Although the great barrier is gone, the warriors are still protecting their own future and that of their allies in the way they can.

A pale green barrier stood between the hall and the balcony, separating the monsters of the abyss from the survivors of the human realm.

"Ding Ding-"

The fangs and sharp teeth of the batwing demons outside the barrier were like steel needles, constantly hitting the pale green barrier at an extremely high frequency.

However, even so, the barrier still did not crack a single crack under the siege of the batwing demons, and if the eyes were a little brighter, you could still see a shallow but slightly larger 'sincerity' on the barrier through the fangs and claws of those batwing demons.

"I didn't expect you to have such a means." Militus looked at Hikotsuki Hokusai's unsmiling face behind the barrier, revealing a look of surprise.

"The Haori of the Shinsengumi, the clothes stained with the blood of the Okita Soji, I didn't expect it to be in your hands." As for the dark fireworks on the side, it is more indifferent.

"Wait, what's that?" Militus and Lorica beside him both asked, a little puzzled.

"It's a prop that was circulated during the open beta of this game in Japan at that time.,It's said to be attached to the concept of the immortal sincerity of the Shinsengumi.,And can block all attacks.,Maybe you haven't heard of it late in the pit.。 Hanaby explained slowly as she untied the stick wrapped around her waist and wrapped in black linen.

"Wait a minute, just now I remembered that Hikotsuki Hokusai pulled it straight from under his clothes......?" Lublum looked closer, "Do you mean you're wearing it all the time?" ”

"It's true that this Haori can withstand all attacks, and it's true that this game is based on the story of the Shinsengumi, but its effect can only be used once, and it only takes ten seconds to take effect each time." Hikotsuki Hokusai's hand was pressed against the word 'Makoto' on the barrier, and he said slowly.

"Ahh Hanako untied all the ropes on the black linen cloth and grabbed the corner of the linen cloth with her right hand, "I know this, and I also know that if this thing is worn on the body, it will block the attack and disappear immediately after taking a hit, but if you use it in a way like you do now, it can be used as a temporary enchantment that can be deployed to help your teammates resist attacks, so that means ...... In your entire gaming career, you haven't even been hit once. ”

The words of the dark fireworks are more like exclamations than explanations.

However, Hikotsuki Hokusai didn't seem to have any reaction to her words, and didn't give any answer, just silently supporting the barrier built by Haori in front of him, and slowly said a word.

"You've got five seconds left, and if you're going to fight back, it's now."

He has always existed in this world as a sword, but now he has also picked up a shield.

"Of course I know about such a thing!"

And after listening to Hikotsuki Hokusai's words, Hanabi also responded mercilessly, and instantly ripped open a corner of the black linen cloth in his hand.

'Hmmm'

The dark fireworks, who almost never revealed their weapons in front of outsiders, finally showed their true sword.

It was a weapon that only looked like a sword, but every detail was far from the sword.

Because the scabbard of the weapon is more like a steampunk-style hose than a 'scabbard', except that it is a knife that is stuffed into it.

But despite this, the handle of the knife really can't be said to be the appearance of a real knife.

The gears embedded in the grip and the protruding buttons on the blade all indicate to the onlooker that this is not a simple knife.

In fact, this is not a simple sword, or even a simple melee weapon, because as mentioned in the previous conversation between Xiaoxiao Hanaby and Militus, they are from the same family.

If you learn from the same school as a person who plays a revolver, then this person's knife will inevitably not be a normal knife.

'W-'

So, under the puzzled eyes of Hikotsuki Hokusai, Hanako pulled out the mischievous sword from its strangely shaped scabbard.

Admittedly, if it is about the sense of impact at first sight, then this sword of Yoji Hanabi is comparable to Mizugetsu, Huiyin, and Nagako of Hikotsu Hokusai to this extent, because the appearance of this sword is indeed too 'deviant'.

The bronze blade is more than three feet long, and the polished smooth blade has an eerie and neat glow, but if you look at the back of the blade, you will find countless pinions in motion. And if you look back at the blade after seeing the pinion, you can find that the reason why the blade is smooth and neat is not because of the result of polishing, but because the knife has no edge.

What looks like a blade is actually just a myriad of miniature saw blades that are spinning rapidly.

That's right, this knife is not an orthodox knife at all, but a special chainsaw condensed by industrial technology.

But even so, the profession of the night is still a sword hero.

Because the weapon in her hand can still be called a 'sword' in a broad sense.

"I didn't expect to see you draw your sword." Militus pulled out his revolver and reloaded his ammunition at the same time, then spun it around in his hand.

"There's nothing I didn't expect, I just used it when I should have used it." Hanabi put the saw sword in his hand in front of him, and said to the batwing demons outside who were still biting the barrier.

"Three seconds left." Hikotsuki Hokusai said in a low voice.

Although this Shinsengumi barrier is an impregnable barrier, it is also a double-sided mirror.

That is, while blocking the external offensive, it also blocks the internal fire.

However, although friendly forces cannot be exported through the cover of this barrier, it is still possible to use it for rearmament under this barrier.

So, it was not so much that Hikotsuki Hokusai protected everyone, but rather that it gave everyone in the castle tower a time to prepare for the war.

"One second more."

Hikotsuki Hokusai's prompt came faintly.

"Whew-"

As if in response to Hikotsuki Hokusai, a cloud of white steam rushed out from the hilt of the night fire before his words fell.

"So, let's get started."
