My mother's love song

Humph, after all, it is a clot of magic power, an imaginary fantasy beast.

"a shame."

Rhode flicked the blood off the blade and said, "Anna doesn't have such a weak child."

“Ohhhh… you’re really capable.”

The root girl in my mind said slowly, "But if we keep killing like this, there will be no end."

The meaning of "style" is very clear. Instead of killing the small fry here, the better option is to attack the enemy's main body.

Rhodes understood this principle very well, but it was not that he didn't want to do it, but that he couldn't do it.

Now that her left leg is injured, the explosive power and mobility of Ryougi Shiki's container have been reduced by 80%. Standing still to fight back is the best option.

"Well, what should we do then?"

"Of course I'll let this guy deliver it himself."

Rhodes sneered and shook his wrist, turning the knife from the reverse grip a few times to the forward grip, with the tip of the blade pointing at the Dead Apostle.

"Hey, bastard. Don't you have anything else to do besides releasing monsters?

Or are you just too scared to get close to me? I think you should stop calling yourself a vampire and call yourself a coward instead. "

"Asshole..."

The nearly thousand-year-old ancient Dead Apostle made a humiliating sound.

"He's just a dying human, yet I have to use all my strength!"

Nero Chaos, who should have lost his human emotions long ago due to the chaos of the [Beast King's Lair], was easily provoked by Rhodes in this situation.

He's going to do it himself.

This time, the dead apostle did not spit out more monsters from his body.

He absorbed all the bodies killed by Rhodes in an instant, and Nero, who was only half of his body, suddenly returned to his complete state.

[Beast King's Lair] It takes time to transform corpses into life, and he doesn't have enough time to do this now, but these corpses can be used as food to replenish magic power.

"I want you to know that the system tree in my body is superior to that of you humans."

The vampire roared and gestured with the two bowls in front of his chest, and the darkness split open.

He tore open his chest with both hands, leaving a big hole in the Dead Apostle's chest, and the black mud that came out of it wrapped around Nero's human body like a membrane.

[Chaos Open Fantasy Type].

This is Nero Chaos' final and most powerful killing move.

The life scale of the remaining 400-odd beasts in the body that condensed into one individual is undoubtedly equivalent to that of a dragon-type divine beast!

"■■■■■■■■■!!"

"Do you vampires like turning into werewolves so much?"

Rod smiled frivolously.

Nero has now turned into a three-meter-tall hybrid monster [Chimera] that is said to be a werewolf, but is actually a hybrid monster that is somewhat similar to a werewolf.

A ferocious wolf head, strong upper limbs like a lion, sturdy lower limbs like a cow, and huge demon wings on the back.

The magic reaction was dozens of times stronger than before, but Rhodes didn't care: as long as the point of death was still there, the ending would be the same.

""

Almost simultaneously and in tacit agreement, the two men crouched down like sprinters waiting for the starting gun.

There was a distance of about 15 meters between them, staring at each other from half a street away.

This battle will be decided in the next blow, the next charge.

Although Nero Chaos did not know the secret of instant death, he had a strange feeling: If I don't kill him in the next attack, I will be killed by this lowly creature!

So, bet everything on your next move.

Speed ​​determines life and death.

Rhodes had the same idea.

The remaining strength in Ryougi Shiki's body is not enough to continue fighting with the Dead Apostles, and his next attack will penetrate the point of death.

Rhodes lowered his head while maintaining a crouching starting position, while the Dead Apostle raised his head high.

Because he knew he would win.

He had just released more than 100 monsters to let Rhodes fight. It was not just to consume his energy but also to observe.

Observe the body of Ryougi Shiki and find out where its limits are.

As long as it is a living thing, as long as it is human, there is an upper limit to the athletic ability.

Nero Chaos felt the insignificance of individual life, so he transformed himself into a world of 666 wild beasts.

By becoming a member of the Chaos group, he gained power that surpassed both humans and Dead Apostles.

And Nero Chaos is now capturing the enemy's limits.

Now, the Tenth Ancestor of the Dead Apostles, who was once a great magician, has come to a conclusion.

The changed Ryougi Shiki is very strong. His condensed physical skills and straight killing intent are so strong that Nero Chaos doubts the existence of a ghost.

But that's about it.

After becoming a true Phantasma, Nero possesses physical abilities that surpass those of Heroic Spirits.

His speed and strength are dozens of times that of Ryougi Shiki. In the face of such huge violence, any skills are meaningless.

What's more, she only had one leg left to move.

Just like how Kojiro would be crushed without a doubt in a hand-to-hand combat with Hercules, the gap in athletic ability between Rod and Nero is much greater than this!

“I am Nero Chaos, the immortal among the ancient vampires, a being known as Chaos!

The black fantasy species pounced towards Rhodes.

The reaction of his legs flying off the ground even caused an earthquake.

"So... you are not allowed to use the name Nero anymore, bastard!!!"

Rhodes also flew towards Nero Chaos.

The strong wind blew away the stench of the monsters. The movements of the young man in kimono did not look like a human running, but rather like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

The swift and fierce blue figure flashed in at a speed beyond the vampire's imagination!

impossible……

In a thousandth of a second, the chill of fear engulfed Nero Chaos's thoughts.

How could a human with only one usable leg reach such speed?!

Could it be that he has been hiding his strength?

Could it be that the injury on his right leg was fake?

No, it's impossible! My magician's eyes couldn't be wrong! There was no way he still had such explosive power left!

Where on earth... where on earth did he get this amazing speed from! ?

The vampire's eyes widened, and then he saw...

Rhodes, who rushed towards his arms, was actually biting the handle of the knife in his mouth.

"You! You're a human! But you used both your hands and feet to start!?"

That's right, relying solely on one leg to exert force is doomed to fail in defeating the fantasy species.

Too slow, too weak.

There are limits to human abilities.

Rhodes learned one thing from his long life: the more he relied on martial arts, the more he would find that bipedal humans had their limits, unless he surpassed humans!

Use your front legs to run like a wild animal!

More beastly than beasts!

There's no one wilder than me!

The leap and pounce were accomplished with such great strength that it destroyed the left leg and right arm, and it was as fast as lightning.

Nero hastily gave up the attack and let go, slapping Rod's head with both claws.

However, the opportunity to kill Death never comes.

The back of the boy's head brushed against the tip of the claw.

Go around, dodge, and avoid the violent attack by twisting your body.

This is a technique that is based solely on emotion.

The only thing that needs to move is the brain that captures the dead.

In this extreme situation, Rhodes saw the light.

The atomic will, like a whirlpool, has already determined the lifespan of matter.

Galan's point of death.

Rhodes understood instinctively.

If the line is the death of life activities, then the point is the death of the origin of existence.

"Got it!!!"

boom!

Rhodes crashed into the huge body of the fantasy monster, and his eyes flashed towards the center of the light.

The neck tilted, and the knife clenched in the teeth pierced through the extreme point!

Tsk

"!!!"

The vampire opened his mouth in disbelief: "How... is this possible? I'm actually going to die?"

Starting from the fingers, the majestic body of the fantasy species collapsed and scattered piece by piece.

The world called "Chaos" is dying.

The body temperature dissipated like night mist, and the final scene lasted only a moment.

With one stabbing, Rod sacrificed himself and killed all the hundreds of beasts remaining in the vampire's body.

but.

What Nero Chaos couldn't face calmly was not the mythical power of [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception], but the fact that as a Dead Apostle, he lost to humans in terms of athletic ability.

"Why...why did I lose to a human..."

The dissolving ancient vampire questioned unwillingly: "As a member of the beast world, how could I... ..."

"Isn't that natural?"

Rhodes bit the hilt of the knife and said coldly: "As a beast... your purity is too low."

"!!!"

The vampire showed an extremely sad expression.

Purity?

Indeed, he has absorbed countless kinds of beasts over the centuries and even called himself a beast lover [Emperor Nero].

But until the end, he never truly became a beast, but maintained the appearance of a Dead Apostle, an alien species walking between savagery and primates, and complacently believed that vampires were rulers who surpassed all the spirits on earth.

How can a half-assed person like me not lose...

The ancestor of the Dead Apostles, who reigned at the pinnacle of the planet's ecology, turned into black liquid and flowed back to the earth.

“Haha… I’m so tired.”

Rhodes suddenly lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, spitting out the knife he was biting, and looking at the night sky where the clouds were clearing and the moon was visible.

"Am I hallucinating?"
