Persona: Devil Summoner

So, can this freak fusion of human and demon give me the long-lost feeling of excitement?

Suddenly, the cyan flames completely enveloped the mysterious substance that should have been Jiang Tianwei from head to toe. The blazing flames shot straight up into the sky, like a giant burning tree spreading its branches and leaves under the dark sky. The cyan quickly turned into white light, and in the distance, it seemed that countless blue swallowtail butterflies could be seen dancing with the light column.

The demon chosen by Jiang Tianwei as the fusion material is Eliger.

According to legend, he is one of the seventy-two demons summoned by King Solomon. It is said that he appears as a knight riding a black horse, and will bring love and fighting power to the summoner. At the same time, it is said that he is knowledgeable and even has the ability to see through the future and discover treasures.

It and Jiang Tianwei have a deep fate. When Jiang Tianwei invaded the simple palace that looked like a honeycomb, it was the boss that appeared. Later, it also became the main force under Jiang Tianwei.

The reason why Jiang Tianwei chose him was very simple, because he was the strongest demon among all the demons that had mounts or could be used as mounts. And... considering that Fang Zexia grew wings after fusing with Pixie, Jiang Tianwei thought, why not at least fuse with a demon that looks like a human?

When the flames died down, Jiang Tianwei looked down at his body and found no special changes. He was still wearing the same Peking Opera costumes. He touched his back and saw the same four banners. He couldn't see his face, so he didn't know if there were any changes. In short, as he expected, his appearance hadn't changed much.

As for ability...

Jiang Tianwei raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Come out! My beloved horse!"

As if in response to Jiang Tianwei's movements, the air around him was torn, twisted, and blurred. In a flash of light and shadow, a majestic black horse leaped out. Jiang Tianwei had never ridden a horse before, but at this moment, his body instinctively knew what to do, as if riding a horse was his instinct as a living being.

I grabbed the saddle and climbed up lightly. As my vision was raised, I felt a surge of joy in my heart.

Then, several pieces of metal armor appeared on Jiang Tianwei's body. The red unknown metal seemed to have life, tightly wrapping his chest, arms and legs. It fit perfectly, and he didn't even feel the restraint of the armor. A black cold steel spear hung on the side of the horse's back. Jiang Tianwei reached out and picked it up, and casually swung a spear flower.

At this moment, he was like a great general in ancient times riding a horse and wielding a sword.

Didn't that man have such a dream when he was young? Perhaps it was the Three Kingdoms, or the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there is always a legendary story that will bring a man's longing heart to that era of war and smoke.

Jiang Tianwei's mind changed, and the warhorse seemed to be a branch of his body. It perfectly followed Jiang Tianwei's will and carried it to the starting point.

The devil Hell Angel Kokoko laughed and drove his motorcycle to the starting point.

"Then let's stick to the original rules. Is there any objection?"

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing that Jiang Tianwei did not object, the devil Hell Angel picked up another stone and threw it out...

Hey.

However, the stone landed much earlier than expected! Even before the Hell Angel's hand that threw the stone reached the handlebars, the stone had already landed! Jiang Tianwei's mind changed, and the dark warhorse galloped out. In just one breath, he left the Hell Angel two horse lengths away!

"Kokoko, boy, you..."

The Hell's Angel sneered and slowly turned the motorcycle in his hand. With a rough roar from the air pipe and a few puffs of black smoke, it drove the motorcycle to chase Jiang Tianwei.

What did Jiang Tianwei do?

That's a simple little trick.

While the demon Hell Angel was throwing stones, Jiang Tianwei also swept out the spear in his hand!

The spear accurately blocked the stone's flight path in mid-air, using the flat shape of the spear blade as a racket to knock the stone down directly! For humans, this is simply a magical control. But for Jiang Tianwei now, there is no problem at all - he has the extreme reaction speed of the demon bullfighter, the calmness and rationality of the demon monk, and can accurately judge the trajectory of the stone...

The fusion with Eliger made him, who had never touched a spear or ridden a warhorse, like a veteran warrior, skilled in archery and horsemanship. With many advantages integrated, he ushered in this most important opportunity!

The devil Hell's Angel drove this motorcycle and had defeated countless enemies and opponents. He had seen countless dirty tricks on the racing track, but this was the first time he saw someone cheat in this way.

A horse and a motorcycle, one in front and one behind, galloping along the asphalt road. The warhorse's hooves crushed the ground, and the motorcycle's wheels burned to ashes. Both of them were running very fast.

The wind blows through the hair and presses across the face, and the feeling of speed that makes it hard to breathe is accompanied by the joy of speeding at lightning speed, the feeling of liberation that seems as if everything can be left behind and all worries cannot catch up with you!

“It feels so good!”.

"Kokoko, what a coincidence, I thought so too."

Just as Jiang Tianwei shouted this happily, the laughter of the Hell's Angels beside him had already caught up with him!

The race had only just begun, but the advantage Jiang Tianwei had gained by jumping the gun was easily equalized by the opponent! He was indeed a demon who was absolutely confident in his speed!

"Since you said any means are acceptable, then obstruction is also ok, right?!"

Jiang Tianwei had been prepared for a long time. Judging from its previous attack on Fang Zexia, it must be no problem to fight. Without waiting for the other party to answer, Jiang Tianwei spoke while stabbing the Hell Angel's motorcycle with the spear in his hand!

Since the other party values ​​this motorcycle so much, it would be right to destroy it first.

However, the Hell's Angels, who had long known that Jiang Tianwei would play dirty tricks, would never let him succeed so easily. As Jiang Tianwei thrust his spear forward, the Hell's Angels' motorcycle quickly moved closer to the wall, so fast that it almost stuck to the ground, with an angle of at most 30 degrees with the ground. In this strange posture, it maintained balance and the motorcycle quickly moved to the side, avoiding the attack.

Jiang Tianwei was about to give chase when he saw the wheels of the Hell's Angels getting closer and closer to the wall... In the end, the entire car ran onto the wall and ran straight along the wall!

"Do you think you're driving a four-wheel drive car?"

Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but complain that this scene looked very much like the famous scene in the 4WD animation. He didn't expect to see it in reality today.

Jiang Tianwei was a little ignorant. If he was born a few years earlier, he would have watched acrobatics. There was a motorcycle performance. If the motorcycle was driven fast enough, it could climb up the wall.

Seeing the devil Hell Angel closing the distance along the wall in one breath, Jiang Tianwei was neither anxious nor annoyed.

Because he had already noticed that the terrain ahead... was a curve.

If it was just an ordinary curve, it would be fine, but this is a U-shaped curve with a particularly large turning range, and there are six or seven U-shaped curves consecutively combined together. It looks winding and looks very much like a snake in a cartoon.

The Hell's Angels ran up the wall just to handle this curve.

If you run here normally, you have to slow down in order to turn such a tricky angle, but the Hell's Angels solved this problem perfectly by running on the wall.

Coincidentally, Jiang Tianwei was also preparing to decide the outcome here...

Since there are urgent continuous bends here, the easiest way is of course to jump over it!

Didn't we say before that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line? Why do we have to go in circles?

Cars and motorcycles have to turn obediently because they can't jump, but you are riding a war horse, so what is there to be afraid of?

Although the two people are of different species, they are thinking the same thing in their hearts at this moment:

(Overtake you in this continuous curve!).

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 141 Initial J

Fang Zexia gazed into the distance with an anxious look on her face.

From her position, she could only see the beginning and the end of the match between Jiang Tianwei and the demon Hell Angels. Not being able to see the whole process always made her extremely anxious.

At this time, the wounds on her body had been healed by the angel. She had seen the scene of Jiang Tianwei merging with the devil just now, and she was worried in her heart. Seeing that he was fine, she was relieved. But she didn't expect that the race between the two people disappeared in a blink of an eye. The advantage Jiang Tianwei had gained at the beginning was directly tied by the opponent, which made her very anxious.

According to scientists' estimates, the human eye's vision can only see about one or two hundred meters, which is already very impressive. Now the two of them have easily covered this distance. Fang Zexia tried hard to squint her eyes, but she could not see anything and could only worry.

How long had passed? Three minutes? Maybe five. From the distant driveway came the sound of galloping horses and whistles.

The Hell's Angel and Jiang Tianwei rushed over from the end of the sight one after another!

Jiang Tianwei fell behind!

Fang Zexia couldn't help but open her eyes wide in anxiety...

In the few minutes when she was not seeing, Jiang Tianwei drove the horse under him with all his strength. The horse's four hooves flew and directly jumped over the railing. It was a floating height almost like flying, and landed on the road ahead in one breath, saving a considerable distance.

After one successful jump, he would immediately try the second one... After seven or eight consecutive jumps, he saved a lot of distance in one go.

According to legend, the famous Japanese general Minamoto no Yoshitsune escaped from his defeat by jumping onto eight ships, leaving behind the legend of "Eight Ships Flying", which has brought countless creative inspirations to Japanese literature and the gaming industry. Today, Jiang Tianwei also came with a low profile.

Although the Hell's Angels avoided the problem of turning and slowing down by walking on walls, there was no way they could avoid the distance.

Although it can also jump over the bend directly like Jiang Tianwei did, the hurricane caused by [Hell's Whirl] cannot be launched continuously, especially not in a place that is too close. The winds will interfere with each other and eventually the passage will be easily blocked.

Moreover, even if you can fly "up" to a high altitude, you will still be in a free fall when you come down.

In this respect, it is far less free than the leaping of a warhorse.

His many years of racing experience made him make a judgment immediately. Even if he tried the same high jump, he would still lose speed. It would be faster to run directly against the wall. After figuring this out, he did not waver in his pace and continued to increase the speed.

After a series of turns, the Hell's Angels finally fell behind slightly, but only by one parking space...

But, after passing the curve, the next thing is a straight line...

Thick black smoke belched out of the Hell's Angel's windpipe, and the flames from its wheels burst forth. It seemed vaguely that even its skull was emitting flames...

The motorcycle caught up and surpassed Jiang Tianwei's horse in an instant...

From this we can see that in chess, there is a very scientific reason why the chariot can travel farther than the horse.

Once they reached the bend, Jiang Tianwei could overtake, but once they entered the straight, they would be left behind. The two of them kept pulling on each other on the long track until they reached the last straight, when they came into Fang Zexia's sight.

But, the Hell's Angels had an advantage in the straight line, not to mention that he was now ahead? No matter how you look at it, Jiang Tianwei's defeat was inevitable.

However, although there was a serious look on his face, he did not look nervous or anxious.

(Kokoko, that kid looks so calm and composed, could it be that he has some other tricks up his sleeve?).

The Hell's Angel saw Jiang Tianwei's face getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror. There was no sign of anxiety on his face, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart - and even felt a little expectant.

Does Jiang Tianwei have any solution?

Of course he has a way.

This person may not be considered to be extremely wise, but he has a lot of sinister thoughts.

Seeing that he could not catch up with the opponent in a straight line, Jiang Tianwei pulled the reins hard for the last time. The horse under his crotch immediately understood his partner's intention, stomped the ground with all four hooves, and jumped with all his strength for the last time!

"persona!"

In mid-air, Jiang Tianwei shouted with all his might, as if shouting at the top of his lungs would make him more focused! A silver giant appeared behind him, and quickly transformed into a large bow as he wished.

This is one of his persona forms, a long-range attack persona, codenamed Hou Yi.

In mid-air, Jiang Tianwei pulled the bow and aimed the arrow at the finish line.

Yes, no matter how you think about it, since the goals of both parties are the same, just aim here.

Although Jiang Tianwei's shooting skills were average and he couldn't aim at a moving target, so what? As long as he knew the other party's destination, he could aim there.

The highly concentrated golden energy turned into a cannon-like beam and shot toward the ground from mid-air. This bow was named after the hero who shot down the sun in the legend, so naturally it had a power commensurate with its reputation.

Just look at the asphalt road under the bombardment of this powerful light beam. The solid road surface quickly cracks and melts, turning into a viscous liquid, and then evaporated by the high heat. The straight road that originally led to the finish line was burned by Jiang Tianwei's artillery fire, leaving a huge hole that could not be crossed.

"Kokoko, kid, do you think a conspiracy of this level can work?"

The Hell's Angel sneered, and then he saw his motorcycle make a free and easy turn, and at that time he saw a blazing storm rising from the ground to the sky! And the Hell's Angel, like before, rode this fiery storm and soared into the sky.

It is true that a motorcycle cannot jump as well as a warhorse, but as long as it climbs to a high enough height, it will be fine.

and……

The Hell's Angel glanced coldly at Jiang Tianwei who was lying on the horse's back in mid-air.

Persona is the embodiment of the human spirit, so a powerful sniper attack will naturally consume a huge amount of the human spirit.

Just look at the warhorse in mid-air, losing its master's control, and diving into the firestorm... The Hell Angel took off with the wind, but Jiang Tianwei plunged into the sea of ​​fire...

“Jiang Jiang!?”.

When Fang Zexia saw Jiang Tianwei dive into the flames, she immediately became anxious. She didn't care about her own injuries and spread her wings and flew towards the finish line.

"Kokoko, it looks like I won. I'll take that body without hesitation!"

The demon Hell Angel on top of the firestorm laughed triumphantly, and a motorcycle dropped from the sky and pressed down to the ground...

However… the closer we got to the ground, the more we felt something was wrong. At the finish line, a meteorite was on fire and fell on it… the closer we got, the clearer we could see it… an irregular object that was completely red, just fell on the finish line…

"!"

Finally, the Hell's Angels saw clearly!

That's not a stone at all! That's, Jiang Tianwei? !

Wrapped in red armor, he curled up as much as possible, hugged himself into a ball, and fell to the ground.

"Kokoko - I reached the finish line first, so I won, right?"

Jiang Tianwei imitated the demon's "kokoko" laughter as if provoking him.

What happened just now? Why is Jiang Tianwei here?

The answer is actually very simple.

The Hell's Angels' special move [Hell's Whirl] can indeed create a fire storm with very high heat. Normally, humans or demons have no way of passing through it. If they want to pass through it, they will inevitably be burned by the flames. Fang Zexia is a good example.

Moreover, the terrain here is all ruins and rocks, and in the high-speed swirling tornado, it is like a grinding machine. Even if you want to break through the raging sea of ​​fire in a straight line, you will be hit by the rubble and blown away before you pass through it.

Therefore, Jiang Tianwei prepared three strategies.

One of them was Hou Yi's Sun-shooting Bow. The purpose of this attack was not only to block the Hell Angels' driving path, but more importantly, the powerful firepower directly burned all the obstructing stones and rubble around the road into muddy water! Naturally, there would be no obstructing rubble in the firestorm that followed!

The second one, of course, was to wrap his entire body in Eliger's red armor. Although metal armor has good thermal conductivity, flames cannot ignite metal in a short period of time. Without this layer of armor to protect him, his Peking Opera costume would probably catch fire as soon as he landed - physically.
