SSS Awakening: Starting With Infinite Soul Copy
Chapter 278: The Umbrawyric Queen Vs The Umbrawyric King (I)
CLASP!
BOOOM!
A muffled explosion rang out as a pitch-black hand clasped around a crimson claw, space quivering repeatedly at the point of contact.
"I Don’t Need Your Pity!"
The growl slammed into White’s face, who had a singular vein running across his forehead down to the bridge of his nose.
A vein of burning anger, yet his words came out calm and composed.
"That’s a pity, really, because the last time I remember, you were the one who took that from me..."
VROOOOOOOOOOOM!
KAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The air compressed insanely as two pitch-black arms clenched into fists and punched from the side, connecting straight to the Umbrawyric Queen’s ribs and blowing her away.
Yet at the last second...
SHRIIIRRRRRRNG!
The sound of something being cut rang out as the throne room wall collapsed.
White turned to look at his arm, and there he noticed that two of his arms, the ones he had used to punch, currently had a total of three incredibly sharp gashes torn into them.
There was no blood, just darkness if someone stared into the cracks, and in the next second, the tiny blue dots floating around randomly within his arms suddenly aligned at the points of the wounds.
In the span of a blink, the gashes disappeared.
Hovering outside the collapsed wall of the throne room, he found himself at the highest point in the sky, and surrounding him on all sides were Umbrawyrs, the shortest of them standing at ten meters.
They covered everywhere his eyes could see, radiating terrifying auras, but what impressed White was how quickly they had gathered together.
And what he found even more impressive than that was the light in their eyes.
A light that signaled they’d do anything to stop him from harming their queen, even if it cost them their own lives.
"Your loyalty is impressive."
White said to them, his eyes locking into the distance where the Umbrawyric Queen stood upon a castle, a massive crimson scythe in her hands.
She looked from afar, unmoving but her intent was clear to White.
She planned to have Umbrawyrs overwhelm him, use that to learn of his new power, then find an opening to deal him a critical strike.
"Unfortunately, you’ve chosen the wrong side."
He said to them, and in the next moment,
"Attack!"
The melodic voice echoed out, and instantly they pounced toward White from all directions.
Yet before any of them could take a second step,
"SNAP!"
The clear sound of fingers snapping echoed out, and Nythera’s eyes widened in shock as she watched every single Umbrawyr that raced toward White suddenly gain a distance of 10,000 meters from him in an instant, almost disappearing from view.
They weren’t flung away, nor was any building destroyed.
They were simply sent far away from this place.

GLITCH!
White glitched once more, and in the next moment, a shadow quietly loomed behind Nythera.
"You planned to kill me off, after all the pain you forced me through..."
The whisper rang in her ears, followed by colder words.
"I won’t forgive that..."
SHRRRIRIIIIIIIING!
The grating sound that seemed mixed with wailing screams echoed out as Nythera swung her crimson scythe with devastating speed.
It was so fast that even the most powerful Umbrawyrs locked onto the distance could not see her swing.
So fast that even White himself could not follow the blade with his eyes, let alone react fast enough to dodge it.
And that was why he didn’t bother.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
SPLLAAATTTEERRRR!
The scythe landed right on White’s shoulder, tearing a diagonal line straight through him, blue blood spurting into the air only to be stopped by White’s waist bone.
Nythera shifted her hands back, preparing to rip out the scythe and cleave his entire body into gore.
But her entire movement only happened in her head.
While she had swung for White’s neck, only for it to miss and land on his shoulder instead, he had also reached for both side of her head...and he didn’t miss.
Her head was forcefully jerked forward, and all she saw was about five tiny black dots appearing before the forehead swinging down toward her own.
Then,
KAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
An explosion that should have been impossible for a normal headbutt erupted as White smashed his forehead against hers.
The entire castle they stood upon was reduced to rubble as she was driven into the ground, lava bursting into the air from the force.

[Effect, Ruin Detonation: Black Suns may be detonated, releasing catastrophic destruction, has been used.]
GLITCH!
Once more he glitched, flashing down into the abyssal crater just to be faced with a total of twenty-seven massive scythe arcs cleaving straight toward him.
White paused, then took a single step to the side.
Yet his body glitched into a different position a total of twenty-seven times as he dodged every blade attack, then raised his hands above his head, and slam both palms together.
CLASSSP!
Both of White’s palms pressed tightly against the scythe blade that cleaved straight down, intent on splitting his face in two.
"ROOOOOAAAAAAR!"
A terrifying devilish roar burst from Nythera’s lips as her scythe’s weight seemed to multiply a thousandfold, pushing White down into the abyss.
In return, White used two more hands to clasp the blade.
Still, it it wasn’t enough.
He was violently blasted through the golden molten lava, and his last two arms moved, clamping onto the blade.
Only then did his motion finally come to a pause, but then,
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A knee smashed directly into his face, blue blood spurting from his nose before a kick smashed into his ribs, sending him blasting open a hole through the abyss.
Swinging her scythe back, Nythera took a step forward to follow up with a devastating strike.
But then she paused, noticing that there was something strange about her weapon.
Turning to it, the sight made her freeze in shock, and she snapped her head toward the dark hole where White could be seen pushing himself out from.
"Missing Something?"
"You Bastard!"
