Amamiya Haruki, dressed in a black kimono and gripping a long blade, stood quietly amid the torrential rain. His sharp eyes narrowed slightly as they fixed on the terrifying colossal shadow atop the rain-curtained mountain.
He bit down hard on the tip of his tongue, and the salty tang of blood instantly filled his mouth. Lowering his head, he sprayed a mist of blood onto the Rain Collapse in his hand. Mixed with the surrounding rainwater, it clung to the blade's surface, and the originally deep-blue blade quickly took on an eerie blood-red hue.
He reversed the blade and drove it forcefully into the puddle gathered beneath his feet!
In the reflection on the water's surface, a white-haired, white-robed blade spirit held an identical Rain Collapse and stabbed into the water at the same time as Amamiya Haruki. The shadows of the two long blades immediately overlapped.
Boom—!!
An invisible shockwave erupted from Amamiya Haruki. His bloodstained black kimono snapped loudly in the rain, while his black hair visibly began to turn pale. An indescribable divine aura radiated from his cold eyes.
The blade spirit in the puddle's reflection began to merge with Amamiya Haruki's shadow.
Amamiya Haruki took a deep breath and instantly pulled the Rain Collapse from the puddle. Stomping hard against the ground, he flashed into the reflection of a raindrop and charged toward the Corpse God atop the mountain at astonishing speed!
Koyuan Yoshiki's mouth fell open in shock at the sight.
Just then, Yurina bit her lips, swiftly slung the wooden crate onto her back, grabbed his wrist, and ran downhill.
"Run!" Yurina's eyes were filled with sorrow and resolve amid the downpour. "Brother Amemiya has entered the Rain God state. Every second we stay here, he burns away a massive amount of his lifespan!
