I spewed samahadhi true fire from my mouth. It was a beautiful blaze that stopped Yijo in his tracks. I backflipped and stood on all fours as two more tails sprouted from my back. I also activated the 6th stage of my Kansatsume, a shining red iris with pupils which looked like a 6-petal lotus that stared deep into his entire being.
"Now the true fun begins."
My mana erupted as the aura surrounding me became more violent. I charged at him as he also did the same. We clashed with our fists. A huge shockwave resulted as Yijo got pushed back. I didn't let up as I immediately went after him and punched him again. He managed to block but I then instantly appeared at his side, kneeing him right in the ribs. He coughed as I appeared on his other side and landed a spinning hook kick to his head. Before the impact could cause him to be blown away, I quickly swung my other leg around and landed an axe kick down to his head, which instantly slammed him into the ground. I jumped back a bit and landed on all fours. My tails enlarged and changed into 5 fists which immediately bored into Yijo's back, unleashing blow after blow at super fast speeds. After dozens of strikes, I retracted my tails as I formed a ball of purple-red chaos mana in my hand. The energy density was huge as the surrounding air pressure became heavier. The city guards were on high alert as they stood on the city walls watching our fight. They knew not to intrude into a fight of this magnitude.
"Volkano"
Like a massive wave, I released a large beam which slammed into him as he tried to block it with his hands and tails. Before the smoke could clear, I teleported above him and hit him with a double axe handle. As he staggered, I quickly flew up into the air and cupped my hands in front of me horizontally. A ball of bright yellow mana formed in my hands as I charged up a blast. I brought my tails forward as they fired dozens of red Hakushi beams at Yijo. As he looked up, he saw me preparing to shoot a blast at him so he put his guard up, only for me to teleport right under his arms.
"FLASH CANNON"
I shot a highly powered blast of chaos mana right at his open abdomen. He was sent flying as he burst through the city walls, causing the soldiers above to fall over. Yijo came bursting from the rubble as he had compressed a ball of mana in his hand.
"JUST DIE!!!"
I smiled.
"Let me see if this works."
At that moment, I channelled more chaos mana into my left eye. My Hasunome got enhanced as a black ring appeared around the white pupil. I could see all types of energy, even the energy of the world. Everything slowed down. The flow of mana and it's path was visible. The natural mana in the air was visible to me. I could decipher the components that are contained in the ball of mana in his hands.
"Water, Earth and Darkness."
I analysed his attack, created the exact same replica in my hands and rushed at him. Both of our attacks cancelled out in an instant as we were both sent back in opposing directions. Yijim began firing multiple mana blasts. Time seemed to stop as my left eye darted all over, analysing each of the the blast's components.
"Fire, Wind, Light."
I extended my hand as I wanted to try something I've been thinking off.
"Water, Earth, Darkness."
A shockwave made up of those three attributes was released from my hands. The mana blasts Yijim fired were instantly cancelled as he recieved the brunt of my attack which left him hurt. He got angry and fired more of them in droves. I kept up the mana shockwave which would cancel his attacks. He blocked my shockwave attack. He roared as he jumped up into the air and pointed his hand into the sky. He charged up a large ball of mana which appeared maroon with black blotches all over it. It grew to be about as big as a normal two-storey house before he threw it at me.
"HAHAHA THIS WILL KILL YOU!!!"
As the huge ball of mana came towards me, the pressure it exerted tried to keep me in place. As the ball was just a few metres from me, I lifted my hand and I touched it with my finger. A gentle bell chiming sound was heard as my finger touched the ball. Within the length of the sound of the chime, the ball immediately got cancelled as what seemed to be mana residue was all that was left. I looked him.
"I've gotten bored of you."
I knew I didn't have enough power left to instantly finish him. Even though I'm stronger than him, it would take me atleast another 6 hours to fully kill him. I sighed.
{Karina. Lend me some of your mana}
She was cultivating inside my consciousness when she opened her eyes and sighed.
{...fine}
At that moment, my red aura suddenly changed into a bright golden aura. My hair spiked up more than before as my maroon hair colour from my Vermillion Mode changed to a bright gold. I lifted my finger up.
"One minute."
I burst forward at unperceivable speeds.
"All I need is one minute."
I unloaded a powerful right hook to his face and then appeared behind him and kneed him in the back, right on the spine. I appeared in front of him and horse kicked him in the chin. Before he could even fly up from the impact momentum, I instantly jumped up and hit him with a flying roundhouse kick right on the face. As he fell backwards, I extended my finger and unleashed multiple Hakushi beams on his body. I kept up the attacks for a few seconds. I then made my tail go underground as it erupted underneath him like a pillar, sending him far into the sky. I vanished and appeared in front of him as I high kicked him in the chin, propelling him further upwards. I teleported behind him and kicked him higher. I kept repeating this combo a few more times before I hit him a super powerful double axe handle. He fell down to the ground at incredible speeds as his crash caused a massive crater. As he rebounded from the crash, using the momentum from flying down really fast, I landed on his head with my foot, causing the crater to grow bigger and deeper. I sent extra mana to four of my tails as they rose up. Immediately, I wrapped my tails around his limbs and brought him closer to me. He would be the first person I try the new skill I made on.
"Ribasuai."
My left eye changed as my pupil turned completely black. My iris turned white with black spiral patterns connected to my pupil. The remaining part of my eye turned completely black. I stared deep into his eyes and trapped him in an illusion. I observed his life from when he was still a young kid all the way to the time he got the title of citylord. I observed all the deeds he commited, all the murders, bribery and extortion he committed to get to his position. I saw how he killed the peace-loving previous citylord who had took him in in order to usurp his position. I saw how he used criminals to extort extra cash from the people living in the city. I touched his forehead.
"An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. What you have done to them shall be done unto you."
Yijo began experiencing all the misdeeds he caused from the victim's perspective. He had to relive the entire life of a victim he affected. He once killed the son of a farmer who refused to pay the high taxes. He had to experience his grief until the end of his life, constantly toiling on the fields until he finally died from overworking. He also experienced the life of a woman who he raped in order to steal her primordial energy from her perspective. He felt everything the woman felt at that time and he lived the rest of his days as her until she finally commited suicide. He had to live the lives of hundreds of his victims until they died. It went on over and over again. He was slowly losing his sanity as the anger, grief, despair and sadness of the people he raped, killed, tortured and extorted infiltrated his own essence. There were still hundreds of thousands of more people he had to live as. From villages he slaughtered before he was barely 100 years old to the city of Blanca where he ruled for 500 years. He lived the lives of people who he affected with his high taxes and other atrocities. I smiled as I observed his life.
"Suffer in pain."
He had to go through torture for thousands of years. Each time he died in one victim's body, he immediately reincarnated into the next. By the time he got to the last victim which was a young girl Veruheim had sold as a slave, he was utterly broken. His will and pride was nowhere to be seen. As he approached the end of the girl's life in a dipilated shack with her legs gone, I appeared to him.
"Do you confess?"
With eyes that had no life whatsoever, he replied.
"I confess."
I cancelled the illusion as we appeared in the main world. Yijo had already reverted to his human form. He was both alive but dead as his mind and soul were utterly broken. His eyes were soulless. I backed away from him as I held my left eye. It was bleeding profusely.
"I see. The more sins one had commited, the more burden I will suffer."
My golden transformation had completely cancelled due to my Ribasuai consuming too much mana.
My tails had disappeared and my hair had reverted back to its normal blonde. I sat down on the ground tired. I had drained nearly all of my mana. Ashley appeared next to me with Amiri in her hands.
"MASTER! ARE YOU OKAY?!"
I didn't answer her as I simply took out my sword from my dimensional space and dropped it as it pierced the ground.
"Here. Take it."
"But mast-"
"You want your revenge right? Do it."
She walked over and held it with both her hands. She picked it up and looked at Yijo.
"ON BEHALF OF MY WHITE WOLF CLAN THAT YOU EXTERMINATED, ON BEHALF OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU RUINED THE LIVES OF AND...on behalf of my son...I sentence you to death. I, Amiri Baraka, SWEAR TO AVENGE THEM ALL!!!"
A huge surge of white mana erupted around her as she swung the sword, instantly beheading Veruheim. She breathed heavily as she handed me my sword on her knees.
"Thank you master. Thank you mistress. Tha-"
Tears started flowing out of her.
"Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much."
The tears started coming out more. She hugged me tightly.
"Our suffering has finally ended. I have avenged my clan and my son. Thank you very much."
Ashley hugged her from behind as she also had a few tears. I couldn't help but smile.
"You're welcome."
