Step... step... step... step...
Step by step, step by step.
Every step was accompanied by the rising Spiritual Power, as well as the burning flames.
Lod was covered in flames. He was like an evil spirit that had walked out of purgatory. He stepped on the stairs formed by Reishi and walked into the air. There seemed to be flames burning in his eyes, and they collided with Hela's eyes!
Weng!
At this moment, the entire world seemed to have been pressed to a standstill.
Two formless auras collided in the air, causing a gale visible to the naked eye to howl.
The scorching air was accompanied by a heavy pressure. It spread out in a radius of ten thousand meters like mercury, suffocating everyone!
At the moment when the momentum of both sides reached its peak, Hela's dark green eyes shone with a shocking light. She raised her palm hidden under the black cloak, and her five fingers pressed down on Lod in the shape of a tiger's claw. She coldly spat out a series of words, "Plague, disease, pain, wailing, despair, aging, sluggishness!"
Every time a word came out from Hela, there would be a corresponding negative state that directly fell on Lod.
As the Goddess of Death who was in charge of the Asgard Underworld, although she usually liked to throw weapons like a gold flash and looked like a Berserker, in fact, she was a mage and was proficient in many times more magic than Loki.
Under the suppression of the negative state magic, Lod was inevitably affected, but it was only a little.
Bang -
A hot wave of air exploded in the air.
As the circular flame spread out, a figure shrouded in flames suddenly tore through the sky and stepped in front of Hela!
"Ittōryū: Taimatsu (Torch)!"
A cold voice suddenly sounded in Hela's ears. Before she could react, a flame appeared in her eyes. Then, she saw sword blade, which was wrapped in flames, sweep across the sky like a stream of light, leaving behind a gorgeous sword light!
Boom -
The enormous flame that could not be described with words suddenly turned into a huge wave that could destroy the sky and the earth. It swallowed the unprepared Hela. Then, the endless flames surged in a fan shape, and wave after wave, they spread out to a further place!
The explosive flames that contained within sword's blade, which were extremely fierce and could melt everything, poured out in an instant. They surged wildly in the sky. Looking up, the entire sky turned into a fiery red color, as if it had been swallowed by flames!
But when Lod looked over, he found that Hela, who had been swallowed by the flames, was actually just a phantom.
"Go to hell!"
Hela roared angrily from behind, and countless pitch-black weapons tore through the air.
Originally, when Hela felt that something was wrong, she used the Astral Projection Magic to forcefully move her soul out. Only then did she avoid Lod's Taimatsu, and then used it to launch a sneak attack on her back.
Those pitch black weapons were not ordinary weapons, but one of Hela's divine weapons, the 'Necroswords'.
They were forged from absorbing the power of Helheim, and could be divided into countless parts that could be thrown out. Anyone that was touched by it would inevitably suffer the power of death.
If it was a weaker target, they would die instantly.
"Taimatsu!"
Lod did not even turn his head as he casually slashed out at sword.
Boom!!!!!
The roaring flames detonated all objects in the surroundings. The unparalleled and terrifying temperature melted the pitch-black weapon!
"Try this again. I want to see how many flames you have left!"
However, Hela had already expected that black magic power would be released from her body like a tidal wave.
The entire Helheim seemed to be shaking. Mountains rose from the ground and turned into huge mountain weapons, falling toward the sky like meteors!
"You will see how many flames I have!" Lod's eyes seemed to be shining with stars as he said indifferently, "Ennetsu Jigoku (Flames of Hell)!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The flames that were dozens of times larger than before occupied almost half of the sky and earth, completely turning the area within a radius of ten thousand meters into a hot hell!
Boom
Boundless flames rose into the sky, turning into dozens of pillars of fire that connected the heavens and the earth!
Then dozens of flame pillars gathered at the center, and finally merged together to form a giant flame pillar with a diameter of about a hundred meters. Then, there was a world-shaking rumble.
The boiling flames soared into the sky!
In the midst of the raging flames, Hela's sorry figure stumbled out.
Half of her cloak had already been burned by the flames, revealing half of her body that looked like it had been corroded. The burning pain from all over her body made her face extremely ugly.
"Kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Hela, who had revealed her true body, let out a sharp and piercing roar.
This was the attitude that she was most unwilling to be seen by others. Even Odin had only seen it once or twice, but now it was actually seen by an enemy. This made Hela feel like she could not endure it at all. It was like a giant dragon that had its reverse scale touched. It was instantly filled with rage, and her rationality seemed to have broken.
"Being distracted on the battlefield is a great taboo, Hela."
As Lod spoke, he took a step forward, and sword, who was filled with flames, directly slashed down.
Hela's pupils trembled slightly, and she hesitated for a moment. Then, she raised the Necrosword in front of her chest to block this attack.
The flames that came into contact with her at such a close distance not only ignited her black cloak, but even her divine weapon, the Necrosword, seemed to be melting. Seeing this, Hela wanted to retreat and open up a distance to regroup.
However, it was this action that caused her to fall into a disadvantageous position.
The real battle only depended on an instant!
Therefore, at the moment when Hela lost her mind due to anger, it had almost determined Lod's victory!
"Hu -"
Lod exhaled a scorching white breath from his mouth, and golden flames rose in his eyes.
The boundless raging flames arrived along with the words that were filled with killing intent, causing Hela, who was in a rage, to instantly wake up. For a moment, it was as if she had fallen into a cremation chamber. All the hair on her body stood on end, and her soul felt as if it was about to melt!
"8000 Sword Style・Kyokujitsujin (Rising Sun Edge)!!!"
The endless flames that covered the sky and the earth suddenly disappeared at this moment.
All the flames were concentrated on the scorching red sword's blade. It neither burned nor released explosive flames. The heat that had been highly compressed was enough to completely erase everything in its path in this world with just a light touch. There would not be a single trace left behind.
This move could only be released in the state of Zanka no Tachi, but after a slight improvement from Lod, it could be released in the state of Shikai, but the power of the original weakened was not just a little.
But it was enough to deal with Hela!
Chi -
There was no explosion like he had imagined, nor was there any flames that he had imagined.
After the scorching red sword cut through Hela's body, there was only a slight pain.
A moment later...
Hela, the Goddess of Death, lowered her head in shock and found that half of her body had disappeared without a trace.
