Chapter 20: Warriors Who Summon the Power of Thunder and Lightning

The Nagano Prefectural Police Department set up a cordon outside the Kurodake ruins, and there were many people on duty during the day, but Kawahara entered from the back mountain.

The inside of the ruins was brightly lit.

A brutal massacre had once taken place here, but now that more than a month had passed, all traces had been almost cleaned up, although Kawahara could still see some bloodstains remaining in the sand.

The entire Jiulangyue ruins are dominated by the large cave where the first sarcophagus was discovered. The interior of the mountain is extremely huge, with intermittent low slopes connecting to the mountains behind.

It looks like the mountains are used as the carrier of the tomb.

But in fact, the more Kawahara looked, the more he felt that some of the paths in the cave looked like the original village roads.

And they are the roads from the village center to the sacrificial square.

After all, he only wandered around this place after he recovered, and now those memories are still fresh in his mind!
Unexpectedly, things have changed over time and the village has turned into mountains.

Kawahara was walking alone in the cave. Although he had no navigation or direction, he was walking towards the largest cave.

Then he was the first to reach his own tomb.

This is a very small tomb chamber. In the corner there is a mess of rubble that looks like some object. There is a sunken mark in the center, which is probably where the sarcophagus is placed.

Kawahara has no memory of arriving here, and he was probably sealed away by Riku by then.

He did not continue to obtain information from this place. He simply glanced around, slightly suspecting that this might be the house where he lived "before he was alive", and then continued to walk towards the place where he sensed it.

There was a little noise outside.

Kawahara appeared in the internal passage of the cave entrance, glanced at the guards guarding the door, then walked straight across from behind them and came to the inner room.

No one was exploring the interior of the ruins, only Kawahara was quietly groping around here.

So what exactly is it?

He looked around carefully, and suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He squatted down, pushed away the rubble on the ground, and picked up something that looked like a stone fragment.

This is……

Belt fragments?

But it's not the Agur belt, it seems to be Gurongi's Kidron belt.

Kawahara frowned and looked at it, thinking for a while, then continued to move the gravel in other places on the ground, and turned out a pile of small pieces of stone by sensing.

He felt like a rag picker now.

Then I picked up a pile of scrap metal.

"Heh, Daguba..."

Looking at the small piece of stone fragments pieced together on the ground, Kawahara raised the corners of his lips and sneered.

He seemed to remember something.

The Daguba that was revived in modern times was not in its perfect form at first, because his belt was broken in the battle with "Kuga" in the ancient times, so he had been trying to repair it in the early stages.

However, even though it is an incomplete form, Daguba's power is still at the top of the game.

Moreover, it is far beyond what Yusuke Godai can handle at this stage.

Not to mention that Daguba, who recovered in the later period, directly reached his complete form and possessed an ultimate form that was even more terrifying than in the ancient times.

But now...

Kawahara smiled meaningfully and put away the piece of belt.

He then glanced around the tomb and suddenly looked up.

The dome of the cave is very high. If this place was submerged by the mountain during the great changes in the world, such a huge pit should not have appeared.

If the place where the first sarcophagus was placed was the original village square, then this place...

Kawahara walked up the high stone steps, looked at the stone pillar in front of him that supported the cave, and raised his hand to press it.

The vague yet clear memories of that moment flooded into my mind.

……

Foggy dark sky.

Heavy rain.

The rain washed away the bloodstains on the ground. The once vibrant village was shrouded in a deep haze. The decadent smell of fighting and battles swept across this once peaceful land.

Without the suppression of the King of the Gurongi, the Gurongi, which are even lower in level than the "Zu Group", have become pure beasts. They have no reason and no order, and only know how to fight and kill.

After most of the high-level Gurongi chose to leave Linduo Village.

Only these low-level Gurongi are still mindlessly excited.

Finally they waited for a thunderstorm day.

"Rick, you know..."

On the altar in the center of the village square.

The dark warrior stood quietly under the stone tablet.

He looked at the red warriors standing below and taught with emotionless words: "In times when human power is beyond our reach, we can still borrow the power of nature to make ourselves stronger."

The red warrior looked at him blankly and helplessly: "What is this...?"

In response to this question, the dark warrior simply raised his hand and pressed it lightly on the stone tablet beside him.

"look--"

The rain was still falling, almost blinding the view.

Thunder rumbled in the sky filled with dark clouds, and a few white lights were faintly visible through the clouds.

Rick first looked at the person in front of him blankly, then as if he realized something, he looked up at the sky again.

The next moment, a huge white beam of light passed through the black clouds, fell from the sky, and exploded towards the stone tablet in the center with a deafening sound!

"Boom!"

sizzle sizzle...

A huge electric current spread out from the altar.

Amid the heavy rain, a strong wind suddenly howled, and the fine sand and gravel rustled and reassembled the stone tablet into a sharp tower.

Then, when the thunder and lightning fell from the sky, the tall tower also exploded and scattered like a cannon. The white electric light spread high and sprinkled in all directions to every corner of the village, accurately locking onto all the disgusting auras in this basin surrounded by mountains!

"boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Then dense explosions swept through the wind and rain.

A blinding flame burned.

Rick looked at the scene in shock.

The dark warrior bathed in destructive thunder and lightning was outlined by golden lightning, adding an eerie sense of sacredness to the terrifying darkness.

But the next moment, he suddenly reacted and rushed over there.

"No! Stop it! Teacher Kawahara——"

However, the raging lightning spread to him, and Rick's forward body suddenly stiffened.

He sensed an extremely domineering force encroaching in, rampaging and transforming his limbs and bones, and finally madly converging towards the "Yamadam Spirit Stone" in his abdomen.

it's painful!
This is simply not something that ordinary people can endure, and it has even reached the level of a near-death experience.

Rick suddenly knelt on the ground. He struggled to look at the shadowy figure in the thunder and lightning, and saw that the village's stone tablet was like a blooming flower bud. The huge steel shadows on the top spread out in a semicircular trajectory and covered the entire village.

This power...will bury everyone here!
So in the unbearable pain, the red warrior turned green, and a slingshot was transformed into a Pegasus crossbow.

But after aiming the crossbow at the shadow on the opposite side, Rick was unable to pull the trigger, even though he knew that in this state, he would not be able to bear to hesitate for even a second longer.

Because after the day when the village was attacked, Rick learned another lesson from his sober teacher.

——"Do you know why I always like to attack Gurongi's waist and abdomen? Because the belt inside is the fatal weakness of our kind of creatures. As long as the belt is broken, even if the opponent does not die immediately, his combat effectiveness will be reduced, and he will die sooner or later."

The crossbow arrow was vaguely aimed at the dark warrior's waist.

Rick was unable to pull the trigger, and the unbearable pain finally caused his willpower to collapse, and his Pegasus form turned into a white newborn form.

This was also Rick's first time experiencing this posture.

The teacher said that the white form "has no other function and can be transformed when you are about to die."

So he's going to die now?
Do not!
Not yet!
He still has a sister to protect!

Mio——

Then the next moment, Rick seemed to hear the sound of the sea, but when he listened carefully, he found that it was the sound of his blood flowing in his body.

The sounds of wind and rain intertwined and blew in my ears.

The huge steel needles covered the village in a semicircle. If all the power inside exploded, this place would no longer exist.

The expanding power wants to be vented unrestrainedly.

This is the destruction brought about by "Ultimate Darkness".

But when he heard that there was still blood flowing in his body, he seemed to suddenly realize——

He is not a weapon, nor was he born to be a "weapon". At this moment, he is still a human being with flesh and blood, who can think and live.

At this moment, reason suddenly returned.

When Rick came back to his senses from his near-death experience, under the dim sky and in the heavy rain, a girl with empty eyes was standing not far away, looking at this side.

And the dark sky had also stopped causing destruction and just looked over there as well.

Although I don't know what happened.

But Rick knew he had nothing to lose.

So he fell into a sleep without worry.

……

It wasn't sealed by Rick.

But Kawahara realized that his condition would not only destroy himself, but more troublesomely, it would also bring harm to everyone.

So when he woke up again, he finally chose to enter the seal himself.

From now on, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God.

He even remembered his last words.

——"You have already transformed into the sublimated form, it is impossible for you to lose to those Gurongis?"

……

So he had already mastered the power of thunder and lightning.

Kawahara withdrew his mind from the memory of the ruins, took his hand off the steel needle in front of the existing stone pillar supporting the dome, and slowly sat down on the steps.

Then he looked at his hands carefully.

He is really amazing...

There is actually a century-old cannon buried in Nagano Prefecture.

The village's stone tablet was reassembled into energy cannons by his molecules twice. Although he stopped in time, the released power might still be lingering inside.

Kawahara patted the stone pillar beside him with emotion, then, feeling he had rested enough, he stood up and prepared to leave.

But this time.

Kawahara sensed something faintly from the fragment he had put in his pocket, and his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and looked in a certain direction.

The feeling in my mind quickly passed through mountains and rivers, passed through layers of reinforced concrete buildings, entered a dark forest again, and went into a cave.

Finally, a young man in white clothes who was sitting cross-legged in the cave also opened his eyes in an instant.

There is a white tattoo mark on his forehead.

……

In the ruins of Jiulangyue.

Kawahara, who suddenly sensed this scene, came back to his senses in a trance. After a moment of hesitation, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It is Daguba revived in modern times!

He actually found it this way by accident!
OK! Now go brush it!
……

　……

　　I plan to work overtime and try to adjust the update back to 9 o'clock. I feel that 9 o'clock is more comfortable...
