The combined attack from Rocks and Loki sent Imu's body flying backward, though during the process, Imu still made the gesture to launch a Demon Qi attack.
"A fine slash, Rocks! But it looks like my attack had a much more significant effect, doesn't it?"
"You brat are just as annoying as you were back then! This guy isn't so easy to deal with, be careful!"
Unlike Loki, Rocks noticed the changes happening on Imu's body.
Those attacks looked effective, but fundamentally they hadn't caused any real impact, whereas the eerie black flame released by Imu had already reached their side.
"Wrath Sword!"
Boom!!!
The Wrath Sword, Gram-a blade whose power could be increased by infusing it with wrath, and which would explode during a slash.
The Demon Qi flames beside Loki and Rocks now seemed to act as a beacon guiding Imu's attack, and a series of explosions closed in on the two out of thin air.
After the strike, Imu withdrew the Wrath Sword in hand, instead condensing a brand-new, slender sword blade, the tip thrusting straight toward the side.
"Fragarach!"
Fragarach, the Sea God Sword-and Imu's opponent at this moment was Nereus, who had arrived at his side unawares.
"As the current King of the Deep Sea, this Sea God Sword will serve just right to send you to your grave. Refusing to serve Imu will be the greatest mistake of your life!"
"Night Banquet: Crimson Moon."
Facing Imu's incoming attack, Nereus made no defensive move whatsoever, even actively dissolving the shield formed by Haki and letting the weapon in Imu's hand pierce straight through his body.
And the discarded defense, at this very moment, was entirely concentrated into the subsequent offensive.
The surrounding environment seemed to gradually plunge into darkness, as if the light source vanished
