Why play in a band if you don't form one for life?

Isn't that Thunder Curse Ganon!

The boss in the game has come into reality!

She wasn't the only one who recognized the monster's image. Ryo, Nijika, and Rinko also recognized it. Nijika quickly told everyone this information.

"So...? It's just a coincidence." Yukina didn't care.

"No." A light flashed in Ako's eyes, "Thunder Curse Ganon can move instantly! Maybe this is the secret of its sudden appearance and disappearance!"

"Teleportation..." Sayo muttered the term. They had never encountered a monster with special abilities. This was the first time.

"If... it's really the same as Thunder Curse Ganon... it should also be able to control lightning..." Rinko added.

"Thunder?" You Hina was alert, "Kita-san, contact Wu-san and evacuate immediately."

If this monster can really control lightning, they can only retreat, the sooner the better. Except for Azi who can cast a magic shield, no one else has effective defense against lightning! And Azi is not the type who specializes in defense. Because of her preference, she has not put much effort into defense.

Kita put down his hands in prayer for a moment, put his hands on the guitar, and began to pluck with precise rhythm. The sound was controlled by Liang and transmitted to the sky. The fire wall protecting everyone was extinguished. At this moment, the figure of the monster reappeared in the air, and the sword pointed directly at Kita who was concentrating on calling Shizi!

This attack was instantly blocked by Youxi who had been paying attention to this place. The sword tip failed to pass through the thorns and the shadow disappeared again.

Ako looked at the place where the shadow disappeared and felt a little uncomfortable. The monster did not have the lightning effect that would appear when Thunder Curse Ganon teleported.

Before she could even think, a blue light burst out in front of her eyes. This time the target was her! The sword pierced out from the void, and at a very close distance, it pointed directly at the center of Yazi's forehead. In a hurry, Yazi leaned back, and the light purple light protected her forehead. The sword brushed past the shield, creating sparks.

Ako dodged the attack, but behind her was Saya, who was defenseless! Saya felt the tip of the sword stabbing at her, and she had no time to dodge. In a hurry, she could only protect the guitar in her arms.

However, the short sword could only stop in front of Sayo, and could not move forward any further. Ako maintained her original posture, holding the monster's arm tightly with her delicate hands. A faint purple-red light surged in her palms, which made her ignore the huge gap in [flesh] and temporarily restrain the monster for a moment! Sayo took this opportunity to hide in a safe area. At the same time, Ichiri's water blade arrived, trying to cut the monster's body in half.

The water blade hit the air. It disappeared again. Suddenly losing her support, Ako lost her balance and fell backwards, and was caught by Rinko beside her.

"I'm saved." Saya thanked him.

"...Rinrin, I hate this kind of boss." Ako stood up from Rinko's arms and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"It would be nice if there was a strategy guide..."

The battle continued. The monsters seemed to have spotted the weakest point in the team and concentrated their attacks on Sayo, Lisa, and Nijiya. Everyone tried to fight back, but it was ineffective.

As everyone was fighting hard, the shadow covering everyone gradually came down. Shizi received the news and began to act. Nine rope ladders were lowered from under the airship.

"I'll cover the rear, everyone else hurry up." Youshina once again blew the monster away.

The others didn't waste any time and put their hands on the rope ladder. The rope ladder was immediately pulled upwards. Seeing that everyone was about to escape, the monster flashed into the air and slashed with its blade, breaking the rope ladder where Lisa was!

Yukina had naturally been prepared. The moment the rope broke, thorns grew out from the upper and lower ends and reconnected. From the beginning, the rope ladder was made of Yukina's thorns!

The monster slashed at the ropes of the other people, but naturally it failed again. The few people also took advantage of the shaking momentum to move flexibly in the air, and even if the monster could flash, it would be difficult to catch it. So the next moment, it flashed in front of Youxi again, and the pressure originally borne by the nine people suddenly overwhelmed Youxi alone.

"(I can't see the movement track at all... Let's delay it for a while...)" Sweat overflowed from Yukina's forehead. At this time, a warm body leaned on Yukina's back. Hongxia grabbed a thorn, and the thorn pierced her skin. What flowed out of the wound was not blood, but starlight. Yukina felt that a bunch of thorns had escaped her control.

The thorns took root in Hong Xia's palm, grew, and became an extension of her body. The thorns pulled out and hit the black shadow that appeared in the air for a moment.

"I am the captain of the band." She said only this without looking back.

So, Yukina didn't ask why she stayed down there. She just retracted the vines behind her and focused on defending the front. The two of them leaned on each other's backs, gradually leaving scars on the monster's body.

Everyone else returned to the airship. A whistle sounded from above. The two exchanged glances, and Youxina hugged Hongxia's waist with his left hand, retracted all the thorns, and protected the two of them, grabbing the last rope ladder with his right hand.

The two began to rise. Seeing that everyone was about to leave, the monster became visibly impatient, soaring into the air, reaching the maximum height it could reach, and launched a final attack on the two people in the air. The sound of the sword breaking through the air was heard, but Youxi had already figured out its routine, and with a twist of the thorns, the azure sword blade broke!

The broken blade slipped through the gaps in the thorns and fell downwards. The two continued upwards and were about to reach the entrance of the airship. Everyone was already there to greet them.

The monster disappeared again.

At the same moment, Youxina felt the body in her arms tremble. She looked over immediately: Hongxia covered her mouth in fear. Her hands were full of blood.

What happened...

Yukina felt something stuck in Hongxia's waist. She looked down -

The broken blade that had clearly fallen into the air now pierced through Hong Xia's side.

Chapter 20 (Happy Birthday, Yazi~)

Yukina's mind went blank for a moment.

There was no time to think about what was happening, nor to worry about whether the people above would be hurt. Countless thorns were released from Youxina's body again, climbing along the rope ladder, wrapping around the inside of the airship, grabbing everything they could, and with a sudden force, the two of them flew briefly in the air, crossed the last bit of distance, and crashed into the airship.

As soon as the two entered the airship, Shizi closed the entrance and drove away from the area at full speed. Several people gathered around.

"Are you all right..."

"Help us quickly!" Just as they were about to show concern, Youxi laid Hongxia flat on the ground in his arms and shouted to them.

Hong Xia's face was pale, the broken sword still stuck in her body. She was breathing heavily, and it was difficult for her to maintain consciousness.

Just as Yukina was about to tear open the clothes around Hongxia's wound, she was picked up. Ryo grabbed Yukina's collar tightly, and the anger in his eyes was even more intense than when Yukina denied ending the band.

"What are you doing!" She had never made such a loud noise before, because the only person who could calm her down at this moment was seriously injured and lying on the ground.

Yukina could have easily dumped her. But she didn't. She looked Ryo in the eyes and said, "I'm sorry."

"Is sorry any use?!" Yukina's words only intensified Liang's anger.

The hatch suddenly opened again. Shiko rushed out of the door. Just as she was about to jump out, Kita threw her to the ground.

"calm!"

"Calm down!" Shizi cursed for the first time. Her eyes were about to burst as she struggled to break free from Xiduo's control. "I'm going to kill this son of a bitch!"

At this moment, Hongxia opened her eyes with difficulty.

"Everyone...be quiet...a little..." Her voice was weak, but it succeeded in quieting both sides. Ryo let go of Yukina, and Kita also let go of Shiko. Shiko fell to the wall and punched it hard without saying a word.

"Don't move." Lisa reminded Hongxia. During the quarrel, she had already torn open the clothes near Hongxia's wound.

"Just... pull out the sword... and you'll be fine..." Hong Xia said.

"Pull it out?" Lisa held the broken blade, "Then bear with it." She pulled out the broken sword as gently and quickly as possible. Hongxia bit her lower lip tightly and did not scream.

The blood-stained broken blade fell to the ground. No blood spurted out of the wound. The starlight enveloped the flesh and blood, and began to slowly heal itself. Hong Xia's expression was much more relaxed.

Only after seeing that she could really heal herself did Liang and Shizi finally calm down.

Hong Xia did not rest in peace. She struggled to speak: "No... not... teleportation..."

"What?" Lisa didn't hear clearly and put her ear close to Hongxia's mouth.

"This sword... didn't stab me directly." Hong Xia recalled intermittently, "It appeared right above my body... and then caused damage purely by its own sharpness."

"If it was... teleportation... it wouldn't be so troublesome..."

As if to prove this, the broken blade that fell to the ground disappeared again and reappeared above Lisa's head. Shizi instinctively activated his ability, covering Lisa's entire body with extremely thick armor. The broken blade made a crisp impact on the armor, leaving only a little white mark, and disappeared again.

Shizi quickly looked around and put armor on everyone. This armor was used by medieval knights. It was sealed all over, leaving only a small gap at the head. It was enough for defense, but in terms of physical strength, except for Yukina, the others were not much stronger than ordinary girls. Even though Shizi used modern materials, the weight of this armor still made it difficult for them to move, let alone fight back.

The broken sword kept flashing above everyone's bodies, but it could do nothing except make a little noise. You Xina raised his arms with difficulty, but he couldn't catch the ghostly broken sword at all.

All the people were sealed in an iron shell by a broken sword.

Saya was trapped in the small armor, thinking about the current situation. They were careless and did not throw the broken sword out immediately. The broken sword is not a weapon, but a part of the monster's body, so it can naturally use the monster's ability.

However, since the monster's ability is not the instant teleportation of Thunder Curse Ganon, then at least the ability to manipulate lightning should not be there. Then what is its ability? Teleport? No, if that's the case, the monster can directly teleport the broken sword into their bodies. It can only make the broken sword appear in a space with only air... The monster's body was the same before. What kind of ability is it...

"Dang!" With a loud noise, the broken sword hit Saya's head, giving Saya a sudden flash of inspiration.

"Mr. Wu," her voice came out from the iron helmet with a buzzing sound, "give me some space, I want to play the guitar."

Saya reluctantly turned her head toward the window. Outside the window, the dark shadow was still hanging far behind the airship in the low sky.

Shizi didn't say anything, but the armor on Saya's body began to gradually deform, leaving enough space for Saya.

Saya held the guitar in her hands again.

The monster disappeared and reappeared behind the airship.

At this moment, Saya plucked the strings of the zither.

The rainstorm is coming!

Heavy rain fell in an area with a radius of 200 meters centered on the monster, but the rain itself had no killing power.

"Saya, what are you doing?" Yukina asked. She moved a few steps to the bedside and looked out. "!" In her sight, the monster no longer flashed! In the rainstorm, it floated in the air like an ordinary monster, still chasing closely behind the airship, but it was already a target that could be targeted!

Under the iron helmet, Saya showed a hint of a sneer.

That's right. She didn't need to know what the monster's abilities were, she just needed to know its limitations.

Whether it is the flying sword or the main body, it cannot suddenly appear in a space with solid or liquid. This has been confirmed in the previous battle. And creating such a space is my specialty! As long as the area around the monster is filled with raindrops, it cannot use its ability!

"Now, you're just a target!" Saya shouted, "Goto-kun!"

Yili woke up as if from a dream. Inside the armor that began to transform, she also plucked the strings of the harp. Water flew out from the gaps in the armor, dispersing into mist, slowly surrounding everyone.

The thick fog completely blocked Shizi's vision. However, in the fog, the sound of the broken sword colliding with the armor never sounded again.

Is it really useful? She took the risk of removing the armor on her hand. A cool mist enveloped her right hand, gradually condensing on her hand and mixing with the sweat.

After waiting for a long time, there was no attack.

Shizi gradually removed the armor on his body.

The broken sword lay quietly in front of her, without any movement.

Shizi squatted down tremblingly and held the broken sword in her hand. The sharp blade cut her hand, but she didn't notice it.

The armor on everyone disappeared.

"So... it's over?" Kita walked over to Shiko and poked the sword in her hand.

"No, not yet." Youxina pressed against the window, staring at the monster in the heavy rain.

"I'll go kill it." Liang didn't even look at Youxi, and walked to the entrance holding Bess.

Shizi held her back and shook his head: "I understand your desire to avenge Hongxia. But your sound waves will disperse the rain curtain, and it will escape in an instant, and it will be difficult to control it."

"Then how do you come?" Liang was still angry and she didn't look happy towards Shizi.

Shiko loosened his right hand, and the broken sword fell to the ground again. Shiko walked towards Youxina.

"Yili, be careful not to let the mist leak out." She tapped lightly on the window, and the mist disappeared silently.

"The desire for revenge..." Shizi snapped his fingers.

At the front of the airship, a searchlight exploded. Light flew out from the fragments, crossing the space and gathering behind Shizi, turning into two scarlet jade slips, surrounding Shizi.

"Me too!"

The second searchlight exploded. More light flew in and turned into two new jade slips.

There was a sparkle of fire in Shizi's eyes.

"Azi too!" Azi stood beside Shizi, covering her right eye with one hand and raising the other hand, aiming at the monster together with Shizi. Black light gathered in her hand.

"I'm coming too~" Kita also came over.

The three of them stood in front of the window. In the heavy rain, the monster still followed them unconsciously.

Violent energy began to gather at the rear end of the cabin. Three hands opened at the same time, and the sunlight overlapped with the light in their hands.

Before they could make a move, a laser beam shot out from the forest and smashed the monster's head into pieces.

It's dead.

Chapter 21: The Human-Headed Dog Must Die

"Sweet! Excellent!" In the woods, CHU? put down the hot gun barrel in his right hand. With one shot, just one shot, he killed the big guy hanging behind the airship!

"Unstoppable!" PAREO was standing nearby, scattering petals that he had found from somewhere everywhere.

"Hey, after finishing this, my [Spiritual Power] directly increased by more than 30!" CHU? found another surprise.

MASKING, who was standing next to them, was not as excited as them. She shielded her eyes from the sun with her hands and looked at the end of the airship that was gradually moving away. She felt that the airship was slowing down. This was natural, after all, they had clearly announced their presence. But there seemed to be a light at the end of the airship——

The light had arrived before the three of them could react.

Explosions sounded all around, and the shock wave almost blew MASKING down. PAREO was so scared that he quickly put buffs on everyone. CHU? only had time to shout, "Run!" and dragged a person with one hand to hide in the woods.

"Bang!" A flying sword with a cold glow flew from the sky and stabbed in front of Chu?. There were several wild words engraved on it:

The human-headed dog must die

In the armor, CHU? leaned forward incredulously: "Huh?"
