Chapter Twenty-Three: The Perfect Assassination Mystery
The two were more than five hundred meters apart. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Without a second sword, the confident ninja put away his weapon.
Single-mindedness, one blow kills, one blow detached.
This is, the essence of assassination.
The Heroic Spirit who bears the name of Hattori Hanzo is not actually a ninja or a human, but a collection of concepts. Therefore, the greatest influence on his power is not the power of his life or anecdotes, but the widely known beliefs.
Ninjas, as a mysterious class of soldiers in ancient Japan, have long been deified into an omnipotent and terrible profession, they have strange powers, they have the ability to come and go without a trace, and they are good at using ninjutsu with an effect close to magic, and quietly take the lives of enemies in the dark night, which is such a terrible profession.
Whatever the facts, this is the ninja that everyone believes. And Hattori Hanzo, who is the embodiment of faith, holds the hole cards, which are naturally assassination techniques that have sublimated this concept to the limit.
The Noble Phantasm is the sublimation of the legend of the Heroic Spirit's life. The heroic spirit that gallops the battlefield with a sword, the treasure is the sword. The heroic spirit who commands thousands of armies to dominate the world, and the Noble Phantasm is the bond with the army. The world-famous Heroic Spirit for his exquisite martial arts, the Noble Phantasm is his blow that has been condensed to the limit.
So, what will be the Heroic Spirit born with concepts and beliefs, his treasures?
[Mystery-Shadow Killing].
This is neither a martial art, nor a weapon, nor an ethereal thing like a bond.
It's just a certain [setting] that was believed in by countless people, distorted by countless people, and finally born.
When it comes to ninja ninjutsu, many people will mention a move [Shadow Seam] technique, which throws the shuriken into the shadow of the enemy, because the shadow is stitched to the ground and cannot move, then naturally, the owner of the shadow will also be restrained.
The shadow killing method is a blow that condenses this blow to the limit.
To put it bluntly, it's just to attack the shadow and cut it open.
Legend has it that a good swordsman can split the moon in the water in two, and with the addition of the shadow gap technique widely known by ninjas, naturally ninja fanatics began to discuss the possibility of ninjas hunting the enemy's shadow and then killing the enemy.
If you can nail the body of the person by sewing the shadow, what if you cut the shadow open?
It was such a simple whim, but it quickly spread among ninja fanatics.
The fact that [it can cause damage to shadows] is regarded as a treasure, and it is completely inherited in the spiritual base of Hattori Hanzo, which is called ...... Treasure, Shadow Kill!
This is neither a technology, nor a weapon, this is just a concept. When Hattori Hanzo tries to do it, it will take effect. His attack will hurt the opponent's shadow through his own shadow, or his own body, and then cause the opponent to be injured.
This is, absolutely unavoidable.
In this sense, the explosion of natural gas just now, which caused a fire in a residential building, is a very powerful advantage for Hattori Hanzo. Because in this way, he could easily find out where the shadow of the behemoth was...... Then, swing the knife.
Hattori Hanzo's shadow, swinging the blade of shadow, struck a blow and cut off Jörmungad's body.
The serpent struggled.
However, it didn't work.
Because its shadow was cut open. In order to satisfy this condition, the ontology firmly divides itself into two.
On the cross-section, the raging venom poured down like a waterfall, burning the building beneath Jörmungandr.
No one was rescued.
From the beginning, Hattori Hanzo didn't want to save people, but it was just a kind of self-satisfaction.
Or maybe it's an emptiness.
He slew Jörmungadr by his mystery.
Of course, with the power of Jörmungad, it is completely possible to regenerate quickly.
However, it didn't work.
This is already a power close to the [Reversal of Cause and Effect] level.
The average person's situation is that because they have been beaten, their face will hurt.
Hattori Hanzo's Shadow Killing Law reverses this situation: because your shadow is separated, your body must act according to the structure of this shadow, that is, your body must also satisfy this state.
Therefore, no matter how hard it tries to recover, it will only increase its own mana consumption and hasten its death.
With such a huge body, the so-called hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, quickly wasting magic power to repair wounds that were absolutely impossible to repair, Jörmungandr fell into a state of frenzy, countless vines flew everywhere like whips, like an awkward child waving his limbs and rolling on the ground.
"The other party...... The other party suddenly changed the mode of action!"
The flying team, which had not yet been completely wiped out, hurried to report the situation and contacted each other, at first, considering that this was an urban area, firing missiles at random could lead to a worse situation, and besides, it was always necessary to test the water before using the last resort.
As a result, I didn't expect it to be so easy...... It annihilated more than half of them......
Moreover, after that explosion, the regenerative ability it exhibited and the inexplicable pattern of action that suddenly split into two are also unpredictable.
What the hell is going on?
The pilot's mind was full of this problem, and the situation of too much fear had begun to erode his mind, making him unable to make correct judgments, and his rigid thinking forced him to press his finger to the launch button of the missile.
It was originally used to destroy buildings, but once it was launched in an urban area, the hot storm would inevitably detonate a large area of gas in the surrounding area, and how to resettle the residents who had lost their homes was a huge problem.
So, in general, they can't use this weapon when they don't have an order. Whether it is one thing or not, and whether it is used or not is another.
But...... Not now, is there really a way?
The pilot was scared, he was really scared.
He had a family, children, and an old man, and like all those who supported the army, he joined the army with enthusiasm, and then found that the army was completely different from what he thought. Then, slowly, he began to degenerate from a desire to show his patriotic enthusiasm for a big war soon, to believing that peace is the best.
How many people in the residential buildings entrenched by this monster had no time to retreat? How many of their comrades-in-arms died in that explosion just now? Even the deep sorrow in the hearts of even soldiers in the face of such a sudden tragedy is indescribable.
So, he decided not to wait.
The trigger was pressed, and under the wing of the fighter, four cylindrical missiles flew out one after another, and a thick white mist drew a clean line in the night sky.
"What are you doing! There is no permission to use heavy weapons yet!"
Among the teammates, someone was roaring.
"Wow, ah, ah, I'm fighting with it too!"
Among my teammates, there are also people who think the same way as themselves.
However, it doesn't matter anymore.
Thinking so, he pulled up the fighter's operating stick with all his might, and the fighter jet, which was originally flying at a flat angle, flexibly drilled straight into the sky!
This is quite advanced technology in aviation warfare, where the on-board machine gun pokes out from under the fuselage, and bullets that do not need to be aimed are quickly hit on it.
Bang!
A scorching explosion erupted along with a loud sound, and the glow of the flames instantly engulfed the swaying monster. The raging flames quickly covered the body of the vine monster snake, and the crimson replaced the dark green, however, the wound began to regenerate as it was scorched, and this set [action mode] made Jörmunga suffer a lot.
It wailed, but couldn't make a sound because it was just a collection of vines, so it could only flick the whip-like vines indiscriminately, unwilling to try to disperse the flames wrapped around its body.
And this action only hastened its death.
Recovery magic, especially high-speed recovery magic, is quite a strong drain on mana.
The shadow was cut off by Hattori Hanzo's shadow killing method, and in order to repair this unhealable wound, the total amount of magic power of the monster that didn't know how to change was tilted out like a flowing water, coupled with the small burns on the body, at this time, the huge volume became the problem, and the too large surface area gave the flames too many attack positions......
In this way, a steady stream of magic power flowed wildly, and the monster that was named the Norse Demon Snake ran out of magic power alive and disappeared. Even with the souls of a hundred and ten people as a mana reserve, they couldn't withstand such a huge amount of consumption, and the dark green vines gradually couldn't keep up with the devouring speed of the flames, turning black, zooming, drying up, and finally turning into flying ashes......
Seeing everything, Hattori Hanzo's nose let out a terrible cold snort. It's a means to satisfy yourself.
His assassination technique can only be described as beautiful.
Very beautifully done.
He was so satisfied.
From the time I was called to the present, not a single good thing has happened. Only a successful assassination can make him feel happy.
Really...... Grievance.
Hattori Hanzo sighed softly, and his figure disappeared into the night.
He would not forget that the order given to him by the Master was to collect living human bodies. Obviously, the person who has been sucked by that big monster is definitely not [fresh].
How do you explain it to your master......
Hattori Hanzo was silent for a moment.
"Just say...... That guy is getting in the way of me hunting humans...... So to use this excuse, you have to come up with a sufficient number of people......"
