Just as Illumi believed victory was in his grasp, a large number of black lines shot out from the core in his hand.
"Swish swish swish..."
Dense black lines shot into the empty cavity in the pure white figure's chest, connecting with the core. The core in his palm moved, wanting to return to that body.
Illumi's eyes narrowed, and he clenched the core tightly, not allowing it to escape his grasp.
"Rumble..."
The ground beneath Illumi's feet trembled, and black and red tentacles suddenly emerged, wrapping around his body and arms, lifting him high into the air.
"Hmph, a futile struggle."
Illumi chuckled softly, allowing the black and red tentacles to lift him, but refusing to release the core. Although held high by the black and red tentacles, Illumi wasn't worried about being injured at all. His strongest defense covered his entire body, leaving no blind spots in his defense.
"Boom boom boom..."
From beneath the fallen pure white figure, three blood-red tentacles emerged and, with a series of "thump" sounds, inserted themselves into his back.
"Hum..."
Faint energy continuously transferred from the blood-red tentacles into the pure white figure's body.
"Ugh ah ah ah..."
Receiving energy, blood-red light bloomed in his pure white eyes. His head suddenly rose, and he let out an angry roar at Illumi.
"The wails of the defeated."
However, in Illumi's eyes, this was merely a last resort, as the core was still in his hand. Without the core, he was merely relying on those blood and energy to forcefully sustain himself. The opponent could not break through the strongest defense, and thus would never be able to do anything to him.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
At this moment, a large number of tentacles surged towards them. Dense tentacles coiled, twisted, and wrapped around the blood-red tentacles.
From the pure white figure, a dazzling bloody light erupted. In a burst of blood-colored radiance, it converged into a black and red giant dragon with a lower body of tentacles and only a dragon's head.
"Roar!"
Once the black and red giant dragon formed, it raised its head and opened its mouth, letting out a convincing dragon's roar towards the sky.
Immediately, it lowered its head to look at Illumi. The tentacles wrapped around him lifted him high, directly in front of the dragon's head.
"These black and red roots are what awaits you ants next!"
"The blood of humans will become my power, allowing me to be reborn!"
His lower body was hidden within the dragon's head, leaving only his upper body exposed. He looked at Illumi, who was bound by numerous tentacles, his voice carrying a hint of decay and madness.
"Mimicking the dragon created by Maha Zoldyck?"
He looked at that extremely ugly thing. Calling it a dragon was less accurate than calling it a bug with a dragon's head. But Illumi felt no panic in his heart. As long as he didn't let go, the opponent couldn't recover. He was merely getting a little energy replenishment now.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A series of tearing sounds came. Golden chains inserted into the black and red giant dragon's head.
"It doesn't hurt at all."
The pure white figure crossed his arms, looking at the golden chains inserted into the dragon's head, completely nonchalant.
"Your opponent is me!"
Botobai held the golden chain, leaped into the air, and golden chains shot out from the golden light ball in his hand, attacking the pure white figure on the dragon's head.
"As you wish, I'll start killing from you!" the pure white figure roared.
"Hum..."
The dragon's head beneath him opened its massive mouth 180 degrees, and blood-red energy gathered within it.
Even his moves are mimicked from Maha Zoldyck.
Illumi thought to himself.
Botobai looked at the energy ball gathering in the dragon's mouth, his heart tightened. He shook the chain in his hand, and his body rapidly glided through the air in a parabolic arc.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
But just as he was about to break free from the black and red giant dragon's attack lock, two black and red tentacles shot out from the giant dragon's mouth, catching up with the gliding Botobai and wrapping around his body.
No sooner had Botobai been entangled than the energy ball from the black and red giant dragon's mouth suddenly launched towards him. As the energy ball launched, the tentacles from the dragon's mouth also pulled Botobai's body back, causing him to collide with the energy ball.
"Boom!"
The moment Botobai was hit by the blood-red energy ball, the black and red tentacles and the golden chain in his hand simultaneously broke. He fell towards the city, holding the blood-red energy ball in his arms.
"Ahhhhhhh..."
In mid-air, Botobai roared, a large amount of aura surged from his body, his eyes bloodshot, his arm muscles bulging, and blue veins visible. He wanted to squeeze the blood-red energy ball until it exploded.
"Rumble!"
But in the end, he still fell into the city, collapsing a large building and causing a violent explosion.
"Tap tap tap..."
At this moment, a crisp but hurried footsteps sounded, and Illumi's lips curled up.
In Illumi's line of sight, a figure dressed in a white shirt and holding a military saber was stepping on the black and red giant dragon's body, sprinting towards the dragon's head with a bowed posture.
The pure white figure's eyes narrowed, and he quickly turned his head to look behind him. But he could only see a scarlet eye and a flash of white light.
"Swish!"
A flash of blade light passed. He felt as if something had been cut off from him.
"Heh..."
Illumi's lips spread into a wide smile. A surge of aura erupted from his body, breaking free from the entanglement of numerous tentacles. He stepped on a tentacle and leaped onto the dragon's head.
"It's over!"
Illumi's lips curved upward. One hand held the core, and the palm of his other hand was open. A black ball of aura formed impatiently in his palm.
On the dragon's head, he looked down at the severed black lines on his chest, then looked up at Illumi, who stood before him, looking down. His pure white eyes seemed to tremble, and his mouth opened and closed.
"Mere ant..."
"Good, keep that arrogance. I like it very much."
Before his words fell, Illumi interrupted him. He raised his left hand high, then suddenly swung it down, stuffing the black ball of aura from his palm into the pure white figure's mouth.
"Mmph mmph mmph..."
The pure white figure's eyes suddenly widened dramatically. His body trembled violently. At his throat, a round object was forcefully expanding his windpipe, entering his body.
"Swallow it all, this might be the only, and best, material in this world."
Illumi looked down at the violently trembling body, a faint anticipation in his heart. His arrogance was about to be born.
"Mmph mmph mmph..."
The pure white figure trembled violently. Suddenly, the dense cracks on his body began to widen, and wisps of black smoke drifted out from within him.
"Hiss hiss..."
Immediately after, his body seemed to be incinerated, emitting tiny sparks. His skin cracked into small pieces, peeling off like bark.
Not only that, even the dragon's head beneath their feet was being incinerated, turning into black smoke and slowly dissipating.
"This is..."
Illumi looked at the city. This scene was everywhere. In the city, the large number of black and red tentacles that had impaled human corpses and held them aloft in the air, with the disappearance of the main body, all turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated into the air.
"Pfft."
Suddenly, a child's pale arm reached out from the burning body.
