Chapter 6: Evil Things Appear
Chapter 6: Evil Things Appear
After showing Riku that he could also turn into a monster, Kawahara ended his transformation, and the vague pressure on his body disappeared immediately.
Rick looked at him curiously, "Teacher Kawahara, why are you white after your transformation, but I'm red?"
"That's what I'm going to tell you next."
Kawahara said, "The red Kuga is in the 'Almighty Form'. We will talk about the power of this state later. Now try to use the power of the Yamadam Reiki Stone to transform yourself into the blue 'Blue Dragon Form'."
"Turn blue?" Rick was a little confused.
"The power of the Yamadam Spirit Stone can allow the user to change according to his or her will, so you must also use your heart to feel the mystery brought by this power."
Kawahara said, "What are you thinking about now? Try to tell Yamadam what's in your mind."
"My thoughts..."
Rick raised his hands after hearing this.
He could vaguely sense the cognition coming from the Yamadam Spirit Stone, and after merging with it, the way to use this power seemed to be merged with it as well.
Rick couldn't help but concentrate on feeling this power.
After a while.
A light breeze suddenly blew around.
The breeze swept through the grass not far away, blowing up the sand on the ground, and then swirled around Kuga.
Kawahara sensed something and looked at Kuuga who was standing there quietly.
The next moment, the spirit stone on Kongwo's waist and the control beads on his limbs glowed brightly, and green instantly covered the original red parts of his body, and even his huge compound eyes turned emerald green.
"Ah! It's transformed!"
Riku feels the change and touches his armor in surprise.
Kawahara looked at him speechlessly: "..."
So the next moment.
Rick suddenly screamed, then held his head and struggled in pain. He couldn't even stand and stumbled to the ground.
"what happened--"
Rick covered his head in pain and shouted, "It hurts so much! It seems like there are so many things in my body, Mr. Kawahara..."
Kawahara picked up the silk book and opened it, saying, "This is the green form of Pegasus Kuuga. Pegasus's perception of the outside world has been amplified thousands of times. Many of the things you feel are the information transmitted to your brain by those senses."
After reading the above text.
Kawahara sighed again and said slowly: "I originally wanted you to experience this state one last time, but you seem to be impatient."
"Teacher Kawahara..."
Seeing Kawahara still standing there with a calm face, Riku, whose brain is about to explode, speaks out with difficulty: "What should I do..."
Kawahara comforted him softly, "Don't worry, this is just your first time experiencing this state, so you are not used to it yet. Now calm down and focus only on me."
"Huh...huh..."
Rick, lying on the ground, was breathing heavily.
He is a very hard-working and serious person, no matter what he does.
So after hearing this, he tried his best to restrain himself and focus his attention on just one point, and then the sounds and feelings that were about to burst his brain soon subsided.
Although the human brain can process extremely large amounts of information, human senses are limited.
Therefore, when this sense is magnified thousands of times, the brain, which has never experienced such high efficiency, finds it difficult to react for a while.
At this time, you just need to temporarily discard some unnecessary information, allow your brain to adapt to this state of high inspiration, and then filter out the information you really want.
After Rick deliberately ignored other information from the outside world and focused his senses only on the person in front of him, he quickly adapted to the new environment.
Rick's extraordinary senses even allowed him to sense the blood flowing in the body of the person in front of him.
He began to marvel at this power.
"Is it okay?"
Kawahara spoke up as he watched him slowly calm down.
Rick stood up again. Although he felt very tired at this moment, his heart was filled with a feeling of excitement.
"Amazing!"
Kuga's pair of green compound eyes sparkled.
Kawahara nodded upon seeing this: "The ability of the Pegasus form is to strengthen mental power. In theory, it should be able to sense things hundreds of miles away, but before you fully adapt, you should just sense things in this area for now. - I'll make something, and you can tell me everything you feel later."
"Oh...Okay!"
Rick watched him turn and walk into a forest not far away.
Although no one can be seen at this time, Riku can still sense what is happening inside - Kawahara is breaking off branches.
The sound of feet stepping on the soil, the sound of cloth gently rubbing against grass leaves, and an extremely crisp "click".
……
Kawahara broke off a Y-shaped branch, then pulled a fairly tough vine from the bushes and wrapped it around the branch. He finally made a slingshot that he used to play with as a child.
This thing should also be considered as something like "shooting", right?
Originally, he planned to let Rick get familiar with the other three forms before experiencing the Pegasus form with extraordinary senses, so he didn't bring a bow and arrow with him today.
The reason for doing this was mainly because when Yusuke Godai transformed into the Pegasus form for the first time, the impact of the amount of information was too strong, and his spirit exploded so much that he was forced back into the white life-saving form.
From this we can see that it is better for newcomers not to face such great challenges at the beginning.
But Rick seems to have adapted pretty quickly.
When Kawahara returned with the slingshot, Riku was still standing there motionless, looking at him with his emerald green compound eyes.
"What do you feel?"
He asked like a teacher checking homework.
Rick thought for a moment and said, "I feel... wind, sand, insects, and..."
"Be more specific."
Kawahara interrupted him and said, "For example, you see the traces left by insects crawling, or you see how many times a leaf turns when the wind blows it down - more specific things like that."
Rick's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Ah! I did see these! And there's sand - sand..."
Kawahara: "..."
It seems that the language lacks expressive power.
Kawahara didn't make things difficult for him. He handed him the slingshot he had just made and said, "The second feature of the Pegasus form is his weapon, the Pegasus Crossbow."
"Pegasus Crossbow?" Rick's eyes were full of curiosity.
"When you hold something that reminds you of shooting, that thing will become the Pegasus form's exclusive weapon, the 'Pegasus Crossbow'. So now, use the power of the Yamadam Spirit Stone like you did just now, and materialize your thoughts into the weapon in your hand." Kawahara said.
"I understand!" Rick nodded heavily.
So he held a simple slingshot in his hand, and when he raised it, the intention in his heart triggered the release of Pegasus energy.
In a flash, the slingshot turned into a green crossbow with green control beads inlaid on the main body. Rick could sense the power connection transmitted from this weapon.
“It really has become like this!”
"Well, then, see that tree on that hill? Now use the Pegasus crossbow to shoot that tree."
Kawahara turned around and pointed to a high mountain hundreds of miles away and said.
Rick looked over and said, "..."
This is too far!
And there are a lot of trees on that mountain!
He asked Kawahara innocently, "Teacher Kawahara, which tree are you talking about? What kind of tree is it?"
Kawahara looked at the mountain in the distance with its top covered in mist.
In fact, he couldn't see anything clearly.
But that didn't stop him from pointing at something casually: "Of course it's the tree on the top of the mountain. I want you to use the Pegasus crossbow to pierce its tallest branch. Can you do it?"
Rick: "..." Rick cautiously took two steps behind Kawahara, trying to roughly confirm which tree it was by the direction of his finger, then raised the Pegasus crossbow and aimed at it.
Rick's extraordinary senses allow him to clearly see the trees on the top of the mountain, and the professional skills required to aim at the target are replaced by his insight and judgment that have been stimulated to the extreme.
Then, as if ready to shoot, Rick pulled the crossbow, and the wings on both sides of the Pegasus crossbow retracted and expanded.
Finally pull the trigger!
call out--
The crossbow arrow shot out instantly!
Kawahara looked over, but with his powerless posture, he could only vaguely see that the crossbow arrow should be flying in that direction.
"Success!"
Then Rick's delighted voice told him the answer to the shot.
So Kawahara nodded calmly: "Well, in that case, let's move on to the next form."
Rick was stunned: "...Huh?"
Is this enough?
Just so he can shoot an arrow and then be gone?
Rick looked at the mountain, looked at his Pegasus crossbow, and finally looked at Kawahara, who had no intention of checking his results, with an uncertain look.
Seeing this, Kawahara pretended to be puzzled and asked back: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Rick: “…No?”
Probably not?
Kawahara continued to open the silk book and said: "The next form is the blue 'Blue Dragon Form' that I just asked you to transform into. Now try to transform."
Seeing that Kawahara had decisively started the next step, Rick finally had to hold his words back. After he let go of the Pegasus crossbow in his hand, it turned into an ordinary tree branch slingshot.
Rick took a deep breath and began to sense the power of the Yamadam Spirit Stone.
There were no unexpected events this time.
The spirit stone and the control bead flashed with light, and the blue Azure Dragon form instantly covered the Pegasus form, and the huge compound eyes also turned into blue-green.
"Is this the Azure Dragon form?"
Rick raised his hand and clenched his fist, somewhat alert to the possibility that he might experience painful symptoms again.
But this time he didn't feel anything.
Kawahara picked up a stick from the ground and threw it to him: "Blue Dragon Form, the weapon is the 'Blue Dragon Stick', he can turn anything he associates with a long object into his weapon."
Rick subconsciously took the flying wooden stick. After hearing this, he remembered when he just transformed into the Pegasus crossbow.
So the next moment, the wooden stick in his hand turned into a green dragon stick with blue control beads inlaid at both ends.
"This is the Qinglong Stick!"
"The Azure Dragon form focuses on flexibility and responsiveness. Its jumping ability and movement speed are stronger than other forms, but its attack power is relatively weak, so the Azure Dragon Stick is a weapon that exists to make up for its lack of strength." Kawahara explained.
“I really feel a lot more relaxed!”
Rick found it interesting and started to spin the Qinglong stick in his hand without any instruction, making a whistling sound when he swung it.
Kawahara looked at him calmly: "So now, I want you to go to the top of that mountain and bring me the branch you just shot. And you have to come back within ten minutes."
Rick, who was swinging the Qinglong stick, suddenly felt his hand tremble, and the stick fell to the ground with a thud.
Rick looked at him blankly.
Kawahara smiled and said, "You can do that, right?"
Rick: "..."
……
……
Finally, Qinglong Kongwo ran over there.
Kawahara also made a rough calculation and found that the mountain should be about a hundred miles away from here. So with the speed of the Blue Dragon form, it would be completely possible to run back and forth within ten minutes.
As for the terrain obstacles you might encounter?
That is something the soldiers themselves have to consider how to solve.
After watching Rick leave, Kawahara casually found a big rock to sit on, opened the silk book and read the contents recorded at the back.
And the last record about the spirit stone -
It is the "Ultimate Darkness"!
This is also what Kawahara fears the most, especially after he has experienced his emotions gradually becoming more intense in just ten seconds of transformation.
His broken belt seemed to be more easily controlled by his fighting instinct.
That’s really strange, did this belt appear in the original show?
Kawahara couldn't remember either.
He continued to flip through the silk book, trying to see if there was any way to repair the spirit stone, but at this time, Kawahara suddenly felt the same throbbing again.
——What's nearby?
Kawahara suddenly stood up and followed the induction through the grove where he had just made the slingshot. In front of him was a large field with yellow rice stretching to the foot of the mountain in the distance.
The weather is very hot now, and it should be time to harvest rice.
Kawahara first saw a head of fluffy long hair like seaweed at the edge of the field, and then his gaze moved to the other person's white cotton and linen long skirt that fell on the gully of the field. The hanging edge of the skirt was stained with wet mud, and it looked like she had been mopping the floor in a mud puddle.
"you……"
Kawahara almost blurted out the code name "B1".
The girl squatting there also turned her head and looked over.
Different from her unruly and messy appearance, the girl had an indifferent expression on her face, and the white rose tattoo on her forehead added a touch of otherworldly temperament.
"The millet looks like it's almost ripe."
The girl spoke coldly, holding a heavy, broken ear of rice in her hand.
Kawahara stared at her and said, "You are the Gurongi, right? I heard that the Gurongi tribe has been a nomadic tribe that has lived by invasion and plunder since ancient times. Do you also care about when the millet will mature?"
"Of course."
The girl stood up expressionlessly and said, "Because, after we occupy your village, all these things will be ours."
Because that’s what it is – plunder!
After looking into those emotionless and indifferent eyes, Kawahara suddenly felt a chill.
"What happens after this?"
Kawahara stared into her eyes. "If you keep plundering until you can no longer find places to invade, how will you, the Gurongi clan, survive? Or - will you just use the "Ultimate Darkness" to destroy the entire world?"
The girl's expression suddenly froze, and she didn't know which words had captured her attention.
But she just looked at Kawahara without saying anything. After a while, she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Can I ask you one last question?!"
Kawahara quickly called out to her.
The girl stopped and looked sideways at him expressionlessly.
Kawahara asked seriously, "The sorcerer in our village is also from your Gurongi clan, right?"
He probed in a firm tone.
Hearing this, the girl's eyes moved slightly, and then she pulled the corner of her mouth towards him imperceptibly. At that moment, a mysterious smile seemed to reveal itself.
Then the girl turned around and strode away.
Kawahara didn't stop her this time.
Looking at the yellow grain fields in front of him, his heart felt cold.
That sorcerer is really Gurongi.
……
……
Rose Girl is a very complex character. Judging from the show, she seems to have no desires or demands, but she has always supported and hosted Gurongi's games.
Moreover, compared to those Gurongi who only care about killing and playing games, she has some understanding of the human race from her own observations. I will explain the analysis of this character while writing it later. I can't see anything at the moment.
