Samsara Paradise: Shadow King

Chapter 147 Melee

The messy white hair hangs down one by one on the body, and there is a long knife mark on the left side of the face. In the hazy eternity, the pain of the huge knife blade piercing the neck has been tormenting it, so we can see from the face of the lion ape It can be seen that it was tortured by this pain and became violent.

The prototype of the lion ape is the white ape god, the man-eating monster of Mimasaku Kunikozenji Temple. Every year, the village holds a ceremony called the "Crying Festival". They sacrifice young and beautiful women to the white ape. The girl will cry until The white ape swallowed her into his stomach.

Of course, some of the prototypes of its design also have the shadow of another game "Bloodborne" by Miyazaki veteran, Lion Ape and Bloodletting Monster. It is not an exaggeration to say that the similarity between the two is 80 to 90%. Bar! The two are simultaneously ape-like beasts inhabited by giant nematodes. This appearance may be based on the horror novel "The Whispering of Angels", in which the nematodes control the host's body and allow the infected person to act according to the will of the nematodes.

It roared at Zhao Zijin, shaking the entire valley. He fell backwards along with the strong wind and fell towards the battlefield below. Unexpectedly, he gave in along with the trend, and unexpectedly escaped quietly. The four monkeys that approached him made a sneak attack.

If holding a murderous weapon, even an ape can easily take away a person's life. And if this ape has any talent that it should not have, then it will become a special existence among the monkeys and the resentment of the dead. With their animalistic intelligence, they became the cursed Yaksha apes, Naraku apes, impure apes and skinned apes that hunted humans.

They howled and chased up the mountain wall. Zhao Zijin snapped his fingers, and the whirling sharp energy that appeared out of thin air almost cut them in half. After the [Hand of Dominator] changed, [Mesak] no longer needed the blade. Only as a carrier can it be aggressive.

The apes stagnated for a moment. When they dodged and regrouped to pursue again, the Shadow Shadows had already come forward. The three Orochi Fangs who had been immersed in slaughtering the monkeys also turned their guns and aimed at them. As for them, as slaves of their respective masters, they have a deep hostility stemming from this identity.

The invisible force held up the body that was about to fall to the ground. He adjusted his posture. Several apes were controlled by Zhao Zijin in mid-air. He grabbed the blade with one hand and grabbed the tail of an ape with the other. He used the latter as a meteor hammer. Lai Shi smashed the other apes around him and then threw out the blade in his hand, directly piercing the bodies of four or five apes.

More apes followed the Lord and joined the battlefield, and among them were apes who could use matchlock guns.

"Shh!"

"Lord!"

Wei Ming walked wholeheartedly to Zhao Zijin's side to protect him, his eyes floating upward revealing a fiery fighting spirit.

The lion ape was not much slower than its subordinates. It jumped down, like a piece of the mountain wall cracking and falling downwards. This was no longer something that the shadows could stop. Tone rushed out from the shadows, every time He grew taller every time he took a step. Eventually, he turned into a huge black creature and punched another huge creature in the face.

The lion ape hit the mountain wall again, and before he could slide down from it, Tone had already jumped on it, holding the giant blade inserted into its neck, pressing down to cut it, trying to cut it off. Its head.

"Roar!"

The lion ape roared with sadness and a bit of wailing. In the substantial blood-colored sound wave, Tone's health value dropped rapidly. After feeling it carefully, there was something hidden in it that Zhao Zijin was now quite familiar with. .

"Is it a curse? In this world now, everyone with some strength has attacks with the '呪' attribute, right?"

Zhao Zijin smacked his tongue, turned his head and comforted the old man:

"Don't be impatient, old man. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to fight it later! After all, you have to complete the final fatal blow!"

"Don't make me wait too long! My lord!"

Ashina Isshin turned back and slashed three leaping apes in half.

As the saying goes, if you have too much hair, you will be weak to fire, if you are big, you will be weak, if you are heavy armor, you will be weak to thunder, and if you are fat, you will be weak to chrysanthemums. Among the shadow soldiers to deal with it, Zhao Zijin had to arrange for a Saint George to go in and emerge from the shadow under the lion ape. Afterwards, a tongue of fire shot straight into the sky like a torch of faith, instantly interrupting its roar.

Because of its roar, Tone, who was forced to retreat, pressed forward again. This time, he successfully cut off the head of the lion ape. Originally, Zhao Zijin took its weapon, so that they could also fight in the second stage. It was easier. Unexpectedly, the magic power rising from the blade made it fall out of Tone's hands, and the body of the lion ape and the fallen head were picked up again.

I saw a ferocious centipede with teeth and claws suddenly rushing out from the bloody fracture of the neck, and it was possessed by the insect! This is the seal of immortality, which makes it immortal, but it deprives the Lord of his soul and makes him a controlled puppet!

The undead insect controlled the body and raised the head in its hand. The ape's head roared again, but there was no sound. It was calling, calling for the partner who had been by its side for so many years.

There is this paragraph in the item introduction of [Fragrant Water Lily]: Because the female ape loves the fragrance of this flower, in order to dedicate it to her partner, the lion ape will take good care of this flower.

There is also such a description in the remnants of the battle with the headless lion ape: in the past, the lion ape would live in pairs in the nest, but now it has been possessed by insects, its partner has died long ago, and now even those who mourn it have The flowers have withered away.

Since it is a long-dead existence, what is the lion ape calling for?

I only heard this call penetrating through the mountains and reaching a nest. There was a huge withered skeleton of an ape above the nest. In this call, another smaller lion ape slowly condensed on top of it. It raised its head and also spoke. A growl in response to his mate.

It has long since died. It is only because the partner cannot bear the loneliness caused by immortality that it resides in its own bones and is summoned in response to the needs of the other party. In other words, it is a resentful soul that has been cursed by the partner and has been staying in the world. .

In just a moment, it rushed to its partner, trying to help the headless lion ape get rid of Tone's suppression. To a certain extent, it did it. The moment it appeared, Tone turned the spear. , rushed towards it.

The resentful lion ape wanted to dodge, but the cursed cow Mokobotemo rushed out and pushed it away. Then the red lotus Rakshasa also appeared above the valley, jumped on it, and stepped on it hard. .

"Boom!"

When the smoke cleared, the resentful lion ape who fell to the ground finally got up. What he had to face was the siege of Tone, Cursed Ox and Red Lotus Rakshasa.

On the other side, St. George raised his shield high and blocked the slash with some difficulty. The huge blade filled with magic power, and his legs that withstood the impact even squatted down. Fortunately, his assistance came at the next moment. Arrived. Ashina stepped down to the wrist of the headless lion ape, and just when he was about to unsheath the door, he recalled Zhao Zijin's instructions in his mind, and subconsciously reduced his strength. Even so, Ashina's Cross Slash was still Shocking injuries were caused to the chest of the headless lion ape.

The headless lion ape controlled by the immortal insect has a twisted and anti-joint attack method. If this weird move is used against other people, it will cause casualties in three or two unexpected strikes, but its opponent Now there is Isshin Ashina, the being known as the "Sword Master". Even though his skills are limited now, it is not a problem to deal with it, which is just a beast.

However, because of Zhao Zijin's special instructions, Ashina Yishin and St. George, who assisted him in fighting, just maintained the posture of fighting back and forth with the headless lion ape, and did not resolve the battle quickly.

"Can you bear it? As long as you win this bet, a major obstacle to your attack on Ashina will be removed. Can you bear it?"

Zhao Zijin was on the chaotic battlefield, his deep eyes scanning the surroundings of the valley through the eyepiece.

"I really can't bear it!"

Peeping at the war in the valley through the cover of the woods, the sturdy man pulled off the red gourd from his waist and poured the wine into his mouth. Some of the wine flowed down from the corner of his mouth, soaking it around his neck. The necklace made of brightly colored silk strips looks like a lion's mane.

This red gourd was a gift given to him by Lieutenant General of the Terukuni Konoe Kōemon Susumu after he obtained a high-ranking official position in the Imperial Household. It was called "Shura Shi's Gourd", and a large amount of wine was put into it. It is a material that can kill ordinary people several times, but after drinking it, those guys who can resist the poison can also get great benefits from it. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of body size, he is already bigger than when he first entered this world. It’s been a full circle.

"Brother"

The reason why he appeared here was not only because of the tasks issued by the inner government, but also because the grudge with Zhao Zijin needed to be settled.

He reached out and fumbled for the tattoo on his shoulder, where an eagle with blood-red eyes was flapping its wings and flying high.

His eyesight was excellent, and he could still distinguish the familiar figure in the chaotic battlefield. That figure was still as strong as a dragon, and his fists and fists were still vigorous and powerful, but it was no longer the same! Now, he is just a dead soul controlled by others!

And I should give my poor brother a relief!

"attack!!!"

At his order, a large number of Inner Red Guards and Gu Yingzhong came out of their hiding places and launched an attack on the battlefield below.

Looking at the fire rain falling from the sky, Zhao Zijin smiled with satisfaction and slowly disappeared into the air.

The inner government, the Snake Eyes clan, the apes, the lonely shadow rebels, and Zhao Zijin's shadow soldiers were all fighting together in the valley. It was a dark place! The blood was splashed on the ground, and it was unclear whether it was from humans or beasts. The inner man and the apes attacked everyone except themselves; the Snake Eyes clan's eyes were red, but they didn't care and just attacked people. Shots were fired in many places.

The rebel ninjas were in the most difficult situation. If it weren't for the shadow soldiers who were looking after them, they would have been wiped out long ago. However, even so, they suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, from Zhao Zijin's perspective, the entire valley was shrouded in darkness, and as more and more deaths appeared in it, the darkness became deeper and deeper.

"Bodies are lying on the shore of the giant port, blood is filling the caves of the Great Wall, no matter how high or low, they are all withered bones. This is war!"

Zhao Zijin was hidden in the center of the battlefield, in the center of the death vortex. He lay dormant, sipping blood and death, and then, when everyone was weakened by the war, he released the monster that had been nourished and strengthened by them. .

First of all, the rotten palm immortal who had been seriously injured before. Even though his limbs were repaired with magic tools, and his poison skills were improved through contact with the scarlet narcissus, the near-death injuries would not disappear out of thin air. They would still remain This greatly affected the performance of his strength. Under the siege of dozens of Inner Red Guards, his white jade-like limbs were shattered. The traitorous ninja was also gutted and became a member of the shadow soldiers.

The next ones to die were the three Orochi Fangs. In fact, it was the four apes under the Lion Ape that were supposed to be defeated. The bad thing was that, with each blow, the Orochi Fangs expanded their attack range to include the Shadow Guys. They thought they could take advantage of long-range weapons to wipe out both sides.

They underestimated Zhao Zijin's shadow soldiers. They thought they were in control of the battle. However, they were eager for quick success and did not think carefully. There were more shadow soldiers than both of them combined. Why did they need their help to fight against the four apes? Are we drawing?

Then, after the serpent's fang, Zhao Zijin had the four apes in his bag. The other three apes were okay, but the skinned ape among them was really a big surprise!

Then there are the new units that have appeared in the inner government. They are the power of conjurers cultivated by the inner government, called "Ghost Bites". If they were not transformed into shadow soldiers, Zhao Zijin checked his panel, hidden among the ordinary red soldiers. It is extremely difficult to distinguish them among them. If you are not careful, you may be tricked!
