Chapter 222: Kamishiro Naraku, Dead!
Hearing the whisper from the white orb…
Natsuba Hanae’s brow furrowed slightly, a thoughtful look in her red, glass-like beautiful eyes.
This orb was clearly the thing that the unknown consciousness had left in Ebisu’s body to influence its mind.
Although it had enhanced Ebisu’s strength, it had also turned it into a brute who only knew how to kill her, and didn’t know how to run away.
Otherwise, with Ebisu’s rather tricky abilities, if it had single-mindedly wanted to escape, she would have had to expend more effort and a greater price.
And to fight her head-on, the effort required was much less.
However, compared to Ebisu’s various things, the voice in her mind now clearly needed more attention.
“An outsider?”
In reality, for Natsuba Hanae, the term “outsider” was not accurate.
Although she had a previous life, she had indeed lived and grown up in this world in this life, and had a unique identity.
And she had met and adopted a group of daughters. Although several of them had become a bit strange and perverted, even so, in her heart, they were all her lovely daughters.
With her close connection with them, she didn’t think she was an outsider.
However…
Since the unknown will had given Ebisu this hint, it meant that it understood that her identity was unusual.
This did surprise her a little.
She had never told anyone that she had a previous life, so how did this unknown consciousness know?
In her previous life, Natsuba Hanae hadn’t reached the later stages of this game, because the plot hadn’t reached the current level.
Of course, even if there was an existence that knew her identity…
Natsuba Hanae was not flustered at all. With her current power level, even if the other was a being stronger than a peak god, if it were to fight her…
If she fought at any cost, and was willing to pay any price, she would surely make it lose a tooth.
However, the situation was far from that.
According to Natsuba Hanae’s observation, the whisper was not clear, and was more like a subconscious feeling, as if it were a set program.
This represented that the owner of that will was either in a state of muddled consciousness, or in a state of slumber.
Natsuba Hanae had a guess about this.
The white orb clearly possessed some divinity, so the owner of the will was most likely also a god.
And the gods, due to the great war a thousand years ago, had all fallen into a slumber. Now, very few had awakened. The unknown consciousness also completely matched this point.
There was still a lot of time.
Although it had caused a slight ripple in her plan, it was still within a controllable range.
“Boom—————!”
Just as Natsuba Hanae was thinking, a vibrating sound suddenly echoed.
And what followed was Kamishiro Naraku’s sharp cry.
“Master of Summer Harvest Mountain!!!”
Kamishiro Naraku used his dark divinity to wrap himself and resist the erosion of the Great Sanctuary Heaven.
Moreover, the main target of the Great Sanctuary Heaven was not Kamishiro Naraku, but Ebisu. He was at most just enduring the aftershock.
But even so, his right half was covered in a Sanctuary Flame that was like a maggot on a bone, burning fiercely.
The life-saving Kamishiro Naraku was constantly activating his substitute for death ability.
And the supernatural beings on his body fell off like dumplings. Before they could completely fall to the ground, they were burned to ashes by the Sanctuary Flame.
Kamishiro Naraku’s long-accumulated supernatural beings were being rapidly consumed.
Although now that he had reached this stage, and with his own traits, he could create a certain amount of supernatural beings, that also required time.
And now, what he lacked was time.
In a battle with the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain, all his energy had to be used for the battle. He had no time to create supernatural beings.
Not only that, but now his back road had also been completely cut off.
If Ebisu were still alive, and with it as the main attacker, if Kamishiro Naraku found the situation was not right, he could have just run away.
Because Kamishiro Naraku felt that even if Ebisu were to fall into a disadvantage, the time for the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain to kill it would be very long, not a matter of a single day.
He had a lot of time to run away.
But he hadn’t expected that the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain wouldn’t play by the rules at all.
And had directly used a rule-breaking celestial phenomenon-like attack to kill Ebisu in one go, although it had given him some reaction time…
But he couldn’t use this reaction time to run away.
Because the incredibly vast attack range of the Great Sanctuary Heaven had clearly enveloped him as well.
When Kamishiro Naraku had barely escaped from the attack of the Great Sanctuary Heaven, his opportunity to escape had already disappeared.
Ebisu was dead, and the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain’s enemy was naturally only him.
But until now, Kamishiro Naraku felt that he was not without a chance. His current body was a genuine high-level god’s body.
And for some reason…
Perhaps it was because he had an extremely tenacious obsession with killing the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain…
Ebisu, before it had died, had actually given him a large part of its control over divinity. Clearly, it had placed its hopes on him to kill the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
He had been able to escape from the Great Sanctuary Heaven so quickly because his control over divinity had improved.
Not only that, but the control of divinity had also made his suppression of the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain’s crimson divinity become stronger and stronger, and he had suppressed the crimson divinity to a point where it was difficult to move.
His own combat ability had soared. He would use his soaring combat ability to launch a surprise attack on the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain.
Thinking of this, Kamishiro Naraku roared,
“Master of Summer Harvest Mountain!! Die for me!!!!”
His pure black eyes were as deep as ink, and they were so dense they seemed to be unable to reflect any light.
Kamishiro Naraku began to charge at Natsuba Hanae.
His movement speed was as before, the movement speed when he had only mastered a small part of his divinity. He wanted to make the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain let down her guard.
And to take a big loss with his soaring strength.
In this way, his chances of winning would continue to rise.
At this moment, on Kamishiro Naraku’s left fist, a powerful, dark aura wrapped around it like a tornado, and he fiercely struck at Natsuba Hanae!
To this, a faint light appeared in Natsuba Hanae’s red, glass-like beautiful eyes. She casually raised her left hand and blocked the left fist that Kamishiro Naraku had struck with.
“Boom——————!!”
A sudden, loud sound.
The clouds in the surrounding area were impacted by this force and spread outwards.
And Natsuba Hanae’s left hand did not move at all, and she firmly took Kamishiro Naraku’s attack perfectly.
“The Master of Summer Harvest Mountain has grown stronger again.”
A hidden thought flashed through Kamishiro Naraku’s mind. If it had been the original Master of Summer Harvest Mountain, to take this punch, although she wouldn’t be injured, she would have definitely retreated several steps.
But now, not even her left palm had changed.
However, Kamishiro Naraku did not show any shocked expression, because the force of his left fist was also the force before he had mastered a large part of his divinity.
This was to hide his real attack.
With a thought, Kamishiro Naraku launched his true, hidden attack.
“I’ll make you bleed too, Master of Summer Harvest Mountain!!”
Kamishiro Naraku’s right fist, which had been hidden behind him, suddenly erupted, carrying an endless, powerful, dark aura, as terrifying and deep as the nine hells.
Dozens of supernatural beings roared and shrieked inside his right fist, and they all shattered, and squeezed out their value to give Kamishiro Naraku’s punch a final enhancement.
Kamishiro Naraku had a premonition…
Even the current Natsuba Hanae could not take this punch, and would surely be seriously injured by it!
His lips began to curve into a twisted smile. He stared at Natsuba Hanae’s exquisite face, eagerly waiting to see what kind of wonderful expression she would have when she was injured.
However…
All he saw was a gentle smile, a gentle smile from beginning to end.
Natsuba Hanae’s lips slowly curved, and she said softly,
“You don’t think my strength is just this, do you?”
“Ignorant.”
Hearing this, Kamishiro Naraku’s pupils constricted sharply, and became as thin as a needle. Deep within his heart, a very bad feeling of fear suddenly arose.
In the next moment, the two fists collided.
“Boom——————————————!!!”
A punch that could be described as an explosion, like a thunderous roar, echoed, deafening and earth-shattering.
But Natsuba Hanae’s figure was as before, not retreating a single step, and not even a single tremble in her right fist.
Kamishiro Naraku’s painstaking plan, with this level of power, had become a joke.
And in the next moment, Natsuba Hanae’s right fist suddenly transformed into a palm, and she grabbed the other’s right fist, which was flowing with black blood, and fiercely pulled downwards, and Kamishiro Naraku’s figure was also pulled downwards.
A textbook-like knee strike, which erupted with a dazzling lightning light, came into close contact with Kamishiro Naraku’s face.
In an instant, Kamishiro Naraku’s head exploded like a watermelon, and black blood, like a hazy fine rain, splattered on the ground.
And he himself was immediately sent flying.
And what followed was not a dazzling lightning light, but a deathly, terrifying Sanctuary Flame, which spewed out like a dragon’s breath, and made the already seriously injured Kamishiro Naraku’s situation worse.
He barely stood up, his head enveloped in the Sanctuary Flame, and he couldn’t regenerate.
And so, his human face appeared on his chest, and his twisted face was filled with an incredulous and ferocious expression.
“How is that possible!”
“How is that possible!!!”
“Your physical strength, your rank, what’s going on?!!”
“This feeling is by no means a so-called mid-level god, but a high-level god! When did you advance?!!”
“And your advancement speed, why is it so fast?! This is completely against common sense!”
He had, by a twist of fate, used a heaven-defying luck to become a high-level god.
But the Master of Summer Harvest Mountain had achieved a triple jump, from a demigod at the peak of A-rank to a high-level god in a short time. This was simply a violation of the rules.
But Kamishiro Naraku’s thoughts were not wrong.
As of now, the power fluctuation that Natsuba Hanae had revealed had already reached the high-level god realm.
It was only after Natsuba Hanae and Kamishiro Naraku had officially started to attack each other that Kamishiro Naraku had sensed this.
As for why, when Natsuba Hanae had advanced to a high-level god, there had been no strange phenomena…
It was because when she had been advancing, she had used the Great Sanctuary Heaven.
From the beginning, the purpose of using the Great Sanctuary Heaven was not just to kill Ebisu, but also to cover up the scene of Natsuba Hanae advancing to a high-level god.
To make Kamishiro Naraku let down his guard and to give him a heavy blow.
In terms of scheming abilities, Natsuba Hanae was a professional.
Kamishiro Naraku’s so-called hiding of his strength was just child’s play in her eyes, not worth mentioning at all.
And Kamishiro Naraku’s current scene clearly represented that this plan had been exceptionally successful.
As for Natsuba Hanae breaking through to a high-level god, that was naturally a matter of course.
The vastness of her divinity was like the stars in the sky, countless. This was all thanks to the dedication of the pseudo-Susanoo.
Susanoo was a peak god.
And having devoured its two limbs, the amount of divinity Natsuba Hanae had was already more than a normal high-level god.
What she lacked was just a concept of a high-level god’s body.
Originally, this was something Natsuba Hanae would have to gradually understand on her own over time.
But she had encountered Kamishiro Naraku, who had the body of a high-level god.
When the crimson divinity devoured the body of a high-level god, it naturally also transported a continuous stream of the concept of a high-level god’s body to Natsuba Hanae.
This so-called reaching of a high-level god had also become quite simple.
Due to the appearance of the unknown consciousness, time had become a little tight.
And facing Kamishiro Naraku’s unchanging fighting posture, Natsuba Hanae could no longer get anything else from him. Her red, glass-like beautiful eyes were filled with annoyance.
And she said softly,
“Boring.”
“Kamishiro Naraku, your value to me is only that divinity.”
“After you’ve dedicated it to me, you can die in peace.”
With that, the crimson divinity that had originally been stopped on Kamishiro Naraku’s body began to rapidly climb again, and it occupied his body.
The expression on Kamishiro Naraku’s face was both terrified and twisted.
“No! No! No!!!”
“You can’t kill me! I can still use my supernatural being clones! My ability, even if I can’t kill you, I can still run away!!”
“Master of Summer Harvest Mountain, you’ll never catch me!!”
Kamishiro Naraku wanted to frantically run away, and wanted to use the divinity he had just mastered.
However…
The erosion of the crimson divinity had already occupied half his body. His two legs, which he wanted to frantically run away with, were stubbornly staying in place. He wanted to use his divinity to circulate, but when it reached the range of the crimson divinity, his divinity stagnated.
He was already at a dead end.
Natsuba Hanae would give him his release.
She took the Umbrella Sword from her single wing, which had transformed into a hand. The Sanctuary Flame of a high-level god, and a boiling, powerful golden lightning arc, all transformed into the power of this one sword strike.
“Annihilation.”
With a single sword strike, like thunder and fire, a scorching yet dark power, transformed into thousands of swords and attacked Kamishiro Naraku.
In the next moment…
Kamishiro Naraku had no time to react and was cut into countless pieces.
Even his soul was completely cut.
And he turned to dust…
