"so……"
Swish—
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sharp claw, gleaming with a cold light, shot out.
Thanatos transformed into a black afterimage and swiftly appeared in front of Erica.
Its sharp claws gripped Erica's neck tightly, lifting her off the ground.
Intense pain instantly filled Erica's neck, making her feel suffocated.
But for some reason, her body remained motionless, and she couldn't even struggle.
Because her soul was controlled.
"That's right, that's my ability."
Control the soul.
Otherwise, there will always be some stubborn souls in the world who are already dead but refuse to leave.
If Thanatos had used this ability when facing Erica, Erica would definitely not have been a match for it.
But the problem is...
At that time, Erica's body contained two souls.
The other soul, Thanatos could not control.
This means that Thanatos's most powerful abilities are nullified when used on Erica.
But things are different now; the soul of that powerful human is gone.
"You are destined to lose to me."
Thanatos's words were filled with cold confidence.
However, suddenly, Erica seemed to have regained control of her body.
His body trembled slightly, as if he were struggling.
Before Thanatos could react, Erica had already reached out and grabbed Thanatos's arm tightly.
Thanatos was stunned by this sudden counterattack.
But the next moment, its illusory arm was severed.
With her sharp claws no longer strong, Erica seized the opportunity to lean back and kick Thanatos hard with both legs.
She did a somersault and landed lightly back on the ground.
She moved to a safe location.
His right hand gripped a jet-black, blood-red scythe, while his left hand held Thanatos's severed arm.
"It seems that I am not necessarily doomed to defeat."
Erica's melodious voice rang out, clearly reaching Thanatos's ears.
It slowly lowered its head, squinting at its severed arm.
Although for its ghostly form, reattaching its arm is a minor matter.
but……
Did he underestimate his opponent again?
Seeing the other party so easily escape its control and even inflict damage on it.
But it knows.
It did not underestimate its opponent; rather, the opponent had become stronger.
“You have shown me your indomitable spirit.”
"Now you possess the true ability to pass the trial."
He slowly raised the tattered black cloak, revealing the illusory arm.
It extended its five fingers, slightly open.
Erica's right hand, holding a black scythe, suddenly trembled, as if it had sensed some kind of summons.
Feeling the vibration of the scythe in her hand, Erica's eyes flashed with understanding, and she calmly relaxed her grip.
The scythe drew a dazzling line in the air before finally flying steadily back into Thanatos's palm.
Thanatos lowered his head with satisfaction, examining the familiar scythe in his hand.
After confirming that the sickle was still incredibly sharp, he waved his hand and hid it behind his back again.
The illusory head slightly raised, its sinister eyes fixed intently on Erica.
"This time, I will win."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black cloak suddenly came undone and floated lightly to the ground.
At the same time, Thanatos's dark and ethereal body was completely exposed to Erica.
Erica wanted to resist, but when she saw Thanatos's true appearance, she couldn't help but feel a chill.
Because the body hidden beneath the cloak was a chaotic mass of swirling, boiling, and churning ghostly dust.
She could clearly see that the other party's body was filled with tens of thousands of hideous ghosts.
They gathered together and went absolutely crazy.
Thanatos's body continued to swell, like an inflated ball, until it suddenly burst.
call--
The dead souls let out maniacal and rampant laughter as they wandered through the void.
A huge vortex formed, drawing Erica into it.
"Hehehe..."
As the hollow voice rang out, Erica looked up.
The scene before her eyes left her stunned.
What came into her view was Thanatos's face, magnified many times over.
A bizarre smile that stretched to his ears distorted the air.
This frenzied and distorted appearance cast a shadow of fear over Erica's heart.
That chaotic yet ethereal voice rang out again, as if mocking Erica's powerlessness and fragility:
"And your soul will remain to burn in hell."
Thanatos, the Grim Reaper
