From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil
Page 174
A large number of fireballs appeared again, but the hair of ghosts and gods was not as flammable as that of humans. The places hit by the fireballs quickly melted and dripped. However, more hair broke through Xia Chuan's defense at an extremely fast speed, like needles and arrows, and continued to shoot towards them.
A raging and tall wall of fire immediately erupted, blocking them out. The next moment, the wooden walls surrounding the courtyard suddenly collapsed, and several huge Komainu rushed in silently. Paul directly wrapped them up with his tentacles and threw them out, crashing into each other and breaking into pieces. But soon, more Komainu appeared from different directions, also silently, and rushed in one after another.
The Komainu in the front crashed into the ice shield, and more rushed up from behind. Paul's speed in creating the ice shield gradually could not keep up with the frequency of their attacks, and the Komainu that appeared at the back became bigger and bigger, as if all the Komainu in the entire Edo Shrine and temple had gathered here.
"Master!" Paul tried his best to block the attacks of these stone monsters to buy time for Xia Chuan.
At this time, the white-robed Prajna ghost walked forward again, and the house in front of Him collapsed without warning. Then, His hair began to gather together and quickly turned into a huge black snake with sharp horns on its head. It coiled in front of Him, constantly spitting out its tongue, waiting for the best time to attack.
Guests, prostitutes and servants in the nearby teahouse and restaurant were screaming as they were swept towards them by the hair. In mid-air, the hair of the devil invaded their mouths and noses, and they quickly turned into ugly and terrifying monsters. As soon as they landed on the ground, they pounced towards Xiachuan with screams.
A huge ball of wind exploded with Natsukawa and Kamio Hitomi as the center, rolling them up and pushing them away. At this time, Natsukawa also completed the second line of text on the jade slip.
"I say, there must be fire!"
He chanted.
There was no reaction at first, but soon the air became dry and hot, and the temperature rose sharply. The next moment, countless brilliant sparks suddenly burst out in the air and quickly spread, turning into a sea of fire in an instant, surrounding everything including the white-clothed Prajna.
Spiritual energy is consumed quickly, but the effect is also immediate.
The monsters transformed by the hair of the Prajna demon turned into fireballs in midair and burned to ashes before they hit the ground. The giant snake screamed, but was also immediately devoured by the flames and turned into nothing. The stone Komainu lasted a little longer, but soon began to crack and disintegrate due to the high temperature, and finally shattered into stones on the ground.
The Prajna ghost god screamed and waved his hands continuously, using all his strength to block the flames outside his body. He quickly fled into the distance, but the flames always surrounded him, and even turned his spiritual energy and resentment into nutrients, making it even more intense.
A huge ball of fire surrounded Him, like a miniature sun descending to the ground.
Is the sealed Misty Moon also in there?
The clouds in the sky suddenly rolled up and quickly became thick, pressing towards the Yoshiwara area with constantly flashing lightning, and heavy rain began to pour.
At the beginning, the raindrops fell into the sea of fire and were immediately evaporated into water vapor, making the sky above the entire Edo Castle become foggy, but soon, more and more ghosts and gods joined in the call of this heavy rain. Xiachuan alone was not able to fight against the ghosts and gods of the entire Edo pantheon. In just a few minutes, the sea of fire was completely extinguished. Not only that, lightning began to attack him continuously, and more tall and terrifying figures of ghosts and gods began to appear vaguely.
This can't go on like this!
Xia Chuan's spiritual power was drastically reduced in such a confrontation. The speed of lightning was too fast. Although he kept holding Kamio Hitomi and moving quickly, he still couldn't guarantee that he could avoid every lightning strike. Whenever the thunder came inevitably, he could only use his body as a medium to direct this terrible power to the earth as much as possible to ensure that Kamio Hitomi would not be harmed.
This further exacerbated his consumption.
"Kamio Hitomi! Wake up quickly!" he shouted anxiously. Kamio Hitomi finally raised her head and looked at him, but her eyes were full of confusion.
Is this guy out of his mind?
A huge thunderbolt that had never been seen before struck them again, like a cage, encircling the entire area of more than ten meters around. Paul rolled up the debris of the surrounding houses and tried to lead the thunderbolt elsewhere, but was destroyed by the thunderbolt in an instant and turned into a shadow on the back of Xia Chuan's hand again.
And Xiachuan could only block Kamio Hitomi under his body and use all his strength to cast the most powerful spell he knew, hoping to divert the power of the thunder.
It was just a moment, but it seemed like a long time had passed, as if he had just come into this world and was about to be reduced to ashes under the EMP attack.
They were completely surrounded by lightning, and the strong light almost swallowed up everything.
Xia Chuan could almost feel that the power that made up his body was rapidly depleting and disappearing, but he couldn't even scream.
The next second, even his consciousness began to become unclear. At this time, he finally saw Kamio Hitomi's face regain sanity, but... it was too late?
"Skeleton?"
"Kinoshita?"
Kamio Hitomi said, but two voices appeared at the same time.
It was at this moment that Xiachuan suddenly realized that everything around him, including himself, was frozen. The only one who could move in the entire world was Kamio Hitomi in front of him.
"what happened?"
"What exactly is this place?"
There are two different expressions on one face at the same time, and two different voices come out every time he opens his mouth. Strangely, this does not seem to be inconsistent.
"You for me?"
"How could you?"
Xia Chuan was unable to move, speak, or even make any expression in response, but the lightning around him that had not weakened at all made him know that this might be their only chance of survival.
He didn't know whether Kamio Hitomi could hear the other voice he made, or whether he could guess the crisis they were facing. At this moment, he saw a black shadow suddenly appear from the lightning and pounce towards Kamio Hitomi silently!
Natsukawa tried to issue a warning, but he could do nothing and could only watch as Kiritsuki appeared and stabbed Kamio Hitomi with a sharp blade.
The next moment, several huge tails suddenly appeared, not only wrapping up Kamio Hitomi's body, but also wrapping up Kiritsuki's knife-holding hand and piercing her body at the same time.
No blood came out.
"I really can't understand it. For so many years, so many times, have you ever had even a little hope of success? Isn't it good to be alive? Why don't you accept the reality and drag the hosts into it again and again? Have you ever thought about it? Although it is only a dozen years of sleep for you, they are about to lose everything. After so many years, why are you still so selfish?"
Kamio Hitomi did not answer. Everything around him suddenly disappeared, leaving only a vast field, and the time changed from midnight to early morning.
She stood in front of Xiachuan, while Kiritsuki stood opposite her unharmed.
Xia Chuan was still unable to move and could only watch from behind as her seven tails swayed slightly in the air.
"As long as I have breath left in me, I will never give up!"
"Who are you? What is this place? What are you talking about?"
Kiritsuki laughed: "How pitiful, Kamio Hitomi, being parasitized by such a monster, you must be in pain, right? Don't worry, I will get rid of her soon. And the one behind you, don't worry, everything will be over soon."
Chapter 247 Seal (3)
It shouldn't be like this!
The whole world is still in a suspended state and still unable to move, but Xia Chuan's thinking has never stopped.
Although I don't know why it has become like this, from the information that Kamio Hitomi said when I just entered this world, I know that although the gap between the two sides is large, it is not so large. Otherwise, what confidence does Kamio Hitomi have to try to break free from the seal again and again?
Moreover, if every time she found helpers, they were trapped and unable to move like he was now, then what was the point of asking them for help?
This should be the first time for Kamio Hitomi to lose her self-awareness and become another person in an illusion. Otherwise, she should have told him about this possibility when she first entered the illusion.
Was it all because of the hairpin he accidentally brought back from Fujita Koshiro's urn?
Suddenly a strong wind blew across the field, and mud, sand and countless sharp stones came towards them from all directions.
Kamio Hitomi's tail suddenly spread out, and a light pink circular barrier appeared around them, blocking out the strong wind and everything.
The next moment, the ground suddenly collapsed, and magma spewed out from the ground beneath their feet, pouring outside the barrier and quickly submerging them.
Kamio Hitomi roared and screamed at the same time, and a huge meteorite with a long tail fell from the sky and hit Kiritsuki, but was also blocked by the barrier she summoned.
Several magma giants crawled out from the lava around them and walked towards them with roars. Kamii Hitomi's tail kept swinging, and several white lights fell from the sky, turning into giants with lightning all over their bodies, and collided fiercely with the magma giants.
Countless grievances emanated from Kiritsuki's body and gathered into monsters of various shapes. On Kamio Hitomi's side, the clouds above his head were getting lower and lower, shining with lightning, and occasionally striking the monsters around Kiritsuki, turning them into ashes.
Both sides used amazing methods one after another and seemed to be evenly matched, but Natsukawa, who had been floating behind Kamio Hitomi, noticed that Kamio Hitomi's body gradually began to tremble and her movements gradually became stiff.
Her roars became quieter and quieter, but her screams became louder and louder. The fox demon part of her body seemed to be getting weaker, while the human part was taking more and more initiative.
The range of the thunderclouds became smaller and smaller, and the frequency of lightning attacks became lower and lower. Although the lightning giants were still fighting, as more and more vengeful ghosts summoned by Wu Yue continued to join the battle, their situation became precarious.
Something must be done!
Xia Chuan tried desperately, but his body was unable to move, his spells could not be used, his Shikigami was in a deep sleep, and he could not summon or control any living creature in such an environment. The only thing he could count on was the Word Spirit Technique he had just learned.
However, since the body cannot move, it is impossible to complete the ritual by relying on the mind alone.
The rocks continued to attack the barrier, with large chunks of burning magma in between. The range of the barrier was getting smaller and smaller. The next second, Kamio Hitomi's body suddenly softened, and she fell forward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The strong wind blew the burning stones and immediately took advantage of the opportunity to rush in. Kamio Hitomi shook his tail desperately and finally summoned the barrier again before they were hit. But almost at the same time, a lightning giant was hugged by the magma giant on the opposite side, and countless resentful ghosts pounced into its body. A moment later, with a flash of lightning, it disappeared without a trace in the air.
"Accept your fate. You'll never be able to break free from me." Wu Yue said proudly in the strong wind.
Strangely, even amid the howling wind and crashing of rocks, her voice was still clearly audible.
This is just an illusion.
Xia Chuan tried hard to recall the few words that the fox had told him.
This world does not really exist, it is just the manifestation of Kamio Hitomi's subconscious.
No! It's not just Kamio Hitomi. She definitely doesn't have the ability to create such a realistic illusion of the end of the shogunate. The one who created this world should be the demon fox, the seal, and Kamio Hitomi as the host.
The demon fox is obviously no match for the seal. If her will is finally suppressed...
Another lightning giant disappeared after releasing the last light, and the magma giant walked towards them with heavy steps, but Kamio Hitomi in front of Natsukawa could no longer stand up like before!
It's just an illusion!
No, it's just a dream that is more real and invaded by more people!
The magma giant raised his fist high and smashed it hard at the barrier which was only as big as his foot. At this time, a voice suddenly rang out.
"I say, everything should grow!"
Countless voices repeated this sentence. The lava giant's movement finally stopped when it was about to hit the barrier. The burning lava suddenly went out. Then, a seedling emerged from its fist and grew rapidly along its arm. The vines covered its body in an instant.
More plants popped up from all kinds of places, even on the stones flying at high speed in the air, green plants grew, and then intertwined with the surrounding plants, soon turning into a lush green.
Vines and the suddenly grown giant trees formed a new line of defense, keeping the strong wind out. The magma giant was covered with green plants of all sizes and lost the ability to move. The resentful ghosts tried to pass through the suddenly appeared jungle, but thousands of leaves fluttered at this time, dividing, tearing and devouring them.
The next moment, a giant tree suddenly moved. It pulled its roots out of the ground, waved its branches, and walked towards Wu Yue step by step.
"ridiculous!"
The raging fire came and wrapped the tree man inside, but it still continued to move forward step by step steadily until its body was burned out and fell not far in front of Wu Yue.
At this time, Xia Chuan's voice rang out again: "I say, we should see through the confusion!"
Everything around suddenly began to spin at high speed again, but this time it was not the strong wind, but the entire world. After a few seconds, everything calmed down again, and the surroundings were desolate again. However, the ones standing in the center of this world were no longer Kiritsuki and Kamio Hitomi, but three Kamio Hitomi with the same look of shock on their faces, and the distance between them was almost exactly the same.
They screamed at the same time, one of them tried to take action, but the other two were so scared that they sat on the ground, holding their heads desperately and shaking their heads.
Xiachuan looked at Kamio Hitomi who was trying to take action. She was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's me!"
The other two Kamio Hitomi started crying together, their movements were completely synchronized, even the timing of each exhalation was exactly the same.
Chapter 248: Onii-chan? Change back to me now!
What's happening here?
Xia Chuan was speechless. He never thought that he would have the chance to face such a thing one day.
Moreover, he didn't quite understand why his word magic could break through the illusion, but in the end it was still stuck at this step.
The sealed and disguised Kamio Hitomi will definitely wait for an opportunity to kill the real Kamio Hitomi, so Natsukawa first summoned an ice shield to isolate the three of them.
During this process, none of them took any action.
The first thing that needs to be confirmed is the identity of the fox demon.
The seal has always existed with her, and it is very likely that it knows everything about her. However, judging from the current situation, unless the fox demon has lost her self-awareness again, it is unlikely that she will mistake herself for Kamio Hitomi.
"Has this happened before?" He moved a little closer to her and talked to her in a low voice while paying close attention to the actions of the other two Kamio Hitomi.
"What do you think? Of course not!" The fox demon's attitude was a bit bad. "What's going on? Why would my power..."
"Ah? You lost your power?" Xia Chuan was a little surprised, but this also made him understand why the seal did not disguise itself as a demon fox but directly disguised itself as Kamio Hitomi.
His previous word spirit technique may have caused both the fox and the seal to lose their power at the same time, but the seal did not know that the fox had also lost its power. In that case, it immediately chose to disguise itself as Kamio Hitomi, who had never had any power.
However, no one can guarantee that their power won't suddenly come back, or even that the seal has really lost its power, so Natsukawa is still keeping a close eye on their condition to prevent it from suddenly erupting and killing the real Kamio Hitomi.
"How do you think we should tell them apart?"
"Use the spell you used before again!" the fox said without hesitation.
This should be considered a last resort, but the Word Spirit Technique failed to reveal the seal's disguise. In a sense, since the demon fox and the real Kamio Hitomi have been sharing the same body, it is not strange that the seal has the same appearance.
"I know!" Natsukawa used a trick, but the expressions on the faces and body reactions of the two Kamio Hitomi after hearing this sentence were exactly the same, which was really maddening.
"What will happen if we get the wrong person?" he asked the fox quietly.
"She may die... and we will pay the price. I may fall into a deep sleep again, waiting for the next host to appear. As for you... this is the first time you have such a helper, and I don't know what you will do."
"Ms. Kamio, are you willing to believe me?" Natsukawa suddenly asked after a long time.
Confusion, uneasiness, anger at the impostor who always had the same reaction as himself, followed by a self-destructive agreement, the two Kamio Hitomi are still exactly the same, simply invincible.
"What do you want to do?" asked the fox demon.
"Will you believe me?"
