Episode 54 Drum of Thunder
The tiredness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made Horikawa Thunder Drum want to find a place to lie down like this.
Even this filthy ground.
But no, the enemy is still chasing after them, and if they catch up, it will really be a dead end.
"How many days is this?"
She had forgotten how long she had been on the run, but the enemy was still unwilling to give up on her, as if they were going to kill them all.
Obviously, he has never done anything bad, let alone attacked humans. At most, I get too excited and get too loud when my neighbors protest that the drums are too loud, but I haven't done anything to hurt humans at all!
But those pursuers said that she was some kind of heretic, and that sooner or later she would endanger the whole of human society. Rather than facing difficulties in the future, it is better to stifle the signs of disaster in advance.
This statement is simply ridiculous.
However, no matter how Horikawa Thunder Drum explained, those people didn't listen to him at all.
In desperation, the girl could only choose to resist.
After all, she didn't want to die like that.
In fact, Horikawa Thunderdrum had heard about some yokai being hunted by humans a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to be his turn now.
She just wants to be an ordinary mourning god and live a peaceful and peaceful life!
But those people destroyed it.
Is there really no place for their monsters in this world?
"Ah, not good. ”
Horikawa Thundergu's vision was in a trance, and she fled sleeplessly for a few days, and her spirit and body were almost unable to support it. In addition to feeling extremely tired, he also suffered a lot of injuries to his body. The worst thing is the left hand, which is almost impossible to use.
"Have you reached your limit?"
sighed softly, although he was very unwilling, but now he is indeed at the end of his rope!
Well, forget it.
There will be today, and the girl actually expected it a long time ago.
If she hadn't changed into a new form to adapt to the changes of the times, I'm afraid she would have died out long ago like other youkai!
It's just that her efforts can only go so far.
There are no special regrets in my heart, and the only thing that makes Horikawa Thunder sad is that in the end, he still hasn't been able to see that person again.
I heard that she was sealed by a monk, but until now, the girl has not found out where she was sealed.
The biggest possibility is probably long gone!
Thinking about it this way, Horikawa Thunder Drum felt that "death" was not so terrifying.
If you're lucky, you might be able to see her again.
However, after Fu Fushen died, did he have to report to the underworld?
"Hiss......"
A sudden chill to the bones suddenly interrupted the girl's thoughts.
"W-What's going on?"
Horikawa Thunder Drum couldn't help but panic, did the enemy catch up so quickly?
No, this kind of evil aura that makes people's bones tingle is definitely not something that that humans can have.
The sky didn't notice the others, and the girl immediately turned her head to the ground.
The dark surface of the ground is unusually calm.
However, Miss Fu Fushen felt a strong sense of unease, especially the area under her feet, which was a little dark and unusual. The spilled stars and the light of the moon seemed to have been absorbed.
"What's that?"
In the thick darkness, there seemed to be something terrible hidden. Although he couldn't feel a trace of demonic energy, Horikawa Thundergu's heart instinctively felt fear.
Dangerous, extremely dangerous, much more dangerous than the humans who were chasing her!
The cold sweat on the girl's forehead slowly seeped out, and she felt more nervous than ever.
Even if she was mentally prepared for the catastrophe, she didn't plan to just be caught.
It's not that she hasn't thought about escaping, it's just that Horikawa Thunder Drum clearly knows that that thing has completely locked on her. Moreover, with her current physical condition, there is absolutely no way to escape too far.
In that case, it's better to give it a go.
At least let the other person taste their own power.
Fu Fushen took a few deep breaths and calmed down.
I think I'm really unlucky, I've just got out of the predicament, and I'm in a new crisis!
The darkness on the ground suddenly began to wriggle, as if it had life.
"Woohoo. ”
Without warning, several black tentacles suddenly burst out and rushed towards Horikawa Thunder Drum like lightning.
"Damn it!"
The girl didn't expect the other party to attack herself without even saying hello. In a panic, he could only try to retreat back.
The tentacles were chasing after her, faster than hers, and they were about to touch her toes.
"Cut. ”
Horikawa Thunder Drum couldn't help but bared his teeth, stretched his hands forward, and a large drum half her height appeared in front of her, and there were some flower textures on the drum surface.
The black tentacles touched the drum and immediately wrapped it tightly.
“!”
The girl's body trembled violently, although it was just a former body that had been abandoned, but it was not completely unconnected. When I was entangled in a circle of tentacles, the slippery and soft feeling made goosebumps rise all over my body.
However, Horikawa Raigu didn't just use this side drum as a defensive weapon.
"Oh yes!"
She took two steps back, then lunged forward and kicked hard into the middle of the drum on the other side.
"Taiko Drum [FantasticWoofer] (Dream Subwoofer) ......"
Sound waves that could be seen very clearly with the naked eye were released from the other side of the drum, and the tentacles that were wrapped around it were still squirming non-stop, but suddenly there was a collective pause, and then, like a balloon that had been blown up, all the tentacles swelled in an instant, exploding into countless black fragments.
The subwoofer's attack range is very wide, and the tentacles within a few tens of meters in front of it were all cleaned up at once.
The aftermath didn't stop there, and continued to spread forward, the darkness on the ground bearing the brunt, and immediately after being attacked, it rolled like boiling water.
"Hum. ”
Suddenly two red balls of light lit up in the thick fog, as if they were a pair of huge eyes. The red glow is extremely penetrating, and even the black mist can't hide it.
Horikawa Thunder Drum subconsciously stepped back, she knew that the other party was ready to move seriously.
After a few battles with the humans who were chasing her, the girl learned a very important truth.
Strike first!
"Five drums [thunder and lightning rattle]. ”
The girl kicked the drum again, and if it hadn't been for the fact that the stick had broken while fighting those people, she wouldn't have chosen this rough way.
Although it can increase its power, it can cause a lot of damage to the drum.
It's just that at this life-and-death moment, I can't take care of it so much.
The barrage of countless lightning bolts continued to fall to the ground like waves, and the black mist did not choose to dodge, and withstood all the thunder and lightning.
Each lightning bolt that struck that thick fog caused a violent churn. However, the thing was unusually strong, and no matter how many blows it struck, it never showed any signs of collapse.
However, under the repeated attacks, the color of the black mist began to fade gradually. With the flickering thunder, Horikawa Thunder Drum saw that inside that layer of black fog, a humanoid object could be seen looming.
But its head is much larger than its torso, and it looks very weird.
Not a single lightning bolt could break through the defenses of the black mist, and after the attack stopped, the concentration of the mist quickly returned to its original state, as if it had been replenished from somewhere.
"What a monster. ”
Even after eating two fierce attacks on himself, there was nothing wrong with it!
The girl felt more and more out of breath, with her current physical condition, it was impossible to support the battle for too long.
But ordinary attacks don't work at all.
"Do you want to use it again?"
Horikawa hesitated for a moment, and took out a small yellow and green hammer from his arms.
This gadget called "Wanbao Mallet" is not something that belongs to her.
Half a year ago, when Horikawa Thunder Drum was hunted by humans for the first time, he almost lost his life.
Thankfully, someone came to her rescue.
However, the man was also severely injured as a result, and he died not long after.
Before dying, the other party handed her this small hammer, which is said to be a magic weapon used by a mage of one inch in the past.
"Please take it...... Return it to the descendants of the mage......"
After saying this, the other party choked his breath.
Naturally, Horikawa Thunder Drum had no intention of getting her hands on this treasure, but by chance, she discovered that if she struck her Japanese drum with a Wanbao mallet, she could increase its power several times.
It is also with this magic weapon that she can escape the encirclement and interception again and again, and live strong to this day.
However, with the uninterrupted use, the ghost power hidden in the Wanbao mallet has become less and less. According to Horikawa's estimation, if you use it again, the magic inside will be completely used up!
At that time, the mallet will also be transformed into an ordinary hammer.
"I'm so sorry. ”
The girl was full of guilt and said to the small hammer in her hand.
What others entrusted to her, she didn't expect to be used by her first!
And more than once.
If you happen to meet the descendants of the One Inch Mage in the future, how should I explain to them?
However, before that, you must first be able to live.
This is the last chance, if you can't defeat the other party, you will only have a dead end!
It can be said that success or failure is all in one fell swoop.
Around the Horikawa Thunder Drum, several crimson flat drums appeared in a circle, and unlike the huge Watai drum, these drums were hexagonal. The front also has a ba-pattern, which looks like the three heads of Magatama are placed inward.
The girl took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and then slowly raised the mallet.
In front of the hammer, a small magic circle was forming.
"Hah!"
Horikawa Thunderdrum violently exhaled a turbid breath in his chest, and his eyes burst out with a brighter light than Hirozuki.
"Eight drums [Thor's Fury]. ”
In an instant, a thunderbolt with overwhelming momentum lit up the entire sky......
