Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the pity.

The 'Twins of the Other Shore' are only level five, while Orochi has clearly reached level six, or even the peak of level six.

The effect of 'Twin Souls' has been weakened by nearly half.

Even so, with the balance of power shifting, Kasumigaoka Utaha completely gained the upper hand.

Consequently, the aura of the blood mist she released surged, overwhelming the purple poisonous mist released by the Yamata no Orochi.

Looking down from high above, the crimson color began to encroach upon and suffocate the purple territory with a force visible to the naked eye.

As the blood mist and purple poisonous mist compressed around the body of the Yamata no Orochi, they were still unable to achieve final victory.

That seemingly weak purple hue firmly protected the Yamata no Orochi, becoming its strongest barrier.

The Yamata no Orochi subtly shifted its massive body. Its golden eyes showed no sign of panic, but rather a cunning that was almost human-like.

Seeing that he couldn't make any progress, Xu Ming observed carefully and finally discovered the strange thing.

It turned out that a green ray of light had silently appeared at the eye of the wood formation and connected to the Yamata no Orochi.

At this moment, the Wood Eye looked extremely bad, its green light flickering on and off, much like a cell phone about to run out of battery.

Xu Ming was startled upon seeing this scene.

This cunning giant is secretly absorbing the energy of the Wood Array Eye!?

It was thanks to the continuous energy supplied by the Wood Eye that Orochi was able to maintain a stalemate with Kasumigaoka Utaha despite being at a disadvantage.

Even a fool knows what will happen once it absorbs all the energy from the Wood Eye.

At that time, they will not only have to face the avatar of the Yamata no Orochi, but also the Nine-Tailed Fox that has just escaped its confinement.

Just thinking about that scene is terrifying!

Xu Ming quickly turned on his phone's fast charging mode, while simultaneously shaking the crowbar and gesturing where to start attacking the large object.

Just then, a soft voice suddenly came to my ear.

"Ming, why don't you let me do it?"

Kato Megumi, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, seemed to realize that the situation was not good and whispered to Xu Ming.

"No need, Xiaohui needs to save her strength to reinforce the seal."

Leave this to me.

Xu Ming quickly waved his hand, after all, he still had his last trump card to play, and he would definitely not hold back when the most dangerous moment came.

"But……"

Kato Megumi looked at the less-than-optimistic battle situation, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Xiaohui."

Xu Ming, in a playful manner, made a muscle-flexing gesture in an attempt to ease his tension.

Kato Megumi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Humph!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly turned her head, her scarlet pupils sweeping over the two of them without any emotion.

Xu Ming couldn't help but shudder, quickly stopping his playful actions and staring straight ahead with a serious expression.

On the contrary, Kato Megumi looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a calm expression.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and sparks flew out in a flash.

"Humph!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha withdrew her gaze and let out a cold snort through her nose.

She turned to look at the Yamata no Orochi not far away, a fierce glint in her eyes, her condescending gaze as if she were sizing up a foolish prey who knew no death.

A barely perceptible glint of bloodlust flashed in those scarlet eyes.

blah blah blah!

A sudden explosion rang out in the air.

Immediately afterwards, it was as if the Yamata no Orochi had been hit by countless invisible cannonballs. Its illusory body, made of pure energy, was twisted and deformed by the invisible force, and a large number of holes appeared on its body.

This series of covert attacks was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Yamata no Orochi instantly lost control of the purple poisonous mist.

Without its backer, the purple poisonous mist collapsed instantly, swallowed up by the blood mist on the spot.

The blood mist, undiminished in its force, enveloped the massive Yamata no Orochi in the blink of an eye, like a tsunami.

The Yamata no Orochi, shrouded in blood mist, immediately began to show signs of corrosion on its body surface.

The loss of energy and the pain in his body made Yamata no Orochi increasingly violent.

Roar!

It roared incessantly, its body twisting wildly, seemingly trying to escape the blood mist surrounding it.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Ming raised his phone, ready to deliver the most fatal blow to Orochi.

By this time, the phone's charging cycles had already been fully charged in fast charging mode, and Xu Ming had already pointed the camera at Orochi and held down the shutter button for a while.

Click!

The purple-gold lightning once again illuminated the night sky, and at the same time shrouded the despairing Yamata no Orochi.

Chapter 455 It's really too difficult

After letting out a painful howl, the massive body of Yamata no Orochi exploded with a bang, turning into countless green specks that spread into the surrounding air.

At this moment, Xu Ming was surprised to find that the green specks showed signs of gathering together again after a while.

Could this guy really come back to life? His vitality is so strong! Is he an unkillable cockroach?

Xu Ming immediately looked as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Humph!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha revealed a cold smile.

She slowly raised her hand, aimed at the green specks, and grabbed them hard.

Snapped!

There was a sound like something breaking.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Ming saw a green glow suddenly appear in Kasumigaoka Utaha's palm.

That was actually a complete piece of 'Wood Essence'!?

……

Xu Ming felt he was really stupid, really.

He originally thought that after dealing with the powerful Yamata no Orochi clone and obtaining the complete 'Essence of Wood', he would soon be able to strengthen the seal of the Wood Array Eye.

Why did things turn out this way...?

"Arno~ Big sister, we need to reinforce the seal now, what do you think...?"

With an embarrassed smile, Xu Ming rubbed his hands awkwardly while staring intently at Kasumigaoka Utaha's palm.

Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes at him, said nothing, but kept playing with the 'essence of wood' in her hand, looking at Kato Megumi with a half-smile, her face saying 'Beg me! Beg me now!'

Kato Megumi sighed, bowed slightly to her, and then extended her hands to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, please return this 'essence of wood' to me. I need it to reinforce the seal."

Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately broke into a triumphant smile.

Forcing the person she hated so much to bow down to her made Kasumigaoka Utaha feel as refreshed as if she had just soaked in a hot spring and then drunk a can of ice-cold milk.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha had no intention of letting Kato Megumi off so easily.

As she fiddled with the green ball of light in her hand, she said in a sarcastic tone:

"Kato-senpai, please get your stance straight. This isn't the attitude you should use when asking someone for a favor~"

"elder sister……"

Xu Ming was about to speak when he was immediately interrupted by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Young man, shut up! This is between her and me!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha glared fiercely at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming opened his mouth, hesitated, and looked at Kato Megumi with some concern.

Her older sister was clearly making things difficult for her.

If it were him, he might have overturned the table and started a fight on the spot.

Kato Megumi's composure was even greater than Xu Ming had expected; her expression didn't change much at all.

"I understand, if that's what you want, senior."

As Kato Megumi spoke, she straightened her body and bowed deeply to Kasumigaoka Utaha with a serious expression, her body almost at a ninety-degree angle.

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, this 'Essence of Wood' is really important to us. Please return it to us, we beg you!"

Xu Ming's expression changed. He never expected that Kato Megumi would still be willing to perform such a grand gesture in the face of his sister's difficult behavior.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression also changed drastically as she looked at her rival, who was bowing deeply to her, with a complicated expression.

Even though the other person was bowing and scraping to her, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt as if she had already lost.

"Are you... worth it?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned, scrutinizing Kato Megumi from head to toe, as if trying to see right through her.

I think it's worth it.

The conflict between us is purely personal, but this 'essence of wood' concerns the safety of all residents in Tokyo and even the surrounding cities.

Kato Megumi said calmly.

Kasumigaoka Utaha inexplicably felt a surge of irritation.
