Caught off guard, Thanatos completely parried Zicomo's charged attack.

He was sent flying backward and crashed into the old Gaunt house behind him.

Dust billowed up in the old Gaunt house, obscuring the view inside.

Zicomo waved his hand, creating a gust of wind that dispersed the dust from the old Gaunt house.

He had wanted to complain about it before; it was one thing for Voldemort to have hundreds of people living in a house that was neither too big nor too small.

Not a single person thought to clean up the surrounding area!

It made his OCD flare up.

The dust settled, and there was no sign of life in the old house.

Zicomo shouted inside, "Alright, get out here right now. I know you're not hurt at all."

"Are you planning to sneak up on me when I get close? I suggest you save your breath."

He had no desire to go to the old Gaunt house, which was so filthy.

Thanatos, having failed to deceive Zicomo, emerged from the old Gaunt house.

He patted the dust off his body, which still had some ice shards mixed in.

Thanatos said disdainfully, "I really don't know what you're thinking, using the power of death to attack me, the god of death."

"Although your power of death is somewhat special, it is still too immature to think it can harm me."

Zicomo waved his hand and said, "We have to try it to know if it works."

"Since the power of death is useless, how about we try this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zicomo appeared behind Thanatos in a flash.

The crimson power of corruption surged from the Darkmoon Greatsword in his hand, and he swung it at Thanatos once more.

This time Thanatos was prepared, not only using his scythe to block Zikomo's attack, but also using the power of death to build a barrier.

Prevent Zikomo's energy attacks.

However, Thanatos once again misjudged Zicomo's attack methods.

Zicomo's crimson corrupting power spread from the point of contact between the Darkmoon Greatsword and the scythe towards the scythe.

Finally, he climbed onto Thanatos.

Thanatos felt the body's power rapidly draining away.

This is the crimson corruption drawing upon His power to grow.

Moments later, one scarlet flower after another bloomed on Thanatos, looking beautiful and alluring.

Seeing this, Thanatos had no choice but to widen the energy channels he had created within Voldemort's body.

This allows it to absorb a more concentrated power of death.

He then used the power of death to kill the crimson flower of corruption on his body.

Zicomo raised an eyebrow. This operation, which cuts off the power of crimson corruption at its source, already vaguely resembles a conceptual ability.

Thanatos's actions just now were tantamount to imbuing the power of Crimson Corruption with the concept of death.

It erased the 'life' of crimson decay from the whole.

So the crimson putrefaction did not continue to spread because it was already 'dead'.

It seems that these gods in the warp are quite capable; at least Zikomo cannot do that yet.

However, Zicomo did not find it troublesome.

Not to mention that Thanatos was merely possessing Voldemort's body and his true form never appeared.

Thanatos's combat skills, which had become rusty due to spending an unknown amount of time in the underworld, were not worth Zicomo's attention.

At most, I'll just be more cautious when fighting Thanatos.

Through two close encounters with Thanatos, Zicomo had already figured it out.

Thanatos's combat experience can only be described as rudimentary.

However, Thanatos was unaware of this at the time.

He was still basking in the satisfaction of having easily thwarted Zikomo's offensive.

Having dealt with the power of crimson corruption, Thanatos swung his scythe, now imbued with even greater death power, at Zikomo.

Zicomo raised his Darkmoon Greatsword to parry.

While the two weapons were locked in a stalemate, Thanatos infused the scythe in his hand with even more death power.

Under His manipulation, the blade of the scythe grew longer and stabbed towards Zicomo.

Zicomo noticed Thanatos's actions, forcefully pushed aside His scythe, and used Apparition to retreat to the rear.

Thanatos scoffed, "How does this move compare to the two-stage attack you learned?"

Zicomo almost laughed at Thanatos's words.

Zicomo didn't know whether to call him naive or stupid for using the tricks he learned from him against himself.

However, Zicomo did not remind Thanatos, and it was fine for Him to remain in this daze.

This would make dealing with Thanatos easier for him.

Chapter 311 All's fair in war, Thanatos's idiotic actions

Zicomo laughed, "Not so good. How about trying my Flame Storm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zikomo suddenly appeared in front of Thanatos and stabbed him in the abdomen.

This time, Zicomo did not use Apparition to move, but rather a combat technique called 'Hound Step'.

Zicomo had already mastered the combat technique that was originally attached to his purple yew wand, thanks to his superior physical abilities.

He can now perform this combat technique without the aid of the yew wand.

The effect of 'Hound Step' looks like a short-range teleport.

But it's actually a combat technique that uses rapid movement to achieve what looks like a teleportation effect.

Without any spatial fluctuations, Thanatos was unable to react to Zikomo's attack.

Zicomo's sword pierced Thanatos' abdomen.

(Voldemort: That's my body, for crying out loud!)

Moreover, Zicomo's Darkmoon Greatsword is imbued with the power of Crimson Corruption.

Crimson flowers bloomed unexpectedly within Thanatos's body.

(Voldemort: I'll say it again, that's my body!)

Thanatos transformed into a wisp of black mist and escaped from Zikomo's sword.

He stood firm not far away.

While removing the crimson decay from his body, he angrily cursed at Zicomo: "Despicable mortal! What you call a Blazing Storm?! How dare you deceive me!"

Zicomo laughed and said, "I'm teaching you. Remember this, this tactic is called 'all's fair in war'."

"Here comes another one, the next move is still Flame Storm!"

Thanatos snorted and said, "Hmph! Don't try to fool me again. I won't fall for your tricks this time."

Having said that, He built a protective barrier around Him to prevent Zikomo from getting any closer.

However, Thanatos was unaware that this was exactly what Zicomo wanted.

Zicomo mobilized the fire power within his body.

The phoenix's rebirth fire, the golden crow's sun flames, and the fierce fire that is said to be able to burn everything—the three flames converged before Zikomo.

A massive tornado, formed from converging flames, quickly took shape.

It then swept towards Thanatos.

Thanatos had by then completed its defenses.

To prevent Zikomo from suddenly appearing beside him again, He even used methods to freeze the surrounding space.

This means that Thanatos himself cannot easily leave his original location by teleporting.

Thus He became a huge, fixed target.

The fiery storm crashed straight into Thanatos, only pausing for a moment because of Thanatos's spatial stasis before engulfing him.

Zicomo didn't care whether Thanatos could hear him or not.

He said into the storm, "I told you it was going to be another blazing storm, why wouldn't you believe me?"

Inside the blazing storm, despite the surrounding roar of flames and wind, Thanatos still heard Zikomo's words.

He was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, He doesn't have time to deal with Zicomo right now; He's busy trying to defuse the storm.
