Chapter Seventy-One: Sniping and Doubt
The sky and the earth were reversed in an instant.
Freed from the restraints of gravity, the Headless Horsemann instantly reversed the locomotive, trying to shake off the uninvited hitchhiker.
At the same time, he called out Li Wu's name and tried to exert the power to seize the soul.
But even the siblings of the temple house stuffed a gold coin into each of them, and naturally he would not forget to carry it.
He grabbed the back seat of the locomotive and hung it in the air, his right hand still clutching the other's head.
The helmet was presumably protected by some supernatural force, and while the head could be faintly seen through the mask, it could only reach a void through the opening in its neck.
So he simply lit a flame and wrapped the entire helmet.
"It's all on the locomotive, I'll help you cos Nicholas Kay."
The swollen flames turned the entire helmet red, and the visor made of an unknown material cracked a few cracks, splashing a few bits of fire.
The knight in front of him seemed to feel pain as well, and the bone whip wrapped around his arm popped out as if it had life, and the tip spun and pointed at Li Wu's throat hanging in the air.
"Don't be polite to me!"
Li Wu threw himself high like a horizontal bar, brushed past the whip that shot like a spear, and threw it at the enemy as he fell, still burning in his hand, like a torch in his head.
In the grappling just now, they had already risen a considerable distance like arrows from the string.
"This height should be just right."
Li Wu spread his arms and turned his back to the ground to feel the whistling wind.
He could see that his helmet, infused with enough flame of wrath, was wrapped in a nimble bone whip, and then burst into brilliant brilliance under the stimulus.
The crimson fireworks spread out like layers of round cakes, carrying the scorching wind, and they looked very striking in the air.
The black metal of the motorcycle deformed in the heat, and the leather suit on the rider was burning, which really looked like a ghost rider from hell.
As the embodiment and messenger of the Celtic gods, the Flame of Wrath did not seem to be so fatal to him, and despite the churning of sparks, the headless knight still held the grip of the locomotive, like a comet falling from the sky towards the falling Li Wu.
In response, he aimed at the enemy above him in the same posture as he did with a pistol.
A pillar of white light across the sky engulfed the steel behemoth from the side, smashing the knight's car like a physical impact.
Before he was caught up in the attack, he let go of the handlebars, but the locomotive, which had been hit hard in a row, had no such good luck, and as the parts splashed, it spilled red liquid, fell to the ground, and swirled into the outer wall of the factory, creating a huge pit.
The second trap prepared for him was successfully launched.
The white light flickered and faded into the air, ending in a girl standing on the roof of a building near the factory.
Hoshikawa Aoi set up the huge axe gun magic guide on the fence of the rooftop, and Xiaobai sat on the barrel of the central axis, holding a magnifying glass with both claws.
The illusionary light created by the magic is locked onto sparks that burst like flares.
"Successful hit!"
She raised her left hand and jumped up.
Since he was preparing to deal with the Headless Horseman, Li Wu of course brought all the combat power he could use.
If it weren't for their own official duties, he would still want to pull Yuki Akabane and Lilia, even if they don't have any combat effectiveness, they can be cheerleaders next to them.
Now the ambush sniper has succeeded in destroying the Headless Horsemann's car, and they have landed in the open space outside the factory one after the other.
Li Wu continued to recite the words that had been interrupted earlier: "After the Abrahamic religion was introduced to Ireland, the belief in the Celtic gods declined, and the blood sacrifice ritual gradually ceased.
"Legend has it that Krurennos, unwilling to be forgotten by the world, roamed the roads in the form of the headless Durrahan, calling on the names of those who were dying and sucking their souls."
He mimicked the unloading technique he had seen Rika Teraya perform in the duel before, and under the operation of [Pure Eye], he almost instinctively brushed away the bone whip that stabbed and split like a metal storm.
"Fire gives birth to samadhi, burns filth, and its sword of wisdom breaks all kinds of entanglements."
"After mixing with such folklore, you are formed, the Beheaded, the Messenger and Incarnation of the Pagan God!"
Li Wu swung his sword and slashed the white bones from the middle, and stepped forward all the way.
The withered arms were once again summoned from the ground, forming a barrier in front of them.
The Headless Horsemann threw the head he was holding into the air, his tattered helmet disintegrating, revealing its true face beneath it.
The sudden alarm in his heart was like a cold claw climbing up to his back, and he suddenly lowered his head to avoid looking directly at the obscured face.
There was a burning sensation from the gold coin in his arms, and with him as a starting point, the scene behind him turned gray as if it had lost color.
Whether it was the weeds growing in the clearing, the debris left over from the former factory lying horizontally behind him, and even if Li Wu looked up, he could see that the blue sky was also dyed with extremely fine gray.
The guide of the underworld has unleashed his power in this world with all his might, and Li Wu can already feel the blessing of gold to the limit, and he is on the verge of collapse at any time.
He took a deep breath, kept his eyes closed, and raised the blade of his sword, opening the state of manifestation of the law phase.
The posture of the Osori werewolf who had fought against the enemy before came to mind.
If the other party turns the tables here, then the people gathered in the factory today, whether it is Airisa, Hoshikawa Aoi, or the teraya-senpai and poker-faced ninja who were swept in, will die.
He clenched the burning Kuligara Sword in his hand, and the muscles in his arm rushed like mercury to converge, biting into a gear with more conduction efficiency.
Speaking of which, if this is just an imitation, should it be called pseudo-collapse?
After acting with full concentration, the mind instead begins to come alive in irrelevant places.
He took a step back, pulled his waist open, and threw his sword with his previous impressions and instincts.
The defense formed by the underground arm exploded into a piece of minced flesh in an instant, and with a terrible roar, the green flames spread into a ring-like trail, and finally there was a sound like a rotten apple being smashed with a bang.
The color of the grass beneath your feet returned to normal.
Li Wu raised his head, and the sword of Kuligaro pierced through a mass of rotten flesh and nailed it to the wall of the factory, the blade still trembling.
The headless horsemann, whose head was theoretically blown up, remained upright, but did not attack.
"Great human being, you have overcome the test of death." He praised in a deep voice, "It's been a long time since I've understood what it's like to be banished. ”
"Less nonsense, who is the person who instructs you?" Li Wu waved his hand to recall the sword, "Otherwise, I'll kick Ling's head as a ball, literally." ”
He looked at the other man's smashed head threateningly.
The Headless Horseman was silent for a moment, and then said in a strange tone, "Didn't you hold a blood sacrifice ceremony and call me over?" After refusing to hand over the sacrifice, I naturally need to be punished. ”
Li Wu was also silent.
"You're not here for Erisa?"
"Who?"
“…… Ahem, it's nothing, since you've been expelled, then you can leave quickly, I won't send it. ”
The Headless Horseman does not have the concept of death, and can only be driven away temporarily.
Li Wu, who was a little embarrassed, tried to send off the guest in a hurry.
The other person's body began to gradually dissipate: "I will leave this city, and the spirit here will be calmed down because of it." Moreover, though I do not know why you are looking for me, I have indeed come here for you, so even if there is no ceremony, we will have a battle. ”
"Wait a minute, what did you say? What do you mean by me? ”
Suddenly hearing unexpected news, Li Wu asked.
"It's okay, you'll know the answer sooner or later."
He disappeared in a whirlwind.
The mythical creature claimed to have come to Chiyo City for himself, rather than being the same as werewolves and leprechauns who clearly belonged to someone, as he had previously suspected.
Li Wu wrote down this piece of information that he didn't know whether it was true or not, and pressed all kinds of doubts in his heart for the time being.
I went home and coded more than 5,000 words, and the part of the update is being made, but the release time may be a little late, and you can save it until tomorrow morning
