17、Dead_or_Alive
The Ragnarok airship sails silently above the thick clouds. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The tempered glass of the bridge is transparent, and you can see the dark night sky outside the window, without moon and stars, a dead silence of pure black.
It's like Ashikaga's face at the moment.
Nakorulu was gone, and the precious artifact Kusanagi Sword was thrown on her bed without pity, accompanied by a small note with only one sentence: "If you want to sacrifice, sacrifice yourself!" ”
Truly...... We don't have the right to let her die...... She can live no matter where she is......
"Actually...... That's not bad......" Ashikaga sighed, put away the small note that he had been reading for a long time, turned his head to look at the night outside the window, as if through this endless darkness, he saw Nakorulu who didn't know where he was, and said to himself, "Maybe I'm really sacrificing others to accomplish my own great deeds...... But...... Now that you know what the mistake is, you can avoid it......"
I didn't know what he was talking about, but I had a sudden sense of foreboding.
Ashikaga then summons the key crew aboard the Ragnarok airship to discuss how to fill the void created by Nakoruru's departure.
Gathering the three artifacts, summoning the three noble sons, and using this method to deal with the Eight Miscellaneous Orochi, there is not much hope of success, but if even the three noble sons can't be gathered, then there is no hope at all, so in any case, we must find a shrine maiden who can replace Nako Lulu before the decisive battle tomorrow.
The problem is, we can't find someone who can replace her.
To hold the artifact and summon the main god, you need strong spiritual power, strong will, and skillful incantation chanting ability, all three of which are indispensable. In fact, among our three shrine maidens, the Japanese shrine maiden's spiritual power is slightly insufficient, Nakorulu is not strong enough, and Kikyo is not very good at chanting spells, which is originally just an incomplete combination.
Now, this incomplete combination has completely collapsed......
"If ......" Kagome was silent for a moment and stammered, "I'm also the daughter of the shrine, and I ...... for chanting incantations and stuff."
"You can't!" Her Royal Highness, who was still covering her face with a gauze hat until this moment, directly interrupted her, "You and Kikyo actually use the same soul, so it's impossible to go on both." And as a shrine maiden, you are not as good as Kikyo. ”
Indeed, how can one person play two roles? Dr. Jakael and Mr. Hyde were both killed......
“…… I ......"
Before Amakusa could say the second word, the Japanese witch bluntly rejected her proposal: "You believe in the Nanban Sect, and it is impossible for the three nobles to accept your call!" ”
On the Ragnarok, there are actually a lot of shrine maidens, but the spiritual power of ordinary people is simply not enough to summon a great god like Susanoo, even if they are willing to sacrifice, it will not help.
Among the contemporary shrine maidens in Japan, there are only two of them, the Japanese shrine maiden and the bellflower.
Helpless.
In the end, it was the famous general who made me feel inexplicably familiar with it, Kenshin Uesugi who solved this problem.
This girl, who was supposed to be a man in my memory, changed into a shrine maiden costume and accepted the Kusanagi sword.
In terms of spiritual power, as a walker in the human world of the Northern Protector Heavenly King Bishamontian, her spiritual power is no less than that of the bellflower; In terms of strength, as a military general, she has come from countless Shura fields, and her strength of will is amazing; And the ability to chant mantras ......
"What about me...... Actually, since I was a child, I have been determined to be a monk ......" Uesugi Kenshin pulled out his seven swords, disassembled them, and put the Kusanagi sword inside, "Whether it is a Buddhist scripture or a mantra, I am familiar with it, and I can't make a mistake." ”
Seeing our puzzled expressions, she explained with a smile: "The seven swords were originally used to store thunder and lightning, and Tian Congyun (another name for Kusanagi Sword) is the sword of the god of thunder, and it is placed in it, which just complements each other, and it can be regarded as an offering—I always feel that it is a bit inappropriate to carry the artifact with me casually......"
A storm came to an end, and the Ragnarok seemed to be quiet again, but my heart was never at peace.
Nakoruru's accusations, the calm of Kikyo and the others' determination to die, and the sad atmosphere that permeated the entire airship...... All of this, turned into invisible claws, grabbed my heart, and made me feel very uncomfortable.
Like, there is a deep pressure that makes people breathless.
I know where this pressure is coming from, and it's — despair.
From the very beginning, everyone didn't think that they could defeat the Eight Miscellaneous Snake, and all their thoughts were just to die with it.
I hate such thoughts!
I hate the thoughts of "we can't win", "we're determined to die", "put your hope in others", "the future is up to you......
Why not go and try for victory? Why not defeat the enemy and let yourself live? Why is it that before the fight has begun, it is already ready to be sacrificed?
Since there is only despair in front of us, then smash it and smash hope out of despair!
Shouldn't it be like this? Why did you simply accept despair?
"Because their nerves aren't as thick as yours." A gentle voice came suddenly, and I jerked around, only to see a young girl who seemed to have seen her somewhere. She wore a white loose linen dress and plain scale armor breastplate, bracers and forehead guards of the same scale armor texture, an unadorned long sword hanging from her waist, and a gentle smile reflected in her short crisp hair, looking amiable.
However, even if I didn't look at the dragon horns in her ears, just that strong aura made me understand that she was an existence beyond my reach.
The question is –
"It's rude, but I still have to take the liberty of asking, do we know each other?"
The dragon girl, who was mostly in human form, laughed.
Then, a voice rang in my ears.
"My body is in Suwa, so it's safe......"
Suwa Ryujin!
"I hear you talking to yourself, saying that you want to break despair and smash hope." Suwa Ryujin smiled and said, "It's nice to have such an idea, but what are you going to do?" ”
In fact...... I didn't even think of what to do......
"It seems like you don't have much to do for the time being...... So interested in hearing my advice? ”
Of course!
"I think you need enough strength to break despair, but it seems that your strength is a little lacking right now."
Needless to say, to put it so politely, it's not just "a little insufficient"!
"But it's a coincidence that our dragon god clan is actually better at stimulating the potential in the body of the strong than fighting......
My heart was beating a lot faster.
"As a dragon god, I am still very immature, and I can't control the speed of stimulating potential well, if it is an ordinary person, the result will definitely be that the potential is stimulated, and the person is dead." Suwa Ryujin smiled bitterly a little embarrassed, obviously feeling inferior to his immaturity, "But if it's you...... Even though you're wounded, you can still make me fight on my own, and I'm amazed by the strength of your body......"
She smiled meaningfully and looked at me intently, "If it's you...... I'm at least half as sure that I can bring out great power! ”
Suwa Ryujin doesn't mention the consequences of failure to unleash potential, which is self-evident. Half to half chance, either inspire great power or be finished, fair and reasonable!
Half against half, do you really want to gamble your luck?
I couldn't help but reach into my arms and touch the card that I had put on my body.
For no reason, I don't think I should have died here.
So, bet on it!
Hearing my affirmative answer, Suwa Ryujin was still smiling, but his smile was so high and unfathomable that it was confusing.
……
I stood on the deck of the airship, facing the cold morning wind.
There is still a lingering aroma on the nose, but the owner of the aroma is no longer there.
Suwa Ryujin didn't tell me the most important thing - if the potential is not activated, the dragon god can be safe, but if the stimulation is successful, the dragon god will die, and the mountains and rivers will give birth to the next dragon god again.
The traces she left behind, in addition to the fragrance that will soon disappear, are the power within me that will never disappear.
My appearance has not changed, but my body has changed drastically, the blood flowing in my veins is no longer human, but the dragon's blood, which is surging and boiling like a flame!
Through a secret and fragrant ritual, the dragon god Suwa transformed himself into pure energy, transforming all the blood in my body into dragon blood, and dragon blood is the source of the dragons' power!
Filled with the power of the dragon is in my body!
"Suwa, you liar...... He said that he wanted to break his despair, but he still did the same old way of sacrificing himself...... "I clenched my fist and brought it up in front of me, looking at the palm of my fingernail cut, and blood flowed out one by one.
The blood, red as a flame, quickly turned into scorching steam and disappeared into the morning wind.
"Suwa, I will definitely use this power to make a hope!"
The spiritual power operated, the dragon's blood and spiritual fluctuations echoed each other, and the power increased several times, and this powerful force seeped out of my bones and muscles, forming a hideous dragon pattern on the skin, like a roaring fire dragon, rushing out of its arms, turning into a dazzling dragon-shaped spiritual light, roaring and rushing into the sky.
"Great snake! The Great Snake has appeared! Not far away, the lookout's fearful shouts were heard.
In fact, I didn't need him to speak, I could already see that it was even bigger than the last time we met, and it was already like a mountain.
Eight Miscellaneous Snakes!
The Ragnarok slammed and stopped in the air.
A mysterious spaceship using Reiko Technology is able to sail in such a strange way in complete defiance of the laws of gravity and inertia.
It is powered by the thousands of Catholics who pray in shifts in the ship's prayer room.
One companion after another came out of the bridge and stood beside me.
Ashikaga Yoshikyo, Ushiko Gundam, Maitreya, Miyamoto Musashi......
Inuyasha, Kagome Sunset, Masahiro Abe, Munejun Ikkyu, Himikoto, Kikyo, Kenshin Uesugi......
The traversers and aborigines, with the belief that they must die, stepped onto what may be the last and most glorious stage in their lives.

PS Magic's Forbidden Book Catalog,At least in terms of animation,The combat power level is really not very good......
Some readers said, "Novel! Don't you read novels! ”
Now, A refers to animation, C refers to manga, G refers to games, where is the mention of novels?
