‘It's really hot.’
He ran, dodging the heat waves.
At this moment, the hot wind blowing from all directions could scorch his lungs just by inhaling it.
Fortunately, Hyakukai summoned the Water General from the Five Vajra Generals.
Because he is a general who controls the element of water, he can gain temporary protection against the high temperature.
Plus, wearing the armor transformed from Magatsu-Maru, he can move briefly in this environment—but this always has a limit.
“Besides, even I have a way to deal with this guy.”
Hyakukai raised the tip of his spear, and a burst of light arrows bombarded the Great Centipede's crimson shell.
This comes from Magatsu-Maru's amplification.
The fierce Lord Scorpion Demon King is a powerful demon king known as the Scorpion Demon, and its toxicity is the best among poisonous creatures.
The armor that Hyakukai is now wearing, formed by the condensed energy of ghosts and gods, grants him strong resistance to poison.
‘However, even if I can ignore the poison mist, I can't withstand the flames, explosions, and shock waves, as well as the suffocating circle formed by the burning air...’
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the next instant, the centipede exhaled a purple mist.
Whoosh—
Hyakukai didn't have time to react, and the poisonous gas quickly expanded, engulfing his figure like a thick fog.
On the other side, at the same time as it spewed out the poisonous mist, the centipede launched a secondary attack, with sparks scattering from its mouth.
Boom!
The flames, upon contacting the mist outside, exploded, creating a chain reaction of explosions with the surrounding poisonous mist.
This is the centipede's tail's two-stage coordinated attack: first spewing out poison mist, then spitting out flames.
The chemical-like explosive reaction between the two is enough to bury the enemy in the depths of the sea of fire.
However, at the same time as this two-stage attack occurred, a thought of joy flashed through someone's mind.
Good opportunity!
With a swoosh, a comet-like thrust fell from the sky.
Light descended like a crown!
Boom!
Hyakukai himself was the one descending from the sky.
He used the ability of "Shukuchi" to teleport to a high altitude before the explosion occurred, aimed, and thrust his spear downwards.
This spear locked onto the target, and the tip of the spear pierced into the centipede's head, penetrating all the way to the position of its big mouth, forcibly sealing the centipede's mouth.
The centipede also couldn't open its mouth and struggled painfully, but was unable to make a sound, its whole body convulsing violently, and its huge head rolling around.
His attack contained the extremely poisonous power of "Ghost God Qi", and after attacking the centipede's body, it also began to corrode the monster.
“A monster's regenerative power will suffer a great loss when it encounters the poison of ghosts and gods.”
Hyakukai was also blown away.
The seven-section spear, stained with black blood, suddenly split into seven sections and was pulled back like a soft whip.
He also switched the power of the Qi General in an instant, making his body as light as a feather.
Hyakukai moved again in mid-air as if stepping on the air.
This allowed him to move directly in front of the fox girl in the next second.
“Fool, planning to ambush me in the chaos?”
The fox girl, Tsukishiro Kaoru, didn't care and waved the folding fan in her hand.
In an instant, the surrounding atmosphere began to rotate, and a strong airflow surged, forming countless wind blade attacks.
She herself is not good at fighting.
As a half-demon fox, her strength lies in mastering magic and transformation abilities.
This makes Tsukishiro Kaoru very suitable for lurking, concealing, or disguising missions, but this does not mean that she has no fighting ability.
“Cursed Ball Hungry Demon Ghost”, “Tail Cleaving Technique”, and the skill of converting demon energy and spiritual energy—any of these is enough for her to maintain an undefeated situation on the battlefield.
But this time, the fox girl Tsukishiro Kaoru clearly miscalculated.
She underestimated the enemy she encountered too much.
Pride, arrogance... these are often the causes of defeat for those who consider themselves strong.
Buzz…!
Hyakukai shook his spear, using the spearmanship taught by the Spear Saint to draw countless "circles", resisting the storm of chaotic blades in front of him.
At the same time as his spear tip was deflecting the incoming wind blades, he silently thrust out another spear.
This spear pierced halfway, and the spearhead disappeared, but blood spurted out from the fox girl's chest.
“What?”
Seeing the attack that pierced her heart, Tsukishiro Kaoru's face turned pale.
“What, what kind of attack is this…”
She didn't feel when the attack happened at all, or when it ended—the spear blade had already pierced a bloody hole in her chest.
In the next instant, her knees were torn and pierced, but she couldn't sense when the attack came from—
“Bastard!”
If this were a human, it would be a fatal wound, but she is a half-demon.
The paper fan drew a trajectory, and a slash came through the air.
Hyakukai quickly squatted down, avoiding the slash that swept over his head.
Whoosh!
In the sharp hiss, his spear tip pierced into the void, and this time, the sharp spear tip pierced through Tsukishiro Kaoru's right hand.
With her right hand pierced, the paper fan also fell to the ground.
“Shukuchi?”
The fox girl had never seen this kind of application of Shukuchi magic.
This is to transmit part of the spear through space folding—this creates a way of attacking that is invisible to the naked eye.
That’s right.
This is the "technique" that even the experienced Kurohimeyama Mitsukado was surprised by.
It is also a kind of magic, or rather a battle method, that Hyakukai developed when subduing the "Five Vajra Generals".
With the Shukuchi talisman and the blessing of the "Void General" who controls space among the Five Vajra Generals, Hyakukai can transmit matter more flexibly.
He himself has also considered whether he can transmit other substances besides his main body.
If he could, it would become a terrifying technique.
‘In theory, as long as it is a visible area, I can transmit the spear blade that has been stabbed in, and use teleportation-like speed to stab into the enemy's body, or launch an attack from a blind spot.’
However, there are also limits.
In addition to being more spiritual power-consuming to use this move, there are also distance limitations.
It is useless if it is too far away.
On the other hand, once the enemy sees through this trick, those powerful experts will always find a way to deal with it.
He calls it "Void Piercing Spear", which is a self-created spear technique that is enough to travel through the void and defeat the enemy with lightning speed.
Hyakukai believes that this should be his trump card.
Trump cards are only suitable for use at the most appropriate time.
—‘Now is the most appropriate opportunity.’
Hyakukai aimed at the fox girl and launched another attack.
However, Tsukishiro Kaoru also understood the principle of this attack in an instant.
She quickly made a judgment and cast a physical barrier, which is similar to setting up a protective shield around herself, forming an independent barrier space.
However, just before the barrier was formed, the spear attacked, like a black lightning bolt, piercing her throat.
“Too slow.”
Hyakukai snorted coldly, severing her hope in a flash of lightning.
