Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Dead End
Time goes back to before the sound of horses' hooves.
The two of them, who had solved the illusion of Taro Bing and his younger brother Immortal Kawa Genya almost at the same time, suddenly felt that familiar tingling sensation coming from their hearts again.
It's as if their hearts are parasitic with some kind of deformed worm that gnaws at blood vessels, picking out where the blood is pumped out and biting and tearing.
Then, a great sense of remorse instantly enveloped them, invading their tenacious spirits.
[Why, do you feel so sad......]
Tears poured out almost uncontrollably, and there was no way to mobilize thoughts to stop it.
The confusion in the hearts of Genichiro and Immortal became more and more obvious, and the dull pain in their hearts slowed down their movements even more, and the situation deteriorated inexplicably.
During this period, Genichiro was even more keenly aware of the purple horror bar in his field of vision, and it actually rose a lot!
He suddenly realized that the abnormality he felt in his heart was caused by the phantom that killed the "Taro Soldier".
These enemies, similar to the ghosts of the Ashina Demon (such as the transparent monkeys in the hall), will only attack wildly, and will not defend at all.
Dealing with them is as simple as looking for an opportunity to cut the entire phantom apart with a single sword.
But after killing them, the rise of the horror bar is the most troublesome thing!
Because Genichiro has neither a fear suppression fan nor a god's flying snow at this time, he is helpless against the horror strip.
Ichiro can imagine that the pain in his heart must be closely related to the progress of the horror bar.
When the horror bar slows down, you may go into cardiac arrest and die.
And this is the disgusting thing about the drowning blood ghost technique.
When Drowning Hime performs the Blood Demon Technique, once an enemy enters the water, the object of their guilt will appear as a phantom condensed by the pool's water, becoming their enemy.
However, whether or not these phantoms have the combat power to rival the demon killers is not controlled by the drowning ghost, but is consistent with the recipient's impression of them.
In other words, these apparitions are as strong as the objects of guilt in the recipient's memory.
If the recipient does not resist, or is unable to resist, they will be killed by these apparitions.
However, if the recipient overcomes his own state of mind and destroys these illusions, he will feel even deeper guilt until he dies of a heart attack.
Therefore, the greatest pleasure of drowning is to watch the victims drown in their own tears.
Whether these recipients resist or flee in a hurry, they will be melted by their own tears, without exception.
And she just has to sit back and enjoy the results.
But what she didn't expect was that the phantom generated by Genichiro's guilt would be so strong!
She had never seen a person as tall as two and a half meters tall in a ghost, let alone a human.
This also made her curious, so Drowning Hime simply spit out more black mist and fell into the water, wanting to see what kind of surprise Kuichiro could bring her!
And so—
When the sound of the horse's hooves sounded, a person and two ghosts turned their heads at the same time, looking at the giant + giant horse combination rising from the water in amazement!
"I am! Ghost garden shape part Masataka is also! ”
The roar of a thunderbolt from the clear sky caused a violent concussion in the cave, and the red-glowing walls around it cracked once more, and a large amount of magma overflowed from it like a fountain.
The temperature inside the cave rose again, and the fiery red magma fell on the ground around the lake, leaving there to be little place for people to tread.
In addition to Genichiro, who is very familiar with the Oni Shape Division, whether it is the drowning of the ghost, or the undead Minoru Kawa, who has always been reckless, they are all frightened by this loud roar.
It can be seen from this that even the phantom ghost form is already terrifying.
The head of the seven guns of the reed name, the leader of the war of thieves, is it a wasted rumor?
"What is this......
Immortal Chuan covered his colic heart, and looked at this ancient military general wearing Warring States armor, holding a sickle of more than three meters, and riding a horse with a height of more than two meters, and he was speechless.
The other party's size was so huge that he couldn't even be sure if the other party was a human or a ghost.
This little ghost called Ei Na Koichiro knows some strange guys.
Just as they were amazed in their hearts, the Oni Garden Shape had already spun the huge and incomparable weapon in his hand and launched a charge towards Genichiro!
"Teacher ......"
Genichiro stared at the oncoming oni-katabu, his face more complicated than ever.
The Onigata Department is not a teacher of Genichiro's martial arts, he used to be the leader of the bandits, and what he taught Genichiro specifically was how to dominate the country and command soldiers in battle.
Anyway, the first batch of soldiers of Ashina were his bandits.
During the battle of Otemon, Ichiro did not witness the death of the Onikatabu with his own eyes, but only heard eyewitnesses say that the Onikata had just repelled a group of enemies before the battle with the wolf, and it was the time of physical and mental fatigue.
And the war horse under his seat, Ghost Deer Fur, was frightened by the ninja's firecrackers, rampage on the battlefield, and finally fell off the cliff, and one man and one horse disappeared.
However, in the game, the Onigata Department was killed by the wolf because of exhaustion, and he muttered a sentence before he died.
"Ichiro, I'm sorry......"
This person who is more like his father than Ashina Isshin, Genichiro didn't get to see the last side after all.
Therefore, Ichiro's guilt towards him is more like a son's failure to fulfill his filial piety to his father.
[If it weren't for my incompetence, why would the teacher be on the battlefield at the age of sixty......]
Grandpa Ashina was already seriously ill, and the sacrifice of the Oni Shape Department finally caused the last pillar supporting Koichiro to collapse, so he decided to take it and become a scumbag.
Because he would never let the teacher die in vain.
But he didn't expect to see this man again in such a way.
"You little ghost, where the hell did you come from! Who are these people! ”
Ignoring the drowning and shouting, Ichiro overcame all distractions and forced his concentration to get up.
After learning the Ninja Technique of Seeing Through, everything he saw in his eyes slowed down by 10%, but for a galloping horse, this slowdown had little effect.
At a distance of more than ten meters, the ghost shape part was reached in an instant, and the ghost deer hair jumped high and let out a passionate roar, and the scythe spear in the hand of its owner that was about to reach the top of the cave was also smashed down like Mount Tai!
Although Koichiro had already burst into tears, he was staring closely at the trajectory of the gun's head and was ready to fight back.
"The surname is Wei's name!"
Immortal Chuan roared, wanting to remind Genichiro that if he didn't dodge this powerful attack, he would definitely be split in half with a knife!
But this guy actually wants to fight hard, isn't this looking for death?
However, Genichiro ignored Immortal Chuan's reminder, and at the last moment when the giant spear was about to fall on the ground above his head, Ichiro raised his sword directly to meet him like a batsman who had seized the opportunity to swing his bat!
"Oh, did you give up?"
Drowning Ji narrowed her eyes, as if she didn't expect a good show to be ended like this.
However, with a crisp sound of "bang", the sound of almost bursting their eardrums swept through the audience, and the water in the lake trembled wildly, and the heads of both humans and ghosts buzzed.
But under the succession of soldiers, it was not the short Ashina Genichiro who was hit by the big flaw, but the oni part who sat on the horse.
"This ......"
Immortal Chuan felt that he was really eye-opening, he didn't see at all how Genichiro managed to fight back with this nirvana.
The oni-kata failed to make a move, so he slashed through the air twice in a row, and was bounced off by Ichiro in the same way.
Then, just like in the game, after the three strikes of the Onigata Division, he immediately began to run in circles around the field, as if thinking about his next move.
But Koshiichiro is not as easy as it seems.
After the third successful rebound, his wrist joints were already out of place, and if it weren't for the pill still working, he wouldn't even be able to pick up the knife at the moment.
If the teacher had chosen to continue the onslaught at close range just now, he would have died from the gun by now.
What now?
[If the phantom is eliminated, the horror bar will grow, and the pain in the heart will go further, and it will not be ...... if there is no essence in waiting for death]
[But if you don't destroy the teacher's phantom, you will be beaten in vain, I can't last so long! ] Waiting until the pill fails, it's still a dead end. 】
At this moment, he really hated the disgusting part of Drowning Hime's blood ghost technique.
Then, Genichiro noticed that the oni-shaped part that had been running for a distance suddenly stopped, and his heart suddenly sank.
He remembered that the gun of the teacher's ghost shape department was equipped with a machine barrel!
"Immortal River! Get down! ”
"What?"
Immortal Chuan, who had once again destroyed his mother's phantom, quickly turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that the general on horseback actually used a rope to pick up the big gun in his hand like a meteor hammer!
That's a lot of strength!
And seeing that whirring gun, it was about to hit him in the head!
At the last moment, Genichiro immediately knocked him down, which avoided the tragic scene of Immortal River being cut off his head.
"Thank you......"
Immortal Chuan was shocked, and after getting up, he looked at Genichiro with a complicated face, and today he didn't know how many times he was rescued by this child.
Rao still said words of thanks with his awkward character.
"You feel it, Immortal River!"
Ichiro Tsuchiro Immortal River stood side by side.
"The abnormality in the heart after killing the phantom."
While he waited for Immortal Chuan's answer, he also saw that when the big gun spun and grazed the drowning hime, it actually passed directly through like a phantom, obviously unable to cause damage to her own ghost.
That is, only the recipient and the surrounding environment can be destroyed by the phantom.
"Do you have that too?"
Immortal Chuan asked with a solemn expression, the heart-piercing pain was too obvious for him to mobilize his breathing method with all his might.
Moreover, he did not associate the slashing phantom with the pain in his heart.
"Hmm." "If I'm right, if I keep killing Phantoms, we'll probably die with a burst heart." So, I'm afraid it's just the difference between being killed and dying of illness now. ”
"......" Immortal Chuan was stunned, and then pulled out a mocking smile and looked at Drowning Ji, "If you die under this kind of blood ghost technique, it's really disgusting." ”
After saying that, he asked tentatively, "Have you come up with any solution?" ”
"There's one." While taking a deep breath, Genichiro dodged a stab from the Oni-shaped Department again, "These phantoms don't know how to defend, they only attack wildly, and they can be destroyed by just splitting them." ”
"But didn't you just say you couldn't destroy them anymore?"
"I'm saying that you can't destroy the illusions you have created."
Ichiro paused, "So, we can exchange, I'll kill the phantom you spawned, and you go kill mine." ”
Glancing at the Oni-shaped Department who was still rampage in the field, Immortal Chuan felt that his throat was a little thirsty, "You're telling me to die." “
After speaking, the madness in his eyes flashed: "However, this is also the only way out!" Lao Tzu did it! ”
The words fell, and the two consciously exchanged positions.
In particular, the phantom that appeared in the Immortal River this time was just a few ordinary ghost killers, and Ichiro escaped their attacks, and they were all solved with one person and one sword.
He looked at the condition of the Immortal River with his peripheral vision, and after these few phantoms were shattered, the Immortal River did not have any abnormalities!
"Immortal River! How do you feel? Out of insurance, Genichiro still asked.
Immortal Chuan hurriedly dodged a smash from the Ghost Punishment Department, and came directly to the body of Ghost Deer Mao, and cut off the horse's leg with a heavy blow, "There is no pain this time!" You guessed it! ”
"Four-Shape: Rise to the Dust!"
As Ichiro said, the Phantom didn't try to defend at all, because Drowning Hime's goal was to get the Phantom to be killed by the recipients so that they would have a heart attack and feel a great deal of guilt.
Therefore, from the bottom up, the Immortal River set off a wind blade like a sandstorm, tearing the unbalanced Ghost Punishment Department into thousands of splashes in an instant.
"Whew!"
Recalling the slash he had just faced like Mount Tai's top, Immortal Chuan felt that his back was covered in cold sweat.
I don't know how this guy surnamed Reed took an attack like that.
However, now that all the phantoms on the field were emptied, the two looked at each other, and then turned to Drowning Ji in the center of the lake at the same time.
"Your blood ghost spell has been cracked, disgusting worm."
Immortal Chuan shook off the water droplets on the blade, "Have you figured out how to die?" ”
Ichiro didn't say a word, because he looked at the face of the drowning hime and found that the other party didn't seem to be flustered at all.
Drowning Ji didn't seem to take Immortal Chuan's words to heart, "To be honest, I never thought that this blood ghost technique would have such a flaw. Because, I've never dealt with two people at once. ”
It sounded like she was conceding defeat, but her tone wasn't.
"However, as the only lower string ghost who hasn't been killed by a pillar in a hundred years, do you think that's all I have to do?"
"For example, if this time it is the two of you who feel guilty at the same time, how are you going to solve it?"
As her voice fell.
A full ten figures in Ghost Slayer uniforms, with almost charred bodies, rose from the water.
Ichiro and Immortal Kawa fell silent at the same time.
It's a person, and they recognize it at a glance.
It was the ghost slayer who had been used as a "bridge" to cross the lava road.
"Remember what I said? You're a delicacy I've chosen. Drowning Ji looked at the immortal Minoru Chuan, "In order to make your guilt full enough, that's why I let you live alone!" ”
"You don't think that you can find that cool cave because you are luckier than others!"
Immortal Minoru Chuan's face suddenly changed drastically.
……
There is also a chapter that ends the event.
This ghost design is a bit strong, and I almost don't know how to get the protagonist to solve her.
Within two chapters, the protagonist breaks his hand, and then takes off to Wuhu.
