Chapter 5: The Volcano Witch
Early morning.
A passenger ship from the East, gliding across the misty sea, sails to the harbor.
On deck, a middle-aged couple was discussing with friends they had met on the trip which restaurant to go to for lunch after disembarking.
The couple's only child, a young boy in a peaked cap, is not interested in what the adults are talking about.
Standing alone on the side of the ship, holding a camera, looking at the horizon in the east through the lens.
He made an agreement with a friend in his hometown to take a magnificent picture of the sunrise over the sea and send it to her.
For most of the flight, however, the weather around sunrise was overcast and foggy, and there was no view of the rising sun leaping over the sea.
Occasionally, on a sunny day, the boy missed the best time to watch the sunrise because he slept in.
Today is his last chance to deliver on his promise, and he can't afford to miss it.
Unfortunately, today is another foggy day.
With the last shred of hope, the boy waited for the fog to dissipate.
It was almost six o'clock when the fog finally faded.
The rising sun has long since jumped over the horizon.
The boy was helpless, and in the spirit of doing his best, he hurried to press the shutter.
Click!!
"Huh? What is that......? ”
A scene that unintentionally swept over the camera, replacing the sunrise over the sea, firmly grabbed the boy's eyeballs.
Near a private beach, on the calm sea, a huge whirlpool is inexplicably set off.
It was as if a large hole had appeared at the bottom of the sea, greedily devouring the seawater.
The boy pointed his camera lens at the whirlpool, a hint of anticipation rising in his mind.
Not long after, an even more miraculous scene appeared.
A giant whale the size of a ship pokes its head out of the whirlpool.
The boy rubbed his eyes vigorously, his face confused.
He had never heard of a whale with jade skin in the world!
Intrigued, the boy switched the camera to photography mode, intending to record everything he saw in front of him in the form of a live video.
The green whale floats in the middle of the whirlpool and does not rotate with the current.
There seems to be some kind of magical power that allows it to keep its center of gravity steady in the rapids.
The whale shakes its wide side fins, as if stretching its back.
The upper body slowly rises up, twisted and deformed.
Under the boy's stunned gaze, he changed from a giant whale form to a half-human, half-beast monster!
This behemoth, just the upper body of the exposed sea, is no less than fifty meters high, and it is covered with turquoise mane!
Perhaps because of the overdeveloped muscles of the upper limbs, the giant beast appeared slightly hunchbacked.
Throw off two long thick arms and bow forward in the sea.
The way he walks is very similar to the primitive people depicted in popular science pictorials.
It's just that the monster is 10,000 times bigger than the primitive!
The boy's hand holding the camera was shaking.
Watch as the behemoth strides straight to the beach and towards a bustling metropolis with a population of over 10 million......
In the boy's mind, a movie scene with a strong sense of déjà vu suddenly appeared.
"Oh my God! Godzilla has come ashore!! ”
A childish exclamation echoed over the deck.
……
Rough waves, undulating underfoot.
The giant beast Alan, wading ashore.
On the steamer in the distance, the boy's exclamation was captured by his keen ears.
I can't help but laugh at myself.
The boy who was making a fuss was really worried.
Allen's wave form is still in the development stage, and the destructive power has not yet reached the level of the elder brother.
Moreover, Eren has no desire to destroy indiscriminately.
At least not yet, we haven't fully indulged in the violent impulses in our hearts.
Landing on the beach, Alan's body slowly shrinks, transforming from a giant beast back to a medium-sized Asian teenager.
A trail of huge footprints left behind.
Two uniformed and white-gloved valets, guarding the beach.
Seeing Alan go to sea, he greeted him with dry clothes.
Eren first cast a spell to evaporate the water stains on his body.
Under the service of the servants, he changed his clothes.
This beautiful beach is the property of the Hong Gang.
In the past, it was used by gang bosses to spend their summer vacations and entertain distinguished guests.
Now it has become a practice ground for Allen.
More than a month has passed since the night of the fusion of the Wave Beamon Blood Essence.
Alan tried many methods, but the inefficiency of his practice made him sigh.
The magic power of this world is too thin, and there are no resources such as magic stones to assist in cultivation.
Every week, only on Saturday, Eren was able to absorb a little bit of water elemental magic.
The efficiency of cultivation is less than one-tenth of that of the warlock world.
Compared to the Astral Realm Holy Demon Ancestral Court, it is even more different!
This made Allen, who was accustomed to efficient practice, very uncomfortable!
According to the system's deduction, if Alan wants to increase the progress of Ancestor Beamon's origin fusion to 100%, he must meet two conditions.
First, subdue the six elemental behemoths and seize their bloodline essence and elemental divinity.
Secondly, fully absorb the magic of the six elements of water, fire, earth, wind, electricity, and ice, until they are fully integrated and integrated.
First, Eren only needs to defeat the six giant beasts separately, and he can do it.
In his view, problems that can be solved by violence are not difficult problems.
Second, if you can't find a shortcut to cultivation, calculate it according to the current progress......
It takes at least 600 years of penance to reach the standard of saturation of the six elements and the integration of mixed elements!
Seeing the deduction results given by the system, Allen's heart was half cold.
Six hundred years, which is equivalent to the life of the 4th order freezing agent and the child rejuvenating agent, all of which are exhausted!
That's it.
What made Alan even more unbearable was ......
Trapped in the origin space of the ancestor Beamon for six hundred years, after leaving the customs, the outside world has not known how many years have passed.
In case of vicissitudes, things are not people......
Alan couldn't have imagined.
No way!
We have to think of ways to improve our cultivation efficiency!
With this purpose in mind, Alan moved to the seashore.
After repeated attempts, he found that the deeper the sea and the more fierce the currents, the higher the concentration of water elemental magic.
Cultivating in such an environment is of great benefit to one's own waves than the bloodline.
Unfortunately, there is always a limit to the wind and waves in nature.
Even if Eren cultivates in the tsunami, his efficiency can only increase by two to three times.
Unable to find a naturally occurring tsunami, he cast a spell to manipulate ocean currents to form a raging whirlpool and artificially create an environment suitable for cultivation.
"Young Master, are you convenient now? I have a very important letter for you. ”
Uncle An held a letterhead and stood under the palm tree, looking respectful.
Ever since Alan became a saint of the Wave Esoteric Sect and was in charge of the supreme power of the church and the Hong Gang, Uncle An consciously took a back seat and regarded himself as Allen's butler and assistant.
Alan was pleased with his attitude of understanding current affairs.
The day-to-day affairs of the gang and the church were still managed by Uncle An.
He only cares about two things.
One is spiritual practice.
The second is the movement of other elemental esoteric religions.
The letter sent by Uncle An to Allen was signed by Yoko Asura, a saint of the Volcanic Esoteric Sect and known as the "Red Witch".
"Miss Yoko, I just arrived in the metropolis by special plane from Kyoto today, and I am eager to meet the young master."
Uncle An whispered the intention of the Volcano Esoteric Sect.
Alan opened the envelope and pulled out an invitation.
Juanxiu's Chinese characters show good calligraphy skills.
The wording is quite polite.
At 7 o'clock tonight, Allen was invited to meet in a high-end restaurant, and strive to eliminate the conflict between the two sides through friendly negotiations.
Meeting restaurant, located in the busiest neighborhood of the city center.
Alan has a bit of an impression of a three-Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant.
The attitude of the letter is very friendly, but Alan will not be naïve to think that the other party is really some kind of peace messenger.
Tonight's gathering is more likely to be a feast.
"Uncle An, call Kevin and Aprile and ask them to accompany me to the banquet."
Alan put away the invitation and added with a smile.
"The video account that Kevin and April helped me run has more than 100 million followers, and I will have a celebration program tonight to broadcast the negotiations between the two esoteric sects and open the eyes of the audience!"
"Young Master...... This kind of backroom negotiation, are you sure it is suitable for public live broadcasting? Uncle An couldn't help but question.
"It's not a scandal that can't be seen, what's not suitable?"
Alan asked indifferently.
"For many years, the Esoteric Sect has joined forces with the chaebol and government departments to block the fact that there is a supernatural power in this world, and to raise the people like pigs, don't you think it's boring to do this? It's time to make the truth public. ”
"After that, however, the whole world will be plunged into panic and chaos!" Uncle An's face was full of sincerity, and he tried his best to persuade Allen, "Young Master, is this the result you want?" ”
"Yes, that's what I want to see."
Alan nodded calmly.
"Everything originates from chaos and will eventually return to chaos."
"Stability and order are the exception to panic and chaos, and it's time to return the world to normal."
"If revealing the truth will lead to the collapse of order, bringing panic and chaos, then let it all come more violently!"
Without chaos, there is no change.
Without change, there is no vitality.
Alan has deeply felt that the character of the ancestor Beamon is more inclined to act recklessly than by following the rules.
Driven by passion, you can break the rules you think are unreasonable at will.
This kind of life, of course, is not moral, and will even be regarded as a madman, at least every day is full of passion and thoughts.
Of course, Alan is also clearly aware that the premise of acting rashly is to have enough power to protect himself.
Otherwise, you will only be treated as a mad dog and beaten to death in the street.
……
Time Warner Center.
A famous Japanese restaurant on the fourth floor is closed to the public today.
Two men in suits and sunglasses were guarding the door, and the evil aura emanating from their bodies was substantial.
"Young Master, please come in."
Uncle Ann led the way and led Alan into the door.
Behind Allen, followed by Kevin and April.
The two of them were carrying equipment bags, and their faces could not hide their nervousness.
It was the first time to set foot in such a high-end restaurant and attend the Esoteric summit meeting, and I couldn't help but be a little flattered.
Swish!
When I opened the door, a long dining table was already set up in the spacious Japanese-style box.
Across the table, a young woman dressed in a red kimono with jet-black hair combed into a Shimada bun sits gracefully on a tatami mat.
If it weren't for the katana hanging from her slender waist, she would look like a geisha with fair skin and a gentle temperament.
Alan took off his shoes and took two steps forward.
Across the dining table, he knelt opposite the young woman in red.
The eyes of the two sides collided above the table.
The silent confrontation provoked a strong smell of gunpowder.
"Your Excellency is the new saint of the Wave Esoteric Sect?"
The young woman in red asked unhurriedly.
Alan nodded and asked indifferently, "Yoko Asura?" ”
The young woman in red also nodded slightly.
His eyes drifted behind Allen, and he saw the camera equipment in Kevin and April's hands, and his crimson pupils showed a touch of displeasure.
Yoko Asura gestured.
The sliding door of the next room suddenly opened.
Two red-robed men rushed out and demanded that Kevin and Aprile hand over their camera equipment.
Kevin and April looked at each other and looked at Alan in embarrassment.
"Sorry, it's forbidden to shoot here!"
"I don't want this meeting to leak out to unrelated people."
Asura Yoko said lightly.
"Mr. Allen, allow me to maintain my privacy."
"I'm sorry, I refuse."
Allen's answer was obviously unexpected by Asura Yoko.
The gorgeous face showed a look of astonishment.
"Why?"
"Because I've already previewed tonight's live show on my video account."
"Miss Yoko, you probably don't know yet, but I'm a top Internet celebrity with hundreds of millions of subscribers!"
Alan picked up the sake and took a sip with a smile.
"As a public figure, in order to maintain my character, I must fulfill my promises."
"The old irons who paid for the reservation are waiting for me to start broadcasting, I can't release everyone's pigeons."
Yoko Asura was speechless.
The beautiful face gradient distorts.
Alan watched her expression change and added with a smile:
"If you're worried about not being on camera, I can help you with beauty effects."
"You're a man...... It's unreasonable! ”
Yoko Asura gritted her teeth, and her eyes seemed to be on fire.
"Don't expose all the shots about me, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!"
Ignoring her warning, Alan raised his hand to signal Kevin and April, turn on the camera, and start the live broadcast on time!
"Presumptuous!"
Asura Yoko couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly pulled out her sword and slashed!
Swish!!
Between the lightning and the fire, the snow-bright blade dragged the flames and swept straight towards Allen's neck.
A sneer appeared on Alan's lips.
The two fingers of his right hand reached forward calmly, pinching the oncoming katana with precision.
The fingers hit the blade of the knife with a sonorous sound of gold and iron!
Click!
Allen's wrist exerted force, and with only two fingers, he broke the katana on the spot.
The blade forged from stainless steel didn't make the slightest scar on his hand.
The fire-based magic condensed on the blade scorched a few hairs.
"Awesome!"
Alan looked at his reddened fingers and nodded in admiration.
It can burn his skin and scorch his hair, indicating that the fire magic attached to the knife has reached at least the sixth-order level.
Asura Yoko is worthy of being a saint of volcanic esoteric religion.
It can be regarded as the strongest opponent that Allen has encountered since he came to the origin space.
"You ......"
The young woman in red held the broken knife, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but widen, full of disbelief.
"Miss Yoko, you were the first to move, so don't blame me for being unkind."
Alan suddenly flipped the table.
The wooden table, together with the bowls and chopsticks and cutlery, smashed into the beautiful young woman opposite.
Yoko's reaction was not slow either.
One second he was still sitting on his knees, and the next moment he was bouncing up and leaping backwards.
The moment he landed, his muscles tensed and he entered a fighting state.
However, she didn't know what she was facing......
What a monster!
Alan still sat on his knees, pushed forward with his left hand, and blasted out a "just palm wave" with fifty percent of his strength.
Boom!!
Indoor air bursts!
The papier-mâché doors, windows, tables and chairs are all shattered in an instant!
As if bombarded by a cannonball, Yoko Asura involuntarily flew backwards.
The bewitching carcass crashes through the walls, across the glittering downtown area, and quickly disappears into the depths of the night.
