When he read the story of Jianyu Mingfang before, Li Wu always had a doubt.

That's how did a guy who escaped to the Suwa area with a broken arm during a competition be worshipped as the god of force?

"In addition to the legend that you were rushed to Suwa by the god of thunder, there is actually another different version of the story."

Vines scorched by the flames quickly regenerated from the earth, trying to plug the gaps in the blockade.

"It is a legend recorded in the Suwa Damyojin Pictoria, which describes the Kengokata as an alien god and the local god of Suwa, Miyaga, who fought for dominance with vines and iron wheels, respectively, and finally conquered the region."

"What the hell are you trying to say, mortal?"

Although the expression was not distinguishable on the dragon's face, Kengo's tone had become impatient, and the storm that had been stopped was summoned by him again, screaming and elongating into a white spiral, like a huge arrow, opening the bow and pulling the string to point towards the center like a fireball bound by chains.

"I want to say that there is a similar element in your disgraceful black history, when you and Jianyu Thunder God competed, the latter's hand suddenly turned into a sword blade, so you were taken aback, and then you were pinched off a hand in turn."

"The God of Thunder was born from the blood stained by the roots of the Ten Fist Sword after cutting off the head of the God of Fire and the God of the Earth of Kagu, and he is the god of the sword soul. Sword Blade and Iron Wheel, in two of your most famous battles, enemies have attributes that represent steel that transforms the forces of nature, slays dragons, snakes, and monsters. ”

The moment the Storm Lost shot out, it pulled out a corridor of vacuum, roaring and colliding with the blue flames that had suddenly expanded in a circle, forming a shockwave visible to the naked eye, spreading out in a circle.

"Coupled with the fact that you used to be the god of wind, and you have the godhead of the god of dragons and snakes, and you are also worshipped as a god of agricultural harvest and hunting, and you use vines as weapons, these characteristics - the essence of Jianyu Mingfang is actually closer to the nature god, and the gladiatorial battle between you and Jianyu Thunder God and Leak Arrow God actually reflects the conflict between civilization and nature!"

The title of the god of force does not come from the experience of being defeated by the god of thunder, but from the defeated god of the skull, representing the reverence of the Suwa region.

Although he lost to the God of Sword Souls, he also defeated steel with vines, so he was able to restrain and be restrained by those who wielded swords.

The sword of wisdom transformed by the Dharma of the Fudo Ming King further liberated the power of the output as the understanding of the nature of the enemy deepened, and the targeted sword flame licked through the vines representing the natural god side of the Kengonomi Fang, causing it to dry up like a dead tree cut down by a steel axe.

Steel and fire, this is the first reliance of human beings to challenge the nature that gave birth to them, and why Kengonaya deliberately emphasized that "the sword of steel forged will decline here".

Like a tailor's knife piercing through white paper, a sword tip poked out of the increasingly loose burning vines, and a cyan arc of light was drawn on it.

The surrounding rattans turned into shriveled pieces and fell to the earth, and the dragon-headed god roared angrily, revealing a dragon body that was larger than the island.

Like a small raft, Kokurajima was grabbed left and right by the dragon's claws that protruded, and most of the serpentine torso that stretched out was submerged into the sea, stirring up white whirlpools, and the dragon raised its head and opened its mouth to welcome Li Wu, who fell from the sky like a grain of dust.

"Finally in the transformation stage—"

Faced with the abyssal mouth and blade-like air currents that quickly pulled in, Li Wu, who came out of the trap, returned the Kuli Garo sword to his left hand, "I've been looking forward to it for a long time!" ”

After obtaining the text of [Dragon Slayer], this is the first time that you have encountered a real dragon!

"Iron is hay, brass is rotten wood, and the serpent at the bottom of the ruins of the abyss walks on water, for the day of the curse has come!"

Calling from the spirit of mythology, another dark shadow rises from the whirlpool stirred by the name of the Emperor.

The dragon, who was still waiting for the enemy to throw himself into the net, felt a sudden pain in his back.

Rising from the white foam, the sea dragon, shaped like a mixture of crocodiles, snakes, and lizards, accompanied by the boiling currents and thunder that wrapped around its body, pressed against the back of its prey, biting at the dragon's back.

The rock-solid scales were cut apart, and a large amount of blood spurted out violently, smearing a large area of the sea red.

The sneak attack screamed and twisted his body in pain, rolling up the waves, but fortunately he didn't seem to want to take Kaguyahime's life, so that the Okura Island in his claws became a peaceful place for the two giant beasts to fight.

However, his long strip-like body and the stout four-legged beast of Leviathan did not have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat, and it was even more difficult to exert force after being clamped down on his back by his forelimbs, and not only could he not break free for a while, but even a piece of flesh was torn off alive at the bite part.

The storm was gradually subsided by Leviathan's intervention, and the originally raised head was pressed to the ground under the pressure of the sea dragon, and Li Wu landed unharmed in front of the five-colored treasure jade at the top, which was larger than others.

"Stop! I can give you that thing! From now on, there will be no other place but here! ”

From the fact that he found that he couldn't beat it and begged for mercy decisively, it can be seen that Jianyu Mingfang is not a god with discipline.

Not even the lines begging for mercy have not changed now.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can take it myself."

Leviathan dragged a small part of the dragon's body dragged on Ogura Island into the ocean as if it were riding on him, and Ken Yukata desperately grabbed the two ends of the island, and the rock pillars that formed the cornerstone of the foundation stone were suddenly broken under the pull of the great force, and then were pulled into the sea, leaving only a dragon head that was pressed down by the neck and lying on the remaining part of the island.

Looking down from the sky, he looked like a prisoner crushed on a guillotine.

"Thou art the dragon."

Steel grows out of the air and eventually forges the dragon-slaying sword.

Ascalon's size grew as needed, and Li Wu aimed the chisel on his blade that was used to break through the dragon's scales at the five-colored jade.

"What are you going to do?"

Jianyu Mingfang, who couldn't see the situation above his head, shouted in a furious heart, and the sea dragon behind him fiercely stabbed his front paws deep into the wound as if he was stimulated, grabbing the exposed white tendons.

At the same time, the hanging sword clicked on the scales of the dragon's head, making a soft clicking sound like a crab shell, and then penetrated deeply without mercy, just as the easy to dig hook was snapped onto the edge of the five-colored jade.

The roar reverberated a long distance on the sea, accompanied by the simultaneous force of one man and one dragon, the holding down Jianyu Ming Fang first sputtered out a blood arrow from his back, a white gelatinous object was sandwiched between the Leviathan's front paws, and was pulled away alive, and the five-colored jade on his head was also vigorously cocked at the same time, rolling down from the dragon's head.

Enjoying the treatment of the third prince of the dragon in an exotic legend, the famous party of Jianyu also aroused the ferocity of being worshiped as a martial god when facing a desperate situation, and the dragon body in the ocean was wrapped around the Leviathan's torso like a giant python, and for a while there was a posture of breaking free.

"If you had worked hard earlier, you might have been able to change the result now."

Standing on top of the dragon's head, Li Wu felt the earth shake like a mountain, and he raised his steel-like greatsword and poured it into the flames of wrath.

The blade of the sword extended upwards and twisted to form a shape resembling the tip of a spear, and true red flames swirled around it, and a scorching whirlwind swept the scales at the edge of the wound, causing them to crack like crispy toasted cookies.

He steadied his center of gravity in the undulating struggle of the dragon's head, holding Ascalon in both hands, facing the wound that had been exposed after digging out the five-colored jade.

Then, it's time to rush with all your might!

The cross-shaped flames boiled the dragon's blood, the shattered scales were pierced further, and the blade sank into the dragon's head from top to bottom, growing furiously like a bush of thorns inside.

Muscles and nerves were severed, bones cracked with a terrifying crack from the ever-expanding steel, and were quickly drowned in the fainter and faintest dragon's groan.

For the gods who had both dragon snake and natural attributes, the dragon slaying steel sword that grew in his body was undoubtedly like a spreading cancer cell, and Kengo's dying throes became more and more weak, and even the tumbling and churning sea water calmed down, oozing crimson dyed with blood.

Eventually, with the sound of a crisp bone crack, Li Wu pressed the exposed hilt with both hands and pressed it deep into the wound, and the wanton expansion of the blade transmitted the touch of piercing through some soft substance.

The spasmodic dragon's body stood still like a mechanical creature that had been de-electrified, and blood mixed with pink liquid flowed out of the dragon's mouth, creating a strangely colored river on the island.

The swirling black clouds in the sky then dispersed, the sunlight fell again, and Li Wu jumped from the low dragon body after dismissing the Leviathan who had been summoned.

On Ogura Island, where the landscape has been completely changed and even part of it has been stripped away, only one place has collapsed into a large pit on all sides, leaving a stone pillar in the middle still intact.

On the rock pillar, which had inexplicably turned from flat ground into a tower, the trapped princess poked her head out.

"I picked it up!"

Kaguya Ji picked up the five-colored jade in his hand and waved it downward, "Come up!" ”

"Maybe you'll jump faster."

Defeating the enemy to get the "clearance props", Li Wu, who was relaxed, teased the village girl-type lady who was about to say goodbye.

This guy should be angry again, tell him to stop making such jokes.

"Then I'll jump, you're going to catch me, Li Wujun."

“…… What? ”

The girl in the black and white panda costume rolled down from the edge of the stone pillar in a nervous huddle.

Ignoring the deep tiredness that had risen after the Leviathan's dismissal, he quickly stomped underneath the fallen Kaguyahime, then stomped on the ground at the bottom of the pit, leaping high to the point where he was almost parallel to her height.

When the relative speed of the two was about the same, Li Wu stretched out his hand, stopped the other party's body, and then fell to the ground unharmed.

"Are you stupid?!"

As a fighter, Leviathan's quality is not strong, and the corresponding summoning conditions are not only limited to the sea area, but also the energy consumed each time he uses it is extremely huge, so this time if he is not careful, he will make a joke about his teammates minus one after the battle.

"Obviously, Li Wujun asked me to jump!"

She twisted her body, turned her head aggrievedly, and held on to the crooked frames, only to realize that she was now in the situation of being held by the princess.

"Could it be that I want to seize the opportunity to defeat the god-sama who wants to bring me back, so my trust has increased, and I have created a heart crisis that falls from a high altitude, and finally succeeded in raising the friendship of the princess?! It's too deliberately designed, please try again next time! ”

Li Wu put his fist on her temple with a blank face, in exchange for Kaguyahime's repeated begs for mercy.

After putting her down, Kaguya took out a five-colored jade from the panda suit, which had shrunk to the size of a normal bead, and handed it to him.

"Shall we go back next?"

Li Wu originally thought that this suspicious illusion should stop after getting the treasure, but nothing happened, so he asked.

"Back to ...... Get back? ”

I don't know why, Kaguyahime's face suddenly turned red, "Are you so anxious?" Actually, it's okay to make a home here. ”

“……？”

He realized a fundamental problem.

"But since you have obtained the five-color jade, you really have to propose to your father first."

"Aha, in fact, maybe not only I got the treasure back, but the other four people may also succeed?"

"Don't worry!"

She took a few steps forward and tried to hold Li Wu's hand, "Do you remember what my father said before leaving?" Sincerity actually has little to do with treasures. ”

"Hey, that's your own problem!"

"There's actually one thing I haven't said."

Kaguya looked up at the sky, "That's why I chose my true husband from among the five betrothed people this time. Actually, five years ago in Kyoto, I met one of you and had a good memory. ”

"Suddenly added a meaningless setting of heavenly sweethearts!"

"But when we met again, I couldn't tell who the five people were."

"Are you face blind?! We're not quintuplets who look exactly the same! ”

"All in all, during the time we traveled together, I already knew who to marry."

Kaguyahime showed a gentle smile, and really had the temperament of a literary girl, "When the gods offered to take me back, Li Wujun did not give in, nor was he confused by the treasure, I am willing to believe in such a man." ”

"I'm starting to wonder if I've made the right choice......"

"So I don't need such a five-colored jade anymore!"

The ridiculous black and white doll costume was thrown away, revealing a girl in a pink and black bathrobe with millet hair curled up at the back of her head, and she bent down gracefully, regardless of the dust staining her clothes: "From now on, you will bother—"

"I already have a lover!"

Li Wu tried to interrupt.

"So what? I already knew. ”

Kaguya tilted her head strangely.

Calm down and think about what the conditions for the end of the illusion should be, but if it doesn't work, you can use Hoshikawa Aoi's favorite brute-force cracking method to smash the map.

Overall, although there are strange guys who intervene in the fantasy for some reason, the idea is to let the participants experience the process of Taketori Monogatari, and since it is a test of whether to have a treasure, it should be to reverse the fate of all five people in the original legend, so the last step in the end is ......

He immediately stuffed the five-colored jade into Kaguya's hand: "I'll give it to you!" As an engagement agreement for our engagement! ”

"Huh?"

As soon as a puzzled look appeared on Kaguyahime's face, it distorted along with the space that spread out like flowing water.

The light of the dragon's head jade gradually overlapped with the beads in reality, and when the world became clear again, the noisy Rei Inari Taisha Square came into view.

"The first person came out!" "He seems to have gained the recognition of the five-colored jade!"

Hoshikawa Aoi waved his hand in front of him and asked worriedly, "Li Jun, why are you stunned?" ”

"Didn't that fox face just say that the content of the fantasy is the story of Taketori Monogatari? I think he may have been confused by Kaguya-hime's beauty, Hoshikawa-san, you have to be careful. ”

Shiratori Mayi - Shiratori Mayi in reality pushed his glasses and teased, and was beaten by a blushing magical girl.

Seeing her face, Li Wu almost instinctively took a step back.

"You've been here all along?"

"No, I went over there and watched the shrine maiden dance."

Shiratori Maki's face was as usual, as if nothing had happened.
