"Whoosh!"
Gern turned his wrist, and Black Blade: Eight Desolations traced a cold arc in his hand before he reversed his grip and planted it in the ground beside him.
He clenched his right fist. Without any elaborate windup, he simply punched straight into the air ahead!
"CRAAACK!!!"
The air before him was like an enormous pane of glass, instantly covered in spiderwebs of pale cracks by his punch!
The cracks spread rapidly, and a violent vibrational shockwave swept forward in a fan, pulverizing every rock and patch of earth in its path!
The purest power of vibration, clearing and suppressing an entire area!
Faced with the overwhelming Air Quake, Nusjuro's eyes flashed fiercely, but he chose not to take it head-on.
After all, he knew very well how troublesome Gern's ability was!
And so...
"Clop! Clop! Clop! Clop!!!"
The skeletal horse body's four hooves thrust hard against the ground, black flames and lightning erupting beneath them at once!
The terrifying explosive power and speed granted by his Zoan awakening were fully unleashed at that moment.
Nusjuro vanished from his spot in an instant, leaving only an afterimage and a deep crater in the shattered ground.
In the blink of an eye, he used the astonishing speed of his centaur form to circle around the Air Quake's frontal assault
and appeared above and behind Gern as though he had teleported!
First Generation Kitetsu was already poised in his hand, and now he fiercely drew it in a textbook quick-draw slash!
Pitch-black Haki lightning and orange-red flames that seemed to come from the lava of hell writhed wildly around the blade, intertwining!
"Divine Corpse Slash: Hellfire Severance!"
Nusjuro growled, and his cursed blade tore through the sky, unleashing an enormous crescent slash wreathed in two-colored energy
that descended upon Gern's back
