(36) The defeat of Sakurako
"Who are you? Do I know you? Sakurako asked very strangely, but the guy in the strange costume on the other side was as silent as a mute, and his demonic power slowly but firmly spread around, and the intention of doing it was self-evident.
"It seems that you are my enemy. It's dangerous to get you so close. Sakurako put her doubts behind her, and her tone of voice was filled with murderous intent, so that the enemy who could sneak close to her was a potential danger that needed to be erased as soon as possible.
Thinking like this, Sakurako stretched out her hands and turned their palms towards the other party, and a light purple glow slowly appeared in front of her and then grew larger and larger, and when the glow swelled to the size of a basketball, it suddenly exploded into countless tiny fragments, which were floating around Sakurako, and although it was daytime, the strange light emitted by these fragments still stained the surroundings with its color.
In the face of Sakurako's fanfare of spell preparation, the youkai boy turned a blind eye like a blind man, and he was still staring at Sakurako's face.
"What do you want to do, you guy? Why do you keep staring at my face? Do I have something strange on my face? β
Because this guy's behavior was really weird, Mao Yu subconsciously rubbed his face, and then asked him suspiciously.
The young man was stunned at first when he faced Sakurako's inquiry, and then shook his head with a light smile.
"Huh? You can hear me. And because you're deaf...... Not a word. That's right... Can you get out of the way? If you are hit by my attack, you will not only suffer a skin injury, but you will die directly. β
It's strange to say, Sakurako instinctively didn't want to fight with the person in front of her, not afraid but unwilling, and when facing him, Sakurako found that she subconsciously brought a tone of chatting and discussing with acquaintances, which made her a little suspicious.
And what made her feel the most strange was that the information she felt from Mao Yu's instinct was also very strange, the other party was as reluctant to do it as she was, but he forced himself to put on a provocative look, but his deeper heart was Gujing Wubo.
"What kind of strange battle is this? Damn it! I'll do it first. Soul Butterfly! Give it to me! β
Sakurako grabbed her hair angrily, then stamped her foot and reached out to the strange guy in front of her.
After Sakurako's order, the glowing fragments around her turned into butterflies, the largest of these light purple butterflies is the size of a finger and the smallest is only the size of a fingernail, the formed butterfly group seems to be flying around in disorder, but it is consciously surrounding the monster boy, dyeing the light purple light around it as if it is a hotbed for their growth, they are constantly expanding their numbers in the area shrouded in light, and it only takes a moment to create a sea of butterflies.
It's almost like Sakurako has a knife on his neck, but this guy still looks like a wooden man.
Sakurako was annoyed by the other party's unhurried posture, and couldn't help but shout at him.
"Are you teasing me? Or look down on me? Do you think you can survive my attack!? β
"I can be blind or dumb, but I can't be deaf, because I need to listen to the little sparrows around me."
The wooden man who was there in the old god finally spoke, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was like adding fuel to the fire, which made Sakura grit his teeth with anger.
"Haha? You even mock me for being a twittering sparrow? I wanted to be merciful, but now I've changed my mind. β
Sakurako snapped her fingers, and the butterflies gathered around the boy immediately flew towards the target that was surrounded after receiving the speller's order.
These are immature Hades butterflies, and if they are entangled, even big monsters will be robbed of their demonic power.
This wooden man is very confident in releasing demon power, neither preparing spells nor posing, it seems that he belongs to a guy with a fairly large reserve of demon power, so Sakura will use the Hades butterfly to weaken the enemy's demon power, and a large loss of demon power is fatal to the monster.
"You regret it...... What's going on? Hades Butterfly doesn't attack you!? Are you also a youkai associated with death? β
Sakurako's eyes widened in surprise before she finished her smug words, only to see that monster boy calmly standing between the deadly butterflies, if it was an ordinary monster, I was afraid that the horror had been exhausted and died, even if it was a big monster, it would show a weak appearance.
And this guy turned out to be completely fine! These butterflies she summoned were as if they had been raised by him, and they didn't attack at all!
"That's not right! You're not a death-related monster, even if it's a death-related monster, you'll also be attacked by my butterflies at the level gap, and you don't have the breath of a death-related monster at all! What are you? β
Sakurako felt that when she faced this guy, she was awkward to death, and she had to block many more blocks in her heart, and she almost lost her rhythm.
"Ahhh I can't stand it! You guy...... You guy give me a clean death! β
The depressed Sakurako took out a tarot-like card from her sleeve, and when this card appeared, the girl's body burst out at the same time with a vast demonic power, which was more than ten times higher than the monster boy had just released.
"Dead I ι·-γγΎγγγsoul]!" Sakurako of Saigyoji Temple was once the princess of the White Jade Tower, and her experience as the Sakura of Death, the Demon of Saikyo, has made her quite proficient in Gensokyo's unique combat skills.
This unique combat method called Spell Cards was originally invented by Gensokyo Hakurei Shrine Maiden for competitive gambling, and was originally intended to reduce the hatred between Gensokyo youkai due to killing, but its essence is a very terrifying technique.
Use spell card battles, you can enjoy low consumption, high burst, and the advantage of extremely fast moves, but the only thing is that it is not flexible enough, and it is difficult to control it after making moves.
When the girl's demonic power climbed to the peak, it poured out like a landslide, and the light that was originally limited to a few steps around Sakurako quickly spread to the size of several football fields under the strength of the continuous influx of demonic power, and it was still spreading.
Countless Hades butterflies and spiritual cannonballs with a strong aura of death formed a barrage and surged towards the monster boy.
Sakurako doesn't care about whether it will disturb the ordinary people in the city at the moment, she just wants to kill this thing quickly!
Sakurako's time to appear in reality is limited, and she can't afford to waste time for a guy who doesn't rank as a big monster.
But what happened next made Sakurako almost staring out her eyes, and the inexplicable boy who was looking for death actually took out a card from his sleeve in front of her, and even the movements were exactly the same as hers, and this card was ...... It's also a spell card!?
"Man-made disaster [Burning Jingyi Pavilion]" With the announcement made by the other party, the young man was surrounded by huge flames, this layer of flame was not the slightest abnormal, it looked like it was just an ordinary mortal fire, but Sakura's Hades butterfly or spiritual cannonballs were burned out the moment they entered this flame, and Sakurako even felt that the 'sin of death' that she had poured into it was also used by the other party's flames as fuel to strengthen herself, and it burned all the way up...... It's just an ordinary flame!
The boy in the flames seemed to be aware of Sakurako's doubts, so he explained very enthusiastically.
"Of course, this flame is just an ordinary flame, but because it once burned something special, it has become a fire of man-made disasters with great malice, the demonic power of death is powerful, but only enough sins can survive the flames of man-made disasters!"
"In the face of this flame, all the hope of beauty and order and inheritance will be extinguished, and only sin will survive!"
After absorbing enough fuel, the flames around the boy automatically dispersed and turned into a hideous fire crow in the sky, heading straight for Sakurako.
"Damn! What's going on with this evil flame? What did this fire burn? Sakurako frowned and took out her second spell card, she saw that the power she used couldn't stop the flames at all, so she had to use a higher power spell card.
However, the other party was one step ahead of Sakurako, and in the situation of dominance, he activated his second spell card.
"Man-made Disaster [Hanlin Academy, Guarding Self-Stealing]" As soon as this card came out, a large number of human figures wearing formal Confucian clothes suddenly appeared around Sakurako, except for clothes, their bodies were all blurry projections, and these figures disappeared after a circle around Sakurako.
"Huh? What the hell is this? Tricks that interfere with my movements? Wrong...... Where's my spell card!? β
After Sakurako was stunned for a moment, she suddenly found that the spell card in her hand was missing, and then the other side began to explain again.
"Do you know about Hallym Temple? Everyone thinks that it is concentrated in the most learned and moral scholars in the country, but who knows, in fact, they are the most hateful thieves in the world! In order to fill their pockets, they would often take the precious books of civilization out of their clothes and sell them to collectors and antiquities dealers, just like ...... Such. β
As the flames dispersed, Sakurako saw the person standing in the flames clearly, he was taking a spell card from a figure dressed as a Confucian priest, and then took out a handful of copper coins and handed it to the other party, the figure disappeared with a happy look, and the guy took the time to show Sakurako the rune card he had just gotten, and Sakurako recognized it as her spell card at a glance!
"Spell cards can be stolen too? What is this? How could this ridiculous thing ......" Sakurako was completely dumbfounded.
"Don't panic, if you can keep a normal heart, this card of mine will not be of any use to you, but your heart is already messed up, so I can steal the spell card from you...... Hmm~ How can the things of the reader be considered stealing? It should be taken. β
"Even a big monster dares to tease me like this! You're looking for death! Do you think I don't have any other abilities than spell cards? β
Under the other party's repeated teasing, Sakurako was really angry.
"You should be a youkai born and raised in this new era, right? So when you are promoted to the level of the big monster, do you feel that you can do anything? Naive! I don't know where you learned how to use spell cards, but you think they'll work in front of me? β
"Exercising the original body or the transformed body to the extreme, such a youkai is a great youkai, and in the distant past, there were some talented youkai who trained themselves to the peak with the original form and went one step further on this basis!"
The surrounding light was gradually taken away, and the area where Sakurako and the youkai boy were fighting seemed to be cut off from the normal world, the outside was as bright as usual, but the inside was as dim as dusk.
The girl carefully took out a sapling and buried it in the soil, and in a few breaths this sapling grew into a towering tree with a trunk large enough for six people to embrace, and the most strange thing was that there was no trace of green on this huge tree.
"With the help of this westward demon's branches, I can summon my body to the real world in a certain amount of time, rejoice! You will witness the final stage of the youkai's advancement - the demon saint! β
With Sakurako's words, the big tree, which had just been lifeless, suddenly became full of life, from dying to full of green branches, in stark contrast, the land around this cherry blossom tree turned gray and black with death, and the weeds that had grown luxuriantly because of the height of summer also died, and all the land in the dark world covered by unknown forces completely lost its vitality, and died more completely than the sand of the desert.
The young man's flame was now reunited around the sorcerer to resist the erosion of the power of death, but this power was not the same as the joking power of death just now, and the fire of man-made disasters was no longer as fierce as before, and it was swaying as if it was going to be extinguished at any time.
The boy knew very well that once the flame of this talisman was extinguished, the demonic power of death surging from all directions would kill him completely.
This is another situation where someone has a knife on his neck, but the monster boy still looks at Sakura calmly, or he has never left this Mao Yu since the beginning of the road, maybe it is this strange gaze that makes Sakura angry, right?
Sakurako stood under the demon tree that she was temporarily possessed of, quietly looking at the crumbling flames that were destroyed by the power of death not far away, and she actually had the idea of stopping the attack several times, and her instinct was actually against herself?!
It's so weird! After meeting this strange guy, Sakurako thinks that all the good things become too strange.
Sakurako doesn't plan to stop this time, because she doesn't stay for much time, and if she gets entangled with this big monster, I'm afraid that others will be in danger, and the best way is to kill this guy completely first, and then rely on her own ontological strength to forcibly rob the prison.
Although it's different from the plan, and it will also reveal quite a lot of hole cards, Sakurako can't care about so much now.
The enemies in the prison are not stupid, and the noise in this battle is so loud that even ordinary people will notice it, and what makes Sakurako wonder the most is why there is no support from Dream Chasers until now.
Just when Sakurako felt that she had won, a mutation occurred.
A rope bound by a spell pierced through the flames, enveloping the demonic power of death and entangling Sakurako.
Sakurako felt that this rope was as if it was specially prepared for herself, after being tied up, the connection between herself and the body in the illusion world was completely severed, and the supply of demon power was cut off, and the demon power that had just died violently disappeared like boiling soup and pouring snow, and the vision of being deprived of light also returned to normal, and on the originally huge battlefield, only a demon tree that had lost most of its strength stood here.
The boy grabbed the rope with one hand, extinguished the fire around him with the other, and slowly approached Sakurako, who was in a state of panic.
"I ...... As a demon saint, I ...... Defeated by a big monster? How so? β
"This man, he's been digging a hole from the beginning, he's provoking me so that I can fight in my own form, and then he will seal me with this rope that is specifically used against me, he knows how I fight, he knows how to disturb my mind, and even knows what spell cards I will use in my first move, and he will use spell cards himself......"
Sakurako muttered to herself, and suddenly she raised her head in a conscious sense and questioned the youkai boy who had already walked in front of the middle.
"Who the hell are you? Why do you know me so well! β
But this person didn't answer Sakurako's question, he looked up at the branch of the westward demon tree that was spawned by Sakurako, and said softly.
"If you can see this cherry blossom tree bloom before the end of this life, your life will be so complete."
"Then you go to die!"
Even if she is locked by a charm, Sakurako still has the means to kill, exhausting all the demonic power attached to the branches, so that this westward demon clone will bloom gorgeously and curse all living beings around her.
'Whoever sees the demon in the west will live and die!' β
However, before the doppelganger of the westward demon could bloom under Sakurako's order, it was ignited by that person's fire.
The possessed thing was ignited, Sakurako suddenly felt pain and almost fainted, and in order to maintain the dignity of the demon saint, she gritted her teeth and tried to keep herself from screaming, and the girl couldn't figure out a thing in her head.
'This guy...... Why is it so clear that I ended up flipping the cards? β
"You...... Who the hell is it? β
Sakurako asked in a moaning voice, enduring the severe pain.
"My name is Zhu Ge...... the other party replied in the calm tone that made Sakurako angry.
'Zhu Ge...... Who is it? β
Sakurako fell into a coma with such a question.
