My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

"She has fair skin and long hair, a distinguished appearance, and is good at using a strong bow.

Whether on horseback or on foot, she never misses a shot.

She worries all gods and ghosts. She is a hero who can defeat a thousand with one man."

--"The Tale of the Heike" Volume 9 [Kiso's Death]

---

Riding a horse from the Age of Gods, the silver-haired, red-eyed woman carries a large red bow on her back and gallops along the banks of the Euphrates. Her face is covered in dust and blood and filled with anxiety.

It's too fast.

It seems that the northern city, which was peaceful yesterday, has suddenly fallen into a hell of fighting between beasts and humans. The four major cities of Eshnanna, Sipa, Kish, and Kazaru are in urgent need of help. Even though these generals are proud of their unparalleled martial arts, they are now in a desperate situation.

Lord Amakusa went to Xipa, Lord Fuma rushed to Kish for support, and when she was fighting with the general of the monsters, the evil spirit Um Dabrutu, in Kazaru City, the emergency signal device from Eshnanna was already screaming.

The other two generals did not respond, or they were too late to respond. Only she exchanged her wounds for death, forcibly exorcised the undead that called for the raging rain, and then rushed to the sending point without stopping.

Is it in time? Can the warriors support her until she arrives?

And after arriving, can she defeat the elite monsters with injuries?

Is the rescue signal sent out a trap set by the enemy?

Thoughts ran wild in her mind, and even the warrior's intuition became uneasy, and then became numb, and all she could do was grit her teeth and rush forward regardless of everything.

As a servant, she had already prepared to die in battle, but before that, she could save more people with her own hands - this was the meaning of her crossing time and space and coming here!

The bloody hound arrow burned her eyes.

"Shh!" With a shake of the reins, the horse was immediately pulled by the huge force, and raised its front hooves in pain, and the fierce arrow cut a blood groove on its chest and shot into the earth. The reflected cold light was like a warning, staring coldly at the generals who came from afar.

"Who is it?" She clenched the bow behind her, as if a candle was lit in the woman's eyes, and an abnormal bulge grew on her forehead. "The monster will never use a bow and arrow. Only [the eleven children of Tiamat] have such wisdom - is it the mermaid Kululu, or the giant sun Ugar?"

No one responded, and Tomoe Gozen no longer delayed, but stroked the horse and urged it to move forward.

No matter who the enemy is, her mission will not change.

However, as she crossed the dividing line, the scene that came into her eyes made the brave women who were used to the battlefield open their eyes wide and forget to speak for a moment.

Corpses, corpses, corpses.

Some with limbs chopped off, some minced into meat, some destroyed by thunder, some pierced by arrows, some swallowed by unknown mysteries...

Blood, blood, blood, blood.

The pungent smell of blood filled the battlefield, making people feel suffocated, "Is there any extra oxygen left here?" This stimulation engraved in the ancient genes made Tomoe Gozen, who had the blood of the devil flowing in his body, breathe more heavily, and the red horns on his head became more ferocious.

Am I late?

No one expects the soldiers to die, but no one believes that in this sea of ​​corpses and blood, weak humans can survive.

Just like a howling storm, when it passes, everything will fall into equal destruction, whether good or bad.

The horse waded through the bloody stream, following the scattered bronze fragments along the way, and saw the broken limbs of humans, the dug out organs, and the heads of the dead... When Tomoe Gozen's heart became colder and colder, she finally heard a hoarse voice in the whistling wind.

"Is it... General Tomoe Gozen?"

Someone is alive!

The woman was refreshed and rode forward: "What's the situation? And what's going on here..."

"Ah, General, be careful, don't come over!"

"!!!"

The moment she realized the crisis, Tomoe pulled the reins and narrowly avoided the crossed weapons with superb horsemanship, and was still frightened: "What's going on?"

"It was a young man who saved us in the crisis and set up a barrier here to protect us."

In the trench on the verge of destruction, the centurion with a bandage on his arm smiled bitterly. Although he was alive, there was not much joy in his eyes: "At first, we thought that the one who saved us was a brave man like the general, but..."

After a pause, the centurion did not say the next words. He just raised his hand and signaled Tomoe to look in a certain direction with his eyes.

Tomoe raised his eyes and then noticed the turbulent battlefield.

And the heroic laughter that came to his face.

"Haha, ah ha ha ha!"

It was a roar that made people's blood boil just by listening to it. The murderous spirit and killing intent turned into a storm, whistling past, invading the enemy's body and spirit. The lion dogs roared angrily, but when the young man's vertical pupils burning with spiritual flames swept over, they fell to the ground, only whimpering.

But begging for mercy would not save you. With the metallic whistling of the Dusk Demon Sword, the bloodthirsty demon dragon glanced down from the void, and the spiritual flames swept across, setting off a tragic blood light.

The engine was running, and the roar was raised to a loud range. The red and black steel warhorse flew out, and the young man on it laughed happily. His face was solemn and his spirit fire was bright. He drove straight in an instant and split the monsters on both sides in two at a speed that no one could match!

The children fed by the goddess of monsters with innocent flesh and blood and watered with hateful blood - those monsters had claws that tore steel and fangs that chiseled through wood and stone, but in front of the young man's double swords, they were as fragile as ants. As long as they were stepped on, they would usher in the end of destruction!

"Wake up from the dream of gold, and be liberated from the cradle--"

The blue gems shone, and the true ether evaporated into mist, which spread out with the young man's waving. In the world dyed blood red by the dusk, the monsters roared uneasily, and then saw the dark blue spirit flames burning, like ink dripping in the destruction.

"Death has come, all of you will be killed!" The magic power exploded, turning into an evil dragon with its wings spread. It rose from the sky, looked down from the air, and then rushed down!

"Fantasy Great Sword·Demon Lost!"

"Wait?!" Tomoe Gozen's face changed drastically. She suddenly understood the reason for the soldiers' fear, "We are also within the attack range!"

But it was too late. Before the sound was transmitted, the disaster of destruction had already fallen.

Boom!

The dusk-colored air wave rose from the ground, and the shrill waves surged and swept, turning into a tide, rising into the sky and surging in all directions.

Wherever the blazing light and shadow went, everything quickly stiffened and withered. Before the storm of magic arrived, it quickly peeled off and withered into fine dust.

Just like the tide coming and going, the world is changing. The monsters that survived the massacre were submerged by the raging torrent, disintegrating and collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally even their skeletons were greedily devoured. When this wave of destruction swept to the side of the chariot, the soldiers shouted in fear, staring blankly at the death that was close at hand, but was blocked outside the barrier, and Tomoe's face was pale, he abandoned his bow and changed to a sword, slashed out of the trench with the strange power of the ghost species, and then quickly hid in it.

What was left in my mind was an absurd thought.

I won't be killed by the AOE of suspected friendly forces, and return to the Throne of Heroes in humiliation like this?

The next moment, she lost consciousness in the tsunami of destruction.

The sound was too noisy and chaotic. When it broke through a certain limit, it seemed that nothing could be heard. Even the picture projected on the retina became chaotic, like an old TV with poor signal, with only snowflakes on the screen.

—— Nothing can heal the pain, only time.

Time can slowly smooth all this out, or simply give people peace through death.

Don't die just because of friendly fire or something like that!

In the indescribable nausea and dizziness, Tomoe Gozen simply closed her eyes. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt her body lighten, and the turbulence and rays that hit her body seemed to have gone away, and then she was pulled up from the trench.

"I never thought that someone could survive within the coverage of the treasure. Your physique and battlefield qualities saved you, Miss."

The platinum light lit up, quickly repairing the scars on her body, and even the old wounds from the fierce battle with Um Dabrutu were eliminated. Tomoe Gozen opened her candle-like eyes, and what came into view was the cold and solemn white bone face.

But the man wearing this bone mask was not cold. His tone was relaxed and gentle, like the breeze blowing across the battlefield: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice someone breaking into the battlefield, causing you unnecessary harm."

"No, it's okay." Tomoe Gozen stepped back a few steps to avoid direct contact, then bowed solemnly, "We should thank you. No matter what, you saved the soldiers on my behalf... uh, although the method is not good for the heart."

The general, whose temperament was as gentle as Yamato Nadeshiko, couldn't help but glance at the soldiers in the trenches again. After facing the devastating disaster, many soldiers had foamed at the mouth. Even if they were unconscious, their faces were still twitching. Only the centurion and a few tough guys could hold on, but their expressions and eyes were silently telling what it meant to be "nothing to live for."

"On your behalf... Hmm, so that's it, is it a general from Uruk?" Shuoyue nodded slightly. He looked at the woman with fair skin and beautiful appearance, but always revealing a sense of melancholy, and thought for a moment.

"Could it be Tomoe?"

"Ah, huh?!" Tomoe's eyes widened when her real name was revealed. "Yes, my name is Tomoe - but how did you know?"

"Just call me Shuoyue." Shuoyue replied with a mysterious smile, even though the young general could not see it. "By the way, can you still fight, General Tomoe?"

"Huh?" Tomoe's mind was full of question marks. "Of course you can, what's wrong?"

Shuoyue did not answer, because the dark beast tide thousands of miles away told Tomoe the answer. Although the previous treasure swept across a radius of thousands of meters, how vast is the northern plain of Mesopotamia? Looking around, the boundaries of heaven and earth converged into a line.

The commander of the monster army, the scorpion sage Kitablil, saw this point and used the last survivor of Eshnanna to set a trap, waiting for the generals of Uruk to fall into the trap.

Although the plan had twists and turns due to Ugar's loss of patience and Shuo Yue's intrusion, the final result did not change - as the general guarding the north wall, Tomoe Gozen stepped into the trap, and all the monsters in the northern city had already Gather here.

So what if all the monsters within a thousand meters are cleared? During her long dormancy, the Goddess of Warcraft gave birth to more than a million sons of Tiamat!

Now, following Kitabril's order, a mighty tide of beasts surrounded them from all directions, grinding their teeth to suck blood and roaring repeatedly, just like a slowly closing net, trying to tear apart the tiny humans. Broken into pieces and swallowed into the belly.

In an instant, the offensive and defensive momentum was different!

"Sure enough, is it a trap..." Facing the army of monsters that he didn't even dare to count, Ba Yuqian took a deep breath, then turned to Shuo Yue, and said sonorously and forcefully.

"Your Excellency Shuo Yue, let's escape! With the strength of you and me, we will definitely be able to lead everyone out of the siege!"

"Such a decisive decision was made to retreat, and the soldiers who heard Ba Yuqian's words not only did not feel disappointed, but nodded fiercely in agreement.

There are too many enemies!

Even if they simply march, the earth will tremble. Even if they form a shield formation, once they are overturned to the ground, they don't even need to bite them. They can just step on the bodies of the soldiers and trample them into pieces with a few steps. Meat puree.

To defeat Uridim, the weakest lion dog, several soldiers must risk their lives, the giant sun Ugal, and even the servants must go all out. But looking at this dense beast tide, the seven-headed snake Mu Shumafu, the poisonous dragon Bashum, the Dragon of Babylon Mushuhushu...these children of God Tiamat almost came out in droves!

After all, there are only a few extraordinary strong men like Shuo Yue. They fight in the desperate beast tide, fight to the death to win a glimmer of life, or are overwhelmed by it and become a victim - this is the main theme of the generous tragedy in the absolute monster front!

"Your Excellency Shuoyue!" Seeing the young man's delay, Ba Yuqian couldn't help but become anxious, "There is no time to hesitate. I understand how you want to kill the monster. If allowed, Ba also wants to fight to the end... But, we Your mission is not to kill, but to protect!”

"If we can't protect people, our existence is meaningless!"

Listening to the female general's sincere words, Shuo Yue blinked and looked at her candle-colored eyes and increasingly slender ghost horns, suddenly enlightened.

So, in the original story, it was because you failed to save this group of soldiers that you entered the siege in anger, and died together with the scorpion sage Kitabril?

What a woman who is so virtuous, it would be a pity to disappear before Fujimaru arrives.

"Three words." The young man raised his finger. "If I still can't persuade you after I finish speaking, I will give up my idea and fully assist you in retreating."

"Give up, Lord Shuo Yue, you can't convince me..." Just as Ba Yuqian was about to refuse, Shuo Yue interrupted her.

"First, with so many magical beasts, the scorpion sage Kitabril will definitely personally command them - this is a rare opportunity to take his head."

"Of course I know this, but just the two of us..."

"Secondly, compared to a warrior, I am actually a magician. In your words, I am an onmyoji of the same level as Abe Seimei."

"Well, even so, there are still soldiers..."

"Third, the barrier I set up will never be broken within five minutes unless the leader of the monsters appears in person."

"..."

Looking at the speechless Ba Yuqian, Shuo Yue tilted her head and hid the smile on her face: "How about it, do you still want to leave now?"

"...You have completely convinced me, Your Excellency." Shuo Yue was not allowed to wait too long. When he found that he had no worries, Tomoe no longer suppressed the instinct of the ghost bloodline. In the bright light, a burning flame appeared on the girl's body. Great armor with flames.

"Then, I will entrust all my bows and swords to you!"

Holding the big bow wrapped in flames, Ba Yuqian was about to get on his horse, but was stopped by Shuo Yue. The young man shook his head slightly, then knelt down on one knee with his palms on the ground.

"Born from the earth (mother), swallowed by wind (wisdom), filled with water (life)."

The congratulations were loud, and the monsters seemed to have sensed some kind of threat, and accelerated their charge in agitation. Looking at the increasingly approaching ferocious beasts, the young man responded with a sneer.

"You may be a ball of clay, but you are not a ball of clay. Although you are a human being, you are not a human being. You are the one who stands in Paradise and rules the Paradise. You are our dream, our hope, and our love."

The ground rumbled, and under Ba Yuqian's soft cry of surprise, the original giant rose up from the ground, and with one foot stepped on it, it crushed the monsters into pulp.

"Embrace the Holy Spirit, you are called the original man (Adam)!"

Standing on the giant's shoulders, Shuo Yue looked far into the distance and locked onto the cold-faced Warcraft Sage hiding behind the beast tide.

"The prey is within reach, Tomoe Gozen, can you follow me?"

"I can't wait, Your Excellency!" The heroic young general with silver hair laughed. She jumped up easily and stood on the other side of the giant, overlooking the monsters that were clinging to Adam's ankles and swarming up with roars.

Then, take a deep breath intoxicated.

"It's such a nostalgic smell of the battlefield, as sweet as the ale I drank with the generals the night before!"

"Oh, then after you cut off the enemy's head, you must treat me to the best wine in Uruk, General Ba."

"Haha, of course - as long as you can take the first credit from me!"

Even though the enemy was already close at hand, the black-robed youth and the heroic general were still chatting and laughing. Some blind beasts jumped up and roared towards them, but what was waiting for them was not fresh flesh and blood, but sharp blades and arrows piercing their heads.

"It seems that our enemies can't wait." Shuoyue shook the knife and shook off the sticky blood, "What a coincidence -"

"Because we are the same." Ba Yuqian bent his bow and arrow, his posture was heroic and murderous, "I have begun to look forward to the moment of triumphant return!"

The sword and arrow cut through the sky, bursting out dazzling brilliance.

The opponent is the scorpion sage Kitablil and the disaster beast tide that swept across the north.

The team that was going to challenge them was a two-man assault team, but both Tomoe Gozen, a warrior, and Sakutsuki, a magician, showed excitement and enthusiasm in their eyes.

Just like that, amid the roar of the giants, they headed towards the hell of mankind!
