Chapter 16: Two against one
Reimu felt it when she took the opponent's sword for the first time, if you talk about the basic strength alone, in Gensokyo, ten Huiyin tied together is not enough for her to fight for half a minute, but what about people playing equipment flow!
Reimu, who had once again fallen behind because of the opponent's attack, couldn't help but snort.
Mean natives.
"Will Reimu be able to win it if this continues?"
Although his biggest role is to shout 666 here, Takeya still fulfilled his duty as a teammate well - paying attention to the situation below from the sidelines.
"I'm not sure, but I think we can win it, right?"
"What should ......?"
Wu Ye looked at Zi with black lines on his head and said irresponsible words, aren't you a teammate? Go up and help, don't hide like a salted fish!
emmmm...... Why does that seem wrong?
"Don't worry, Wu Ye, in fact, that Bai Ze is not as strong as you think."
"Really?"
Seeing that Huiyin below once again gave Lingmeng a big sword in his face, Wu Ye turned his head and asked seriously:
"Are you sure?"
"Ahaha......"
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Reimu falling to the bottom again, and Purple smiled awkwardly, and then said:
"Huiyin's ability is indeed very strong, but in fact, that ability is not as powerful as you think, not to mention the limited and time-consuming and labor-intensive ability of 'intercepting' history, let's just say that the conceptual weapons she embodied are just in vain."
"But, didn't you say that thing was half a real artifact?"
"That's what I said, then let me ask you, Wu Ye, do you know what the Tiancong Cloud Sword in history is for?"
"Uh, this ......"
If you think about it, he really doesn't know what that artifact is for, and who will remember what it does when it's a weapon like this that is much more symbolic than it actually is?
"Huh."
Zi bent the corners of his mouth, and did not say much about Wu Ye's embarrassment.
"The reason why it is said that it is vain, but because the 'history' embodied by Bai Ze has very harsh conditions, one of which is authenticity, if it is a false history, even Bai Ze is helpless against it."
"Eh, what does that mean?"
"Simple, isn't it? Since it is something that is 'intercepted' from real history, it means that this thing has really existed in history. ”
Zi glanced down at the gorgeously overturned weapon in Huiyin's hand and smiled:
"Since the 'real thing' still exists, no matter how real the 'fake' is, it will never reach such an astonishing level, I think that should be the limit."
"Limit?"
Wu also asked puzzledly:
"What's the limit?"
"Similar abilities, similar appearances, similar breaths, but no matter which point is one step away from the real artifact, and that step is the moat, the artifact and the non-artifact are fundamentally different."
"Is it a disparity in power?"
"That's not entirely true, the artifact is a 'miracle' based on mythology and history, and it is different from ordinary weapons in terms of level, it is a conceptual gap, if you want to compare, it is probably like the gap between a real sword and a wooden sword."
As she spoke, Zi gently swiped her fingers, only to see that behind Huiyin, a huge gap opened, and the crack that should have hidden many strange pupils was now filled with a dense barrage.
"If it's a real artifact, I'm afraid it's not a weapon of the same level that wants to cause damage to it, but if it's a 'fake', then don't worry, no matter how delicate the wooden sword is, the essence is still wood, this will not change."
After that, countless high-speed barrages shot out from the cracks in the gap, because the speed was so fast, it looked like chains, instantly enveloping Huiyin.
"What......!"
Obviously, Huiyin didn't expect Yakumo Zi to suddenly attack at this time, not only her, but even Reimu didn't expect it, but she was still very good at attacking Huiyin while coming back to her senses.
"Damn!"
Huiyin manipulated the Yachi Mirror, one of the three artifacts, and laid down circles of shields stacked by spells around her body, but under the impact of Yakumo Zi's endless high-speed barrage, cracks soon appeared.
"Oops...... bad!"
The pupils shrank, and Huiyin, who was attacked on both sides, knew that she had no way to continue to support, so she decisively gave up her defense and was ready to give it a go, only to see her withdraw and fly into the air, and the moment she left, the eight mirrors that supported the shield in place were smashed into pieces by the barrage.
"Really?"
Looking at the Eight Mirrors that were blown into slag by the barrage in surprise, Wu Ye couldn't imagine that the legendary artifact had been destroyed like this? Sure enough, as Yakumo Zi said, there is a limit to "fakes"?
"Looks right."
Closing the crack that had just opened, Purple sent a knowing smile towards Reimu.
"Once those embodied 'artifacts' lose the support of Bai Ze's own demonic power, they will immediately lose their effectiveness."
"But in that case, why couldn't Reimu beat Teacher Huiyin just now?"
"Because I was deceived."
With his eyes narrowed slightly, the youkai sage, who writes legends with wisdom, effortlessly debunks the mysteries.
"Actually, the sword itself is not that big, nor is it gorgeous, it was deliberately shown by Bai Ze, in order to make Reimu mistakenly think that it is an artifact, thus giving the illusion of 'unmatched'."
Looking at Reimu who once again lifted his whole body's spiritual power and rushed forward, Purple smiled with satisfaction.
"No matter how similar the appearance is, as long as you carefully check it, the weakness is still easy to find, the wood is still wood, if the strength is strong enough, the strongest wood can be cut off."
Zi's voice fell, and Reimu had already slammed into Huiyin's sword with incomparably amazing spiritual power, and at first the two were evenly matched, and even Huiyin had a slight upper hand, but soon the battle situation changed.
Click!
"Uh-huh......!"
Hui Yin's expression revealed a little reluctance, and she saw that the imposing artifact Tiancong Cloud Sword suddenly created a crack in the part where it collided with the witch's imperial coin.
Soon, the crack began to slowly spread throughout the sword.
"Oh no, it's going to be the limit......!"
Not only the momentum, but even in the confrontation of spiritual power, Huiyin was slowly suppressed by Reimu, and the gorgeous and somewhat excessive divine sword was being pressed back by the other party little by little.
"Is it a last resort......
His eyes were slightly downcast, and almost in an instant, the thick and calm demonic power on Huiyin's body seemed to be suddenly reversed, and it was frantically transformed towards the violent side.
But at this moment—
"If you forget that we exist, it's going to be bothersome."
"What?!"
The changes in her body suddenly stagnated, and Huiyin suddenly looked back behind her.
It was a very unwise choice to turn back in the presence of enemies in front of her, but Huiyin did it anyway because she had a reason to do so.
Behind the originally empty body, the youkai sage Yakumo Purple stood there quietly, without any sense of abruptness, as if it had existed here in the first place.
"It's really a mistake to give up the eight-point mirror for defense, or do we want to remind you that this is two to one?"
Zi smiled and stepped back, and suddenly countless gaps blocked her figure, and suddenly Huiyin felt the strength in her hand loosen, and at the moment she turned around, even the Hakuri witch in front of her was nowhere to be found, replaced by endless gaps and cracks.
At this moment, Huiyin was horrified to find that there was a figure of a Boli witch in every crack-
"Spirit Rune Dream Seal!"
Huiyin, who could only rely on the Heavenly Cloud Sword to defend the front, was devoured by the seven-colored spiritual power light balls that attacked from all directions in the blink of an eye......
