Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 237 The end is also the beginning

When the evil ghost crawled out of the rotten flesh and blood on the ground, gradually shed all its outer shell and returned to human form, the old body fell to the ground and lost all its strength.

Abe Seimei caught Igarashi in a flash, and then used a reversal technique to treat him. However, this was in vain. The latter was not completely dead just because Igarashi didn't want to die after being swallowed by the shikigami. As a result, they all ran out and made a mess on the battlefield.

Therefore, he held on to his last breath and refused to die immediately. Abe Seimei sighed and handed him over to the Fujiwara family, then turned around and began to deal with the battlefield with other magicians.

The poisonous blood of the Yamata no Orochi has soaked into the soil so much that the current cleanup can only have a very limited effect. A lot of the floating poisonous mist that has not been cleared has even gathered in the air to form clouds, and when mixed with water, I'm afraid a poisonous rain will fall soon.

The method of moving the battlefield is also very simple, that is, using magic to wrap the body of the big snake with earth and stone, and then move it together to the predetermined location.

Unlike ordinary curses, the remains of it will gradually dissipate after being killed. Perhaps because of its resurrection, the remains of Yamata no Orochi will not disappear until it is resurrected.

Therefore, if its remains are removed in a short time, the place where it will be resurrected will naturally be a new battlefield.

For example, the current battlefield is moving around Ping'an Capital, almost outside the city. The next battlefield is scheduled to be near a river in the suburbs. Although subsequent battles may cause the river to be destroyed, it is not the case now. When you care about these things, only if you win can you have the opportunity to care about them.

Just when several conjurers used their own spells to "roll up" the earth and rocks to wrap around the remains of the big snake, the accident happened.

What Yamata no Orochi obtained from Igarashi was the power of the shikigami it finally killed. Simply put, it swallowed, became stronger, and could deform its own body in unimaginable ways.

Eight sinister snake heads occupied the vision of almost everyone who was looking up at the demon's body on the ground. It was hard to tell in the dim sky whether a strong wind was caused by its movement.

But I couldn't bear the fact that the spellcaster's side had too much combat power. From restraint to anti-restraint spells, and then to the finale of top-level combat power, no matter how strong the existence was, as long as it leaked a weakness that could not be ignored, its death was already doomed.

Although the early resurrection of the snake is sudden, it is not beyond the scope of their response. Seriously speaking, this kind of battle to remove the curse is extremely rare.

If it was Su Nuo who had obtained the power of the Yamata, no... according to the original history, Su Nuo at his peak seemed to be able to fight against the current magic world, let alone the Yamata no Orochi. The resurrected demon Su Nuo.

Moreover, now that the conjurer's side has begun the final execution of the exorcism plan, all means are being used at this moment. If one area failed to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi, whose health bar has increased to a higher level, the next moment it will be another area. Seamlessly connected.

Without any greeting, after Yamata no Orochi was resurrected and poisonous rain fell from the sky, a new round of fighting began seamlessly.

So after several magicians on the ground expanded their fields one after another, the result was basically written.

It didn't take long for spells to become more prosperous. No matter how troublesome the curse spirits were in the past, it was impossible for all families to unite. Even if the curse disaster in Ojiang Mountain was of sufficient magnitude, the only difference was whether the Fujiwara family was willing to pay the price. .

Theoretically, Yamata no Orochi's head can lock almost all conjurers, but that is only theoretical. Among the nine people, there is always someone responsible for high-speed attacks, which involves their main energy.

Only the conjurers who had reached a certain level of spell power and mastered the reversal technique could stay, and the others were immediately forced to withdraw from the battlefield.

Clearance completed.

This is why even though Yamata-no-Orochi has terrifying abilities, Abe Seimei and others did not feel desperate after figuring out the effects of its spells. It is naturally difficult to kill it one-on-one with a few people.

But the two cannot be compared. To judge the difficulty of eradicating a curse is not only based on the pure spell strength, but also the wisdom and the extent to which it can be achieved are also very important indicators.

Once the speed increases, the effectiveness of that spell will drop sharply. If it is just a "heartache", it is nothing more than a "heartache" for these spell masters who are almost able to fly into the sky and escape.

But where did the curse or magician come from to let it eat? There are a few on the ground, but none of them are easy to get along with. They work in groups of two or three. Even if they are accidentally locked by the snake's magic eyes, their companions can quickly rescue them.

Then a purple rain curtain fell from the sky, and every drop of rain contained toxins in the blood of the Yamata no Orochi. As soon as the rain curtain fell, the already terrible battlefield instantly turned into a place of complete death.

Counting the magicians including Seimei, there are only nine people who can still stay on the battlefield. Of course, this is not all, because even now, they still have some power to deal with the mastermind behind all this. Prepare for unexpected situations that may arise.

The corpse inside suddenly started to squirm. Of course, this kind of movement magicians are already very familiar with it. It is a sign before the Yamata no Orochi is resurrected!
"Its resurrection time is still shortening!"

But there was no time to think about this. After the huge body circled, danced and stretched out, the familiar figure once again stood on the earth.

Abe Seimei's eyes narrowed. From the initial long interval until everyone thought the snake was dead, until it shortened again and again to the extremely short interval of less than ten breaths, wouldn't it be necessary to crawl out of the corpse immediately?

In an instant, it can be said that the earth was shattered, the mountains and rivers were pale, and the barrier at the edge had long been shattered. From the collision between the two sides, it was no longer possible to see that this area was once a populated land.

In the end... amid the roar of Yamata-no-Orochi, which had nearly half of its body broken into pieces, most of its final body turned into soil at a speed visible to the naked eye, and of course the soil could no longer support its life activities.

Then, as expected, in the next moment, the body was shattered into pieces, and the seventh kill was completed.

With the experience of the last time, everyone did not relax this time, keeping the giant thing mixed with the flesh, blood and soil on the ground. Seimei once again summoned the big bird shikigami, and under the spread of its wings, a burst of The strong wind blew away a lot of the poisonous mist.

Then, as expected, the corpses on the ground began to move again. The "residues" on the ground, regardless of each other, all began to dissolve, eventually forming a large dark red blood lake on the ground.

Amid everyone's vigilance and preparedness, a "line" suddenly appeared in the blood lake. It appeared in the center of the lake almost from beginning to end at the same time. Then the line was divided into two and connected end to end. The middle part was A gradually widening arc separates to both sides.

Its full picture was finally revealed in front of everyone, it was...a pupil!
The next moment, the ridiculously large eyes turned and locked on the magicians. Then the blood lake shattered, and "mountains" rose from the ground, breaking through and smashing the blood splashing in the air. Behind the scenes, the familiar figure appeared again. .

Abe Seimei immediately activated the "Replacement Technique", and a spell spirit turned into a doll by a spell took his place. The latter was locked by the eyes falling from the sky, and was originally a weak spell used to replace disasters. The spirit was immediately taken away from life by the activated spell.

"This guy... each time he is resurrected, his spell power and spell strength are also enhanced!"

Seimei, who had escaped the first wave of attacks, raised his hand and summoned the shikigami that could truly participate in the spell battle. It was a huge winged white tiger that "jumped" out from behind him. Several people were crammed in at the same time. But just like that, it appeared from behind Seimei, who was the height of an ordinary person. After fully revealing its figure, the giant tiger spread its wings and flew towards Yamata no Orochi before the roar could be heard.

There was no claw attack or bite, the giant tiger just bumped into it, and before Yamata no Orochi's body made real contact with it, and the distance between the two sides was still a little, the latter suddenly exploded with countless flesh and blood. .

If he hadn't dodged in time, one-eighth of the snake's head would have been cut off. Then the giant tiger launched its real attack. Its claws and claws were used together, and even its pair of wings and its iron whip-like tail were all damaged. Joined the offensive.

No matter which part it is, before it actually comes into contact with the snake's body, it can invisibly break its body and chop up large pieces of flesh and blood.

Blade with one's body
This is the ability of this tiger-form god. The effect can and can only act on itself and part of the controller. The specific manifestation is that the body seems to be covered with a layer of "blade".

Even a mediocre slap with the palm can "cut" open iron, stone and fine steel. The advantage is that it is extremely difficult to deal with in close combat. After all, you are no longer fighting a person or a curse spirit, but a weapon all over your body. A bladed weapon.

The disadvantage is that it cannot be used for long-range attacks, and it is not easy to deal with some weird enemies. It is only suitable for frontal close-up killing, and it is just right for dealing with Yamata no Orochi of this size.

However, although this winged tiger comes and goes quickly and its momentum is unstoppable, the body's healing ability of the Yamata no Orochi at this moment has reached an extremely exaggerated level. Judging from the former's size and destruction speed, I am afraid that it is still difficult to kill this demon. Somewhat difficult.

But this was not a fair battle. With a loud shout, a magician who had been preparing for a long time finally completed a terrifying trap.

His technique can turn the objects "impregnated" with his ability into powerful bombs, so with the cooperation of another person, he replaced the created destruction objects underground, which was exactly what Yamata no Orochi did. underground.

unfair replacement
A very lethal spell that can exchange two objects affected by the spell. The power of the object also determines whether the caster can perform the spell remotely or must use touch.

Previously, part of Yamata no Orochi's body turned into soil because he had touched it with his own hands. The killing effect was also very obvious. The replaced material would only become the original appearance of the target form, but of course the internal composition could not be the same. Yes, how can soil be the same as flesh and blood?
Generally speaking, if the body is replaced with such a dead object, the target can basically be sentenced to death. As long as it hits, it is almost equivalent to losing a part of your body out of thin air.

Even if the torso and internal organs are not involved, the lack of hands and feet is still a fatal disadvantage in a spell battle.

Now they must end this round of battle before Yamata no Orochi uses this technique to pose a fatal threat to them, and the method chosen by the conjurers is also very simple, that is, to expand the field.

Because this spell is considered a "must hit" in a sense, if you want to avoid being locked by the opponent's spell in battle, it's very simple, just expand the area.

The domain that can be regarded as one with the caster will disrupt the locking of this type of spell. Originally, if you were hit, you might need to miss a few parts, but now it will become like a piece of flesh being dropped if you accidentally hit it. .

There is no need to worry about half of the body suddenly turning into soil and dying instantly. At the same time, after expanding the field, you can use the enhanced spell to cause enough damage and end the round as soon as possible.

This was the plan that Abe Seimei and others had previously formulated. Yamata no Orochi, who was only a few lives away, had to fight quickly. Even if he had to pay some price, he must kill the latter as soon as possible.

The combination of multiple spells means more variables. As time goes by, more people may die, and then we will really be in a desperate situation.

Under the lock of the "death-suffocating eyes" of several heads of the Yamata no Orochi, a magician was unable to dodge and was locked up. Under the influence of the suddenly increased power of the magic, the man involuntarily lost strength and paused.

Then the snake heads came in and blocked his escape route. With just a touch, half of the man's face began to lose the color of flesh and blood, and instantly turned into half a lifelike clay sculpture face.

Instant kill.

Against the attacks of others, Yamata no Orochi killed another person before pulling in the unexpanded area. The giant tiger summoned by Seimei was temporarily unable to launch an effective offensive due to excessive reorganization of its body.

At this time, the shouts were connected, and everyone unanimously chose to move away from a certain distance, not only to prevent being "touched" by Yamata no Orochi, but also to avoid being affected by the subsequent terrorist explosion.

The eve of destruction is the ultimate tranquility. In fact, it is caused by the senses slowing down under the extremely violent impact and filtering out useless information.

The same was true for everyone at this moment. In the dead silence of the trance, the body of Yamata no Orochi suddenly arched up, and the firelight escaped from its coiled body. Whether it was flesh, blood or anything else, it began to disintegrate indiscriminately at this moment. ,dissipate.

The explosion trap prepared for a long time is even much stronger than the explosion created by the magician at once. This demon does not know what it is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. On the way of its attack, even if there is a sharp edge, it will Hit it without hesitation.

This kind of trap is naturally very effective for him. After the fire light dissipated, only the tattered figure shrouded in poisonous mist was left. Although the squirming flesh and blood was being repaired quickly, the horrific injuries could not be faked.

While you are sick, I will kill you.

The Yamata no Orochi, regardless of whether it was seriously injured or not, also launched an offensive with the part that could still move. The two sides began to attack regardless of the cost. One side continued to reduce its numbers, but there were those from the rear who had eliminated the accumulated poison and rejoined the battlefield. Replenish.

If a party doesn't know the threat of death, even if most of its body is turned into a pile of rotten flesh, it can still launch a destructive offensive.

In the end...killed by a magician's long-range spell, Yamata no Orochi finally stopped all its life activities and collapsed in the broken and shapeless battlefield.

"Is it coming?"

Abe Seimei has already lost four shikigami. They are all top-level combatants and not dispensable. This is also a big harm to him.

But the real battle is probably about to begin.

……

The light has arrived.
