Chapter 21 Different Changes; and Long Overdue

 Is it going to end...

Watching the flowers on the other side bloom like a blood-colored carpet, covering every inch of the temple yard in an instant, like the never-ending fire of Naraku burning in the scorched earth of hell, guarding the horse-headed ghost in the center, you can experience this for yourself

Gu Mo felt the shock of facing the powerful Lord of Eternal Darkness at close range, and this thought flashed through his mind.

This is the last part of the Thirteen Sakura Village scene. As long as this horse-headed ghost is eradicated, the Novice Village in the first act of the game will be cleared.

So... I should be able to go back, right?

He subconsciously held his breath and watched as the black-haired girl swiftly swung her sword to meet him. The horse-headed monster, which was comparable to the Minotaur before and was as big as a hill, also hissed and waved the same sword.

The serrated sword, which could rival the Minotaur's hammer and iron bar, swept across fiercely.

There’s nothing fancy about it, it’s just that the attack range is extremely large and the power is extremely fierce——

Although it is not a forty-meter sword, the total length of the serrated sword is at least more than ten meters, which adds up to the height of four or five floors.

Such a serrated broadsword, when held and wielded by a monster of the size of the horse-headed ghost, the sweeping attack it swings is simply unstoppable, sweeping away thousands of troops! Even Hidechiyo does not want to be confronted head-on, because that

It must be very painful...

Gu Mo, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly. The strong wind that hit him was like a knife, cutting his face with pain. Even though he was standing so far away and not getting close at all, he still felt that the serrated knife was there.

It was as if he was sweeping past me, wiping the tip of his nose!

If I had been further forward, I might have been able to cut my body off at the waist if not for the pressure of the air flow!

Amidst the howling wind, he squinted his eyes and vaguely saw the beautiful black hair flying in the strong wind. The girl's figure was as agile as a flying swallow. The horse-headed ghost's sweeping attack not only missed her, but also

When it happened to be swept, she had already jumped up.

While avoiding this powerful and heavy slash, which was powerful enough to crack a mountain and crack a monument, his toes also tapped lightly on the serrated broadsword sweeping across below——

Then he used the force to jump up high, rotate and leap forward, gracefully and fatally draw an arc from the top of the horse-headed ghost's head, and finally landed behind the demon ghost, gently bending his knees to relieve his strength, half-kneeling as if he had no weight.

On the ground, the sword held in the palm of his hand has been sheathed.

Immediately afterwards, as if there was a delay in the picture, a shining and confusing full moon-shaped arc burst out above the horse-headed ghost's forehead. The trajectory of the slash cut through the air, shattered and intertwined... After a short period of time, the picture was frozen, and the horse-headed ghost burst out.

The pair of ghost horns soaring into the sky on the ghost's forehead suddenly shattered into pieces in the chaotic slashing line!

Like the golden yellow of rice ears, a large amount of high-density essence just emerged from the broken ghost horns, and was immediately blown away by the strong wind.

With a wailing sound, the ferocious and resentful Horse-headed Ghost's hooves gave way, and his whole body fell to the ground as heavy as a mountain, with dust flying under the heavy impact.

The bloody light in its crimson eyes was no longer blazing, but dimmed instantly. The serrated sword in its hand was unable to be held, and it fell heavily to the ground, causing the ground around it to shake slightly.

The exact same process, it can be said that there is nothing new——

But it is precisely because of this that we can see how profound the basic skills the girl has developed when killing these monsters. Even when faced with the Lord of Eternal Darkness who ordinary people cannot compete with, she can still bring a distinct effect to the battle.

The taste of streamlined operations.

Gu Mo was slightly amazed in his heart. This crisp and clean fighting method was full of vigorous and resolute meaning. Although it was not the first time he saw it, it still made him feel dazzled.

It is different from the perception of killing ape ghosts and demons with one sword. Although the scenes look very powerful, they are completely different from the huge monsters such as Minotaur and Horse-headed ghosts, which are killed by tiny people in the same way.

The shock and impact it brings when you kill instantly with one blow.

But at the same time as he marveled, in the almost dark world of black and white, a purple light burst out that was not bright and dazzling, but was definitely enough!

Countless phantom-like purple flying blades soared into the sky, like fish schools in the sea swimming rapidly in a dense and huge formation. The mighty, sudden turn in mid-air, countless phantom flying blades rained down.

Fall, and in an instant, the earth will shake and the mountains will collapse!

Smoke and dust rise everywhere, filling the surroundings and blocking sight.

Gu Mo subconsciously took a few steps back, reaching out to shield his face from the wind pressure and the dust brought up, but he still felt that sand almost got into his eyes and he couldn't open his eyes.

When the smoke gradually dissipated, what came into view was a tragic scene. The entire temple courtyard was covered with blood. The huge corpse of the horse-headed ghost was covered with phantoms that seemed to be illusory and purple.

The blade penetrated into a sieve and was completely nailed to the ground, no longer making any sound.

The ground was covered with desolation and corpses were riddled with holes. In the ferocious and shocking blood-colored holes, a surging fountain of hot demon blood splashed out, dyeing the ground of the surrounding courtyards with a strange red color.

!

At first glance, the ocean is as scarlet as blood...

With the death of the horse-headed ghost, the dark world also faded away, but the terrifying blood color replaced the blooming and falling flowers of the other shore flower, and under some kind of terrifying pressure, cold sweat broke out on Gu Mo's forehead.

, he felt a heavier pressure than Chang An just now.

It's like a person is facing the top predator. The pressure from the top of the food chain makes the soul tremble. It has nothing to do with courage and will, but simply because the world is like this - just like a piece of ice will only

It evaporates and melts under high temperature, and the result will not be any different because of the "strong will" and "excellent courage" of this ice cube.

My chest feels tight and I can't breathe. I know exactly what is going on in my mind, and my rationality tells me not to be afraid. However, the nerve cells are constantly producing the emotion of fear under the combined action of instinct and hormones...



Gu Mo panted slightly, his eyes tightly locked on that strange and beautiful figure.

Suspended in mid-air, the toes are about half a meter away from the ground. Her long silver hair is scattered randomly, but there is a sense of elegance and nobility in the mess. Her delicate golden horns shine with the full light of the golden full moon.

, the traces of purple illusory streamers are like flying fireflies...

——Monsterization...

——The form of fantasy...

Gu Mo instantly recognized what it was, and felt frightened at the same time. Axiu still seemed like a monster in the plot. As for whether it was because of the inertia of the plot or some other reason, he really didn't know.

Because the information given in the game is actually very little, and the time span of the plot is also very large. There may be a few years between the two tasks. Therefore, many questions are not explained, at least he is not fully aware of them, so

I still don’t understand what’s going on.

Why did he still turn into a monster? It seems that he was not injured from the beginning to the end, and when he dealt with the horse-headed ghost, he was just as clean and neat as he was with the minotaur before.

Gu Mo's mind was in a mess. He had many guesses, but none of them were certain. And at this moment, he subconsciously did not dare to make any move.

Because, in a quiet atmosphere as if the air had solidified, the monster-shaped figure cast his cold eyes at him. Purple monster lines appeared on her cheeks at some point, and there were also two horns spreading from her head.

The cuticle underneath covers the right half of the face like a natural mask.

Noble, mysterious...

You can also vaguely see the outline of the black-haired girl's face before, so that it won't be completely unrecognizable.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

A few breaths passed like this, but nothing happened. Gu Mo stared at the weird and beautiful figure, frantically forcing himself to calm down. He found that the girl in the monster state seemed to be trying her best to suppress

What——

Although it was suspended motionless in mid-air and stopped moving after killing the horse-headed ghost, its body was still trembling slightly.

Violent...

Chaos...

The restless violent instincts and the kind-hearted rationality are fighting each other in the girl's body. She is trying to regain her own will, but this process is extremely difficult, and she is fighting extremely hard, and she feels that her consciousness is violently

It was swallowed up little by little in the wind and waves.

Let's go, let's go...

Stay away from here...

While you can still barely resist, escape from yourself as soon as possible...

The phantom monster tried its best to suppress the rage that was about to engulf him. His body was trembling but he didn't make any move. He just stared at the person at the door of the courtyard, praying that the other person could understand what he meant or be scared by him.

You have to run away far away.

She really can't hold on any longer and will turn into an irrational evil ghost at any time!

However——

"Hold on, Axiu, I may have a way..."

The person opposite took a deep breath, took out a piece of spiritual stone from his pocket that shone with light golden essence like an ear of rice, gritted his teeth and walked quickly towards her.

I should turn around and run now, without caring about anything, because this scene should be considered a clearance. As long as I return the same way, based on experience, I should be able to leave this scene and return to the community in the real world... I came here with all my clothes.

Experience, level, and loot.

This is a choice that allows you to maximize your benefits. You have already cleared the level. There is really no need to take risks at the end. Anyway, the girl is no longer as useful to him as before, and although she is a bit special to him,

But she doesn’t know herself...

He is a stranger to her, so he has no obligation to do anything...

At this moment, many, many thoughts flashed through Gu Mo's consciousness, and finally they were condensed into one sentence, which kept echoing in his heart.

All levels have been cleared... All levels have been cleared...

He told himself that he should be a little selfish at this time, just clear the dungeon and worry about the flood. It wouldn't affect him anyway, so there was no need to care so much.

But...it can't be done.

He may not be noble, but he has his own bottom line. At least now he doesn't want to become the kind of person he despises. Instead of leaving a knot in his mind that he can't get over afterwards, regretting and torturing his heart all the time, he might as well do it now.

Make informed choices.

This is the thought——

Although my heart was beating crazily, and the terrible and substantial pressure made me almost suffocate and unable to breathe... But I felt that my thoughts were completely enlightened, my heart was peaceful and peaceful, and I felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

Pleasure.

He just resisted the pressure step by step, and walked over as quickly as possible under the icy gaze of the illusory monster. His face was pale but there was no fear.

Arriving in front of that weird and beautiful figure, Gu Mo held the palm-sized spirit stone in his hand and tentatively handed it to Hidechiyo who turned into a monster. In the plot he knew, Tokichiro used the power of the spirit stone to save

Hidechiyo is about to fall into the youkai side.

Spirit stones are useful, but how should they be used?

It should be enough if you get closer, right? But why is there no response?

Gu Mo was so anxious that he decisively focused on pressing the "Use" option of the spirit stone in his hand. The next moment, the spirit stone shattered, and the pure essence seeped into his skin like water in his hand, and seemed to evaporate in the air.

It was just absorbed into it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

My heavy body suddenly became lighter, my physical strength recovered, and my mind felt refreshed...

It has an immediate effect, but I don’t want this effect! Isn’t it just for myself? Damn it, how can I use this thing on others? There is no interactive option for me to choose!

He gritted his teeth tightly and tried to keep his voice calm: "Don't, don't worry, I have two more here, no problem..."

The phantom monster floating off the ground in front of him lowered her head and looked down at him. Her eyes were unusually cold. A terrifying and sharp murderous intention wavered, and the bloodthirsty light kept changing in her eyes, but her body was trembling.

It became more and more powerful, but it didn’t make any move.

Behind this calmness, there are extremely huge waves suppressed!

The second spiritual stone was still in Gu Mo's hand, and there was nothing strange about it. This made him more and more impatient. Could it be that because of his own influence, Hidechiyo in this world is really going to turn into a monster?

?

After all, if it weren't for her own intrusion, when she had swept through the Jusan Sakura Village at her own pace, eliminated the horse-headed ghost, and turned into a monster, Tokichiro should have arrived just in time, right? But now... the monkey hasn't come yet.

.

Thinking of this terrible possibility, Gu Mo clenched the fist of his other hand so hard that his nails were about to bleed.

But at this moment, the suspended phantom monster suddenly fell to the ground, holding his hands on the ground as if he had lost all strength. The purple phantom light flowing on the trembling body gradually faded away, and the long silver hair that fell down once again lost its bright silver color.

, changes back to the original black.

The black-haired girl, who had returned to her original appearance, took a long breath and looked up at him. She just showed a weak smile of relief, and then her head tilted and she fell directly to the ground.

The spirit stone is working...?

Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, but looking at the unresponsive spirit stone in his hand, he immediately denied this possibility. In that case, A Xiu completed this game without any external force and relied entirely on his own will.

Self-help?

He knelt down and lifted the girl's body up. After checking, he found that she had fainted and her breathing was still calm, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, I'm late——"

At this moment, a voice saying hello came from the door behind him.

A middle-aged man with a cunning look on his face appeared there. He was shocked when he saw the hell-like scene with rivers of blood inside. He looked intently and saw a young man half-kneeling over there.

On the ground, he was supporting an unconscious girl.

"You... are you the famous demon slayer?" The man looked a little confused and opened his mouth, "I thought he was alone. Did you guys come here overnight?"

"..."

"..."

"Yes, I...we all came to this village last night."

Glancing at the unconscious black-haired girl, Gu Mo was silent for a moment, twitching the corners of his mouth, and replied thoughtfully.
