Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1495 1467. Contempt for Gods and Buddhas

"My Lord! My Lord!"

In the castle tower in Inabayama Castle, a samurai general hurried upstairs amid the clanging of armor.

He shouted as he trotted.

But when he reached the top floor of the castle tower, he stood outside the gate and did not dare to go in directly.

He just bowed his head and stood outside the door respectfully, reporting inside.

"Many people in the city have seen some strange phenomena at the Jōzaiji Temple on the mountain of Jōzai across the Nagara River. It seems that there are demons at work!"

Inside the sliding paper door, through the light and shadow of the candlelight, a figure wearing a set of majestic armor was projected, even when not in war.

That set of armor is undoubtedly a heavy weapon in Japan today, and it is a top-grade set of armor in the world.

It is precisely because of the other party's style of wearing weapons without any care in wartime or peacetime that he has a high prestige in the army.

I just don't know if it's an illusion.

The samurai general only felt that compared with the past, the front horns on the lord's helmet - the pair of demon horns decorated on both sides of the helmet's forehead. Have they become a little bigger?

Through the paper door, the pair of demon horns still emit a faint purple light?

Did a craftsman make a new modification?

But there was only a little silence inside the paper door, and then a female voice that sounded dull because of the "half head" (the mask covering the nose and the face below) and the paper door came out.

"Demons. Trouble?"

Somehow, the samurai general who came to report the abnormality felt a little cold in his heart.

It was like. It was like he was not talking to a "human".

But how could this be possible?

"Lord Yoshitatsu! Please make a decision early! People in the city are panicking now."

"Decision?" The dull female voice pondered for a moment, but it seemed as if she was listening to the advice of an invisible counselor beside her, "No, don't worry about it."

"Huh?"

The samurai general was so surprised that he subconsciously raised his head, which was originally bowed respectfully.

"Don't worry about it." Saito Yoshitatsu repeated calmly behind the paper door, "It's probably Master Higo, the survivor of the Nagai family is going crazy. He's just a dog that has lost its home."

"This"

"Just do it." Saito Yoshitatsu gave the order in an irrefutable voice, and the samurai general could only agree immediately.

"Yes! I understand!"

"There's more."

"Please tell me."

"How is the work of burying spiritual stones in various places in the city?"

"You mean the golden stones?" The samurai general bowed and said, "I am arranging it, but can these stones really make Inabayama Castle more solid? This is already one of the strongest cities in the world."

"You just don't understand the power of spiritual stones yet, just do it."

"Yes!"

The samurai general bowed his head and retreated, feeling mixed emotions.

Although the new lord has only been in office for a few years, this look of contempt for gods and Buddhas is really shocking and admirable.

As Buddhism is a widespread belief in Japan, the samurai general naturally believes in it. Although he doesn't shout and kill those who disrespect gods and Buddhas, he is also taboo.

But on the other hand, the Japanese seem to have a deep admiration for this kind of "daring to despise gods and Buddhas", which is very contradictory.

It seems that the inexplicable "reassurance" that Master Higo had in his heart about Saito Yoshitatsu was indeed trustworthy.

But unfortunately, his own vigilance and resentment towards Saito Dosan's son caused him to get rid of this "reassurance", and then in today's emergency, he directly turned the Buddhist temple into a ghost den!

"The good news is: we can go to the mountain at will now. After using the barrier on the mountain to guide [residual filth] to form [eternal darkness], the function of the barrier itself should be washed away by the filth."

In the dead and gloomy forest, Lan En's hands clenched and loosened.

Sensitively sensing the changes in physical energy consumption caused by tiny movements.

"But there is also bad news."

Wuming continued with an ugly face: "The bad news is: we have to bear the suppression brought by this large area of ​​[eternal darkness]!"

Although the barrier of Changzai Temple is a combination of Buddhism and Yin-Yang magic to dissipate the energy of intruders. In Bai Ze's words: It's unethical.

But at least it is still a magic in the human world.

As for [Eternal Darkness], it will not only dissipate the energy of human beings, but also slowly drain away vitality, consciousness, and other elements that constitute life.

If a person who is not possessed by a guardian spirit is in [Eternal Darkness], even if he does not move to save his physical strength and avoid being exhausted to death, he will die due to the uncontrolled loss of vitality.

Or forget his identity as a living person and assimilate into [Eternal Darkness].

The environment here is similar to the underworld, and it is not a place for living people to stay for a long time.

To be honest, even if there are people blessed by guardian spirits, they will never feel comfortable here. There is no way to exert normal combat power in battle.

There must be a discount anyway, it depends on how big the discount is.

At the moment, Qilin obviously feels a lot more relaxed, but Wuming, Flannel Ball, including Lan En, all feel more suppressed than before.

The guardian spirit of the soul is also suppressed.

In this environment close to the underworld, because all kinds of bright colors disappear, the disappearance of color difference makes it more difficult for people inside to distinguish the surrounding things.

"Woo-woo-woo!"

"Meow!"

"Sizzle!"

A flawless version in the book forum of 16-9!

A hungry ghost suddenly got up from the ground in the weeds, opened his mouth and screamed, and rushed towards the fluffy ball passing by the weeds!

But the reaction of the Fey Cat was very fast.

Although he didn't notice the enemy in advance, the [Thunder Cat Sword] in his hand and his body suddenly burst into a light red halo!

As his figure flashed, there was only an instinctive cat cry, and the [Thunder Cat Sword] had already cut off the deformed big head of the hungry ghost who pounced on people!

And what spurted out of the hungry ghost's severed neck was not physical blood, but black smoke like [Changshi] and [Changan].

Then, the hungry ghost's body also disintegrated into black smoke.

But the fluffy ball that had just burst out [Fighting Qi] also took a few breaths.

Compared with this world, the fighting skills of the New World are relatively rough in terms of precise control of physical strength.

This is also because the hunters in the New World don't have to care about ghosts and monsters at all, just fight the monsters head-on.

So all the skills are basically based on accelerating the consumption of physical strength as a prerequisite for improving explosive power.

The fluff ball has already started to learn the [Fighting Spirit] skills under Lan En's guidance. This has greatly improved its movement efficiency and attack ability.

Like this time, even if it was attacked by the hungry ghost lying in the bushes, it can still get the first-hand advantage and kill the enemy in a backhand.

However, this skill of improving itself by accelerating the consumption of physical strength is a bit inappropriate to use in [Eternal Darkness].

After a wave of bursts, the fluff ball took two deep breaths and then returned to normal.

This is just a simple burst of [Fighting Spirit]. If you want to use the skills seriously, such as the [Ghost Humanization] of the double swords, I'm afraid its physical strength will be drained directly!

"Flannel Ball!" Lan En shouted in front, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Flannel Ball responded immediately and actively, "I'm coming, meow!"

Not only was Flannel Ball attacked by the hungry ghosts lying in the grass by the roadside, but this group of living people was like a guiding light in [Eternal Darkness].

When those demons and ghosts saw it, they all rushed over here!

Lan En had previously keenly noticed through [Spiritual Vision] that the original barrier of Changzai Temple played a guiding role in [Eternal Darkness].

So even if the effect of the barrier disappeared later, he was still prepared to dismantle the remaining three lotus stone pillars first.

See if it can have an impact on [Eternal Darkness], preferably weaken it.

But the difficulty of advancing along the way is completely different from before!

"Roar, ah!"

The monkey's cry echoed violently in the mountains and fields, but this sound was not as sharp as that of ordinary monkeys. Instead, it highlighted a kind of deep resonance from the chest of a large creature.

This sound was not surprising, because the monkey was really big!

It was almost as big as Lan En!

The monkey was originally hanging on the tree with one hand, waiting to attack passers-by. When it let go and attacked, it directly broke a half-human-sized rock!

The huge body, the limbs were thick and strong, and it was also flexible like a monkey. Just one arm was as thick as an ordinary person's waist, with knotted muscles!

There was a single horn with a dreamy golden light on its head. There were also lenses of the same texture on its shoulders and body that pushed out from under the skin.

It was draped with a tattered piece of clothing and held a twisted spear in its hand.

It seemed that it disliked several spears because they were too light and thin, so it simply twisted them together with brute force and used them randomly.

Lan En could tell at a glance that these should be the clothes and weapons of the monks who used to be in the temple!

This was a monkey in the mountains that was stained by filth and turned into a monster!

The screams in [Eternal Darkness] just now should have been caused by it slaughtering the weakened monks.

Such a strong monster would not appear to be small and weak even if it stood in front of Lan En.

But this is only the appearance after all.

In terms of the body, it is not on the same level as Lan En.
