Chapter 30: Discoveries and Mutations
The incomparable thunder, the lightning nova that suddenly turned into a new star, under the gloomy and gray dark sky, was like a small sun.
Tremendous energy, terrifying might! In the most intuitive way, it is deduced what is called thunder and indestructible!
The blazing flash of light makes people feel stinging in the eyes, and the resulting visual afterimage does not know how long it will take to disappear.
As for Naraku?
As early as the moment the thunder came, it was destroyed in embarrassment, and it was beaten to ashes.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone watched this scene blankly, and in the impact of the violent storm current, they all felt a burst of dry mouth, and even the coral subconsciously stopped attacking.
Everything slowly stopped, and the lightning that filled the sky, and the violent hurricane that suddenly exploded, gradually dissipated.
The sky was still hazy, gray and black, but the terrible scene of the violent wind and thunder just now was gone.
"Naraku...... He's dead? β
Especially the reaction of Master Maitreya, he suddenly had a feeling of unreality, and he only felt that it was absurd and ridiculous-
The old feud that began to form from the generation of his grandfather Mibud, the youkai Naraku that he has been chasing, was killed by someone so easily?
And that's how it all ended?
"Wait, Naraku isn't dead yet!"
He subconsciously looked at his right hand, and then reacted violently-
"The curse on my hand is still there, and it hasn't been unlocked, maybe the one just now was a puppet stand-in or something!"
When he shouted like this, everyone came back to their senses, but it was Coral who reacted first.
She felt that Naraku was problematic and untrustworthy, and that she had given the Four Soul Fragments only to use herself, but she still thought that it was Inuyasha who slaughtered the village - after all, all the information she received was directed at Inuyasha.
Moreover, the fragments of the four souls on her body have long been polluted by Naraku, which gives her the ability value beyond the limits of human beings and the tenacity to die without stopping qi, while also affecting her judgment and reason......
In addition, she has an urgency that "she is going to die, and she must seize the last opportunity to complete revenge for the villagers before she dies", so it is naturally even more impossible to calm down and think about the problem.
"Flying bones!"
Seizing this opportunity, the Demon Slayer Maiden used all her strength to throw the super-large boomerang made up of the bones of fourteen youkai after their deaths in the direction of Inuyasha and Sunset Kagome!
"Inuyasha! Be careful! β
"Kagome!"
Master Maitreya gritted his teeth, ripped off the rosary wrapped around his right hand again, and regardless of the existence of the most fierce victory, he opened the wind hole and aimed at the flying bone that made a rapid sound of breaking the air.
It was a pitch-black bottomless deep hole, and the inside was about a terrible vacuum that could never be filled, and under the action of atmospheric pressure, the nearby air currents were affected and quickly sucked into the black hole.
It is as if a "point" has been opened to an endless vacuum environment somewhere, through which the atmosphere of the current world will be frantically backfilled and lost.
Originating from Naraku's curse, the Wind Cave acts on the aspect of bloodline inheritance, like a bottomless black hole, which will increase year by year, and its suction power will also increase, and finally it will suck the owner into it and be swallowed by it.
In addition to the gradual increase in the size of the wind points over time, regular use of the wind points, or injuries to the palm of the right hand, also increases the risk.
So in normal times, this is also Maitreya's trump card, and if you can't use it, you won't use it - but now, he judged that it was the best time to use it on the spot.
"No ββ!!"
Accompanied by Coral's unwilling screams, the originally stable blow seemed to lose hope of hitting due to external interference.
Under the action of that extremely strong and terrifying suction force, the flying bone, which has super kinetic energy and speed, although it was not sucked into the wind cavity at once, its flight trajectory was significantly affected.
For long-range attack props, how much the attack trajectory shifts at the beginning means how outrageous the final deviation is.
Boom!
Seven or eight meters away from Inuyasha and Sunset Kagome, the oversized boomerang blasted out of a crater and tore a deep crack in the sturdy mountain.
"Damn! You stinky! Everything happened between the lightning and the fire, and Inuyasha, who reacted, jumped to his feet in anger and became angry.
But then he found that his anger seemed to be able to be suppressed, because the blow that the demon slayer girl had just delivered seemed to have exhausted everything.
Whether it's spirit, or strength, it's all consumedβ
Coral could no longer support her body, and suddenly her eyes were gloomy, and there was no sound, and a little crystal black light seemed to be shaken down from her back.
Slowly, her entire body, which was motionless, was soaked in a pool of blood, and a large amount of blood quickly seeped out of her body, staining the surrounding large swaths of the land.
"Wait, wait, this is dead?" Sunset Kagome exclaimed.
"No, it's just faint, and my heart beats and breathing."
Inuyasha took a sip, "Sure enough, I thought the smell of blood on her body was particularly strong before, and it turned out that she had been injured like this, didn't she feel it at all?" β
"That guy Naraku planted a jade fragment in her body, presumably to make her die in battle...... Her mind was full of thoughts of revenge, and the four soul fragments infinitely magnified this thought, and of course she couldn't have noticed how bad her body was. β
Master Maitreya, who had rewound the rosary around his right hand and sealed the wind cave, came over and spoke, his face was quite bad, and there was a tendency to turn blue.
It's not a metaphor, an exaggeration, or a metaphor or a description, but simply a physical sense of the kind of blueness.
After all, although he stopped as fast as he could, the flying bone didn't suck it, and the poisonous bee sucked in a lot of ...... If he is a few breaths late, I'm afraid he will fall to the ground.
As for now, because he had had a painful experience before, Master Maitreya was still able to endure it at the moment, and the toxicity made him quite painful, but it was not enough to reach the level of life-threatening.
"Maitreya, are you all right?"
"It's not a big problem...... I can hold on, but I can't die. β
"Damn, how far is that guy going to trample on people's hearts? It would have been nice if that one wasn't a puppet stand-in, but the main body!! β
Inuyasha clenched his fists hard, and then immediately reacted, he remembered something, and turned his head to look at Sunset Kagome.
"By the way, Kagome, the smell of the wind just now, I remember that is the feeling!"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Huh? What, what, what taste, what does it feel? "The girl in the sailor suit couldn't react for a while, what kind of mess is this?
"It's the world you were in before, do you remember that mask? Didn't I say the wind that blew at the end, I remember the smell of the wind! β
Inuyasha waved his hand vigorously and said in a firm tone.
"The feeling just now, although there are some differences, but it is generally the same, I am sure that I am not mistaken!"
"Eh, that, that...... You mean β oh, blah blah! I remember! β
Sunset Kagome finally realized something, and then suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the terrifying thunderstorm that had just erupted.
"Wait! If that person is that person...... Isn't that what you say, isn't that what you say...... He already existed in this era? β
"Or maybe it's even older than that, and people who have the kind of power they just have, and maybe it's not the limit, can't they have grown up in the past few years, right?"
Inuyasha said with a solemn expression.
"And it's normal not to be human, if it's not human, then it's not difficult to understand if you live for five hundred years or more......"
"This ......"
Although Sunset Kagome understands such a truth, she still feels that she can't accept it, and compared to humans, the life span of non-humans is too long, right?!
She had never felt anything real until now, and now she seemed to have encountered an existence that spanned at least five hundred yearsβthe current era already exists, and the twenty-first century is just as alive and well.
She suddenly realized what a terrible thing it was.
Having said that, Inuyasha seems to have lived for two hundred years, but when converted to human age, it is at most fifteen years old, and strictly speaking, it is not even really an adult.
The most excessive is his indifferent and ruthless brother, Sesshomaru.
It is said that he has lived twice as long as Inuyasha, and it is said that he has spent more than 400 years, but he has only recently reached adulthood when he is converted to the age of a human...... That's about nineteen years old.
And the strength of human beings is too strong to effectively prolong lifespan, just like the shrine maiden Kikyo, if that didn't happen fifty years ago, although she has unimaginably powerful spiritual power, but she won't stay young forever because of this-
It will only be like any other normal human being, aging and dying over time.
But the life of an alien is extremely long, and the stronger the strength, the longer it is. If they hadn't died due to external forces, some of the great monsters would have lived longer than human civilization combined.
"Shall we ...... Now what? β
Looking at the demon slayer girl lying on the ground, and then at the direction of the mountain behind the end of the village, Sunset Kagome felt a little undecided for a moment.
Inuyasha had been looking at the end of the village frequently, looking absent-minded, unable to say what he felt, and he wanted to see the shrine maiden as soon as possible.
But the strange thing is that from just now to now, no one has come from that side, and Ming Naraku was directly killed when he rushed over...... What the hell is going on, don't they want to know what's going on out there?
And there are still four soul fragments on Naraku's body, at least come out and see where it fell!
But at this time-
Bang!
A faint muffled sound came from the direction of the mountain behind the end of the village, and at the same time, they all felt the ground beneath their feet, or the whole mountain, tremble slightly.
And before they could reactβ
Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!
A series of muffled noises and vibrations began to occur continuously, the muffled noises became louder and louder, the vibrations became more and more obvious, and the air seemed to have a faint solidified atmosphere, and the sky seemed to be more gloomy.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"It's ...... What's going on? The little fox demon Qibao swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and reached out to grab the hem of the Maitreya mage next to him.
Even he had a very strange and indescribable feeling, as if winter was approaching and a catastrophe was coming.
Inuyasha and the others glanced at each other, and then, Maitreya said his thoughts in a serious voice-
"I'm afraid it's Naraku's problem just now...... Kikyo-sama and that person should have come out to see what was going on, but they didn't do that at all. β
"And since the cave in the back mountain is the place where the Jade of the Four Souls was created, there must be a very special place there, and it is impossible for Lord Kikyo to do useless work, and she and the other ...... The other person noticed there at the same time, probably for some purpose......"
"I don't know why, but if it involves some very complicated and troublesome spells and rituals, then Naraku will definitely cause impact or destruction if he breaks into it directly......
