A silent growl escaped the lips of the hovering Knull Wanderers as they looked at the seemingly half-eaten body buried into the ground.
They looked at each other, crimson runes appearing on their foreheads before they slowly rose out of the abyss, leaving Ryuk. But then...
"Do you not understand?"
The words echoed behind them as they all instantly turned their heads back down, finding Ryuk's battered figure slowly raising his neck.
His cracked face revealed a grin that had never left since the beginning.
"I said, hit me with your best SHOT!" Ryuk's low growl sounded out as the Knull took their gaze away from him, turning to look upwards, where they found some body parts rapidly soaring forward with incredible speed.
In the next instant, one of them reacted instinctively, as Vekrul hands reached out once more.
An incredible amount of decay rippled out from his body. In an instant, the body parts they were intent on catching up to Ryuk decayed into nothing but ashes.
Then, the Knull Wanderers turned their gaze back to Ryuk, but all they saw was a figure slowly rising to his feet.
Vortex of Nanobots and blood concentrated around his sliced figure.
In silence, they watched as Ryuk's arms soon regenerated, the same for his legs and the hole in his heart.
Even though it took long to describe, Ryuk's entire body had already healed up in exactly five seconds, returning to its original state.
"So, you—the big and muscular one—are called Vekrul."
"You reduce everything you touch to ashes by rapidly decaying their body into nothing. You control an Abyssal energy mixed with the power of rot and decay."
"An interesting ability..." Ryuk mused out loud, his hand placed under his chin in deep thought.
"And you—the smallest one—are called Xyphos."
"You seem to be one with the Void, able to teleport almost instantaneously, and your wings are the second sharpest blades I have ever seen, able to reduce anything to sliced bits."
"And you, Serik, have your extra-long hands that can elongate even more within half the fraction of a split second."
"Your claws have some sort of explosive ability or something… That explains why my chest not only got ripped apart but also exploded into nothing..." Ryuk mused before he cracked his neck bones and shoulders, the clear sound of cracking bones ringing out like lightning.
"Well then. Let's get down to it!" he said.
Serik and Xyphos instantly slipped into the void, and then—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The air at his side exploded as they slid out from the void.
A claw blasted out from Ryuk's side, none other than from Serik's sharp fingers.
From the other side, a wing pierced out like a sword towards Ryuk's ribs.
But this time, Ryuk decided to make his move...
"Activate Frozen Physique..."
In the next instant, ripples surged through Ryuk's entire body as his skin rapidly became translucent. Then—
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
The sound of two more arms bursting out from beneath Ryuk's shoulders rang out as his arms instantly slammed outward toward the approaching attack.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A dull sound resonated through the abyss, further widening it as Ryuk's clawed hand locked firmly with the claw coming for his left side.
His other hand grabbed the wing sword heading for him, stopping it in place.
In an instant, he had locked down both attacks.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The air before Ryuk exploded into nothing as a rot-covered hand emerged out from the void in front of his face, heading straight toward his face.
But then, Ryuk called out:
"Activate Void Vortex..."
In the next instant, a void opened up right in front of his face as the rotten hand heading for him entered into the vortex instead.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The Knull with the blade wings was suddenly sent flying off into the distance as a void materialized by the side of its face.
From within, a dark hand emerged, smashing into its head and sending it flying into the distance.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Vekrul's chest caved in as Ryuk kicked out toward him with lightning-fast speed.
Yet, it reacted incredibly fast managing to cross both of his arms, barely blocking the attack, although he was instantly sent flying into the distance.
Now, left was Serik, whose claws Ryuk still had in his grasp.
"Tell me, that unblinking eye on your head… It can't be for decoration, can it?" Ryuk asked as his claw slashed forward toward Serik's head with incredulous speed and power.
The space before Ryuk was instantly sliced apart into nothing from the sharpness of his claws, inching closer and closer to Serik's head, seemingly promising to rip it into nothing.
A bright light suddenly covered the entire air, blasting onto Ryuk's face as his body suddenly slowed massively, even though his sensory acuity remained at full speed.
Helplessly, he watched as Serik dodged his head to the ground, his claw barely missing, and then—
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
Serik's own claw blasted outward toward Ryuk's heart with immense speed.
The air on its path slashed into nothing, but then—
The floor beneath Ryuk crumbled into nothing as the claw ripped through his heart.
Yet, it passed through nothing but an afterimage.
Ryuk appeared behind Serik's back and then—
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
His two hands tore forward toward its chest with speed.
Instantly, they ripped through the decayed bones and body, slicing through the spines like nothing before tearing out from its chest.
Ryuk felt the dark blood rain down his hands, surprisingly dissolving into nothing as Serik shot away from him.
He watched as his own hands continued rotting before ice daggers materialized in his other arms.
With a clean motion, he sliced apart the remaining damaged arms, cutting away the rotting parts.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
The air before the severed arms shook, and instantly, two new pairs of arms burst out from beneath Ryuk as he slowly turned his gaze above him.
There, he sighted the three Knulls floating in the air.
"Scared?" he asked tauntingly.
Instantly, the Knulls shot forward toward him with blinding speed.
But to that, Ryuk slowly spread all four arms apart before he suddenly clenched all four at once—
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
