Chapter 360.1. Helheim And Kanna Yamato


-Kanna Yamato's POV-

Under the influence of Kanna Yamato's mana, the obsidian hall vibrates. Floating dust in the air crackles and bursts, and a storm races through the hall.

Kanna Yamato envelops himself in a golden aura, unleashing his full power, and fixing a sharp gaze upon Helheim. Sensing this power, Helheim lets out a slight gasp of surprise and applauds.

"Marvelous, Kanna Yamato. Power beyond the limits of a mere human. You took precautions, didn't you?"

"Heh, miscalculation? The current me has only 1 soul. I manipulated Draupnir to gather the rest in this body."

Kanna Yamato, who never truly trusted people, always took precautions. Especially with the contract with Spatial Witch. A wrong step could lead to disaster.

Secretly learning how to operate the Sacred Artifact Draupnir, and in preparation for a possible betrayal by Spatial Witch, or Helheim, he gathered 4 out of the remaining 5 souls.

Gathering souls meant gaining strength. For Kanna Yamato, gathering four souls was the optimal number to maintain control over himself.

"You have absolute confidence in your power. Have you forgotten Takano Miu already defeated you? And I'm stronger than Takano Miu."

"Don't compare me to a mere copy. Do you think the current me has only the power of a copy doll?"

In response to the confident Kanna Yamato, Helheim answers with a wry smile.

"Indeed, stronger than a copy doll. However, you're fundamentally the same. Let's say it's power suitable for foolish humans."

"Enough of your nonsense!"

Activating the golden aura even further, Kanna Yamato channels a vast amount of mana into his sword, unsheathing it. He locks eyes with Helheim, closing the distance of several meters instantly, and employs a martial technique.

[Sonic Blade]

A sound resonates as the sharp blade approaches Helheim's neck. Ignoring even the sound of the wind, scattering destructive power through a sonic boom, Kanna Yamato beheads Helheim before he can react.

Or so he intended.

"What?"

However, Kanna Yamato opens his eyes wide in surprise at the unexpected scene.

"Ahaha, surprised? Are you surprised?"

Helheim's palm held the sword. Despite Kannagi Yamato not being able to perceive any movement with his eyes.

Moreover, the strike, which could cut even orichalcum armor, did not leave a single scratch on Helheim's seemingly soft skin.

"Tch, you do have some power indeed."

[Sonic Blade Barrage]

He clicks his tongue, tilting his body and bending at the waist. Kanna Yamato retracts the sword. He launches rapid strikes — an upward strike from the right, a sweep across the left torso, and a thrust faster than a bullet.

Gykin

The sonic sword released these attacks instantly. But the result was just a single metallic sound. The rapid strikes were too fast to be recognized individually, merging into one sound.

Helheim had somehow turned her palm towards the oncoming sword. All the attacks collided with Helheim's palm as if she were holding a stick, and the attacks got deflected.

"Ahaha, this isn't sleight of hand, you know?"

"Have you stopped pretending to be a quiet, wise sage, Spatial Witch!"

Amidst Helheim's raucous laughter, Kanna Yamato frowns, steps back, and questions the change in demeanor.

"Isn't it obvious? With this tone, the mystique would be lost, right? So, I put in a bit of effort. The real me used to be a bit mischievous."

"No need to wear a mask anymore!"

"Nyan-nyan-nyan. Ahaha."

Laughing with a wide-open mouth like a fool, Helheim moves his palms like a beckoning cat, teasing Kanna Yamato. Irritated by this attitude, Kanna Yamato grits his teeth.

Being mocked to this extent is a first in his life. It's a gut-wrenching feeling.

"Well then, it's my turn."

[Cursed]

While laughing, Helheim releases a wave of miasma from her shaded palm. The purplish ominous wave, about a person's size, corrodes the ground it passes over, approaching Kanna Yamato.

If it hits, it would eat through magical barriers and rot everything, bringing death.

"Don't underestimate me."

[Hayate]

However, Kanna Yamato, after exhaling slightly to calm himself, calmly moves to evade.

Creating a whirlwind, Kanna Yamato's body instantly shifts away from the trajectory of the miasma wave. He moves to Helheim's side, leaving only a faint sound as it touches the floor.

"Ahaha, quite the speed. Were you a fly in your past life?"

[Cursed Burn]

Helheim dispels the magic and transitions to the next one. A dome of miasma spreads around Helheim, corroding the air, melting the floor, and shattering the ceiling.

In the center of the miasma dome spreading throughout the hall, Helheim proudly declares, like an excited child.

"You can't avoid this magic from all directions!"

"Indeed, that's true. But have you forgotten the power you gave me?"

[Magic Break]

Unperturbed, Kanna Yamato directs his fingertip toward the approaching miasma. He's released an invisible wave is released, colliding with the miasma, and distorting space.

The miasma wave, hit by Kanna Yamato's [Magic Break], is easily nullified without resistance.
