In July of the 568th year of the Altino calendar, it was called the suburbs of Kyoto

"Fighting in the form of consciousness is not necessarily more advantageous, because once you enter the world of the divine consciousness of the Eight Miscellaneous Great Serpent, it is a completely different type of combat method. Gengoro said: "This method of warfare is a two-sided blade, and if the frieze is reversed, it is not that the Eight Miscellaneous Snake will be attacked from both sides, but that we will be broken by each one." ”

"Why? Is there anything special about Consciousness Warfare?" asked Niel, puzzled.

"This ...... I don't know if Miss Nill has heard of a past incident of the Bai family that happened on Alcatraz Island......"

"I once saw such a record in the papers, the training of the five-color flag, in order to make every soldier train like iron, in addition to the training of the **, the spirit is also strictly required. One of the teams was asked to practice until he picked up a stick and pointed it at the target, making a sound of replying and answering, and then the target fell. ”

Contrary to the shock of seeing the eight-fold snake in the world of consciousness, Lancelot quickly calmed down and told the two women beside him the anecdote.

"Well, so...... The meaning of this story is ......"

Izumi Sakura, who is accustomed to thinking rationally, and Kaede, who doesn't have many humor cells, are confused after listening to Lancelot's words, and they can't capture what he wants to express.

This experiment proves to us that a strong will can surpass reality, and as long as you are determined to win, no matter how strong the enemy can be, especially ...... Now this world of idealism. ”

Looking up, Lancelot's fighting spirit was extremely high, "Everything we see, between fantasy and reality, what can transcend all this is a strong will." In this kind of world, I have long studied the methods of warfare, what kind of eight-way snake, just a hallucination, can't scare me. ”

Uneasy about her husband's strong self-confidence, Izumi Sakura didn't have time to say anything, Lancelot suddenly took a sharp breath, and then, as if in a dream, his body quickly swelled, becoming taller and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, he became a majestic giant comparable to the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes.

It's not just people who have become huge, even his Fenghua knife has also extended in size, becoming a giant divine weapon that can be used by this hundred-foot giant.

"Speaking of which, your monster is just big and powerful, if I had a body as big as you, wouldn't it kill you with a single sword?"

Lancelot's approach was even more intense than he said, and when the process of becoming huge finally stopped, he was even twice as big as the Eight Snakes, and if it were in the real world, he would have been towering into the clouds, standing murderously in front of the Eight Snakes.

Kaede and Izumi Sakura at the bottom were dumbfounded, and although they also considered whether they should follow such an act, they didn't know how to do it, and secondly, it was difficult to imagine what kind of battle this would become, so they had to give up and run away to avoid being affected by the battle between the two trolls.

As if frightened by this too unreasonable change, the Eight Snakes did not take any action, but just quietly watched Lancelot's actions.

"Hehe, isn't it great to destroy everywhere because of your big body? Now I'll let you know the pain of being slapped flat!"

Rantious, Lancelot's roar was as loud as dozens of thunderbolts in unison. Taking advantage of this momentum of thundering, he raised his knife and slashed down, wanting to deal with the Eight Miscellaneous Snake in one fell swoop.

The eight-fold serpent, which had been silent, finally moved. As if loosening a full bowstring, the Eight Snakes counterattacked extremely quickly, and the remaining three heads erupted into walls of blazing fire at the same time, attacking the enemy from different directions.

A sea of fire suddenly appeared in front of him, scorching and scorching, and before he could defend himself, he was followed by a burst of freezing and cold air. The sudden change in temperature difference, the still shining flames were instantly condensed into ice, and even Izumi Sakura and Kaede, who had already hid in the distance, were uncomfortable with the aftermath of the ice and fire.

After a duet of fire and ice, the serpent spat out petrified gas and acid, striking at the already fragile body.

So, in front of Izumi Sakura and Feng'er, the giant who didn't move, as if it had turned into a weak colossus made of flour on the outside, exploded with a bang, stretched down from the head, shattered and disintegrated in an instant, and there was nothing left.

The first step in invading the world of the Great Snake's consciousness, the gigantic operation, was declared a failure less than a quarter of an hour after it began.

※※※

"Isn't it true that if you want to win, you can win?" Still inaudible, Niel tried to guess the type of battle her brother might encounter at the moment.

"It's not that simple, you know? The unit that could be used as a gun with a stick was wiped out in the first practice battle. ”

"Why? Aren't they strong-willed?"

"They were really strong-willed, but the team that wiped them out, after the victory, everyone was dumbfounded, and kept saying that I am a chariot, I am a chariot. ”

"Huh, what kind of war is this?"

"It is true that the battles in the world of consciousness are ever-changing, but no matter how exaggerated they become, the key to determining the strength of power is still willpower. ”

"I think my brother is very strong-willed. ”

"If it was shortly after he ascended the throne, I would have bet that he would win, but now it's different, for the matter of Lu Shen, although he doesn't want to affect us, he has been pretending not to care, but he is very guilty in his heart, how can he be strong when he fights with this mood?" Gengoro said: "Moreover, Oda Xiang put most of his spirit on maintaining the consciousness of the Eight Miscellaneous Orochi Heavenly Heart, and now there are only a few simple consciousness orders left, if it is compared to the concentration of will, no one has won her." ”

"But if it doesn't get weaker at all, we won't last long. Dodging the onslaught of flames, Niel yelled at Gengoro, worried that the battle plan had not been realized for a long time.

According to the original estimate, Lancelot's side is attacked by the world of consciousness, and his side is attacked by the real world, as long as he can affect the Oda incense inside, so that the big snake has no Tianxin consciousness support, his own chances of winning will be greatly improved, but until now, the big snake's ice and fire attack is still fierce, and he can't see the slightest fatigue, and Nier is sincerely worried about her brother's safety.

(It shouldn't be a failure, but most of the time you're in trouble that is difficult to solve...... ）

Gengoro accurately estimated the situation. With Jiuyao's extreme speed, he quickly dodged and moved, and also paid attention to Niel's condition from time to time, and reached out to help at the right time.

"I don't think they won't be without progress, the strength of the Eight Miscellaneous Great Snake and the control of the Heavenly Heart have not declined, but the speed between offense and defense has indeed slowed down, and my Ziwei Xuanjian feels it very clearly. Gengoro said: "So the basic strategy has not changed, we still have to separate Oda Xiang and Yaqi Orochi first." ”

"It's easy to say, but what do we do? We can't let things drag on like this, can we?"

"Two ways, from the inside or from the outside, create a strong impact and separate the consciousness of the two of them. ”

"Nonsense!" Hearing this nonsense that she had known for a long time, Niel yelled angrily at Gengoro.

It's not nonsense. Gengoro thought in his heart, Miss Niel didn't seem to feel it yet, but Amakusa Shiro should have noticed it, so his expression kept tense, fighting the Yachi Orochi while probing the surroundings without a trace.

The heavenly masters around here are not just the three of them. Although it was well hidden, he still confirmed that there were other Heavenly Rank masters hiding nearby, peeking at the battle situation here, and the intention was unknown.

Unlikely to be Dolgon. Seriously injured, he has no ability to participate in the war, there is no need to come here to join in the fun, as for the rest of the people...... Gengoro couldn't figure out who it would be for a while.

The other party has not yet indicated his movements, but even if he intends to take advantage of the fisherman, I hope that this person will not go crazy enough to help the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes......

※※※

The previous conversation between Gengoro and Niel has become the best portrayal of the world of consciousness. Before the entire huge body was shattered, Lancelot, who was protecting himself with all his might, escaped in time and did not destroy with the huge body.

"Bastard, this tactic is useless, you bastard to lie to me!"

Because of the failure of the tactic, Lancelot naturally has such dissatisfaction, but a tactic has different consequences in the hands of different people, and purely from the perspective of determination, he is indeed not as good as nothing.

The plan was unsuccessful, but the Eight Snakes attacked. With the only three remaining giants, staggered eruptions of different elemental attacks, making the three of them scramble and unable to cope.

If it were in the normal world, it would be impossible for even the Eight Miscellaneous Snake to erupt ice and fire with the same snake head, and the excessive temperature difference would make it self-destruct before attacking the enemy, but this world with superior willpower gives it this ability.

There was no other better tactic, Lancelot adopted a positive attack, but under the overwhelming power of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake, he quickly tended to have the upper hand. Izumi Sakura's spear and Kaede's sword both helped a lot in the guerrilla attack, but they couldn't do any real damage, so Lancelot alone took on most of the attack.

"If you continue like this, you won't be able to win at all...... And maybe after one fight, there will be another one, this is a world where anything is possible!"

In the face of the increasingly blazing flames and frost, Lancelot sweated profusely, urging the Heavenly Demon Gong to the extreme, blocking the poisonous mist and acid from afar, and repeatedly approaching the Eight Miscellaneous Snake.

Compared to his struggle, Izumi Sakura and Kaede are bleak. The two girls knew that they were not strong enough to participate in a battle of this level, but watching their husband fight hard alone, this was not something that could be done just by knowing.

The great changes in the vitality of heaven and earth in the battle of Kunlun Mountain, Quan Ying and Feng'er have gained a lot of benefits, and they feel the increase in the strength in their bodies, but it is only a quantitative increase, not a qualitative breakthrough, and it will not help much in this kind of battle. The disparity in strength is too large, and it is not that any tricks and tactics can work, but ...... In addition to learning to cheer meaninglessly like snow, there should still be something you can do, right?

During this time of contemplation, Lancelot continued to add scars to his body. Without Gengoro by his side, it became almost a one-man fighting snake, and it was inevitable that the situation would be bad. Burns, frostbite, and injuries from the poisonous mist continued to increase in number on his body, and Lancelot gritted his teeth to hold on, but he couldn't see where the chance of victory was.

It wasn't just a matter of thinking about how to close the gap in strength, but Lancelot also wondered from time to time what the purpose of this battle was? Was it right to sacrifice the whole of the book in exchange for Renes's safety? No matter how high-sounding the reason sounded, he knew it wouldn't convince him.

I hope to find a way to be able to explain both at the same time, even if I sacrifice something, it is better than holding such guilt, but the road in front of me is so narrow, why is life always forced to choose between several reluctant options?

Lancelot is not a thinker, and at this moment, he can only keep waving his knife and fighting non-stop. The pain of fighting the Great Snake is much easier to face than the confusion that haunts the heart.

The shock wave of the big snake erupted, and the speed increased exponentially, Lancelot cut through the wall of fire and flashed the poisonous mist, but was sprayed by the frost, his bones were torn apart, his hands and feet were frozen and stiffened more quickly, and he was secretly screaming that it was not good, he had to cut off his limbs first, escape the next blow, and then use the ether immortal body to heal, how did he know that the temperature near him suddenly rose sharply, and in an instant, the surroundings turned into a sea of fire, and the temperature was just right to dissolve the frost of the frozen body, so that he could get out of trouble.

(How?)

Before thinking about it, the blazing flames of the big snake erupted, and Lancelot, who had just escaped the frost and distress, immediately changed his knife momentum and wanted to dodge, but the surrounding area changed and regenerated, and the space that originally had nothing suddenly changed into a boundless ocean.

"That's fine, but why ......?"

The reason for the change in the surrounding environment is below, Izumi Sakura and Kaede concentrate on trying to affect the environment with their heavenly consciousness.

This is the strategy that Izumi Sakura came up with, "Although the strength is not enough, but we want to help the husband's mood, we should not lose to Oda Kaka's insistence on protecting the Masoro", Kaede, who has always put Lancelot and Xiaocao first in her life, has no objections, and the two girls no longer participate in the battle head-on, but operate the Heavenly Heart, trying to influence the structure of this space, so that the situation is favorable to Lancelot.

With self-awareness, creating an environment that is favorable to oneself is already the ability of the strong heavens and above. The two women did not have this kind of cultivation, but in this space of consciousness, a strong belief allowed them to do it. In terms of overall implementation, Izumi Sakura's dragon blood has a certain resonance with the consciousness world of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, using her as a medium to gather her own and Feng'er's Tianxin consciousness, reducing the difficulty of this plan and turning the impossible into a possibility.

With their help, Lancelot turned the tide step by step, and a thought came to his mind.

(By the way, if they can do that, then I'...... ）

With a certain idea, Lancelot jumped to his feet, his body suddenly rose high, and he firmly grasped the Fenghua Knife.

"Heroic!"

Drinking the tricks of the Hongyi Knife, the blazing fire appeared on the Fenghua Knife, and began to fly like a swarm of fireflies, thousands of fire energy or swirling, or shooting directly, frantically attacking the Eight Miscellaneous Snake.

The momentum is quite terrifying, but this kind of scattered attack has the upper hand against the mediocre group, and it is dwarfed to kill the Eight Miscellaneous Snake, which is still stronger than himself, and Lancelot knew this before, so he didn't use this formula.

But now it's different. Before the thousands of fires hit the eight-fold snake like a meteor shower, and before it was about to make contact with the snake, Lancelot took a sharp breath, and then urged the power upward, and thousands of fires condensed together, first forming eight sun-like blazing flame balls, and then connected into one gas, turning into an incomparably huge sun flame knife.

Although they are both strong heavenly positions, Lancelot, who is not pure enough in his cultivation, will not be able to display this divine skill. However, the special surname of this space allows Lancelot to ignore the actual conditions and unleash this Sun Knife.

"It may not be so easy to believe that I can become a giant stronger than the Eight Snakes, but if I can practice this in time, I am convinced of that. ”

With this confidence, Lancelot swung the Sun Flame Knife and slashed at the Eight Snakes. Dolgon once used this magic skill to gain the upper hand in the battle with the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, and it was somewhat helpful to draw a gourd by himself.

This tactic is quite correct, with the assistance of Izumi Sakura and Kaede, the changes in the surrounding environment have repeatedly reduced the power of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake's attacks, but Lancelot's Sun Flame Knife has taken advantage of the situation to attack fiercely, and it can slash the impact element blasted by the Great Snake head-on, turning it into a reciprocal form of combat.

Perhaps sensing that it was at a disadvantage if it continued like this, the serpent's form began to change, splitting from three heads, as if it wanted to return to its original nine-headed form, but Lancelot didn't give it such a chance.

Grasping the critical moment when the power of the big snake was declining due to the division of energy, Lancelot raised his knife with a wave, and with the meteor fire rain created by Feng'er and Izumi Sakura, the power of the Sun Flame Knife increased dramatically, and he forcibly cut one of the snake heads of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake into two halves.

The expected amount of blood did not appear, and the body of the snake, which had been cut in half, slowly dissipated like smoke in the air.

"It worked!"

Unable to claim to be the most outstanding record since the battle with the Great Snake, Lancelot was overjoyed, and once again danced his sword, slashing at the remaining two snake heads.

It had never suffered such a frontal blow, although it was just a virtual thing conjured up from the world of consciousness, and the Eight Miscellaneous Snake also showed fear, but when Lancelot swung his knife to attack, what it erupted this time was neither flame nor ice, let alone a physical poison, but an extremely dazzling white light.

As if purifying this space, the area where the white light shines, the vague chaotic state disappears and changes, first starting from the division of heaven and earth, and quickly blue sky, red sky, white clouds, green grass, and yellow flowers appear. The sea of fire and huge waves that burst out from the fierce battle were wiped out in an instant, and the world became an incomparably beautiful fairyland.

The clear sky is as blue as the sea, and the white clouds are like boats floating on the sea. The cool breeze blew on the body, bringing the rich fragrance of flowers and grass under the summer sun, and hearing the neighing of some crisp or majestic animals, and animals began to appear in this world, large and small, but almost all of them were strange creatures that had never been seen before.

"It's ...... What's going on?"

Lancelot was dumbfounded, unable to make a sound. This scene of a perfect world made him involuntarily dissipate his fighting spirit, the flames condensed on the Fenghua Sword all dissipated, and his chest was peaceful, and he even wanted to descend to the ground to pick a delicate flower to smell it.

The feeling of the body was so comfortable, but there was a place in his head that screamed almost like a scream, reminding Lancelot not to let his guard down. However, apart from boosting his luck and paying attention to all directions, he didn't know how to be vigilant.

"Ah......h

What finally destroyed the peaceful atmosphere was a low cry from Izumi Sakura. I didn't see any attack on her, and she had been standing there smiling, but suddenly her face turned pale, and she fell down.

"Miss Izumi Sakura!"

Feng'er, who was standing next to her, was taken aback and hurriedly squatted down to investigate. Izumi Sakura was unconscious, her hands and feet were shaking, and there was no trace of blood visible on her pale face, her expression distorted by pain.

"How so?"

Feng'er tried several first-aid techniques in an instant, but none of them worked. Izumi Sakura, who was semi-unconscious, still subconsciously confronted the source of this pain, her fists clenched, and after a few efforts, her body was covered with a layer of cold sweat. After a while, purple-black blood slowly seeped out of her mouth, ears, and nose, looking terrifying.

(It looks like this, it's a blow to the brain, but I've been by her side all the time, how can I ...... Could it be?)

A thought flashed through Feng'er's mind, but before she could take action, some invisible spiritual power fluctuation, like a blast of thunder, exploded directly in her brain. The strong impact instantly paralyzed the connection between the brain and the limbs, and Feng'er fell down, her whole body was sore, but she couldn't move a finger.

His own tactics were too focused on the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, but they ignored Oda Ka, who was controlling the Orochi. If you had been alert to this earlier, you would have been wary of the mental attacks that Oda Ka had used when she fought with her before.

Only a celestial magician like her can cast it, using spiritual waves to directly attack the enemy's brain. This move had caused him to fall to the ground immediately and lose his combat power, which was the best tactic in this world of consciousness at this moment. With herself as a medium, Izumi Sakura, who concentrated on the heart of heaven to help her husband, bore the brunt of it, and the spiritual thought wave hit the brain against the current, and it hit hard.

Now the whole body seemed to be pierced by a huge electric current, paralyzing and stiff, unable to even move a finger, Feng'er opened her eyes with difficulty, and saw that not far ahead, Lancelot also fell down with his head in his arms, quite painful, and the Eight Miscellaneous Snake stretched its body, roared, and moved towards this side......

The bombardment suffered by Nianbo was far heavier than Feng'er, Lancelot stretched out his hand and wiped it, and the corners of his nose and mouth couldn't help oozing blood, and he finally took advantage just now, and it seemed that he lost all in this counterattack.

The body felt tense again, and the second wave of spiritual attacks came again, but this time it was not only the thought wave that blew up the brain, but also a large number of intricately and complex fragments, whether meaningful or meaningless, like a flood that collapsed and burst the embankment, frantically impacting the minds of the three people.

The picture is very chaotic, and there is a lack of organization between each other, or the countryside of Honhon, or the pavilion of Kyoto, but there are more parts where Lancelot can't call the name of the place at all. He grew up in the mountains and wilderness, and he has a good understanding of all kinds of animals and plants, it is impossible for him to have so many animals and plants that he has not seen, and for a while he almost thought that he had seen the scenery of a different continent or even a different world.

When the giant beast roared in the image, and the huge golden dragon body flew across the sky, Lancelot knew that he had witnessed the scene of the dragon gods looking down on the world at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.

Along with this scene, a deep wave of loneliness, loneliness, and resentment entered the hearts of the three people, turning into a whirlpool, and all the rest of the emotions and thoughts were rushed to the point of nothingness, and finally turned into a bottomless dark abyss, completely empty and empty.

If Gengoro were here, he would be able to analyze this wave of thought. The so-called psychic attack, if the self-mind is used to hit the minds of others, it is inevitable that when it is cast, the self-mind is also in a completely open and undefended state, and all the information that should be released and what should not be released is poured out in one go.

Feng'er and Izumi Sakura, in the bombardment of this huge wave of thoughts, lost consciousness completely, and only Lancelot could still support it.

(Who would be willing to be reversed like this and lose like this...... ）

Gritting his teeth, Lancelot propped up the ground with his knife and got back to his feet. He didn't dare to look back, the scene he saw just now, Feng'er falling to the ground, and Izumi Sakura's mouth and nose bleeding, made his heart ache incomparably.

I felt dizzy and unsteady, and I took it for granted that Izumi Sakura and Feng'er behind me probably lost their combat power.

"Lizard monster, are you coming here, I won't let you hurt my woman!"

Raising his Fenghua knife, Lancelot struck the numb leg a few times with the hilt of the knife to restore the flow of blood, and then rushed towards the Eight Miscellaneous Snake.

He knew that his condition was extremely bad, and he might not be able to last long fighting the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, but he couldn't lie down and do nothing, and let himself be shattered with the two women behind him when the shock wave hit.

Run as much as you can, and take the big snake away as much as possible, so that when the big snake attacks, it won't affect Izumi Sakura and Kaede behind. However, when the flames erupted from the Great Serpent were cut away by his sword, and he only took four or five steps back, Lancelot suddenly understood that the beast's current situation was no better than his own.

The use of mental attacks in the world of consciousness is several times the loss under normal circumstances, and the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes ...... No, Oda Xiang was forced to use a mental attack, and as a result of the combined influence, her own spiritual body was also extremely weakened, especially when she had to continue to use the mind wave to suppress the actions of the three of her own, and the strength of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake was even lowered.

The situation seemed to be in his favor, but in fact, Lancelot himself could only pick up his knife with great difficulty, swinging it indiscriminately, and could not make any systematic attacks.

"Don't fight anymore! I'm tired, aren't you tired? What did you get by messing with this monster snake?

Nothing, right?"

Out of a sense of exhaustion from the battle, Lancelot swung his sword to block the fireball that had greatly reduced its lethality, and shouted at the Eight Snakes.

"What are you doing like this? Do you want to protect your compatriots? Open your eyes and see, you killed more Kyoto people than in the earthquake! What kind of protection is this? If you continue like this, your compatriots will be killed by you before the land sinks!"

Lancelot believed that these words would shake Oda a lot, however, he didn't shout it to hit the other party.

Everything is enough, everything should be over......

After such a long battle, with so many casualties and casualties, Lancelot felt tired of it.

Stick to the fighting spirit and continue to fight, the best result is to lose both, but what do you want to do in a lose-lose endgame?

If it's really as Feng'er said, that little banshee is not a monster with no surname and no emotion, then everyone can talk about it. Maybe it's a little late now, but it's better to try than not to do it well.

"I'm sorry to say to you. I sacrificed your compatriots for the sake of my country......"

Lancelot deliberately avoided the word "must." Although he was extremely disgusted with the matter of Lu Shen, everything was a choice, and without his own choice, things would not have developed in this direction, and when he realized the cruelty of what he had done, he did not want to beautify himself or make excuses.

What was very peculiar was that he suddenly felt that if Senior Brother Wang Wu was here, he would definitely agree with his statement...

...

"I can't stop talking about Lu Shen, and it's only natural that you want to hate me. However, you shouldn't be united with the Great Snake for revenge, right? If you want revenge, I won't hide in particular, you can find me at any time, but at least for now...... Now we can do something together, right?"

Lancelot shouted these words almost hoarsely, sweat in the bloodstains, all over his body, and he even felt that he would step on the ground at any moment, and he would fall to the ground, too tired to get up again.

Izumi Sakura was still paralyzed on the ground, unrecognizable, and her mind was still in a state of confusion due to the resonance of the dragon's blood.

Feng'er is conscious, desperately trying to regain her mobility, but it is still useless. And looking at Lancelot, who was waving his knife and advancing in the impact of ice and fire, and at the same time raising his head and talking loudly, the back of the majestic shore, the corners of her tense mouth suddenly showed a smile.

If Miss was aware, she would definitely laugh at herself with this topic for the rest of her life, but from this point of view, this man ...... So handsome.

"You and I actually know very well that even if the book is not sinkable, only one percent of the people who can survive will survive, and one percent of the people who must live in hell for generations. But since you have such a strong force, why don't you cooperate with us?"

After stumbling in his footsteps, Lancelot almost couldn't hold the Fenghua knife steadily, but he still said loudly: "The so-called heavenly position, isn't it the honorary title of using manpower to change the will of heaven? Gathering all the heavenly masters of the two countries, maybe there is a way to let me live one or two percent more, which is better than us dying here together, right?"

Turning human lives into numbers is what Niel hates the most, and Lancelot doesn't like it either, but if this calculation is not for sacrifice, but to save as many people as possible, it may be less difficult to accept, right?

I don't know if it was because of the near exhaustion of power, or if it really reacted to these words, the attack of the Eight Snakes became weaker and weaker, allowing Lancelot to move closer to that side.

"Well, for the sake of sincerity, let's talk without using force. ”

Throwing away the Fenghua knife in his hand, Lancelot spread his arms wide, and walked forward with a wry smile in this unarmed and defenseless attitude. On the one hand, he also knew in his heart that he no longer had the strength to hold the knife.

※※※

"Hmm...... The boss seems to have done it, and the movements and strength of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake are not as strong as before. ”

The change in the situation of the world of consciousness directly affects the battlefield on the other side, and Gengoro clearly feels the difference.

The same thing, Nile and Amakusa Shiro both noticed. Nier is certainly full of joy, but Amakusa Shiro is happy and worried, worried about Odaka's situation.

But in addition to being concerned about the battle situation, Gengoro also keeps an eye on the passage of time. Perhaps because of the increasingly strong earthquake, the chaotic leyline air flow was not easy to observe, but when the four hours were full, he still found that the earth air flow accelerated, and the energy converged towards a corner of Kyoto.

(It's time, the final safety device should have appeared...... ）

The only person who can indulge in that equipment is herself, but the battle situation is tense, if she leaves, will Miss Nelle be able to hold on? Will she encounter danger?

Just as he was hesitating, the eight-fold snake suddenly moved. As if sensing something, it headed for Kyoto Castle with an astonishing oppressive force.

The bombardment of flames and frost increased exponentially, and poisonous mist and acid also appeared together, and the three of them were in a hurry and overwhelmed by the highly dense attacks.

"Oh no!"

Weakened in speed and internal force, Nile finally tripped over the wall of fire after a few dodges, grazing against the shock wave of petrified gas. The effect is very obvious, starting from the waist, the skin quickly petrified, and soon affected her slender and beautiful legs.

Fortunately, there has always been no shortage of guardian knights around this Princess Reyns, and Amakusa Shiro and Gengoro, who arrived in time, recited the same incantation, and rushed to reduce the petrified area as soon as possible, and then drove it away.

If the Yachi Orochi seized this opportunity to attack, it would be a good position to catch them all, but when the three of them broke away from the battle, the Yaqi Orochi immediately headed towards Kyoto City, raising smoke and dust, and the shock wave swept away everything that stood in its way, and soon approached Kyoto, and could see the Kyoto Castle that was still burning in the fire.

The three people in the rear chased at full speed. Gengoro and Niel were thinking about the last safety device, but Amakusa Shiro was worried about Hideyoshi, who might still be in Kyoto City, and the Yachigo Orochi had obviously lost his mind, and if he let it get close to Kyoto, he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

"What should I do?

"There's no other way, let's chase it!"

Even with one person, Gengoro's Jiuyao extreme speed was still incredibly fast, but judging that it was impossible to stop the big snake, he changed his direction to the place where the earth qi vein flow was the strongest.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"It's not quite right, it's better to go and remove the last safety device first. And...... I don't really like being watched all the time. ”

Someone who had been hiding his breath and watching the battle in the suburbs from afar in Kyoto, whatever his intentions, it was time to force him to show up. The intuition of the Eight Snakes is very sensitive, and this is how it found Dolgon hiding on the side of the last trip, and now it has rushed into Kyoto to force out the mysterious master, and this person will join forces with Amakusa Shiro to fight, how can it last for a while, right?

This was Gengoro's calculation, although he couldn't guess who that person was, but after a little calculation of the list of heavenly masters in his head, he believed that no matter which person on the list was, he could only choose one way to fight.

Amakusa Shiro didn't think much of it, he just tried his best to shoot towards Kyoto City, hoping to save his friend first.

The position of the Yachigo Orochi was in front of him, but as if he was shocked by something, he suddenly stopped, and the three snake heads scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, allowing Amakusa Shiro to rush into the fire of Kyoto City first, and after a few searches, he found a pile of broken corpses of flesh and blood, and from the almost unrecognizable fragments of clothes, he recognized them as the guard samurai beside the general, and Amakusa Shiro, who discovered this, suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

On the other side, the Eight Miscellaneous Snake seemed to have made a discovery, and a flame bomb blasted towards an attic, and at the same time that the entire attic turned into bursting smoke, a black shadow flashed into the sky like a spark, and was forced to appear by the Eight Miscellaneous Snake.

It's not Jiuyao's extreme speed, nor is it any light body exercise, but with the help of a pair of bat-like flesh wings, this person's speed has mastered the word "fast" to the fullest, and he flashed three flame bomb attacks in a row on the way up.

If he seized the opportunity to attack, he might have gained something, but he only stopped in mid-air and laughed arrogantly when the Eight Miscellaneous Snake returned to defense.

"Hahaha~~ Sojiro, no, cousin, you're too ugly, aren't you? The battle is so embarrassing, and you have become such a weird look, your heavenly demon skill is crying for you, hahaha!"

Perhaps because he was so happy, he burst out laughing in mid-air, not caring if he would be attacked at this moment, and he rolled back and forth with laughter, madness.

"What about your most proud Jiuyao speed? Why don't you show it and take a look? When we used to compete in martial arts, didn't you like to use this set to cooperate with the Heavenly Demon Skill the most? Why can't you use anything now except Spitfire and acrobatics? What a shame! Hehehehe!"

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and because of the rapid changes in the vitality of heaven and earth, thunder and lightning flashed endlessly in the clouds. Under the reflection of the huge golden electric light, this thin little man looked very insignificant, but the pitch-black complexion of his body was even more gloomy, and a pair of bat-like wings on his back flapped gently, and many long sharp needles were pierced up and down his body, and his limbs were tied by heavy chains, and four metal refining balls were attached to clamp his movements.

None of Nelle, Gengoro, or Lancelot, who was communicating with Oda Ka in the world of consciousness, had ever seen this person. But there are many people on Reynes's side who have a relationship with him, Feng'er was once seriously injured in his hands, and if Ailing is here, he will recognize this person as his mother-killing enemy, the prince of the current demon clan, Qires.

"Hahaha~~ Wow!"

The wild laughter suddenly stopped, and Chirez spurted out a mouthful of the boss's blood, and his whole body almost fell down.

"That bastard human lunatic! I was hurt like this, and the next time we meet, I'll be ...... Fuck, why does this chain keep pulling on and on!"

As if he had ignored the Eight-Folded Snake, Chirez didn't care that the corners of his mouth were still overflowing with blood, and after tearing it hard to no avail, he continued his thousand-year-old habit of biting the chains and chain balls that had blocked his power for a long time with his extremely sharp white teeth.

Stimulated by his action, the angry Eight Miscellaneous Snake erupted into flames and frost again. The power of the two elemental shockwaves was so strong that it could bury any strong heavenly master in the world, and Qi Reith didn't dare to make a hard connection no matter how crazy he was, and sank straight down to avoid these two bombardments.

"Hee-hee-hee~~Can't hit it!Cousin, aren't you dazzling? Aren't the snake's eyesight good?

A few more!"

Whether it was the old enemy Li Yu, or the ulterior motive Dolgon, or even Oda Xiang and Amakusa Shiro, they all thought that after he was seriously injured, he had left Yuben and found a place where the demonic energy was strong enough to heal, but they all ignored the madness and fierce surname of this black fierce beast.

If it weren't for the fact that his power was sealed by the artifact, he would not have only had such a cultivation, and he would not have been defeated by Li Yu in repeated battles, and was forced to heal in the humiliating form of a bat cat. But even so, he will not hide obediently, but will take advantage of this good opportunity to give all his enemies a brilliant revenge with his limited strength!

Chires, who had fallen downward, fell in a pile of rubble, and before a new wave of fire attacks could hit, he had already flown up again, turning the ground beneath his feet into a sea of fire, calmly dodging the blow.

The Eight Miscellaneous Snake, which was about to attack again, stopped for some reason, and in the golden snake pupils, the fierce light narrowed slightly, and turned into a puzzled gaze, staring at Chires.

"What's the matter? Why don't you attack it? Since you have become a beast, you have to abandon people's hearts...... Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you didn't have a heart. So what are you waiting for, attack with your fiercest and most vicious determination!"

It's not that the Eight Miscellaneous Snake doesn't want to attack, the flames that were about to erupt are so strong that it can't help but spew high heat from its mouth, but its eyes are staring at the human body in Chires's hand, and there is chaos in its deep consciousness.

It was a scarred old human, just a breath away from death, and the snake didn't understand why it had forcibly stopped attacking, but an indescribable familiar, anxious feeling made it unable to erupt and attack as it instinctively did.

"What are you waiting for? Why don't you do it? Probably because you are afraid of this dead old man, right?

How is this possible, how many people have I arrested and threatened you in Kyoto City before, didn't you immediately behead them and me? Why did you delay this time? Is it because of your human adoptive father? Cousin, you are out of the ordinary!"

Smirking wildly, Chirez did not honestly float in the air, but rolled and froze, swirling around the eight-fold snake from far and near, conjuring all kinds of fancy and disturbing people's minds.

Hideyoshi, who was firmly grasped by him in his hands, was obviously half-unconscious, and even if he was tossed like this, he didn't react.

"Huh? This useless human seems to be dying, isn't the human being dying when he dies? Cousin, what do you think I should do? I only know how to tear apart the human being, but I can't put it back, hahaha~~"

The internal strength of the hand was submerged, and the slightest hot air penetrated out from the claws, forcing into the critically ill human body where the blood flow was extremely slow, and it had a major impact, except for a slight moan from the mouth, the blood foam could not help flowing from the corners of the mouth, and even the body began to emit bursts of white smoke.

This action undoubtedly also stimulated the Eight Snakes, and its three snake heads all took action and chased after Chirez, but because they did not launch a substantive attack, Chirez easily flew and dodged.

Chires's wild laughter resounded throughout Kyoto, and even the people who were busy fleeing the disaster were shocked by the evil laughter, and looked in horror at the black bat shadow that seemed to be synonymous with death.

"Hurry up, hide and seek is not like this, your Jiuyao is very fast to show it! In this way, you spray fire again, this time I don't dodge or hide, let's make a barbecue together! But move quickly, otherwise when your stepfather is fully cooked, the meat will not be fragrant." ”

"Incense, you're big!"

It wasn't Oda Ka who shouted this, but Ni'er, who was lurking below and couldn't bear it anymore. Unable to sit idly by while the monster's evil deeds were discovered, she told Gengoro to concentrate on finding the final safety device while she returned to the battlefield and waited for her time. At this moment, she burst out with all her Heavenly Demon Skill, didn't care about any sneak attack, kicked Qirez with one kick, and seized the opportunity to grab people with her free hands.

The strength of the two sides was a day apart, and Nier's sneak attack did not work at all, and was easily dodged by Chirez, but it seemed that because of the serious injury, Chirez did not fight back, but only distanced himself from the sneak attacker.

"Hahaha, good kick, long-legged chick, you're still so energetic, but next time you kick lightly, if you kick my cousin's adoptive father to the sky, I'll tear you up immediately!"

Because she couldn't spare her hand, Chirez directly sent this sentence out with "Heavenly Demon Fury", and Nier's brain was dizzy, and the entire auditory system was almost destroyed, but she still endured the severe pain and kicked out again.

"Monster, you go die first!"

This kick has a necessary surname, because this monster has obviously not been discovered, and the old man of Amakusa has sneaked up behind him, ready to attack, and when he falls into a disadvantageous position in order to dodge this leg, although Amakusa's sharp blow may not be able to hurt him, there is a high chance of rescuing Hideyoshi.

The fierce sword qi with all his might, but he didn't make a sound, and when Chirez took action, the sword qi was already scratching the blood marks on his back. The sharp pain that penetrated through the heart and lungs made the black beast let out a miserable scream, and as soon as his hands were weak, he threw away Hideyoshi, who was firmly grasped.

This beast has really been severely injured by Li Yu, and now that his strength has dropped to a low point, it is a good time to deal with him. ）

Perhaps Chires' injury left him with only a small heavenly strength...... Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Amakusa Shiro had to give up this tempting fruit, because the first priority now was to rescue the hostages, not to kill the enemy.

This tactic translates into a shocking fact in the next moment. Chires, who seemed to have been hit hard by Amakusa's sword, suddenly stopped howling, and with a twist of his arms, a wave of demonic qi swirled and stirred, skillfully misplacing everyone. Amakusa Shiro's lack of greed did not prevent him from falling into the trap of the enemy's deliberate weakness and suffering heavy losses, but he still could not recover the fact that it would happen.

The next moment, under the extremely shocked gaze of Amakusa Shiro, he was shocked to find that the weight of his hand had sunk, and the blade had pierced the old man's body horizontally, and the warm blood sprayed on him, a major blow that made him lose his mind and scream in panic.

Closing the sword was the first reaction, but in the shocked situation, this reaction was not fast enough, and the black shadow that suddenly appeared in front of him took the lead.

"Hey, old thing, don't you humans pay much attention to etiquette? How can you throw things around? Even if you don't hit the insects on the ground, it's not good to hit the flowers and plants......

Without warning, the evil black shadow suddenly appeared very close to Amakusa like a god and a demon, and after saying the previous paragraph with a serious expression, to Amakusa Shiro's surprise, he did not attack, but pulled the corners of his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and made an extremely mocking grimace.

"Hee-hee, I'm great, right? It's a human joke, I just learned it, wahahaha~~"

is obviously superior to the seriously injured opponent, but he was tricked by his strange body and tactics. Looking at the grimace full of provocation and ridicule, Amakusa Shiro wanted to fight him to the death immediately, but remembered that his friend who had been hit by his sword and was still caught between the two sides, and he was about to grab someone and retreat immediately.

"It's a step slower, if you know how to do it, come and grab it again. ”

Fast and strange, Chirez moved as swiftly as lightning, his body moved, grabbed the hostage again, spread his wings, soared out, dodged a chase from Niel, and at the same time narrowed the distance between him and Amakusa Shiro.

"Hahaha, the demons also do good deeds, Amakusa, after you cut your old friend indiscriminately, you must be very worried about the aftermath, right? ”

"Stop!Stop~~!"

The fragile body that was snatched away had no reaction at all, and Amakusa Shiro rushed forward with all his might, hoping to prevent the regret from happening, but when Chirez's arms suddenly exerted force, forcing out a terrifying explosion of what was originally held in his hand, and suddenly pressed into a fist-sized bright red blood ball in an instant, Amakusa Shiro knew that he was one step too late.

"Don't~~"

Unable to stop it from happening, Niel let out a terrible scream, unable to believe that there was such a vicious evil monster in the world.

The scream was quickly silenced. Compared with the mournful roar of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, the kind of roar of grief that spread for nine days and shook the earth, Nier's scream was like a child's whisper, and even Amakusa Shiro in the frenzy was shocked by this sound roar, and his brain was dizzy, and he restrained himself, and slashed at the hateful monster with a sword.

With a backhand blow, Qi Reith forced the blood ball in his palm to explode, and with the drilling and whirling strength of the Heavenly Demon Gong, he burst out with thousands of blood arrows, stopping the sword qi that slashed over, and at the same time spread his bat wings and flew, and after flashing two flames in a row, he stopped in front of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake, and floated for a while.

"Hee-hee, cousin, thank you for helping you fulfill the common dream of every human child. Your human death daddy......"

Facing the golden snake pupil that burned with hatred, he made his favorite grimace again, and Chirez stuck out his tongue with a half-smile, "...... Go to heaven!"

※※※

What happens externally does have an impact on the world of consciousness. Lancelot, who threw away the Fenghua knife in his hand and walked towards the Eight Miscellaneous Snake step by step, was very pleased to see that the Great Snake had gathered flames, and seemed to be willing to accept his opinion on peace talks, and also expressed considerable peace sincerity.

"Can you understand what I'm saying? That's fine, you see, I don't have any weapons with me, that's my sincerity......"

Shouting loudly as he walked, Lancelot also felt stupid, but in the face of this raging snake, in order not to irritate it too much, this showed that it was needed.

However, halfway through, when the fierce murderous aura that the Eight Snakes had already collected reappeared, and the golden snake's pupils were full of violent aura, Lancelot couldn't help but wonder if he had been lured by this big snake?

(Is it a trap?...... No way, the little banshee doesn't look like someone who would use such a trick, as for the big lizard...... If it had this kind of brain, it wouldn't have been controlled by the little banshee...... ）

At this time, he was still able to trust his enemies and trust his own judgment, which may be said to be a rare thing for Lancelot. However, even though he speculated that "something was going on in the outside world to irritate her", it still did not help to calm the anger of the big snake in front of him.

"Well, try it again...... Hey, I don't mean anything to you, you see I don't even have a knife, let's talk about it calmly, and then ......."

Lancelot fully expressed his sincerity, the problem was that calming down was the most impossible thing for the other party to do at this moment, and with a violent inhalation, the blazing flames erupted violently.

At close range, Lancelot had no way to dodge at all, so he could only try his best to use his protective power, desperately thinking about the belief in holding on, and flew back at full speed, retreating from the attack range of the big snake.

It was not easy to resist the flames, but the rapidly changing frost and poisonous mist made Lancelot suffocate and then be bombarded by the petrified gas.

(I don't feel my hands and feet, don't be afraid, this is the world of consciousness, as long as my belief is strong enough, this gas can't petrify me, I ...... How is that possible...... ）

Exhausted, Lancelot struggled to even concentrate, and was unable to strengthen his faith to turn things around, so he had no choice but to use forcible luck to shatter all the petrified and corroded limbs, and then use the ether immortal body to heal, and he himself also took advantage of the situation to drift back and fall to safety.

"Hey, can you calm down? I don't know what's going on in the world out there, but we should be fine...... Ouch!"

Lancelot still didn't give up, and shouted to the serpent from afar. He suddenly felt very tired, and if he wanted to go to war and fight, he could do it with a single word, but it would take a hundred times more effort to build a bridge of peace on both sides of the hostile side.

"It's okay for us to continue fighting, but every moment of our war, there are people who are losing their lives, and if we let go of the fight to save people, we can save a lot of things, didn't you swear to protect your book?"

Dragging his tired body, Lancelot dodged the attack and shouted loudly, but when the topic of "the common people" could not bring the big snake back to calm, he had to admit that Oda Xiang, who was controlling the big snake, had completely lost his mind, and might even have completely been completely swallowed up by the big snake, and it was impossible to negotiate peace.

(Muddy bastard, after working hard for most of the day, is it over?What's going on outside?The excitement is so big, could it be that Shiro Amakusa or Old Man Hideyoshi are dead?)

I thought that the king's guess was accurate and accurate, but he couldn't bring any help to himself, and in desperation, he had only luck to catch it, retrieve the Fenghua knife not far away, and try to fight this battle with no chance of winning again.

Under the influence of consciousness, the whole space begins to change. The feeling of the singing of birds and flowers and the fairy world suddenly disappeared, the sky was as gloomy as ink, and the thunder and lightning frantically slashed to the ground, cracking the green grass into deep scars, and all creatures that were touched, big or small, were all charred in the cry of pain.

The wind blew like it was endless, with a strong smell of blood, and it didn't take long for it to rain blood, turning the world into a manifestation of the bloody wind.

The body of the eight-fold snake also began to change, the white snake scales that were originally like real pearls quickly turned black, and the appearance of the giant python also distorted and changed, and the volume became more huge, and it slowly took on the shape of a dragon. After a short time, a giant dragon with sharp claws, sharp teeth, and huge wings, which almost touched the sky with its head raised, appeared on the ground, and the intense killing intent in its golden pupils increased tenfold compared to the foreground.

"That's what the big lizard was like, isn't it? What is it now? Dragon Quest? It's a shame there's no audience around. ”

Perhaps because he was too unrealistic, Lancelot, who was alone with the dragon, had no fear, and just muttered to himself.

"The hands and feet are sore, but the guy on the other side seems to be full of vitality, I really don't know how to fight this battle......"

Even if he kept complaining, as long as there were people behind him to protect him, Lancelot could only hold on to the hilt of his knife and fight this battle. However, if that black thing really has the strength of the head of the legendary five dragon gods, he will be slapped flat by him in most of the confrontations, and when the time comes, the two girls who desperately want to protect will not be able to escape the power of his big feet, and they will really be scattered in two.

Fang Zi smiled bitterly, and a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Lord Lancelot, this time...... Can you leave it to me? I want to take care of it, maybe I can make things a little better. ”

"Oh, Feng'er, are you awake already, it's good, I'd be sorry if I didn't say the last thing to you and was slapped by that lizard. ”

As if to explain something, Lancelot turned his head with a smile, but was taken aback the moment he turned around, and the Fenghua knife in his hand fell silently.

"Feng'er, you ......"
