Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

"Yeah, although I don't know how to describe it, but I do have this feeling. Well, how should I put it, there is a feeling that everything is distorting and collapsing, even if it looks normal on the surface, I can feel it Where it goes against common sense.”

Aliangliang Muli said while thinking about it.

"It's like a dead body made up by an embalmer to make it look like it was in life. No matter how lifelike it looks, the dead air still can't dissipate. It's the same here. Behind the surface calm, the very familiar dead silence is Nothing can hide it."

Shinobu Oshino who was sitting on Araragi's shoulder also added.

In fact, I want to say that the senses presented in this virtual world are too real, not that this town is really unreal.Jiang Ming really wanted to explain, but the atmosphere in front of him became more serious, so he didn't bother to continue talking.

It's a pity that my magic weapons can't be brought in, tsk, in this case, I can only rely on spiritual power to fight.Jiang Ming's expression became slightly distressed.

Among the crowd, only Virgil remained silent, calmly staring at the front, that is, the destination they were heading for, the distant buildings looming in the darkness.According to Oshino Shinobu's judgment, the drop of blood she left behind was in that distant city.

However, this feeling is really... Even with such a long distance, I can feel a strong mental wave.

Pain, despair, madness, viciousness, intertwined desire and destructive cruelty intertwined and merged with each other, unconsciously exuding extremely terrifying fluctuations.It's just that it's difficult for ordinary people to sense this kind of thing, so other people basically don't have any reaction. Of course, it is also possible that they have sensed it but have no thought or expression about it.

Heh, the enemies we face this time might be very interesting.

A smile appeared on the corner of Virgil's mouth.

"There's someone ahead."

Oshino Shinobi who was in charge of leading the way suddenly spoke.

"Is it another team that entered this twisted world?"

Jiang Ming stepped forward cautiously while talking.

Tsuchyumen had already stated before that Jiang Ming's team was not the only one participating in this operation.

The hidden organization recruited a considerable number of unorganized people through intermediaries to carry out this operation, and strive to solve the problem safely.Therefore, it is only natural that they will meet other people after entering here.

"No, it seems that he is no longer human."

The next sentence came from the mouth of Aliangliang Kili whose expression became serious.

The sound of shambling footsteps sounded from the front of the street.

A bloodied man walked out wearing what looked like some kind of special combat uniform, groaning and staggering forward.

The moment he saw Jiang Ming and the others, the man's face showed a hopeful expression, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand, and opened his mouth to say something, struggling forward.But soon, before he took a few steps, something appeared from behind, and a huge sharp bone spur pierced the man's body in an instant. Drag him into the corner of the street.

"Tsk!"

Kamijou Touma subconsciously wanted to go forward to chase, but Jiang Ming immediately stopped the boy's movement.Immediately afterwards, several sharp and huge bone spurs protruded rapidly from the corner of the street, directly piercing through the concrete floor.Obviously, if Kamijou Touma had stepped forward just now, these bone spurs would have hit him.

"Looks like the hell's welcome ceremony for us has arrived."

Amidst Jiang Ming's teasing voice, the thing revealed its real body from the corner of the street.

It was a wriggling huge thing, and a large number of human figures connected by flesh and blood could be seen on the body like a meat ball.All of these people seemed to be alive, still howling and screaming, wriggling and trying to escape.What's even more weird is that from the flesh and blood connected by these people, one can see the outlines of human hands, feet or faces squeezed out of the skin, as if many people were trapped in the skin and tried hard to struggle come out.

Bone spurs like spider legs protruded from this huge thing to support this monster of flesh and blood so that it could stand upright without falling down. At the moment this thing appeared, Jiang Ming and others saw it just now. The man was sent into the fleshy ball in the middle by a bone spur, and those fused people immediately stretched out their hands, grabbed the man, and sucked him into the flesh and blood amidst his wailing.

Immediately, it can be seen that the size of this thing has grown a little.

"Is this the monster in this spiritual world?"

Aliangliang Muli nervously grasped the [Xindu] handed to him by Shinobu Oshino.

"I don't know if it's because my tolerance is getting higher, or because I've seen a lot of this stuff recently, I always have a feeling of 'this is it'."

Jiang Ming scratched his head and said.

"That's not bad."

Virgil took a step forward at the next moment and pulled out Yan Mo Dao.The long and narrow blade strengthened with the movement of Virgil's hand, reflecting half of his face.

"Let's have some fun."

boom -

In the next second of roaring, several monsters like this flesh and blood spider broke out from the surrounding buildings, howling and facing the several people present in the flying rubble.These monsters that have been fused and spliced ​​together seem to have a certain degree of rationality, and they actually know how to join forces to ambush the living.

Only this time, they obviously picked the wrong opponent.

"Stay where you are, and—"

The blue knife light drew an arc, and with the dancing figure of the silver-haired man, it suddenly cut torn bloodstains on these monsters.

"Kneel before me!"

In the next second, countless sword lights erupted directly on the bodies of these monsters.

Amidst the wailing, the bone spurs that kept these things standing were cut off directly, and they fell to the ground one by one.

[Don't... help me...]

【It hurts...It hurts...It hurts...】

[Gululu Gululu... melted away... the body melted away...]

One voice after another, one after another rang out.

Smaller bone spurs protruded from the distorted flesh and blood, and the huge piece of flesh was torn apart at this moment, turning into a small spider monster with three or four people fused together, and rushed towards the crowd with howls.In just the blink of an eye, four or five large monsters directly turned into hundreds of small spiders, densely crowded together, rushing forward as if to challenge the fragile nerves of patients with trypophobia .

"Everyone, protect yourselves!"

Jiang Ming stepped forward suddenly, and said with a smile.

If the magic weapon can't be used, then it's been a long time and fight like a normal immortal cultivator.

【Spiritual Realm · Energy Level Transfer】

A faint white shimmer was released from around Jiang Ming's body.

Araragi Koryo and Oshino Shinobu who were fighting with the Demon-Breaking Sword, and Kamijou Touma who turned his arm into a dragon to meet the enemy, at this moment felt a certain power pouring into his body, whether it was strength, speed or reaction Strength, even the consumption rate of physical strength and energy, has dropped greatly at this moment.

"Thank you."

"Jiang Ming, you have to be careful too."

"You guy, don't you see that you still have some abilities."

In the words, a large number of monsters have rushed forward at this moment.

Aliangliang Muli did not advance rashly, but took a step back, and the [Xindu] in his hand slashed forward, directly cutting open an incoming monster.The severed monster turned into ashes and disappeared on the spot without even making a scream, as if it had never existed.

On the other side, Kamijou Touma had already smashed a flesh and blood monster into the air with a punch. With a loud bang, Longhua's arm sent the opponent flying tens of meters away, smashing the wall and falling into the ruins of the building. among.

【Earth Control Art·Earth Wave】

Jiang Ming stepped on the ground suddenly at this moment, and the earth vibrated with the transmission of spiritual power. At the next moment, it surged like a sea tide, sweeping up a large number of monsters in an instant, and flying them into the air.

Virgil's figure quickly passed these mid-air monsters in the next second.

"It looks a little bit better."

As he spoke, he pulled out the Broken Knife and wrapped up a few monsters not far away and threw them away. Virgil turned around and commented on Jiang Ming.

"Please, I spent a lot of money contacting various immortal cultivators. If the tricks and cheats I got in exchange are of no use at all, I won't let it go!"

【Water Royal Art·June Rain】

Swinging his arms, the rain curtain all over the sky stopped at this moment with Jiang Ming's strength, instantly tore apart the monster rushing in front of him, rolled it into the air, and turned into pieces of meat when it landed, and began to dissipate slowly.

"Jiang Ming? When did you know so many things?!"

Don't you always like to use all kinds of weird magic weapons, especially that insole?

Kamijou Touma really wanted to complain like this.

"Hey, I can fight seriously, okay? It's just that the magic weapon is more convenient when I have a choice."

While speaking, a large number of monsters had already rushed forward.

【Flame and Soil Shuangyu · Burning Fist】

He punched the ground suddenly, and the extended spiritual power wrapped these rocks around Jiang Ming's fist to form a glove, and then the high temperature burned the surface of the rock into a dark red color.The scorching heat even evaporated the surrounding rainwater, causing a circle of water mist to appear around Jiang Ming.

"Hey!"

The roaring punch directly smashed a charging monster into pieces in the next moment.

In the crackling sound, Jiang Ming's figure kept moving forward in the flames and evaporating mist. His hands and feet were constantly fused with the rock, followed by the surface of the rock being ignited by high temperature again, like a big human-shaped fireball rushing into it. In the group of monsters, burn all the monsters along the way.

"Are you an idiot? You only know how to mess around."

Virgil, who was disturbed by the fog created by Jiang Ming's attack, let out a dissatisfied voice at this moment.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's rare to have such a good fighting chance, anyway, just treat it as my gift to you, take it!"

【Earth Control Art·Earth Shake】

The burning rock formation roared and hit the ground in the next moment.

The bursting air wave knocked all the monsters within dozens of meters into the air, dancing wildly and flying into the air.

"If one of them lands, you'll have to treat me to a big meal."

Jiang Ming's voice came from afar in the evaporating mist.

"Hmph, are you going to use this little thing to test me?"

In the indifferent voice, the Yan Mo knife in Virgil's hand closed the scabbard.

A quiet and stern aura swept away from this proud man in the next second.

"Show me, my power——is absolute!"

Space, stopped at the next moment.

One after another, the blades are superimposed at a super high speed that even light can't catch up with. At this moment, the space mastering power of Yan Mo Dao was brought to the extreme by Virgil. Countless attacks seemed to use up countless time, and then As if in the blink of an eye.When Jiang Ming saw Virgil again, he had already seen him fall to the ground, and slowly retracted the blade in his hand into the scabbard again.

click!

Then, at the moment when the blade was completely put into the scabbard, countless bursts of sword light finally tore apart all the monsters in mid-air.Not even a piece of broken meat was left, not even a trace of blood fell on the ground, the man used this method to show his strength in a high-profile manner.

In the silent town, the sound of such fighting can be heard quite far away.

"Did you hear that, Neo?"

A little farther away, a woman in black wearing sunglasses looked at her companion beside her.

"I heard quite clearly, Trinity, it seems that there are other powerful people coming here."

Standing beside the woman, a man who was also wearing sunglasses and looked very capable, nodded and said.
