Chapter 266: Witches and sprites
Chapter 266 Witches and sprites
For a monster that has survived for thousands of years, being humiliated by a lowly human being with words is undoubtedly a matter of anger.
But anger was of no avail, and the irritable voice gradually calmed down. Thinking about it carefully, this human being is so despicable. If he becomes angry because of this, he will undoubtedly fall into the trap of this despicable human being again.
"Human worm, you won the first move. But, what are you going to do with these two women?"
The sprite calmed down the anger that was about to boil in his heart, and let out a cold laugh.
He was indeed dazzled by anger, but after calming down, he discovered the problem.
Even if you cut off your connection with Chakra, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing, right?
How would a ninja fight without chakra?
Rely on natural energy?
Although that energy is special, relying on this method alone is not enough to pose a fatal threat to it.
Therefore, even if Baishi has a way to block his dark energy, at best it can only protect himself against it.
The most important thing is that the other two women who followed may not be able to use such a special technique, which can prevent its darkness from encroaching.
I saw that Liuli and Ayane, who had fallen to the ground after the crash of the dark torrent, had slowly stood up from the ground at this moment.
The two of them were covered with a thick black mist, rolling and surging on their bodies like a stream of water.
Sharingan and Baiyan turned into boundless darkness, completely soaked in the darkness of sprites, when the eyes glanced over, it gave people a very terrifying sense of trembling.
"Human beings always do things without hesitation, or are these two women worthless to you? No matter what it is, you will see the despair on your face after being killed by them. Witness the truth with your own eyes."
The two newly obtained chess pieces are also quite impressive.
Among the humans it has controlled for thousands of years, the strength of Liuli and Ayane is also among the best.
Cooperating with the current it to fight, it can be said to be even more powerful.
After both Liuli and Ayane stood up from the ground, their eyes became dull under the erosion of darkness, like a pool of calm, stagnant water.
But they are full of murderous intent. It can be imagined that the posture they are showing at this moment is extremely dangerous to the enemy.
Seeing this scene, Baishi fell silent for a moment, looking calmly.
In the eyes of sprites, Shiraishi is just pretending to be relaxed.
It is estimated that at this moment, in my heart, I am already afraid of regretting to death.
It has already seen through the weakness and incompetence of human beings.
"Go ahead and kill him!"
The sprites give orders in a commanding tone.
Ninjas eroded by its dark origin are absolutely unable to act against its will.
Humanity cannot face its darkness.
They will only panic, tremble, cry out in fear, and cry in despair under its dark domination.
This is something that sprites know innately.
Struggled up, her body trembled violently, Liuli lowered her head deeply, her long hair fell loose, and she clutched her forehead with one hand, feeling that it was very painful.
Ayane also made almost the same movements, struggling there desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of sprites.
Using the pupil power of Sharingan and Baiyan to fight against the darkness that has eroded into the body.
The darkness that smelts the myriad phenomena of human nature is by no means a weight that a human body can easily bear.
On Liuli's body, Susanoo's chakra physical model slowly condensed again.
The difference is that Susanoo is no longer bright blood red, but on the basis of blood red, it is dyed with dark characteristics, turning into a dark red color close to darkness.
The giant sword was also pulled out of the air, rendered into a brand-new dark red blade, which was more solid and sharper than the chakra giant sword produced in the past.
And when people stare at the blade, they will also be covered with darkness, affecting their minds, which is equivalent to unconsciously releasing high-level illusions, causing the most feared things in people's hearts.
The dark red giant sword was raised high, reached the highest point, and stopped moving, as if it was stiff there, and hadn't made a move for a long time.
kill-
The sprite's order was mixed with the pleasure of destroying everything, and it was transmitted to Liuli's mind again through Chakra.
Afterwards, the dark red sword light that destroyed everything, crossed the obstacles of the atmosphere, galloped out like a wild horse that had completely let go of its restraint, and ruthlessly rushed through the rocky road under its feet.
The underground magma area was divided into two halves, directly hitting the sprite body hidden in the magma.
A miserable howling sound came from the sprite's mouth.
Countless tentacles protruded from the magma and began to swing wildly. The dark red blade touched the body, causing the pain to the point where the body could not control itself.
Only through such an exaggerated way can we share the pain.
However, compared to the sudden pain, what Liuli did at this moment is what makes the ghost feel the most angry.
"Why is that?—No, it's impossible! How could a human—Why?"
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
If Shiraishi cut off his connection with Chakra, he can avoid his dark erosion, which is understandable.
However, why can the human being with its dark origin reside in its body, against its will, to attack its 'master'?
Such a scene happened, beyond the scope of what sprites can think about.
"A mere human being—"
In this world, is there really a human being who can look directly at the darkness in his heart?
If this is the case, what is the meaning of being born in the world?
This kind of thing is impossible to happen!
"Is it you? Are you a human being playing tricks again? Hateful!"
The sprite turned its attention to Baishi, and countless pitch-black tentacles began to stretch out at a high speed, breaking through the blockade of magma.
Whitestone must have done something before its control would fail.
As long as this despicable human being is killed, everything will return to its original state.
Baishi saw a large number of pitch-black tentacles flying towards him, and stood there calmly without any movement, just calmly watching the sprite in the magma, showing its ridiculous and pitiful struggling posture.
Boom!
A huge rock fell from above, and it was Ayane who jumped to the top of the cave. Through observation with supercilious eyes, he directly hit the bearing point at the top of the cave, exposing the deep and endless night sky outside.
The huge rock block like a hill almost fell into the magma by rubbing the edge of the white stone.
Before the countless stretched out tentacles touched Baishi's body, they were crushed by huge rocks, splashing out blue-black blood, and each tentacle fell powerlessly into the magma.
The magma rolled up and splashed in all directions.
The huge rock has sunk into the magma, hitting the sprite's body.
The howling of sprites became even more horrific.
Although it can't form a fatal blow to the sprite, it is not an ordinary heavy blow to the sprite's mind.
It can no longer maintain the calmness and calmness it should have.
Humans who were supposed to be ants—
It should be me who is in sight of victory—
Why did this happen?
One by one, why do they have to get out of its control?
Among the extreme anger and humiliation, the sprite's heart is hot and frantic like the magma bathing his body at this moment.
It's just that its madness, in the eyes of others, is just a desperate beast, making its final struggle in front of the hunter.
The dark red giant sword swept away, cutting off the dark tentacles protruding from the magma without leaving a single one.
Liuli's mind is not very clear, but she can barely discern the current situation with her amazing willpower.
Should it be said that it is a sprite? This darkness was heavier than any darkness she had seen in Sharingan.
And this is just a part of the sprite's responsibilities. It is hard to imagine what a monster like sprites has been burdened so far, so that it has been fighting so far.
Even if it is Liuli, he can't help feeling pity for the sprites.
However, pity is pity, and Liuli has no intention of being merciful.
In fact, fighting sprites is very dangerous.
The power of sprites does not lie in the huge chakra and its infinitely regenerated body.
Its most essential darkness is the biggest weapon of sprites.
For humans, this is a deadly virus that is difficult to resist.
Even if she forced her will not to be distorted by this darkness, these darkness were like tarsal maggots. It would be extremely difficult to get rid of them when they entered the body, and they remained uncontrollably in the gaps in her heart, which in turn affected her mind.
Unless it is like Shiraishi, who temporarily let himself abandon Chakra and cut off the channel of dark resonance with sprites.
Just in this way, doesn't it prove that I lost to the darkness in my heart?
After enduring the darkness of Sharingan, there is no longer anything to fear in this world.
Now it is just that she has encountered a darkness that is heavier than Sharingan, and it is too early to make her succumb.
The same is true for Ayane.
In the Hyuga clan, the people of the clan have been instilling the concept of protecting the clan and sacrificing for the clan day and night. This concept of indoctrination lasted for more than ten years, and I have endured it one by one and acted in my own way.
Moreover, the most important thing is that even the Sharingan woman endured it. If I can't do it, won't it prove that I am weaker than her?
This is more unacceptable to Ayane than being controlled by sprites and monsters.
The only thing I don't want to lose to this Sharingan woman in this kind of thing.
The Ruoyou Ruowu pained murmurs that came out of Liuli and Ayane's mouths seemed to have endured to the critical moment.
Their Sharingans and White Eyes began to actively engulf the darkness left in their bodies by the sprites, intending to turn the darkness in their bodies into nourishment for pupil power.
The sprite roared angrily, and it also sensed the intentions of these two ignorant human women.
intends to use it as nourishment for pupil art, how can this be tolerated?
Although relying on amazing willpower, they initially blocked its darkness from encroaching, but such a radical attempt to melt its darkness and turn it into a part of their power, in the eyes of sprites, is just the last madness of human self-destruction.
But, what if?
Yes, just in case.
Although sprites are still unwilling to admit that among human beings, there is a special existence that can withstand its darkness.
However, the three of Baishi broke its expectations time and time again, and made actions that violated common sense.
If these two women are allowed to use the pupil technique to devour its dark power, there will inevitably be some accidents that are beyond its control.
It can no longer tolerate what is beyond its grasp.
The sprites immediately took action, and more dark torrents gushed out from the magma, rushing towards the bodies of Liuli and Ayane.
The dark red blade swung out, but it had no effect.
The dark torrent pierced through the dark red giant sword. This is just a manifestation of darkness and primitiveness, not a formal force, something that can be countered.
It doesn't believe that Liuli and Ayane can devour its darkness without limit.
As long as the balance in their bodies is broken, the two of them can be killed on the spot, and the balance of victory will tilt towards it again.
No matter what, these two humans cannot be allowed to succeed.
A dark territory where humans are not allowed to set foot.
Just when the dark torrent was about to touch the bodies of Ruri and Ayane, a miraculous light suddenly illuminated.
"!?"
The sprite's blood-red pupils suddenly turned to a certain position.
An ancient stone gate appeared on a well-damaged ground at some point. It was originally in the Shrine of the Ghost Country, and the sealed container that sealed the sprites was summoned to appear here at this moment.
The stone gate is completely open, revealing a different time and space mixed with purple and black.
The sprite's body trembled restlessly.
That time and space is exactly the 'cage' it is most familiar with for thousands of years.
For thousands of years, it broke free from the seal again and again, and was sealed by the witch again and again, where it tasted endless loneliness and despair alone.
It is a world that only monsters can endure.
The 'Paradise' specially created by the Miko for it.
As long as it enters there, its darkness cannot touch the human world.
For sprites, there is no place more boring than that piece of time and space.
In front of the stone gate, Maitreya Miko is shining with a holy white light, which is different from the darkness of sprites. It is a kind of warm power that will be melted as long as the darkness appears.
It is not accurate to say that it is warmth, but a purification of a higher level.
Seeing this scene, Shiraishi couldn't help but rush to Liuli and Ayane, and took them to a distance.
Even if Maitreya Priestess didn't deliberately target Liuli and Ayane, as long as the light shines on them, the two who are devouring and merging with the dark part of the monster will be severely injured.
Unless you can completely swallow the darkness of sprites and turn it into your own power.
However, this is not something that can be solved in a while.
The three of them have fully done the work of the 'container' and completed the tasks they should do well.
For the next finishing work, I can only trust Maitreya Miko.
It's just that this is not a good thing for sprites.
The darkness turned into a torrent, continuously overflowing from the sprite's body, and was forced to flow into the stone gate behind Maitreya Priestess.
The turbulent dark wave passed by Maitreya Priestess, driving her beautiful long hair that was also shining, flying there.
"So... so... Those three humans came here to share the darkness for you... The witches believe in humans, and humans also trust the priestesses who are no longer human... How could they lose to this kind of 'trust' power..."
At this moment, the sprite suddenly realized that the reason why Baishi and the others came here was not to fight it, but to serve as Maitreya's sealed container to spread the excess darkness on it.
Because Maitreya Miko's power at this moment is not enough to seal such a heavy darkness.
Can only rely on the way of spreading the darkness, letting the three of Baishi share part of the pressure, and finally the miko seals the remaining root consciousness.
It’s just that I understand at this time, it’s already a bit late.
From the very beginning, the battle rhythm was completely dominated by the opponent.
Its ugly appearance is also something they are calculating.
Obviously mastered a more powerful darkness than before, why do you fail every time?
Is my failure really just an accidental loss to humans and witches?
If it is accidental, how to explain the countless failures in the past thousand years?
The sprites were full of such doubts.
The huge darkness is the manifestation of the original soul of sprites.
Countless dark tentacles dancing in the air lost their spirituality, turned into dead objects and fell towards the magma, and were finally swallowed by the magma without a trace.
A huge darkness flew over Maitreya Priestess's head, turning into two arms, tightly grasping the edge of the stone door so that her body would not be sucked into it.
Puzzled?
Unwilling?
Or both.
Does fate have to reincarnate again?
At this time, it seems meaningless to ask anything.
Why does Maitreya, who is of the same kind, help mankind in this way?
Just a bunch of hopeless bugs.
It seems that in the past, Maitreya's ancestors also asked it, why is it unwilling to believe in human beings?
Sprites remember scoffing at the question.
It has absorbed the darkness of human beings and grown up. No one understands the ignorance and selfishness of human beings better than it.
Such a fool, why should he be trusted?
In the blood-red pupils, there flowed the infinite nostalgia for the world, as well as the pity for Maitreya as a priestess.
Longing for beautiful things is the instinctive pursuit of human nature.
Not human beings, monsters who are better than human beings, naturally have this desire.
Opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything in the end, and felt a strange feeling that he didn't know what to say.
He took the initiative to let go of his hand, and the body transformed into darkness lost its support, and fell into the endless different world.
There, it will enjoy eternal solitude as before.
Waiting quietly for the next time to come to the world.
Next time, it won't let go of it so easily.
"Sorry, Sprite."
Calm words, spoken from Maitreya's mouth.
The ancient stone gate slowly closed, everything in the world suddenly returned to calm, and the darkness disappeared.
◎
The sprites have been sealed again, but follow-up issues still need to be dealt with.
Because during the battle with the monsters, the ghost army controlled by the monsters caused serious damage to many areas of the kingdom of ghosts.
Especially the main roads of some important towns were trampled by stone statue soldiers, causing the road surface to collapse.
Some towns were also invaded by stone statue soldiers. It was difficult to resist by relying on the ninjas stationed there, so they could only give up and take the residents in the towns to escape.
These damaged towns also need to be restored and rebuilt as soon as possible.
For other countries, this may be a huge project that is quite complicated and consumes manpower.
But for the kingdom of ghosts, it is not difficult.
In the kingdom of ghosts, a special ninja engineering team was set up very early.
The ninjas in this engineering team are not good at fighting, but are proficient in various special techniques that are conducive to construction, and have ten years of rich construction experience.
The speed of their manual reconstruction far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Cooperate with ordinary workers to join in the construction work, greatly increasing the efficiency of road and town reconstruction.
In the shrine outside Ziyuan City.
When Shiraishi came here, the air here was completely new, without the depressing atmosphere.
This may be because the sprites were re-sealed.
Moreover, its darkness is divided, so naturally it cannot pass through the sealed stone gate and extend its tentacles into the human world again.
In the stone stream of the mountain behind the shrine, Maitreya Priestess stood there alone, with a lonely shadow standing there, and it seemed that the world was desolate.
For some unknown reason, Shiraishi felt the presence of Maitreya Miko at this moment, and it became very thin.
Even the figure has become a lot more illusory.
Is it because of the seal? Baishi thought in his heart.
However, compared to sealing, Shiraishi is more willing to regard the state of Maitreya Miko as the price to offset the darkness of sprites.
Although the sprites have said that the Miko is of the same kind as it.
But the roots of the two are quite different.
Spirits are monsters bred by chakra based on the darkness of the human heart.
While Miko, in her original form, is a real human being.
The reason why they are of the same kind is only because they have formed special forces that can resonate with each other through special methods.
This is also the reason why sprites are obsessed with witches.
Even monsters feel lonely, and they long for someone who understands them.
For it, the witch is a special existence that can pry open its mind.
It can't kill the Miko, and the Miko can't kill it.
It’s just repeating this endless cycle of fate, entangled with each other.
In this world, there is no one who is more aware of the existence of witches than sprites.
"Mr. Shiraishi, has the situation of those two improved?"
Maitreya turned his head and asked.
Shiraishi knew that Maitreya was referring to Liuli and Ayane.
The two of them are in a special state of unconsciousness because they have sucked the darkness of sprites, undergoing some unknown transformation.
Shiraishi couldn't help the two of them with this kind of thing.
The only thing that can be done is to ensure that the two of them can retreat unscathed when the two of them fail to fight against the darkness.
"At present, there is no accident. However, I am not sure whether it will be successful. Even though I used the negative energy of Zero Tail to give them two simulated training in advance, the darkness on the monster is not comparable to that of a young monster like Zero Tail."
In order to deal with monsters, Shiraishi made targeted training for Liuli and Ayane early on.
Monsters are not easy to find in the ninja world.
There are even fewer monsters in the hand, only Zero Tail.
Although the way of birth can be said to be similar, Zero Tail was discovered and mastered by the people of Sky Country decades ago. At that time, Zero Tail was discovered, and its power was very weak. It can be imagined that Zero Tail was still a juvenile body of a monster.
There is a huge difference between monsters that have survived for thousands of years.
Even if Shiraishi stimulates and strengthens the power of Zero Tail in various ways, if he wants to reach the level of a sprite, he may not be able to do it in a lifetime.
There is also an essential distinction between monsters and monsters.
But this also opened up a way of thinking for Shiraishi at the time.
They all use darkness to influence people's hearts, so Shiraishi chopped up parts of Lingwei's body more than once, and made these body fragments into potions for tempering willpower, allowing Liuli and Ayane to adapt to the so-called "darkness" in advance, and exercise a firm willpower that ordinary people cannot match, against the dark nature of monsters.
Except for a little feeble body, generally speaking, his speculation is not wrong.
"Well, although I have sealed the root consciousness of sprites in a different time and space, the darkness that remains in the world is still a dangerous force for ordinary people. If possible, Mr. Shiraishi should not abuse this power. Not every life can withstand the erosion of darkness."
Maitreya's gaze was deep, looking straight at Baishi.
Shiraishi nodded.
"Please rest assured about this, I have already figured out how to deal with that part of the darkness."
"In this case, please Mr. Shiraishi."
Maitreya smiled slightly, with a hint of carelessness.
Baishi's heart moved, and he looked at Maitreya's gentle and kind face.
"Are you... leaving?"
Maitreya nodded, even so, there was no sadness on his face.
"For a shrine maiden, life is just a reincarnation of the past. My mission in this life is over. In the future, let Shion continue to carry on the mission of the shrine maiden instead of me. That child may be a bit willful, but she will definitely complete the work of the shrine maiden excellently."
Born in such a land, Maitreya didn't know whether his daughter Ziyuan was lucky or unlucky.
But before the new path comes, the miko must take on such a responsibility.
"Really? Then... I wish you all the best."
Baishi exhaled slowly, turned his back on Maitreya and left resolutely.
Maitreya, who has seen everything in the world, does not need an outsider to comfort him here.
For her, sleeping peacefully on the earth that raised her is the best farewell ceremony.
Where the witch will go after death, Shiraishi doesn't know, and doesn't want to know.
Because of the truth of the matter, it may be very cruel.
In this world, there will always be some people who choose to move forward with heavy burdens.
