Chapter 1119: Demigod, Fire Dragon, Sharingan!
[Boom!]
A huge sound instantly echoed throughout the entire Kasbata High Tower.
The Air Force officers active inside and outside the tower heard the commotion coming from above.
They were first startled, then shook their heads with a bitter smile.
It seems someone or something has angered Admiral Golden Lion again.
Meanwhile, in the office, Bud watched speechlessly as the newly replaced desk was smashed by Shiki's punch.
The documents, pen, Den Den Mushi, and so on that were on it were naturally also ruined.
"It's infuriating!"
"They just killed a few nobodies and now they're making trouble for me!"
Shiki could no longer suppress his inner rage and cursed loudly.
Honestly, if it were before, he would have already picked up his twin swords and gone to fight Kong.
He was 'Golden Lion', after all!
But it wasn't like before anymore. Shiki couldn't bear to lose everything he had now.
He especially didn't want to be replaced by Kaido; that would be too humiliating.
Kaido was just a trainee in the Rocks Pirates back then!
So now he could only curse a few words behind their backs to vent his rage.
This was the invisible restraint created by interests and the system, which even someone as strong as Shiki found difficult to break free from.
"Admiral, did Minister Kong just mention that the operation the day after tomorrow would proceed as planned?"
Bud looked at the fuming Shiki and asked.
"Hmm?"
Shiki suddenly froze, and his heated mind quickly regained its calmness.
He had just been focused on Kong's words cursing him.
He had been trying hard to suppress his angry emotions the entire time and hadn't actually noticed the other party saying that.
"Uh, did that bastard really say that?" Shiki looked at his adjutant in surprise.
"Yes, that is correct. It seems the World Government has solved the problem of opening the Gate. We just don't know if they captured Louise or used some other method?"
Bud lowered his head, looking thoughtful, but didn't notice Shiki's gaze suddenly change.
Because he thought of the true ruler of the World Government.
Since the other party had the ability to independently open one Star Gate after another, it showed that their attainment in space-time was unimaginably high.
Then they should also be able to open that Halkeginia Gate.
Before, because Louise was there, there was no need for him to personally act.
But now that there was a problem and it became necessary, Lord Imu would open the path of conquest for his great army.
"Don't worry about how they solved it, it's best if everything proceeds as planned."
Shiki waved his hand and shouted loudly.
"Immediately order Admiral Pershing, who is assisting the army, to conduct a final comprehensive inspection. The day after tomorrow at 2 AM, advance into the 'Nuclear World'. Yokosuka Port must be occupied within two hours. Enter Tokyo at dawn!"
"Yes, Admiral!"
Rear Admiral Bud stood up to receive the order, then turned and quickly walked out of the room.
—
Special Zone World.
It was April here, the season when spring was in full bloom.
The cool breeze gently brushed their faces, refreshing and pleasant.
Everything was recovering, and flowers were blooming.
However, even at such a beautiful time, the Hill of Alnus was full of devastation, with corpses strewn everywhere.
Looking around, there were shell craters of all sizes everywhere, as well as charred dismembered limbs and bodies.
This battle, recorded by Japan as the 'First Engagement in the Special Zone', ended with the complete annihilation of the Imperial Kings' Army's tens of thousands of troops.
Among them, King Hakugunā, King Modan, and King Liku, who were in charge of the command, died under the cannon fire of the Tank Group.
As for the Ground Self-Defense Force, there were zero casualties.
Western edge of Cohan Forest.
Hayate Gekko, Uchiha Kokuu, Hyuga Takeshi, and Yamanaka Yosuke, the four who were originally tracking Louise's group, had to stop at this moment.
They watched the figure blocking their path with vigilant expressions.
From bottom to top, red high heels, black suspender stockings, a black and red short dress, and a red butterfly knot tied in her waist-length black beautiful hair.
This was a girl who looked full of Gothic Lolita style, surrounded by a large number of crows.
Although the other party's height was only about 1.6 meters, she tightly held a poleaxe more than two meters long in one hand.
That poleaxe didn't look like an ordinary item either.
The blade was extremely long, silver-white, nearly a meter. The axe head was printed with purple twisted patterns, and two purple-red serpent bodies wrapped around the upper and lower ends of the spear handle. No matter how you looked at it, it was full of evil aura.
Hayate Gekko and the others knew that the newcomer was not friendly.
Just then, they saw the girl open her mouth to speak, but unfortunately, they couldn't understand at all.
Soon, the other party also seemed to realize that communication was difficult due to the language barrier.
This made her show an expression of some distress and helplessness.
The next second, this girl launched an attack with the spear-axe that was much larger than her figure.
A sharp whistling sound suddenly appeared.
And the ground where she had just stood cracked accordingly.
The huge blade cut through the air, carrying a faint purple light and powerful strength, and chopped heavily towards Hayate Gekko and the others.
[Boom!!!]
Smoke and dust surged, the earth cracked, and an explosive rumble echoed throughout the entire area.
"This strength is already no less than Princess Tsunade's Monster Strength."
Hayate Gekko, who had dodged in time, commented in a low voice.
At this moment, they had split into three groups, surrounding the Gothic girl in the center.
Hayate Gekko and Uchiha Kokuu each occupied a corner.
And Hyuga Takeshi stood in front of Yamanaka Yosuke, assuming the starting stance for Gentle Fist.
Although the two sides couldn't communicate, since the other party attacked first, they would subdue her first.
This time, no one needed to give orders.
Hayate Gekko, as the captain, was the first to draw the long saber from his back.
[Swish!]
With speed as fast as lightning, he used Body Flicker to approach the Gothic girl. The sharp blade went straight for the latter's face.
However, the other party's strength was also not weak. She blocked the blade with a horizontal swing of her spear-axe. Then she rotated the spear shaft, swung the blade, and swept towards Hayate Gekko's waist.
But the latter dodged the attack with agility. At the same time, the blade slid along the spear handle, about to cut off her fingers.
The girl quickly let go, then used her other hand to lift the end of the spear handle. The cold light flashing tip pointed directly at Hayate Gekko's throat.
She just didn't expect that after the spear tip hit, there was no tactile feedback.
Her expression changed, realizing that the other party had used some kind of Phantom Image Magic.
At the same time, Hayate Gekko appeared behind the Gothic girl, his blade slashing towards the wrist of her right hand holding the spear.
Because his purpose was not to kill the other party, but to capture her alive and obtain more information.
[Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz----]
But just then, the Gothic girl's rapidly rotating blade began to emit streaks of purple electric flashes.
These electric flashes exploded the rocks as soon as they landed, forcing Hayate Gekko to flash back, narrowly avoiding the purple lightning.
In the nick of time, a fireball attacked from the other side, hitting the Gothic girl who was surrounded by countless purple lightning.
[Boom!!]
An explosion occurred, and the surging light and crackling purple lightning intertwined, forming a powerful air current that swept across the entire area.
"Why did you use Great Fireball? We need her to provide information!"
Hayate Gekko, who felt the heatwave rushing towards him, changed his expression.
"Captain, this woman doesn't look like a character who can be easily killed no matter how you look at it."
Uchiha Kokuu, while keeping his Three-Tomoe Sharingan fixed on the thick smoke in the area, responded in a deep voice to Hayate Gekko's questioning.
"She can use magic!"
Hayate Gekko frowned after hearing this.
Of course, he knew about magic.
But he had also seen some Four Elements Magic from the Familiar of Zero world.
Although some effects were indeed miraculous, in terms of combat, they weren't very good.
So he was still worried that the explosion just now would kill the other party.
After all, this girl was clearly not an ordinary person, so she must know a lot of things.
"What powerful Flame Magic!"
"If I hadn't released lightning beforehand, the Defensive Magic on my body would have consumed most of its magic power."
Rory Mercury casually swung her spear-axe, stirring up a gale that blew away the surrounding smoke and dust.
At the same time, she curiously examined Uchiha Kokuu's Sharingan.
This time, she received a divine oracle from her Chief God, the 'God of Darkness, Death, Trial, Frenzy, and War', Emroy, to come and understand the otherworlders this time.
Originally, she wanted to go to the Hill of Alnus where the Gate was located, but she didn't expect to see these four strangely dressed otherworlders on the way.
Especially the speed they displayed when running was no less than that of her, a Demigod.
"Captain, there's a layer of energy on this girl's body surface that looks like mental power, which should be magic power. And the energy level is very high; my dojutsu power cannot break through!"
The tomoe in Uchiha Kokuu's eyes were slowly rotating.
At the same time, he quietly reported to Hayate Gekko on the other side.
"Magic Defense?"
Hayate Gekko raised an eyebrow. Mages in the Familiar of Zero world didn't have this kind of magic.
"It seems we need to break through this layer of defense before we can subdue her."
"Kokuu, you come with me, Yosuke, find your own opportunity!"
"Yes!"
Yamanaka Yosuke, who was protected by Hyuga Takeshi behind him, responded. His hands also assumed the posture for Mind Transfer Technique.
The next moment, Uchiha Kokuu and Hayate Gekko, one holding kunai in both hands, the other holding a long saber, attacked Rory Mercury together.
"Hmph hmph, good, let me see what other abilities you have!"
Seeing this, Rory Mercury stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips. Her eyes revealed strong fighting intent and excitement.
Suddenly, the long-handled spear-axe shook violently, meeting Uchiha Kokuu as he darted forward.
For a time, the three of them were engaged in a chaotic battle in the area.
They fought fast against fast, each person's movements were incredibly swift.
The continuous clash of weapons rang out incessantly, and from time to time, dazzling sparks flashed.
If ordinary people were watching, they would at most see streaks of crisscrossing afterimages and blade light.
Whenever they used magic or Ninjutsu, large areas of wind, fire, lightning, and electricity would appear, as well as the explosions and deafening rumbles produced when the two sides collided.
The combat was exceptionally fierce from the start.
This was an exchange of blows between warriors from two different civilizations!
Two Sea Ninja Village Jonin VS One Apostle of God, a Demigod.
"So strong, the strength of these two people is so strong!"
Even Rory Mercury, who possessed centuries of combat experience and the powerful strength of a Demigod, felt an unprecedented huge pressure at this moment.
You must know that she was the one with the strongest combat power among all Demigods.
Because Emroy, whom she believed in, was originally the Strongest God among the Twelve Main Gods.
But no matter how she swung the purple light-filled 'Halberd Scythe' in her hand, how she released Magic Lightning capable of destroying everything, she just couldn't take down these two strange guys.
The other party's ability was like magic, but clearly not magic.
The key was that their melee combat level was also quite formidable, especially the man using the blade.
One moment he would disappear without a trace, the next he would transform into several phantom images, truly like a ghost.
"No, it seems I'm not their opponent."
Rory Mercury had always felt that she liked combat and liked slaughter.
Because this made her feel joy, and she could enjoy the process of undead being sacrificed to the gods through her body.
That feeling was like a strong aphrodisiac, causing her body to experience pleasure like an orgasm.
But now she was very unhappy.
It wasn't that she was afraid of death, because Demigods couldn't die.
Even if her body was cut into shards, it would automatically recover in a short amount of time.
So she just hated this situation where she couldn't suppress the other party and was likely to be captured alive by them.
For a dignified Apostle of the God of Darkness to potentially be defeated and captured by two humans was simply an unacceptable humiliation.
So Rory Mercury had already begun to have the idea of retreating.
There were still two people over there.
Once they also attacked, she definitely wouldn't be able to last long.
But the question was, how to leave?
Perhaps there really were gods protecting her. Just as the Defensive Magic on Rory Mercury's body began to flash with streaks of aura, indicating it was about to be broken through, a large area of shadow suddenly descended from overhead, along with surging violent gale.
"Roar!!!"
Rory Mercury, Hayate Gekko, Uchiha Kokuu, Hyuga Takeshi, Yamanaka Yosuke, and the other five people present subconsciously looked up.
Immediately, they saw in the air, there was actually a twin-winged dragon covered in scarlet dragon scales, with several sharp horns on its head.
Its body size was estimated to be comparable to that of an adult Giant Tribe member on the world, which was twenty to thirty meters in height.
"Such a big dragon?!"
Hayate Gekko, Uchiha Kokuu, and the others showed surprise on their faces.
They had thought that the dragons in this world were all like the pterodactyls in the Imperial Army.
Even the dragons in the Familiar of Zero world weren't very large in body size; most could barely carry two people.
"An ancient Fire Dragon, why would it appear here? The time is also wrong; did it wake up fifty years early?"
Rory Mercury was equally surprised, but more so filled with doubt.
Of course, she knew this Fire Dragon; after all, she was already nine hundred and sixty-one years old this year.
It could be said that there was basically nothing in this world that she didn't know or recognize.
Moreover, this Fire Dragon was the strongest adult dragon of this era. Excluding the gods, only Demigods like them could resist it.
But it was only resisting; winning was impossible.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have been causing trouble for so many years and still be alive now.
"However, this is a good opportunity to escape!"
Rory Mercury's eyes lit up. Immediately, taking advantage of the Fire Dragon spitting Flame Dragon Breath downwards, forcing Hayate Gekko and the four back, she quickly flew towards the direction of Cohan Forest.
The ninja four-person group also had no method for this.
Perhaps because there were many people here, the Fire Dragon's line of sight had been focused on them.
That scorching hot fire pillar also swept towards their position. The ground along the way visibly turned into flowing magma.
"Captain, should we kill it?!"
Uchiha Kokuu asked loudly while dodging.
"If there's no way to control it, then kill it. We can't waste all our time on it!"
A sharp look flashed in Hayate Gekko's eyes.
He was clearly tracking Louise and the others, but was obstructed again and again. Even the Gothic loli just now ran away. It was imaginable how depressed his mood was.
"I can try, this dragon doesn't seem to have magic power covering its body."
Uchiha Kokuu replied loudly, looking at the Fire Dragon that was frantically attacking them.
As a ninja of the Uchiha Clan, he really wanted to prove the strength of the Sharingan.
Immediately, chakra erupted under his feet, and his entire speed was boosted to the extreme.
He was seen transforming into an afterimage as fast as lightning, stepping on the dense, scarlet, smooth dragon scales along the thick, long arm that the Fire Dragon swung over.
In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the Fire Dragon's shoulder.
This angered it even more.
Dragon Roar, burning with rage.
Immediately, it swung its other dragon claws and slapped fiercely.
"Roar!!!"
However, although it hit, what it smashed was just a log.
And Uchiha Kokuu's figure had already leaped into the high altitude. His eyes looked directly at the Fire Dragon's pair of almond-yellow vertical pupils filled with madness.
In his scarlet Sharingan, the three black tomoe began to rotate at high speed.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan!!!"
