Chapter 155: Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, vs. Boros, the Cerberus – The Battle Quickly Intensifies
Faced with Rayleigh's fierce attack, Boros did not dodge. Instead, he crossed his arms, which were covered in black fur, and blocked the blade.
Clang~
Rayleigh's lightning-fast strike, capable of slicing through steel, only left a deep, bone-revealing white mark on her hair, without cutting her completely!
"Such a tough defense! This mythical beast's physique is even more resilient than I imagined!" Rayleigh was startled, but with his rich combat experience, his longsword trembled violently at the moment of impact, and a condensed wave of domineering energy surged through the blade and into Beros's body.
"Too slow, old man!"
A sinister grin spread across Boros's face. She felt the shockwave impacting her internal organs, but her Mythical Zoan physique granted her extraordinary regenerative abilities and resilience. Instead of retreating, she advanced, her claws instantly coated with ultimate Armament Haki, launching a counterattack against Rayleigh!
"Hell's Three Claws - Soul-Splitting Claw!"
Her claws moved like overlapping phantoms, instantly creating three claw marks imbued with terrifying power. These three claw marks were not merely physical attacks, but also carried the unique impact of the hellhound bloodline, targeting the mind and soul. With each swing, it seemed as if three phantom hellhounds were roaring.
"What nonsense! I'm still quite young, okay? What old man?"
Rayleigh growled. He refused to admit that he was old. Though he was old in body, he was young in spirit. At least for now, he could still go on a wild ride in the red-light district for a day and a night without needing to lean on the wall.
Faced with Boros's attack, he had no choice but to abandon the pursuit and retreat rapidly. He then crossed his arms and used Armament Haki to withstand the three claw marks.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The immense force forced Rayleigh to retreat repeatedly, causing the cloud soil beneath his feet to crumble inch by inch, and also exerting a powerful output on the surrounding sea of clouds, causing it to tremble continuously.
Even more terrifying, three hideous faces of hellhounds briefly appeared in his mind, filled with endless death and hunger, causing his Observation Haki to falter for a moment.
"This is an attack on the soul!" Rayleigh's eyes narrowed. He quickly steadied his mind and used his powerful Conqueror's Haki to dispel the illusion that had invaded his spirit.
"Berlos, you're playing with fire!" Rayleigh roared, sensing the evil nature of the attack.
Brian watched the battle from a distance, his eyes filled with admiration. Boros's power always produced unexpected results, unpredictable and elusive.
"The power of this mythical beast is extremely corrosive. Rayleigh is getting old after all; he has no experience with this kind of supernatural power. It seems the battle is already decided," Brian said to Roger with a cold smile.
Roger's face was ashen. He stared intently at the battlefield, but at this moment he was completely captivated by Brian's presence and could not spare any attention.
If he dares to make any distracting move, he will surely be met with Brian's thunderous strike immediately.
"You brat, don't get cocky! Rayleigh is Hades, he's been through more battles than you've lived!" Roger roared.
"Hmph, it's just Hades. Do you really think he's an ancient weapon?"
In the center of the battlefield, Boros received Brian's affirmation, which made him even more excited.
She knew that Rayleigh's defense and speed were at the limits of human capabilities, making ordinary attacks ineffective; she needed to drag the battle into her territory.
"Old man, come and experience my hometown!"
Boros suddenly opened her mouth, letting out a low, guttural roar like that of a hellish furnace. Black scales appeared on her pale face, and her eyes gleamed with an eerie green light.
"Breath of the Underworld - Black Flame Purgatory!"
A massive, cold, and eerie black flame erupted from Boros's mouth like a tsunami.
This black flame was not like Agni's ghostly fire, which brought burning and corrosion. Instead, it brought extreme cold and death. Wherever it went, the air was instantly sucked dry, life force was devoured, and the cloud soil was quickly carbonized and turned into black ash.
The Black Flame Purgatory spread rapidly outwards from the center of Boros, completely enveloping an area of several hundred meters around it.
Rayleigh's pupils contracted sharply. He sensed the terror of the black flames. Once touched, not only the body but also the soul would be frozen and devoured.
He stomped his foot, unleashing a torrent of Armament Haki that forcibly detached a fragment of the remaining ruins from the ground. He leaped onto the floating boulder and raced at an astonishing speed along the edge of the Black Flame Inferno, attempting to find an opening in Boros's defenses.
"Hades Sword Technique - Shadowless Step!"
Rayleigh moved with ghostly speed, dodging and weaving among the charred ruins, his longsword flashing and unleashing streaks of sword energy imbued with Armament Haki, attempting to pierce through the black flames and attack Boros.
However, Boros stood in the center of the black flames, unmoved like a king of hell. The hellhound's defenses, strengthened by the black flames, became even more impenetrable.
"In my purgatory, you have nowhere to escape!"
Berlos sneered, then plunged her claws into the ground and pulled them apart!
Boom—!
Two deep, hellish chasms instantly split open in the ground, from which a denser black mist surged forth, mixed with eerie green will-o'-the-wisps and accompanied by mournful howls.
"Eternal Purgatory - Demonic Soil Devours Life!"
This demonic soil devours life; it's the ultimate environmental impact of the Hellhound Fruit of the Mythical Beast type. The cloud soil, scorched by black flames, is now completely corrupted by demonic energy, turning into life-devouring black mud.
Rayleigh felt his feet sink, and the footholds he could jump onto became fewer and fewer, as the range of black mud and black flames continuously shrank his space. His powerful Observation Haki was also severely hampered by the black mist and demonic soil, and his senses became blurred.
"Damn it! This woman is restricting my movements!" Rayleigh thought heavily. He knew that once he was trapped in the black flames, his powerful physical and sword skills would be useless.
He decided that he had to confront it head-on and forcefully tear this hell apart!
Rayleigh took a deep breath and poured all his Armament Haki into the longsword "Darkness". The longsword emitted a dazzling light, and the surrounding black flames were pushed back by the powerful Haki when they approached the longsword.
"Hades Sword Technique: Shatter!!"
Rayleigh roared, his longsword slashing forward with tremendous force. A massive and condensed aura of dominance, like a light that cleaved the heavens and earth, struck at Belos in the center of the black flames with unstoppable momentum.
The shattering slash tore through the black flames, ripping the air apart with a sharp whistling sound. This strike carried the essence of Rayleigh's lifelong swordsmanship, its aim being to completely destroy Beros's defenses.
The battle between the two sides immediately entered a stage of complete frenzy.
