Chapter 198: Another Dimension, Abyss of the Underworld
The words fell.
Lightning erupted from Sonic's sword.
His eyes sharpened, and both hands exerted force as he swung forward with a fierce strike.
Facing that slash, Underworld King Pluton clearly felt the pressure. But rather than fear, it only stirred its fighting spirit.
"You think you can kill me like this?"
Its crimson eyes burned.
"How naive!"
It held the bone cleaver horizontally in front of itself and thrust the trident forward with its other hand.
However, the collision it expected never happened.
Asuramaru's shattered sword passed straight through the cleaver.
What is going on with that sword?
Pluton's expression changed instantly.
But in the next moment, its face became even more frenzied. Scalding air burst from its nostrils.
Then let's see whose will is harder!
Power erupted from its massive body.
The trident thrusting forward suddenly ignited with scorching flames.
Before the flames even reached him, Sonic was already drenched in sweat from the rolling heat.
Even so, he saw through Pluton's intention at once.
He could not help sneering.
"Truly foolish beyond belief."
The moment those words left his mouth, the flaming trident had already arrived before him.
At the same time, Sonic's full powered slash cut into Pluton's right shoulder.
The edge tore through skin and flesh in an instant, continuing downward as if it intended to split the Monster's body in two.
But Pluton no longer cared.
"Die, ant!"
In the next moment, the flaming trident seemed ready to pierce through Sonic's body.
The people who had already fled to a safe distance could not help breaking out in cold sweat for him.
But at that critical instant, Sonic activated Flying Thunder God.
His figure vanished from the spot and reappeared beside the bone cleaver.
"How is this possible?!"
Pluton's expression changed drastically. Its crimson pupils contracted.
"You possess spatial abilities too?!"
The sword sliced from its right shoulder all the way toward its left chest.
Just before the strike could reach its heart, Pluton gritted its teeth and roared.
"You think this is over? Hellfire!"
In an instant, a surging wave of air erupted from the inside of its body.
Fortunately, Sonic planted his feet firmly and held his ground.
But immediately after, he sensed something wrong.
He activated Flying Thunder God again and appeared on the rooftop of the original residential building.
Almost at the same moment, endless flames erupted outward from Pluton.
The flames spiraled upward and gradually condensed into three enormous tornadoes, each over a hundred meters tall.
Everything nearby was annihilated.
Even the sword fragments were swept into the blaze and carried away from Pluton's side.
Amidst the flames, the Underworld King roared.
The hideous wound across its body began healing at a visible speed.
Even the sword fragments embedded in its flesh were forced out.
After doing all this, Pluton looked through the flames at Sonic standing on the rooftop.
Its voice was deep and heavy.
"To think a mere human could use spatial abilities."
Its nostrils exhaled hot smoke.
"But that is as far as you go."
"I will kill you and resurrect you as my puppet!"
As it spoke, Pluton activated its ability.
In an instant, an invisible force spread out from its body and enveloped the entire area.
In the blink of an eye, everyone discovered that the sky had turned dark.
Compared to the others, Sonic immediately sensed the anomaly.
"Is this the so called other space?"
He could clearly feel that he was no longer in the original world.
Fortunately, he had left Flying Thunder God Marks and sword fragments back in City Y.
If he wanted to leave, he could do so at any time.
Meanwhile, Pluton stood amidst the ruins, looking down at the ant before it.
The bone cleaver in its hand glowed with scorching flames.
"This is my world."
Its voice rumbled through the darkness.
"The Abyss of the Underworld."
"Everything here is under my control. I am the only god in this place."
Pluton raised its cleaver.
"The spatial ability you are so proud of will be suppressed by my space here."
"Now, you are nothing more than a lamb waiting for slaughter. After I kill you, you will become my..."
Before it could finish speaking, Sonic, who had been standing still, appeared at its right side.
He raised his right hand with lightning speed.
Thunder condensed in his palm.
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
The lightning stretched out like a beam and shot forward from his hand.
With a swing of Sonic's arm, the beam slashed straight ahead.
"What?!"
Pluton's expression froze.
Its space was clearly suppressing the opponent at every moment.
So why was he not affected?
There was no time to think.
Facing the lightning, Pluton could only raise its cleaver and slash forward.
This strike seemed to replicate the blow that had destroyed the city. The buildings brought into the abyss were leveled once more.
But Sonic had already vanished again.
The sword fragments scattered throughout the battlefield gave him perfect footholds.
In Pluton's line of sight, black light flashed again and again.
It could only swing its cleaver wildly and roar.
"Damn ant! Can you do nothing but run?!"
Sonic only sneered.
With a thought, he controlled the sword fragments to dance through the air.
At the edge of the battlefield, Satoru Suzuki and the others had also been dragged into this space.
Watching the fight in the distance, they could not hide their horror.
Lightning Max, slumped on the ground, stared at the battle with wonder in his eyes. His gaze was fixed especially on the flickering black light.
"That person definitely has S Class strength."
His voice was filled with disbelief.
"But why have I never heard of him before?"
Death Gatling spoke objectively from the side.
"To fight a Dragon level disaster alone, even among S Class Heroes, not everyone can do that."
After all, the standard for S Class Heroes was actually benchmarked against Demon level threats.
As long as a hero could defeat a Demon level disaster alone, they had the potential to become S Class.
Unlike the two, Stinger asked the most important question.
"How are we supposed to leave this place?"
He looked up at the dark sky.
"This shouldn't be City Y anymore, right?"
Hearing this, the three looked at one another and fell silent.
Standing in front of them, Satoru Suzuki looked at Sonic's figure in the distance and fell into thought as well.
That person had definitely used a Breathing Style just now.
And the shattered sword in his hand gave Satoru a feeling that was both familiar and strange.
It was as if that sword was also Asuramaru.
Satoru stood in place and asked in his mind with confusion, "Asuramaru, what is the deal with the sword in that person's hand?"
Faced with this question, Asuramaru calmly repeated the same explanation he had given before.
After learning the situation, Satoru's breathing became slightly hurried.
"If he defeats the overlord of the universe before I do..."
His hand tightened around the hilt.
"Will you leave me?"
As for the matter of voluntarily submitting to the other party, Satoru did not even consider it.
He had worked so hard to change his fate.
He would never give up so easily.
