Chapter 742 Rush to the sky! Use the lightning strike method! 【5200】

Familiar human voices, and... system sounds that I have never heard before.

This is...the realm of transparency...?

The "transparent world" that had been seen many times before suddenly spread out in front of me, as well as the words of "Ogata Issei" that just sounded in my mind and the system sound that stated the content that I had never heard before, I was overjoyed.

The astonished Ogata forgot all the pain and fatigue in his body for a moment.

(Ogata Issei...are you willing to believe me?)

In my mind, the voice of "Ogata Yoshi" sounded again.

(If you want to believe me...please close your eyes.)

(Quietly...listen and follow the call and guidance of the "voice".)

etc……!

Ogata mentally stopped the "Ogata Ishi" that suddenly appeared in his mind, and then asked loudly the question that had been lingering in his mind since the appearance of this "unknown existence".

What exactly are you?

(...One is the whole, and the whole is one.)

Ogata heard "Ogata Issei" whisper in a smiling tone.

(I am you.)

(I am also the world.)

In the end, the voice of "Ogata Yoshi" suddenly stopped in Ogata's mind. No matter how Ogata shouted in his heart, he never saw it reappear.

The demon yelled wildly, interrupting Ogata's thoughts at this moment:

"Since you can still stand up... let us continue! I want to see how many times you can stand up!"

Toyotomi, with rage reignited in his cheeks, accelerated his approach towards Ogata! The tip of Yoshimitsu's sword dragged on the deck, making a series of piercing screams.

When Ogata saw this, his eyes were fixed.

"The... call of the 'voice'...?"

He softly repeated the meaningless words "Ogata Issei" just said.

The track of the wind and rain, the movement of every muscle on Toyotomi's body... everything in his eyes seemed transparent, and everything was invisible in Ogata's eyes.

Compared with the world he saw when he entered the "transparent realm" before, the world in Ogata's eyes now has only... one difference!

Since just now, he has been vaguely hearing that above his head... to be precise, above the clouds above his head, there seems to be some "voice" coming faintly.

Ogata slowly raised his head

Boom boom boom!!

When Ogata just raised his head, a bolt of thunder appeared above Ogata's head as if responding to Ogata's gaze, splitting the clouds, and then shattered into millions of pieces.

The shattered thunder light illuminated Ogata's pupils!

Toyotomi, who was rushing towards Ogata, saw a scene that uncontrollably showed surprise on his face.

After standing up, Ogata, who had been standing still, suddenly slowly closed his eyes, then turned around and ran away with the knife in hand.

Looking at Ogata who suddenly turned around and ran away, Toyotomi shouted in a tone of confusion and ridicule:

"Hey! Ogata Ittosai! Where are you going?!"

On the wreckage of the ship that was about to sink, a pursuit battle suddenly appeared.

Ogata fled and Toyotomi chased him.

Their bodies were already in tatters, and their speeds were almost the same. Toyotomi was unable to catch up with Ogata for a while.

Ogata suddenly closed his eyes, turned around and ran away, running straight towards... the main mast not far away that was pointing diagonally towards the sky at an angle of about 60 degrees.

The huge Nikki Maru was blown into two pieces by the huge explosion just now, but the main mast miraculously remained intact.

The "surviving" main mast happened to be on the shipwreck where Ogata and Toyotomi had their final battle.

Although the main mast was not destroyed by the huge explosion just now, because the shipwreck is now sinking, the main mast is also sinking into the sea little by little.

Ogata was running towards the main mast. When he was still a few steps away from the main mast, he suddenly jumped onto the shaft of the main mast.

Immediately afterwards, Ogata was seen pressing the center of his body, clinging to the shaft, and running towards the top of the main mast!

What is he going to do?!

Seeing Ogata doing some incomprehensible actions since just now, Toyotomi frowned uncontrollably.

For some reason, looking at Ogata who suddenly jumped onto the main mast, Toyotomi felt a strong ominous premonition lingering in his heart.

Driven by this ominous premonition, Toyotomi did not jump onto the main mast with Ogata, but stopped under the main mast, stood upright, and looked up at Ogata who was heading towards the top of the mast.

The top of the more than 40-meter-long main mast pointing diagonally toward the sky is nearly 30 meters above the sea.

From Toyotomi's perspective, he could look directly at Ogata's back.

Boom boom boom!!

At this time, another bolt of lightning shattered above Ogata's head. Looking at Ogata's figure illuminated by the lightning and getting further and further away from him, Toyotomi's eyes widened slightly in shock.

He could only see Ogata's figure running towards the top of the pole pointing towards the sky with indomitable momentum... It really seemed like he was about to reach the sky!

The pole is more than 40 meters long, allowing Ogata to fly across it in just a blink of an eye.

After stepping onto the top of the main mast, Ogata's movements... didn't pause at all!

I saw him using the momentum of his forward motion, using the top of the pole as a foothold, leaping towards the clouds above his head and towards the sky!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!

Another bolt of thunder exploded above Ogata's head!

However, this time the thunder did not just pass through the clouds, but then quickly shattered.

Instead, it strikes Ogata from top to bottom as if it were conscious!

The silver-white lightning struck Ogata, who jumped into the sky along the top of the pole, but did not dissipate.

Instead, it was wrapped around the sword in Ogata's right hand!

The lightning flashes! The arc flashes!

Under the mast, Toyotomi seemed to be in a daze, staring blankly at Ogata holding the "Thunder Sword" in the sky.

It was very similar to this scene where lightning wrapped around a person's sword as if it had its own consciousness. He happened to have just seen it during the battle with Genichi before!

Because the scene in front of him was so shocking that Toyotomi's brain fell into a brief blank, so it was only now that Toyotomi finally came to his senses. Ogata, who was holding the "Thunder Sword", was now falling towards him!

After Ogata fell toward him, Toyotomi clearly saw that Ogata, who was hit directly by the thunder, did not see any damage to his body, and there was not even a trace of scorch on his clothes.

If it weren't for the arc of the "Thunder Sword" in Ogata's hand that was constantly pulsing, Toyotomi couldn't help but wonder for a moment whether he was dreaming just now.

Ogata's eyes, which had been closed just now, suddenly opened at this moment.

Under the eyelids, there are still those eyes that have not changed, as if there are flames burning inside!

Ogata followed the instructions of "Ogata Yishi" and closed his eyes just now.

The moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard the strange "voices" disappear from the clouds and then appear behind him.

Ogata knew clearly in his heart: With his body now on the verge of reaching its limit, he might no longer be able to defeat Toyotomi by himself.

So he decided to believe in "Ogata Ishi"! Believe in this "voice"!

Having decided to believe in "Ogata's potential", he followed the guidance of the "voice" and turned around to escape, stepped onto the main mast, jumped into the sky, and accepted the thunder and lightning!

What exactly is this "sound"? Why can this thunder and lightning wrap around his sword as if it were conscious? Why can't his body do anything after the thunder and lightning hits him... Too many questions, overflowing with thoughts

mind.

At this time, Ogata only knew that the next blow was not only the last blow he could make to Toyotomi, but also the blow that would determine the outcome of him and Toyotomi, and the future of the world!

Ogata, with determination burning in his eyes, called out the system in his heart.

Shuiluo and Luck are each increased by 1 level!

[Ding! Spend 4 skill points, and Sakakibara Itto-ryu Suiluo is promoted to a "master level" skill]

[Currently remaining skill points: 3 points]

[Ding! Spend 2 skill points, and the Iga-ryu Forbidden Technique and Luck will be upgraded to an "advanced" skill]

[Currently remaining skill points: 1 point]

This is the last effort Ogata can make for the next blow, and it is also the last resort he can use in this unprecedented decisive battle!

Ogata, who was riding the strong wind and falling continuously, held the sword with both hands, slowly raised the "Thunder Sword" above his head, assumed a "water fall" posture, and began to use his luck to accumulate power, squeezing out all the remaining strength in his body.

And focus on the right arm!

When Shuiluo first traveled to this strange era, Ogata was the most skilled move.

And now, he is going to use this move that is of extraordinary significance to him to launch the final blow against the evil spirit in front of him!

Toyotomi, who finally came to his senses until this moment, no longer had the mad smile on his face.

There was only solemnity and panic on his face.

Ogata fell too fast, and his body was so damaged that he was unable to dodge!

In the end, he could only grit his teeth, put the sword in his palm horizontally in front of him, and then watched helplessly as Ogata, who was getting closer and closer, raised the "Thunder Sword" high!

He watched helplessly as the light of the "Thunder Sword" in Ogata's hand... wrapped around his body!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!!

Exploded by lightning!

The exploding thunder cut off the strong wind and dispersed the rain curtain, as if it shattered the surrounding space! The dazzling thunder light enveloped Ogata and Toyotomi!

Obviously this thunder light is only fleeting, but the roar of thunder seems to be solidified between heaven and earth, in the wreckage of the ship's hull, on the vast sea, and under the sky for a long time!

The thunder light gradually dissipated, and the strong wind and rain curtain that had been cut off and dispersed were reconnected, making the space return to peace.

Under the dissipated thunder light, Ogata maintained his sword-drawing posture and fell steadily back to the deck of the shipwreck.

The clothing on his right arm has disappeared.

There weren't even any scraps left, it was torn apart by the thunder that just exploded and "evaporated".

The Daishetian in Ogata's right palm and the skin of his entire right arm turned as black as coal.

There was even a faint trace of heat, and heat waves steamed out from his right arm.

And behind him is a piece of... human-shaped "charcoal".

This human-shaped piece of "coke" is none other than Toyotomi.

At this time, he was lying on his back.

Every piece of skin on his body from head to toe was now burned into strange "charcoal".

Needless to say, clothes and other items have been turned into countless scraps.

The face was also carbonized, making it impossible to distinguish its facial features.

Even if someone who knew Toyotomi best came here now, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize that this piece of "coke" was Toyotomi Nobhide.

His right hand is still holding the Jiguang bone food.

Under the lightning strike just now, there was no way that Yoshimitsu Koushi could have survived.

The Yoshimitsu Koshoku held in Toyotomi's right palm only had a hilt left.

The blade has been broken into countless pieces and scattered everywhere.

Ogata stood up slowly, turned his head, and looked at the charred Toyotomi behind him expressionlessly.

"Cough, cough cough..."

When Ogata glanced at "Coke", "Coke"'s chest suddenly rose and fell in small increments.

Immediately afterwards, faint breathing and a low cough came out from where the mouth used to be.

"Ogata...Ittosai..."

The part of "Charcoal"'s cheek suddenly lit up with two slightly turbid white lights. It turned out that Toyotomi slowly opened his eyes.

Toyotomi raised his eyelids hard, pulled his eyes back, and cast his turbid eyes on Ogata, who was looking at him expressionlessly.

"Haha...hahahahahaha..."

Ogata saw the corners of Toyotomi's mouth turning up slightly.

At this moment, some strands of flesh can be seen emerging from every corner of Toyotomi's body, trying to repair this broken body.

However, these shreds of meat seemed to be powerless against the body that had been roasted into charcoal by the thunder.

I could see them twisting there, but I couldn't see them making Toyotomi's body recover even a little bit.

"It's really...yours..."

"Hahahaha... even the... thunder from the sky... can be used by you..."

Ogata ignored Toyotomi's praise.

"...You finally...fell." He said, "If you think about it carefully, it seems that we were already fighting each other a long time ago."

"Whether you are in Butterfly Island, Kyoto, Edo, or Osaka, you can always meet the Toyotomi clan."

"Even in Ezo, you can see the firearms you gave to the Red Moon Fortress for unknown reasons, as well as the pirates who were favored by you."

"Huh ha ha ha... Red Moon Fortress... I really miss it..." Toyotomi laughed so hard that his shoulders were shaking, shaking off a lot of burnt black powder, "Although... a long time has passed... but

I still remember... that fortress Ezo..."

"Humph hahahaha... I know that the Edo shogunate... will not tolerate... the presence of such a... force in Ezo land... sooner or later they will take action against the Ezo people in this fortress..."

"So I gave them a batch of...firearms...for almost free...and taught them...how to use..."

"The purpose is... to allow them to shed as much blood as possible... when a war breaks out with the Edo shogunate in the future..."

"But... some people in the fortress... thought I was a good person... and gave them so many... powerful weapons..."

"Huh hahahaha... Barbarians are indeed barbarians... they are just barbarians..."

"Yeah...I remembered..."

"When I learned that you defeated the shogunate's army in... Ezo Land... I even... praised you in front of my subordinates... I praised you for helping us greatly weaken the strength of the shogunate... hahahaha

Ha ha……!"

"Toyotomi and Tokugawa... have become... the defeated generals of a ronin... hahahahaha...! Your sword... can be considered genuine... the most unparalleled sword in the world..."

"I...can't help but become curious..."

"Is there any chance in the future... that there will be another swordsman... who can surpass you...?"

"Even if it appears... you won't have the chance to see it again." Ogata said calmly.

After saying that, he raised his right arm and Da Shitian, both of which had turned into burnt black, above his head again.

"Toyotomi Nobuhide, please put an end to this... long struggle for us."

"Hmm hahahahaha..."

Toyotomi... smiled again.

"There is no chance to see a swordsman who has surpassed you appear again, and there is no chance to see the world become more interesting..."

"What a pity...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Toyotomi, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly raised his right arm and stabbed Ogata's leg with the Yoshimitsu Kushoku that only had a hilt left in his right hand!

The body that had been roasted into charcoal and the sword that had no edge naturally couldn't inflict any more wounds on Ogata, and it couldn't even break Ogata's skin.

However... after Toyotomi waved the handle of the knife and "cut" Nakaogata's leg, he saw him letting out a low laugh.

"Huh ha ha ha ha ha..."

Even though his body was in this state, Ogata could still see Toyotomi's cheeks, and there was another hint of... a maniacal smile.

"Ah... I hit you again..." Toyotomi laughed so much that a lot of black debris shook off his body.

Buzz!

The Great Release Heaven swung down heavily.

The head with a smile that never seemed to fade rolled down.

call……

At this time, a breeze came.

A piece of cloth slowly fell from the clouds as the breeze blew.

It was the haori embroidered with "Taiko Kiriha" that Toyotomi had just torn apart and thrown away.

I saw this feather fabric embroidered with "Taiko Paulownia" fluttering leisurely in the breeze. In just a moment, it fell back to the broken shipwreck.

Something that fell into...the shipwreck was still burning on the flames.

In just a blink of an eye, the ferocious tongues of fire wrapped and licked the falling "Taiko Tung Leaf". In just a blink of an eye, the fire waves tightly wrapped the "Taige Tung Leaf".

Swallowed by the waves of fire, the "Taiko Tung Leaf" slowly became smaller and finally turned into a handful of tiny ashes, which were blown away by the breeze and fell into the ink-like sea water.

No trace was seen again.

*******

*******

For a madman like Toyotomi Nobuhide, what kind of ending should be given to him?

Talking rubbish wildly? Saying "I'm still a hero after 18 years"? Showing resilience like Yoshihisa?

The author thought about it and finally found that it was the most suitable ending for this madman to make him laugh, deliver the final blow to Ogata, and say with a smile, "Ah... I hit you again...".

【!!!Major Announcement!!!】

The author has decided! The new book will be released on April 18th (Monday)!

In other words, there is a countdown of 2 days until the release of the new book!

I feel so excited and so lonely... I finally have to say goodbye to everyone with this book.

At that time, please everyone must continue to support this "Samurai Series" (Leopard Head Cries.jpg)

In order to celebrate the upcoming release of the new book, the author will give you some information about the new book.

If this "Swordsman" is mainly based on "Jianghu", the next work will be based on "towns" and "officials".

The new legend will be an ordinary grassroots police officer from the Edo Kita Town Office.
