The Warrior of Love

In addition to the protection of armament color, the resistance that comes with divinity is more important.

As Jiang Liu's physical quality continued to improve, the influence of the divine factor became more and more profound, which was why he, a living person born in the 21st century, would gain "anti-magic power".

"Brother!" Ritsuka became anxious when he saw this scene, "Emergency treatment!"

The master's ceremonial attire of Chaldea shone for a moment, and a warm current rushed into Jiang Liu's body. The pain in his body was instantly relieved a lot, and the burns on his body also improved visibly.

All I can say is that Leonardo da Vinci’s technology is truly amazing.

After the battle just now, many monsters were accidentally injured by Daitengu, and with those knocked down by Mashu and Tsuda, there were only a few small monsters left on the battlefield besides Daitengu. Now that they saw Daitengu defeated, they fled without hesitation - and then they were killed by Tsuda.

These little demons really don't have high IQs as they dare to show their backs to a swordsman of this level.

“Ugh… Damn it!”

Da Tengu propped himself up and crawled up from the ground little by little, staring at Jiang Liu fiercely.

"A mere human... damn... damn fellow!"

The drum on his waist was broken, but the staff was still in his hand. It turned a few times and suddenly grew and deformed, turning into a nearly four-meter-long naginata. Combined with his three-meter-tall burly figure, it gave off a very oppressive feeling.

The injuries on his body didn't seem to affect him. The monster's physique meant that he could ignore ordinary skin injuries as long as there was no internal organ damage.

"I admit that you have some ability. You can even withstand thunder and lightning. However, the more you can withstand thunder and lightning, the greater the threat you pose to the Master. You cannot be allowed to continue living in this world... Give me your life!"

Chapter 111: Tengu Mask

call--

The sharp naginata chopped down fiercely, but the burly stature did not affect Daitengu's agility. Instead, it greatly increased his attack range. The combination of his arms and the four-meter-long naginata allowed him to launch an attack at a distance that was far beyond the reach of Jiang Liu's sword.

Each move was full of open and close movements, but there was no flaw at all. Long weapons like the naginata would have a disadvantage in terms of turning and flexing, but this weakness did not exist for Daitengu. He even gave up on flexing his steps, and only used neat and strict swordsmanship to press forward step by step without any flaws.

Rather than being an ancient military commander, it is more like a chariot on a modern battlefield, and its destructive power is just as great.

No matter whether it was a tree that required several people to hug or a rock that was one person tall, the naginata could easily cut them in half, and the movement of the great Tengu was not hindered at all, as if it was just skimming across the water.

Although the realm and style are very different, and the weapon types are also completely opposite, Jiang Liu has to admit that this is a very powerful warrior.

It is said that among the Tengu there are mountain gods who are proficient in martial arts and military tactics, which are very different from ordinary monsters. Even the famous Minamoto no Yoshitsune learned all his skills from Tengu. It seems that the one that Jiang Liu is facing now is also a similar existence, but the camps of good and evil are reversed.

Jiang Liu is not a robot with unlimited physical strength. Although he did not get injured when dealing with the miscellaneous soldiers before, he also consumed a lot of physical strength. Now he is engaged in a tug-of-war with Daitengu, and he feels more and more exhausted, and his movements are a little slow.

Besides, without wearing armor, Jiang Liu was not at an advantage in terms of physical ability when facing the Great Tengu, whose attributes were comparable to those of the top three servants.

"Matthew!"

Ritsuka saw that Jiang Liu had not yet resolved the battle, and the worried girl shouted to her companions.

"There's no need to talk about fairness with this evil heretic. Go ahead and help my brother beat him to death!"

"Eno!"

The sub-servant girl nodded, but was stopped by Tsuda as soon as she moved.

"Hey!" Ritsuka said unhappily, "What do you mean?"

Tsuda watched the fight in the arena seriously, and said without turning his head: "Don't be so anxious, trust your brother - the winner will be decided soon."

"The victory has been decided!"

Da Tengu advanced step by step, and his momentum continued to rise with the battle, while Jiang Liu was gradually suppressed. In such an unbalanced situation, it finally came to the moment of deciding life and death.

"drink!"

With a momentum that seemed to split the earth in half, the broad naginata dropped from above like a dragon.

This may be the simplest move - downward slash, but just like Iai is just a slash with the sword, the complexity of the move does not increase the power. On the contrary, the simpler the move, the more incredible power it can be given.

The momentum reached its peak, and the moment it erupted, it was like a waterfall falling from the sky, which was simply beyond human control.

As the target of this attack, Jiang Liu, who was not as tall as Tengu, leaned forward slightly, almost half-kneeling on the ground, appearing even shorter. Under the blade, he seemed even more fragile than a candle in the wind.

"Zheng——"

He did not draw his sword, but the sound of golden sword rang out of nowhere. Jiang Liu grasped the scarlet Immortal Sword with his backhand, his eyes suddenly opened, and the invisible field covered everything in the space.

When the naginata was about to fall on his head, the sharp blade was accurately engraved on the junction of the naginata head and body, and the fierce friction emitted burning sparks.

He used his waist to twist his body to avoid the powerful blow from Daitengu. His body was as fast as lightning. With a turn of his wrist, he chopped down the naginata that had not been retracted with an extremely sharp blow. The landing point was exactly at the place of combination, corresponding to the previous knife mark!

"Break!"

With Jiang Liu's loud shout, the mighty naginata broke, and Jiang Liu's shout mixed with mental shock shook Daitengu's soul.

The weapon was broken, and his mind was distracted by the sudden impact. Even a monster of Daitengu's level could not help but feel dizzy.

Although it was only a split second, when he came to his senses, his shoulders suddenly sank.

Stepping on the broken naginata pole, Jiang Liu climbed onto Daitengu's shoulders in two steps. A cold look flashed in his eyes, and he stabbed the blade at his neck without hesitation!

The spine and arteries were severed together, and the scarlet immortal slash even penetrated through the heart, completely strangling Daitengu's life.

"Well!"

The burly body shook violently, and when Jiang Liu pulled out the blade, red blood gushed out like a fountain. The big Tengu shook twice and then fell down with a bang.

"Ahem... um... Damn it, did I lose..."

Da Tengu said with difficulty to Jiang Liu who was looking down at him.

"However, human warrior... I admit your strength, but you can't defeat the "master"... absolutely! Monsters like me are just consumables to the master... There are many people who are stronger than me... Edo, that will be your death place!"

After saying this, before Jiang Liu could ask some questions, Da Tengu's body suddenly dissipated into countless spiritual lights, leaving only a red long-nosed mask.

Unlike other monsters that leave behind corpses after death, Daitengu seems to have originally been in the form of a spirit.

"The little monsters were recruited from this world, but officers like Tengu were summoned? He has the ability to summon monsters, but he chose monsters... That master is probably also a monster, or an evil Onmyoji?"

Although Jiang Liu wanted to look for a possible "master" among the characters that appeared in FGO from his memory, he gave up because he couldn't find any clues after thinking about it.

This singularity does not seem to have appeared in the original plot of FGO, so it is possible that it is a strange enemy.

Even if a character has appeared in the original plot, the setting in reality may not be the same as in the game, which may lead to misjudgment.

"Ahhhh, what an amazing technique."

Tsuda clapped his hands and walked over, saying sincerely: "The crisp and neat body movements and swordsmanship are like flying snow, which makes people unable to help but indulge in it. If there is a chance, I wonder if Mr. Yuanshan can spar with me?"

"Let's talk about it when we get to Edo." Jiang Liu lightly ignored Tsuda's challenge and bent down to pick up the mask left by Daitengu.

Does this count as equipment dropping from monsters?

I just don’t know what properties this mask has, or if it’s just an ordinary ornament.

"Brother! Brother!"

Lixiang trotted over happily and hugged Jiang Liu's right arm skillfully. The softness of her chest squeezed his arm, and the touch made Jiang Liu's body tremble slightly, but Lixiang didn't seem to notice and looked very happy.

"Brother, you are really the best!"

"Nothing, this guy is also very powerful, I just happen to be a little bit stronger than him."

"Don't be so modest. You were so handsome just now. Even as your sister, I am almost fascinated by you, hehe."

After playing around for a while, Ritsuka straightened his clothes, looked at the tragic scene around him that was like a Shura field, and frowned.

"Mashu, bro, and... uh, Mr. Tsuda. This place is too uncomfortable. Since we are not far from Edo, let's hurry up and try to arrive early."

Chapter 112: The Innkeeper in Edo

"rustle……"

The sand rubs against the steel, and the dry gravel carries the breath of the sun, giving the being lying on it an ultimate enjoyment.

Although most monsters are nocturnal, darkness or light doesn't matter to him at his level, so he really likes sunbathing.

In the hot summer, he stretched his whole body out to expose it to the sun. Obviously, the moisture was evaporating and the evil spirit in his body would gradually thin out. But just like some people are addicted to slight pain, he also likes being baked by the sun, which makes him feel hazy and trance-like.

"You are so leisurely, father." A frivolous and sweet voice sounded, causing him to slightly open his eyelids, revealing pupils as bright red as berries.

"Oh, my beloved daughter... why are you not staying in the city but coming here?"

"Haha, it sounds like Father doesn't seem to be interested."

"Maybe it's the burnout period. Once I get lazy, I can't help but want to sleep and don't want to care about anything."

"But once father falls asleep, he will be asleep for a hundred years, which is a very long time. I really can't let you do whatever you want. Otherwise, if something really happens, I won't be able to notify you - just like now."

"Oh?"

Only then did he open his eyes completely and looked at his "beloved daughter" with a little surprise.

"Is there a problem in the city that you can't handle?"

He was well aware of her strength. Although she was not as strong as himself, she was still at the top among many monsters. In this era of mysterious decline, she was invincible. It was hard to imagine that she would encounter a problem that forced her to come for help.

Or……

"Could it be that he finally showed up?" A cold light flashed in his red eyes. "My beloved daughter, is this what you want to report?"

"Yes, father. The humans you saw have finally appeared. The spiritual vein that was left behind has now been found by them. After dealing with the guardian of the spiritual vein, they are heading towards Edo. Maybe they have already entered the city now."

"Spiritual veins... come to think of it, the guardian is "Da Tengu", right? I remember him, although he is not very strong, his personality is quite interesting."

"Ah, he is one of the Four Heavenly Kings after all. What a pity."

"That kind of thing doesn't matter. What do you think about the group of travelers who jumped from the other side of time? My beloved daughter."

"Ideas? There is no other possibility except to kill them all."

The woman smiled and said, "Isn't this a natural development between humans and monsters?"

"Then you have to be careful. Humans are the weakest but also the most dangerous creatures..."

"Father, do you have any other instructions? If not, I will take care of all those humans."

"I believe in you, my beloved daughter. From now on, all the monsters in the city will be led by you. If you lead them, no matter how cunning the human is, they will die."

"all?"

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly: "Father, are you saying that "that" will also obey my orders?"

"Who knows? Even as a father I can't completely control that person."

The eyelids slowly closed, the red light disappeared, and the sound of rumbling thunder came loudly.

"But there is one thing I can guarantee... My beloved daughter, you must never be careless, even if the opponent is a human. Being cautious ten thousand times is never too much, but being reckless and dying once is too much..."

-

It might seem close on the map that Chaldea explored, but in reality, because most of the roads were mountainous, Jiang Liu and others did not arrive outside Edo Castle until the next afternoon.

"What an ominous aura!"

Before entering the city, Tsuda became serious. Jiang Liu, who was more sensitive, looked even uglier than him. Even Ritsuka, an "ordinary person", subconsciously avoided entering the city and just wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible.

"The demonic aura is almost visible to the naked eye."

Tsuda said solemnly: "Compared to the one I encountered in the mountains... it's completely different."

"This is not a level that a few hundred monsters can reach." Jiang Liu frowned, "If you take the initiative to go in, it will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth."

Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other. They believed in the judgment of Jiang Liu and the others, but they also asked questions to Chaldea at the same time.

“This is an extremely concentrated negative emotion.”

This time it was not Roman's voice that came out, but an ethereal, pleasant but slightly frivolous female voice.

"If magic power is transformed from life force, then negative emotions are the residue left after the soul dissipates... Something terrible must have happened in this city."

"Da Vinci-chan, what's going on with this city? Shouldn't Edo be the center of this era? Even if it was destroyed, there wouldn't be no news at all," Mash asked hurriedly.

However, the answer given by Leonardo da Vinci was unexpected.

"Edo is not destroyed. According to the detection results, there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary humans living in this city. There is absolutely no sign that they have died or are dying."

"Ugh?"

"What's strange is how so many ordinary people and such a strong negative energy can live in peace... Ritsuka, don't worry about it, just go in first."

Da Vinci said firmly: "Although there may be danger, this city is undoubtedly the root of the distortion of the times, and it also hides a huge secret. My intuition tells me that as long as I can solve this secret, I can successfully repair the singularity."

"Since Leonardo da Vinci has said so, there is nothing we can do."
