Chapter 78: Demon King vs. God Knight Shamrock
The chaotic energy was almost tangible — the aftermath of the titanic clash between The Beast of the Void and God Knight Killingham still rippling through land and sea.
Yet far from the Voidreign Kingdom's shores, another battle was about to ignite.
In the middle of the broken sea, two people stood on a big floating rock. The ocean around them was wild, and it looked like a battle between powerful heroes had torn the world apart.
On one side was Meruem, the Demon King, ruler of the Chimera Ants, his emerald aura coiling around him like a living serpent. Eyes sharp, lips curled into a slight smirk of anticipation.
On the other was Shamrock, one of the World Government's strongest God Knights — clad in sacred battle armor, a long crimson cloak fluttering violently behind him. In his grip was the Supreme Cerberus Sword, a mythic weapon fused with the power of an Awakened Mythical Zoan-type Cerberus Devil Fruit.
The air between them crackled as both warriors prepared for war.
Without a word, Shamrock made the first move.
He held his special sword tightly. It glowed with a spooky red light, and three ghostly dog heads appeared along the blade, growling softly.
"Cerberus Slash!" Shamrock roared.
With one mighty swing, a huge wave of shining sword energy burst from the blade, slicing the sky in two. The powerful blast rushed forward like a giant wall, pushing away clouds and splitting the sea beneath it, leaving a big path in the water as it sped toward Meruem.
But the Demon King merely raised a hand, his aura intensifying.
