The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

However, Mori Kenji knew that it was caused by the knotted muscles in his lower body. Okubo was one of the people most severely infected by the tsukiyaki, and he used the most "medicine," so naturally, his condition changed the most.

"A place where monsters gather, it truly lives up to its name..."

The figures were clearly aware of the changes in Hikimura, but upon seeing this blatant scene, they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Monsters? Our flesh and blood grow naturally, unlike you, who grew into your current 'human' form by eating other people's flesh!"

"Okubo, who cares about the shogunate rebels? Kill them all and use them as fertilizer for the big tree at the village entrance!"

After saying that, Kenji Mori exerted force with both legs, creating two deep pits on the spot.

His strength should not be underestimated.

"understood!"

Okubo nodded, then charged forward, wielding a solid iron bar that was at least three fingers thick.

"Hold back! The time to sacrifice yourself has come!"

Several rebels, seeing this, were equally unwilling to back down.

In a flash, several bright "eyes" appeared in the darkness.

Chapter 415 Villagers with only brute strength

"Hey!"

Sparks flew as Mori Kenji's twin swords were just an inch away from piercing the throat of the person before him.

Unfortunately, his attack came to an end. Mori Kenji's twin swords were blocked by the samurai sword of the person in front of him, and he could not advance an inch.

Seeing this, Mori Masatoshi suddenly exerted force with both arms, pressing the katana down a short distance. Then he swiftly drew his sword and thrust it straight at the soldier's abdomen.

But before his single blade could pierce the soldier's body, a sensation of goosebumps instantly swept over his entire body.

This prompted Mori Masaki to instinctively jump back, thus avoiding the gleaming spear tip.

"call……"

The soldier with the knife took a few steps back, feeling both fear and apprehension.

This man is so strong, yet his technique is completely chaotic. He's actually slashing with both swords at the same time, and he even dares to stab himself in the stomach with one of the swords. Isn't he afraid of having his hands chopped off?

"The Eye of God?" Mori Takeji saw the flashing light on the waists of the two soldiers and his heart sank.

Those who possess the Eye of God are practically invincible to ordinary people.

"Paji!"

"Mori! What are you spacing out for!"

A nauseating stench of blood filled the air, making the pungent smell of flames around them recede somewhat.

Before Mori Kenji's eyes appeared a pool of rotten flesh, with pieces of armor that had long since broken off attached to it.

He looked down and saw the gleaming light within the rotting flesh gradually dim, eventually disappearing completely into the decaying flesh.

Looking up again, one end of Okubo's iron rod had turned bright red. And there were also some hideous cuts on his body.

Fortunately, the cut contained only white keratin, not bright red flesh and blood.

Seemingly noticing Mori Kenji's gaze, Okubo immediately brandished his iron bar and menacingly approached Mori Kenji's side.

"What do we do? They're all formidable opponents." Panting heavily, Okubo asked Mori Kenji.

Don't be fooled by how impressive it is that he can kill a soldier with a single blow; it's all done at the cost of his own life.

If it weren't for his tough skin, he would have been disemboweled by now.

This group was completely different from the bandits before. They knew formations, martial arts, and tactics. When Okubo fought them, he always ended up with an extra wound without even realizing it.

If he doesn't desperately try to create an opening, it's only a matter of time before he's worn down and dies.

Hearing Okubo's anxious shouts, Mori Kenji snapped out of his daze. Even those with the Eye of God were not invincible!

But then he glanced at the soldiers who had regrouped, and the "Eye of God" on their waists shone even brighter.

"If you have the chance, escape. Don't get entangled," Mori Kenji whispered. One-on-one might be worth a try, but if it's two against many, then forget it.

"Are you deaf? I told you to sacrifice yourselves! If you don't act now, you'll end up like him!" The man who was clearly the captain roared, pointing at the soldiers lying dead on the ground.

Then, he turned to look at Okubo and Morita Kenji and took a deep breath.

"You two, suffer death!"

The shouts quickly subsided, replaced by the sound of surging flames.

The rebel squad leader swung his sword, and the evil eye at his waist emitted a dazzling red light.

A tongue of fire, like a crescent moon, sliced ​​through the air, melting everything taller than the flames.

"Hide!"

When Mori Kenji saw the flames, the intense heat hitting him made him realize that this was definitely not a move he could withstand.

So he decisively took a step and lay down in the ditch in the field.

But Okubo wasn't as quick as Mori Kenji. By the time he reacted, the flames were almost in front of him.

"I can't dodge it, I won't dodge it!"

Seeing that it was too late to dodge, Okubo decisively raised his bat with both hands and swung it down heavily.

"呲-"

The sounds of melting steel and scorching flesh were so mixed that it was impossible to tell them apart.

The crescent moon formed by the flames was so real that it pushed Okubo backward step by step.

Okubo mobilized his entire body, his bulging veins throbbing, demonstrating the powerful force pumping from his heart.

"Drink-"

"Oh!"

As Okubo stumbled, the flames gradually dissipated into the sky and earth.

"Well……"

Okubo pulled his hand, which was almost stuck to the iron bar, away, and a red and white hue appeared on the black iron bar.

Looking at the iron bar that had been scorched beyond recognition, Okubo threw it to the ground without any hesitation.

He looked down, picked up the spear that was still gleaming coldly from the ground, and casually tossed the mangled, charred corpse behind him.

"boom!"

The mangled corpse fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of sand.

The golden tree saw the corpse in front of it, which looked like a piece of charcoal, and its branches swayed.

Amidst the chaos and noise, several thin branches silently emerged from beneath the ground, then wrapped around the charred corpse, dragging it into the earth.

"Crash!"

Shortly after the body was dragged to the ground, the golden tree shook excitedly a few times. The few leaves on its crown rustled as it shook.

The rustling of the leaves quickly stopped, and the few remaining branches of the golden tree began to shrink almost imperceptibly, as if the tree were deep in thought.

This strange phenomenon went unnoticed by anyone. Fires are always accompanied by strong winds, and what's so noteworthy about wind blowing leaves?

"How are you feeling?" Morita Kenji climbed out of the ditch and quickly ran to Okubo's side, asking with concern.

"One more hit and I think I'll be done for," Okubo replied, gripping his spear with lingering fear.

For a fleeting moment, he almost wondered if he was being burned. Elemental power truly was an insurmountable chasm.

"Ha, you can still hold on a little longer, but I can't even take a little." Mori Kenji gently patted his chest, expelling all the hot smoke from it.

After feeling the burning sensation in his lungs subside somewhat, he calmed himself down and turned to say, "If we can't run, we should try to fight until the others from the village arrive!"

"Then let's see if you can hold out." No sooner had Mori Kenji finished speaking than the resistance fighters in the distance made a new move.

Suddenly, their evil eyes burst forth with intense, multicolored light, and soon flames, waterfalls, thunder, and all sorts of powerful elements erupted and surged forth.

For a moment, it gave people the feeling of facing a natural disaster.

"Die!"

Seeing this scene, Mori Kenji knew that if they were exposed to even a little of these elemental bursts, they would surely die, whether it was himself or Okubo.

So he shoved Okubo backward hard to help his somewhat "slow" partner react earlier.

As for the rest, we can only leave it to fate.

Just as Mori Kenji was about to run away, he suddenly felt something grab his feet.

His vision blurred, and when he came to his senses, only Mori Kenji's head was still sticking out of the ground.

Before he could figure out what was happening, a tingling sensation spread from the top of his head to his entire body.

"call--"

Something swift and enormous swept past Mori Kenji's head, followed by a loud roar.

"Okubo..."

When Mori Kenji looked up, he saw a huge, dark tail growing out of Okubo's buttocks.

The enormous dragon tail was over ten meters long, and its diameter alone was thicker than Okubo's entire body.

What's even more surprising is that this enormous dragon tail is driven by a human body that seems completely mismatched with it.

The dragon's tail swept across, colliding violently with the overwhelming elemental power.

The seemingly unstoppable burst of elemental energy was instantly torn apart by the thick dragon tail. They did nothing and were transformed into the purest elements in the world.
