The Warrior of Love

The three-legged divine bird cried, but human ears were completely unable to capture the ancient mysterious sound. It sounded like a silent old movie.

Instead of dodging, he flew down towards the Sun King.

It flapped its wings, rolling up a sea of ​​fire and dragging it behind its wings, as if pulling the entire sky and plunging the world into destruction.

Finally, the Mecha God of Light and the Divine Bird of the Sun collided with each other, and in an instant the world fell into darkness - and then it was filled with light!

Everything was bleached into the purest nothingness, and everything was drowned in the overly strong light...

Phew—bang!

His whole body was steaming, with only half of the demon armor left on his body. Jiang Liu, who was almost unrecognizable due to the burns, fell to the ground like a bird with a broken wing, leaving a huge pit.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

But it was just a miserable appearance. Although it was a serious injury to Jiang Liu, it was not "fatal".

At least, he failed to force out his magic "Trial of the Overlord".

"Even the Sun King can't do it? That was a close call just now."

He barely crawled out from the bottom of the pit. The stirred clouds in the sky had not yet subsided, because a large amount of heat energy was released when the Sun King and the Golden Crow annihilated each other. The sky was now like purgatory, the atmosphere was distorted by the heat, and the light and shadows flickered as a result.

This aerial battlefield has already formed an energy field similar to a domain, which cannot be dissipated within at least half a month. It is an absolute forbidden zone for life.

It was truly a scene like a natural disaster!

After searching carefully for a while, Jiang Liu still couldn't find the fox girl, and frowned secretly.

"If we can't catch her this time, it will only cause more trouble next time... Tsk! Where did she come from?"

That man is very strong, there is no doubt about that.

The total amount of her magic power exceeds that of an individual, reaching the level of a "Spiritual Vein". Fighting her is like fighting a life form of a higher level. Even though she is not good at fighting - this can be detected as soon as they fight, she can still exert a strength far beyond that of a top-level Servant.

According to Chaldea's standards, this should be the combat power of a possessed god, and it is of very high purity, retaining most of the combat power.

It is said that the Heroic Spirits of the Age of Gods were often more powerful than their Servant state during their lifetime, and this era seems to be when the Age of Gods has not yet completely faded, so is that why such extraordinary existences appear?

-

"He actually survived? That man."

The fox girl escaped from Jiang Liu's detection range by using a technique similar to "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch". She gritted her teeth and looked like she was unwilling to give up.

However, she now looked very miserable. Most of her luxurious robes were destroyed, and the degree of her exposure would be considered too "liberal" even in later generations. Her skin, which should have been extremely delicate, was covered in burnt and charred color.

The veil had long been thrown away, revealing a gloomy yet mature and beautiful face.

Just as Jiang Liu had guessed, this person had nothing to do with Tamamonomae's family, and that face did not resemble Tama at all.

"But this is just the beginning, I won't give up..."

The fox girl raised her head and looked towards the boundless sky, with a mad arc appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"My husband... you abandoned me so easily. Do you think this is the end? No, it won't end! I won't stop until the world you cherish is completely destroyed!"

Chapter 240: No fight, no deal

"Eh? Miss Aku Hinako?!"

The pink-haired girl with side bangs let out a surprised cry, startling the birds in the forest.

"How will you be here?"

"Huh, Akagi Hinako? What is that?"

Faced with Mashu's question, the beautiful girl with slender curves looked three parts confused and seven parts annoyed.

"You guys, don't try to get close to me because you think I'm easy to talk to. Humans are not allowed to enter my territory. Get out of here!"

Her long, satin-smooth black hair was almost as tall as her. Her slender figure was as ethereal and elegant as an elf. Her gorgeous dancer-style clothing made her look like a fairy. As for her appearance...even girls like Mashu and Ritsuka couldn't help but hold their breath.

However, despite her extraordinary appearance, the girl's inner self is far from being as elegant and noble as she appears. Instead, she is quite irritable and easily angered. She wants to fight with someone as soon as she appears on the stage.

Judging from the situation, the chances of a fight breaking out over a disagreement are quite high...

Princess Saber Pingyang stood with her sword in hand, her narrow eyes narrowed. If the "fairy" made any unusual movement, she would swing her sword to kill her without hesitation.

But before that, there is a problem that needs to be solved.

"Who is Akagi Hinako? Mashu, do you know this young lady?"

Ritsuka pulled Mashu, looking very curious.

"Um, yes, I know this lady." Mashu pursed her lips and looked down at the little white beast she was holding against her chest.

"Actually, Fufu-san also knows him."

"Fu——"

"Ugh?"

"Well, actually..."

Mashu leaned over and whispered in Ritsuka's ear, and the black-haired, blue-eyed girl was lost in thought for a moment and then suddenly realized something.

"So that's what happened."

"Yes, although the image has changed a lot, I should be right... But is this just a coincidence? Or is he a so-called 'Follower' like Mr. Second?" Mashu was a little confused.

On the other side, Jie Hinako, no, Yu Ji was already getting impatient.

"Hey, what are you whispering about? You're sneaking around like that, and you're obviously not a good person!"

A personality that exploded like a raging fire, and the magic power that matched that personality, rose up in this wilderness in an instant.

"I have already warned you in advance, so don't blame me. I am sad, and you are courting death by barging in and disturbing me without permission!"

Magic power materialized from the void into two straight and slender swords. Their styles were very different from today's swords, but their power was obviously not comparable to that of ordinary iron.

Lines of red lotus fire wrapped around it, making the sword edge look even more dangerous and beautiful.

"watch out!"

“Ah… eh?”

"Lord, be careful!"

"senior!"

"Fu——"

A pretty intense battle.

It should be noted that at the beginning, Yu Ji had no intention of killing anyone.

Although for some reason she has been in a bad temper recently and is like a powder keg that can explode at any time, she is not actually a bloodthirsty person.

This "fairy" is essentially not evil.

The spirits of nature are similar to the "True Ancestors" of another world in terms of life level. They are born immortal and have no fixed appearance. Their current body was specially "created" to match someone.

During the Age of Gods, when Great Yu unified the Nine Provinces and ended the troubled times and ushered in the prelude to the human dynasty, all kinds of monsters and immortals fled from the world, and the transcendent life forms that were once seen everywhere have now become rare.

Yu Ji, she is a relic of the previous era (so she is actually an old woman).

Unexpectedly, she did not enter the world or migrate with her companions, but stayed where she was and fell asleep. When she began to come into contact with this world, the things she saw were far from what she was familiar with...

Wandering in the world as a special and independent individual, she has never been accepted by any group and has never thought of getting close to others. She is like a ghost that has lost its shadow, wandering alone and lonely in the world for countless years.

It wasn't until she met a certain man that her mind subtly changed...but that's a story for later.

In short, she is very strong, and because of her long period of solitary wandering life, she almost never actively communicates with outsiders, and her mind is quite pure and sensitive.

She was very shy and at first she just wanted to teach Ritsuka and the others a lesson, and did not bring up the topic of life and death.

But as the battle progressed, this thought gradually disappeared, replaced by unprecedented prudence.

So strong!

——This feeling is not only shared by Ritsuka and the others, but also by Yu Ji.

Humanity?

Definitely not. How could a guy who could fight me to a draw be a simple human being?

That should be a pure aggregation of magical power. Although there seems to be some mention of similar existence, it is a pity that I have never cared much about the changes in the outside world. This is the first time I have seen a real "Servant", and the other party came to my door on his own initiative.

In terms of individual combat power alone, there is not much difference between Yu Ji and Princess Pingyang in the servant state. Both are top-notch servants, but fighting is not a matter for one person alone. Although Yu Ji is alone, Chaldea has always believed in the saying "strength in numbers".

Under Mashu's cover, Princess Pingyang successfully suppressed Yu Ji, allowing her to vent her anger until she calmed down.

Maybe it really is true that there is no deal without fighting. After the battle, no one knows what Li Xiang said, but she and Yu Ji quickly put aside their grudges...

By the way, I also heard from Yu Ji the story between her and Xiang Yu, as well as the story that happened some time ago.

In fact, the matter is very simple: Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang was getting old and confused, and Yu Ji couldn't bear to see Xiang Yu being framed like this, so she stepped forward and exposed the true identity of a certain "goddess".

But in the process, she inevitably revealed her own strength, and the soldiers regarded her as a non-human and kept away from her. It would have been fine if it was just that, but Xiang Yu actually had a conflict with Yu Ji because of Xiang Liang.

In the end, it was entirely Yu Ji's own impulsiveness that made her run away, but it is undeniable that Xiang Yu seemed to regard his responsibility (orders) as more important than anything else, even if it was Yu Ji - this made her very angry!

"Really? You have no sympathy at all!"

Unexpectedly, the one who complained was not Yu Ji herself, but Ritsuka who looked very angry.

"How about this, you come with me, and we'll go to Shouchun to settle accounts with Xiang Yu!"

"Ugh?"

"Don't worry, I'm on the same side with you!"

In this way, in addition to the approximately one thousand refugees, Ritsuka gained another companion.

Chapter 241: Xiang Yu's Melancholy

"How is this going?"

Xiaoyu opened her mouth wide and looked at Jiang Liu, who was covered in scars, in disbelief, feeling both distressed and puzzled.

"This injury..."

"I met a great character."

Jiang Liu smiled stubbornly: "But I still beat her away."

"Yeah, I was also shocked. Judging from the traces on the battlefield, if it weren't for Mr. Jiang Liu's help, I wouldn't be able to deal with that monster on my own."

Xiang Yu, who had changed into his normal clothes, said in a deep voice, "Before this, I had no idea that the goddess had such a powerful strength. That person is really too dangerous."

When Xiang Yu thought about the existence of this kind of person who could destroy a country at will and once lived in Shouchun City, he was terrified.

"Really? If you can't win, just run away. Why do you have to make yourself like this?"

Xiaoyu pursed her lips. She felt distressed but also a little angry at Jiang Liu. She probably felt that he didn't know how to cherish his body.

"No matter how strong you are, you are just a human with flesh and blood. You only have one life, so you must protect yourself well!"

"Miss Xiaoyu is right."

Chen Gong came in from the side door holding two bamboo slips and suggested with interest.

"In that case, Mr. Jiang Liu, are you interested in upgrading your current body?"

"upgrade?"

"From fragile flesh to indestructible steel, with all kinds of powerful weapons! Please trust my skills, this is not the first time I have done this, I have a lot of experience. Now, you only need to click, and you will have the opportunity to experience the body of steel!"

Looking at Chen Gong's smile that couldn't hide his joy, a drop of cold sweat slid down Jiang Liu's forehead, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Or... let's not do it."

"Oh? That's a pity." Chen Gong felt a little sad. "When will I be able to meet my own "Flying General"? Without a suitable partner, the military advisor cannot fully exert his abilities. Sigh."

That kind of lonely look made people feel sorry for him, and Jiang Liu just felt a little sympathetic towards him, but his next words immediately broke the atmosphere.

"Besides, there are too few chess pieces available, which is really a headache."

Jiang Liu: “…”

Although this person looks serious, he must be terrible inside.

"Wait a moment, I will treat you."
