497 During the Battle, the Crimson Sky Sounded

Qianbian Xiudenan, his name comes from the alias of the thirty-second demon king of Solomon's seventy-two demon pillars. The king of swords, one of the four supreme pillars, is in charge of the most powerful monarch among the seven deadly sins... Of course, this is just a name. It's just the source, and he himself has nothing to do with the Demon God Pillar or the ***.

And anyone who has played FGO knows that the Demon God Pillars are a disgraceful thing. With his ever-changing combat power, even if there were Solomon's seventy-two Demon God Pillars in this world, they would probably be stepped on by him.

However, when he enters the fighting form, he is really not much different from the legendary demon.

He has a beast-like appearance. His upper body looks like a tiger with abnormally thick limbs, but his head has sharp hairs and horns. The area below his knees has turned into giant eagle claws. There are also bat wings and snakes on his back. The tail looks like many different animals put together, but this seems to be the origin of his name... the devil!

"Be careful." As Qianbian revealed his beast form, Alastor immediately reminded everyone, "Qianbian without the Noble Phantasm [Divine Iron Ruyi] is not in his strongest state, but he will adjust according to the opponent's strength. Regarding our own level, even if we have the advantage in numbers, we must not be careless.”

I see!

Tang Hao suddenly understood. No wonder in the original story, Qian Bian in the early stage was basically a 50-50 split no matter who he fought against. It turns out that he still has such attributes. Are you really just playing for fun?

"Roar!"

In mid-air, Qianbian roared loudly, and glanced at everyone with his bell-like eyes, "Let's get started. Which of you will go first, or do you plan to come together?"

"I'll go first!" As she shouted, Mikoto's body turned into a bolt of lightning and she rushed forward first.

"Oh, have you turned your body into an element? This is really a rare ability." Qianbian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be full of interest, and then he rushed straight towards Mikoto.

Zhi——

Bili!

The next moment, this huge monster was entangled with the electric current transformed by Mikoto. The incandescent electric current touched Qian Bian's body, and the high-voltage electricity of hundreds of millions of volts made him scream in agony, and even his whole body trembled. He was shaking so hard that he could even see the shape of his bones, but within a few seconds, he suddenly roared.

Accompanied by the roar, the sharp claws of the beast stretched forward and grabbed the electric current that was scurrying like a snake in front of him. Then the violent electric light immediately stopped, and the electric current in his hand quickly turned into a human form. It was Mikoto who was already being choked by Qianbian.

Elementalization is broken!

There is nothing surprising about this. With Mikoto's current fighting power, a new king like a hunter can fight at will. Even if both parties are at their peak, she has at least a 70% chance of winning. Even the older Red World Demon King, With the speed of electricity, it can basically be invincible.

But her opponent at the moment is no one else, but the ceiling of this world's combat power!

In the world of "Shakugan no Shana", the power of existence represents almost everything, because it can be converted into any energy source. Therefore, whether it is an apostle or a fire mist, there is no absolute physical warrior. If the free method is regarded as magic, Then all the members are magicians and martial arts masters.

At the same time, the power of existence can also repel all energy. As long as the amount of existence is large enough, it can almost form a damage-free effect.

Therefore, in this world, elementalization is by no means invincible.

In the final analysis, elementalization is just a transformation of energy.

"Mikoto!"

The moment Mikoto was choked, Xia Na yelled loudly, stepped hard on the ground with both feet, her petite body jumped up, and Chi Yan's tachi slashed hard.

"A crusader with flaming hair and burning eyes..."

Qianbian turned his head, and in order to avoid Shana's slashing attack, he had to throw Mikoto to the ground and step back at the same time.

Uh-huh!

Shana's swing of the knife failed, and red flames scattered in mid-air. Now she did not have the ability to stop in mid-air, so she could only grit her teeth and fall down.

At the same time, Tang Hao caught Miqin's fallen body and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Fortunately..." Mikoto shook her head and looked at Qian Bian in mid-air, somewhat unwilling to do so. She didn't think that she would be invincible in this world by relying on elementalization, but she didn't expect that she would become so soon. To be defeated, the enemy's strength was indeed far beyond her level.

"But that makes sense!"

Mikoto has never been the kind of person to accept defeat, which can be seen from her inspiring journey from LV1 to LV5.

Although Academy City's research on ability users still relies on the basis of quality judgment. Depending on their different qualities, some people can become LV5 in the future, while some people can't become LV5 no matter how hard they try. But if you really say "You have LV5" "Quality, so you are born LV5" is undoubtedly an extremely irresponsible statement to deny all the efforts of other people in the process of progress.

Because literacy is just literacy after all, it is an unfulfilled potential. It only determines a person's upper and lower limits, but it does not mean that the upper limit will definitely be reached.

Just like someone is born smart, with an IQ of 200, and is expected to become an expert in the field of science in the future, but if he neither works hard nor concentrates during the learning process, and only knows how to eat and wait for death, then no matter how smart he is, his life will be just A man waiting to die.

Mikoto has the qualities to become LV5, but her ability to reach LV5 in the end is inseparable from her own hard work and stubbornness.

Therefore, the stronger the enemy, the more willing she is to fight.

Gritting her teeth, she rushed forward again. Just when she passed by Shana, she reached out and grabbed Shana's arm and lifted it up.

"Same as before."

Shana was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, "Okay!"

Just like before, this just referred to the concert.

At the concert, it was precisely because of Mikoto's violin accompaniment that the situation was stabilized before Shana could sing selflessly. The success of that song was the result of the tacit cooperation between the two. It's the same today. Shana has no flying ability and cannot engage in aerial combat. Mikoto has the ability to fly and fight, but does not have a treasure like Zhi Dianzhe that can break all free laws. It is difficult to fight in close combat. No one can win alone. In the face of thousands of changes, only by working together can we have a chance of victory.

"I didn't expect that Yan-haired Huo Mist, who has always been alone, would actually fight side by side with others." Qian Bian couldn't help but said in surprise as he watched the two of them coming hand in hand.

"People can change, and so does fire mist, and..." Shana swung her sword, igniting blazing flames, "My name is Shana, Shana with flaming hair and scorching eyes!"

"That's a good name."

Qian Bian praised him. Even when faced with the combined efforts of Mikoto and Shana, he still seemed to be at ease. He released the power of existence visible to the naked eye on his huge body. This layer of power of existence seemed to be his armor. Repelling and interfering with external energy, neither Mikoto's lightning nor Shana's flames can easily break it.

Obviously, Qian Bian is a little more serious this time. Perhaps as Alastor said, when facing a powerful opponent, his strength becomes stronger.

But Mikoto and Shana were not the only ones present.

Just when Qian Bian struck the two men back, behind him, a puppet stone giant appeared at some point, and its millstone-like fist smashed down from above his head.

The giant with the beaded bridge.

This is why Tang Hao chose the battlefield here.

boom!

Qianbian was caught off guard, and with a loud bang, he was immediately hit.

"We got it!" Shana's eyes lit up and she rushed over quickly, just as she was about to raise the knife.

"It's not that simple!" Qianbian laughed loudly. The bat's wings shook violently, but its huge body was smoother than a loach. While flying sideways, he blocked Mikoto's Thunderbird with one hand and held down Shana with the other. of slashing.

Then he threw it forward hard.

"ah!"

In terms of strength alone, Shana's petite body was incomparable to Qianbian. She was thrown away directly and crashed into Youzhu's bridge giant. Seeing that the two were about to collide, Shana suddenly turned her blade and took advantage of the situation on the bridge. The giant slid around, then stepped on it with both feet, using it as a springboard, and turned back again.

"It's indeed a bit tricky... huh?" Qian Bian looked around and as he was speaking, he suddenly noticed Tang Hao, who had not made any move.

One minute into the battle, Tang Hao never made a move. It wasn't that he didn't want to take action, but that with his current strength, he was not qualified to fight Qian Bian, but... this kind of thing was not absolute.

When Qian Bian noticed him, he just raised his head.

"Warm-up completed."

Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment, a bright light appeared behind him, and the second soul appeared. However, in just a blink of an eye, the second soul merged into his body again, making his body look like Like a night pearl, sparkling.

Fusion!

In the past three days, Tang Hao had learned from Alastor. In addition to learning Fengjue, his greatest achievement was the comprehension of the Free Method.

If the general fighting method still requires the support of physical skills, then the free method relies entirely on the power of existence, and sometimes it has nothing to do with combat effectiveness. Those who are good at fighting may not be able to use the free method, such as Shana, who has not yet Learn, and the free masters are not necessarily good at fighting, such as the bone picker Lamy.

In three days, Tang Hao had only one freedom method that he truly mastered - fusion.

Fuse the second soul with your own body again to further strengthen your fighting ability.

If it were other things, Tang Hao might not be able to complete it in such a short period of time, but the second soul is different, because it is a part that was separated from him. The compatibility between the two reaches 100%. After fusion, The power is also in the state of 1+1 greater than 2.

As the body continued to release holy light, Tang Hao looked at Qian Bian and smiled slightly.

"She said it's okay to go."

Immediately, Tang Hao held the sword in both hands, and endless holy light gathered on the blade.

Then, move forward and slash forward.

"Crescent Moon...Tian Chong!"

Uh-huh!

In Qianbian's surprised eyes, the bright holy light turned into a crescent moon, rolling upward like a whirlwind.

That is?

Qian Bian was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know why, he had a vague premonition. Even Mikoto's elementalization seemed to him just like that, but this crescent moon... seemed to have something he couldn't understand.

Almost instinctively, Qianbian chose to retreat.

However, just as he stepped away, the crescent moon suddenly disappeared, and before he could react, there was a sharp pain in his left shoulder. When he turned around, he saw a familiar arm following the presence of the leak. Thrown upward with force.

Only then did Qian Bian finally realize that his left arm had been chopped off.

"How can it be?"

Seeing this scene, Xia Na was even more surprised than Qian Bian himself.

Having fought Qianbian personally, she knew very well how strong the masquerade general was. Even if she and Mikoto joined forces, they could hardly break through his defense, but Tang Hao just casually struck... No matter what he had done before No matter how strong he is, he is just a beginner in the use of the power of existence and the method of freedom!

Shana didn't understand, but Mikoto didn't feel surprised at all. It was completely reasonable for the second soul to add a sword Shura to have such a result. It's not as good as this. Such a decisive move only cut off one of Qian Bian's arms. This guy was too strong.

Of course, as Qian Bian's arm was cut off, the opportunity to counterattack also came.

"Now!"

Tang Hao shouted loudly.

Shana came back to her senses, suppressed the surprise in her heart, and went to kill Qianbian.

"Ha, what a group of scary guys. It seems that Hecate's vision was indeed right. He actually cut off my arm without making a move. Doesn't this make you want others to get you!"

Although his arm was obviously cut off, Qian Bian suddenly became excited and said with a smile.

When Tang Hao heard this, he suddenly felt pity.

Let’s not talk about what Qian Bian’s words mean. His strength is indeed terrifying. He did not use the power of existence to repair his broken arm, but directly fought in mid-air in this state, like a violent beast. , the first to destroy Uzu's bridge giant...

Perhaps due to the addition of Tang Hao, Qianbian once again improved his level. Unfortunately, Tang Hao's ultimate move has a CD. Without the support of his ultimate move, with Qianbian's current level, Mikoto and Shana simply cannot suppress it. she.

Especially Shana, when Mikoto had to concentrate on fighting Qianbian, without the ability to fly, she could only stare.

"Give me!"

Just as Tang Hao was trying to regain his strength, Xia Na suddenly yelled at him.

Um?

Tang Hao was stunned.

"The Scarlet Sky!" Shana stamped her feet anxiously.

Is it that one?

Tang Hao's heart moved, and he finally understood what she meant. He immediately took out his phone, pressed it a few times quickly, and then threw it towards Xia Na with all his strength.

Snapped!

"So, when the sky is dyed red..."

The moment Shana caught the phone, the song of Scarlet Sky came from the phone.

This is it!

Shana held the phone tightly and even closed her eyes.

When she sang several times before, she could feel the boundary of breakthrough from the strange resonance, but there was always something missing that prevented her from taking the final step. Now she understands that what is missing is a sense of crisis.

At this moment, the crisis is right in front of us.

She wants to face the crimson sky...

Wow!

Halfway through the song, Shana suddenly opened her eyes, and at the same time, a pair of fire wings spread out on her back.
