Chapter 408: Forbidden Apple
Swah——
Kawahara quickly turned sideways, and the vines that attacked him passed by and knocked over the already collapsed tables and chairs in the lobby.
But after this attack, there was no more movement from behind the half-open door.
It looked like a warning.
But Kawahara felt that the other party was giving him directions, so he walked straight over and pushed open the door.
The area at the back seemed to be the rest area of the nursery. There were half-open, shabby doors on both sides of the corridor, except for one door which was sealed with a "No Entry" label and bound by wooden boards.
"Bang!"
Kawahara kicked the door open!
Behind the door was a dim passage leading underground.
"No way……"
Kawahara sighed speechlessly. He had opened two doors and still hadn't met anyone. He couldn't help but feel like he was playing a level-clearing game.
But he did not continue walking down. Instead, he turned his head to look at the building connected to this door, then kicked open the window on the side of the corridor and climbed out.
The rest area of the nursery was connected to the building in the backyard. As soon as he climbed out, he saw a primary alien monster wandering in the yard.
After noticing him, the alien hermit crab rushed over immediately, and the shell covering its head cracked open, revealing the flesh and blood and fine and sharp teeth inside.
Kawahara didn't even look at the crack it created, and the alien rushing over ran seamlessly into the underworld of Helheim, and then the crack closed.
He said towards the building in the backyard, "I know where you are. If you don't want me to tear this whole place down, just come out on your own."
After these words were spoken, the iron door of a building that looked like a factory was pushed open, and a woman in black combat uniform walked out.
"Red Moon Vine Fruit?" Kawahara looked at her.
"You have the power to control the 'cracks'. Are you from the World Tree Consortium?"
Zhu Yuetengguo said this without comment, and raised his gun directly at Kawahara with a cold expression.
So Kawahara answered the question irrelevantly: "I heard from Sengoku Ryoma that the "Apple Lock Seed" is in your hands. I am very interested in this fruit. Can you give it to me?"
He also sold Zhan Ji Ling Ma by the way.
Upon hearing this name, Zhu Yuetengguo's expression suddenly changed: "Zhan Ji Lingma?!"
She didn't say any more nonsense. Zhu Yuetengguo quickly put on the Zhan Ji driver and took out a red locking seed to start it.
"Ringo!"
Kawahara paused when he heard Suozane singing the name.
This apple doesn't sound very pure?
After all, his own lock name is "Bad Apple" instead of "Bad Ringo".
And Zhu Yue Teng Guo had already cut off the fruit, and a huge red apple armor appeared from the crack, instantly covering her original body.
"Come On!"
『Ringo Arms』
"Desire Forbidden Fruits!" 』
——Forbidden Apple Armor!
The apple armor cut into several pieces looked like a bright red color tempered by blood. The apple weapon that combined a sword and shield emerged in the light, and Zhu Yue Teng Guo pulled out a double-edged sword from it.
She raised her double-edged sword as if praying and whispered, "Everyone from the World Tree Consortium is my enemy!"
Kawahara threw out the dragon fruit lock seed: "In this case, please help me test the power of the apple first."
"Dragon!"
"Lock On!"
The locking seed in the air fell accurately into the groove of the Sengoku driver. Kawahara then put on the belt and raised his hand to move the handle of the knife.
"Soiya!" 』
"Dragon Arms!"
Crimson flames burned up, and three irregular gear-shaped cloaks rose up. The next moment, the sonic arrow appeared in his hand, and Kawahara pulled the arrow towards the opposite side.
"call out--"
Zhu Yuetengguo looked at this armor he had never seen before with some surprise. When the energy arrows came, he raised his apple shield reflexively to block it in front of him. Bang! Bang! Bang!
The arrows that landed on the shield one after another were splashing sparks. Zhu Yuetengguo, who blocked this wave of attacks effortlessly, snorted coldly and rushed forward with a double-edged sword in hand!
"clang!"
Kawahara grabbed the sonic arrow in his backhand and met the attack with the blade of the bow, and instantly felt a huge force coming from the opposite side.
The dark red compound eyes of the dragon fruit armor lit up slightly.
Zhu Yuetengguo's attack came again fiercely. The fighting style she displayed was completely unlike that of an ordinary girl. After swinging the blade of the sonic arrow with the double-edged sword in her right hand, she suddenly raised the apple shield and rushed forward!
However, Kawahara jumped back first to create some distance. The sonic arrow turned half a circle in his palm and was held by him. An energy arrow instantly rushed towards Zhu Yue Tengguo who wanted to chase him!
"boom!"
The flaming arrow grazed the edge of the apple shield and blasted a charred crater on the tree trunk behind it.
Zhu Yuetengguo staggered, but Kawahara, who suddenly appeared in front of her, had already swung down a sonic arrow, and the blades on both sides of his body chopped down on her head in the face of her astonishment!
“Bang—”
Zhu Yuetengguo quickly raised her shield across her body, and the heavy chopping of the blade created a string of sparks on the shield. Although the apple shield could disperse most of the force, the huge impact force still caused her to fly out with the shield.
Bang——Bang——
The red moon vine fruit fell directly into the woods behind and rolled on the ground for several times. She managed to stand up and looked up, and saw Kawahara, who was still standing in the yard, had already drawn his bow and loaded arrows.
She was startled and quickly rushed to the side. The energy arrow exploded at her heel, and the kicked up dirt covered her body.
Zhu Yuetengguo did not dare to stop, and rolled sideways again to pick up the apple shield that fell not far away. At this time, the bow blade of the sonic arrow had already chopped in front of him!
——What a sudden speed!
"boom!"
While she raised the Apple Shield to block hastily, she never forgot to look for opportunities to counterattack, and the double-edged sword in her other hand suddenly stabbed at the opposite side from the side!
However, Kawahara flipped his wrist and used the bow to catch the blade, then with a little force he threw the sword out.
Zhu Yuetengguo staggered to the right and watched his weapon fly out of his hand and pierce into the tree trunk with a clang.
Before she could react, Kawahara suddenly raised his foot and kicked the shield. Zhu Yue Tengguo was caught off guard and took several steps back.
At this moment, Zhu Yuetengguo, who seemed to have failed to attack the opponent from beginning to end, was already a little flustered and looked at the dragon fruit armor opposite at a loss.
"Are you..."
Kawahara answered her by drawing his bow without saying a word.
When the red energy of the sonic arrow condensed to its brightest, the flaming arrow flew away with a sudden sound of breaking through the air and slammed into the Apple armor!
"Boom——"
The blast blew away the apple shield, and Zhu Yuetengguo screamed and fell out again, and the armor on his body was removed in a flashing red light.
Kawahara looked at the experimental results, then took out the dragon fruit seed and walked over there.
Zhu Yuetengguo, who was lying on the ground, struggled to raise half of his body and looked at the apple seed that had fallen beside him. Just as he was about to reach out to pick it up, another hand picked it up first.
"The strength is actually pretty good, but you probably aren't suitable for this type of lock."
Kawahara looked at Apple and said something calmly, then turned around and was about to leave, but just as he raised his foot, a hand grabbed his trouser leg.
"you--"
Zhu Yuetengguo looked at him with hatred in her eyes: "Since you work for the World Tree Consortium, you should already know my identity...Aren't you going to kill me?"
Kawahara turned around and looked at her: "I'm not working for the World Tree Foundation. We're not even in a partnership. There's no reason for me to kill you."
He was just curious about the apples in this world.
Zhu Yuetengguo slowly loosened his fingers, staggered to his feet, and smiled miserably: "Really... But even if you don't kill me, I can't live anymore."
As if being eroded, the skin on her face suddenly became dry, and a smell of decay and exhaustion emanated from her body.
Because of the frequent use of failed apple lock seeds, her body had long been in tatters.
Kawahara, who was looking at her, paused slightly, then gently raised his hand and touched her withering face. Zhu Yue Tengguo was dazed for a moment as she looked into those dark eyes.
"That……"
Kawahara said calmly, "Don't die in front of me."
