidori!
"Take your martial way and go to hell."
Yamada pressed his palm onto Kashimo Hajime's chest as he was pulled in by the gravity.
Bang!!!
Black karmic fire and lightning instantly pierced through the energy body of Mythical Beast Amber.
Kashimo Hajime didn't even manage to let out a final wail. His life-burning technique was instantly incinerated under the strangulation of Amaterasu and Six Paths Lightning Release.
Energy collapsed, and flesh and blood dissolved.
Amidst the deafening thunder and flames, this strongest lightning-attribute Sorcerer from four hundred years ago was turned into a handful of black ashes scattered by the wind.
The wind died down and the waves calmed.
Yamada stood in place, the lightning and black flames in his palm receding into his body.
In his mind, the system's notification sound rang out clearly.
[Ding! Detected host has killed Kashimo Hajime!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Dimension Points: 20,000!]
[Dimension Points: 222,890]
The night wind swept away the last trace of scorch marks on the long street.
Kashimo Hajime, the God of Lightning from four hundred years ago, along with his martial obsession that burned through his life, all turned into a pile of ash on the ground.
Ding!
A system shikigami named "Kogane," shaped like a small winged imp, mechanically emerged from mid-air and announced emotionlessly, "Player Tanaka Yamada, killed Player Kashimo Hajime, gaining five poin—"
The announcement had not yet finished.
Yamada didn't even lift an eyelid, the ripples of the pale purple Rinnegan in his left eye shifted slightly.
Bang!
An invisible repulsive force crushed the noisy Kogane from a distance into a cluster of dissipating Cursed Energy light points.
Toji toyed with the Chain of a Thousand Miles in his hand and strode out from the shadows of the street corner.
Looking at the pile of ash on the ground, which didn't even have a single intact bone left, he grinned and sneered, "The strongest from four hundred years ago? In your hands, Boss, the way they die is quite consistent—all burned to ash."
Yamada sheathed his Kusanagi Sword and cast his gaze toward the northeast, outside the barrier.
In an energy dimension imperceptible to ordinary people, four extremely massive and unyielding Special Grade Cursed Energies were entrenched there. They were like four active volcanoes in the dark night, churning the air in that area into a murky mess.
"The leeks in the Tokyo No. 2 Colony have all been harvested."
Yamada turned around, and the void beside him began to distort violently like ripples on water. The pitch-black Kamui vortex slowly opened, revealing a bottomless interdimensional passage.
"Let's go to Sendai. There's a more sumptuous feast waiting to begin over there."
