Looking Forward to Another World

"————"

When the screams of countless cockroaches superimposed on each other and continued to sound in the karma fire, the black sea of ​​insects that was originally full of cockroaches was replaced by a sea of ​​fire.

Large swaths of flames burned from the center of the cockroach sea, spreading outward like flowing magma, burning countless cockroaches to death in an instant, and turning them into ashes in pieces.

Originally, these cockroaches strengthened by the magic power would not be afraid of ordinary flames, but facing this red lotus-like karmic fire, the cockroaches were even more vulnerable than ordinary cockroaches when encountering flames.

And in such a sea of ​​fire, a thick arm holding a rotten knife flew into the air silently, and finally fell into the sea of ​​fire, and the knife and hand were burned to nothingness.

"you……!"

Heimusi, who had one of his arms cut off, let out a shrill scream and looked at the center of the sea of ​​fire in front of him with horror on his face.

There, Li Ge, who transformed into a foreign youth, was bathed in flames, and his eyes were particularly cold as he stared at Hei Mu's death.

The gloves he wore on his hands no longer exuded their brilliant luster due to the exhaustion of their spell power.

However, in Li Ge's right hand, he held another weapon.

It was a simple-looking knife that had obviously gone through a long period of time, but was still full of edge.

The red lotus karma fire burned blazingly on the blade, and the breath it exuded was not only scorching, but also had an ultimate killing intent.

Seeing this knife, Hei Mu died as if he had seen some terrifying devil. He screamed, turned his head, and ran away in embarrassment.

"Don't you like the taste of iron?"

Just when Hei Mu turned around and ran away, Li Ge's voice reached its ears.

"In that case, let's taste the iron in my hand."

The moment the words fell, it was like a sun rising in the fire of karma. The ancient sword burning with flames traced the trajectory of a true circle and slashed at Hei Musheng who was fleeing in panic.

"Pfft!"

Hei Mu had no time to react, or he was so frightened that he didn't even think about resisting, so his head was cut off easily.

"Bang!"

The flames burned, burning away Hei Mu's body, as if purifying this evil existence, burning it up.

"Kill one chanter and get 5 points."

Xiaojin's voice sounded just in time for the meeting.

Li Ge, who had killed Hei Mu with one sword, appeared in the flames.

but--

"...So it turns out that Onikiri is in your hands?"

Wulu Hengzi came to Li Ge at some point, stared at the knife in his hand, and squeezed out these words as if he was restraining something.

"oh?"

Shi Liulong also came quietly and came behind Li Ge. Hearing Wulu Hengzi's words, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

"This sword turns out to be the rumored Onikiri?"

Shi Liulong also looked at the knife in Li Ge's hand.

According to legend, during the Heian era thousands of years ago, the world-famous Minamoto no Manaka once had two famous swords.

One is called Shigeri, and the other is called Knee Pill.

They are Genji's treasures and are very famous even in modern society. They are a pair of extremely famous swords in folklore.

In particular, Mustache is extremely mythical.

Because it has been used to kill ghosts and gods many times and is a powerful weapon for killing ghosts and demons.

During the Heian period, Hashigeri and Kneemaru were handed down to Minamoto no Yorimitsu by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and Minamoto no Yorimitsu handed over Hashiri to Tsuna Watanabe, one of the Four Heavenly Kings under his command. According to legend, Watanabe Tsuna then used his mustache cutter to cut off one of the wrists of the famous ghost god Ibaraki Doji at Gojo Ferry.

Since then, Hiroshiri has been nicknamed "Onikiri".

Later, Kiso Yoshinaka also used Onikiri to kill ghosts in Togakushi Mountain. This sword was later passed to the hands of Minamoto Yoritomo, making this sword even more mythical.

Therefore, passed down from generation to generation, Onikiri has become a sword that can only be used by those in power in the country. It is not only a magic weapon, but also a symbol of power.

The era when Ishiryu Ryu was alive was far from the Heian Era, but he also knew the significance of Onikiri in the world of magic.

It is a magical weapon that can stand out even in the Heian era, when magic was at its peak. It is an extremely powerful magic tool that Genji spent all his financial, material and manpower to build!

Ibaraki-dōji is a ghost in folklore. In fact, during the Heian period, when magic was at its peak, this one was a cursed spirit that brought trouble to the world. He was also known as Shuten-dōji, another extremely powerful cursed spirit. As ghosts and gods, they occupy the area around the rivers and mountains, and regard human beings as nothing.

In that era, there were countless strange and powerful gods, and Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji were able to dominate among the many strange and powerful gods, which shows how powerful they were.

If Ryomian Sunuo had not dominated that era, perhaps Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji would have been the most dazzling and terrifying ghosts and gods of that era.

Onikiri was able to cut off one of Ibaraki Doji's arms, which shows that his power is beyond the comparison of ordinary special-grade spells.

In terms of status, this magic tool is even higher than treasures such as the Prison Gate and the Eight-Eyed Pillar!

If it hadn't been for the later decline of Genji, which caused the sword to lose its trace, this sword would still be regarded as a symbol of power by the top brass in the magic world and would be worshiped on the altar.

Unexpectedly, after many years, Onikiri was born again, and it actually fell into the hands of a foreign magician. If this matter spread, I am afraid that the top people in the country's magic circle would go crazy.

Even Shi Liulong thought so, let alone Wulu Hengzi.

You know, she is from the Heian Era.

Although she had never seen Onikiri, how could Kurosa Hiroko not know how special this famous sword was during her lifetime?

It was even so special that when Wulu Hengzi saw it, his first thought was to snatch it away.

If Wulu Hengzi didn't use a sword, those magicians who used swords would have definitely been unable to hold back and rushed forward.

Looking at Wulu Hengzi like this, Li Ge also raised his eyebrows.

"I almost forgot. You must be familiar with this knife."

It was actually a coincidence that I got this knife.

It was neither collected by Li Ge from the pursuers sent by the Director of Curses, nor was it accidentally obtained by Li Ge when he destroyed the stronghold of the curse masters. Instead, it was taken out from the body of a curse spirit. of.

That's right, it was taken out of the body of a curse spirit.

Perhaps because Onikiri has killed demons countless times and even cut off the hand of the demon god Ibaraki Doji, this sword naturally exudes a magical power that makes all the cursed spirits feel like they have encountered a natural enemy. Countless curse spirits instinctively want to destroy it.

The curse spirit that Li Ge encountered was very strong. Except for special curse spirits such as Lehu, Zhenren, and Lixiang, it was probably the strongest among all the curse spirits that he had encountered so far.

Its technique is to swallow iron and stone into the abdomen, and increase the hardness of the body by digesting the iron and stone.

Thanks to this, the fangs and claws of the cursed spirit were very sharp, and even the clothes on Lige's body, which were close to artifact-level items and were almost comparable to first-level weapons, were cut open.

The hardness of its body was also high enough to withstand Lige's "Resolution" using the two-faced Su Nuo technique. Later, Lige used the sure-killing "Eight" to kill it on the spot.

Then, Li Ge took out the knife from the body of the cursed spirit.

How the cursed spirit obtained Onikiri, Li Ge didn't know.

He guessed that because of the spell, the curse spirit might be good at finding special iron stones, so he could find this famous sword that was famous in the Heian era.

Out of the desire to destroy the knife, and also out of the desire for the power of its own material, the curse spirit swallowed Onikiri into its belly, intending to greatly increase its power by digesting it.

Unfortunately, it met Li Ge and gave him this great gift.

Hmm...it's not really a big gift, right?

Onikiri is very powerful. It is as famous as the legendary eight-handed sword. It is known as the sword that subdues demons and the sword that slays demons. It has strong restraint against cursed spirits and can easily kill cursed spirits and exorcise curses. It is definitely the top-notch magic tool, the best among the best.

Unfortunately, its sharpness is largely aimed at curse spirits. It also has great restraint against those curses with bad properties. It can also resist the spells of magicians to a certain extent, and it can also resist the spells of this world. It is a rare treasure for the magic world and magicians.

But for Li Ge, its effect is just that.

With the special attack ability of [Pioneer of the Sun], the restraint that Onikiri can do, Lige can also do it with his own characteristics, and the range of restraint is even wider.

As for Onikiri's own grade... it is at best an artifact-level prop, comparable to the first-level special weapon. For Rige, who is currently looking down upon those who are not world-level, it can only be said to be average. .

The reason why Li Ge brought it was, firstly, because it had an innocent origin and he didn't have to worry about exposing his identity. Secondly, because he was a swordsman. No matter what, he had to be equipped with a sword to perform well, and Onikiri was the one. The best quality knife among all spell tools.

Thirdly, in some legends, Onikiri is a sword that can release the fire of demon-subduing karma, and its fire can burn and kill any ghost.

If Li Ge uses the Breath of the Sun to fight against the enemy, the legend of Onikiri will be able to cover up his sword skills very well.

Although the breath in the whole concentration is not magic or incantation, it is a pure sword skill genre. There is no supernatural power in the hands of ordinary breath swordsmen. It is just that the different emphasis leads to different phenomena caused by the sword skills. That’s all, those phenomena are just superficial, and they don’t really have the same impact on the present world.

But Li Ge himself has spirituality and huge magic power in his body. The breathing methods of various schools have either undergone transformation in his hands, or have become more consistent with the accumulation of use and development over time. He has had his own supernatural power a long time ago. signs of the phenomenon.

For example, the breath of the sun, the flames can indeed burn everything, not just ghosts.

In this way, if Li Ge casually uses the Breath of the Sun, there is no guarantee that his secret will not be exposed in front of Xia Youjie.

But with Onikiri's cover, this won't be the case.

"give it to me."

Wulu Hengzi, who didn't know what Li Ge had in mind, just stared at the Onikiri in Li Ge's hand and spoke to Li Ge with excitement.

"want to?"

Li Ge smiled silently, raised the knife in his hand, and said something.

"Then come and grab it."

Hearing this, Wulu Hengzi rushed out without saying a word.

Onikiri is very strong, but she is not a cursed spirit after all. This cursed tool, which was created specifically to kill ghosts and gods, will not make her like Hei Mu, who is so frightened that she cannot even think of resisting.

But at the same time Wu Lu Hengzi rushed towards Li Ge, Shi Liulong also took action.

"[Smoothie Shockwave]!"

Shiliu Long, who gathered huge magic power in front of the nose of his plane, released a beam-like magic shock wave without hesitation.

Li Ge was about to react, but he was surprised to find that the shock wave was not directed at him, but at Wulu Hengzi opposite him.

"boom!"

As if being hit by a magical cannonball, Urogi Hiroko was blown away by the magical shock wave.

"Stonestream Dragon!"

He hurriedly grabbed the space to wrap himself up, but was still hit by the aftermath. Urogi Hiroko, who looked a little disgraced, was almost furious.

Dhruv is like this, Shiliu Long is like this, these bastards, all want to snatch prey in front of her?

"Don't worry, Wulu." Shi Liulong grinned and said, "You have all tasted it, but I haven't tried it yet."

Regardless of how irritating these words would be to Wulu Hengzi, Shi Liulong looked at Li Ge with burning eyes.

"You are a modern magician, right?" Shi Liulong said calmly: "You have proven your strength by killing Dhruv and Hei Musi."

"There are no spells, not even spell power. It's a shame that you can do this."

"The reverse case of [Heaven and Curse Binding], right? This is the first time I've seen a cursed person as strong as you!"

It seems that Shi Liulong has seen through Li Ge's true identity.

I just don’t know what his reaction will be when he finds out that Li Ge is pretending to be this person.

"Stone Ryūryū, the chanter whose score is second only to Dhruv among the four strong ones in Sendai Barrier, has a score of 77, right?"

Li Ge also roughly guessed the identity of the punk-style man in front of him.

"So, you want this knife too?"

Li Ge's half-smiling question did not elicit Shi Liulong's affirmation or denial.

Shi Liulong just said that.

"Let me see how good you are first." Shi Liulong showed a bellicose expression and said, "Will you become my dessert? I'm looking forward to it!"

"Dessert after dinner?" Li Ge said calmly: "So, I am not your main course?"

"Don't think that the main dish is the best." Shi Liulong squinted his eyes, raised one hand, as if raising a gun, pointed it at Li Ge, and said: "After you are full, let's have a dessert, then That’s when it’s most satisfying.”

"And I...have tasted the main course countless times during my lifetime, but I just haven't been able to taste the dessert."

"So, I've never been able to feel satisfied."

The spell power gathered in front of the head of Shiliu Long's plane, illuminating his slightly ferocious smile.

"Can you satisfy me? Eric Morzart!"

Li Ge did not respond to this sentence.

Because, the angry Wulu Hengzi had already rushed up.

"Don't get in the way!"

Shiliulong once again aimed at Kuroko Hiroko.

"Don't get in the way!"

Kuroko Hiroko shouted.

Li Ge smiled silently and stood on the spot, simultaneously welcoming Wulu Hengzi, who was attacking from the left, and Shiliu Long, who was shooting a cursed shock wave from the right without hesitation.

The most intense melee is about to begin.
