Chapter 383: Demon, Holy Power!
Chapter 383: Demon, Holy Power!
Ryuunosuke wasn’t observing Green Bull aura at all.
What radiated from him now was pure anger.
As expected—never disturb a fisherman.
If you ruin his catch, no one can save you.
"So, after running your mouth this long... are you ready to die?"
A black aura began to seep from Ryuunosuke’s body. It was the breath of his mental power, pushed to its absolute peak. His strengthening ability even amplified his other powers in turn.
"You don’t still think I’m the Green Bull you humiliated in Marijoa, do you?" Green Bull snarled. "I’m nothing like before. This time, you’ll know real fear!"
A manic gleam filled his eyes as a terrifying surge of energy exploded from his body—the aura of the Infinite Green Stone spilling into the air.
After his loss in Marijoa, Green Bull had not returned to Navy Headquarters. Instead, he’d been taken away by the World Government. What happened to him there, no one knew. Not even Sakazuki, the Fleet Admiral.
The only certainty was this—Green Bull had changed. He returned more arrogant, healing wounds that should’ve been fatal, even regrowing his lost arm. No technology in this world could do that. If it were possible, Zephyr would never have been forced to use a mechanical arm.
Green Bull never spoke of it. Instead, he obsessed over the Dragon Hunter Pirates, swearing they’d pay. He stalked them, hunted their traces, and when he finally found Meliodas, he applied for a battle order.
He came back with his arm shattered and his body broken. Sakazuki himself wondered if the Dragon Hunters had held back and spared him.
Yet once again, Green Bull healed. And now, he stood before Ryuunosuke, overflowing with unnatural power.
"Fear?" Ryuunosuke’s gaze sharpened. "I’ve known fear in this world. But it isn’t you."
He lifted his hand.
A black space tore open, sealing the two of them inside.
Law, watching from outside, could no longer see anything within.
Green Bull sneered. "This might scare low-level marines, but me? You’re overestimating yourself. I’ll show you terror after my rebirth!"
He lunged, fist wreathed in green light, and slammed it against Ryuunosuke.
KANG!
A dull clang echoed. Ryuunosuke didn’t budge.
"Is this the power you’re so proud of?" His voice was laced with contempt.
A surge of recoil blasted outward, sending Green Bull flying.
"Impossible!" Green Bull gasped. "This power—recognized by the highest authority—it should hurt even your kind...!"
He stared at his trembling hand, horror dawning on him. A moment ago he was full of arrogance. Now, he looked like a bullied child, shaking on the ground.
"The strength of power is relative," Ryuunosuke said coldly. "Against children, you’re strong. But in front of me... you’re nothing."
His aura roared to life, a phantom rising behind him.
"God’s Punishment!"
Ryuunosuke raised the Yellow Springs Contract. The temperature dropped instantly. Phantoms twisted into dragon-shaped specters that lunged at Green Bull.
"No...!"
Fear consumed him. His eyes went blank as a foul aura suddenly erupted from within his body.
"...!?"
Ryuunosuke’s expression darkened. He recognized this presence. The aura of demons—the very breath whispered of in the legends of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Until now, he believed demons were merely a powerful race. But as he felt it firsthand, doubt crept in. Perhaps he was wrong.
"Hehehehe..."
A voice no longer belonging to Green Bull echoed out. "Finally... I return to this world. Is this the aura of those insects? Hmph. This world exists to be ruled by us!"
Green Bull eyes rolled back, his voice shifting, his entire presence warping. The man was gone. What stood before Ryuunosuke was something else entirely.
"Demon?" Ryuunosuke muttered. He could feel it—this was no longer Katsuya.
"’Demon’... it’s been ages since we’ve been called that," the creature chuckled. "But yes, you can think of me as—"
BANG!
Before it could finish, Ryuunosuke’s kick smashed into its face, sending the body flying.
Wings of radiant gold burst from Ryuunosuke’s back.
The demon froze. "Impossible! How could anyone here possess holy energy!? This is the Edgeworld—it should be impossible!"
The arrogance in its tone collapsed, replaced with panic. Holy energy—true holy power—was lethal to demons. This wasn’t sealing. This was killing.
"Edgeworld?" Ryuunosuke smirked. "So you’re not of this world either. Outsiders should really learn some manners."
The holy energy surged through his wings, invading the demon’s body, burning it from within. Its fear was written plainly on its face.
An evil smile curled on Ryuunosuke’s lips.
Since it feared holy power, the rest would be simple.
He infused his attacks with it. The dragons circling in the black space now shimmered with glowing light.
Green Bull body—no, the demon’s body—trembled in panic. To it, those dragons were no longer phantoms. They were death itself.
The demon screamed, thrashing to break free of the cage-like space.
But Ryuunosuke wasn’t planning to let it escape.
