You say this is a love game?

Satori Yoshiko was immediately unhappy, and her little face puffed up immediately. However, as Mizutani Makoto's palm covered her, the girl's value immediately returned to zero. She even took the initiative to rub against Mizutani Makoto's palm, looking extremely enjoying it.

Where is Mizutani Makoto?

He gently touched the top of Satori Yoshiko's head. The girl's hair was fluffy and felt very good.

Look back and take a look.

The top of the tower was empty, and the floor covered with sword marks was replaced by charred burn marks and electric shock marks. There was nothing left here except the traces of his battle with Beidao Yan.

He looked down at the large sword in his hand. The large sword was nearly two meters long, and with his current strength, it was quite easy to hold it in his hand.

Chidori has a deep misunderstanding of the dual sword style.

But no matter what Chidori's opinion is, the "Shikigami Contract" between him and Chidori has been witnessed by Tongzi. There will be plenty of time to resolve Chidori's misunderstanding in the future. Now that she looks angry, it is better not to provoke her for the time being.

Let her calm down.

By the way, let him take some time off.

Bang!

The scabbard rested on the floor.

Chidori, who was hiding inside the sword, was suddenly stunned. With the help of the sword spirit's unique perspective, she "looked" outside the sword.

——What is he doing?

When she looked over, she saw Mizutani Makoto leaning on a six-foot-long sword, using it as support to maintain his standing posture with great difficulty. Only then did she realize that Mizutani Makoto was in a very miserable state. His black hair had turned white, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. It looked like there was something wrong with his internal organs, and bright red blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Chidori: "?"

The sword spirit girl almost jumped up on the spot.

His vitality was drained, his spiritual energy was disordered, and his meridians were destroyed beyond recognition by the violent blood and energy. His skin and flesh were slowly shriveling.

No, why do you look like you're going to die soon?!

But she was not mistaken, Makoto Mizutani was indeed going to remake.

——Burned out.

Don't forget that when Kitajima En suddenly opened his second form, Mizutani Makoto was also furiously taking the [Boiling Blood Secret Potion], relying on the boiling blood to fight with Kitajima En until the last moment. Now that the secret potion has expired, hasn't Mizutani Makoto become a zombie?

Electric sparks crackled from the scabbard of the Odachi, as if indicating something.

This guy, could it be that he fought like this because of me?

Kitajima Yan's swordsmanship is indeed quite good, and while the core of this home field may seem to be Kitajima Yan, in reality, it is her sword...

She captured Kitajima Yan's obsession, but inevitably, her own obsession became entangled in it. The puppet she had created, wearing Kitajima Yan's appearance, was essentially a manifestation of her power. As the "Demon Sword Princess," she couldn't supply her own energy for battle, but the existence of the crack filled the gap for her. Therefore, the puppet's final stage must be to use Kitajima Yan's remaining obsession to pull out the sword of the original body...

How strong is her true form?

Based on the fighting ability of Mizutani Makoto that she had observed, she could chop Mizutani Makoto and his sword into pieces with one full-strength strike.

Wait, was it really me who chopped him into this?

Mizutani Makoto's palm was suddenly pricked by static electricity. As soon as he lowered his head, he heard such a sound coming from the large sword.

"You're not going to die just like that!"

"...?"

Why did this Sword Spirit start to care about him again?

You are a bit hypocritical but honest...

Mizutani Makoto had no intention of teasing Chidori. Judging from her attitude, she was likely a tsundere Calibur. If he were to play with her now, he'd probably be chased and electrocuted by her when he resurrected. So the boy pulled the Camellia Blood Cup from his pocket and gulped down a mouthful, finally catching his breath.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be resurrected soon."

He took the opportunity to pat the hilt of the large sword, and his soothing tone made the sword spirit girl fall silent.

"...Who cares about you?! So annoying!"

After saying this, she fell silent again.

Mizutani Makoto: "..."

Honest people don't speak in secret, he wanted to laugh.

How could he tolerate such a funny thing... But just as the corners of his mouth curled up, the large sword in his palm seemed to sense something. A flash of static electricity passed by, and the young warrior immediately stood at attention and forced down the slightly raised corners of his mouth.

hiss……

This tsundere has nearly a hundred years of skill.

Should we say that she is behind the version, or should we say that she has the old-fashioned, tsundere demeanor?

Makoto Mizutani, holding the large sword that was taller than him, slowly walked down from the top of the kendo field's tower.

How long has this struggle lasted?

From Sunday to now, which is Tuesday in July, he has wasted nine lives with Bei Dao Yan.

After three days of hard work, he has gained a lot of insights. Now that he has passed the top of the tower in the Taoist temple, he certainly needs to have a good rest.

The soul is not enough to upgrade spiritual power.

Kitajima En did not drop any new props or equipment. After all, the real core of the dojo is Chidori, and Chidori is now in his hands. Unless Chidori is exploded as well, where will the drops come from?

After saying goodbye to Furuya Ruriko, Mizutani Makoto exited the gap in the school building.

In the sight, the gloomy filter gradually faded away, and the scenery of the campus faded and blurred bit by bit, like a painting being erased, and finally turned into nothingness.

A heavy darkness crept up from the corners of my eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Mizutani Makoto was lying on the tatami in his apartment.

The cracks in the ceiling remained the same, and the wind chimes outside the window swayed gently in the breeze, making a faint but crisp sound. As the sky was just beginning to break, he watched the sunlight creep in, until it filtered through the blinds and fell onto the floor, creating soft, mottled patterns and a hint of the freshness of a summer morning.

The room was filled with the faint scent of incense, which was what Satori Yoshiko insisted on buying when she was shopping with him in the supermarket. It smelled particularly peaceful.

Mizutani Makoto blinked, and his consciousness returned to reality.

The exhaustion from the battle, the aching muscles, the tingling in his arms, all vanished as he entered the real world. As if the flashing swords and sabers in the crevice were only an illusion, Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but raise his hand. Only his slightly trembling palm, the knuckles still lingering with the burning sensation of gripping the sword, proved that the story that had unfolded in the crevice was not a lie.

"good day."

He couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Because the battle with Kitajima En was too intense, Mizutani Makoto had no intention of falling asleep again after opening his eyes.

As the sky neared dawn, Yoshiko Satori yawned and quickly ran to the kitchen with great interest. Mizutani Makoto, no longer needing to worry about housework, simply sat down on the tatami and began to take stock of his tidbits.

His main gains from this battle in the crevice were a sword and a shikigami.

The sword and the shikigami are both called "Chidori", which is easy to confuse, so let's leave the name "Chidori" to the sword soul girl and call the Odachi "Chidori Maru".

This is also in line with the Japanese naming style - Japanese people will add "Maru" at the end of the name of their favorite things, and similarly, this habit will also be extended to the names of weapons.

Naming this sword "Chidori Maru" was also his gesture of goodwill towards Chidori.

This girl seems to care a lot about her status as a sword in the hearts of swordsmen... If she wants status, then give it to her!

Anyway, he only has Chidorimaru, which spiritual sword. If it doesn't hurt Chidorimaru, which other sword can hurt him?

Hey, Chihu Ganli, what are you doing?

Mizutani Makoto held his wrist. The bracelet formed by the sacred tool and the bow was protesting, so he had to appease him - it was not that he disliked him, but that little Karami was really not worthy of you taking action.

"This large sword's two combat techniques..."

One of them is "Thousand Birds Dance".

Judging from Tongzi's feedback, this seems to be a more "street dance" fighting skill. He draws out the sword and suddenly gathers momentum, and then Chidori Maru will drive him up, waving the bursting thunder, and directly start multiple "mad dance" modes like a scorching lightning mark.

Is it a buyer's show or a seller's show?

Makoto Mizutani is pessimistic about this kind of "street dance" fighting skills.

But judging from the description, this sword skill should be quite good... At least when used in front of others, accompanied by fancy lightning effects, you can show off again, right?

As for the second skill "Thunder Walk".

This skill is quite powerful, being a displacement skill. It consumes a certain amount of spiritual energy, allowing him to follow Chidorimaru and transform into lightning, launching a limited-distance thrust along a straight line. Its speed is so fast that it can wield the Ōdachi and slash at the enemy in an instant.

"Just close the distance?"

Mizutani Makoto felt a surge of heat in his heart when he saw this.

After this period of torture, Mizutani Makoto knew how important "distance" was to melee professions. For a warrior like him who had almost no long-range means, once he was pulled away by an Onmyoji or a turret monster, he would be kited to death.

Of course, the lightning transformed by this "Thunder Walk" is not the real speed of lightning - if you are serious about it, the speed of electricity must be discussed together with the speed of light. This is obviously not the power that Chidorimaru can bring to him.

But even so, the speed of this "Thunder Walk" in the shape of thunder is enough to make it difficult for most enemies to react.

The prerequisite is that Mizutani Makoto must control the timing and landing point of using Lei Zou.

This skill is of the same nature as Flying Thunder God. Not only is it difficult for the enemy to react, but it will also be difficult for Mizutani Makoto who is moving at a very fast speed to react. Imagine that the speed is increased dozens or hundreds of times in the blink of an eye, and he crashes into the enemy before he can even swing his sword... That scene is really too abstract, and it is definitely a skill that requires a lot of practice to master.

"It requires very high reaction speed and dynamic vision..."

"So, I really am playing Chidori?"

Mizutani Makoto finally realized something.

As an Uchiha orphan, the world owes him a pair of Sharingan that can open a magatama in anger.

But you know what, if he really had the Sharingan from the next-door studio, he would have no idea how much fun it would be to play with this Thunder Walk...

"OK, I've finished looking at the knife."

"Next, it's time to look at the people."

This Chidori, is her cup medium, large, or extra large?

In fact, putting aside other things, just the "Thunder Walk" and the basic attributes of Chidorimaru are enough for Chidori to become a big cup on his side.

What’s more important is that Chidori has her own Shikigami panel.

Mizutani Makoto opened Tongzi's "Shikigami Interface" with great anticipation. Below Satori Yoshiko's avatar, a Chidori avatar appeared, also in the anime-style, making it look particularly Pokémon-like.

【Chidori (124)】

[Ownership: Yaodaoji]

【Rank: Middle】

[Abilities: Yatagarasu, Thunder Prison, Heavenly Tribulation, Eight Thunder Gods, One Sword]

Mizutani Makoto: "Hiss..."

There are three active skills and one passive skill in total.

"Yataguro Beak" is an active skill. Yatagarasu is a mythical bird in Japanese mythology. Legend has it that it once guided the direction for Emperor Jimmu Iwaohiko. When it falls into Chidori's skill column, she will swing her sword to release the thunderbird, which will fly freely and launch a fierce attack on the enemy.

The basic number is three. If enough spiritual power is supplied, more and stronger thunderbirds can be released. It is the long-range attack method that Mizutani Makoto most needs.

"Here comes someone who can fill in the gaps."

Looking down, there is the "Thunder Prison".

This skill is an active skill linked with Chidori Maru, which releases the thunder power contained in Chidori Maru, and explodes in all directions in the form of a thunder pool in an instant, erupting extremely strong thunder AOE damage with Chidori as the center. If there is no special defense, even if you don't die, you will be numb if you are hit by this.

The mana consumption seems to be very high, and it will affect Chidorimaru's thunder power. In the next short period of time, Chidorimaru's thunder attribute special attack will disappear until Chidorimaru absorbs enough spiritual power and converts it into sufficient thunder power again.

"Heavenly Tribulation" is the only passive skill, which is the embodiment of Chidori's adaptability to the power of thunder. She is immune to natural lightning damage, and the thunder damage driven by spiritual power will be greatly reduced when it falls on her. She will even be completely immune to weak spiritual thunder.

A very practical skill, and also an ability related to "Thor's Incarnation".

"There's only one left, and it's the heaviest one."

Mizutani Makoto muttered to himself.

"Eight Thunder Gods and One Tachi".

This skill is the ultimate move that Kitajima En finally demonstrated.

The Eight Thunder Gods are the eight thunder gods in Japanese mythology, collectively known as the "Eight-Colored Thunder Gods".

Their origins are complicated.

When studying the mythology of Japanese Shintoism, one cannot avoid the two gods Izanami and Izanagi.

They are both siblings and husband and wife, and at the end of the myth, they become enemies.

According to the records of "Kojiki", Izanagi and Izanami gave birth to the country and gods together, but when giving birth to the fire god - Kagutsuchi, Izanami was burned to death by the fire god's flames. Since then, the brother and sister and husband and wife have been separated by life and death.
