Why is my anime art style so weird?

Snapped!

In the blink of an eye, Haruyuki Arita rushed forward and kicked off the bone claw that was holding Xu Ming.

"Xu Mingjun, what are you daydreaming about!"

Xu Ming calmed down immediately.

"Let's go!"

So the two of them rushed out one after the other.

Crackling sounds!

The bone claws blocking their path were kicked off without hesitation by the two men.

As the two rushed halfway, some skeletons had already emerged from the ground, their teeth chattering as they lunged at them.

"Xu Mingjun! Stay close to me!"

Haruyuki Arita roared, and the armor on his head immediately transformed into an even harder form. Then, he lowered his head and charged forward like a bull!

The skeletons blocking the way were immediately smashed to pieces.

Xu Ming, following behind him, immediately felt the pressure lessen and hurriedly followed him forward, burying his head and rushing ahead.

Finally, before the skeleton could fully emerge, the two broke through the encirclement.

The rest was naturally simple.

Taking advantage of the complex layout of the underground maze, the two began to fly kites, just like in the game.

Although there were many skeletons, they were gradually wiped out by the two of them.

Bah!

Seeing that the last skeleton had been destroyed, Xu Ming didn't care whether the ground was clean or not. He found a dry spot, plopped down, and started panting heavily.

Chapter 163 The Shogunate is Dead!

He is now weak and sore all over, and he can't even lift his right hand, which is holding the crowbar.

This kind of multi-person sport is really too tiring.

After catching his breath, Xu Ming patted Haruyuki Arita on the shoulder.

"Arita-kun, how are you feeling?"

"It's...not bad!"

Haruyuki Arita replied, equally breathless.

His armor was covered in deep and shallow scratches, but his head, protected by special energy, was unharmed.

Although 'Silver Raven' wears metal armor, silver is soft and can only be considered light armor at best. It's okay against light weapons like bone claws, but it would be useless against heavy weapons like greatswords.

However, to be fair, although the piglet had many problems, Xu Ming was willing to indulge it.

In critical moments like this, the piglets are the most reliable comrades-in-arms.

The two rested for a while, and Xu Ming also waited for his phone to finish charging.

Afterwards, the two returned to the fork in the road, and this time they took the small path on the right.

Silence! Utter silence!

All Xu Ming felt was silence, and a chilling atmosphere hidden beneath it.

Previously, when walking through the left passage, I could see cockroaches crawling in the corners and earthworms burrowing in the soil.

But once you reach the right side, all signs of life seem to have been cut off, with only the occasional dripping sound coming from the passageway.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Each blow seemed to strike Xu Ming's heart.

Xu Ming and Haruyuki Arita exchanged a glance, both noticing the seriousness in each other's eyes, and instinctively slowed their pace.

"Ok?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Xu Ming's eyes.

Suddenly, the ground ahead was paved with stone bricks, which extended all the way into the depths of the passage.

Stepping onto the stone bricks, which gradually dried out, Xu Ming summoned the young lady from the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons'.

"What? Didn't I tell you not to bother me unless it's important?"

Erina crossed her arms and said irritably.

"We both feel that it's quite dangerous inside, so we need Miss's help."

Xu Ming was not angry at all because of Erina's bad attitude.

In his eyes, this was his daughter's way of rebelling.

No matter how angry she gets, she still has to call him "Dad."

"Seriously, I'll help you one more time."

As Erina spoke, she lit a fireball and summoned two more at once, which floated in mid-air.

The surroundings were instantly illuminated.

To the three's surprise, a wooden building appeared in front of them.

It was a small wooden hut resembling a shrine, with blue tiles, wooden pillars, shimenawa (sacred rope), a large bronze bell, and stone lanterns...

The strangest thing is that there was a blood-red candle flame inside the stone lantern.

The three exchanged glances. Such a strange scene must mean something was amiss!

Xu Ming gave Haruyuki Arita a wink.

Haruyuki Arita helplessly spread his hands, then resignedly led the way toward the shrine.

Walking along the stone-paved path, nothing happened.

I passed by the stone lanterns emitting a blood-red candlelight, and nothing happened.

Finally, the three of them stepped onto the wooden corridor of the shrine.

Just then, the shimenawa rope suddenly started to sway on its own without any wind, and the large copper bell hanging on it also made a clattering sound.

Haruyuki Arita immediately stepped in front of the two of them.

Suddenly, the paper sliding door of the shrine swung open with a whoosh!

The three of them looked into the doorway simultaneously.

A figure was seen kneeling beneath the statue inside the shrine.

He wore a dark blue Edo-style yukata, with two katanas, one long and one short, hanging at his waist, and a pistol-shaped flintlock pistol tucked into his belt. His face was resolute, with a hideous scar running from his forehead down to the corner of his mouth.

Hearing the noise, he slowly opened his eyes, as if a bolt of lightning had flashed across the darkness.

He stared at Xu Ming and the other two in front of him with a cold and stern look in his eyes.

"So they've finally arrived, you lackeys of the Shogunate, the executioners of the Shinsengumi!"

As he spoke, he slowly stood up, drew his katana, raised it above his head, and assumed the stance of a high stance.

Xu Ming then realized that this person was unusually tall. Xu Ming himself was about 1.8 meters tall, but he seemed to be a head shorter in front of him. This person was probably more than 2 meters tall.

However, his words and attitude made Xu Ming frown.

"Wait! We're not from the Shinsengumi, the shogunate is long gone!"

Xu Ming tried to persuade him.

"Dead remnants of the old era, obstacles to change! Die!"

Boom!

The giant warrior ignored Xu Ming's explanation and stomped his foot, charging towards the three like a chariot.

Xu Ming subconsciously raised his phone and gave him a selfie.

With a snap, the formation suddenly appeared, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

The giant warrior's figure suddenly froze, a large amount of black mist emanated from his body, and his entire body burst into flames. His massive body staggered backward.

Xu Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it was 'strange', there was no...

Just as he thought this, the giant warrior stomped his right foot backward to steady himself, then slowly stood up and raised his katana.

"Remnants of the old era! You cannot stop the wheels of history from turning!"

His entire body was engulfed in flames, especially his face, which had been almost entirely burned away, leaving only bare bones, making him look particularly gruesome.

But looking at his upright posture and the katana he held high, one could sense a touch of tragic grandeur in the face of a hero's twilight years.

He gripped his sword again and charged at the three men.

"Erina!"

Xu Ming shouted, and at the same time raised the holy sword of physics in his hand.

"Don't order me around!"

Erina shouted loudly, and at the same time, she condensed more than a dozen fireballs and threw them all at the giant warrior.

Xu Ming also raised the Holy Sword of Physics in his hand and started banging it on the giant warrior's head.

The air vibrated violently as the crowbar struck his head repeatedly.

Erina's fireball hit him, but it did nothing more than add fuel to the fire on his body.

The giant warrior remained oblivious and continued charging towards the three with his katana raised high.

Haruyuki Arita gritted his teeth and went straight to meet him.

But with his small frame, he was blasted away by the giant warrior the moment he got close!

"Humph!"

Erina snorted coldly, a resolute glint in her eyes.
