Chapter 219: Everything is Under Control
Hearing this, Kamishiro Naraku’s fist slowed slightly.
He narrowed his black eyes, considering the rationality of what Ebisu had said.
Indeed, from the beginning, he had not been fighting to kill Ebisu, but to familiarize himself with his own power.
And Ebisu was the most suitable opponent.
Not only that, but from his current combat power, because of his compatibility with his new body and his mastery of divinity, these two reasons…
He couldn’t unleash the full power of a high-level god’s body.
In fact, he hadn’t even unleashed most of it now.
Of course, even so…
With his pure physical strength, and his extremely crude use of divinity…
And before, in the sea of blood, seeing that the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain’s physical suppression of Ebisu was exceptionally effective, he had imitated it.
And he had actually been able to launch a suppressive attack on Ebisu.
And now, it was even fawning on him.
Clearly, it was afraid.
However, if he continued to fight like this, as he became more and more compatible with this body, and his divinity became more and more proficient…
As long as he could figure out a further use for his divinity…
His chances of killing it were very high.
However, Ebisu’s words had given him a new idea.
Even if he killed Ebisu, but since it was a bit difficult to kill it, could he really kill the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain?
In fact, could he even stop her from escaping?
Her growth rate was vivid in his mind.
And he was now a complete enemy of the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain. If he let her escape, who knew, in a few years, she would come back with a higher rank and kill him in a matter of seconds.
Rather than that, it was better for him to strike first, and form a fatal situation to completely kill the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
And Ebisu’s proposal was indeed quite good.
Not only that, but it was also willing to give him a part of the precise manipulation method of divinity first. This way, even if his purpose changed at that time…
But he would also have gotten this part for free, and he would definitely not lose out.
And regarding the knowledge of manipulating divinity, it was indeed what he desperately longed for now.
Thinking of this, Kamishiro Naraku slowly nodded. He said,
“Since you’re willing to pay the price…”
“Then I can agree to this cooperation.”
“But I have a request. You will be the main attacker, and I will assist you.”
“I’m not yet familiar with the power of this body, and it’s highly likely to cause some deviations. When I feel I’ve mastered it enough, we can switch the main attacker.”
Hearing Kamishiro Naraku’s words, Ebisu’s copper-coin-like, blood-red eyes widened, and its face turned black.
It had never seen such a shameless person.
As a god who had lived for a thousand years, Ebisu could easily understand the hidden meaning in Kamishiro Naraku’s words.
Although he had agreed to cooperate…
But the so-called main attacker, wasn’t this clearly to make it a target and get beaten, while he casually cast some skills from behind?
As for switching the main attacker after he was used to his body…
It was all said by Kamishiro Naraku. Whether he was used to it or not was also said by him.
As long as Kamishiro Naraku was never used to it, wouldn’t it always be the main attacker?
Ebisu looked at the mottled wounds on its right arm, which were slowly healing.
These were all caused by Kamishiro Naraku.
And Kamishiro Naraku’s body, not to mention wounds, didn’t even have a single white mark. With its mid-level god’s body, and its own ability, it was not at all focused on attack.
In a normal battle of the same rank, it could still use its means, as long as it created a wound on its opponent, and could still slowly play its opponent to death.
But facing this higher-level one, it was helpless.
So…
With this power gap, he was still asking it to be the main attacker.
Did Kamishiro Naraku have any shame?!
In the world a thousand years later, although the power system was much worse than before, the new generation of humans’ skin was getting thicker and thicker.
Most importantly, Ebisu had no way to refuse.
It could only swallow its anger and agree to this unequal agreement.
Since encountering the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain, Ebisu had found that its luck from a thousand years ago had completely disappeared. Now it was getting worse and worse, and it was being disgusted by a human who had gotten lucky.
According to normal thinking, Ebisu actually had more choices.
But after being influenced by the unknown consciousness, its mind was filled with the thought of killing the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain. And joining forces with Kamishiro Naraku was the only reliable opportunity.
It could only agree.
“Alright.”
“But you also have to do your best to assist me.”
“If I find you playing tricks behind my back, I will activate the secret hand I left in the divine artifact Calamity and Fortune, and make you suffer a fate worse than death.”
This was a lie.
Ebisu had no secret hand on this body of Kamishiro Naraku’s.
Because this strange situation of Kamishiro Naraku was completely unexpected by Ebisu. And this was the ultimate trump card that the divine artifact Calamity and Fortune could only be used once.
How could it be possible to set up a secret hand?
Saying this was completely a bluff to Kamishiro Naraku, to prevent him from slacking off and not putting in any effort.
Although it was a bluff, this sentence was indeed effective.
A hint of divine circulation appeared in Kamishiro Naraku’s black eyes. He began to use his divinity with a slight awkwardness to flow through his body, as if he wanted to find the secret hand Ebisu had set up.
However, after searching for a while, he found nothing.
But Kamishiro Naraku understood that this might not be Ebisu lying, but that his own mastery of divinity was too crude, and it was highly likely that he couldn’t find its secret hand.
In that case, before his divinity reached a certain proficiency, he could only use some of his strength to fight the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
“I agree to your condition.”
“Give me a part of the method of using divinity.”
When the conditions were negotiated…
Ebisu didn’t hesitate for long. Hearing Kamishiro Naraku say this, a drop of blood with divinity floated towards him.
Kamishiro Naraku crudely wrapped it with his dark divinity.
And felt no sense of crisis.
Being naturally cautious, he fed it into a supernatural being in his body, as a relay station.
After the supernatural being in his body had digested it, Kamishiro Naraku’s mind, which was one with the supernatural being, began to have a vague idea of how to use divinity.
Although using a supernatural being as a relay station would lose some of the memories…
But it was safe enough.
Moreover, Kamishiro Naraku felt that with his own ability, as long as he got started, he could become proficient in the future.
However, the current situation was after all a crisis, which was why he needed Ebisu’s divinity usage skills.
He looked at the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain in mid-air, and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart. His black eyes surged with divinity, and he said,
“We can go now.”
With that, a blood shadow flashed beside him, and in the next moment, it had already appeared in mid-air, and shot straight at the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
And from the sea of blood below, a dense mass of blood-red tentacles began to rise.
And they wrapped around the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
Seeing this, Kamishiro Naraku’s use of divinity was more meticulous. He began to link his own supernatural being with his divinity.
With a squelch behind him…
A large amount of black blood spewed out, and a pair of bat-like, thin membrane wings suddenly spread. With a powerful flap, he instantly soared.
Although he had started later than Ebisu, he had quickly caught up to it and had come to its side.
Facing the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain, in reality, they had also discussed some strategies.
But they were just a temporary team. There was no tacit understanding at all, and both of their individual strengths were considerable.
The fastest and most effective strategy was of course for each to fight their own, and to purely use their own abilities to bombard the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
A mid-level god and a high-level god, against a mid-level god, what strategy was there to speak of? Just do it.
Natsuba Hanae’s red, glass-like beautiful eyes, faintly looked at Ebisu and Kamishiro Naraku’s approach.
She pursed her lips slightly and said softly,
“So, this is the result of your discussion just now.”
“In the end…”
“———You still want to fight me.”
However, since you’ve chosen, then you have to bear the corresponding consequences.
Natsuba Hanae gently raised her Umbrella Sword, the crimson vertical pupil on her pure black single wing, looked at the Umbrella Sword, the single wing trembled for a moment, and transformed into a massive, ferocious arm.
And it took the Umbrella Sword.
And the crimson vertical pupil moved to her bicep, and silently, a powerful and vast Sanctuary Flame swirled and flowed in her arm and the Umbrella Sword, very subtly.
In the next moment, Ebisu was already about forty meters in front of Natsuba Hanae, and the blood-red tentacles below, like a tidal wave, began to prepare to bind Natsuba Hanae.
Ebisu shouted loudly,
“Kamishiro Naraku, I’ll bind the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain, you…………”
“laaaaaaaaaaaa——————————————!!!!”
A strange, ghostly chopping sound, as if a nightmare’s voice was rushing straight at them.
The deathly stillness swept fiercely.
In an instant, at a distance of forty meters, Ebisu was horrified to see that the Umbrella Sword, which had been handed over to the massive, black, ferocious arm, was casually swung at it.
At the same time, the Umbrella Sword was instantly wrapped in Sanctuary Flame, and its length suddenly increased by more than forty meters, like a long, rainbow-like brilliant light curtain, with an unparalleled, terrifying power.
Its extreme speed made it impossible for it to react at all.
In the next moment, Ebisu’s vision was reversed.
Its head fell to the ground.
And the Sanctuary Flame burned in its head, turning it to dust.
In Ebisu’s body, the wound at the link of its head and body was also burning fiercely, and countless flesh buds wriggled wildly, trying to repair its head.
But they were stopped by the Sanctuary Flame, and continued to burn, and continuously downwards.
If this continued, with just this one sword strike, Ebisu would be burned to death.
“Damn it!!!”
Behind Ebisu, Kamishiro Naraku, seeing that Ebisu was up, and was then instantly killed by a single sword strike…
His expression was extremely ugly.
Her combat power, at this level, was infinitely close to a high-level god.
He didn’t know if this was Natsuba Hanae’s trump card, or if she was just getting serious now.
After all, he also knew her mischievous nature.
In reality, Natsuba Hanae was quite serious when it came to fighting. Each battle required a probe first, and then she would reveal a part of her trump cards and start fighting.
Not only that, but Natsuba Hanae also needed to test Ebisu’s strength, to determine the divine gap between low-level, mid-level, and high-level gods.
To give her a rough idea of a peak god.
But Natsuba Hanae’s move was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the alliance between Kamishiro Naraku and Ebisu.
And to defeat Natsuba Hanae, Kamishiro Naraku could not afford to lose a teammate like Ebisu.
Kamishiro Naraku’s right hand suddenly pierced into his own abdomen, and from it, he grabbed a round-headed supernatural being with several eyes. Due to his use of divinity, he had begun to master some of the skills that his own divinity could use.
Kamishiro Naraku shouted,
“Substitute for death!”
In the next moment, the Sanctuary Flame that was burning on Ebisu’s body, suddenly transferred to the round-headed supernatural being with several eyes.
Kamishiro Naraku quickly threw the round-headed supernatural being away.
The round-headed supernatural being let out an unpleasant, sharp cry.
“zaaaaaaaaaaa————————!!!”
Before it could fall into the sea of blood, it was burned to ashes, and lost all its life force.
Although in a very short time, Kamishiro Naraku had transferred the Sanctuary Flame on Ebisu’s body, in just that short time, the Sanctuary Flame had burned a large amount of Ebisu’s life force.
At this moment, its regeneration was extremely difficult. When it had regenerated a mouth, its flesh buds wriggled, but it couldn’t regenerate the parts above it.
Its face was twisted in a grimace, and it shouted loudly,
“Taiichi!! Swallow her!!!”
In an instant, in the sea of blood, below Natsuba Hanae, an incredibly vast, circular ripple appeared.
A huge shadow emerged from the sea of blood, about forty meters in size, completely blood red. Rather than a sea bream, it was more like a magnified whale.
It was wrapped in an incredibly thick, blood-red divinity, and like a rocket shooting up to the nine heavens, it fiercely charged at Natsuba Hanae!!
Seeing this, Natsuba Hanae murmured softly,
“Hook Star.”
“muaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——————!!!”
A violent and terrifying, strange bird song was heard, full of anger. Anger at this fellow for its blasphemy against her mother. A black, sharp claw, as large as Taiichi’s fish head, extended from the void.
And fiercely pressed down on Taiichi, forcibly changing its charging momentum, and with a surging wave, it fiercely pressed it back into the sea of blood.
The sharp claw fiercely squeezed, and the originally blood-red sea of blood instantly became even deeper and richer.
And Kamishiro Naraku would not let go of Natsuba Hanae’s attack’s opening.
He took the opportunity and, with his now more familiar body and divinity, he twisted and turned, and with lightning speed, he was behind Natsuba Hanae.
He now possessed a large part of the strength of a high-level god.
His right fist, boiling with a powerful, dark power, slammed at the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain’s head.
A twisted and gleeful smile appeared on Kamishiro Naraku’s face. With this one punch, he was confident he could seriously injure the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
However, at this critical moment…
“Boom—!”
His left hand, against all convention, and at an even faster speed, fiercely gripped Kamishiro Naraku’s right fist, stopping his attack.
Kamishiro Naraku looked at his left hand in horror.
He saw that his left hand, which was composed of dark divinity, was now slowly turning a crimson color.
A crimson vertical pupil suddenly opened and appeared on the back of his left hand. The emotion within was filled with a full playfulness.
…
