Dragon Clan: Fujimaru-san is saving the world

Jormungandr's heart beat rapidly.

The muscles squirmed, and the blood flow turned into a prairie fire, spreading from the tail vertebrae to the whole body.

The blazing body seemed to be really burning. The arches of the feet raised a tapered profile, cutting open the air and attacking Fujimaru Ritsuka's side face with the force of a stormy wave.

"Haha! Xia Mi, why did you suddenly become so strong? Have you awakened the system?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who seemed to be in a state of high spirits, had his eyes shining brightly. He felt some pressure on his arm, and a hideous smile appeared on his face, like a painless patient experiencing pain for the first time.

And Jörmungandr inserted the giant scythe into the ground casually, and the ground was pushed by its huge force, surging like a wave, lifting Fujimaru Ritsuka and destroying her balance. At the same time -

"Is it possible that I have always been strong, but I just didn't wake up before."

Xia Mi couldn't help but laugh as well, and took the time to reply.

The next second, the two sides collided again.

Using his hand to block and turning his wrist to hit his elbow, Fujimaru Ritsuka easily blocked Jörmungandr's whip leg. At the same time, Fujimaru was surrounded by the surging mist wind, and his fists were like cannons and whips, but they broke halfway and were cut off by Jörmungandr.

The rain was pouring down, and the two sides looked at each other in mid-air.

What is reflected in the pupils is the expression of the person fighting with him at this moment.

So hot.

So fast.

but.

It can go further.

The sun in Jormungandr's eyes was ignited.

The cry went away with the wind, like the cry of a dying bird.

The sound of cracking was endless, and Jörmungandr's body changed at an alarming speed. Thin golden needles came out of the skin and stretched into bright red scales. The fine white scales were centered on the tip of the nose, arranged like inflorescences and raised. The muscles and non-human joints form an enchanting and toned dragon body.

The human form in the adult stage is similar to the human form in the sub-adult stage, but only when they look at each other can they understand the huge difference.

Her whole body was glowing like a firefly, her charming facial features were filled with solemnity, and her body was condensed with the purest strength called violence in the world.

The momentum increased to a higher level, and the weapon Jormungandr initially used to attack Fujimaru Ritsuka turned into a foaming phantom and was smelted into molten iron.

The soul-calling music began to play, and it was like 110,000 gods of death gathered together and roared! Not wind pressure or high heat, but majesty! It's like a mountain peak is slowly falling and the dust is about to settle!

A transparent field visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions with Jörmungandr as the center, covering the bones of the Dragon King. The body did not even shake at all, but the ground began to crack, and countless metal shavings slowly rose in the field, accompanied by What is happening is the phenomenon of intense magnetization. The metal shavings are attracted to each other and rotate around the black shadow, as if the god of death with a sickle is flying around the throne.

Once again, Jörmungandr unfolded [Speech Spirit]

But this time, it's not for smelting.

In the past, Jörmungandr never used alchemical weapons in the battle with Fujimaru Ritsuka, and even complained about Fujimaru Ritsuka's behavior of giving alchemical weapons to Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei when he was anxious.

Because Jormungandr does not want to take the risk to rob Kassel's collection, and he does not know how to refine it himself, and the ready-made treasures scattered around the world are all in the hands of Odin, and occasionally the authentic ones at auction——

Jormungandr couldn't afford it.

So she has always been short of weapons——

Until now.

The molten metal debris condensed into a branched alien weapon in front of her. It was ten meters in length and its surface was made of radial iron crystals. That's Death's giant scythe!

But it was not a Noble Phantasm forged by Jormungandr.

That's a cover-up.

The sickle suddenly appeared in Jormungandr's hand.

【Space replacement】

【Vacancy of Noble Phantasm】

——This time, Jormungandr did not come alone.

Behind her, there is the Dragon King named Norton.

That is to say——

What she was holding at this time was Jormungandr, the scythe used by Hades in the original canon!

[Jormungandr’s godhead includes Hades]

——This is also the reason why Jörmungandr was able to approach Fujimaru silently just now. Her use of Hades' helmet was far superior to others!

Including the King of Bronze and Fire who just doesn't work.

At this time, the opening of the spirit of speech is just to help add magnetism. It is not that the heaven and the earth are a furnace, but————

[Yan Ling. Sword Control]

Infinite acceleration, the orbital acceleration that Susie, the top student in Kassel, was able to create with great effort, Jörmungandr completed it as instantly as breathing, and increased the efficiency to dozens or hundreds of times!

Cut it off with one knife, like stars falling.

Both sides turned on the force field at the same time. The force field opened quickly, and the edges slightly distorted the scenery, like two transparent bubbles.

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not dodge or dodge, but crossed his hands and blocked the blow. Even after resisting, he was able to pull out one hand and deflect the sickle with one punch.

The fight was not over yet. They disappeared and then reappeared at the same time. No one could see their actions clearly. Even the heroic spirits could only see the new wounds on their bodies after the conflict.

It's too surprising.

Because the martial arts level of both warring parties has reached a level that makes it difficult for even the heroic spirits to keep up.

Moreover, Fujimaru Ritsuka's brute force heroic spirits have all been seen. Rather than being powerful, it is better to say that they are heaven-defying.

That is beyond the scope of heroic spirits.

Even if Superman Bear and the Heroic Spirit of Hercules come together to fight Fujimaru Ritsuka, they will be killed instantly.

Unless the true form of Heracles comes, there is no way to talk about it.

to be honest--

Fujimaru Ritsuka's physical ability is that of Hercules, the standard in mythology for lifting the sky.

And Jörmungandr was actually able to fight head-on with it under such circumstances?

Yes.

If you think about it carefully, you will find this misunderstanding.

In this world, Fujimaru Ritsuka's brute strength is a specialty that has been mentioned many times. Whether in Tokyo Tower, Battle of Odin, or Norton, this point is shown without exception.

A deadpool with a special physical form like the King would be suppressed head-on by Fujimaru Ritsuka without igniting the golden eyes. After Odin activated Achilles' Noble Phantasm, he was completely unable to fight Fujimaru Ritsuka on an equal footing with his martial arts alone. Norton even more He avoided the frontal battlefield from beginning to end, using only long-range weapons, word spirits, and in the end, Constantine was responsible for the one-stop attack.

The reason is unknown, but Fujimaru Ritsuka has never been defeated in the frontal battlefield, that is, the 'close combat'.

There is almost no such thing as "a brief fight for a few rounds". If we insist on saying so, we have to go back to the battle between Ritsuka and Kazama Ruri before the Golden Eyes were ignited.

【Exceptionally powerful】

So

Apart from Kazama Ruri, who else had ever directly fought Fujimaru in close combat?

Jormungandr is the only one.

In that battle, Jörmungandr was undoubtedly crushed, and was unable to even display his best martial arts, and his physical abilities were treated like plasticine by Fujimaru.

But think about it.

The evolution of the Dragon King is the transformation of life levels.

【King of Earth and Mountain】

Is Jormunga's martial arts really just that?

She is the most precise controller of power, which is not only reflected in her control of the knife. She can also accurately pour power into the "eyes" of the object. The power flows along the path of the eyes, stimulating huge shear stress. , so she can even easily destroy a bridge with one punch, but she does not rely on violence.

This kind of control over 'power' has long surpassed the so-called divine realm.

That's what's above this.

For thousands of years, there have only been less than ten people who have competed with Jörmungandr martial artists.

The ten people mentioned here do not refer to ‘people’ in the literal sense.

Instead, he fights against beings like the Victorious Buddha, the Nordic God of War Tyr, Carcathier, and Hercules.

That is the life form in the world with the highest martial arts skills since the birth of this planet.

Above the realm of gods——

【Empty Realm】

certainly.

The so-called martial arts is just technique - such a statement once existed.

Indeed, generally speaking, this statement cannot be wrong.

but.

That's a general theory.

When martial arts reaches the realm of gods, it is contaminated with ‘mystery’. To explain it from a slightly objective perspective is——

[Those who reach the divine domain martial arts can gain the ability to simulate self-observation, refer to the existence probability and density, and obtain the spirit of the god level]

Well, Luo Liba was so chatty that I really couldn’t understand.

But human martial arts are techniques of fighting.

The essence of martial arts in the divine realm is completely different - it is a realm that can only be reached by completing the so-called "unity of heaven and man" in Eastern culture, that is, by truly completing the understanding of the world and oneself.

This is the case for Karna, Lancelot, Scathach and other heroic spirits.

Even if he falls into madness, he can defeat his enemies just by relying on his instincts.

And still above that

Sky Realm - the ability to observe oneself and even control one's own body.

Of course, even if the 'observation' is completed, it must at least reach a certain passing line before the body can feedback the corresponding actions.

Before reaching adulthood, Jormungandr did not reach this standard.

After all, if you think about it carefully, you will discover the special characteristics of the King of Earth and Mountain.

That's imbalance.

The king of the fire element, the most widely used method is alchemy and the corresponding word spirit - but the problem is that Norton can still refine alchemy items even in the sub-adult stage. Even if he reaches the adult stage, it is just a matter of power and quantity. Further improve.

As for the king of the wind element, Odin, the most well-known word spirit in the wind element, Setsuna, a speed type like Time Zero, can be used normally regardless of the adult or sub-adult stage without transformation.

But what about land?

Earth element - what kind of spirit does it have?

What Jormungandrion uses in battle is the furnace of heaven and earth, which is the element of fire.

Why?

The answer is very simple. Just relax your head a little and recall the essence of the spirit of speech——

[Created by the Dragon Clan, it symbolizes the laws of the world and is the language of the world]

Created by the Dragon Clan.

The four supreme beings.

Whether Odin, Constantine, or Norton, who have mastered the elements, these supreme beings will create speech spirits and pass them on to future generations.

But - what about the earth and mountains?

As I said before, the earth and the mountains are treated separately. The earth represents the underworld, which is what Jormungandr said——

The creation of the speaking spirit of the earth element was left to Fenrir.

You know where the problem lies.

Fenrir can't create a word spirit at all!

A child who cannot speak clearly, even though he knows that the spirit of speech is instinctive and can be driven at will, is unable to complete [creation].

therefore--

The king of earth and mountains has no advantage at all in terms of speech and spirit!

But how could the Black King allow this situation to continue like this?

Something must be wrong.

While depriving Fenrir of his ability to create speech spirits and depriving him of his wisdom, there must be something to make up for it.

【Equal value return】

The foundational balance of this world is the truth that will never collapse.

What did the King of the Earth and the Mountain gain after losing the right to speak the spirit——

[It is enough for a dragon like Fenrir, who knows nothing about fighting, to be hailed as the 'strongest', such excessive wealth]

[It was powerful enough to make Ritsuka Fujimaru feel frightened when she saw Fenrir Eben for the first time]

the answer is--

"To put it simply and crudely, instead of using elements to prepare a spirit spirit, the elements are poured into the body."

【Quantity】Win!

"Unlike the elements of fire and wind, the earth element is the only element that can directly integrate with the body and be reflected in reality - this is why Fenrir's body is so powerful."

Earth and mountains.

The so-called earth refers to the planet beneath us.

Use this planet as the base point to explode everything within yourself!

Jormungandr's momentum continues to rise.

"And there is only one factor that affects this talent."

[Quantity, quantity of elements]

And this element is almost exclusively related to the Dragon King's life level.

therefore--

The king of the earth and mountains, the transition that can be achieved during the transformation of the sub-adult and adult stages——

【Astonishingly big】

This is why Jormungandr was once so weak and Fenrir was so powerful.

And this part is just the [decentralization of power given by the Black King]

Odin envied the talents of his other brothers and sisters. If Norton was a natural alchemist, then Jormungandr was an empress born for fighting!

The magic eye that destroys [Point] - essentially means that the brain has completely understood and successfully observed the flow of 'force' in the world.

[The lack of alchemical weapons] - make up for it.

[The gap in the amount of elements] - make up for it.

Jörmungandr, brand new from the factory!

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The hammer suddenly hit the ground again. The rough stones passed through the air and were blown away into dust in an instant. Jörmungandr stepped hard on the ground with one foot, hitting Fujimaru like a meteorite falling to the ground.

Mountains collapsed, huge waves collapsed, and all established facts of existence in the material world were shattered and collapsed.

Fujimaru Ritsuka used his hands as weapons, while Jörmungandr waved his scythe. Both parties were completely transformed into afterimages that could not be captured, blowing away the dust and creating a pulp-like arc of lightning.

The flesh and blood surged and burst into wounds, the bones trembled, and blood splattered everywhere.

Both sides are evenly matched!

Being able to fight Fujimaru Ritsuka personally for such a long period of time - Odin couldn't do it either.

The numbness of arms when swinging with full force.

The brain thinks to the limit of dryness.

This is a sense of fulfillment that Fujimaru Ritsuka has never felt since the battle with Norton.

But she once regarded fighting as a responsibility and could not gain any satisfaction.

But at this moment——

"Haha! Xia Mi! You are indeed the best!"

Laughing wildly, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately struck out with a piercing hand, splitting the air and cracking the ground, hitting Jörmungandr's left chest from bottom to top like a python, and the latter was really busy after hearing those fiery true words. Got a meal.

"Don't say such things in battle!" Jormungandr may have been excited about the fight, his face flushed obviously, and the sickle he swung with his backhand drove the wind blade, blowing away and smashing all the buildings in front of him except Fujimaru Ritsuka.

but----

not enough.

Jörmungandr kept making moves, waving his hands, and the sickle, which was not suitable as a weapon, turned into the most frightening weapon in the world, as graceful as the moon and as heavy as a mountain.

But not enough.

Whether it is the martial arts of the sky realm or the heavy earth element, the battle between both sides is constantly accelerating the pace and temperature.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's information continued to flow through Jormungandr's mind.

[Word Spirit Oracle]

There is probably no one who is the most cheating Yanling in the world.

As long as the user's own personal reality reaches a certain level, he can do anything. Combined with Fujimaru Ritsuka's vast amount of spiritual elements, it basically means that all wishes come true.

【Devil Eye of Direct Death】

Combat specialization, no, it is completely adapted to the omnipotent magic eye, killing everything in sight, as long as it can see the death line, even the Dragon King will die - and by coincidence, Fujimaru Ritsuka's personal reality is high enough for her See the death line of all living things.

[Sky Realm Level Martial Arts]

[Exceptional body]

[Top combat experience, combat talent, combat IQ]

No wonder she is considered the strongest person.

There has been no such life since the birth of this planet, right?

but--

all above--

(All, no threats!)

Jormungandr made such a judgment.

The Word Spirit Oracle can be counteracted by the same elemental control as the Dragon King, as long as the opponent intends to use the Word Spirit and at the same time disrupts the surrounding elements with the idea of ​​dying together.

When both parties are unable to use the spirit of speech, oneself actually has the advantage.

As for the killing intent of [Demon Eye of Direct Death], Jörmungandr completely relies on the operation of the opponent's 'power', directly pushing out his own 'death line' through the actions of Fujimaru Ritsuka!

The ability to see 'force' seems not as good as seeing 'death', but in terms of generality and application, this may not be the case.

If both sides are able to kill each other's attacks, there will be no problem.

I will apply this vision faster and more skillfully than her!

Not to mention the so-called martial arts and physical skills.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is not an invincible enemy for Jormungandr!

What is missing is something decisive.

A certain kind of hidden line that can make the final decision on the battlefield.

for example------

"Norton!! Bring that!"

Suddenly, Jörmungandr called out the name of the covenanter loudly under the surprised sight of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

[Constantine once signed a blood oath with Jormungandr, agreeing to be eternal allies. 】

Why?

Because Jörmungandr is strong enough, he does not pose a huge threat to Norton and others.

So--

Then what?

Why?

Why form a covenant?

as well as--

In the blood oath that is extremely rare in the dragon clan——

What exactly did both parties promise to each other?

So, let’s try to recall the original text of Jörmungandr, no—Hela, the God of Death.

[In Norse mythology, Helheim is the residence of the dead and has the same name as its ruler Hela. 】

[Nordic people thought it was underground, and they had to walk on a rugged road for nine days and nights in the cold and dark land of the far north to reach it. The gate of Hades is far away from the human world. Hermod, the famous god of speed, rode Odin's eight-legged horse Sleipnir and ran for nine days and nights before reaching the Gior River. 】

[This river is the border of Niflheim, and there is a gilded crystal bridge on the river, suspended by a hair. The bridge is guarded by the ferocious skeletal Modgud. Anyone who wants to cross the bridge must first let him suck his blood as a toll. 】

[After passing the Jiol River, there is a forest of iron trees. There are only steel leaves in the forest, and there is no hair on the ground. After passing the Iron Tree Forest, you reach the "Gate of Hel", guarded by the terrifying blood-spotted giant dog Garm, who curls up in a cave called Gnipa. 】

[In the "Gate of Hella", there is biting cold and profound darkness; there is a sound like a hissing and boiling cauldron, which is the sound of the Hwagmir spring. In addition, there are nine rivers in the underworld, one of which is called Slide, with sharp knives flowing in the river. 】

[Going further, there is Hela’s palace Eludnir. Hela’s favorite food is “hungry” and her knife is “glutton”. Her male servant is named "Slow" and her maid is named "Sloth". They move so slowly that no one can see which direction they are moving. The bedroom is named "Destruction" and the bed is named "Sorrow". , the curtain is called "Fire". Hela has many rooms to accommodate guests who come from the underworld every day; she not only accepts all murderers and ghosts who died unjustly, but also those ghosts who unfortunately died without bleeding. All the ghosts who died of old age and illness also went to Hela.】

This is the original text record about Hela in the world.

If Hela, the god of death, is the end of the king of the earth and mountains, then the recorded information must be related to the true history of the dragon clan.

Well, if you look carefully you will find it, right?

There are such obvious hints in this story.

and The Lord of Bronze and Fire, a counterpart to Norton's story.

Eliudnir, the palace of Hela - Misery

Hela's favorite food is "hungry", and her knife is "gluttonous"

Her male servant is named Slowness, and her maid is named Sloth.

The bedroom is named "Destruction", the bed is named "Sorrow", and the curtains are named "Fire".

Doesn't it look familiar?

In this original text that can be found on Wikipedia, these abrupt and inexplicable names——

Gluttony, destruction, sorrow, laziness

Why do so many rare items in Hela’s palace have to be given specific names?

Mentioned before.

[Originally, Evagrius Ponticus, a monk trained in ancient Greek theology and philosophy, defined eight evil behaviors that harm personal spirituality, namely gluttony, lust, greed, rage, sloth, melancholy, vanity, and arrogance. .

Pang Yifa observed that people at that time gradually became self-centered, especially arrogant. In the late sixth century, Pope Gregory I reduced those eight sins to seven, merging vanity with pride, melancholy with sloth, and adding envy. 】

The bed name [Melancholy], which seems to have nothing to do with the Seven Deadly Sins, is the source of laziness.

The translation of "Fire" in the original Nordic classics should actually be literally translated as "fire", which is related to the constellation. Mars was called "Mars" in ancient Europe, and the "God of War" in ancient Roman mythology was also called the "Red Planet". Mars corresponds to desire and lust in many myths.

Why?

Why name these in such detail?

What does it correspond to?

the answer is--

"Huh - it's really obvious that I thought I would never have the chance to use this alchemy field again in my life!"

Beside Jormungandr, the transparent realm began to expand.

Five meters, ten meters, fifteen meters, twenty meters...the field expanded rapidly. No one knows the effect of this word spirit, but the only outcome of being enveloped by it is death.

Jörmungandr signed a contract with Constantine, and even her favorite speech spirit was made of bronze and fire.

And on the other side of the legend.

Jormungandr, no, in the legend of Hela——

She has used the Seven Deadly Sins.

That is the pinnacle of [Alchemy Civilization] that can surpass all weapons.

Bronze Purgatory·Seven Deadly Sins.

【Alchemy Field】

【Crime and PunishmentScelus et poena】

At this time, that overly powerful magic weapon——

Being held in the hands of the empress with the most powerful martial arts skills in the world!

ps: Hela’s original code can be found in the encyclopedia. It’s okay to say that I just made it up, but to be honest, it’s pretty accurate, right? ? When I think about the fact that Jörmungandr and Constantine are the only dragon kings in the entire dragon clan who have definitely signed a blood alliance, coupled with this extremely abrupt naming, it makes people think of it! !

There is also the earth elemental spirit that never appeared in the original work except for the destruction of the world. I am trying to perfect it.
