"I don't have much time, so let's finish it quickly." Xia Youjie stretched out a finger, with some regret in his words.

Chapter 8 The role of Keja

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge worm exploded instantly and turned into a dozen small worms that shot towards Soma Josuke.

Although they are small, each one is basically as thick and long as Souma Josuke's thigh, and the mouthparts are the size of a fist. If they are bitten, they may lose the ability to resist.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Every time these worms attacked, Soma Josuke had to dodge them with great difficulty. If he hadn't increased his speed before, he might have finished it now.

Kazan's induction allows him to predict the attack paths of these worms in advance. If you just look at the spell radar, it's like playing a bullet-dodging airplane game.

Kazan moved almost simultaneously with Soma Josuke's body. He did not exclude these curse spirits from the amplification target. He no longer had the energy to do this.

Since Xia Youjie summoned this curse spirit to catch him, then this curse spirit must have the power to crush him.

It doesn't actually make that big a difference whether it increases or not. He must not be hit as a prerequisite.

Time is passing little by little, and he is still half way from completing his mission.

【00:00:30】

【00:00:29】

......

In fact, when the system first gave him the option, he didn't think there was any point in persisting for one minute.

Even if he gets two more shikigami, he won't be able to gain the strength to fight against Xia Youjie.

If Xia Youjie was really that easy to deal with, he wouldn't be rated as a special-level guy.

But now, he has a new guess...

This 1 minute may not be his own time limit, but Xia Youjie can only stay here for a little time due to some reasons.

"Sōma-kun, I didn't expect your senses to be so sensitive. You can even dodge attacks from blind angles."

"Hmph, I am a terrifying existence who can clear the plane battle in one life."

Now even if it can be delayed for 0.5 seconds, it will be good.

This sentence without beginning or end made Xia Youjie stunned for a moment.

But he didn't think about what it meant, and he didn't need to.

"It's time to end."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge spider-shaped curse spirit appeared next to Xia Youjie, and aimed at Souma Josuke and fired three consecutive shots.

Three spider webs were approaching him quickly from the front.

"Covering attack!"

If there weren't a dozen worms running around around him, he might still be able to leave this area with his speed, but now...

It's a pity that I'm not really playing airplane war, so naturally I don't have insurance...

He had no doubt at all what would happen if he was trapped in a spider web.

Seeing the spider web slowly approaching, Souma Josuke was helpless.

If you can avoid this wave of attacks...

Avoid... I really want to avoid...

Just when the spider web was about to touch Soma Josuke's body, a strange phenomenon happened.

His body seemed to be blurred, and the spider web completely penetrated his body and fell to the ground behind him.

kindness?

how come?

This is...Kaija of Afterimage!

I have tried countless times and my body will not blur as I move, but now it actually works...

Xia Youjie obviously wouldn't give him a chance to think. The spider-shaped curse spirit sprayed three spider webs again, but they were sprayed towards the sky.

The curse radar in Soma Josuke's mind seemed to be covered with a layer of dense lines.

This time the spider web is obviously larger, but the three spider webs overlap and cover each other, completely sealing some of the gaps that originally existed between the spider webs.

The effect of the Afterimage Keja allowed Soma Josuke to successfully dodge again.

But before he could rejoice, the sticky feeling under his feet made his heart instantly fall to the bottom.

What the hell!

He forgot that almost all spider webs are sticky.

His dodging speed dropped sharply, and as he saw a worm about to penetrate his calf, the previous strange phenomenon reappeared before his eyes.

The worm penetrated directly through his calf and hit the ground behind him.

The broken floor raised a lot of sharp rubble, which bounced off Souma Josuke's calf, causing him to groan.

There was no way the stone could pass through his body.

Is it...

"Sōma-kun, I really didn't expect that your second shikigami would be so magical."

"Although, I once imagined that you could escape from the constraints of the spider web, but I didn't expect that it would be in this way."

"This is the power of your new shikigami, Sbarasi."

"Being able to let magical attacks pass through my body makes me want you more and more."

Xia Youjie explained for a while, but Souma Josuke also confirmed his guess.

Unfortunately, although the effect of this shikigami was very powerful, he understood it a little late.

If he had been able to use it more flexibly earlier, this situation would not be the case now.

He can completely use this ability to run directly out of the scope of this spider web. Even if the spider spins its web again, he can avoid it again, so it is completely possible for him to escape.

The few gravel fragments just rebounded and hit his calf, and the pain he felt caused him to move a little slower.

The most troublesome thing is that after the spider webs fell on the worm, not only did it not slow down its speed, but it made it more flexible.

As if controlled by Xia Youjie, he could twist his body in flight and assume an S-shape to increase his attack range, forcing Soma Josuke to rely on virtualization to avoid it.

The blurring of Kaija of Afterimage does not last forever, and the interval is about 0.5 seconds.

He had already been scraped by an insect's tooth, and the mere scrape left a bloodstain on his body. Fortunately, the ability was triggered again and serious injury was avoided.

This 0.5 second time interval seems very short on the surface, but in this kind of battle where milliseconds matter, it seems a bit long.

But another advantage is that the duration of the virtual blur and the time when the spell attack penetrates your body seem to be synchronized.

In other words, he doesn't have to worry about the virtualization suddenly failing in the middle of the attack of these terrible worms, causing the worms to get stuck in his body.

After learning this, Soma Josuke's avoidance method also changed. He no longer dodged every attack, but chose the most suitable worm to directly penetrate his body.

He can also move a little at the same time in the direction of the worm's flight, making his body more virtual.

Unfortunately, the spider kept spitting out spider webs covering a large area around it, making it impossible for him to escape.

As expected of Xia Youjie, he has so much combat experience.

These are only two of his curse spirits. If he released other curse spirits, he might have been caught long ago.

It's not that Xia Youjie is letting off steam, it's just that he has the ability to bind in his hands and is suitable for capturing Soma Josuke alive. Currently, there are only two of them.

The others are either too powerful and can easily kill Soma Josuke, or they are too weak and will affect the performance of the giant worm monster in the field.

Souma Josuke's speed is getting slower and slower...

Chapter 9 Five Articles

Soma Josuke seemed to have entered the legendary Zone state at this time, and his concentration was greatly improved.

All he could think about was how to avoid the attack in front of him, and for a moment he didn't pay attention to the beating digital clock in his mind.

At this time, the countdown in my mind has reached the last second.

【00:00:01】

[Congratulations to the host, the task is completed, and the rewards are being drawn...]

[Obtained shikigami: Frost Saya, the seventh ghost god, the evil god Horashi]

It turned out to be Saya and Borasu. The information that appeared in his mind made Soma Josuke feel dazed for a moment.

Although it was only a brief absence that lasted for 0.1 seconds, it almost caused him to be bitten by a worm.

If he hadn't entered the virtual state instantly, he would have been bitten off a large piece of flesh.

After calming down, he began to directly summon the new shikigami.

"Saya of Frost!"

A few seconds later, an icy blue figure appeared as Souma Josuke shouted.

As soon as this new shikigami appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the trees and grass nearby were covered with a layer of white frost, as if winter had arrived early.

The biggest change was that the dozens of worm monsters that were still flying around the field fell from mid-air with their bodies stiffened one by one. They fell to the ground and shattered into fine slag before disappearing into the white world.

Frost Saya is an offensive shikigami, so Soma Josuke no longer has to passively dodge.

At this time, Xia Youjie finally put away the smile on his face.

"Sōma-kun, you really gave me one surprise after another. The range-freezing shikigami is really amazing."

"Are you really not going to consider coming to my place?"

Souma Josuke slowly shook his head, "Natsuyou-kun, the world you dream of will never come true."

When Xia Youjie heard these words, a smile appeared on his face again, but it looked a little ferocious.
