"If this is all you have, you will die today."
Yamamoto stated matter-of-factly.
"Heh heh, I will indeed die, but not today." Yhwach didn't comment.
Then, waving his hand towards Yamamoto, he fired back the pillar of fire he had just absorbed.
And following the pillar of fire was Yhwach's Quincy sword!
Seeing these attacks, Yamamoto snorted coldly: "This is why I said you haven't improved, Yhwach!"
Facing Yhwach's incoming attack, Yamamoto didn't even bother to defend. He took it head-on!
Boooooom—
The pillar of fire and arrows struck Yamamoto, creating a deafening roar.
"Captain-Commander-sama!"
Watching him suddenly take a hit, everyone was worried.
They even used his old title.
But seeing this, Sora wasn't worried at all.
Because he knew how strong the Oken made someone.
He casually waved his hand towards the battlefield.
A gentle breeze blew, and in the next second, the true state of the battle was revealed.
"Wow!!!" Seeing the true battle, everyone was shocked.
Yamamoto was completely unharmed! Not only that, the upper part of his body was exposed, revealing crisscrossing scars that were astonishing to behold.
"Tch!" Seeing how durable Yamamoto was, Yhwach clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"After all these years, Yamamoto, you're still this tough."
"But, after all these years, I haven't just been idle either, Yamamoto!"
Roaring low, Yhwach slammed his hand onto the ground.
A terrifying Reiatsu, vast as a river or sea, poured out.
Instantly, an invisible arena formed within everyone's perception.
Looking at Yamamoto, Yhwach said: "Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, today, only one of us will leave this place."
"Can you feel it? The covenant binding us?"
"Oh?" Hearing Yhwach's words, Yamamoto perceived and then nodded.
"Yes, I can feel it."
"Impressive, Yhwach." Yamamoto could clearly sense that today, only one of them would walk out.
But amidst his praise, Yamamoto also revealed a ferocious smile.
"Then I can kill you without worry, Yhwach!"
Raising Ryujin Jakka, Yamamoto swung it forward.
"Ennetsu Jigoku!"
Boooooom—
With Yamamoto's swing, an unprecedented wall of flame erupted!
To everyone's astonishment, a wall composed entirely of flames appeared. The patterns of its bricks, the textures, were incredibly clear.
It looked just like a real wall!
And this wall was now hurtling towards Yhwach with unprecedented, powerful speed!
Within this confined arena, Yhwach had almost nowhere to dodge!
"Damn it!" Looking at Yamamoto's attack, Yhwach was also displeased. His own technique was being used against him.
But he still had to use it because it was necessary.
"Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, die with me!"
Yhwach roared. Corresponding to the wall of flame, a sea of arrows erupted from Yhwach's body.
Countless arrows formed from Reiatsu, like an ocean, crashed against Yamamoto's wall of fire!
Boooooom—
The ocean and the wall of fire collided, producing a deafening roar like the Amazon River!
Everyone around covered their ears.
But such an exchange was merely a skirmish for the two combatants.
"Ennetsu Jigoku: Infinity!"
Yamamoto swung his sword repeatedly.
One wall of flame after another charged towards Yhwach.
This had truly become a clash between walls of fire and an ocean!
Seeing this, Yhwach's expression changed. He couldn't fight Yamamoto head-on.
A thousand years ago, he had died precisely because he fought head-on.
Fortunately, he had learned some new tricks over the millennium.
Yhwach wrote in the air.
The next second, a gate opened before Yhwach. He stepped through and appeared behind Yamamoto.
Wielding a greatsword, Yhwach thrust it towards Yamamoto's back.
But at that moment, Yamamoto had anticipated Yhwach's attack.
With almost no delay, Yamamoto turned and swung his sword.
Clang!
The slender katana clashed with the greatsword, ending with the greatsword being pushed back!
Under Yamamoto's single blow, Yhwach was sent flying dozens of meters!
Seeing this, Yamamoto sneered: "Heh, Yhwach, you're not much after all."
"Hmph!" Hearing Yamamoto's words, Yhwach was annoyed.
