chapter.12 Battle, Brave, Fire
[Long life~ Thank you for your company! (The atmosphere seems to be a bit serious...... )】
There are many ways to become stronger, but there are very few ways to really grow.
Generally speaking, the best way to improve yourself is nothing more than to think more and learn to solve different problems in different environments.
As it stands, Hiiragi's upcoming action is the most efficient at the moment, but it's a bit out of the ordinary.
There are a lot of Kabanes, and it is a bit tricky to rely on solo combat to kill them one by one, even if the mental power can allow you to use your ability continuously, your body can't bear it.
It's better to say that if you can use the ability to cut time at will, Hiiragi won't be so hard.
So, Hiiragi, who got up from the ground, also began to sprint.
He kicked Kabane in front of him, and his incapable foot simply kicked it away, hitting a tree trunk before stopping.
Roaring, Kabane in the darkness shook the glowing heart, and all of them appeared in Hiiragi in an enveloping way.
Instead of stopping where it had been, Hiiragi stepped over a bumpy area, severing the tree with his left hand as before, allowing the falling trunk to overwhelm the Kabane who tried to rush up.
The sound of collapse, screaming, and cutting sounds, all mixed together irritated Hiiragi's eardrums.
The Kabanes in the village below rushed with weapons in hand, and the Kabane in the woods kept cutting down the trees due to Hiiragi, stopping them from moving forward.
Therefore, Hiiragi also needs to pay attention to the cabans that have passed through the gaps and are hidden behind the leaves that may rush out at any time.
"Shhh!!!h
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. A figure suddenly appeared in the weeds on the left. Armed with a mace-like weapon. The yelling Kabane swung his weapon at Hiiragi.
Hearing the sound of the breaking wind, Hiiragi immediately used his ability, swept his right hand upwards, and after cutting off Kabane's mace, his left hand, which was just free, pierced Kabane's heart.
Dealing with the most threatening Kabane, Hiiragi also managed to reach the camp and picked up the half-burned wood.
Holding the burning wood in his right hand like a torch, he confirmed the way forward and began to run.
There are at least a few dozen of them in the Kabane in the woods. So Hiiragi's method is to set the entire forest on fire in order to solve the Kabane inside.
After all, it hasn't rained lately, so it should be easy to set those trees on fire.
The method has been decided, and Hiiragi has begun to implement it.
You don't have to think about it to know that since Hiiragi is running towards the clearing, Kabane who climbs up from under the village and Kabanai who comes out of the woods form a wall of flesh blocking Hiiragi's way.
So Hiiragi had to use himself as bait to lure all these guys into the woods.
It doesn't seem like a long journey at all, but it's not easy to implement perfectly.
Just took the first step. Hiiragi also felt that his vision suddenly became dim, and everything he saw was a little distorted. Wobbly, wobbly.
Is the beating of the heart a feeling of vomiting, a sign that the capacity is reaching its limit?
Hiiragi has rarely encountered such a situation so far, after all, in most battles, Hiiragi also adopts a quick and quick approach, rather than a protracted battle.
The reason for not wanting to fight for a long time is also obvious, in addition to often being like Genos (who will be injured in most battles, regardless of the strength of the opponent...... In addition, it is due to the huge cost of using the ability.
Mental power is not a perpetual motion machine, it takes a certain amount of time to recover.
Thinking of this, Hiiragi also stopped.
He leaned against the wall and breathed heavily, choking on the dust from the burning fire, causing Hiiragi to cough too.
The object in view was still shaking, as if the Earth had lost its gravitational pull.
Sweat slid down his forehead, and breathing became difficult.
Damn, this is happening at a time like this.
Now Hiiragi has only discovered that his mental power is not as 'sufficient' as he imagined.
Even if you have experienced many misfortunes and witnessed many deaths, it is not enough to hone your mental power to the extreme.
As Xiao Na said, she is too gentle, and this is where she is most vulnerable.
Is it also wrong to think for other people and make the right decisions for other people?
Thinking of this, Hiiragi, who smiled bitterly, also stretched out his left hand to the burning flame above his right hand.
A momentary burning pain brought Hiiragi to his senses.
Of course, it is only sober, and it is impossible for the mental power to recover suddenly because of the pain.
Although in the movie, you can always see the hero in a critical moment with adrenaline rush, and finally rely on perseverance to defeat the opponent, in fact, even in the infinite world, that situation will not happen.
Hiiragi isn't a hero.,It's just a small character struggling in this troubled world.。
The burned left hand made Hiiragi cheer up, and his drowsy head calmed down a little.
Hiiragi didn't use his ability to repair his wounds, but felt the pain and rushed towards the Kabane group in front of him.
Some of these cabas were armed with weapons, some waved their hands, and they relied on their numerical superiority to block Hiiragi's path.
"If you launch the ability......"
Hiiragi also thought about the actions he had taken at the Manifest Gold Post before.
Launching the blade composed of abilities, but that will bring huge consumption, and at the moment when the mental power is already insufficient, if you use that move, the ability is estimated to be unable to be actively released.
After being bitten to death by the Kabanes, Hiiragi doesn't like this ending.
While confirming Kabane's actions, he looked for an opportunity to break through.
It's a solo battle that hasn't been done for a long time, and it doesn't rely on any one person, but only uses its own strength.
Hiiragi, armed with a torch, has also become a more obvious target.
Of course, Hiiragi doesn't know if these Kabanes still retain the five senses of humans, but his actions are very eye-catching.
Treading on what can be described as a bumpy road. The flickering light of the fire made Hiiragi's shadow flutter like a ghost in the middle of the night.
An irritating voice rang out in Kabane's hoarse throat. Hiiragi also calmed himself down. Find the best breakthrough point in action.
In the eyes of outsiders, he must be very procrastinating......
There is no way to do this, this is a life-threatening situation, how can it be easy to make a decision.
Challenging the main god is also an action that requires long-term consideration, but it is not a movie plot that can be achieved with a lot of blood......
If you shout, 'I'm going to defeat you!! In this way, you can defeat the enemy, and Hiiragi will already become such a character.
Returning to reality from the sea of thoughts, breathing in the air mixed with unpleasant smells such as rancid odors and rust, Hiiragi also began to move sideways.
Behind the walls formed by the Kabanes is the woods. But Hiiragi didn't have to force his way through.
It is easy to see that the cabanes are emerging from the left and front, and there are relatively few cabanes on the right.
Smack.
Behind them, Kabane swayed their bodies wrapped in tattered fabrics, ignoring the fire under their feet, stomping on the wood, and walking towards Hiiragi.
The moon in the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the bright moonlight disappeared, and everything except the torch in Hiiragi's hand began to disappear into darkness.
Hiiragi, who had already begun to move, also used his left hand, which was still in pain, as a weapon. Constantly consume mental power and use the ability to solve the enemies in front of you.
"Roar, ah, ah, !!!!"
"Damn."
Once you close the distance with the Kabanes, they will pounce on them one by one. Don't give a chance to rest.
He kicked away the Kabane in front of him, fell behind him due to the reaction force, and grabbed several hands in an instant.
One of the Kabanes bites Hiiragi directly on the shoulder, forcing Hiiragi to smash the torch into Kabane's head as a weapon.
The flames shook violently in the darkness and slammed into Kabane's head, sparks flying and looking like they were about to be extinguished, only to brighten up as Hiiragi lunged forward.
Pulling his body to escape from Kabane's hand, he severed Kabane's arm with his left hand as he struggled.
Blood splattered onto the torches, dimming the glow.
Fighting a bloody path through the crowd in Kabane, Hiiragi gritted his teeth and roared angrily.
"Hmm!! Ahh!!!h ”
I feel like I'm stupid, but it does work.
The blood began to boil, and Hiiragi also threw torches into the air, deciding to use his abilities in large quantities here.
The torches thrown forward spun in the air, drawing an arc, and before reaching the top, Hiiragi began to use his abilities extensively.
Speed yourself up, keep speeding up, cutting through time, making everything slow.
Kabane's movements in front of him seemed to have been slowed down, and his open mouth full of rotten flesh, yellow-black teeth, drooling lips, wrinkled skin, and rolling eyes could all be seen clearly.
The sound seemed to be amplified by the loudspeaker, and the sound of Kabane's chewing came like a drumbeat.
Dodging Kabane's palm in front of him, Hiiragi also grabbed his hand, pulled him to his side and dodged to the side.
Because their movements seemed to slow down, Hiiragi easily stepped on the back of Kabane, who had been visited by himself.
Jumping up as he jumps, grabbing a cabana by the neck with his right hand, severing his neck as he accelerates.
Lifting its head, the spinning torch reached the top, and it began to fall.
The Kabanes slowly turned their heads and stared at Hiiragi running above them.
Before they could reach out and grab themselves, Hiiragi stepped on their shoulders and began to move quickly.
Something in his brain began to break, and he felt his heart beat faster suddenly, and that beating turned into pain that stimulated Hiiragi's nerves.
Even if he sped himself up, it was not an easy task to walk on the shaky Kabane.
There was a feeling of falling with each foot, and their shoulders were indeed very solid, but the skin outside of the heart of some of the Kabanes was rotten and slippery.
A foot on top of the head of a long-haired cabane. Hiiragi also took a big leap forward with this.
Reach out your right hand and grasp the end of the rotating torch. The flickering flame was about to be extinguished. Hiiragi also put it on his chest, and jumped with his back to the wind.
The outstretched hands of the Kabanes were like the arms of sinners emerging from hell, and they looked especially terrifying under the light and shadow of the flames.
His left foot landed on Kabane's shoulder, and when he was about to jump, a hand suddenly emerged from the darkness.
That hand directly grabbed Hiiragi's left foot, and Hiiragi didn't panic in the slightest, and used his ability to grasp the hand that grabbed his left foot and cut it off.
In order not to let the left foot cut off the shoulder of the Kabane which stepped on directly. Hiiragi also kicked his right foot, and the force flew towards the crowd on the left.
Hitting Kabane's head, he felt a blow to his forehead in his back, and then the force of inertia began to decrease.
Hiiragi also seized this opportunity, and when the nearby Kabane was knocked into the air by himself, he got up and continued to use his ability to kill enemies in his way.
His left hand was stained with blood, and from a distance, it looked like the flames surrounding him were consuming them, and it continued to pierce Kabane's heart with unusual force.
The seventh, the eighth......
Twelfth ......
I didn't have the heart to count how many Kabanes I had killed. Hiiragi also saw the woods not far away through the gap.
My legs hurt and my head was dizzy. His lips were dry, and Hiiragi didn't pay any attention to the negative effects, still fighting.
It feels hard and painful, and even then, there is only one way forward.
Some people will laugh at the stupidity of their actions, but this is also the best way Hiiragi can think of it.
There is no one to rely on, and the only person who can help you is yourself.
Swinging his arm again, the feeling of weakness and powerlessness began to swell and eat away at his consciousness.
However, after a series of battles, we finally reached our destination.
Bumped into the Kabane in front of him, even if the other party wanted to bite Hiiragi's neck, but because the accelerated Hiiragi also ruined his next move, he finally failed.
In the field of vision, I saw the final destination, which was the woods.
The Kabanes began to gather in this direction due to Hiiragiya's actions, and Hiiragi also sliced through the body of the enemy in front of him with his hand knife, passed through the flesh, and threw the torch in his hand to the ground.
I took off my coat and put it on it as fuel, and the small flame began to burn violently.
In order to prevent Kabane from trampling it out, Hiiragi also begins to fight around the fire.
On the way, the surrounding trees were cut off, but this time the triangular cutting method was used to make the trees fall in the specified direction.
Rumbling noises kept coming, and trees fell, kicking up dust, flattening weeds, and crushing the bones of the Kabanes.
Sensing the temperature behind him, the flames spread by the torch engulfed the nearby space, and the air became hot.
"Oooooooooo!!oo
It worked!!!
Hiiragi also swung the wooden stick he picked up in his hand, slammed it the head of one Kabane, and then turned around and punched the other Kabane's heart.
Bypassing the fire, Hiiragi watched as the flames began to spread.
The surrounding trees were also set ablaze, and the flames continued to grow like fireworks that had burned before the dusk.
For the clothes of the Kabanes were very dry, and they burned when they touched the flames.
Even if their hearts are wrapped in a film of steel, their bodies will not be able to move if they are burned by the flames.
As soon as he got close to the flames, the clothes on his body were set on fire, and Kabane, who didn't feel it, still aimed at Hiiragi and continued to attack.
The clothes burned, followed by the dry skin, the hair that had not yet fallen out, and Kabane, who was not afraid of the flames, rushed to the central Hiiragi again and again.
Cutting down the tree again, the burning tree collapsed to the ground and swept away the nearby Kabane, attracting one Kabane after another.
As the saying goes, a spark can start a prairie fire, and the current situation is so simple.
The torches, which Hiiragi also threw on the ground, ignited the dead grass and trees nearby, and then began to spread.
With the imminent flames set to it, Hiiragi is ready to find another chance to break out.
However, this time it was much easier than when I came in.
One by one, the Kabanes were incapacitated by the fire, and they fell to the ground weakly as they wailed, unable to effectively attack Hiiragi.
You can still use it while you can. Hiiragi also picked up the thick branches on the ground. Smashed it at Kabane in front of him.
The branches are accelerated. Like a chariot, it knocked a part of Kabane into the air, and Hiiragi took the opportunity to burrow through the exposed hole.
There was a steep slope below, and Hiiragi's stalled body and tired limbs could no longer support Hiiragi to make other reactions, and the whole person rolled down the steep slope.
Hiiragi, who was used to pain and cut his skin by branches and sharp weeds, subconsciously protected his head and rolled freely in the lush weeds.
The back was hit, the skin of the elbow was cut, and blood flowed out. A wound also appeared at the corner of the mouth.
The field of vision is constantly changing, the direction is constantly reversed, and the body is accelerating at the same time.
With a bang, the whole person fell into a pool of water surrounded by bushes.
The Kabanes lost their sight for a moment, and they didn't smell it, and they all walked towards the location of the flames.
Hiiragi, which was soaked all over, also floated on the surface of the pond, and the water line was about the place where the ears were located, and it was still able to breathe.
The current Hiiragi doesn't want to be active either.
Every muscle in his body screamed.
Actually, it's more of a mental drain.
Because of the buoyancy of the slight ups and downs, the moon overhead shrouded in dark clouds suddenly revealed half of its figure.
And then. Suddenly it was covered with a large number of dark clouds.
In an instant, the moonlight fell on him. It was as if the world was watching me, and I felt cold.
In fact, it's just the illusion of the cold water in the pool.
Lying on the water, Kabane's roar never stopped.
They were once human beings and are now enemies of humanity.
Are they outcasts?
Or do you want to ask for a life, but you fail?
Either way, they're all losers in life......
Hiiragi doesn't know if he's on the winning side or the losing side, at least now he has a chance to change his situation.
This short battle made Hiiragi feel like a year.
I don't know if it was God's mercy or mockery of Hiiragi, but it began to cry......
The icy rain fell on the face, one by two, then more and more, and finally overwhelmingly.
"Ah...... What a stroke of luck......"
The rainstorm is coming at this time.
The fire in the woods has just spread, so it will be extinguished in a short time.
The rain hit his face, but the slight pain was magnified, as if it was hitting Hiiragi's heart countless times.
Even reading the archive doesn't work.
Hiiragi also does not have the ability to change the weather.
Even if there were, it wouldn't be so easy to do.
At this time, a number popped up on the side.
【57/100】——
I only killed fifty-seven.
At first, Hiiragi thought it would be more.
Is this how two fists are hard to beat four hands?
A strong man can never really be an enemy of the world, and he is not a real god.
Not only that, but in addition to that number, there is also a dialog box that looks like a chat room.
Dialogs are slightly retouched lace dialogs with a paragraph of text inside.
[Oh, your approach is really impressive, but it's still as unfortunate as ever, and your luck is very bad. It's funny that I almost succeeded, but it rained heavily~ Do you sometimes make such assumptions? 'If only I didn't have the ability to cut time', so that you don't have to be summoned to infinite worlds, you don't have to struggle in these worlds, you don't have to complete tasks, you don't have to go through the trouble of getting enemies, but you can end your life very quickly, have you ever thought so? 】
It's really a bad joke, and Hiiragi has fought until now precisely to live, how can it be shaken by this.
[I thought you would act in a decent way, that is, waste some time to kill Kabane, or be with the hero and heroine, but instead chose to act alone.] What's wrong? Do you want to kill me like that? That's not going to work, you haven't had enough fun for me. The most attractive thing about you traversers is that you have so many possibilities. Whether it's the possibility of misfortune or the possibility of happiness, it's something we want to see. 】
It's because of this that Hiiragi won't let the Lord God get his wish.
[But I'm still looking forward to your performance, don't you feel that the bonds you have established in various worlds are completely useless now? Because no one has come to help you, and they can't help you. 】
That's true......
But there's no way around it.
Whether it's the blank siblings, or Hatsuse Izuna, or Estes, or Izumi Takatsuki, or anyone else, it's impossible to break this dimensional wall or anything.
It's just that......
If you want to see each other again, you will have a reason to fight.
And Hiiragi also promised to let Xiao Nagi return to the real world alive.
Listening to the sound of raindrops, Hiiragi also raised his right hand.
Water droplets continue to drip from the right hand, which has been washed clean by the rain.
He clenched his fist as if he had grabbed something, and swung it to shatter the main god's chat box.
"My battle has just begun, and my beginning, but yours is over." (To be continued.) )
