City vs. City (Right now, I just want to curl up)
As the sword light crossed, the Butterfly Sisters seized the mont when the man targeted Duanmu Huai and launched a surprise attack.
Yet, even so, the smile on the man’s face did not fade.
"Hoo hoo hoo........"
A cold vortex condensed once again at the man’s side, transforming into several small figures appearing in front of the two won.
"Huh?"
Seeing the small figures made of ice appear before them, Butterfly Ren was stunned, and just at that mont, Chiaki’s voice rang in her ear.
"Get out of the way!"
Almost instinctively, Butterfly Ren desperately turned her body at the last mont of swinging down her sword. Simultaneously, the small figure that looked only the size of a puppet suddenly swung its hands, a burst of icy wind roaring past Butterfly Ren’s body. The bone-chilling cold caused Butterfly Ren’s body to stiffen suddenly, and at this mont, she saw the man’s bizarre smiling face appear before her.
And at this mont, Butterfly Ren had no way to dodge again. So she gripped her weapon tightly, aiming at the man’s head!
Insect Breath, Bee Tooth Dance, True Stab!
Accompanied by the sword light that was completely impossible to react to, Butterfly Ren’s sword pierced the man’s eye, penetrating his head. For humans, this is an irreparable fatal wound. But for the demon, it didn’t matter at all. Not only did the man not feel pain, his smile didn’t change at all, he continued to extend his hand toward Butterfly Ren!
"Little Ren!"
Seeing this, Chiaki hurriedly tried to intervene, but soone was faster!
"Bang!!"
The giant Buddha statue ford by condensed ice exploded. The solid ice pellets shot out in all directions like bullets. Even Chiaki had to abandon her original plan and retreat to block. Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai leapt out from the debris of the exploding Buddha statue, dashing straight towards the man in front of him!
"Tch."
Looking at the approaching Duanmu Huai, the man snorted coldly, then kicked Butterfly Ren, sending her flying, before quickly retreating himself. In the mont right before Duanmu Huai’s strike was about to hit him...
"Deng!"
Along with the light sound of the shamisen, a wooden door suddenly appeared behind the man, swallowing him and then closing again. Duanmu Huai, unable to stop his montum, collided headlong with the wooden door.
"Boom!"
The wooden door shattered upon impact, but the man had already disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it, what’s going on here?"
Duanmu Huai stood up, scanning around, while Chiaki and Ren also hurried forward.
"That’s their Blood Ghost Technique! There’s a demon able to manipulate space here. If we don’t defeat it, we’ll just be spinning around aimlessly here."
"Ah, I hate labyrinths the most."
Upon hearing Chiaki’s explanation, Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth. He hated those damned, endless labyrinths the most. Damn it, among the four little vendors, he hated that damned blue birdman the most. Wisdom Blue or whatever, he hated it! Labyrinth? Screw labyrinths! Can’t I just smash through the walls and walk in a straight line? Why must I go through the labyrinth?!
Jigsaw puzzles, labyrinths, grid walking, anything that requires thinking, Duanmu Huai dislikes them!
That’s why he never plays those damned escape room adventure gas! The ones where you strike matches to open toys, then find a crowbar in the toy, then use the crowbar to open a box and get lubricant to open a drawer, and then........
Damn it! Why can’t I just smash the door?!
I have nails, a hamr, a saw, a crowbar, so why do I still need a key?
"Pfft!"
Duanmu Huai inserted his sword into the ground, grasping it tightly with both hands, closing his eyes.
"Miss Duanmu?"
"Don’t bother !"
Duanmu Huai angrily shouted coldly, keeping his eyes tightly shut.
To break through this labyrinth, it’s impossible to rely on himself. Perhaps Lani, Mary, Frieren, Alice Phil, and dea as magicians could do it, but he couldn’t. Because Duanmu Huai really wasn’t good at magic — especially theoretical knowledge, to put it simply, it’s like higher mathematics.
Can’t do it, just can’t.
Can never do it.
However, he thought of another way.
It was a thod that Alice Phil and dea had once told him.
The original body can do it, so the clone should be able to too.
Duanmu Huai closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.
He could feel the blood and death aura surging on the sword blade. The souls of those demons he previously slew were bound by this sword, howling, screaming, enduring eternal pain. Their screams and pleas for rcy transmitted through the sword hilt into Duanmu Huai’s ears.
To this, Duanmu Huai only felt......great pleasure.
Indeed, those vile aliens struggling in endless suffering and tornt were truly a delightful and marvelous sight.
That kind of complete overpowering by strength, the ugly twisting, pleading appearance was truly pleasing.
The pleading of the weak is aningless because that is as expected.
But the pleading of the strong is different.
They once thought themselves strong, believing they stood above humans.
Aliens, heretics, demons, they are all the sa.
Because they are powerful, they do whatever they want to humans.
But... what happens when this power is crushed?!
Their reactions will be more pleasing than those born weak!
That’s right, though there are many forms of pleasure, like the applause at the end of a performance, the joy of intimacy with won, and standing with companions, but... for Duanmu Huai...
Ultimately, what makes him happiest is defeating and trampling those who think they are strong!
What kind of sound will they make when they are defeated by him?
What expression will they show when he breaks their arms?
What will they feel knowing they will be forever struggling in pain?
Just the thought of it makes Duanmu Huai’s blood boil, exciting him beyond asure, wanting to kill at once!
Indeed, a man should do what a man must do!
At this mont, the boiling blood in Duanmu Huai’s body reached its peak.
Then.........
Magic Circuit, activate.
"-----------------"
At this mont, Chiaki and Ren were surprised to see Duanmu Huai standing there, hand on the sword’s hilt, open his eyes. Imdiately, a fla erupted from the sword embedded in the ground, turning into a sea of fire rushing towards them!
"Whoa---!"
The two hurriedly raised their hands to block in front, but to their surprise, they didn’t feel the touch of the wind or the scorching flas, as if what they saw was just an illusion.
What happened?
Thinking of this, the two looked up, puzzled, and then widened their eyes in shock.
The endless corridors and rooms that were visible before had completely disappeared. In their place was a huge tal platform, surrounded by towering church spires and walls. Around them was an endless Star Ocean, like a huge curtain wrapping the whole world.
"What happened?"
"Where is this place?"
It was then that the Butterfly Sisters noticed that the other companions, who had been scattered, were now in front of them, and on the opposite side, an equally nurous army of evil spirits stared intently at them. In addition to the Nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Team that Duanmu Huai had seen before, there were hundreds of soldiers in the team’s uniforms. Obviously, the Butterfly Sisters were not the only ones trapped here.
It seems that, if not mistaken, the whole combat power of the Demon Slayer Team is here.
I see.
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai sneered. Chiaki had previously told him that the leader of the Demon Slayer Team, knowing his days were numbered, baited the evil spirit BOSS nad Wu Can to co, then set a trap to severely injure it. However, when the Nine Pillars gathered to launch an attack on Wu Can, a trap was also sprung by the opponent, sending them into this Infinite City.
In other words, the Demon Slayer Team tried to wipe out the evil spirits once and for all. The evil spirits, in turn, also tried to completely eliminate the Demon Slayer Team once and for all.
Both used their ho as bait, so this Infinite City should be the lair of the evil spirits.
As the strategist said, ancient wisdom does not deceive .
"Anyway, this is a good thing for us!"
A Blind Monk with a teor Hamr strode to the front, staring at the hundreds of evil spirits opposite, and the several Upright Ghosts standing behind them, behind which was a huge, squirming mass of flesh!
Compared to the previous scenario of fighting separately, such a wave suits them better!
"Everyone ready, form up!"
With the Blind Monk’s loud roar, all the Demon Slayer Team mbers quickly lifted their swords, staring ahead. anwhile, the army of evil spirits on the other side also let out angry roars, like a pack of starving beasts eager to pounce and tear the humans into pieces!
"Attack!!"
The Blind Monk charged forward, followed by the Nine Pillars, and then the other team mbers also roared with rage, charging with swords in hand!
"Roar--------!"
At the sa ti, the evil spirits on the other side, like caged beasts released, transford into a torrent rushing towards the Demon Slayer Team!
Then, with no hesitation, both sides crashed into each other!
At the forefront, naturally, were the Nine Pillars!
They swung their weapons, dealing Critical Hits to all the evil spirits in their way.
However.......
"Miss Duanmu, let’s keep moving!"
Chiaki stayed close to Duanmu Huai, slashing the surrounding evil spirits and charging forward.
"That egg is Wu Can! He was injured by the Lord’s self-explosion and was poisoned. Now he is recovering; we must eliminate him completely before he wakes up!"
"Understood."
Duanmu Huai dashed forward, slicing several evil spirits blocking the way in half.
"I’ll leave Wu Can to you, those Upright Ghosts are mine to handle!"
