Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1495 1467. Contempt God and Buddha

"My lord! My lord!"

In the castle tower of Inabayama Castle, a samurai general hurried up the stairs with the sound of his armor clanking.

He shouted while trotting.

But after reaching the highest level of the castle tower, he stood outside the gate and did not dare to go in directly.

He just stood outside the door with his head bowed respectfully and announced inside.

"Many people in and around the city saw Jōzaiji Temple on Washibayashiyama across from the Nagara River. Some strange phenomena seemed to have occurred. It seemed like a demon was causing trouble!"

Inside the sliding paper door, through the light and shadow of the candlelight, a figure who is still wearing a set of majestic armor even if he is not at war is projected.

That set of armor is undoubtedly a heavy weapon in Japan today, and it is the best equipment in the world.

It is precisely because of the opponent's demeanor of wearing weapons without caring about it, no matter in wartime or peacetime, that the opponent has a high prestige in the military.

But I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

The samurai general only felt that compared with before, the front of the lord's helmet - the pair of ghost horns decorated on both sides of the helmet's forehead, had become a little bigger?

Through the paper door, the pair of ghost horns still glow faintly with purple light?

Did you find a craftsman to do some new modifications?

However, there was only a moment of silence inside the paper door before a female voice sounded muffled through the paper door while wearing a 'half head' (a visor covering the nose and the face below).

"A demon is causing trouble?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Somehow, the samurai general who came to report the abnormality felt a little chilly.

It's like. It's like, I'm not talking to a 'human being'.

But how is this possible?

"Lord Yilong! Please make a decision early! People in the city are in panic now."

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

"Um?"

The samurai general was so shocked that he subconsciously raised his head that had been bowed respectfully.

"Don't worry about it." Saito Yoshiryu repeated calmly behind the paper door, "It's probably Sungosuru, so why are the survivors of the Nagai family crazy? They're just lost dogs."

"this"

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

"Yes! I understand!"

"besides."

"Please speak."

"How are you doing with burying spiritual stones all over the city?"

"You mean those golden stones?" The samurai general bowed and said, "I'm making arrangements, but can these stones really make Inabayama Castle stronger? This is already one of the most fortified castles in the world. ah."

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

"As you command!"

The warrior general bowed his head and retreated, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

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

Buddhism is a widespread belief in Japan, and the samurai generals naturally believe in it. Although it is not necessary to shout and kill people who do not respect gods and Buddhas, there are still many taboos.

But on the other hand, the Japanese seem to have deep feelings of admiration for this kind of "dare to despise gods and Buddhas", which can be said to be very contradictory.

The unfounded feeling of "reassurance" about Saito Yoshiryu that Master Niko had in his heart before seemed to be indeed worthy of trust.

But unfortunately, his own wariness and resentment towards Saito Douzan's son caused him to get rid of this "reassurance", and in today's desperate situation, he directly turned the Buddhist temple into a ghost!

"The good news is: we can now go to the mountain at will. After using the barrier on the mountain to guide [Defilement] to form [Eternal Darkness], the function of the barrier itself should have been washed away by the dirt."

In the dead gray mountain forest, Lan En's hand tightened and unclenched.

Keenly aware of the changes in physical exertion caused by tiny movements.

"But there's bad news."

Wu Ming continued with an ugly face: "The bad news is: we have to bear the oppression brought by this large piece of [Eternal Darkness]!"

Although the barrier of Chang Zai Temple is a combination of Buddhism and yin and yang techniques, it can neutralize the energy of intruders. In Bai Ze's words: It's quite wicked.

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

As for [Eternal Darkness], it will not only dissipate the energy of human beings, but also the vitality, consciousness, and other elements that make up life are slowly passing away. If the person who is not possessed by the guardian spirit is in [Eternal Darkness], even if he is motionless, he wants to conserve his energy and avoid being exhausted. They will also die due to the uncontrolled flow of life force.

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

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

To be honest, even people with the protection of guardian spirits would never feel comfortable here. There is absolutely no way to exert normal combat effectiveness when fighting.

No matter what, you have to get a discount, it depends on how big the discount is.

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

The guardian spirit of the body and soul was also suppressed.

In this environment that is 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 things around them.

"Ouch!"

"Meow!"

"Stab it!"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

From the weeds, a hungry ghost suddenly got up from the ground, opened its mouth and screamed strangely, and rushed towards the flannel ball passing by the grass!

But El Cat reacted quickly.

Although the enemy was not detected in advance at all, a burst of light red halo suddenly erupted from the [Thunder Cat Sword] in his hand and its body!

As the figure flashed, there was only an instinctive meow. The [Thunder Cat Sword] had neatly cut off the deformed big head of the hungry ghost that had rushed to bite him!

What spewed out from the severed neck of the hungry ghost was not material blood, but black smoke that resembled [Eternal World] and [Eternal Darkness].

Afterwards, the corpse of the hungry ghost completely disintegrated into black smoke.

But the flannel ball, which had just burst out with fighting spirit, took a few breaths.

Compared to this world, the combat skills in the New World are relatively crude in terms of precise control of physical strength.

This is also because the hunters in the New World don't have to care about gods and ghosts at all, they just go head-to-head with the monsters and that's it.

Therefore, all techniques are basically based on accelerating physical exertion as a prerequisite for improving explosive power.

Fluffy Ball had already begun to learn the [Fighting Qi] technique under Lan En's guidance. This greatly improves its movement efficiency and attack capabilities.

Like this time, even if it is attacked by a hungry ghost lying in the grass, it can still directly gain the upper hand and kill the enemy with a backhand.

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

After a wave of explosions, the flannel ball took two deep breaths before returning to normal.

This is just a simple burst of [Fighting Qi]. If you want to use serious skills, such as the [Ghost Transformation] of the double swords, I am afraid that its physical strength will be drained directly!

"Flannel ball!" Lan En shouted from the front, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Fluffy Ball immediately responded positively, "I'm here, meow!"

Not only were the flannel **** attacked by the hungry ghosts lying in the grass on the roadside, but they, a group of living people, were like guiding lights in the "Eternal Darkness".

Those monsters and ghosts rushed here in a hurry after seeing it!

Lan En had keenly noticed through [Spirit Vision] before that the original barrier of Chang Zai Temple played a guiding role in [Chang Dark].

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

See if it can have an impact on [Ever Dark], it would be best to weaken it.

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

"Ho **** ho ah!"

The cry of the ape echoed fiercely in the mountains and fields, but the sound was not as sharp as that of ordinary apes. Instead, it highlighted a richness that resonated from the chest of a large creature.

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

That's almost the same size as Lan En!

The monkey was originally hanging on a tree with one hand, waiting to attack passers-by. When he let go and smashed down for a sneak attack, he directly broke a mountain rock the size of half a man!

The body is huge, the limbs are thick and strong, and it also has the flexibility of an ape. One arm alone is about as thick as an average person’s waist, with gnarled muscles!

On the head is a lens horn that emits dreamy golden light. There are lenses with the same texture on the shoulders and body protruding from under the skin.

A piece of tattered clothes was randomly draped across his body, and he was holding a twisted spear in his hand.

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

Lan En could tell at a glance that these were the clothes and weapons of the monk soldiers who had been in the temple before!

This is a monkey in the mountains that was soaked in filth and turned into a monster!

The screams in [Eternal Darkness] just now should be part of the fact that it was killing those monk soldiers who were in a state of weakness.

Such a strong monster would not be outdone even if he stood in front of Lan En.

But this is just appearance after all.

Internally, it is not on the same level as Lan En.
