The Warrior of Love

However, what was waiting for them there was not cooled stone, but a giant that emerged from the storm of fire and could flatten a pass with every step!

No, that cannot be called a human being.

It is obviously not made of flesh and blood, but is made of some white substance similar to gum. Neither swords nor arrows can cause any harm to it, and its body is a full hundred feet tall!

Although it has a structure similar to limbs, there are no obvious joints. A huge red eye is opened in the "head", and every time it flashes, it releases a mysterious light that is enough to destroy the fortress.

It is impossible to communicate with words, nor can it be countered with any existing means. It is like the embodiment of a natural disaster.

Could it be a god from outer space?

The general who had conquered countless cities was helpless in the face of this monster and even had such absurd ideas.

An entire army of 10,000 people was completely annihilated in less than half an hour.

However, even so, the giant did not stop. It followed its instinct and moved northward, destroying countless villages and towns along the way. Even the big city in the center of a county or a state was not spared.

Finally, it arrived at the northernmost and outermost defense line of the empire and saw the undulating alternative city wall and the guard corps gathered there.

That was a wall that was built under the command of someone's will and with the strength of the entire country. It was not just a single stone building, but a magical position built on the ground based on the route provided by the sorcerer.

The veins of countless mountains and rivers were blocked just to build this indestructible wall.

Since the mythological era, no battlefield built by imitating the methods of immortals has been of such a scale, and in fact it does have the concept of "absolute defense".

However, even the leader of the guarding corps probably didn't expect that the strongest enemy this position faced would come from within rather than from outside...

It was an arduous battle, and even with the support of fortifications that were close to the immortal level, they were unable to truly resist the towering giant. When the defense line was breached, the spiritual veins of the entire northern land were also left with irreparable damage.

Even if it can be rebuilt in the future, it will never be perfect.

However, as the price of breaking through the city wall, most of the giant's power was consumed, and he was even unable to maintain his mountain-like shape.

At this time, the "beacon" sent out by the guard corps was also transmitted back to the imperial capital. After analyzing the coordinates and the transmitted information, the supreme being sitting in the deepest part of the palace used the mysterious power called "sword" for the first time.

There was another meteor, brighter than the previous red star. The golden light dispelled the darkness, proclaiming to the whole world the dominance of one person. It eventually crossed the barriers of thousands of mountains and rivers and completely wiped out the weak giant god!

Everything will return to the starting point.

The destroyed land will grow crops again with the care of time, the barren land will welcome humans migrating from other parts of the empire, the broken city walls and spirit veins will be repaired bit by bit, and the guardian corps will be reorganized again.

For this planet, or the people living on this land, the visit of the giant god is a major event worthy of being included in history books, but that's all.

As long as it is not completely destroyed, the long river of time will continue to move forward, and the remaining people will continue to live, just like weeds after a wildfire.

They like to keep records to remind themselves of the past, but at the same time they will not be bound by the past.

Survive, continue, prosper - this is the mark engraved from the beginning.

This collective consciousness is like an unstoppable wheel, allowing them to recover from any disaster, and this time will be no exception.

——This is how it should be.

The next year, the aging Supreme was unable to resist his fate and died on his way to inspect the world.

It was also this year that the world was in turmoil. The order maintained by powerful forces collapsed in an instant, like a small boat without its load, swaying in the wind and waves.

However, in the third year, outside the northern defense line, where the giant fell, a new life was quietly born.

It imitated the appearance of the local residents and learned their culture and language. This was its first form.

Full of curiosity about the outside world, it entered the world inside the Great Wall through a loophole left by the "Original Body" and began to learn new culture.

However, on this earth at this time, all it could learn was war and everything related to it.

——That’s the problem.

Originally, it was supposed to meet someone somewhere and stop its own "awakening" by its own death.

But it didn't come across.

Then, dominated and transformed by the war, it returned to its northern homeland, and completely changed the course of history.

In the fourth year after history was changed, the guardians of humanity descended from a distant time and space on this chaotic land...

Chapter 226: Animal ears and stuff, the best

[Okay, let's move to the land of China before Christ. Because the magic base of this place is completely independent, the Chaldean spirit particle transfer technique is almost useless... Speaking of which, Ritsuka, do you know anything about China? ]

"By the way, Senior is from the Far East. I remember that the Far East culture is very similar to Chinese civilization."

"Well, it's true that we have a deep connection, but if I were to say I understand... I'm just more interested in Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West."

"Oh, those two famous legendary novels, right?"

[No, Mashu, you made a small mistake here. Journey to the West is undoubtedly the most famous Chinese and world-renowned mythological novel, but Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not.

What you are referring to should be "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "Records of the Three Kingdoms" is an official historical record at the time, but it is also highly literary. 】

Roman said in a slightly ostentatious tone:

[However, Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Records of the Three Kingdoms also appeared during the Jin dynasty. Now is the Qin dynasty, nearly 500 years ago. Well, to be precise, it is the end of the Qin dynasty, so the knowledge you learned from Romance of the Three Kingdoms is of little use here.]

"I've learned a lot from you, the doctor. I've heard of the name of this empire, Qin. His Majesty the famous 'Emperor' is even more famous than that, and he was even a great man who was featured in the Heroic Spirit Magazine."

[Ah, speaking of China, I can't help but think of——]

"Panda!"

Lixiang suddenly began to breathe hotly, and an abnormal blush appeared on his face.

"I heard that in China, everyone can keep a Panda as a pet!"

"Senior, anyway, it shouldn't have come to this point. It's a very rare protected species."

[Uh, the giant pandas of this era should still be ordinary wild animals, not as rare as in later generations... I'm getting off topic! ]

Roman complained, a little overwhelmed.

[The situation of this singularity is very special. It does not seem to be caused by the burning of human nature, but it is indeed shaking the foundation of human history. Therefore, your mission this time is not to find the Holy Grail, but to find the cause of the changes in this era and try to repair it. ]

"Anyway, let's summon the Heroic Spirit first!"

Ritsuka rubbed his hands together and said, "I wonder if I can summon a heroic spirit related to Panda?"

Mashu was speechless and said, "No, where can we find such a strange Heroic Spirit?"

[You better hurry up and do it... Well, this is China where the Age of Gods has not yet completely faded. There is a good quality spiritual vein nearby. You can summon it right here.]

With Mashu's shield, the summoning circle became secondary. The summoning ritual was quickly ready, and Ritsuka stretched out his right hand and began to chant.

It might be a heroic spirit with a connection to this land. I hope it’s a cute girl—

"Buzz!"

The golden light dissipated, and a graceful figure appeared in the summoning circle, causing Ritsuka and Mashu to open their eyes wide in surprise.

"Senior is actually right, she really is a girl... So beautiful, no, so... handsome?"

The appearance of this servant that appeared was so exquisite that even Mashu, who was also a woman, was amazed. However, her stern temperament diluted the feminine beauty and instead made her look heroic. Her extremely special charm made Ritsuka and Mashu blush.

She wore a scarlet long skirt paired with a black tube top with red stripes. The loose cuffs at her wrists were bound with metal wrist guards, and she wore a pair of leather boots. There were no extra decorations or jewelry on her body, and even her long skirt was changed into a tight style for easy movement.

This is the result of personalized transformation of the traditional costume called "Palace Costume", and a sense of women being as good as men comes across.

The inky black hair should be quite long, but it was turned into an elegant bun, with only a scarlet hairpin to secure it.

The light red eyes examined Ritsuka, and the slender white hand was always on the hilt of the sword until he was sure of something, then he nodded and let go.

"Sabero, daughter of the Li family, has come as summoned. Is your Excellency my Lord?"

"Oh...Oh oh! Yes!"

Ritsuka happily held out his hand: "My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, I'm a Master, please give me your guidance."

-

"Hey? Where is this?"

Jiang Liu looked around with a confused look on his face.

"Why is it the wilderness? Shouldn't I have been summoned by Ritsuka?"

After carefully checking the records on the "Universal Codex", I found a strange message during the transfer process:

[Special space-time vibrations detected, abnormal information flow, transfer phenomenon blocked, self-adjustment, coordinates re-determined...]

"Abnormal information... I don't understand."

Jiang Liu frowned: "But it seems that I was "pushed out" by others?"

Holy shit, what the hell did Ritsuka summon...

Brother, I'm so worried. No, I must find her quickly!

This is in the Celestial Empire of Type-Moon, and it was the end of the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. You never know what kind of monsters and demons might appear!

But then again, where on earth is this place? There's no signpost or anything...

“Ah… Help! Help! I’m dying, I’m dying!”

Just as Jiang Liu was hesitating, bursts of exclamations came from afar. Although the distance was still far, Jiang Liu could hear them clearly with his hearing.

His eyes focused, and he disappeared from the spot with a move of his feet. The next time he appeared, he was already a hundred meters away. And this was just an afterimage. In the blink of an eye, dozens of afterimages appeared almost at the same time. Jiang Liu could be said to have shortened the distance to an inch, and quickly arrived at the scene of the incident.

"Roar--"

“Migu! I’m going to die, I’m dead now! Wuuuuuu, don’t eat me, I’m not delicious!”

With a quick glance, he saw a petite girl, who seemed only twelve or thirteen years old, covered in a white cloak. She was screaming in fear and dodging the monster behind her.

The voice sounded familiar, but Jiang Liu was sure it was not someone he knew.

The monster chasing the girl made Jiang Liu raise his eyebrows, as if he had seen something interesting.

It was actually a "dragon"!

However, it is not the Western dragon commonly seen in other singularities, but an Eastern-style dragon snake with the body of a giant snake and horns on its head... Strictly speaking, this should not be a real dragon, but a monster with dragon blood.

Even so, the magical reaction it exudes is far beyond that of magical beasts such as wyverns, and is comparable to top-level dragon species such as Fafnir!

The girl was able to escape from such a monster. She doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.

"Ah!"

Faced with this situation, Jiang Liu naturally chose to help the girl, but he did not "draw his sword to help". Instead, he used his latest ability.

"Get out of the way, little girl!"

"Ugh?"

When the little girl heard this, she saw Jiang Liu standing beside her. She raised her head blankly and did not make any move to dodge.

Jiang Liu smiled slightly, and without further hesitation, he stretched out his right hand and released a thick and deep black mist.

No, it's much heavier than mist and closer to liquid form.

Black fog burst out, passed over the little girl's head, and pounced on the pursuing dragon like a sky curtain.

"Roar!"

The evil dragon reacted quickly, opening its mouth and spewing out scorching flames, trying to break through the black fog that seemed to have no power.

However, the raging flames that could easily melt rocks disappeared after entering the black fog, just like a black cat entering the darkness, melting away naturally without causing any ripples.

The evil dragon showed a dumbfounded "expression" in a very human way, and immediately turned around and wanted to escape. Jiang Liu was slightly startled when he saw this: This guy is not stupid.

He originally wanted to kill the dragon, but he immediately changed his mind. The black mist that was rushing towards the dragon suddenly twisted and condensed into several solid chains. The chains penetrated through layers of space and caught up with the dragon at lightning speed. After a few twists and turns, he tied it up tightly.

"Dark Binding!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The dragon naturally refused to be tied up, but as it struggled, it found that its strength was getting weaker and weaker, and the strength of the chains was increasing. It also could not use its fire-breathing abilities. Realizing that it was doomed, it could not help but show despair.

"Huh? What's going on?"

After escaping from the dragon's mouth, the little girl patted her chest in fear and looked at the dragon. After confirming that it was really unable to move, she let down her guard and looked at Jiang Liu who was slowly approaching with gratitude.

"Thank you for saving me! You really scared me. I thought I would be back to earth today... Alas."

The more I listen to this voice, the more familiar it sounds, but it's obviously different from the person in my memory.

Jiang Liu looked at the little girl hesitantly: "I am here to see injustice, no need to thank me... I am Jiang Liu, who are you?"

"Hey, don't you know me? That's right, after all, I'm just a miko of a minor deity."
