A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 239 The Budding of Ambition

"Waaaaaah~~"

"Charge! My treant army!"

As the trees on the battlefield were all controlled by Wood Spirit 17 and transformed into tree-men to join the battle, the two 'supernatural legions' immediately clashed.

This so-called 'army of the dead' is naturally a product of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit. The seemingly terrifying army of the dead is actually just the shadows beneath their feet. The zombies created by the Shadow-Shadow Fruit are not afraid of sunlight—only those whose shadows have been taken away are instantly killed by sunlight.

Therefore, as long as the 'body' of a legion is frozen, their shadows can be used to continuously create undead legions.

Faced with the thunderous onslaught of the treant army, the undead army met them head-on without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the two legions, which were equally fearless and ignorant of death, clashed on the plain.

"You've managed to build an army so quickly, Little Seventeen is quite impressive."

Wood Sprite 17 wiped his nose in response to Attila's praise.

"Of course,"

"I am the strongest Wood Spirit under Lord 'Six Harmonies'!"

"Oh?"

The Hun king looked at Mu Mei No. 17 with a half-smile.

"Why do I feel that you would rather replace that 'Six Harmonies' Lord?"

? !
"To replace you, sir? How...how is that possible?"

In an instant, Wood Spirit No. 17 became hesitant and stammering. Before she could deny it, the 'King of the Huns' reached out and put his arm around her neck.

"Hahaha, what's impossible?"

"Did you know that I used to inherit the throne with my brother, which was known as the 'dual-kingdom' era?"

Attila's uncle, Ruja, unified the various Hunnic tribes. However, after his death, the throne was inherited by Attila and his brother Bleda. Both brothers were men of fierce ambition and ruthless ambition, who attacked the Roman Empire several times, plundered extensively, and were despised by Western European civilization as the 'Scourge of XX'.

However, after forcing Rome to sign a compensation agreement, Bleda died mysteriously on her way back.

"Everyone knows,"

"It was this guy who killed his own brother."

Mulan's cold words drew Attila's discontented protest.

"In fact, it was Bleda who wanted to kill me. I was acting in self-defense. Is self-defense not allowed?"

"What is the truth? Isn't it all just your side of the story?"

Faced with Mulan's sharp rebuttal, Attila was not annoyed, but instead smiled calmly.

"Yes, does the truth even matter?"

Whether he died of disease, was assassinated by Attila, or, as Attila claimed, was merely acting in self-defense—none of that matters, because Attila swiftly eliminated his brother Bleda's forces and then led the Huns to victory after victory.

Then all the Huns would cheer for him: no one would refuse victory!

"Hey! You guys—"

As the forest was transformed into a legion of tree spirits by Wood Spirit 17, a group of contestants who were also hiding in the forest were immediately brought to the surface.

Alati turned to look at these people and raised his hand to give the order without any politeness.

"The massive Wild Hunt army has been stopped,"

"What are you waiting for?"

Upon hearing Attila's words, the contestants exchanged glances, their fearful gazes sweeping over Mulan, who stood to the side.

"Brothers, come on!"

"Let's take out these undead first, and then we'll talk about getting through the knockout stage."

"The grunts have been held off by the tree people, now we'll deal with the elites!"

Those who can participate in the Rose Garden Competition are all at least D-rank, which in the real world would be equivalent to human tanks. But even so, if they are entangled by a massive number of E-rank skeletons and zombies, they will still meet their end in defeat.

Now, the Wild Hunt legion's grunts are entangled in the treant army created by the 'tree spirit girl,' and it's time for them to show their skills.

At a shout, these armored and weapon-wielding warriors charged out and joined the battle.

Those 'Abominations' and 'Death Knights' were not to be outdone and rushed forward one after another.

The 'elite' war between the supernatural legions has officially begun.

"Little Seventeen,"

"A true man, born between heaven and earth, how can he remain depressed and inferior to others for long?"

Attila patted her on the shoulder, and Wood Charm 17 felt completely numb: after coming to this Rose Garden Tournament, she realized that the world was so vast, with powerful experts everywhere, which was incomparable to staying in Takatsuki City.

Perhaps, it will continue to grow stronger.
"cough,"

The image of Lord 'Gou Chen,' who was also participating in the competition, flashed through his mind, and Wood Spirit No. 17 shook his head.

“Mr. Attila, now is not the time to talk about this. Let’s fight first.”

Little Seventeen, your heart is in turmoil.

Mulan glanced at the seemingly composed Wood Spirit 17, and her disgust for this "Hun King" intensified.

"boring,"

With a stomp of her foot, Mulan gracefully emerged, ready to join the battle.

"It's time to end this."

boom----!
With a loud bang, a large number of 'Treemen' were sent flying out like weeds in the wind.

It wasn't just tree people, but also mud, rocks, and several contestants with twisted limbs mixed in.

These contestants, covered in solid, dark blue ice, were already lifeless before they even landed—not everyone is like Brooke, who always "stops short."

The Fruit of the Underworld!

The treants' formation was torn apart.
He is a 'king' riding a skeletal warhorse.

He was wearing a crown and was covered in ferocious heavy armor.

A hideous and terrifying demon's head was sculpted on his chest, and grotesque spikes stood upright on his armor. His entire body exuded a chilling blue aura.

Seated on the icy skeletal horse, clad in solid ice and armor, its hooves pounded the battlefield. The moisture on the ground rapidly froze, covering the ground with frost formed from the air. Then, as the warhorse galloped away, the temperature suddenly rose, emitting a 'sizzling' sound.

The runic ram's head two-handed sword in his hand swung across...

The white frost transformed into flowing, chilling air that spread everywhere.

The drastic changes in temperature caused the earth to bubble, like water poured onto a red-hot iron plate, or like highly corrosive acid splashed on marble, which looked extremely terrifying.

Click click click click,

As this 'king' charged in on horseback,

Whether they were tree people or contestants, they were all swept away like weeds.

This is also why Mulan took the initiative to attack: if the enemy continued to kill, the morale of the contestants who were pursuing the treasure route would collapse.

Clang,

It gracefully flew close to the ground into the battlefield.

The swordsman drew his sword from his back with a backhand motion, and a cold glint flashed.

brush,

A flying slash hurtled towards the 'King of the Wild Hunt'.

This flying slash is not invisible; instead, it appears in black and white, chasing and rotating with each other to form a perfect circle! Far from consuming power during flight, it continuously accumulates cutting power during its flight.

"A night of fish and dragon dance!" (Rip/Tear)

This special 'flying slash' developed by someone swept across the battlefield, immediately leaving a trail of pause on the battlefield.

The undead along the Yin-Yang Fish's path came to a halt, while the Yin-Yang Fish sped towards the 'King of the Wild Hunt'!
? !
Beneath the helmet, which blends seamlessly with the crown,
Two beams of dark blue light suddenly rose and expanded.

At the same time, the skeletal warhorse, which was in perfect harmony with the skeletal horse, suddenly reared up and then slammed its front hooves down heavily forward.

The king wielded his rune-inlaid greatsword, using the power of his horse to slash forward simultaneously, precisely intercepting the 'Yin-Yang Fish Flying Slash'.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!!
The moment the runic greatsword blocked the 'Yin-Yang fish', a buzzing sound was like thunder from the heavens!

Like a high-speed spinning flywheel striking a sword blade: sparks flew and the sound was deafening! It was the result of a high-speed spinning flying slash and the 'Homitz' weapon colliding violently.

After a brief stalemate, the runic longsword finally cleaved the yin-yang symbol in two: the scattered sword energy was enough to cut a normal supernatural expert to pieces.

Unfortunately, this 'King of the Wild Hunt' was covered in heavy armor, which was also covered in solid ice.

Such aftershocks were not enough to harm him.

"Human beings are strong!"

Beneath the helmet, which blended seamlessly with the crown, a brilliant, deep blue light shone.

"die!"

It is only polite to reciprocate, and the 'King of the Wild Hunt' was not to be outdone, his rune-encrusted longsword swirling and coiling in his hand.

Waaaaah—

The shadows of the destroyed 'undead' on the battlefield, as well as the shadows of the treants and even the contestants, all flew towards the longsword in the hand of the 'King of the Wild Hunt'. Countless dark figures spun, gathered, and mingled together, forming a dark trajectory that appeared as the 'King of the Wild Hunt' swung his sword.

"Death Coil!"

Well, it's actually the Shadow Spear from the 'Shadow-Shadow Fruit':
After being redesigned by someone, it turned into a giant, pitch-black skull that lunged at 'Mulan'.

Faced with this move, Mulan did not fight head-on. She spun her three-foot-long sword, drawing circles of varying sizes. It looked simple and unadorned, but it was actually two streams of energy subtly chasing each other.

The 'circle', which represents the balance of yin and yang and the continuous cycle of life, is like a series of peaks that stretch endlessly, one after another, layer upon layer. The continuous sword energy blooms in front of you, grinding away the hideous and terrifying black skull as quickly as a millstone, yet it does so with ease.

Actually it is not.

This was somewhat tricky—the opponent's heavy armor, as well as their ability to manipulate ice and souls, all made Mulan frown slightly.

It's not that she can't defeat her opponent, but rather that it's difficult for her to end the fight quickly, unless:
He glanced slightly backward and saw several contestants retreating in a disheveled state.

Mulan had already made up her mind, and that was:

Quick victory!

"Sword, I need to borrow your power."

"Did you see that, Little Seventeen?"

"As expected of Mulan, charging into battle alone, her bravery surpasses that of the entire army!"

Behind the battlefield, Attila didn't hold back his applause and praise: Mulan was always criticizing him, yet he still stayed by his side, not because the 'King of the Huns' was a masochist, but because of his formidable strength.

"I don't need to look, I know that Sister Mulan and Brother Mulan are very strong."

Wood Spirit #17 replied irritably, "How could I not be strong? It was she who defeated #17 in just a few moves and made her obediently 'join the team'."

Otherwise, given Number 17's personality, why would he be so obedient?

"Cough cough cough,"

"The opponent is too strong; we need to regroup."

Just then, several contestants covered in blood withdrew.

Ok?
She twitched her small nose.

On the 17th, something was discovered: most of the blood came from the same person.

"Be careful--"

"There is a flaw!"

He swung his giant axe and suddenly attacked the 'Xiongnu King'.

The burly contestant, who was just panting heavily and seemed about to collapse, no longer showed any signs of weakness.
"I'll take you down first, you king!"

To shoot a man, first shoot his horse; to capture a thief, first capture his king.

Powerful guards entered the battlefield; the tree spirit girl was a summoner.

Eliminating this 'Hunter King' will clear an obstacle for the rest of the competition—

Click!

The plan is wonderful.
Unfortunately, the axe blade, suddenly gripped firmly by five fingers, took the burly contestant by surprise.

"You don't actually think that I, Attila, am..."

The fingers of flesh and blood gripped the opponent's giant axe and pulled it backward sharply.

As he pulled the burly contestant back, Attila released his grip on the giant axe and clenched his fist to strike.

boom----! !

It was like a watermelon being hit by a hammer, with red and white parts scattering everywhere.

"Can't you fight?"

One punch to the head.

"What."

"Damn it, let's go!"

"Fight!!"

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

The remaining three contestants had no time to regret their actions and brandished their weapons to surround and attack 'King Hun' Attila.

A dozen seconds later, it turned into an abstract painting lying on the ground.

"Tsk, trash."

Mulan returned gracefully, glancing disdainfully at the corpse on the ground.

I gave you a chance, but you were useless!

She couldn't even kill a king without any soldiers, so even she wasn't confident she could kill this Xiongnu king.

"Little Mulan, are you done on your end too?"

"Ah."

Using the power of her sword, Mulan eliminated the 'King of the Wild Hunt' in the most concealed and silent way, taking only a dozen seconds.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Witnessing all this, Wood Spirit 17's eyes lit up.

Both Attila and Mulan are terrifyingly strong.

Subconsciously, she compared these two people to Lord 'Liuhe' in her mind, and her heart, which had not been there before, seemed to start beating again.

If she possessed such power, she—

It can even surpass Lord Liuhe!

Wahahaha,

The title of "the number one wood spirit under Lord Seimei" is more suitable for her?
