Chapter 196: Battle of the Moon
Moon.
It is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, and the temperature difference between day and night reaches 200 degrees.
At least in the sense of common sense.
But the two sides that provoked the fight here obviously have no intention of being bound by common sense.
"Drink the wine, and then perish—"
Susanoo, who had completely transformed into a young man, pointed his sword diagonally downwards and sang loudly the spirit of words that were still powerful in the vacuum.
Even in the absence of air, the sweet and crisp fragrance was almost compulsorily infused into Li Wu's senses.
It is something that can be seen, something that can be smelled; It is as if fingers can touch and tongues can taste, leading life to a sweet breath that is rotten and depraved like an overripe fruit.
Like the goddess of the temple, Susanoo is seen as the same being as the ancient Indian plague god Bull Head Tenking, and this is a testament to his status as a member of the genealogy of the bull gods that included elements of "bull worship" such as Baal, Shakti, and Zeus.
The combination of the plague god, who spreads disease and destroys villages, and the steel god who lures Yaki Orochi into drinking and kills him, is the result of the combination of the two gods, which is literally poisonous.
Even the lifeless lunar soil melted into a swampy soft mud, but it made people feel the demonic temptation of wanting to get drunk and die here, and then sleep soundly.
Bluffing the body, obscuring the senses, even the heat that is violently running in the body like a reactor seems to be slowly sluggish and cooling.
If it were to be used in the city, it would probably rot thousands of people to the point where no bones remained, and the dwellings built by civilization would be turned into a place where no grass could grow.
Li Wu gritted the tip of his tongue and stopped before his opponent could make any further moves: "O wheel of light that never falls, present to you the temple born from the earth!" ”
Pillars of boulder rose out of thin air from the alien lands in response to the call, creating a sacred place for the Celts to worship the sun.
The scorching and warm breath spread, causing the poison and pestilence to melt away like snow.
In 536 AD, the ash from the Krakatoa volcano blocked out the sunlight, and the resulting climatic anomaly contributed to the epidemic of Justinian's plague, which indirectly led to the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire.
In other words, if the sun shines normally, the disease will melt.
After breaking the poisonous wine, Li Wuze, who was in the center of the position, felt his strength rise again, as if he was connected to the place where Stonehenge was, and the endless energy was like adding a handful of dry wood to the raging fire, and even the hidden scars left in the previous battle were rapidly healing.
"The dragon that breathes fire, the sun that springs from the horizon...... Thou art my mortal enemy in every sense of the word! ”
From Susanoo's point of view, the opponent in front of him has completely detached himself from the human form.
Heavy, dull shadows ripped out from behind him, writhing and casting a monstrous, massive body on the ground.
It was a winged creature with scales and claws, and the dragon oozed red blood, trembling its scales as if it had life, as if it would raise its head and let out a fierce cry in the next moment.
The master of the shadow is like a torch shrouded in flames, like the raging heat of underground magma, bound within a body with no human appearance, and the left and right protrudes at any time to expand and explode.
"Ahh
As if he had lost the ability to speak, Li Wu shook his head, barely responding with words.
It's not what should be said, but what should be done.
Pursed on by the flames that nearly burned his sanity after being strengthened twice, he defied the gods' declarations.
Then, charge at the enemy!
With a single step, the ground within a radius of several thousand meters silently collapsed downward.
The flames scattered behind him seemed to be stretched by the impact, setting off a slowly swirling storm of flames around them.
As if bathed in lava overhead, the bronze lines that lit up on the surface of the body ignited with scarlet flames, and the steam that gushed out turned the body into a twisted human form shrouded in dark red flames.
Compared to the warriors who charge into battle, they are more like fierce beasts fighting in the mountains.
Like a meteor galloping on the ground, the running Li Wu baked and divided the lunar ground along the way in silence, and the splashing of gravel and dust was thrown high and slowly fell under the influence of low gravity.
It was only in an instant that the distance between the two was crossed, and Li Wu raised the cross sword and spear, as if using it as a long stick, and smashed it sideways with the scorching flame wind.
Misestimating his power at this point, Susanoo raised his pitch-black sword to block, and was then knocked out to the right with an untransmittable pop, leaving a long ravine.
At the moment of his miss, Li Wu launched a stormy pursuit.
That is not to allow the other party to adjust its posture at all, not to carry out defense and cover for itself, a simple and violent attack.
Unlike before, which was stable and straight, and although it was not a clever technique, at least it was under the control of reason, the attacks that contained heavy mass as if they were about to pierce through the mountains were now being delivered in a row.
Abandoning the so-called rules and techniques, it is more like swinging a hammer to forge steel or driving a piledriver to slash and stab, one shot heavier than the other, like a beast entangled in an unbalanced enemy, until the moment he can no longer maintain his defense, he will completely reveal his hideous face and bite the throat of the opponent.
Crookedly hitting, no matter how exquisite the sword skills are, they can't be used in the face of such an offensive, Susanoo is like a flying insect dragged into a spider's web, with empty wings but difficult to leap, and can only be temporarily dragged into the rhythm of the opponent.
The aftermath of each shot would cause the land between the two to be crumpled and collapsed by a huge force, and every time the sword and spear intersected with the divine sword, it would be accompanied by an explosion of lightning and flames, and the heat that was condensed into a line would be released when Li Wu swung his weapon, turning into a true red cone-shaped band of light, evaporating and destroying the lunar soil that no one had ever set foot on.
If you look down from space where there is no atmosphere, you should be able to see flashes of light and flames from time to time.
As if tired of such entanglements, after forcing Susanoo to take a step back again, Li Wu jumped high.
Like a strong bow that was tensed to the limit, he threw himself back in mid-air and stretched his right hand holding the holy spear backwards.
The diffuse flames spiraled and converged on the cross-sword spear, centering on the blood-colored armament and began to turn.
It was the surface of the moon, where there was almost no air, but the invisible repulsion created the effect of a storm blowing, and the ground that had become devastated folded as if it had been hit by the solar wind.
In order to actually hit the enemy, the build-up is only done in a split second.
It's like a fire being thrown from the sky, and the dark red spiral is like a spinning drill falling from the sky!
- Is it a complete berserk and a loss of mind?
Such thoughts flashed through Susanoo's mind.
"I wasn't so easily defeated!"
Holding the pitch-black sword in both hands, Susanoo faced the heat of purgatory, fearlessly swinging a slash from the bottom up.
He chose to hit head-on.
The moment the flames and the divine sword struck, the ground on which Susanoo was standing sank.
It's as if an island has fallen from the sky, and then all the weight is concentrated in one point.
The gray surface of the moon creates a huge vortex like an ocean, and the dust is stirred and attracted towards the center, falling into a seemingly bottomless abyss, and the earth flows to fill the void that was born inward.
— but the impact is not over.
If there was blood in the gods, then the blood that should have been cold for a long time was rushing through the veins of Susanoo, who had regained his youthful form, causing him to let out a meaningless cry.
"Huhuhahehehe! Don't laugh! I can't fuck anymore hahahaha! ”
It was already a mistake to let the enemy get here, and if he saw it, he would definitely admonish himself, reminding himself that he should destroy that strange flying thing and leave his opponent on Earth.
And if you think rationally and wisely, you only need to delay the battle now, and wait until the gap left by the hidden world and the present world due to the reversal summoning technique she has cast is gone, and the moonlit night to see the dignity of the Venerable is completely awakened is the easiest solution.
But if you do this, how can you express this joy now?!
The god of destruction, who represents the destructive nature of the forces of nature; The sword god who slashed the dragon and snake and represented the heroic side, every side was laughing wildly and instigating himself to muster the strongest and strongest strength to knock down the opponent!
So the thunder began to gather in the cosmic vacuum contrary to common sense, and there were black cumulonimbus clouds and storms on the moon, and bright silver lightning crawled around in the sky like a group of wild snakes, devouring each other and growing, strengthening themselves, and finally exercising the sword of the incarnation of heavenly might.
The holy spear wielded by Li Wu was still tirelessly advancing downward, shining with an invisible spark in the process of intersecting with the Heavenly Cloud Sword, as if it was about to nail Susanoo into the center of the moon, and it was slowly pressing down the enemy's raised blade with a momentum that pierced through the earth!
The ground around it collapsed for the second and third time, like ripples spreading out from the center, and mosquito-like cracks spread out one by one, each accompanied by a rush of dust and deep ravines.
Just when he was about to break through the parry, Susanoo's counterattack had arrived.
"The clouds obscure the sun; Thunder, through the dragon and snake - my great enemy is here! ”
He once made a big fuss in Takamagahara, so that the sun god also hid in the cave of Teniwado.
Thick clouds ignore common sense in the physical sense and accumulate in the sky to weaken the opponent's second-stage reinforcement.
And it was the incandescent thunder pillar that fell from the sky that attacked.
Without any variegation, the thunder that makes people want to describe it as pure is like a sword blade forged in the sky, mercilessly slashing towards the earth.
The surging lightning shattered the dust, blasting the two wrestling sides apart, and climbing in all directions, eventually leaving a cross-shaped mark on the ground covering the collapsed hollow.
Susanoo, who had managed to pull away from him, retracted his knife into his sheath and leaned down to perform a real killer move.
"Whoever shakes the earth across the eight mountains and valleys, fear the sword in my hand!"
The Heavenly Cloud Sword, which was wrapped in pitch black, was suddenly covered with cracks.
Like a molting snake, the black shell shattered and fell, revealing a clear lake inside.
Legend has it that the sword taken from the body of the slain monster liberated the true essence and unleashed a formless and insubstantial sword light.
I can't see the true face of the slash, but I can only see the earth that is cracked as if the self is coming to an end.
The three-hundred-meter-wide rock formation silently crumbled and turned into powder, and this was already a small aftermath after the attack arrived.
Even Stonehenge, which appeared in response to Li Wu's summons, was cut off and collapsed as if it were self-destructive.
This is a sword technique that hits instantly, so deep slash marks appeared on his body, almost cutting in half from the direction of the cross, and the scars spread from his chest to his empty hands.
Empty ...... Hands?
Despite the heavy blows, his wounds did not ooze blood, but instead worked to heal slowly with the help of the strengthened healing power.
Susanoo, who suddenly realized that something was wrong, saw the other party's mocking expression.
[I'm not a berserker, do I really think that berserk will lose my mind? 】
The Stonehenge was not "like self-destruction", but the other party took the initiative to cancel the summoning and focused the enhanced effect on healing!
And the opportunity in exchange for it goes without saying much -
The red comet that was thrown out flashed away and descended like thunder.
Ascalon silently sank to the surface, and then the crimson ball of light expanded dramatically in a very short time.
With no air, the bowl-shaped flame that clasped upside down on the surface did not send a shockwave, but silently obliterated everything in range.
After the terrible bombardment, the miserable appearance of the god was revealed.
Even if you are a sword god, you will still be hit hard if you are attacked after performing a special kill.
The right half of his body was like charcoal, revealing even the bones of Sen Sen twisted into strange shapes.
And between his ribs is the culprit who caused such injuries.
Blood-colored crosssword spears pierced through his body, struggling and writhing to ignite the flames and burn wounds, but they were stuck in the solid bones and could not be freed for a moment.
Then, the dying god pointed his sword at the heavens.
"O god-killer, what is the supreme steel that annihilates the dragon and snake?"
There are still a few seconds left before the wound is healed.
But the thick pressure had fallen from the sky and was completely directed at Li Wu.
"I will show the strongest sword to show my respect for you!"
Susanoo is a deity with a rather complex composition.
Not to mention the gods such as Yakushi Rulai and Bull Head Heavenly King, who are mixed with him, he also has the theft and fraud of the cultural gods; The slaying of the dragon snake of the hero god; ancestor worship of ancestral gods; The nature worship of the gods of nature and other multiple faces.
As the famous god of the sword, he has the attributes of conquest and assimilation, just like his kind in other myths, which is embodied in mythology as the myth of combining with the god Kunitsu and creating the cloud system.
Conquer mortal steel and assimilate all things into swords-
So, combined with His lines, what is the so-called strongest sword?
The Heavenly Cloud Sword in his hand had disappeared.
In its place, there is a heavenly calamity that is getting closer.
In a sense, it is really the supreme thing that annihilates the dragon snake, the strongest steel from outside the sky, which can be called a reptilian treasure.
Li Wu raised his head and saw the body that had been captured and turned into a [sword].
An asteroid that is falling and turning into a meteorite.
Now that his injuries had healed, Li Wu brushed across the void and drew the returning Kurigara sword.
That's when the hole cards are set off.
The original cyan flame had turned black in this mode, and the black dragon wrapped around the sword seemed to come to life, almost breaking away from the sword.
Because there was no friction with the atmosphere, the cold and hard meteorite maintained a solemnity like black iron and reached the top of the head in an instant, and the Heavenly Cloud Sword inserted into it could be vaguely seen.
The electric light spreads across the surface of the meteorite, dragging a solid flash of color behind it.
When you see it, you can't escape the range; Now there is no way to change the trajectory of killing Susanoo.
Although there was no air, Li Wu still breathed deeply, and only spat out dark red sparks.
- It's just a big stone, watch me push it back with Kurigara!
The sword of wisdom and fire, which turned into a black dragon, let out a roar that struck directly into consciousness.
There is no need to repeat the spirit of words, because the essence of this god has been deeply understood in the battle just now.
The black flame that rose from the ground climbed endlessly, condensing into a cross-shaped flash.
In the face of a massive attack that would draw the battlefield itself into the range of destruction, Li Wu stood firm like a nail pierced into the surface of the moon, wielding the divine sword that slashed through everything.
The meteorite had already released its sword pressure before it arrived, causing a concentric depression on the lunar surface.
Therefore, when the sword pillar with a faint black dragon swimming hit it from the side, the invisible repulsion was detonated in an instant.
The surface of the asteroid is easily blown away and turned into miniature meteor showers across the sky.
The sword god power attached to it was expelled, and for the first time, a real rift appeared in the Celestial Cloud that was facing the Sword of Wisdom and Fire
Then, the seemingly unchangeable track shifted.
As if pushed away by a giant, the visitors outside the heavenly dome were forced to change direction, almost brushing over Li Wu's head and falling into the distant other side.
The earth was soft and undulating like waves, the dust of the sea swept in the distance, and when the smoke cleared, a new crater was born on the surface of the moon.
The next moment, after retracting the Kurigala sword that had dimmed after the limit output, Li Wu had already come to Susanoo's face, raising his right fist wrapped in red anger.
He stepped forward, like a tightly wounded bed crossbow, and unleashed a flat punch as if it was about to burst his spine from behind.
Through the chest, shattering the bones, and finally peeping out from the back of the god.
