It is absolutely true that it is a demon sword.
Therefore, it can bring considerable results.
Nearly twenty Gray Corpse disciples were cut in half along with their weapons and armor.
For those who survived, their weapons or flesh were cut with deep wounds.
Then, the black swords turned and returned to their master, Shizuku, their tips pointing downwards, forming a neat line in the air.
In Guanghui's eyes, the girl he had known since childhood, leading a large group of black demon swords and standing in the center of the sword formation, was exactly like the hero in the legendary story, which was also the goal he longed for.
Her shiny black ponytail swayed in the wind, and her cold eyes, staring directly at Guanghui, were quiet and sharp, like a spring in the cold of winter. That look left Guanghui mesmerized.
"So beautiful..."
He even uttered such an inappropriate line subconsciously.
His attention was completely diverted, and he didn't even notice the changes in the surrounding situation.
"Uooohh ...
A long, battle-filled roar echoed throughout the surroundings. The beast's head, the narrow, black-red eyes characteristic of wild beasts, densely packed fangs, sharp claws, and a blanket of black fur.
It's a werewolf. The werewolf is attacking Huili.
While the Black Demon Sword was attacking Guanghui, the werewolf also approached Huili and launched a fierce attack, taking the heads of several Gray Corpses along the way.
The werewolf's speed was so abnormally fast that even though Huili's dynamic vision had been greatly improved by the Apostle transformation, it still looked blurry.
More importantly, the werewolf's fighting style is extremely clever.
Straight punch, penetrating hand, back punch, roundhouse kick...
They are all very familiar moves, because they are the essence of karate that is unique to my former team mates.
Huili was pinned down by the werewolf's close-range attack, not even having a chance to take off.
Even if the gray feathers with decomposition effects were fired, they would be blocked by the werewolf's light armor and gauntlets.
That's right, the werewolf was wearing Ryuutarou's equipment. Since his physique had grown a bit, the equipment itself hadn't grown with it, so it looked a bit deformed, but it was undoubtedly the same equipment he had just seen.
Combining these clues, it wasn't hard to guess the werewolf's true identity. Eri parried the attack with her greatsword, muttering unhappily.
"Tsk, that's magic, you big, strong guy!"
"Stop nagging! You're just being unreasonable. I'm going to give you a beating. Be prepared!"
Eri's speculation was absolutely correct. In terms of speed alone, Ryuutarou was more than capable of matching Eri's current strength. The reason for Ryuutarou's transformation into magic was his transformation into a magical being.
──Transformed into a magical demon.
Using the magic stone taken from the monster as a medium, he uses magic to transform his body into the monster itself.
Ryutaro has always been more interested in hand-to-hand combat than in magic. Although he has a strong aptitude for magic, he is unable to refine his magic to the point where he can control monsters quickly.
After a lot of worrying about how to solve this dilemma of having talent but not being able to use it, this is the answer I got. In other words, since I can't control monsters, I can just transform myself into the monster I want to control.
Needless to say, "Demon Transformation" is considered the ultimate level of transformation magic, the most difficult realm. However, Ryutaro's own aptitude seemed particularly suited to physical transformation magic, and he was able to master it in one fell swoop.
Huili saw through this fact, so she said that he had "strong limbs", and this assessment was absolutely correct.
In addition, the magic stone currently used by Ryutaro comes from the king of the werewolves living in the lowest level of the abyss.
──The Demon transforms into a Wolf Warrior module.
Now, Ryutaro can not only use skills like "Prediction" and "Amplified Perception", but also use the inherent magic "Acceleration" to simultaneously activate the effects of all acceleration skills such as "Shrinking the Earth" and "No Beat", making him the most ferocious hunter. This is the transformation form that prioritizes speed.
That's how Huili was controlled.
Because of this, Eri was now even more anxious. Especially because of what was happening in the corner of her vision.
The Gray Corpses serving as the rearguard were still unable to launch disintegration bombardments, and she saw the reason.
"What are you doing!? You're such a useless bunch! They're just bugs, why don't you just chase them away!"
That's right, bugs. Before the Gray Corpse Guardians, acting as a rearguard, could launch their disintegration bombardment, scores of bug-shaped monsters swarmed over and began to attack them.
The giant centipede sprayed out extremely powerful dissolving liquid all over its body, and the gray corpses that were sprayed had half of their bodies dissolved in an instant, and could only fall to the ground.
Even if it is hit by other Gray Corpse followers' war hammers, the giant centipede's body segments will separate and fly around freely, while continuing to spray dissolving liquid.
There were also swarms of bees as big as babies flying around, firing explosive stingers continuously like machine guns. The blasts and impacts played the Gray Corpse Disciple in their hands.
Taking advantage of this flaw, the giant mantis with six huge sickle arms moved at high speed on the wind, firing a large number of wind blades, killing its prey one by one.
If a Gray Corpse Clan member leaps upward, he will be trapped by the spider web, which is as strong as steel wire. If he is not careful under his feet, he will be dragged into the ground by the ants stalking the ground.
──Exclusive for summoning from demons, treasure house type artifact magic orb (○Spirit Orb)
Shizuku and Ryuutarou attacked first, and while Kouki and Eri's attention was diverted by the two, Ling quietly spread the magic orbs everywhere and activated them.
In fact, the main purpose of activating the "Ten Thousand Demon Prison" just now was to prevent the Gray Corpse Disciples from noticing the existence of the magic orb.
(What the hell is that!? It's on a completely different level from the monsters I saw in the Demon King's Castle!)
Of course. These insect-like monsters were completely different in strength from the monsters in the Sea of Trees. They were all ferocious monsters that roamed the depths of the abyss, fifty in total.
The monsters' master, Ling, is protected by an impenetrable defense.
——Ling's original barrier technique, Holy Fortress.
Twenty layers of "Holy Absolute" were deployed simultaneously to form multiple barriers. Whenever a barrier was destroyed, a new barrier would be added from the inside.
As the name suggests, the multi-layered defense is like a fortress. No means can reach the bell protected within the barrier, and naturally, no means can stop the demon in the fastest way.
Furthermore, since there was no need to protect rearguards, swordsmen could charge forward without worry. Shizuku led many black demon swords and slashed at Guanghui.
"Numbers 20 to 50, go kill Shizuku! Numbers 60 to 80, cover me! The rest, go deal with Suzu! For the rearguard, don't use disintegration bombardment, use overwhelming numbers!"
Huili gave instructions one after another quickly, but the anxiety in her heart was like boiling water, and she could no longer pretend to be at ease.
This was a terrible feeling. The situation seemed to be turning in the enemy's favor. It felt like she was being rejected by the entire world, a feeling Eri had experienced countless times before.
"Drink aa ...
"Stop barking, stupid dog! — 'Ultimate Crazy Moon'!"
Eri's entire body erupted in decomposition magic power, and taking advantage of Ryuutarou's momentary retreat, she unleashed a "dark attribute magic that renders the target unconscious for a few moments," the same powerful magic that had previously subdued Ren Yue in the Demon King's Castle.
A black full moon the size of two outstretched arms appeared between Eri and Ryutaro, flickering.
Ryuutarou was caught off guard and saw "Kuang Yue" clearly with his own eyes.
In doing so, he would reveal his fatal flaw—
『Magic Fist Armor──「Thunderbolt Strike」!!』
“What… ugh!”
Ryutaro didn't stop moving at all. Instead, he took a step forward and threw a straight punch, hitting Eri's chest solidly.
Eri was sent flying, falling onto the rubble. She rolled several times on the hard, tar-like surface before quickly getting up. But the pain inside her body made her frown.
This is an internal destruction technique that combines the function of the Demon Fist Armor itself, "Thunder Wrap", and Ryutaro's skill, "Penetrating Destruction". The impact and electric shock rage mercilessly within Eri's body cavity.
"Why!?" Eri muttered to herself, bewildered. She was definitely puzzled by the fact that "Mad Moon" had no effect on Ryuutarou. How could a magic that couldn't even protect against the moon be ineffective?
"Have you forgotten? You've already used this trick once in front of Nanyun!"
Quite the opposite. It was precisely because Hajime had seen this magic work on Yue that it had no effect on him now.
(That monster again! This is ridiculous!)
Eri couldn't help but curse inwardly. She hadn't forgotten how skilled Nagumo Hajime was at preparing countermeasures, but she hadn't expected him to be able to handle a spell after only seeing it once. It was simply too good to be true.
(No, I need to calm down! There is still no problem!)
Seeing Ryutaro chasing after her with his fists emitting sparks, Eri, although anxious, still put on a mocking expression.
Afterwards, the Gray Corpses came to cover Huili.
One of them stomped his foot hard on the ground, and the ground under Ryutaro's feet, which served as the center of gravity, immediately exploded. The hard ground fragments became impromptu shotgun blasts, stopping Ryutaro's actions.
The other Gray Corpses attached their shields with a mixture of gray, black and red magic power and rushed towards Ryutaro at the same time.
Ryuutarou was struck directly by the shield, which simultaneously unleashed a powerful magical shockwave that sent him flying.
After finally putting some distance between herself and Ryutaro, Eri still stared at him, thinking while replying.
(That was supposed to be a divine relic used to counter the "Word of God." Since it can negate the effects of magic on the soul, it's not surprising that it also has the side effect of protecting the mind and consciousness. However—)
Huili thought back to what she had just seen.
(Phantom pain magic is effective against Ling. That's magic that directly stimulates the sense of touch. In other words, magic that affects the five senses or interferes with magical power might still be effective...)
Although Ryuutarou skillfully took a defensive stance upon landing and quickly rose, the Gray Corpse followers, with their clever coordination, had already surrounded Ryuutarou from the left, right, and back, each unleashing their own unique magic. Blazing spears, greatswords blazing with lightning, and knight swords spewing petrifying white smoke simultaneously attacked Ryuutarou.
Ryuutarou used his Wolf form's uniquely overwhelming speed to dodge the attack, while Eri continued to observe him calmly.
“—‘Ignorance’.”
Huili casts magic, obscuring the target's vision with a dark haze.
"What's going on?!" Ryutaro cried out in panic. Even so, he still decisively threw himself into the enemy's arms to dodge the attack based on the information he had seen before his vision was blocked. His courage was truly commendable.
But the sudden darkness that enveloped his vision was a real disadvantage. The Gray Corpse wielding the Red-Heat Spear calmly shifted position and stabbed Ryutaro from the side.
Seeing this, Huili smiled wickedly.
"—『Holy Absolute Realm』."
Several layers of luminous floating barriers blocked Ryutaro's attack. These hexagonal barriers didn't fly in, but appeared out of thin air at designated coordinates, making it difficult for even a powerful Gray Corpse to react.
Then, the spearheads slid across the slanted surface of the barrier. The greatswords and knight swords were caught head-on by the barrier. Not only that—
“—Explosion.”
Following this chant, the barrier immediately launched a targeted explosion, blasting the Gray Corpse disciples away.
“—‘Manten’.”
A light-attribute recovery spell that removes abnormal status effects was activated.
"We're saved, Ling!"
Ryuutarou's vision brightened again. As he watched Ling, within the multi-layered barrier, pointing one of the iron fans at him, his eyes expressed immense trust.
Ryutaro knew it very well.
His reliable companion was definitely skilled in more than just barrier magic.
Although Kaori is a healer, she has advanced her barrier magic and auxiliary magic to a top-notch level through extraordinary efforts.
The same goes for bells.
In order to fulfill her wish—to talk to Huili again, Ling made unimaginable efforts and mastered superb magical skills.
At this moment, Ling is using multiple barriers to protect herself, while also protecting and healing her servants, supporting them in fighting against the Gray Corpses who are more than twice as many in number.
Furthermore, whenever Ling has the chance, she activates "Myriad Demon Prison" to trap the enemy, temporarily narrowing the gap in combat power. She even goes a step further by activating "Holy Absolute Flame," smoldering the encircled barrier with intense heat, or "Holy Absolute Thunder," filling the barrier with electric shocks, inflicting damage to the enemy.
Due to the effects of their semi-apostolic transformation, the Gray Corpse's bodies were quite tough, and each possessed a variety of inherent magic, so Ling's attacks were unable to overwhelm them. After the first wave of surprise attacks, not many enemies were defeated. But...
As the commander of the followers and the defender charged with protecting and supporting them, Ling was responsible for restraining more than two-thirds of the Gray Corpses and could be said to be the biggest contributor to maintaining the balance of power.
Because of her, Ryuutarou and Shizuku can focus on the future without any worries.
At this moment, Ling's eyes turned to Huili.
When her eyes turned to her, Huili's expression suddenly changed.
The bell can protect and support.
Her eyes were full of confidence, self-confidence and composure. This made Huili...
"Don't get carried away... Ling!"
Veins popped on her forehead as she seethed with rage, and her voice trembled with anxiety.
Ling smiled happily at her reaction.
Because she knew that Huili could no longer ignore her.
To Eri, she was no longer an insignificant existence. She could finally become an "enemy" that made her anxious.
"I can destroy that petty barrier in one go!"
To Eri, Suzu's smile was nothing short of a challenge. To shatter that smile and the barrier along with it, Eri leaped into the air.
