Chapter 218: Hope?
"Mr. Yahara, that guy's swordsmanship is very strong, pay attention to his breath." The white elder was glowing with the effect of the potion activation, reminding Yahara of the fighting methods he had once taught him.
"Rest assured, I'll be careful." Yahara suppressed the shock in his heart and walked slowly forward.
On the day of the siege of the Tempest Vortex, he saw with his own eyes how the heroic king Gazar Devagang was poisoned and how he was severely wounded.
[Wraith] is not considered a poison in a sense, its original effect was to corrupt Caterina's magical barrier, and gradually invade the flesh, disguised as the result of her injuries and death.
After the transformation of [Apothecary's Curling Gu], the corrosive effect of [Demon Spirit] has become more domineering, and it can continue to weaken the vitality of human flesh and blood until death.
Even if the Voice of the World exists, it is impossible to gain poison resistance by resisting its effects.
As he was thinking about Géza Devagan, a gray figure was rapidly enlarged in his eyes.
"Bell!"
The sword clash made a crisp sound, and the powerful force shook the blade buzzing, and Yahara's body almost flew out, and the soles of his feet cut two deep dirt marks on the ground.
"How did this guy change his fight?" Red Pill looked at the mysterious man covered in armor, and some doubts welled up in his heart.
"So what? This is the battlefield, and Mr. Yahara won't be stupid enough to compete with him. Ziyuan carried the big knife and said very disdainfully, as if he knew a lot about Yehara.
Shaking his arm, Yahara asked tentatively in a deep voice, "Who are you?" The kingdom of Falmus doesn't deserve a character like you. ”
What awaited him was a dangerous sword strike.
The armored man clenched the long sword in his hand with both hands, and used his sword skills like crazy, one move and one style but the connection was smooth, and the momentum was extremely fierce.
Wandering over the edge of the blade swing, Yahara unfolded the logic of his technique, dismantling his sword skills while observing the army from afar.
Except for the analysis of the armor material, there are no representative signs, as if it is an army falling from the sky.
The sword qi swept overwhelmingly, and suddenly, a surging mist emerged, and in an instant, Yahara's body trembled slightly when he was dodging, and his entire body became a little illusory at this moment.
"Boom!"
The blade surged down, slashing firmly at Yahara's body, the breeze blew, and there was no expected serious injury to vomit blood, and the narrow and cold blade penetrated Yahara's body without hindrance.
Immediately...... Slowly disappear.
"Mr. Yahara looks lazy every day, but I didn't expect to even learn this trick." Bai Lao's spirit was almost recovered, and he touched his beard and said with a smile.
"Bai Lao, this can't be that trick [Hazy], right?" Red Pill reorganized the team's combination, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Yahara's movements.
"That's right, one of the mysteries of swordsmanship, [Hazy], a swordsmanship that focuses on confusing and hiding one's own aura." There was a hint of coldness in Bai Lao's eyes, and he was eager to see how the armored man coped.
Seeing that his sword missed, the armored man finally said the first sentence of his own attack: "Where did you learn this guy?" This swordsmanship?! ”
The sound of the urn is loud, and the wavelength is uncertain, making it difficult to identify specific people.
"What's the matter with you?" As he spoke, Yahara had a plan, and with a wave of his palm, a humming sound sounded, and a looming high-speed wind blade appeared in the sky, roaring towards the woods behind the armored man.
"Bold!" The man in armor shouted angrily, pointing his sword in his right hand to the sky, giving orders to another man in the group with a spear.
The overwhelming wind blade appeared in the middle of this group of people in the blink of an eye, and without the slightest panic, all the soldiers raised their shields in their hands, back to back, shoulder to shoulder, and in a short period of time, a defensive array was formed!
Although the hardness of the magic steel is beyond the imagination of the night plain, the wind blades from nature are endless, on the contrary, the physical strength of the soldiers is seriously consumed, and the arms holding the shields have also begun to shake, and a few have even been swept into the air.
Sneering at the armored man, he turned back left and right, wanting to go back to rescue the group of soldiers, Yahara swiped the blade, and the telekinesis of the immeasurable operation immediately became entangled with each other, and finally wrapped into an interception net with each other.
"You'd better not try to keep provoking me, or I wouldn't mind killing you outright!" The armored man's voice increased several times, his sturdy body squeaked a few times, and his arm shook violently, shaking away all restraints.
In the next second, a muffled sonic boom took shape, and the man in armor rushed back to the territory impatiently, stirring the wind with his own speed, which barely stopped the hurricane.
Seeing this, Yahara also put away the [Thinking Acceleration] and [Loss Operation], and turned around and walked towards the Red Pill and them.
Although there was no encounter with the troops of the Kingdom of Falmus, it was clear that the first day of the war was over.
After that, it is necessary to completely overturn the original information and re-plan the next operational layout.
His face was slowly gloomy, and then he wiped his face and smiled. Now is the critical juncture of the war, and we can't make such a gesture at will, which will affect the morale of everyone.
Yahara lowered his head and walked towards the army of monsters with weapons in his hands, and the leaders of Red Pill, Bai Lao, and Shion stood in a row to greet him.
"Congratulations to Mr. Yahara, you managed to repel that guy!" Red Pill was the first to come up and express his gratitude to Yahara.
Although there is an element of acting, if Yahara hadn't arrived in time to deliver the potion and stepped forward to contain the armored man, they would probably have died here.
"That's right, that's right, let humans know that we're not easy to bully!" Ignoring the damage to her clothes, Shion clenched her fist and swung it forward, causing a large area of snow white to continue to beat.
The atmosphere of the surrounding monsters is also much soothing, some are discussing the battle of Yahara Tsugaku, some are worried about the situation in the town, and some are imagining the scene of tomorrow, and everyone is immersed in their own world.
Watchtowers, anti-stake stakes, and wartime tents were packed.
"Where's Klut?" After looking around, Yehara remembered that this was strictly the third-generation Pig-headed Emperor. With the addition of the racial talent and the name of Rimurumo, the potential is limitless.
"General Krut is on the other side to warn the kingdom of Falmus, and we were guarding it before." Bai Lao quietly led Yehara to the outside of the tent, which was relatively quiet and suitable for conversation.
"Mr. Yahara, can you tell us about the situation in the town? Is Rimuru-sama okay? ”
Yavin
As soon as these words came out, Shion and Red Pill immediately reined in, and they all gathered around Yehara, staring at him with serious eyes full of anticipation, as if they wanted to penetrate the bottom of their hearts.
"Is Zhu Cai okay? Her skills are too limited under this enchantment, and she has almost no power to protect herself, so she hasn't been invaded inside, right?! ”
"That's it, how is Rimuru-sama? Why didn't it come out with you? ”
Far above the sky, beyond the chaotic battlefield, a purple-gray hazy enchantment still surrounds the Great Forest of Jura, and it seems that it will never stop.
After sorting out his thoughts a little, Yahara quietly used the airflow to create a rudimentary version of the soundproof cover, and then told the situation inside little by little.
From the initial discovery of the Holy Purification Enchantment to the appearance of three people from another world, to the encounter with the shadow in the cave after the agreement with Rimuru, and finally to the Red Pill and his party who are in a stalemate with the armored man.
"Is the enchantment effect in it actually more powerful? This is in trouble! Hongmaru's eyes were full of anxiety, and his fingers kept tapping on his arm.
Ziyuan and Bai Lao were silent, and their hearts kept churning.
Despite the barrier, Yahara still saw the twilight getting thicker and thicker, and it was getting dark.
"It's going to get dark soon, and the other side has a partial advantage because of the enchantment, and now is the time to be proud, so I don't think about sneaking up at night."
Yahara took a light breath, looked at the red pill with a gloomy face, and said, "Take this opportunity, let's go into the town to find Rimuru and discuss how to conduct tomorrow's battle. ”
"Okay."
......
The shadows of the trees swayed, the evening breeze carried a cold breath, and the sky was overcast by the enchantment, and there was not a trace of the moon to be seen.
Standing in the middle of the central grand square, Rimuru was surrounded by a shocking number of hundreds of monster corpses, arranged in a cold and cruel order, showing the other side of the world.
Fierce regret and irrepressible anger seemed to be pouring out in the depths of my heart.
You can't even think about it.
It was obviously unnecessary, but I felt that I was breathing heavily, and my heart that didn't exist was beating violently, and I had such an illusion.
Unconsciously, Rimuru puts on the mask that had previously copied Shizue Izawa, as if this was the only way to bring some comfort to its heart.
Yahara and Red Pill had already arrived near the central square, and they didn't choose to approach when they saw the terrible state of the ground from afar, but stood aside and waited silently for Rimuru.
After a long time, Rimuru looked at Yahara in an almost hoarse voice, without hysterical madness: "Mr. Yahara, how is the situation outside?" ”
In its almost pleading gaze, Red Pill slowly spoke of the casualties of the defensive line outside the cavern.
That's almost twice as much as in town.
"Mr. Yahara, why is this happening? We clearly did not provoke any country! ”
After saying this, Rimuru himself felt extremely ridiculous, as the leader of the Jura Great Forest Alliance, it was like a clown who had endured violence and then lay on the cold and wet streets, going crazy and splashing.
"The world is so cruel, such as Kuloai, if the royal family didn't want to ask for the power of the brave, they wouldn't have suffered the pain of excess magic at such a young age.
It's inconclusive, and for a problem like that, we have to solve it with another problem, not an answer, get it? ”
Yahara walked around the monster's corpse and slowly approached Rimuru, placing his palm on its weak shoulder, letting it feel the pressure from the outside world.
"Do you want to be a demon king?"
Like a demon's whisper, Yahara leaned into Rimuru's small ear without the slightest emotion: "If you become a demon king, everyone will have a chance to be resurrected." ”
Ignoring Rimuru and Red Pill's reactions, he told the story conveyed by Ai-lian in the original book little by little:
The story of the maiden and the dragon.
Beginning with an incident, the girl who saw the dragon killed, lamented the death of her only friend and pet, and in anger, wiped out the country that had taken her hands.
Together with hundreds of thousands of nationals living in the country.
Then, the girl evolved into a demon king. That's when a miracle happened.
The dragon that has a connection with the girl, along with the evolution of the girl, although it is dead, but it still evolves.
Cutting out the fragment where the dragon is resurrected as an unconscious, evil Chaos Dragon, Yahara cleverly turns the ending into a happy reunion.
"In other words, as long as I can become a demon king, goblins, pig-headed people, and everyone I named will be able to evolve and come back from the dead?"
Rimuru repeated Yahara's words blankly, his mind drifting on the right track.
"But that sounds more like a fairy tale, right? The specific path to becoming a demon king is also not explained. Red Pill clasped his hands to his chest and coldly pointed out the loopholes in the story of Yahara.
The loss of a companion is heart-wrenching, but if you act irrationally because of it, it will be more than worth the loss.
For the first time, he didn't understand what Yahara was doing.
"Informed, analyzing the information, it was learned that the necessary conditions for meeting the evolutionary conditions of the "Demon King Species" to make the seeds germinate and obtain nutrients to evolve into the "True Demon King" are more than 10,000 human sacrifices! ”
"Inform me that because of the existence of the Holy Purification Enchantment, the probability of the existence of other monster souls is 12.34%."
Rimuru waved her hand at Red Pill and reached out to take off her mask: "At this stage, if we can save all this, we can only desperately find another way, even if it is to become a demon king!" ”
"Right? Mr. Yahara. ”
Looking at Rimuru, who had regained her unbelievable state, Yahara nodded and smiled, "That's right. ”
The first thing to do was to re-strengthen the previously weakened Holy Purification Enchantment, and with Rimuru's unremitting research, it successfully achieved the effect of canceling out fifty percent, and bought a lot of time for Ligrud to arrange refuge.
Because of the particularity of the Zero Yuzi, Izawa Shizue always hid in the house and persisted until Cangying came to distribute the potions to her, so that she could survive in the subsequent weakened enchantment.
The next question, according to the information from the front line, the Falmus Kingdom currently only has 6,000 soldiers, and there are still about 10,000 soldiers on the march, but the number of another wave of mysterious troops has reached more than 8,000 people.
Overall, it's almost close to 30,000.
As a sacrifice to the Demon King, it's enough.
The small glow reflected by the moonlight illuminated the bloody Rimulu, as if to hint at the arrival of some kind of metamorphosis.
"Rimuru, I want to trouble you with something."
"It's all this time, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Of the nearly 30,000 souls, I want to occupy 10,000, and I also want to become a demon king."
Yahara's calm tone seemed to tell Rimuru to give him a piece of bread.
The evening breeze became even colder, and Limu revealed the memories of human beings in his previous life, and subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly, and the pure golden child's hole reflected the appearance of half shadow and half moonlight on the night plain.
"Mr. Yahara, you... What were you talking about? ”
