Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

Taiyi is protected by Jeanne's treasure and will definitely not be in any danger, but it is likely that none of the people outside will survive.

The moment the flag came into contact with the miasma, a golden light mixed with a hint of orange covered the entire flag and spread toward the miasma that was blocked and stopped.

There was no sound and no aftermath, the miasma was completely cleared away by the power of the flag.

[“Master, the miasma contains extremely pure divine power. Perhaps you can use it to guide it and turn it into your aid.” When the flag collided with the miasma, Jeanne sensed the essence of the core power inside the miasma through the flag, so she suggested, “Next, let me do it!”]

Taiyi didn't really understand what was going on with the purification thing.

But what should we do at this time to transform the opponent's miasma into our own assistance?

Shouldn't there be as few of these energy clusters as possible?

[“It’s the ‘backhand’.”

"If that guy goes berserk without a care in the world, or messes up before dying, the magma in this underground space will probably still erupt."

"If we prepare a few core forces with the same energy group as the opponent in advance, we may be able to use them to offset the opponent's rampage when he goes berserk."]

What Jeanne said makes sense.

It’s better to do it in advance than to regret it later.

At a time when the lava flow could erupt at any time, solving the problem of Yuan Luzhi is no longer the most important issue.

The most important thing is how to prevent the magma from erupting and let those girls leave safely.

Taiyi said that he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see his teammates... especially pretty girls, being cancelled in this game called life.

Therefore, under Jeanne's advice, Taiyi became more motivated to act.

He leaped forward and landed in one position several times, then guided Enryuchi to fire a miasma ball towards him, purified it with a flag, and left it idle for the time being to deal with Enryuchi's possible energy outburst next.

Perhaps because he felt that magic had no effect on Taiyi, Enryuchi finally put away his sickle and rushed towards Taiyi's current landing point, as if he was ready for close combat.

"Please restrain your murderous intent and control your emotions..." Taiyi kept muttering to himself, but when he looked at Yuan Ruzhi, his eyes unconsciously looked towards his neck.

He really wanted to chop off Yuan Luzhi's head and then continue to draw the knife light.

……

"Retreat!" After finally escaping from the huge tunnel, Xia immediately shouted to Sakura and the others who were surrounding the cave entrance, "The surrounding environment is too dangerous! We must evacuate the ruins of Koshi Castle immediately!"

"What's going on? What happened in there?" The trainer was a little panicked when he saw that only Kasumi, Ayane and Rachel rushed out breathlessly, and all of them were injured. "Why didn't Lord Raikou come out with you!"

"Lord Raikou is currently holding back the second Enryuchi in the underground space..." Ayane explained in a hoarse voice.

"No! Now is not the time to explain!" Rachel interrupted Ayane and quickly shouted to the crowd, "In addition to the demon snake, there is also magma in the huge space below!"

"Raikou demands that everyone evacuate immediately! There's no time to elaborate!" Rachel pulled the trainer's arm and ran out of Guzhi Castle.

"Everyone, leave at full speed! Don't hold Lord Raikou back anymore!" Ayane immediately carried Hatsuho, who had the most unstable personality present, on her shoulders, and then followed Rachel to run out of Koshi Castle.

"You don't have to drag me." Sakura saw that Kasumi had already turned her gaze towards her. Although she didn't know what had happened inside, she thought that things must be very bad, so bad that these three people who always had calm expressions in the past all looked panicked.

So Sakura and Naki followed after nodding at each other.

As for Hongye...when Rachel said the word magma, she had already followed the retreat without hesitation.

While running, Rachel and Ayane shared with everyone what happened in the underground space.

"So, this Kozhi Castle is likely to become a volcano?" Sakura asked with a pale face.

"Yes, it's very possible." Rachel nodded and replied, "But it's just a possibility. There's still Brother Raikou holding the line below... Only those who have witnessed how he slashed the demon snake with a sword will believe... that he has the ability to stop this area from developing in the direction of the volcano!"

"Honestly, that guy was so handsome when he shot the demon snake and killed Yuan Luzhi!" Rachel licked her lips and looked at Bu Lianshi, "You and Sun Shangxiang have the opportunity to marry him, it's your good fortune... Tsk, I'm almost so moved that I'm willing to share that man with you."

"I don't know what volcano is or not... I just hope that Lord Raikou can appear in front of me safely." The trainer looked behind him with a worried look on his face.

"Hey, believe in your future husband's strength." Rachel raised her eyebrows and said, "That guy's strength is the strongest among the people I know... Judging from the performance of the demon snake... or that Yuan Luzhi, she is definitely not a match for Raikou... You know, she has already performed in front of me how to kill a demon snake and kill Yuan Luzhi in half a minute.

"

Chapter 71: World Authority (Half) Successfully Obtained

"Inhale - exhale -" The infusion of divine power from the four demon snakes Yuan Luzhi finally allowed Taiyi to have a clearer perception of the connection between himself and this world.

At the very least, he can now mobilize some of the world's privileges to stop the magma that is surging to the point of exploding out of the ground.

Taiyi didn't expect that he had defended against Enryuchi's plan to die together with him using magic, but he didn't expect that after Enryuchi's death, the surge of divine power would cause further agitation in the magma flow that had already reached its limit.

If it weren't for the privilege of half the world that allowed Taiyi to make a leap forward in his control over this world, he would now have no choice but to activate Jeanne d'Arc's treasure, shrinking inside the barrier and watching the spectacular sight of the volcanic eruption.

Then after everything was over, he would go out and look for the girls' remains.

Taiyi is now working hard to expand the length and direction of the lava flow.

...To put it simply, it is to use divine power to continue digging deeper underground.

As for the tunnel leading to this underground space...it had been blocked again by Taiyi in the first place.

Otherwise, by the time he had the authority to change the terrain to prevent the formation of a volcano, the lava flow would have already rushed to the ground through the only ventilation hole.

After straightening out the lava flow, Taiyi exhaled slowly.

After confirming that there was nothing worth staying here, Taiyi stomped his feet lightly, and a stone pillar rose from the ground, slowly sending him to the top of the underground space.

At the same time, a dent began to appear on the top of Taiyi's head.

Only after a gap of more than six meters high was formed between the stone pillar where Taiyi was standing did Taiyi adjust the speed of protrusion and depression of the two to the same level.

Snake Hole is never straight forward.

So, when Taiyi reappeared under the sunlight, he found himself thousands of meters away from the ruins of Guzhi City. He could only sigh helplessly.

How many turns did he, Ayane, Kasumi, and Rachel have to make in the tunnel to get back here?

Taiyi glanced at the horseshoe prints not far away and sighed again.

The horseshoe prints were left by their group when they entered the ruins of Guzhi City.

Tai stomped his feet, and this time it was not the stone pillar that rose from the ground.

What broke through the ground and grew rapidly upwards was a sapling.

When the sapling grew to more than two meters high, another thick branch appeared under Taiyi's feet, driving Taiyi to grow rapidly towards Guzhi City.

That's right, Taiyi plans to "plant" a crooked tree here that will spread over a thousand meters.

And this tree will become a 'compass' to confirm and identify directions in the future.

The rapid approach of the towering tree had already attracted the attention of Rachel and others.

But the expressions on everyone's faces at this moment were "happy" and "relieved".

After all, anyone who has been to Jianye City has seen the big tree that is hovering at the city gate and growing recklessly in a weird posture, so they also know that this means Taiyi has returned safely.

As for why the tree grew in the direction of their retreat...there was no time to think about that!

"I'm relieved to see that you are all safe and sound." Taiyi jumped down from the tree branch, landed safely in front of Bu Lianshi and Rachel, and greeted everyone.

"This is what I should say." The trainer looked at Taiyi excitedly, and even tried to feel around. After confirming that there were no missing or extra parts on Taiyi's body, she swayed slightly and completely relaxed.

"Since you appear here, it means that Yuan Liuzhi has already..." Rachel looked at Taiyi for confirmation.

"Well, there are only four demon snakes and four Yuan Luzhi left in the world now." Taiyi replied with a thumbs up.

"Lord Raikou, are you planning to turn Kozhi Castle into a dense forest?" Ayane glanced behind Taichi and asked.

Although the tree that Taiyi was sent over had stopped growing, around the tree there were flowers, plants and some shorter saplings that were trying hard to break through the ground and grow.

"I have this idea." Taiyi nodded and replied, "After all, the city of Koshi was destroyed by the demon snake, and the underground is so dangerous. How can we not turn the surrounding area into a dense forest that will make people retreat at the sight of it?"

"Your power is growing greater and greater." Sakura looked at Taichi with emotion and praised him.

If we improve greening, the world will become more beautiful.

At the very least, it's much better than seeing a barren wasteland with no grass at all.

"Flowers, plants and trees can grow instantly...but what about rivers?" Hatsuho blinked and looked at Taichi with a kind expression, "There is a serious water shortage everywhere now. I haven't been able to take a good bath for several days."

"As for the river, we'll have to wait." Taiyi scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "It's okay if the flowers and trees grow lush and messy, but if it's a river... it's best to ask some experts who are well-versed in topography to discuss it before making a decision. I don't want to have to change the river's course one day in the future after the river is built."

"Rivers, lakes, and then the ocean! Brother Lai Guang, you are going to become a god!" Rachel patted Taiyi's shoulder and said with a look of surprise.

"It's just that after defeating Enryuchi, my understanding of the authority of this world has increased a little bit." Taiyi replied with a modest wave of his hand.

"So which direction should we chase the demon snake in next?" Seeing that the river had temporarily disappeared, Hatsuho silently sighed that her bathing plan had failed again and asked Taichi about the next itinerary.

"No, let's rest first." Taiyi shook his head and replied, "After running all the way and causing a big commotion in the underground space, Ayane, Kasumi, and Rachel should be almost exhausted by now."

"So, it would be better for us to find a place to set up camp and rest for a while."

As for the Kozhi City... it is a ruin. There are only a few buildings that appear to be intact on the surface. There are dilapidated buildings everywhere, which is not suitable for people to stay and rest.

In addition, in a sense, everyone can even be said to be standing on the crater of a volcano at this moment.

So after hearing Taichi's suggestion, Ayane, Kasumi, and Rachel all urged them to set off quickly and continue on their journey on horseback.

Anyway, they didn't plan to stay in this crappy place any longer.

"Let's chase the demon snake in the west first." Taiyi suggested, "The two in the north may fight against the demon army or the so-called fairy army, so we may not need to pay too much attention to them. The demon snake in the south is likely to cross paths with Kyushu, which may cause considerable trouble to the Mori in Kyushu. While we are chasing the demon snake in the west, we can also find out the situation of Oda-Tokugawa Territory, so as to reassure Aichi and Shibata Katsuie later."

Chapter 72: Oda Family Affairs (I)

Azuchi Castle.

I don't know if it was because the snake demon felt that this thing was too small to bother with, or for some other reason, it has never been here since it first landed.

After destroying several cities in the Great East that could be called capitals, and also destroying the fortresses near Cao Wei, Sun Wu and Shu Han, they swaggered to Guzhi City and rested in the underground magma of Guzhi City.

But Taira no Kiyomori woke them up from their hibernation, and they were entangled by a troublesome little insect. After losing one more, four of the snakes decided to find their own places to go. Anyway, they would not hibernate in this old place that had been discovered.

One of them goes straight west...

Like other local warlords, Oda Nobunaga was ecstatic with his army early in the morning because of the profits to be made from the chaos in the world and even the hope of competing for the position of overlord, long before the appearance of the demon snake.

After the arrival of the demon snake, the battle situation became more and more chaotic, and the Oda family's troops were scattered.

As a result, the latest information received by Azuchi Castle about the expeditionary force was the letter containing his death wish that Akechi Mitsuhide sent back several months ago.

Oda Nobunaga's whereabouts were unknown due to the poor protection of the Mahui people.

The person who now lives in Azuchi Castle and is in charge of everything is Oda Nobutada, the successor designated by Oda Nobunaga.

Those who stayed behind in the castle included Niwa Nagahide, who was originally in charge of the dispatch of military supplies, and Nohime, who was in charge of many affairs in Azuchi Castle.

The news that the demon snake was heading towards Azuchi Castle had already been reported by the foot soldiers stationed at the border.

Although it was mostly a futile effort, Oda Nobutada, who admired his father and intended not to embarrass him, still chose to build a siege and try to "arm wrestle" with the snake demon.

Then, just half an hour ago, Azuchi Castle was completely isolated and helpless.

The demon snake's path was crooked and unpredictable.

In addition, the demon snake was huge in size and posed a great deterrent effect on people. So when Oda Nobutada heard that the demon snake had changed its route and was heading towards Azuchi Castle from another direction, he simply changed the location of the cage he had prepared and rebuilt it.

Niwa Nagahide knew that the prospective head of the Oda family had been frightened by the demon snake's "battle record" along the way, and was afraid that he could no longer take on the important responsibility.

So he decided to ask Nohime to take charge of the situation.

After all, he was the one who had accompanied Oda Nobunaga and others to face Enronichi, so his psychological bearing capacity should be much stronger than Oda Nobutada.

As a result, as soon as Nohime gained power with the assistance of Niwa Nagahide and the voluntary concession of Oda Nobutada, she immediately ordered her troops to pack their luggage and supplies and prepare to abandon the city and flee.

Niwa Nagahide wanted to resist, but was tied up and sent to Nohime.

"If you abandon the city and run away at this time, I wonder how you will have the face to see Lord Nobunaga in the future!" Niwa Nagahide scolded Nōhime with a ferocious face and glared at her.

"If Lord Nobunaga were here, we would have packed up our supplies and prepared to evacuate yesterday." Nouhime looked at Niwa Nagahide and sighed, "Although you also helped fight against the demon army back then, you never faced the serious Enrochi."

"Even now, I still feel that those battles between He Yuan and Lu Zhi were all won by luck." Nohime hugged her shoulders with her hands, with a frightened expression.

"Those who have never faced that monster personally have no right to comment on me here."

Niwa Nagahide was a little speechless.

In the entire Oda family, apart from Oda Nobunaga, the person who is recognized as the second most courageous is the woman in front of him.

But now, Niwa Nagahide saw for the first time the look of 'fear' and 'terror' on this woman's face.

"Nagahide, you should have noticed that the demon snake had disappeared soon after it passed by. It is definitely not something that human power can resist." Nouhime looked at Niwa Nagahide dimly, "But until now, you still hold on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that the reason why the demon snake was able to approach Azuchi Castle was because Lord Nobunaga took away a large number of elite troops, resulting in insufficient garrison troops in the city, while Azuchi Castle was guarded by more than a thousand foot soldiers."
