Nine Eyes and Six Paths:

The first way, the way of hell.

Drags opponents into hellish nightmares, dealing the same amount of real damage when illusions are too real.

I have to say that this is the first time since Higashinohara opened the [Hell Path] that he has really made every effort to urge this ability, which is somewhat similar to the spirit system.

And the reason why he chose to open the [Hell Road] today to deal with the deputy commander of the Dawn Revolutionary Western Army in front of him.

On the one hand, it is because Kairutu, the president of the Mithril Society, who has just mastered the flame-based speed-type ability [Cangyan], has proven it.

- No matter how fast it is, it seems that there is no way to avoid the erosion of this strange spiritual ability 100%.

On the other hand, although Higashinohara's true identity is not that he can't be exposed in Shangjing, it is obviously not at this time.

For now, he still didn't want anyone to associate his identity with Wano Country's dark golden dragonfly masked man.

A clown is a clown.

Dragonflies are dragonflies.

It has to be said that due to the relatively low two attributes of [Perception] and [Will] among the five attributes, Higashinohara rarely spent temporary attribute points on these two attributes in the past.

But today, when he invested all 80 free attribute points into [Will], he increased the [Will] attribute all the way to 110 points in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Higashinohara only felt that the world that could be seen by his right eye, which was coated with a layer of radiant color, had changed drastically.

The figures, the light, the walls, and all the lines that can be seen by the naked eye in the warehouse are completely contrary to common sense and physical rules, and the natural abilities of this world seem to have lost any effect, and everything seems to be a black hole that has fallen into a static drift.

The more you want to find the truth, the easier it is to fall into falsehood, and the more you want to find memories, the easier it is to fall into confusion, and in the end you can only completely lose yourself.

The master of the Hell Dao dominates all the five senses of his enemies, and can distort the shape, posture, quality, and even touch and taste of a thing...

The desert turns into the deep sea, and purgatory becomes a paradise.

The real picture he saw with his left eye were two completely different worlds.

It turns out that this is...

Is it the real Hell Path?

Higashinohara's heart also swelled with a sudden surge.

Prior to this, he had not urged the [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] of the "Hell Dao" in battle.

However, most of the time, he passively counterattacks when the enemy attacks him on a mental level.

For example, last year's passive trigger when he was attacked by a doctor during the fierce battle with Kusao Masaten at the villa's underground auction, there was not much unusual feeling at all.

But the purple epic-level ability [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] in the top 20 of the talent sequence, even if it is only the most basic expansion, how can it be as simple as he imagined?

Today

For the first time, Higashinohara took the initiative to open the [Hell Road].

Of course, the main reason for this difference is probably ...

At that time, Higashinohara's [will] attribute was only a dozen points, but today it is equivalent to a tenfold increase in all of a sudden!

This is also why he was able to quietly unfold the [rules. Simon of Narakumi no Abyss. The reason why Baldi swallowed his [Hell Path] at once.

No anti-theft

Stronger than the eighth-order ability of the spiritual system in front of him, Simon. Bardi didn't notice it at first, and only realized that something was wrong when the representative of Dimi stabbed the blade in his hand into the neck of the revolutionary army soldier under him.

......

That's impossible!

At this moment, Simon. This thought first crossed Bardy's mind.

The number of spiritual abilities in this world is extremely small, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate and improve.

Even in the upper Kyoto City circle, where the strong are like forests, counting the old monsters of the Nine Heavenly and Human Families who have not been born for decades, there are only a handful of people who can let him penetrate into the illusion without him noticing.

However, those old monsters all spare their lives, and they are all living in the hotbed of the family!

No matter how you look at it, it can't be that the voice in front of you sounds obviously a little too young in the masked man.

Wait a minute...!

Clown masks?!

Deputy Commander Simon, who recovered from the shock just now. Bardi's mind suddenly remembered the secret story of the meeting in Meji Province, the capital of Tagos!

The commander of the Southern Army of the Dawn Revolutionary Army, "Fog Ghost" Charles, died at the hands of a man wearing a miserable white and weird clown mask, and there are even internal rumors that the "Joker" is suspected to be the third ruling envoy of the Ruling Division.

——The other party took the opportunity to sneak attack when the fog ghost Charles and the third ruling made the empress stalemate, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Simon. Although Bardy didn't look down on Charles, the commander of the Southern Army who bargained with his brother every year, he was a member of the Dawn Revolutionary Army after all, and he didn't deserve to die at the hands of the other party no matter what.

"Is that you... To put it this way... You also killed Charles of the Southern Army? ”

Hearing the other party's unkind words, Higashinohara nodded, and said calmly:

"That's right, it's me."

In his heart, he silently added again, the two commanders of your Western Army and the Central Army were also killed by me.

Seeing the masked Higashinohara look so sudden, Simon. Bardy's face also instantly became gloomy.

As a psychic, he should control the pace of every battle, and his opponents can only feel the oppression and fear that comes with facing him.

But now it seems to be reversed.

"Honestly...

I don't like your tone very much. ”

Deputy Commander Simon. Bardi stared at Higashinohara with an unkind face, his gaze swept over the wanton changing lines around him, and he lowered his gaze slightly and said,

"Should you?

Think you're sure you're going to win, right? ”

The moment the words fell, a thunderous explosion resounded in the warehouse building, and a crack seemed to crack on the top of the factory overhead.

One by one, monsters that seemed to come from the Naraku Abyss, with huge blood-red eyes on their foreheads, opened the cracks and surged wildly over the Higashino Plain like a raging tide.

This is the real fangs of the eighth-order demigod-level powerhouse rule [Narakumi no Abyss] when attacking.

What he had just launched against the Mithril Guild President Kairutu and the others was nothing more than defense.

In an instant, the distorted lines constructed by the Hell Dao of the Eastern Wild Plains in the horizon suddenly swayed and shook like a candle in the wind, and then completely severed in an instant.

The world was back to normal for a moment.

But it's not entirely normal.

"Welcome to... The real Narakumi Abyss. "Deputy Commander Simon. A gentle smile appeared on Baldy's face, and he said as he gazed softly at Higashinohara.

Horse-headed ghosts, resentful ghosts, one-eyed ghosts, and Inmora ghosts..... Countless hideous and terrifying faces rushed around Higashinohara's body, making a scalp-tingling hissing sound.

Narakumi no Abyss. Hyakki Night Walk!

......

At this moment, even if Higashinohara clearly knows, it is impossible for these to exist in reality.

- These are just hallucinations that I see after falling into the other party's [Narakumi no Abyss].

But he knows it just as well.

In the face of these illusions that do not exist in reality, if you really sit back and wait to be swallowed up by them!

Then in reality, your spirit will really be devoured, and you will become a walking corpse-like shell and die of dehydration.

However, [Hell Dao], as a purple epic ability, should not be so easy to be broken by the opponent under the urging of his own [will] of up to 110 points.

Is it because you think too simply?

Higashinohara lowered his gaze, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was lost in thought.

However, this scene fell in the eyes of the other party, and Deputy Commander Simon. Baldi looked at the helpless Higashinohara, and was very satisfied with the deterrent effect brought by his [Hundred Ghost Night Walk].

In fact

As a rare and strange spiritual ability, he is the second leader of the Western Army of the Dawn Revolutionary Army.

Simon who has been dormant in the city of Upper Kyoto for many years. Bardi's daily routine consisted of gentle spiritual enlightenment to new members of the Dawn Revolutionary Army or fighters who had suffered post-war trauma.

He was even praised as the "Mentor of Dawn".

The ghost wants to be a "dawn mentor".

In the entire Dawn Revolutionary Army, there may only be his brother Okumura, the commander of the Western Army, who grew up with him. Bardy only then did it become clear.

For a long time, in order to cultivate and improve the level of spiritual ability, the younger brother Simon who "lives in hell". Baldi, what the heart really desires.

What he wants to bring to others is not warmth.

It's the soul trembling of a hundred ghosts walking at night!

It's like this now.

It was only for the sake of his brother and the cause of the Dawn Revolutionary Army that he had to put on a gentle and harmless mask and hide the demonic side from the Naraku Abyss.

"The clown of the Adjurtion,

You deserve to enjoy this rare indulgence of mine. ”

Simon. Bardy raised his hand to cover his face, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and muttered softly:

"Speaking of which, since those years of turning those 'wildling' villages in the North into snow sculptures in a blizzard, I've been... It's been a long time since I've had the opportunity to indulge myself so much. ”

The moment the words fell, those hundred ghosts had already launched an offensive against Higashinohara.

A dog with a hara-dripping head bit Higashinohara's calf, and the incomparably sharp canine teeth tore up hard, and the real and incomparable pain hit the brain like a tide.

Higashinohara, who was standing in place, frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at the dog ghost who was biting his calf.

Jean Simon. Somewhat unexpectedly, Higashinohara didn't fall into his [Narakumi Abyss. The enemies in the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts,

When you feel pain when you are attacked and bitten by these ghosts, you immediately fight back frantically.

At this moment, I saw Higashinohara, who was wearing a clown mask, still standing in place, his eyes lowered.

He let the dog bite at his calf, oblivious to other approaching dangers around him, as if caught in some sort of critical moment of thought.

At some point in the next moment,

Just as a drunkard with a large mouth open, a scarlet tongue twisted like a snake and drooling from the corners of his mouth appeared above Higashinohara's head, and he was about to swallow Higashinohara's head whole......

Higashinohara suddenly raised his head.

It was at this moment that

The whole picture seems to stand still.

......

"One thing I have to correct, I'm not from the Adjudication Division." Higashinohara Road.

Simon. Seeing this, Bardy also frowned slightly, and when he sensed that something was wrong, he said quietly, "Then why did you kill Charles, the commander of the Southern Army." ”

"I will kill him,

Just because he deserves to die. ”

Higashinohara said softly.

After a pause,

And one more sentence added.

"Just as I killed you."

The moment the words fell,

A dark red, ink-stained smudge suddenly spread out around Higashinohara, floating on the surface of the body like a blood vessel bubbling with blood.

In the blink of an eye,

The dark red color condensed into substance behind him, turning into a huge Asura Phantom that was four or five stories high.

As if stepping on the sea, the body is higher than the mountain,

His face was angry, and his mouth was on fire, as if he had nine heads and eight legs, and nine hundred and ninety hands.

At this moment, the Asura from hell exuded an incomparably violent and terrifying aura like an angry Vajra subduing demons.

Hell Road X Shura Road!

Will!

Unlimited fields. Demon Shrine!

In the next moment, I saw Higashinohara raise his eyes, his right eye was coated with a layer of heavenly radiance, and his palm turned into a knife and swept it lightly surrounded by dark red Shura evil qi around him.

All of a sudden, Simon. The rules that Baldi unfolded [Narakumi no Abyss. All the eerie ghosts in Hyakki Night Walking, including the drunken devourer behind him, who opened his bloody mouth and almost covered most of his head.

Under this sword...

All in ruins!

Deputy Commander Simon. Baldi couldn't help but shrink his eyes, his face became a little gloomy, and he squinted his eyes and looked up and down at the clown-masked man in front of him.

It's like seeing it for the first time.

Under the mask, Higashinohara's face suddenly showed a surging smile.

For a long time, because [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] belongs to the top 20 purple epic abilities in the talent sequence, the opening has been "one at a time" step by step.

So much so that he fell into the stereotyped thinking that this is a "different ability".

But today, when Higashinohara's [will] broke through 110 points under the bonus of the temporary freedom attribute, just at that moment, he suddenly understood a fact.

Nine eyes and six paths from beginning to end,

It's just "one" ability.

You must know that Higashinohara is able to find the fleeting silk thread between two different abilities under abnormal conditions, and compound it into his own unlimited domain.

Then it stands to reason that the ability of [Hell Dao] and [Shura Dao], which are originally one with the same source, should be easier to reunite.

After realizing this.

With previous experience.

It all fell into place.....

.....

At this time, Simon. Bardi's face was very ugly.

He didn't believe it.

I don't believe the clown masked man in front of me, who sounds too young even if his voice is deliberately concealed.

He is still better than himself in the world's weirdest spiritual ability, and he has lived in hell for decades...

Isn't it just a joke?

"It can't be."

Simon with a gloomy complexion. Baldi repeated the sentence abruptly.

His hands were sealed in front of him, as if he was going to have a good fight with Higashinohara.

After all, the game of spiritual abilities is different from other abilities, and it is based on the collision of worlds built by each other's spirits, and the fight is even more treacherous!

It is also often more difficult to distinguish the winner in a shorter period of time.

However, hearing the other party's words, Higashinohara was silent for two seconds, then raised his head and looked at the other party seriously through the clown mask, shook his head and said:

"I'm in a hurry."

When the words fell, Higashinohara's body bowed slightly, and his right hand made a gesture of drawing a knife out of thin air at his waist.

Almost at the same time,

I saw the huge Asura Phantom behind him, and all the nine hundred and ninety hands were pressed on his waist, making the same posture as him.

This is...

Simon, who has been immersed in mental power for many years. Bardi suddenly seemed to be locked by an invisible murderous aura, the child hole in the depths of his eyes trembled suddenly, and he unexpectedly felt a trace of fear in the depths of his soul.

Wrong!

I shouldn't be afraid!

No one knows this better than I do.

It's an illusion!

Fake!

It's all fake!

......

Next Moment!

Higashinohara suddenly stepped down!

Pull out the "knife" out of thin air!

Chop!

！

The same goes for the Asura Phantom....

Crazy to convince himself that it is an illusion that Simon can not fall into fear. Baldi's eyes widened suddenly, and his soul spirit body seemed to be in boundless pain from being frantically slashed by nine hundred and ninety knives!

Just like the "Ling Chi" torture he had intended to inflict on that celestial pregnant woman.

No way!

It's all fake!

Pain... It hurts!

Damn it! Why does it hurt so much!

No! No!

......

It feels like a long time has passed.

But it seems to be a moment.

The dark borders of hell faded like a tide, and the mottled and pale world seemed to be recolored and restored to its original vivid appearance.

Around those who just fell into Simon. The Mithril Society execution team of Bardy's [Narakumi no Abyss], as well as the representatives of various countries trapped in Higashinohara's [Hell Road] and the Dawn Revolutionary Army, all returned to reality in a daze.

It's like a dream.

After waking up, I was inexplicably a little sentimental.

You know,

Regardless of one's will, there will be a fear and unwanted situation in everyone's heart.

And whether it's Higashinohara's [Hell Road] or Simon. Bardi's [Narakumi no Abyss],

Their principle of "group attack" is to release mental power to interfere with awakening everyone's fears to make them manifest and make people feel that they are "real".

The greater the fear in the target's mind,

The more impactful the "real" you see.

But when you come to your senses,

Whether it was Kairutu and the others of the Mithril Society, or the Dawn Revolutionary Army at the scene, and the representatives of the surrounding countries, they all looked at this scene in front of them in great amazement.

The pregnant woman who was stabbed is still alive, no, not even unharmed.

And the revolutionary soldier who had just distributed the blade fell to the ground in a pool of blood, with a bloody blade stuck in his neck.

I don't know when there was a clown masked man in the field, and Simon, the deputy commander of the Western Army, who was in control of the field today. Bardi faced the chaos.

At this time, he stood motionless, his eyes staring directly at the direction of the void in front of him, his eyes full of endless fear and pain.

This is... What happened?

didn't wait for everyone to figure it out,

Deputy Commander Simon. There was a sudden "rumbling" of blood rushing through Baldy's body, and the blood vessels on the surface of his exposed body burst out, and the blood vessels were filled with raging blood like clenched water pipes.

Gradually,

The sound is getting louder.

The water pipes are getting more and more inflated!

Immediately!

Bang bang!

In a series of explosions!

Without warning,

I saw Simon standing still. Countless scarlet blood mist erupted from the surface of Bardy's body.

The head is very strangely like someone has cut it from the neck, and the stubble on the cut surface flies up evenly, and the blood from the broken neck is surging wildly.

Higashinohara wasn't too surprised to see this.

Hell Road is, of course, an illusion.

But from the first day he acquired this ability, he remembered the instructions of the Hell Dao.

- When the hallucinations are real enough, they deal the same amount of real damage.

Obviously, Simon. Baldy's spiritual will, after the boundless pain of the nine hundred and ninety slashes was gone, finally chose to believe that it was true.

So, at the moment when he was "cut off" his head by the last knife of the Asura Phantom.

The blood flowing in his body used the impact of blood pressure to "simulate" the scene of being beheaded in reality very realistically.

This is...【Demon Shrine】.

.....。
