Chapter 70: The Headless Horseman's Persona
It is said that as the Headless Horseman carries out his mission to take away the souls of the dying man, there is no obstacle that can stop him in his path.
Wherever they went, closed doors opened open for their passage.
Behind the open factory gates, a sound like the roar of a wild beast was heard.
Li Wu protected Airisa behind him, and Teraya Mahiro also got up from the ground and retrieved his firearm.
The forgery's heads, which had been placed around the factory, lit up with a blood-colored light, and showed vivid expressions as if they had been infused with the souls of the dead.
The facial features of the plaster human head are distorted, tangled into a painful expression, the head of the wood carving is cracked at the corners of the mouth, outlining a treacherous smile, and the lifelike handicrafts of the handicraft department are even more alive to reveal all kinds of expressions of joy and sorrow.
Airisa grabbed Li Wu's clothes behind her back with some fear, and the Teraya siblings also raised their guard.
The beast's roar grew closer, then gradually became more like another sound.
It's like the roar of an engine at night.
Immediately afterwards, the black-clad knight drove a motorcycle that looked like a Yamaha Vmax1700 model, like a meteor flying close to the ground, breaking through the door, rubbing a line-like Martian stream on the ground, and crashing into the ninjas in the center at full speed.
Teraya Mahiro and Rika Teraya retreated to the left and right, and shot bullets and shuriken at the galloping steel behemoth, but they were both bounced away in vain.
"Ninjas and mythical monsters are keeping up with the times."
Li Wu looked at the text of [Du Rahan] written above the neck of the mysterious person who suddenly came to visit, and had such an impression.
It's not like the legendary image of a tall black horse wearing armor, holding his head in one hand, and sitting under his crotch.
The modern-day Headless Horseman was wearing a black biker jacket with an empty neck, but on the back seat of the sleek body sat a motorcycle helmet that seemed to have the right size inside.
Unable to get a glimpse of his true face, he did not slow down, and kept hitting the central load-bearing pillar where the werewolf had been tied.
When it came into contact with the cylinder, the colossal kinetic energy that it was supposed to carry seemed to turn into a phantom, not to mention a collision, and the fierce car climbed up against the load-bearing column as if it had no mass, and then reversed direction in place and collided again.
This time, the direction of his breakthrough was where Li Wu was, and at the same time let out a low shout: "Temple House is really searching!" Terraya Rika! ”
According to Irish legend, the soul of a person whose name is called by the Headless Horseman is taken from him and he immediately falls to the ground and dies, a power possessed by the coachman known as the Afterlife.
Since Li Wu designed the duel to be a human sacrifice ritual, he naturally tried to collect sacrifices for the gods he served.
However, there was nothing unusual about the two people whose names were called, except that a dim golden light flashed in their respective arms.
Li Wu picked this time to uncover the first prepared trap.
He snapped his fingers.
The factory, which did not receive much sunlight and looked gloomy, was suddenly brightly lit.
The light source came from the jack-o-lantern he had placed on the metal beam.
The pumpkins, carved into Halloween's costumes, glow from their carved eye sockets and mouths, but even more dazzling than the flames are the golden glow of the items stuffed into the pumpkins.
The menacing headless rider slammed down the brakes like a novice driver who suddenly saw a pedestrian, and the mount beneath him drifted sideways for some distance, leaving blackened marks on the concrete floor.
"The weakness of fear of gold seems to have been confirmed."
Li Wu increased the output of the flames, and the jack-o-lanterns burst one after another in the high temperature, and along with the juice, it was a tinkling gold coin.
He deliberately controlled the temperature and did not melt the gold obtained from the little goblin, and for a moment it was like a golden rain in the room, and the headless horseman under the rain curtain was like a rider whose horses were suddenly frightened, the locomotive head was held high, trying to break through but was deterred by the falling gold coins around him.
This time the battle may be surprisingly simple.
Li Wu began to prepare for the use of the Kurigara Sword, and he said in a loud voice, "You are the messenger of the Lord of Hades, the goblin who guides the dead, but at the same time you are also the side incarnation of the gods!" ”
Just as the blue flame-covered dragon sword was about to appear, the other three people present were attacked in unison.
Withered arms reached out from the ground and grabbed their feet.
Airisa instantly turned into a cloud of white mist and evaded the grab, floating to the side, and Teraya Mahiro and Teraya Rika left two pieces of wood in place and flashed to another location.
However, more and more arms emerge from the ground, and then the female spirits crowd the interior of the factory in cascades.
They all have the word "Banshee" written on their heads.
This is a fairy who brings bad luck and pronounces death, and often walks with the Headless Horseman.
The arm stretched out from the ground grabbed the gold coin beside the headless horseman, and left it far away, Li Wu, who saw this scene, chose to destroy these banshees first.
"King Ming swallowed the sword of wisdom and fire of the outer way, and exhaled like two trillion thunders, and it rang out for a while!"
The sound of the sword roaring was like Huang Zhong Da Lu, and even affected reality, and the empty factory was like a huge resonance cavity amplifying the sound waves, and the destructive power of sweeping back and forth crushed these banshees belonging to the spirit body into formless and massless smoke and dust.
By the way, Airisa, who had turned into a white mist, shook back to the prototype and almost fell to the ground in a swaying manner.
Forget that this trick worked for her too.
Despite the success of this wave, the arms did clear a path for the Headless Horsemann without gold.
He increased the throttle and sprinted straight out of the door.
"It's a little late to escape."
Li Wu stood in front of the roaring locomotive, and the rider who commanded it drew a whip from the void that looked like it was made of a human backbone, and swept it towards him.
He reached out and grabbed the blasting bone whip, the flames spreading upwards like appendages.
The locomotive, which was still moving at high speed, moved forward with Li Wu, who did not let go of the whip, and ploughed two shallow marks on the ground.
Li Wu, who originally wanted to open the manifestation of the law and drag back the irascible knight, found that when he exerted his strength, the locomotive seemed to turn into a ghost, and could only be dragged outside unilaterally.
He immediately changed his strategy, simply smashing the ground under his feet and leaping to his feet, and got on the locomotive that was trying to escape.
It's good, it didn't penetrate directly like a virtual body.
"Dude, your car is good, how much does it cost?"
The galloping Headless Horseman rushed out of the factory, his crotched mount soaring into the air.
Then there was an eerie greeting behind him.
Li Wu put his shoulder on him, and threw the motorcycle helmet up and down with his other hand as if he was playing with a catch.
Corrected, it was a head wearing a motorcycle helmet.
