* CHI *
Wisps of white smoke rose from the edge of sword's blade. The carbonized black lake gradually faded and returned to its original pitch black color as Lod's boiling Spiritual Power calmed down.
"Hu."
Lod opened her closed lips slightly and spat out a hot stream of air. After a large amount of sweat in her body was released, it formed a faint white smoke that rose in the air, emitting the remaining heat.
"Lod, your hand."
Mochael's beautiful face rose with a touch of surprise. Only then did she notice that the man's right hand that was holding sword just now was covered with cracks like black charcoal. It was as if a light touch would shatter all over the ground.
It was obvious that maintaining that state would require a certain price.
This arm that had been burnt to ashes was the price that Lod had to pay for attempting to such high level zanpakuto release.
This kind of similar experience only appeared once when he was still weak and forced to use the power of the Hyourinmaru.
However.
After all, this was the ancient zanpakuto that existed in itself, equivalent to Soul Society's history. It was not surprising that he had such destructive power. It was the same for both his enemies and his own side.
"It doesn't matter. It has no effect on me."
Lod exhaled, glanced at his right hand, and said indifferently, "It's just an arm. It will recover very soon."
It will recover very quickly?
Michael was stunned for a moment, but she immediately understood the reason why Lod said this.
Kacha. Kacha.
With a crisp sound, Michael saw the burnt and hardened skin on Lod's arm begin to peel off piece by piece, revealing a bright red color, brand new muscles and skin.
In just a few seconds of time, Lod's burnt and carbonized right arm had become as good as before, and even the sound of bones cracking could be heard when he clenched his fist.
Michael was dumbstruck.
In her memories, humans had never had such a power that could regrow limbs!
"That's it."
Lod clenched his fist and felt his strength. After finding that it was no different from before, he smiled and said, "This kind of small injury can be healed very quickly."
"Humans are indeed amazing."
Michael was an angel after all. She was only shocked for a moment, but soon she regained her calm and smiled, "Originally, I planned to give you the Divine Blessing, but now it seems that I don't need it."
"Let's put the matter of the blessing aside for now." Lod looked around again and frowned. "We should pay more attention to why the summoning ceremony is still going on even though Wilbur is dead?"
"There is only one possibility."
Michael pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "That is, the host of the ceremony, Will Count Vote Thunder, is not completely dead yet, so the summoning ceremony can continue to operate!"
"Although it is hard to believe, it is not impossible." Lod narrowed his eyes and slowly swept his gaze over the complicated blood-red runes beneath his feet. He silently acknowledged the angel's guess in his heart.
According to his previous experiences, although Wilbur's individual strength was not strong, in terms of tenacity, he was comparable to cockroaches hidden in damp sewers.
And what was most admirable about cockroaches was their exuberant vitality.
Even if their brains were cut off, they could survive for more than seven days. In addition to the terrifying breeding speed of the species, other than the difference in appearance, it was almost the same as the feeling that Wilbur gave.
"Do you have a way to find it?"
Lod frowned, a hint of impatience in his tone.
He noticed that the degree of drawing of the ritual under his feet was gradually approaching completion and success. The blood-red mysterious runes were drawing an extremely large and complicated ritual slowly. It was obvious that there was not much time left for them!
"I'm very sorry. If I were at my peak, I might have a way to find its traces. But currently, I can't use the Blazing Angel Wings, so I can't help you." Michael's emerald green eyes dimmed a little, and her words revealed a sense of loss.
"I understand. You don't have to feel sorry."
Lod was expressionless, and he was not disappointed in his heart. He said calmly, "It seems that I can only use that move. Although it will be a bit wasteful, it is better than letting that ghost come."
Michael opened her mouth slightly and his eyes were full of curiosity.
Although she really wanted to ask what other trump cards Lod still had, since the situation was urgent and it was not the time to ask these questions, she suppressed her doubts and planned to see what move he was talking about.
"This is the first time I used it."
Lod took a deep breath and Spiritual Power rushed out like a surging river. "Since you insist on hiding in the dark and not coming out, then destroy together with this city, Wilbur!"
Weng weng!
The Reishi in the atmosphere trembled violently and was attracted like a hurricane.
The spiritual energy visible to the naked eye turned into a torrent, roaring like an invisible hand that stirred the entire sky. Finally, a huge 'funnel' formed above Lod. The huge amount of spiritual energy gathered instantly poured down, crazily pouring into the man's body.
The huge Spiritual Power that could not be described with words was constantly released from his body.
A huge pitch-black pillar of light rose from the ground. It was like a sharp sword that pierced through the sky. Even the blood-red ritual boundary was unable to completely block this terrifying Spiritual Power. The color of the entire world seemed to be plundered at this moment, leaving only the endless deep darkness in front of her.
This level of energy was different.
Michael stared at it in a daze. At this time, the unknown energy gathered by Lod was infinitely approaching its peak!
"..."
Lod's bright eyes flashed with a light that was like the stars. He raised a finger to the sky and read. He spat out a series of vague words from his mouth, but they contained an invisible pressure.
Those prayer words were only recited, but they had already activated the huge amount of spiritual energy that had gathered!
The entire earth was continuously collapsing. hollow was swept by the ripples of spiritual energy. It was the scene of paper being torn apart. The crisp sound of collapse could not bear the burden. It was like the crackling of firecrackers.
Spiritual Power, that was gathered in the air, was almost about to liquefy.
Michael, who was near Lod, suddenly felt that her breathing was a little difficult. The smooth surface of her skin, which was as white as jade, was actually covered with countless goose bumps. Her green eyes revealed deep shock.
The long and complicated prayer words finally ended.
"Hadō #99. Goryūtenmetsu (Five Swirling Dragons of Destruction)!"
Lod read out the name of Hado from the highest list word by word.
After completely chanting, the power of Hado was enough to erase this city from the surface. No matter where Wilbur was hiding, it was impossible for him to survive this attack!
Roar
The earth-shattering dragon roar shattered a thousand miles of the sky.
The surging, almost tangible flood of Spiritual Power gradually solidified, turning into ferocious and majestic divine dragons that circled around, and then shook into the clouds of the nine heavens, releasing heaven-shaking roars in this blood-red world.
The dragon-shaped body formed by the enormous Spiritual Power released incomparable power every time it moved through the clouds, causing the entire sky to tremble, setting off waves that were visible to the naked eye.
In the next moment, five giant dragons broke through the clouds and rushed straight to the ground!
