Chapter 152 JOKER
Chapter 152 JOKER (22)
JOKER has no racial distinction, nor any awareness of evolution or civilization; it only has an ignorant fighting instinct.
But this monster is extremely powerful.
Defeating all the Undead seemed to be the reason for its creation.
As for the human Undead, he is so weak that he may not even be able to beat an ordinary Undead. But if you say he is very weak, his mental attack can temporarily control the JOKER's behavior.
Because the other Undeads are full of strong emotions, and each ancestor is fighting for his own race, they are not as easy to control as the JOKER who lacks self-awareness.
Faced with the sudden attack of JOKER, the wolf spider immediately stood in front of the human, and the look in its eyes when it looked at him spoke for itself.
But the human was not panicking at all at this moment, he just gestured to Kawahara.
Because the JOKER that rushed out from the forest didn't even look at them, the Undead prey, but just stared at Kawahara who had no buckle at all. It let out a low growl and slowly approached, its movements were very much like the test of those wild beasts before hunting.
Kawahara looked at JOKER with an unclear gaze, his body posture slightly lowered, and he was ready to respond at any time.
Swah——
JOKER suddenly pounced over. Kawahara quickly raised his hand to block and lowered his body to throw JOKER who was flying from above away, while also summoning the Aguru Belt.
But at the moment of transformation, Kawahara finally felt something was wrong.
The white newborn Kuuga covered his figure, and while Kawahara was confused, JOKER who fell on the opposite side turned around and rushed towards him again, stretching out his claws to grab him without any method like a wild beast.
"boom!"
Kawahara raised his hand to block the hook on its right hand, and punched it hard in the waist and abdomen, knocking JOKER back several steps.
He then took the time to check his condition, raised his hand to hold up the Aguru belt around his waist. The belt was still the black and gold version that had mutated from ancient times.
So why is it the first birth again?
——The Sealing Stone?!
Kawahara Takeshi suddenly thought of this thing.
But he didn't have the chance to settle the score with the stone slab, because JOKER attacked him again, slashing with the slender blade on his right wrist.
The newly born Kuuga's form was too weak, and Kawahara did not resist its attack head-on, but just kept dodging flexibly.
However, JOKER's attack was also extremely fierce. The two sides retreated all the way to the coast during the chase, and the surging waves hit the two from time to time.
wow-
The receding sea water flooded over his feet, and when the blade swung over his head again, Kawahara suddenly bent down and kicked JOKER with a sweeping kick!
Bang!
JOKER lost his balance and fell on the soft, soaked sand. Kawahara took this opportunity to step back for a distance, and the sealed energy immediately accumulated on his right foot.
The spirit stone control bead flashed a red light, and when JOKER supported his body and climbed up, Kawahara had already accelerated and rushed over. He jumped up halfway and kicked the monster below with full momentum!
"boom!"
The right foot kicked JOKER hard in the chest. The huge force caused it to fly backwards instantly and fall into the sea, creating a huge column of water.
A more violent impact suddenly broke out at this moment.
"Boom——!"
The fiery red light of the explosion spread from underwater to the sky. A strong force swept in all directions. The trees in the nearby mountains rustled, and huge waves were raised on the sea surface because of this force.
Wow…
The beach near the explosion was washed by the waves, and the surging water level went straight up to the low slope connecting to the mountain forest. The humans and wolf spider Undead who were swept by the shock wave had already jumped to a higher place.
Only the "White Newborn Kuuga" standing on the beach was drowned by the sea with a confused look on his face... at a loss as to what to do.
Kawahara looked at his palms, then clenched his fists, somewhat bewildered by the ultimate power unleashed by the newly born Kuuga.
Is this still a life-saving form?
——It really saves my life!
The humans standing on the hillside were looking at the figure over there with bright eyes.
"This power..."
He squatted down leisurely, with a knowing smile on his face: "Just as I expected, right, wolf spider!"
The wolf spider nodded silently in agreement.
The goal of these two Undeads is to become the winners, but they do not intend to participate in the fierce battle, so they have been avoiding encounters with other races. Naturally, they will not rashly approach an unidentified existence at this moment.
Unless that existence has some other use.
……
Kawahara is still exploring the power within himself.
At this moment, the sea surface not far away suddenly erupted in a commotion, as if something was causing trouble under the water, and the surging water suddenly became violent.
"Wow!"
JOKER was suddenly thrown out from underwater by a violet tentacle and fell on the beach in a rather embarrassing manner. It tried to stand up, but its severely injured body made it impossible to get up.
Kawahara looked towards the sea and saw a violet monster with tentacles for arms walking out of the water.
Judging from the Ouroboros buckle on the other party's waist, this is also an Undead, and Kawahara also learned the other party's race in a single thought.
——Jellyfish Undead.
"I never thought that the great JOKER would fall to this point. That's great! Let me defeat you!" Jellyfish shouted excitedly.
"That guy has been hiding in the sea..."
The wolf spider on the hillside was also a little surprised to see him, and then became annoyed: "I was so careless, I didn't even notice it!"
Wolf spiders can determine the location of the Undead from the wind, and the two rely on this keen detection to carefully avoid battles with other races every time.
The humans didn't mind this: "It doesn't matter. After all, you won't be able to smell it if the smell is covered by the sea water." The jellyfish that walked out of the sea at this time did not rush to pursue the victory, but turned to look at Kawahara standing by the water, his eyes scanning from him to his waist.
"Huh? Why is your belt different?" Jellyfish asked puzzled.
Aside from the JOKERs who don't belong to any race, are there other Undeads with different buckles than theirs?
Kawahara looked at it silently without saying anything, and immediately took a stance to accumulate a second knight kick.
If you want to determine your own strength, the best way is to find a stake and hit it again.
The undead creature is indeed a suitable target.
The jellyfish, which had never seen such a posture, immediately became alert. It moved slowly, and when Kawahara rushed over and jumped into the air, it immediately swung out its tentacles to wrap around JOKER who was not far away and blocked it in front of it!
The seemingly ordinary knight's kick hit JOKER hard again, and the jellyfish behind it was kicked away as well.
Bang!Bang!
The two figures fell forward and backward, rolling and plowing a groove on the beach. The shield in front did not seem to provide it with any defense.
Golden electric light filled JOKER's body. This time, without the obstruction of the sea water, Kawahara could see more clearly the power erupting from it.
"Boom!"
Another violent explosion.
The rising flames illuminated almost half of the sky, and the shock wave caused the trees to sway in one direction.
When the flames dissipated, lying on the ground was the motionless jellyfish Undead, and after being quiet for a while, JOKER began to struggle slightly again.
Kawahara was surprised that he could still get up after taking two knight's kicks.
This tenacious vitality...
As expected, he is the JOKER who is the incarnation of cockroach!
At this moment, the black stone slab suddenly appeared in the air above the explosion, and the jellyfish Undead lying on the ground was directly transformed into a card and collected.
But there is no change in JOKER who is still struggling.
……
The shocking explosion that occurred on the coast has also attracted the attention of some Undead in the mountains and forests. They looked up and saw the Sealing Stone appear in the air, and their emotions became a little solemn.
The movement of the Sealing Stone means that the defeated race has appeared over there again, which also means that a battle has taken place over there.
But the destruction there just now was really too exaggerated!
Which Undead made this call?
Could it be JOKER?
Most of the Undead who noticed the movement on the beach guessed that it was JOKER's action, because in their perception, JOKER's existence is only to destroy the world, destroying the world irrationally and recklessly!
Then it seems reasonable to make that kind of noise.
I just don't know who it is fighting against.
And can they go over and take advantage of the opportunity now?
For example——the fight was too intense and both sides were injured!
……
On the coastal hillside.
The wolf spider suddenly turned his head to look at the dense forest behind him, and then said to the human: "There are quite a few Undead approaching here. They may come to investigate the situation. Should we leave?"
Although Wolf Spiders are King-class and are not afraid of fighting, humans look like they can die easily.
The human also looked behind him and said, "They should be here to deal with JOKER. They won't pay attention to us for the time being. Besides... that one looks like he can still fight."
Looking at the white Kuuga who walked in front of JOKER below, the human's mouth curled up into a smile.
……
JOKER tried his best to stand up, breathing heavily and hoarsely like a wild beast. His face covered with dark green crystals showed no emotional fluctuations, only instinctive struggle and fighting.
It stared at Kawahara who was walking towards it, and weakly swung the blade on its wrist guard, trying to continue the attack.
"JOKER..."
Kawahara tilted his head and looked at it. "You don't look like you can think. It's really strange that you will change so much in the future."
After casually sighing about this, Kawahara, who was standing one step away, lowered his head and looked at the belt buckle on JOKER's waist.
As he watched, JOKER's green heart-shaped belt buckle suddenly opened, and then it turned into a card in a twisting vortex and flew towards the Sealing Stone in the air.
Kawahara was stunned when he saw this scene.
What?
Why don't you give him another look?
Although this may not be the point, the point seems to be that he just had the thought of "Why hasn't JOKER been sealed yet", and this guy turned into a card!
Kawahara looked at the Sealing Stone in the air in astonishment. At the same time, the Undeads who were secretly observing the battle on the coast were also a little surprised.
It turned out that JOKER was defeated and sealed?
that is really good!
Then, when they fight against other races in the future, they will no longer have to worry about being ambushed and beaten two at a time by JOKER!
and many more……
So who was that thing that beat JOKER?
……
……
【Tips】
[Heart 2] The first human ancestor, whose card name is Spirit, is the only undead creature with a focus on "spiritual" abilities, so it is speculated (second setting) that his attack method is to influence consciousness.
ps: And when the modern JOKER was active disguised as "Aikawa Hajime", no undead creature recognized him as "Heart 2", so the ancestor of mankind ten thousand years ago might have survived to the end.
[King of Clubs] The ancestor of wolf spiders. Only when King of Clubs appeared did he recognize Aikawa Hajime as the image of Heart Two at a glance (the other Undead who knew about it later guessed it based on the plot), which means that King of Clubs might have seen Heart Two ten thousand years ago.
ps: So I guess (second setting) that these two may have formed an alliance ten thousand years ago. After all, the King of Clubs has a Buddhist character, and it can also rely on its talent to distinguish the position of Undead. Maybe it protected the Two of Hearts all the way to the end and won the victory.
