Chapter Ninety-Six: Yao's Battle, Will O'wisp's Flames
As a problem child, it is clear that she is responding to the ridicule in her own unique way.
The corners of the Black Rabbit's mouth lifted slightly, and he stretched out his hand in the direction of the palace, "Then before the game starts, please ask Lord Hakuyasha, one of the organizers, to explain the game stage, please keep quiet."
At this moment, all the noise in the venue disappeared, and there was silence in order to listen to the speech of the organizer.
Hakuyasha, who came to the balcony, looked around with a smile on his face, "Well, thank you for your cooperation, after all, as you can see, my bar is like a child, and I'm not good at speaking loudly.
So about the rules for the start of the game, please look at your stomach invitation, is there a number written on it?"
The audience took out the invitation letter one after another, and those who didn't have it in their hands hurriedly rummaged through their luggage, and those who didn't bring it at all could only regret it.
White Yaksha looked at the crowd with joy and sorrow kindly, and continued to speak;
"So, everyone, please see if there is anyone with the same number on the invitation as the number 3345 of ThousandEyes, the outer gate where we are hosted?
If so, hold up your invitation and speak out loud in the name of the community."
There was a commotion in the audience.
As a result, in the auditorium directly in front of the balcony, a dryad boy held up the invitation.
"In ...... Over here! The Community [Underood] has an invitation letter from No. 3345!"
After the shy teenager shouted, enthusiastic cheers from the audience were heard.
With a smile on his face, Hakuyasha appeared in front of the young man.
"Hee-hee, congratulations to this dryad kid from Underood, someone will send you a souvenir later, so can you show me your banner now?"
The boy nodded vigorously, and without the slightest hesitation, handed out a wooden bracelet depicting a town surrounded by the roots of a huge tree, which was supposed to be a symbol of his community.
Hayasha observed the flag for a while before returning the bracelet to the boy with a smile, and the next moment he returned to the balcony.
"The final stage has just been decided, so I want to borrow your hands."
White Yaksha stretched her hands forward, and all the spectators imitated her in doing the same.
Syllable! The audience clapped their hands in unison.
Just this act is a way for the world to start changing.
Esther and the others sat on the balcony and watched the operation of the White Yaksha, a little curious and a little expectant.
When everyone clapped their hands, Esther's pupils shrank, unable to resist the birth of Deweili.
What followed was quite a drastic change.
The stage has changed dramatically.
Yao Kasugabe and her rival, Ai Natsu, are swallowed up by nothingness on the ground beneath their feet, and many streamlined worlds can be seen spinning on the other side of the darkness.
Among them is the existence of a world that they have experienced, Yao and a griffon have tried.
"This is the game board of the White Yaksha?" Esther frowned slightly.
Eventually, the black line dissipated, and the players on both sides fell into a world, which was a huge tree, or rather a world made entirely of large trees.
A large hollow surrounded by huge tree roots.
Yao and Aishajack are both in the middle of it.
After landing, Aisha still laughed in a sarcastic voice.
Yao didn't reply, but silently observed everything around him.
However, the two sides did not immediately fight.
Therefore, at this time the starting rules of the game and the winning conditions have not yet been announced.
It was the night that was torn apart, and the figure of the Black Rabbit appeared in the air, holding a parchment in her hand.
Black Rabbit held aloft the "contract document" made based on the authority of the organizer, and read the contents of the document flatly:
Bestow Game Name: Underood's Labyrinth
Victory conditions: 1. Contestants get out of the maze formed by the roots of big trees and go to the wild.
2. The contestant destroys the boon of the opponent.
3. When the opponent is unable to meet the conditions of victory (including surrender).
- Defeat conditions: 1. The opponent achieves one of the victory conditions.
2. When the Participant is unable to meet the above victory conditions.
"In the name of the jurisdiction to adjudicate, the oath under the banner is above the inviolable rule of both parties.
Please make sure that both sides have a glorious battle to boast about.
Then I will officially announce the game as the referee and host of this game, and the game has officially begun."
As the black rabbit's voice fell, the two of them instantly distanced themselves, and at the same time, they were also thinking about the conditions for winning.
After a brief gap, it was Aixia who took the lead in the bombardment.
"It's useless to stare at each other, so let me send you out directly! After all, you're just a mere name, and it's a great honor to be here in this venue, so be satisfied, and leave here." Aisha said, "Jack, burn her, we have a field advantage."
「YAHOYAHOHOhoho~!」
As Aisha raised her hand, a terrifying demonic flame erupted from Jack's pumpkin head and the lantern he was holding in his right hand, instantly burning away the roots of the tree and sweeping towards Yao.
Yao's expression was calm, and in the face of the sweeping flames, he didn't change at all.
A faint wind wrapped around her, inducing the show and dodging the attack.
Aixia's eyes widened, "She dodged away, no, it's the wind, is that her name gift."
It was Yao who dodged the attack, but it was the wind that caused the flames to deviate from the attack.
In contrast, Yao has already begun to perceive the secret of Jack's jack-o-lantern.
"The flame...... It's the same story as Jen's "ILLO" ISP."
Yao recalls the knowledge he gained before the competition.
- About the legacy of ILLO ISP and JKONERN.
The inheritance of the former is the phenomenon of blue and white flames suddenly appearing in uninhabited places, which is commonly known as ghost fire.
The inheritance of the latter is the rural legend of the wandering soul of the deceased after it was transformed into a skeleton, which is commonly known as a ghost.
However, there is a very common order between the two.
It is rumored that Jack was a great sinner in his two lives, so he could only wander endlessly between life and death after death.
The demon from hell felt a little pity for the other party, so he gave him the flame, that is, the flame that the other party had just released.
According to the previous Black Rabbit, having "inheritance" is equivalent to having "merit", which is also the origin of many spiritual personalities.
In other words, the leader of the community "illo" isp should be the "demon that appears in the realm of life and death"?
Although it is impossible to judge the identity of the other party's leader, the girl in front of her is not a leader, which means that the other party is not a demon or is not the same demon as the leader.
If Aixia has reached the level of a demon hovering in the realm of life and death, then Yao can directly raise his hand and surrender.
"Damn, this guy keeps flashing around." Aisha was a little irritated, "Jack, let's hit three in a row at the same time!"
「YAFUUUUUUuuuuuu!」
Aisha raised his left hand, and then Jack used the lantern in his right hand to release flames, three pillars of fire that were even more ferocious than before.
But in the face of such an attack, Yao did not even use the griffon's bounty and passed through the gap in the pillar of fire.
"How is that possible?" Aixia's eyes widened.
With a sparkle in her dazzling eyes, she had seen the truth of this flame from this attack.
That is, the truth of the ILLO "ISP" campfire.
The flames weren't released by Jack, but the girl, who was using her hands to release flammable gas or white phosphorus and the like.
That's right, it is
The truth.
The truth of "ILO" is that "combustible gases or substances emerge from the earth such as biogas".
That's why even on the surface of the lake, ghosts are born.
In other people, in the face of colorless and odorless natural gas, they really don't necessarily find problems.
But Yao, whose sense of smell is tens of thousands of times sharper than that of humans, is so faint that her breath is amplified countless times, which makes her sense of the problem.
The reason she was able to use the Vulture Lion's bounty to change the path of the flames was because she blew away the erupted gas or phosphorus before the flames were fired.
From Yaode's behavior, Ai Xia still doesn't understand that his methods have been seen through by the other party.
Gritting her teeth unwillingly, Aixia looked at Yao who had fled, and hurriedly said to Jack under her, "Damn, that guy is going to escape, Jack, if she continues like this, she will successfully escape."
With the gift she received from the griffin, Yao surpassed Aixia a lot in terms of footsteps, and the perception of the wind extending could also familiarize her with everything around her, and the so-called labyrinth did not have the slightest effect on her at all.
Aixia looked at Yao, who was constantly moving away, and finally resigned herself to her fate, and sighed, "It's really infuriating, although I am very unwilling, but I will leave it to you next, get serious, Mr. Jack."
"I see!" There is a bit of a dull voice, but also a bit of generosity.
Who would have thought that a jack-o-lantern that was supposed to be created could actually speak.
And when the other party's voice fell, Yao was surprised to find that Jack was gone, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Yao like a fog, startling her.
"Impossible!" Yao stopped, looking incredulous.
"I'm sorry, little girl!" Jack spoke slowly, "This is reality!"
With a loud sound, Jack's white hand knocked Yao out.
Yao was knocked off the wall formed by the roots of the tree, and the impact that nearly made her unconscious, and the slight vomiting sensation that came up made Yao cough.
Jack didn't continue to attack, but looked at Aixia beside him, "Okay Aixia, you go quickly, it's up to me to stop it!"
"Mr. Jack, I was going to win on my own."
Aixia said, looking at Yiyao, with unwillingness in his eyes.
"The reason is your arrogance and carelessness.
You have to reflect on it and learn a little bit about how this girl controls the situation in the game.
」
"I see, Mr. Jack." After saying this, Aixia didn't look at Yao again, but turned around and left directly.
Seeing Ai Xia leave, Yao also hurriedly tried to follow.
"Wait a minute!"
"Of course we can't wait! This is the end of your gaming journey." Jack said, and a little bonfire was taken out of the lantern, and the small flame instantly engulfed the roots of the tree, forming a wall of flames that roared and burned.
Yao gasped, and his body quickly retreated, the gap, this is a world of difference, and then looked at Jack in shock, because she had probably guessed the identity of the other party.
"That's right, as you guessed, I'm not the jack-o'-lantern made by Aisha Ignyiphaths, but the great masterpiece made by Vera Za Ignyiphathus, the object of your original vigilance, the great demon who appeared in the realm of life and death!
And I'm the oldest pumpkin ghost in the world...... Jkonern!」
Jack opened his mouth with a smile and revealed his identity in words that seemed to be joking.
At this time, there was still a flame rippling inside the pumpkin, but compared to before, the current flame emitted a completely different light from before.
He possessed a definite will and soul and a sense of oppression.
"Ho~, it looks like Yao-san is going to lose!" On the balcony, Hakuyasha, who was watching the battle, covered the corners of his mouth with a fan, but let out laughter.
"I'm sorry, it's because my information is inaccurate and I led Miss Yao into a misunderstanding!" Ren was a little ashamed
Chronic disease.
"It's not your fault, after all, even if Yao knows the other party's identity, Yao is not the other party's opponent.
If it were Sixteen Nights, Black Rabbit and I, I would still have a chance to win."
In short, except for the three of them, everyone else will also lose.
"Ho, it looks like you have an almost insulting understanding of the ILLO ISP.
The illo "ISP" is, as you understand it, is the origin of their flames, which comes from hellfire, that is, demonic fire.
But in the upper echelons of the community, this is not a secret.
The fact that the flame at the origin of the "ISP" is "chemical reaction" is that they themselves promote it to the outside world, and also to make it easier for outsiders to understand this phenomenon."
Hayasha's words left the crowd confused, "But why did they do that?"
"Quite simply, it's to tell people that there are corpses buried here, and in all seriousness, they're here to save the sad souls who have been abandoned with remorse."
There was a heaviness in Hakuyasha's voice.
After burial, the soil in which the body is buried often produces substances such as phosphorus and biogas.
Abandoned corpses can also be found in the area where the ILLO ISP flame is generated.
"As for this little girl's phosphorus.
Speaking of which, this little guy is also a poor soul, who died in the Plague, and for some reason became a Earth Bonder, and was also very talented when he was taken in by Vera while wandering, and became an outstanding Earth Spirit, so this child can also use substances such as phosphorus and biogas, which is also one of his gifted abilities to become an Earth Spirit."
"But why would the ILO ISP do this?" What do these things do not understand, is it pure conscience or something else?
"This is related to the legend of the ILLO ISP.
ILLO "ISP" is the guidance of the blue and white flame, a bonfire that leads the way for the souls of the dead who are not rewarded, and gradually ascends the spiritual personality and community by guiding the merits of the wandering souls.
For them, the banner depicted with the blue and white flame guide is the bonfire that leads the innocent souls; And the ambition of relief is not something that only the gods can manage!"
