Chapter 109: Shiranui: Retreat Behind the Master
The sea was dark, the stars were dim, and the dark clouds covered the light of the moon in the sky.
Is that the great monster Umibozu?
Yumeko Kazama was so shocked that she stood up from the beach, patted the sand off her butt, her eyes full of horror.
In the distant sky covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and black fog and mist, a pair of huge red eyes were revealed.
The red pupil light, even from a distance, gives people a terrifying and frightening aura.
It might scare a child into crying in the middle of the night.
"Its strength has become stronger again."
Shiranui, hiding in Yumeko Kazama's shadow, uttered a helpless whisper.
Her current condition is far from being able to recover to her prime, and facing the more powerful Umibozu, she has no chance of winning at all.
But that doesn't mean she will definitely lose tonight.
Maybe a miracle will happen tonight.
"Master Shiranui, I will definitely protect you!"
Despite her nervousness, Yumeko Kazama still tried to straighten her thin body and stand in front of Shiranui.
"Um, Lord Shiranui, can you please get up from the ground and float on my shoulders?"
Yumeko Kazama saw the sea water beginning to spread and gradually approach the beach, and was afraid that the bright red flame would be extinguished by the sea water.
"can."
Shiranui responded, and a bright red flame floated up and hovered over Yumeko Kazama's right shoulder.
It was strange that even though the distance was so close, Yumeko Kazama did not feel the scorching temperature, but instead had a very comfortable feeling.
It seems that such a ball of flame should become one with oneself.
"Then let's leave here quickly and come back to settle the score with it later."
Yumeko Kazama turned around and was about to leave, but she was not that kind of stupid fool.
If you can't win, just run away. It's not something shameful.
As for Umibozu, he is so ugly, what's so good about him?
"The great monster Kaibouzu."
Pinggong Qianye stood there and watched very seriously.
Estimating the distance, Umibozu was about 5 kilometers away from them.
At this distance, it is too difficult to deal with it with ordinary means.
This is more difficult to deal with than the monsters flying in the sky. It's a bit difficult to handle.
"Hey, aren't you leaving yet?"
After walking a few meters away, Fengjian Yumeko turned around and saw Pinggong Qianye still standing there. She asked anxiously, "Didn't you see that the huge wave was about to flood over us?"
"That sea water can't drown me."
Pinggong Chiye answered calmly, still standing there, thinking about how to deal with Kaibouzu.
The distance is 5 kilometers. By the time he swims over, Umibozu would have already run away, right?
Judging from its cautious appearance as it still hides in the depths of the black fog, it should be the timid and cautious type.
Instead of relying on his own powerful demonic power, he rushed towards the land from the sea with great momentum.
Haha, this monster really has no youthful energy at all.
If only there was a big ship that could ride the wind and waves now.
Unfortunately, Japan cannot build an aircraft carrier with its national strength.
Otherwise, it would be quite interesting to see an aircraft carrier attacking Kaibouzu.
"Now is not the time for you to show off!"
After walking a distance back, Yumeko Kazama came to the steps and saw Chiye Hiramiya still standing stupidly on the beach.
He pursed his lips, trotted over, grabbed Pinggong Qianye's sleeve, and tried to drag him away.
"I'm doing this for Miss Horii's sake."
Yumeko Kazama pulled hard and found that Chiye Hiramiya was not moved at all and still stood there.
"You are really not afraid of death!"
Yumeko Kazama tried to pull with all her strength, but found that she couldn't do it, so she could only sulk by herself.
Shiranui, who was floating on Yumeko Kazama's shoulder, never spoke, as if she was thinking about something seriously.
"Oops!"
"The speed of the huge wave suddenly increased!"
"It's over, it's over, if you don't leave now you will die."
Yumeko Kazama, who had been nervously observing the sea surface, was horrified to find that the waves were coming several times faster than before.
The place where they were standing at the moment was already up to their ankles in the sea water, and it was still rising.
"If you don't leave now, I will not care about you anymore!"
Yumeko Kazama gave a final admonition, but seeing that Hiramiya Chiye remained indifferent, she no longer cared about him.
She also needs to protect Lord Shiranui, and nothing can happen here.
Without hesitation, he quickly ran to the high place behind the stairs. As soon as he finished running down the stone steps, he heard the roar of huge waves from the sea.
Yumeko Kazama subconsciously looked back and saw that the huge wave was about 5 meters high.
No!
It's not safe here either!
When Yumeko Kazama was about to continue retreating, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the huge wave on the sea, which seemed to turn into a water dragon and leap over the beach!
Before she could look further, the sea water suddenly rushed in from behind, wrapped around her body, and dragged her into the sea.
The force is so great that it seems that it is not simply the power of the sea water, but some kind of conscious creature is manipulating the sea water!
Yumeko Kazama clearly felt her body being wrapped by the sea water, as if hooks had grown on her body, pulling her from the high ground to the beach in an instant.
The whole person spun around in the air several times.
Seeing that her body was about to be swept into the sea by the water, flames burst out on her shoulders and the surrounding sea water was temporarily dispersed.
"Thank you, Shiranui-sama."
Yumeko Kazama fell to the ground in shock and found herself still surrounded by sea water.
The cold sea water had risen to her lower abdomen and to the knees of Pinggong Chiye beside her.
"I don't know fire..."
There seemed to be a soft murmur coming from the sea water.
Then, a huge wave as high as 10 meters arose on the sea.
Like a sea giant riding the waves.
A huge wave surged along the sea water and stopped about 3 meters in front of Yumeko Kazama and Chiya Hiramiya.
The three-story-high waves looked down at the bright red flame on Yumeko Kazama's shoulder. The surrounding sea water was rising at a slow speed.
"Umibozu, do you think you can deal with me with just this water clone?"
Shiranui sneered disdainfully.
"Are you now worthy of my coming here in person?"
A sound like the roar of the Arctic Ocean came from the huge waves.
Even the raging sea cannot conceal its rage.
"Are you afraid?"
Shiranui's tone was even more disdainful, "With such a huge advantage, you are still as cowardly as a mouse."
"Why are you still so arrogant now?"
Umibozu was angered by Shiranui's sarcastic words, and a huge wave as high as 10 meters hit him directly!
Finished!
It's doomed now!
Woo woo woo, Lord Shiranui, why do you have to provoke it?
Yumeko Kazama closed her eyes out of fear, but soon she realized that there was a powerful force in her body and her whole body was burning with heat.
She felt her hand rising up uncontrollably, and she opened her eyes to see that Lord Shiranui, who was floating above her right shoulder, had disappeared.
His whole body was surrounded by flames that looked like blood, and the sacrificial robe of the god of fire he was wearing was emitting unprecedented flames!
A red halo surrounded his body. The sea water couldn't bear the scorching temperature and countless white mists rose up around him.
The huge wave was also stopped by her single hand, melting away into a big hole, unable to hurt her at all.
Is this Lord Shiranui controlling his own body?
Yumeko Kazama's mind slowed down, and she completely handed over the control of her body to Lord Shiranui.
"Impossible, you can't recover so quickly, it's that dress!"
Umibozu's attack was ineffective, and another huge wave gathered and came.
"It's that dress that helps you. It turns out that's your confidence!"
"Oh, you're not stupid."
Shiranui still had a disdainful attitude.
"Do you really think you can escape from my hands by relying on external things?"
"Do I need to run away from you?"
"Shiranui, you're too proud!"
"Or are you as timid as a mouse?"
Shiranui controlled Yumeko Kazama's body, gave her a disdainful look, and her tone became more and more contemptuous.
"It's rare for a big monster to be so timid as you are."
"You definitely won't be as lucky tonight as you were last time!"
The furious voice of Umibozu was heard again from the huge waves.
In the distance where the sea and the sky meet, the dark clouds and fog finally showed new movements.
Hiding in the black fog, Umibozu could no longer stay and watch from a distance.
It wants to get rid of Shiranui, the biggest threat, by itself!
The dark clouds and black fog slowly moved, carrying unspeakable power, and moved towards the coastline.
The surging sea water, as the vanguard, turned into waves that swept over.
Yumeko Kazama was surrounded by flames, and even when facing huge waves coming towards her, she remained calm and composed.
When seawater touches it, it naturally melts and evaporates.
Yumeko Kazama, who had become a bystander, was thinking about a question.
It turns out that the Fire God robe passed down in the shrine is so suitable for Lord Shiranui that it seems as if it was tailor-made for him.
Could it be that Lord Shiranui secretly guided me to join the Fire Spirit Shrine?
Is it just to become a priestess and get this Fire God robe?
No wonder he was able to gain the shrine's recognition so easily and be granted the Fire God Robe to protect him.
After figuring out this problem, Yumeko Kazama began to watch the game seriously.
No matter how turbulent the waves were, they could never break through the halo around the God of Fire's robe.
Although it looks very cool and amazing.
However, facing Umibozu who has the advantage of geographical location, why does Lord Shiranui still stand here and continue to stalemate with it?
Shouldn't you hurry up and leave?
Could it be possible that Lord Shiranui, with the blessing of the Fire God Robe, could really defeat Kaibozu, who has been conferred the title of Sea God?
Eh, in that case, isn't Lord Shiranui wearing the Fire God's robe the Fire God enshrined in the shrine?
Is tonight the battle between the gods of water and fire?
While Yumeko Kazama was thinking, Chiye Hiramiya also glanced at Yumeko Kazama at this moment.
To be precise, it was the piece of clothing she was wearing.
There are many gods worshipped in Japan, and the god of fire is naturally one of them.
This fire god is also known as the fire-producing spirit god, a somewhat strange name.
According to the "Record of Gods", there were shrines dedicated to the God of Fire in Kii, Tamba, Izu and other places.
Logically speaking, the gods worshipped in coastal areas should be water gods, sea gods, wind gods and other gods who control the sea water and waves.
But in the area from the Sanam Islands to Okinawa, people are very superstitious about the god of fire. Not only does every family have its own god of fire, but there is also a common god of fire that they worship.
According to legend, the god of fire was transformed from a goddess born from the sea.
This speculation has no basis, but it has spread anyway.
Now it seems that the so-called legends are not necessarily absurd and ridiculous weird stories.
The sea was covered with dark clouds and there were strong winds.
The pair of red eyes, as big as bronze bells, had approached within a distance of less than a few hundred meters.
The huge body, which is 50 meters high, seems to be formed by the black sea water.
This overwhelming feeling of oppression is indescribable just to face it, let alone overcome it.
"Umibozu, let's see tonight whether my flames can dry up your sea water, or whether you can repeat your victory once again."
"Hahaha, Shiranui, you're definitely going to lose!"
Umibozu laughed wildly, opened his mouth wide, and rushed forward, trying to swallow Shiranui into his stomach with the force of a whale.
"Do you think you can beat me?"
Yumeko Kazama sneered again, then quickly retreated behind Chiye Hiramiya.
The firelight dimmed, and he spoke weakly, "Master, I'll leave everything to you from now on."
Pinggong Qianye nodded lightly, calmly stretched out his right hand, and placed it in front of the huge mouth of the sea master.
In an instant, golden Buddha light bloomed, endless, illuminating the dark coastline.
