Greed, desire and malice...
As the dead, coveting and spying on the living.
them...
He wanted to eat Sakurai alive and devour her completely.
35. Be Serious - Thousands of Hammers, Endless Barrier, Max Magic Resistance
The American soldiers staggered towards Sakurai, looking even more miserable than patients who had just recovered from a serious illness.
But their monstrous malice towards the living and their attitude are more terrifying than the evil spirits from hell.
but--
"I can't ask for it."
Sakurai, who was looking forward to the fight between the immortals, curled his lips slightly, and with his backhand, he grasped the Aragami Fang and was about to step forward to give the sergeant a sword as a greeting for his new arrival.
At this time, he, who had no sense of pain, belatedly realized that something was wrong with his body.
Trauma, hunger, fatigue, sleepiness and other negative conditions were inflicted on Sakurai at the same time as the magic circle appeared.
Looking at the scars on his wrists, Sakurai frowned slightly.
Not being able to feel pain is more harmful than beneficial in the long run, especially when facing a strong enemy.
Even if one is immortal, there will still be many unnecessary loopholes if there is no way to know the exact physical condition of the other person.
It seems that I have to find a way to restore this part of the senses.
If what I recalled is correct, the reason why I didn't feel pain was because Sakuragawa was subjected to endless experiments when he was young.
In the [dream] I regained my sense of pain, which means...
Does it act on the body?
I hope the unscrupulous merchants can find a solution.
His body has memorized this state and takes it for granted. In this case, even countless resurrections cannot restore it.
Sakurai sighed silently and made a decision secretly.
No matter what, I have to get myself back to normal.
"You are distracted in the middle of a fight. Can't you see me clearly?"
Hearing the ghost sergeant's scolding, Sakurai turned his attention back to the battle.
"Sorry, I will focus my full attention on you from now on."
Expressing his apology earnestly, Sakurai clenched his fist and suddenly swung it out, shooting the hungry soldier who was approaching him in the head.
He was sure of one thing...
Just like his own Hundred Flowers·Soul Devouring Flames, would he be affected as long as he was within the range of Ghost Army Sergeant's magic circle?
It’s really...I finally developed a field with great difficulty, but how come it has become so popular?
Forget it. As the saying goes, it is rude not to reciprocate. Since you are doing this, I can't behave too badly.
After stretching his muscles, Sakurai concentrated and held his breath before speaking.
"Roar—"
"Wild God Fang, expand the domain."
"A Hundred Flowers in Disarray, Blazing Flames Devouring the Soul."
A fiery red lotus that burned the soul suddenly bloomed with Sakurai as the center.
The high temperature that fell on the soul evaporated the blood on the ground in an instant, and also dispelled all the negative effects on Sakurai.
To be exact, it was this blazing flame that killed Sakurai in an instant, completely resetting his state.
From the moment Sakurai developed Hundred Blossoms: Soul Devouring Flames, the first element was to kill yourself before killing the enemy.
His body and his soul are the key to opening the barrier.
The Wild God Fang devoured his soul and body in an instant, and then turned them into fuel to release a blazing flame barrier.
It takes the form of a translucent red lotus that blooms and then withers.
Before the 119-second countdown reaches zero, the barrier centered on him will burn all lives within it at all times.
There is no distinction between friend and foe, without exception.
This is what Sakurai developed, a way of fighting against enemies on a large scale, which changes his habit of only being able to kill one enemy at a time.
The scorching heat instantly ignited the surrounding American soldiers, and with painful wails, they burned and turned into ashes.
"My field is not bad, is it?"
The next moment after he finished speaking, Sakurai disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, the Aragami Fang had already pierced the sergeant's chest.
The sergeant, whose body was also on fire, pierced Sakurai's chest with his saber at the same time.
"It's so hot, but I won't die from this level of attack."
Looking down at the scarlet dagger on his chest, the sergeant's voice became extremely hoarse.
"is it?"
"Then I'm going to get serious. In return, you can be even stronger."
"If it's not strong enough, I'll be very disappointed."
He grasped the saber that was stuck in his chest with his left hand, and squeezed hard, breaking the saber into pieces.
The fragments of the blade flew in all directions, shining particularly brightly among the dying red lotus.
Without changing his expression, Sakurai pulled out the remaining blade from his body and threw it aside, grinning.
"Okay, come on then."
"kill me."
Throwing away the handle of the saber in his hand, the sergeant took out an old-fashioned matchlock gun, and his body with eight-pack abs instantly turned into skin and bones.
"Roar!!!"
As the sergeant growled, countless scars appeared on his body.
The eye-shaped barrier on the ground changed, and blood formed a huge triangle outside the huge eye.
The body that was constantly burned by the flame of the soul became shriveled in an instant.
Sakurai frowned slightly when he realized that his body was a little weak.
Is the curse getting stronger?
It's really an unreasonable ability.
But I'm not bad either.
Since you are serious, I will reveal a little bit...
The strongest trump card to deal with this situation.
......
Sakurai seldom dreams. After coming into this world, the first thing he dreamed of was his mother, the second time he dreamed of himself, and the third time he dreamed of...
【Eight-sided bright silver hammer】
That was the night after he developed Hundred Flowers·Soul Devouring Flames, and the night Xiao Yexiao stayed at his house.
Sakurai, who was sleeping against the wall, heard the sound of the octagonal silver hammer.
As one of Sakurai's partners, Eight-sided Silver Hammer became jealous.
Not wanting to be outdone, it told Sakurai that the Eight-sided Bright Silver Hammer also had a barrier that was not much worse than the Hundred Flowers·Fiery Soul Devouring Barrier.
Sakurai could develop it if he just worked a little harder.
After that, Sakurai began to meditate according to the instructions of the Eight-sided Silver Hammer.
After a night of meditation, he successfully found the mysterious feeling that the eight-sided bright silver hammer told him.
A barrier unique to the Eight-sided Bright Silver Hammer that absolutely restrains any negative effects came into being, and its name is—
"Reform yourself——"
"Eight-sided bright silver hammer, expand the domain."
"Thousands of hammers and endless barriers."
As he threw the Aragami Fang into the air, the octagonal silver hammer in his shoulder bag flew out by itself and fell into Sakurai's hands.
The invisible military spirit wrapped around Sakurai's body, covering him with a layer of bright golden veil.
In one's own field, one must temper oneself repeatedly and build up endless barriers.
A defensive area that is not compatible at all with the heavy war hammer, the Eight-sided Bright Silver Hammer.
Able to build a defensive barrier on Sakurai's body.
He ignored any curses and spells until the barrier was broken.
Under the protection of the barrier, he only acknowledged actual attacks.
In the words of the game -
He, Sakurai Eito, has maximum magic resistance.
36. Ghost Sergeant, recovered successfully
In fact, Sakurai originally thought that he would develop an ability to control gravity similar to the mountain god, but perhaps it was because he was disgusted by that strange ability after two battles with god-level spirits.
Or maybe it was because Eight-sided Bright Silver Hammer believed that after Aragami Ya had gained the ability to fight in groups, Sakurai's own safety became more important.
What was finally created was a powerful defense field that could grant Sakurai incredible magic immunity.
