Is it going to end...
Watching the flowers on the other side bloom like a blood-colored carpet, covering every inch of the temple yard in an instant, like the never-ending fire of Naraku burning in the scorched earth of hell, guarding the horse-headed ghost in the center, I experienced it personally. Gu Mo felt the shock of facing the powerful Lord of Eternal Darkness at close range, and this thought flashed through his mind.
This is the last part of the Thirteen Sakura Village scene. As long as this horse-headed ghost is eradicated, the Novice Village in the first act of the game will be cleared.
So... I should be able to go back, right?
He held his breath subconsciously and watched as the black-haired girl quickly swung her sword to meet him. The horse-headed monster, which was comparable to the minotaur before and was as big as a hill, also hissed and waved the same sword. The serrated sword, which was comparable to the hammer and iron of the Minotaur, swept over fiercely.
There’s nothing fancy about it, it’s just that the attack range is extremely large and the power is extremely fierce——
Although it is not a forty-meter sword, the total length of the serrated sword is at least more than ten meters, which adds up to the height of four or five floors.
Such a serrated broadsword, when held and wielded by a monster of the size of the horse-headed ghost, its sweeping attack is simply unstoppable and can sweep away thousands of armies! Even Hidechiyo doesn't want to be hit head-on, because it must be extremely painful...
Gu Mo, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. The strong wind that hit him was like a knife, cutting his face with pain. Even though he was standing so far away and not getting close at all, he still felt that the serrated knife was coming. It was as if he was sweeping past me, wiping the tip of his nose!
If he had been further forward, his body would have been cut off at the waist if not for the pressure of the air flow!
Amidst the howling wind, he squinted his eyes and vaguely saw the beautiful black hair flying in the strong wind. The girl's figure was as agile as a flying swallow. The horse-headed ghost's sweeping attack not only missed her, but also When it happened to be swept by, she had already jumped up.
While avoiding this powerful and heavy slash, which was powerful enough to crack mountains and crack monuments, he also tapped his toes on the serrated broadsword sweeping across below——
Then he used the strength to leap high, spin and leap, gracefully and fatally draw an arc from the top of the horse-headed ghost's head, and finally landed behind the demon ghost, gently bending his knees to relieve his strength, half-kneeling as if he had no weight. On the ground, the sword held in his palm has been sheathed.
Immediately afterwards, as if there was a delay in the picture, a shining and confusing full moon-shaped arc burst out above the horse-headed ghost's forehead. The trajectory of the slash cut through the air, shattered and intertwined... After a short period of time, the picture was frozen. The pair of ghost horns soaring into the sky from the ghost forehead lock suddenly shattered in the chaotic slashing line!
Like the golden yellow of rice ears, a large amount of high-density essence just emerged from the broken ghost horns, and was immediately blown away by the strong wind.
With a wailing sound, the ferocious and resentful Horse-headed Ghost's hooves softened, and his whole body fell to the ground as heavy as a mountain, with dust flying under the heavy impact.
The bloody light in its crimson eyes was no longer blazing, but dimmed instantly. The serrated sword in its hand was unable to be held, and it fell heavily to the ground, causing the ground around it to shake slightly.
The process is exactly the same, it can be said that there is nothing new——
But it is precisely because of this that we can see how profound the basic skills the girl has developed when killing these monsters. Even when facing the Lord of Eternal Darkness who ordinary people cannot compete with, she can still make the battle obvious. The taste of streamlined operations.
Gu Mo was slightly amazed in his heart. This crisp and clean fighting style was full of resoluteness. Although it was not the first time he saw it, it still dazzled him.
It is different from the perception of killing ape ghosts and demon ghosts with one sword. Although the scenes look very powerful, it is completely different from the huge monsters such as minotaurs and horse-headed ghosts, which are killed by tiny people in the same way. The shock and impact it brings when one blow kills instantly.
But at the same time as he marveled, in the almost dark world of black and white, a purple light burst out that was not bright and dazzling, but was definitely obvious enough!
Countless phantom-like purple flying blades soared into the sky, like fish schools in the sea swimming rapidly in a dense and huge formation. The mighty, sudden turn in mid-air, countless phantom flying blades rained down. Fall, and in an instant, the earth shakes and the mountains collapse, causing landslides!
Smoke and dust rose everywhere, filling the surroundings and obscuring the view.
Gu Mo subconsciously took a few steps back, reaching out to shield his face from the wind pressure and the dust brought up, but he still felt that sand almost got into his eyes and he couldn't open his eyes.
When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, what came into view was a tragic scene. The entire temple courtyard was covered with blood. The huge corpse of the horse-headed ghost was covered in phantoms with purple and ethereal lights. The blade penetrated into a sieve and was completely nailed to the ground, no longer making any sound.
The ground was covered with desolation and corpses were riddled with holes. In the ferocious and shocking blood-colored cave, a surging fountain of hot demon blood splashed out, dyeing the ground of the surrounding courtyard with a strange red color. !
At first glance, the ocean is as scarlet as blood...
With the death of the horse-headed ghost, the dark world also faded away, but the terrifying blood color replaced the blooming and falling flowers of the other shore flower, and under some kind of terrifying pressure, cold sweat broke out on Gu Mo's forehead. , he felt a heavier pressure than Chang An just now.
It's like people are facing the top predator. The pressure from the top of the food chain makes the soul tremble. It has nothing to do with courage and will, but simply because the world is like this - just like a piece of ice will only It evaporates and melts under high temperature, and the result will not be any different because the ice cube is "strong-willed" and "courageous".
My chest feels tight and I can't breathe. I know exactly what is going on in my mind, and my rationality tells me not to be afraid. However, the nerve cells are constantly producing the emotion of fear under the combined action of instinct and hormones... …
Gu Mo panted slightly, his eyes tightly locked on that strange and beautiful figure.
Suspended in mid-air, the toes are about half a meter away from the ground. Her long silver hair is scattered casually, but there is a sense of elegance and nobility in the mess. Her delicate golden horns shine with the full light of the golden full moon. , the traces of purple illusory streams of light are like flying fireflies...
——Monsterization...
——Fantasy form...
Gu Mo instantly recognized what it was, and felt terrified at the same time. Axiu still seemed like a monster in the plot. As for whether it was because of the inertia of the plot or what, he really didn't know.
Because there is actually very little information given in the game, and the time span of the plot is also very large, there may be only a few years between the two missions. Therefore, many questions have not been explained, at least he has not been able to fully understand them, so he cannot understand what is going on now.
Why is it still a monster? It seemed that he had not been injured from the beginning to the end, and when he dealt with the horse-headed ghost, he was just as neat as he had dealt with the minotaur before.
Gu Mo's mind was in a mess. He had many guesses, but he couldn't be sure. And at this moment, he subconsciously did not dare to make any move.
Because, in a quiet atmosphere as if the air had solidified, the monster-like figure cast a cold gaze at him. Purple monster lines appeared on her cheeks at some point, and there were also two horns spreading from her head. The cuticle underneath covers the right half of the face like a natural mask.
Noble, mysterious...
You can vaguely see the outline of the black-haired girl's face before, but it's not completely unrecognizable.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.
A few breaths passed like this, but nothing happened. Gu Mo stared at the weird and beautiful figure, frantically forcing himself to calm down. He found that the girl in the monster state seemed to be trying her best to suppress What--
Although it was suspended motionless in mid-air and stopped moving after killing the horse-headed ghost, its body was still trembling slightly.
violent……
confusion……
The restless violent instincts and the kind-hearted rationality are fighting each other in the girl's body. She is trying to regain her own will, but this process is extremely difficult, and she is fighting extremely hard, and she feels that her own consciousness is violently It was swallowed up little by little in the wind and waves.
Let's go, let's go...
Stay away from here...
While you can still barely resist, escape from yourself as soon as possible...
The phantom monster tried his best to suppress the violent rage that was about to engulf him. His body was trembling but he didn't make any move. He just stared at the person at the door of the yard, praying that the other person could understand what he meant or be scared by him. Have to run far away.
She really couldn't hold on any longer and would turn into an irrational evil ghost at any time!
However--
"Hold on, Axiu, I may have a way..."
The person opposite took a deep breath, took out a piece of spiritual stone from his pocket that shone with light golden essence like an ear of rice, gritted his teeth and walked quickly towards her.
I should turn around and run now, without caring about anything, because this scene should be considered a clearance. As long as I return the same way, based on experience, I should be able to leave this scene and return to the community in the real world... I came here with all my clothes. Experience, levels, and loot.
This is a choice that allows you to maximize your benefits. You have already cleared the level. There is really no need to take risks at the end. Anyway, the girl is no longer as useful to him as before, and although she is a bit special to him, But she doesn't know herself...
He is a stranger to her, so he has no obligation to do anything...
At this moment, many, many thoughts flashed through Gu Mo's consciousness, and finally they were condensed into one sentence, which kept echoing in his heart.
All levels have been cleared... All levels have been cleared...
He told himself that he should be a little selfish at this time, and just clear the dungeon. No matter how floods come next, it won't affect him anyway, so there is no need to care so much.
But...it can't be done.
He may not be noble, but he has his own bottom line. At least now he is unwilling to become the kind of person he despises. Instead of leaving a knot in your mind that you can't get over afterwards, and regretting and questioning your heart all the time, it is better to make a clear-minded choice now.
This is the thought——
Although my heart was beating wildly, and the terrible and substantial pressure made me almost suffocate and unable to breathe... But I felt that my thoughts were completely enlightened, my heart was peaceful and peaceful, and I felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. pleasure.
He just resisted the pressure step by step, and walked over as quickly as possible under the icy gaze of the illusory monster, his face pale but without any fear.
Arriving in front of that weird and beautiful figure, Gu Mo held the palm-sized spirit stone in his hand and tentatively handed it to Hidechiyo who turned into a monster. In the plot he knew, Tokichiro used the power of the spirit stone to save Hidechiyo is about to fall into the youkai side.
Spirit stones are useful, but how should they be used?
It should be enough to get closer, right? But why is there no response?
Gu Mo was so anxious that he decisively focused on pressing the "Use" option of the spirit stone in his hand. The next moment, the spirit stone shattered, and the pure essence seeped into his skin like water in his hand, and seemed to evaporate in the air. It was just absorbed into it.
My heavy body suddenly became lighter, my physical strength recovered, and my mind felt refreshed...
It’s an immediate effect, but I don’t want this kind of effect! It’s not just for yourself, okay! ! Damn it, how can I use this thing on others? There is no interactive option for myself to choose!
He gritted his teeth tightly and tried to keep his voice calm: "Don't, don't worry, I have two more pieces here, no problem..."
The phantom monster floating off the ground in front of him lowered her head and looked down at him. Her eyes were extremely cold. The terrifying and sharp fluctuations of killing intent and bloodthirsty light were constantly changing in her eyes, but her body was shaking so much. It became more and more powerful, but it didn't make any move.
Behind this calmness, there are extremely huge waves suppressed!
The second spiritual stone was still in Gu Mo's hand, and there was nothing strange about it. This made him more and more impatient. Could it be that because of his own influence, Hidechiyo in this world is really going to become a monster? ?
After all, if it weren't for her own intrusion, Tokichiro should have arrived just in time when she had finished sweeping the Jusan Sakura Village at her own pace, eliminated the horse-headed ghost, and turned into a monster, right? But now...the monkey hasn't come yet.
Thinking of this terrible possibility, Gu Mo clenched the fist of his other hand so hard that his nails were about to bleed.
But at this moment, the suspended phantom monster suddenly fell to the ground, holding his hands on the ground as if he had lost all strength. The purple phantom light flowing on the trembling body gradually faded away, and the long silver hair that fell down once again lost its bright silver color. , and changes back to its original black color.
The black-haired girl who returned to her original appearance took a long breath and looked up at him. She just showed a weak smile of relief, and then her head tilted and she fell directly to the ground.
The spirit stone is working...?
Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, but looking at the unresponsive spirit stone in his hand, he immediately dismissed this possibility. In that case, Axiu completed this self-rescue without resorting to any external force and relying entirely on her own will?
He knelt down and lifted the girl's body up. After checking, he found that she had passed out and her breathing was still steady, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yo, I'm late -"
At this moment, a voice saying hello came from the door behind him.
A middle-aged man with a cunning look on his face appeared there, and he was shocked when he saw the tragic scene inside that was like hell, with rivers of blood. He looked intently and saw a young man over there half-kneeling on the ground, supporting an unconscious girl.
"You... are you the famous demon slayer?" The man looked a little confused and opened his mouth, "I thought he was alone. Did you guys come here overnight?"
"..."
"..."
"Yes, we came here overnight last night."
Glancing at the unconscious black-haired girl, Gu Mo was silent for a moment and twitched the corner of his mouth.
