You will surrender to me.

The soul of Nica himself? But why is there no sanity?

Although Naoto was confused, he immediately controlled the dark red dragon head-shaped energy and attacked the mask-shaped energy.

Although the mask-shaped black energy "reserve energy" is quite large, it rarely uses it, so it is quickly defeated and controlled by Naoto.

After Naoto carefully controlled both energies, he finally felt relieved.

Let’s first take a look at what these two are.

Naoto first observed the dark red energy. Naoto had observed the energy of his magic eye ring before, which was the "magic" of this world, but this dark red energy was different because it was not "magic" either.

Oh my god, three divisions of the world?

Naoto observed the distribution of energy in his body, the magic of this world in the shape of a ring, the shadow energy in the shape of a mask, and the... spell?

This is the area where the three talismans are located, surrounded by a dark red flame-like energy area. The three areas together form a circle and each maintains a calm state.

What's happening here?

Naoto was confused. Didn't these spells change according to the rules of this world? Naoto remembered that the cow spell and the horse spell both used magic power.

What is this, a unique energy for the spell? Why is it in the shape of a dark red flame? Tiger, ox, horse, none of them seem to have anything to do with "flame", right?

So what is this flame energy?

Related to spells...

Holy Lord? Yes, the Holy Lord is a fire dragon, a fire demon, so what is this energy, demonic energy? Demonic energy of fire? !

Naoto suddenly opened his eyes, and after thinking deeply about it, he came to this surprising conclusion, but it was also very reasonable.

The 'talisman' itself is the product of Lope extracting and materializing the various divine powers of the Holy Lord. When the Holy Lord gets the talisman, it is not to strengthen himself, but to take back his own power, and the 'demonic energy' is the manifestation of their essential power.

As the 'Fire Demon', the demonic energy of the Holy Lord is naturally the 'fire' element. As for the other seven demons, it depends on whether we can draw them in the future.

The other black energy in the shape of a mask represents the power of shadow in the shadow world, which is also the power of the Holy Lord's world. It belongs to a different system from the 'magic energy' and is naturally incompatible. The energy systems of these two worlds, which are from Jackie Chan's Adventures, are naturally incompatible with the 'magic' system of this world.

However, "mystery" itself may represent the nature of "metaphysics", so no matter what world the energy is from, its essence is attributed to "metaphysics". This is also the reason why Naoto's "mystery" seems to be compatible with the essence of all abilities and can be improved.

Come to think of it, could this be the thing that made him feel connected to the dragon flame before? However, the Holy Lord's 'Fire Demonic Energy' is not from this world, so it is unlikely to react with that thing, and the Holy Lord only used the appearance of this 'dragon', not to mention that the Holy Lord is in the shape of a Chinese dragon, and this is a Western dragon, which is too different.

Unless, that dragon flame is related to the 'Holy Lord', could it be a variant of the 'Demon Energy of Fire'?

But that dragon flame fire was who knows how many years ago, and the Holy Lord's power was gradually drawn out after he traveled through time. How could it be possible that it appeared in such a long time ago?

Forget it, I’ll know the reason when I see the dragon flame. Let’s take a look at this ghost mask first.

Naoto turned his attention to the mask-like black, cold energy.

I don’t know if it’s because the soul’s will has been worn away. Although there is still extremely deep soul energy inside the mask, it is like an ownerless treasure, waiting to be dominated.

Naoto naturally would not let it go to waste. He absorbed it while carefully feeling this 'negative' energy.

Naoto's path to advancement is through 'desire', but lust is the most efficient and he gets the most 'mystery', and his magic is relatively pure, so Naoto basically hasn't thought about getting the 'mystery' progress from other places. After all, it's better to lay a solid foundation.

Soul power has many benefits. It can make Naoto's [world] more powerful. The [world] itself is a mixture of mental power and magic power. Mental power is a derivative of soul power, and magic power is a derivative of "mystery". As the product of the two, the strengthening of soul power and "mystery" will be reflected in the strength of both mental power and magic power, thereby enhancing the strength of the [world].

Moreover, Naoto's time stop has now lasted for six seconds. Naoto obviously did not look for other "mysterious" items to serve as "nodes", but those two "nodes" actually filled in by themselves.

Naoto didn't understand the principle behind it, but becoming stronger was a good thing. After all, there really weren't that many "mysterious" items to find.

"Whoo~~~"

Naoto breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more confident about his next move up the mountain.

By the way, is this the only mask in this room?

It suddenly occurred to Naoto that this room was actually quite large, and that he might be able to find something else besides the mask.

He did what he thought, and Naoto immediately stood up and started rummaging through the drawers.

After searching for half an hour, Naoto didn't find anything and had to give up helplessly. However, having such a mask was enough for him. Not to mention anything else, the endless number of ninja soldiers alone was enough for him to use.

-------------------------------------

Knock knock knock!

There was a sudden knock on the door of the room. Naoto was just sorting out the things that had been messed up. He just said "come in" without looking to see who it was.

"Zi'an, what are you looking for? The rummaging sounds are a bit loud."

Chizushi's voice rang out, and just as Naoto finished dealing with the box of the game box, he turned around and was about to respond.

"Just looking for something. Um, who is this?"

Naoto was about to answer when he noticed that there was a girl with medium-length black and blue hair next to Chizushi.

Chapter 268: Reaching the summit, dragon talisman!

"This is He Yelan, my good friend, the one I've been talking to you about."

Chidusei introduced.

Kono Lan has medium-length dark blue hair, which is slightly longer than her shoulders. However, the hair on the front left and right sides only reaches her cheeks. She wears a pair of large round-frame glasses, and there is some reflection in this position, so Naoto can't see her face clearly, but he can tell that she is quite beautiful.

Looking down a bit, the figure of this Aoi Wano is even more exaggerated. Looking at the strong and towering chest, it is definitely more than two cup sizes bigger than Chizu Yoshi's (there is no mistake here). Looking further down, there is nothing much because she is wearing a gray-blue school uniform, so Naoto can basically not see anything except the most obvious place.

However, there seemed to be some dark marks on He Yelan's skirt, perhaps it was wet from washing hands or something.

"Um, hello, did I disturb you? Sorry."

Naoto saw the marks on Wano's blue skirt but didn't care much about it. He nodded, said hello, and then apologized.

"It's okay. Xiao Lan and I were chatting in the room. I heard you rummaging through the boxes and cabinets. I was a little curious, so I came over to take a look."

Chizushi shook his head to indicate that it was nothing wrong.

"I'm looking for something, but it seems I don't have it now. It's okay, you guys go have fun, I'll go out for a walk."

Naoto patted his sleeves to shake off the dust, then stood up and said.

Naoto was ready to go take another look. It was just after four o'clock, and if he hurried, he should be able to come back before dark.

-------------------------------------

"It's strange. Why is it so 'clean' this time? Although all kinds of bugs didn't come up before, they were still around. Why is there nothing this time?"

Naoto casually pushed aside the weeds blocking his way and felt a little strange.

Without the harassment from those creatures, Naoto climbed the mountain faster, but to Naoto's surprise, the bodies of the monkeys that Naoto had previously captured disappeared.

"What's going on? Where are the dead monkeys?"

Naoto found that the area was clean, even the dark blue blood that had sprayed a large area before had disappeared. If it weren't for the fact that the bark that Naoto had torn open with magic before leaving was still there, Naoto himself would have doubted whether he had taken the wrong path.

To be on the safe side, Naoto summoned the [World], let the [World] float over, and observed that area through the [World]'s vision.

"It's weird. It seems like there is really nothing left. It doesn't look like it was eaten. Even the blood has been cleaned up. There is not even a trace of blood."

Naoto shared the vision of the [world] and found that there were really no traces left here. The only evidence that this was a place he had been to before was the piece of bark he had torn off when he left in a hurry. If you look closely, you can also see some broken branches.

【Hunting】

Naoto activated his ability, and the world instantly became dark, with only a few locations with 'traces' highlighted.

"There are indeed 'traces' of magic, but they seem to be right here. There are no other 'traces'. Then how did the bodies of these monkeys disappear?"

Naoto looked around and unexpectedly found that the 'traces' of this magic power spread all over the surrounding weeds and trees.

Why is there magic flowing everywhere?

Because the flow of magic power was extremely slow and subtle, Naoto had not noticed it before. Now that [Hunting] was activated, the subtle flow of magic power was like a dense network.

At first, Naoto only filtered out the "traces" of those monkeys, but there was no special change. He could only see the location of the monkeys' bodies and the range of the blood spray. Now, after filtering the range related to those monkeys, Naoto found that the surrounding weeds and trees were all highlighted.

Or rather, the magic circuits in their bodies were highlighted.

"This, was eaten by plants?"

Naoto subconsciously tried to lift his legs to move back, but found that he couldn't lift his legs without exerting any force unintentionally.

"Huh? What the hell?"

Naoto quickly looked down and saw a vine wrapped around his ankle, which prevented him from lifting his legs. At this moment, Naoto also felt the rapid loss of magic power in his body.

Carnivorous plants?

As Naoto thought so, he controlled the energy of the 'Fire Demonic Energy' to flow out of his body, directly forming a red flame coat on his body surface.

Whoosh!

As soon as it sensed the energy of the 'Fire Demonic Energy', the vine quickly let go of Naoto's ankle and tried to escape, but was grabbed by the [World] summoned by Naoto.

"Humph! You took my magic power and you still want to run away? Get up now!"

Naoto directly controlled the [World] to grab the vine and pulled it outward with force.

Kakakaka~

The ground cracked inch by inch, and a very long vine was pulled out directly by the [World] summoned by Naoto, and the 'Tree that caused the accident' was also pulled out.

"Why, are you holding a grudge against me for tearing off a piece of bark from you?"

Naoto looked at the vine, no, it should be said that the tree the roots were connected to, and sneered, not caring whether the tree was really intelligent or not.

"Take this flaming fist from me!"

Naoto activated the energy of the 'Fire Demonic Energy' and attached it to the body of [The World], then controlled [The World] to punch the tree.

boom!

The exploding flames burst out from the thick tree trunk, instantly igniting the tree.

Naoto looked at the magic circuits in the tree. It instinctively tried to absorb the energy of the 'fire magic energy', but this 'fire magic energy' came from an energy system in another world, not the magic of this world. So the tree quickly turned into a large pile of ashes under the burning flames.

"But it seems like there's more than one tree that 'eats meat'."

Naoto looked at the other four or five trees. Among the surrounding trees, only these few saw the so-called magic circuits. The others didn't notice any problems, so he decided to deal with these ones first.

Naoto stimulated the energy of the 'Fire Demonic Energy' and hammered the trees one by one.

Huh~boom!

Pah pah pah ~ Pah pah pah ~

The sound of flames burning continued to ring out, and the sound of trees exploding came one after another.

Because the burning of this flame is essentially the conduction and destruction of the energy of the 'Fire Demonic Energy', there is no need to worry about not burning it completely. As long as these trees can conduct magic power, that place can be burned by the energy of the 'Fire Demonic Energy'.

"Hmm? They're not all conjoined, are they?"

Naoto looked at the flames continuing to conduct and raised his eyebrows.

Naoto could feel the energy of the 'Fire Demonic Energy'. Now the surrounding area was covered by the energy of the 'Fire Demonic Energy', and it was still spreading...

Hmm? Why is it spreading upwards and downwards?

Naoto originally felt that the energy was spreading around, but he didn't expect that after reaching a certain range, it would only spread upwards and downwards. Now it has become a rectangle.

As the trees turned into ashes, a "mountain road" connecting the upper and lower parts was "created".

It seems that I have to go up there again.

Naoto looked at the mountain road that was gradually being "cleared", and began to walk towards the top of the mountain, stepping on the "corpses" of the trees.

-------------------------------------

Perhaps the burning trees created some power, so Naoto's way up the mountain was almost unobstructed. Naoto had estimated that it would take an hour to reach the top of the mountain, but he reached it in about half an hour.

“There are quite a lot of animal species.”

Naoto looked at the dozen or so flame-stained animals surrounding an altar in the middle, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"But the human wave tactic is useless to me. Black Shadow Army!"

Naoto whispered softly.

Suddenly, countless ninja soldiers emerged from the shadows of the surrounding bushes.

Faced with a large number of ninja soldiers, the animals could not help but take a few steps back and move closer to the altar in the middle.

"Tigers, rabbits, sparrows, eagles, wow, there are so many kinds. But now they all have to die here!"

As Naoto finished his words, the ninja soldiers rushed out with their weapons and fought with the monsters.

Roar! !
