Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 402: Break the situation with force, how can salvation depend on the enemy's "mercy"?
"Your companions, those female humans, they are still in my hands!!"

The octopus let out a sharp scream and broke free from Alan's hand. It jumped to the ground and rolled among the corpses in front of it while running. The two eyeballs in the corpse were then taken back by it and squeezed into the body amidst the tentacles.

With a "pop" sound, it squeezed out of the body again. The three eyes returned to their previous state, and the body seemed to have become larger.

It is precisely because of this that the frustrated and defensive posture is even more vivid.

With a snap, the octopus jumped out of the bone prison and turned to look in the direction Alan came from.

The coral stone buildings along the way seemed to have been swept by a violent tornado. The rubble and corpses of marine fish were scattered all over the ground, and the blood almost dyed the white bones red.

From the 'end point' where Allen was standing to the 'starting point' at the edge of the town of Layele, a bloody 'track' five meters wide and several hundred meters long was left by the bloody wind and rain.

Alan, who was using all his strength to perform the practical Water God Style technique, crashed head-on into the "drill" of the cone formation!
Another round of attack.

Crush more than a hundred sea clan soldiers.

If Cole hadn't screamed "Back off! Don't come!" not long after being dragged by Allen, the width would have to be expanded several times at least.

Of course, as soon as the latter finished speaking, Allen grabbed him and slapped the round-headed, black-bodied "heavy cavalry" that was approaching into a pile of minced meat.

This is the fundamental reason why Cole was seriously injured.

As for losses
Including those outside the town, the number of soldiers who died on the spot reached two hundred.

How much? Not much, it seems.

But you have to know that the total number of soldiers in the entire Layele is only more than 8,000, including many logistics, discipline, and sentry personnel.

The real combat power is only 3,000
What's more, the sea clan soldiers who are responsible for guarding Layele are the absolute "elite" in the "Abyssal Sea".

"What do you mean by watching all the way?! When have I watched all the way? One charge after another! I didn't even have time to react, how could you expect me to react? You did it on purpose! Alan!! You did it on purpose!! My people! My soldiers! The foundation of Layele's survival!
Ai! Lun!!! You did it on purpose!!!"

The octopus spoke in an awkward ancient human language, and was furious like a noble lord whose foot had been stepped on.

Alan just looked at Octopus expressionlessly, "Octopus, I could have chosen to kill all your soldiers. You should thank me."

"I should thank you?! I should thank you!!!"

Alan grabbed the octopus from the ground, and the octopus's ferocious face seemed to explode when Alan grabbed it.

At this time, the guards in the Lower Skull Prison suddenly jumped out one by one to attack Allen. The octopus had just died, and everyone knew that there was still a split body that could continue to "grow".

But this time, the octopus was blown into a ball of meat by Allen again, and the octopus's body - the three eyeballs - could only start to grow in size.

But he was stopped by Cole, who was healing rapidly and looking listless.

"Don't stir up conflicts anymore." She took a deep look at the sea fish that were killed on the way here. The expression of regret in her eyes was clearly visible, but she sorted out her emotions in an instant, turned her head to look at Allen, and the black scales on her body were retracted into her body with a swish.

"Alan, we shouldn't have lied to you. The price! This is already the price! We paid the price, and then we ask you to help us. Your companions are safe and sound. We."

"Shut up!" The octopus opened a mouth on the side of its body, without translating Cole's words at all. Its three eyeballs turned inside its body and squeezed out from the gap in Allen's palm.

"Yuanhai! The Sea Fish Clan has the final say! I can forgive your reckless behavior, but you must obey our orders. As long as you take back Arkham, I will send your companions back to you safely. From then on, we will send people out to summon Leviathan, and you return to your human world, and we will owe each other nothing."

Alan raised his brows.

"Nothing is owed to each other? Did you make a mistake? I want to go to Arkham. I want to see Laplace. I will also return to the mainland. But, what does this have to do with you?"

"you!!"

Why did Alan remain calm after waking up and realizing that he could not return to the mainland quickly, and that Roxy and the others had disappeared?

Because under Octopus and Cole's plan to drive the wolf and the tiger away, Lokisi and the others can only be hostages, which is a means of threatening themselves.

Being held hostage is not a stumbling block that hinders one's goals, but rather a stepping stone that helps one achieve them sooner!
It is not a setback, but an opportunity!

So Allen showed strong enough from the beginning.

——To ensure the safety of several people's lives and take the initiative, one never relies on one's own 'cleverness', but on one's own 'strength'.

Only if you perform strong enough, you are worthy of becoming a wolf.

Only if you appear strong enough can you make the octopus afraid to act rashly.

Only if we perform strongly enough will we have a chance to turn the situation around.

He was going to Arkham, but his purpose was not at all as the octopus said, to open a hole in Leviathan's belly leading to the real ocean, let the mermaids return to the surface of the sea, and summon Leviathan to "help" him return to the human world.

He was going to see Laplace.

Since the information obtained has already determined that the essence of "Leviathan" is that Laplace used Leviathan's corpse to create a creature similar to an aerial fortress, for Allen now, he can make a "Didi Express" through negotiations with Laplace.

For Allen, 'Leviathan' is first and foremost a means of transportation that can solve the current predicament.

Alan didn't know how fast Leviathan was swimming on the seabed, but he thought it wouldn't be much slower than the Ankylosaur King's aerial fortress.

As long as he meets Laplace and negotiates with him, asking him to make a gap in the sky, he can use the positioning system to retrieve the location of Senis and others, and then use Leviathan to send himself to the sea area closest to Senis's location.

By getting out of that position, he could reach where Senis and the others were as quickly as possible.

And it is much faster than returning to the sea by yourself, taking a boat or a carriage.

The most important thing is that this is almost no substantial loss for Laplace, so it is completely negotiable.

So now the question is.

How to go from being a prisoner to becoming the absolute ruler of R'lyeh, regardless of any so-called sacrifices, and integrate resources in the most efficient way to get to Arkham and meet Laplace as quickly as possible.

The octopus wants to control himself, but don’t he also want to control the octopus and control all the resources of this important border town of "Abyssal Sea"?
Information about the capital of Arkham: The strength of the rebels, the location and use of the magic transfer circle, and how to negotiate with Laplace with the resources he currently has after meeting him.

Then achieve your goal.

This is not a plan that can be easily accomplished by just killing your way through.

What's more, his magic power and fighting spirit are non-renewable resources under the sky canopy made of magic-absorbing stones.

Of course, before that.

——The first step to implement the plan is to determine where Luo Qixi and the others are, and then rescue them.

This is my only weakness at the moment.

The thought flashed through his mind, and in Alan's eyes, the octopus's face looked extremely hideous.

He roared, "You are too arrogant, Alan! Your companion is in my hands! You are under my control! You are under my control! Why do you ignore my words? Don't you care about the lives of your companions?!"

Yes, that's it, octopus.

You are anxious, helpless, angry and terrified, when your plans are suddenly disrupted and your dignity is challenged by a human being.

Tell me, your biggest trump card is also the information about the hostages that I care about the most but deliberately keep silent about.

Play your biggest trump card fully.

Don't cover up anything.

such
Only I can completely break through
Octopus, tell me, your first clone
Where is the clone that held Roxy and the others hostage?!
"Boom!!!"

A shrill scream vibrated out from the body of the octopus as Allen gradually tightened his grip, and as if in response to the scream, an exactly identical scream came from the distance on the left.

Alan turned his head sharply to look at the source of the sound.

In an instant, the sensory flow fed back all the environmental information that the five senses could grasp to Allen's senses.

At a 59° bearing on the left and a 63° altitude looking up, the straight-line distance is 1400 meters, and it is above the red coral reef watchtower that is more than 300 meters high.

Roxy, Melna, and Climb were tied together by a long rope of dark blue seaweed.

A ferocious long knife made of coral was placed on their necks, and the end of the blade was being entangled by a tentacle.

It was a split octopus, about two meters tall, with one eye, and a hideous cracked mouth, smiling at Alan from afar.

Yes, it should be so.

The octopus has such a strong desire to show off and attaches so much importance to power that he even controls the now impoverished Emperor Rayele of Cole.

He should be keeping an eye on the hostages himself.
Especially when the other party has the ability to split.

An octopus has four eyes.

Alan and Loki looked at each other with their dark blue eyes, and the other's guilty and frightened expression was so clear in their eyes.

It was outside the range of the Sky Slash and the Sword of Light, and even if the Northern God Style Throwing Technique was used at full strength, it would take two seconds.

If you can create chaos for two seconds, it's ok, but the problem is
The violent Beishenliu throwing technique can directly penetrate the tower.

At the same time, it will also pierce Loki's body.

This is the real dilemma, and this is the octopus’s trump card.

1 seconds.

2 seconds.

3 seconds.

He turned and looked at the three-eyed octopus in front of him.

"Is it just this kind of clumsy threat?"

Breaths appeared one after another around the barrel-shaped body of Alterspus, and all of them roared.

"How can you break the deadlock with force at this distance? Kill? Kill again? Let's see who is faster, your running speed or my sword! Alan! You must be under my control. You have to take the responsibility of attacking Arkham with the 'blade tip'!"

Alan raised his right hand, placed the octopus flat in front of him, and stared straight into its eyes.

"Is this your backup plan for threatening me?"

"Look at your expression! You're still hiding your fear! Haha!!" The octopus let out a shrill laugh as loud as boiling water.

Alan looked at the octopus with curved eyes for a long while, until the other party's laughter became drier and glared at him again, then he changed the subject.

But it is something that has nothing to do with the present.

"Octopus, the 'Dead Ghost Secret Sword' comes from the Abyss Sea. You should be very clear about its abilities."

The octopus remained silent, but the three eyeballs around it kept moving.

"Threat? Are you still threatening me now? Ridiculous! Absurd! Your struggle is meaningless! So what if you defeated the "Secret Sword of the Dead Ghost"?
I remember clearly the process of your battle with Cole on the ship, as well as the traces of the battle with the "Dead Ghost Secret Sword" in the volcano.

You come from Laplace's enormous magical power, the human swordsman's Water God Style swordsmanship, and the Sword God Style's Light Katana. Oh, plus the Northern God Style technique you just displayed, Alan, you are very strong, so you are worth using!
Accept your fate! You must obey my instructions, otherwise I will kill your companions! "

After the words fell, Alan and the octopus looked at each other quietly.

The former suddenly smiled.

"Now that things have come to this..." Seeing this, the octopus opened his mouth and wanted to mock Alan, but he stopped suddenly after uttering a few words.

Because the sudden wind filled the octopus' mouth.

A spiral of turbulence arose out of nowhere and clung to the index and middle fingers of Allen's free left hand.

Circling, circling, frolicking, leaping for joy.

Along with the voice of the emperor magician, it fell into the ears of the octopus.

"I was suppressed by him throughout the battle with the "Dead Ghost Secret Sword". In fact, it all came down to two magic sword moves:
The first form is a condensed piercing attack that is powerful and focused on one point, reaching the pinnacle. It is used by the "Secret Sword of the Dead Ghost" for quick kills at close range.

One move is a huge wind blade slashing with huge sword energy, which disperses the power and expands the slashing range for long-range attacks.

The essence of it is the wonderful use of non-chanting wind magic mixed with sword energy, highly compressed wind blade magic that increases magic output, and sword energy compressed by extremely condensed fighting spirit. Do you think it is difficult?
It's not difficult, but there's no need to learn it specifically.

For close range attacks, I have the Light Tachi, which has a better explosiveness. For long range attacks, I have the "Hellfire Bullet", which increases the magic power."

After hearing this, the octopus' eyes were obviously dull. He just looked at Alan using his fingers as swords for a long time without saying anything.

Alan glanced at the coral tower in the distance.

“But it’s always good to have many skills, so I just learn them.

Wind magic without chanting? I know this kind of thing, and I have been practicing it every night since conquering the "Dead Ghost Secret Sword".

A huge source of magic power achieved through the magic stone? I don't need to use the magic stone to have a huge magic power.

Highly condensed fighting spirit? I have it too. In fact, my Sky Slash is more condensed than the sword spirit of the "Dead Ghost Secret Sword", the way of exerting force is more sophisticated, and the posture of drawing the sword is more arbitrary.

So, Octopus, do you think I can use the "Dead Ghost Secret Sword" move?

After all, this sword wind is really fast."

The octopus's eyeballs spun rapidly in their sockets. "'Annihilation Wind Thorn'? No, the distance is not enough! 'Annihilation Wind Sword' has a large range, but the speed is not enough! The distance is too far, I have a chance to dodge, and! You will definitely affect your companions! You will definitely affect them."

Alan looked at Lokisi who was running anxiously on the coral tower in the distance and couldn't help but smile.

"'Annihilation Wind Sword'? Nice name, but unfortunately, this sword move is just a poor substitute for 'Annihilation Wind Stab'.

This was because the "Annihilation Wind Sword" was obviously unable to control the accuracy of the attack of the "Dead Ghost Secret Sword", so it had to resort to the next best thing and increase the attack range to ensure that the attack would not miss.

But is this necessary for me?

No, octopus.

Because I am the 'Water God', and precision control is a required course for the Water God School."

The octopus was obviously stunned for a moment, and then its body suddenly swelled up, and it was about to let out a sharp scream to notify "itself" in the distance.

Allen: "Wind sting."

The wind suddenly exploded in front of Alan and the octopus's face! "Annihilation Wind Thorn" pulled out a transparent spiral from Alan's fingertips.

In an instant, it covered a distance of 1400 meters and pierced through the octopus split on the coral tower!

In Loki's eyes, she just saw Alan turning his head and pointing at her, and then a gust of distant wind blew over.

Then she heard a noise coming from a distance.

Just as doubts arose in his mind, the coral weapon under his neck fell to the ground with a clang.

She turned her head immediately, but her blue eyes widened.

All she could see was a smooth cut surrounding the octopus's head, and in the middle of the body, there was a palm-sized hole that allowed Lokixi to even see the inner wall of the coral tower behind through the octopus's body.

The other person's eyeball disappeared.

With a thud, the body fell to the ground.

-

One kilometer away.

Alan looked at the octopus in front of him and said with a smile.

“I told you, Octopus.

The initiative has always been in my hands."
