Chapter 80

"Damn it! You guy, let me go!"

The other party's behavior like treating a child further ignited Woodman's anger. The cross sword in his hand slashed at Shizhi crazily, but did not leave a single white mark on the ancient dragon's body.

But the pain still stimulated the ferocity of the ancient dragon. She threw Woodman to the ground hard, making Woodman dizzy for a while. Then she directly grabbed the blade of the Fire Sword with her gauntlet and jumped up with a big jump. Trying to use his own weight and the momentum of his fall to pierce Woodman's body on the ground.

However, Stellius, who had watched the whole process, naturally could not stand by and watch. He stretched out his left hand towards Woodman, and golden-green vines spread out from his palm, pulling Woodman back at the critical moment.

"bump!"

The impact of the Ancient Dragon landing on the ground raised dust, and the Ancient Dragon slowly walked out of it. Her bowed body and eyes staring closely at the prey showed her anger at having her prey taken away.

"I said, you have to be careful."

As he spoke, Stellius released his sword energy to delay the ancient dragon, while dragging Woodman back. However, the defense of the ancient dragon was even higher than that of the dragon-marked knight. Stellius's dark green The sword energy hitting the ancient dragon's body was no different from scraping, but it aroused the other party's hostility even more.

She roared angrily and threw the flame sword in her hand towards Stellius. The holy sword of fire turned directly into a red meteor under the ancient dragon's huge arm.

Stellius obviously did not expect that the opponent would actually use such a random move. In a panic, he only had time to raise his sword to resist, but his hasty defense was naturally unable to withstand the full force throw of the ancient dragon, and he was staggered and fell to the ground. .

Naturally, the ancient dragon would not give up this opportunity. He jumped up and rode on Stellius, clenching his sharp hands and punching him in the face. The force was so strong that sparks were fired.

"Get away!"

After reacting, Woodman stood up and swung a powerful and heavy sweep at the back of the Ancient Dragon's head.

With the intuition of a beast, the Ancient Dragon used his legs to do a backflip to avoid Woodman's attack. He grabbed the flaming sword Liehuo stuck on the ground, put it into the drive, and put "The Ancient Dragon" of books reset.

"Catch and kill to finish reading!"

As she landed, she pulled out the holy sword, blue-gray flames spurted out from the driver, and the slender bone claws that had appeared before appeared again, rushing straight towards Woodman.

"Fire draws the sword! The impact will kill!"

"Woodman, retreat here first."

Stellius got up and tried to persuade Woodman to evacuate together, but the latter couldn't listen at all.

"It's just a sure kill! Watch me push it back!"

A large number of elemental attacks condensed around Woodman, shooting towards the bone claws that were rushing towards him. However, reality hit the opponent hard in the face. Any of his attacks could not even shake the trajectory of the bone claws at all. Woodman was struck by the bone claws. The claws corrected it, and he quickly pulled back in the direction of the ancient dragon. The gray-white flames burned his body, leaving him with no strength to resist.

After reaching a certain distance, the long-awaited flaming sword in the ancient dragon's hand swung down with fierce fire. It clearly tried a slash but it caused an effect like a three-fingered dragon claw tearing apart, hitting Woodman's body, and then exploded.

The terrifying blast of wind even impacted the swordsmen and Megiddos who had maintained their transformations, and were knocked back to their original forms.

"Huh, I didn't expect the result to be like this."

Looking at Woodman who had disappeared, Stellius shook his head and was dragged away from the battlefield by Bister.

"Roar……"

Seeing that the enemy had disappeared, as if he had had enough fun, the ancient dragon form was confidently released. The exhausted Shizhi knelt down with his sword in hand, and he obviously looked uncomfortable.

"What on earth is this?"

Looking at the "Ancient Dragon" held in his trembling hands, Shizhi's eyes flashed with fear. 】

128: Woodman’s Rage

[In the stronghold of Megiddo, Stellius and Bist, who had returned from the evacuation, looked a little embarrassed.

Bister sat down on the sofa. The only one who had not been severely beaten by the ancient dragon, she was in the best condition. She looked at Stellius with a smile on her face.

"It's really amazing. The book you snatched, but wouldn't it be meaningless if it was taken away by the Fire Swordsman?"

"This is just a small mistake. I will take that power back. It is what should belong to us."

Perhaps because of this rare failure, Stellius's face could no longer see the smile full of leisure in the past, and looked very cold.

"Hmph, you make it easy, but your book doesn't approve of you at all, right?"

"I have already anticipated this, so I prepared the trump card of Charybdis. Charybdis can use all the power to devour it. When the time comes, all she needs to do is feed the forbidden book to her."

Facing Bist's cynicism, Stellius replied calmly.

“After all, what is that book?”

Seeing that Stellius already had a way to use the "Ancient Dragon", Bister felt relieved and asked another question that concerned him.

The power of "Ancient Dragon" far exceeds all the fantasy control books she has seen so far. As the highest-level Megiddo created by books, Bist can feel that that book is fundamentally different from other books.

Also, what she didn't tell Stallius was that she instinctively hated the book, though she didn't know why.

In response to this question, Stellius showed a nostalgic expression, and fragments of memories flashed back in his mind.

Holding the fragment of omniscience and omnipotence, I slowly walked towards the skeleton of the last dragon in the world, and wrote an endless sad poem for it with my own hands...

"That book was a back-up that I left behind thousands of years ago. It is a shortcut to gaining omniscience and omnipotence. The problem now is to find a way to take that book away from Wuhe Shizhi..."

"The Fire Swordsman is my prey."

At this moment, a third person's voice sounded in the room, and the two of them followed the sound. The person who spoke was the scarred Woodman.

His beautiful blond hair was as messy as a chicken coop at the moment, and there were dozens of scratches and scorch marks on his face, even a pair of them were in tatters. If Megiddo didn't bleed, he would have been injured at this moment. He should already be a bloody man.

"Oh! You actually came back alive!"

When Bister saw Woodman in such a state of embarrassment, a look of ridicule suddenly appeared on his face, but there was still a trace of concern in his eyes.

However, Woodman, who was already so angry, couldn't listen to what others said. He just staggered to the bookshelf where alternative driving books were stored, and took down a large number of completed or semi-finished alternative driving books from the top.

He held the books tightly in his hands with a maniacal smile on his face.

"I am the strongest! I am the chosen advanced race that is superior to humans. Holy Blade, you must defeat me!"]

Summer river: This Woodman has gone completely crazy. It seems that after being ruined by Shiori one after another and being defeated by her, his self-esteem has reached its limit.

Infinite Snake: Humph, it’s really ugly. Although the body has evolved, the heart has not become stronger. It seems that Megiddobi is not the end of my dream, but it is valuable for research.

Dr. Lobster: Shouldn't the biggest ending be that "The Ancient Dragon" was actually created by Stellius? It is said that this person cannot use the things he made himself. Isn’t this just making a father? It's a bit funny.

The Second Hokage: You can't say that. Sometimes the people who make weapons are not necessarily weapons experts. On the contrary, I think that being able to create such a terrifying book, Stellius is indeed the most dangerous of all Megiddos.

Want to go to heaven: Indeed, Lord Stellius is not on the same level as other Megiddos in terms of character and talent. So far, only this time the rampage of "Ancient Dragon" has exceeded his expectations. What an interesting guy. If he existed in my world, I really wanted him to join my DIO.

Pink Octopus Head: Humph, I think such a dangerous guy should be eradicated as soon as possible.

[The screen came to the Kita Base, which had not been seen for a long time. As Miku received the activation book of the Kita Base entrusted by Sophia from Yoshino, the dim Kita Base resumed operations again.

Except for the Seven Sins who went back to persuade Tohka and Yakuya, several others returned here to rest. Everyone carefully placed the "Ancient Dragon" on a tray on a special analysis instrument.

After a series of tests, it seems that this book only reacts to Shizhi, and nothing will happen if others touch it. Even in a normal non-combat state, Shizhi will not react even if he touches it.

but……

When Shizhi put his hand on the flaming sword Agni, the "Ancient Dragon" would begin to tremble. Because it was too dangerous, they did not test it further.

"Miku-chan, can you analyze anything?"

Sitting on the chair and receiving Mana's treatment, Shizhi looked at Miku, who was frowning and playing with the instruments.

"It's hard to say, the structure of this book is completely different from other fantasy driving books I've seen."

Looking at the large number of "error!" warnings displayed on the instrument screen, Miku frowned even deeper.

"I can only try my best to analyze it. By the way, did you have any special feelings when you were manipulated by this book?"

Shizhi recalled it and said with some uncertainty.

"My consciousness seemed to be sent to a strange space. There was an endless forest there, but there was no sign of any living creatures. I walked inside for a long time, and finally saw a blond girl. She looked very... The look of loneliness. By the way! Before "The Ancient Dragon" showed the attitude of a fantasy control book, I saw a little text on the book."

Shizhi pinched his chin and recalled what he had seen in a hurry.

"At the end of sorrow, it is the hand of shattered desire."]

Audiences in all worlds are thinking about the meaning of Shiori's last sentence, but in the space of the world of battle, a blond girl floating in a gravity-free environment is paying attention to another thing.

"Is that Liu'er?"

Staring at the lonely figure in the video with his godless eyes, Hoshigong Rokuro's supposedly closed heart actually felt a little loose.

But it's normal to think about it. Just because she locked her heart, it doesn't mean that her heart doesn't exist. Overly intense emotions will still overflow from the "inside" gaps, thus affecting the "outside".

At this moment, she began to have a little bit of curiosity about Wuhe Shiori, whom she chose in the video.

"How on earth will you get along with 'me', Itsuka Shiori."

In the empty space, the girl's words could not be conveyed to anyone.

129: The meaning of eight dances

["At the end of sorrow, it is the hand of shattered desire."

Miku and Mana repeated Shiori's words, showing unclear expressions. Seeing this, Shiori was not too disappointed.

"Leave it to me to investigate this matter. It just so happens that the North District Base has begun to operate again. I will try to find useful clues from the records here."

"I'm here to help too!"

"I'm coming too, I'm coming too!"

Yoshino and Maria raised their hands high, as if they wanted to help, while Miku thought of another question.

"Speaking of which, Shizhi, have you met the Holy Lord of Truth?"

"Well, I met him once, but at that time he was not able to have a few more words with me because he wanted to recover the forbidden book that was stolen by Stellius. After that, I couldn't enter the Southern District Base again. "

Shizhi took out the "Book of Doors" given by Qi Zui, but after opening it, there was no reaction at all.

"It should be that Ellen has closed the access rights of the Seven Sins. After all, she has seen that the Seven Sins have become our people, so naturally she will not give me another chance to get close to the Holy Lord of Truth."

Although Miku said this, her eyes were a little wandering.

She felt a sense of violation from this incident. If she remembered correctly, only the Holy Lord of Truth should have access to the Forbidden Library. However, the trust and respect for the Holy Lord of Truth that she had accumulated over the years still made her suppress it. That terrible possibility. 】

However, although Miku denied this possibility, the audience had no inhibitions.

Fenchanglong: Could it be that the Holy Lord of Truth also has some ulterior conspiracy?

Barrus: Impossible, does one organization actually have two enemies?

Touzhu: But Mr. Holy Lord of Truth has been trying to ease the conflicts between the swordsmen before. He really doesn’t seem like a bad person.

The first-generation cute king: Could it be that Stellius forced the Holy Lord of Truth to open the door of the forbidden library? Didn’t the group of friends speculate that the Holy Lord of Truth has no fighting ability?

Iwazhu: It’s possible. If the Lord of our Demon Slayer Corps encounters such danger, I can understand. No, I hope he can hand over some interests in order to protect himself. After all, he is the most powerful person in the Demon Slayer Corps. important presence.

[The scene shifted to an abandoned factory. Nanzui, who was unable to enter the southern base, could only invite Tohka and Yakuya out. She looked seriously into the eyes of the two young swordsmen and said.

"I have decided to leave the organization from now on and follow Shizhi."
