Chapter 917: 2 Peaches and 4 Warriors
Chapter 917 Two Peaches and Four Warriors
"Others... shouldn't have any major problems."
After touching the strange hair on his neck, Director Sagittarius frowned and replied:
"Among the four of us, Cancer and I are nearing the end of our lives, and you and Pisces are lacking in souls. We are all restrained by the power of death, and after being hit head-on by the Cliff of the End, we naturally cannot escape.
The remaining Capricorn and Huangdao directors are also no match for the Pillar God, but they are much further away from death than us, and have a stronger ability to resist the power of death. It is not difficult for them to retreat after exhausting their strength."
"more than."
Director Cancer, who was hanging around on the other side, added:
"I was the last one to be pulled down. When I was hit, the lantern that could lead to the Cliff of the End had been smashed by Capricorn and his men. Without the lantern, the six-faced elephant deer could no longer drag the Cliff of the End across."
"Huh... that's good..."
After listening to the words of Director Cancer and Director Sagittarius, Director Pisces, who looked sleepy, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then said with all his strength:
"When we came down, the dead owner and the Croweye Granny were completely disabled, only half of the Horikawa Yellow Earthworm was left, and two and a half of the six-faced elephant deer's incarnations were gone. Now the rebirth lamp that can activate the Cliff of the End is also broken. It won't be difficult to get rid of it."
"Ahem...but we still couldn't stop it after all."
After coughing twice with a painful expression, the Taurus director next to him sighed.
“Although half of them are gone, as long as the six-faced elephant deer returns to the human world with the power of death, it will definitely bring a huge amount of death…”
"There's nothing I can do about it... I tried my best and even risked my life."
Upon hearing this, Director Cancer couldn't help but sigh, and then said helplessly:
“If it were in the real world or the astral realm, I could hold off a Pillar God in a one-on-one fight, but this time we’re fighting in the realm of the dead, which is like stepping directly into their power. We all have our own problems, and we’re being restrained too badly.
If, as planned, there were only two Pillar God-level Lords, the Faceless Man and the Carver, then they would have won without a doubt, but who knew that a six-faced elephant deer would appear? In a world where death is the primary authority, facing six Death Pillar Gods in their prime, it was already quite good to be able to fight like this.
Besides, if there hadn't been a problem with my soul, I would have been able to take one more away... Jeanne, do you really not think that someone has tampered with your soul?"
“I really don’t have that feeling…”
Looking at the looks from the other three directors, Director Taurus couldn't help but check his soul again, then shook his head and said:
"Everything is really normal. I am very sure that my soul has not been tampered with by anyone... But if your souls have been tampered with by someone, how come you only discovered something wrong now?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Why don't you talk?"
"Let me tell you..."
After a moment of silence, Director Sagittarius said with a complicated expression:
"Jeanne, the one who attacked us was most likely the Third Generation."
"?!!!"
"I think so……"
The Cancer director beside him nodded and analyzed with a bad look on his face:
"After arriving at the Dead Realm, we have been staying in the Sage Cemetery, protected by the rules there. No matter how strong the six-faced elephant deer is, it is impossible for it to bypass the perception of the Third Generation Master and attack our souls silently. Therefore, the person who plotted against us can only be the Third Generation Master."
"But... this doesn't make sense..."
Director Jinniu hesitated for a moment and asked in confusion:
"There must be a reason why the Third Master plotted against us, right? What is his purpose?"
"If you ask me about my purpose, it's of course to save your lives~"
“?!!!” Hearing the familiar voice coming from above, the four directors who were holding a small meeting couldn’t help but look up at the same time. Amid their stunned expressions, a square head with sparse hair popped out from the edge of the cliff and gave them a smug smile.
"Sandaime-sama?!"
Looking at the old face that appeared on the cliff, the four directors floating below the Cliff of the End could not help but be stunned, and then hurriedly asked:
"What brings you here?"
"Where's the six-faced elephant deer?"
"Did Capricorn and the others win?!"
"I didn't win. That Capricorn brat ran away!"
After taking a look at the four seriously injured directors below, especially Director Taurus who was seriously injured and floating at the bottom, the third-generation director's old face suddenly smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face.
"After you guys were swept away, Capricorn realized that the situation was not right. He decided that it would be a waste of time to continue fighting, so he directly opened a [Heavenly Trail] and sent the other guys to Heaven Mountain.
But Heaven Mountain is too far from the Dead World. It will probably take them more than half a month to get there. If they want to come back, it will probably take more than a month."
"..."
So... after completing this mission, Director Huang Dao and his team retreated successfully, and only the four of us directors were killed?
"What's that expression on your face?"
After seeing the somewhat awkward expressions of several directors, the third-generation old man couldn't help but suddenly stop smiling, and then he sulked and scolded:
"Capricorn didn't sell you out. He just saw that the situation was not right and led his men to retreat in time to preserve some manpower for the bureau. You guys always want to die together, you really should learn from him!
Even if you guys can replace the two incarnations of the six-faced elephant deer after you have sacrificed your lives, what will happen next? The bureau has lost four directors at once, who will take charge next? Do you think you can absorb the descendants of the earth into the bureau and give them a few director positions?
Tsk... If I hadn't been cautious enough and done some tricks in advance, and pulled you back at the critical moment, you wouldn't even have the chance to float under the Cliff of the End now!"
"..."
If we remember correctly, weren't you the one who yelled at us to go up and do it? Why are you now saying that we were too impulsive? You are the only one who said all the good and bad things, right?
They were very angry about the third generation's behavior of urinating and defecating on the high ground, but seeing his smug look, the directors' hearts, which had been hanging in their throats, finally settled down safely.
"Third generation sir."
After shouting loudly and interrupting the Third Director's reprimand, Director Shooter asked loudly:
"How's the six-faced elephant deer? Since you're here, it should have been dealt with, right?"
"Of course!"
The old man of the third generation raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then he clung to the edge of the cliff and replied with a smug look in his eyes:
"Under my command, that person took the anomaly I forged and set up an ambush at the place I designated, killing the six-faced elephant deer before it entered the world!"
"?!!!"
"Haha, now you know why I'm the most powerful director? Even if I don't have the power I had before, I still have my brains!"
Looking at the four directors below with surprised faces, the third-generation old man raised his head slightly and hummed:
"You little brats, you actually suspected me just now... If I didn't plot against you, would it be so easy to get rid of the six-faced elephant deer this time?
If only two incarnations died, the six-faced elephant deer would definitely go to the human world to take a look, but if you killed four or five incarnations in one go, it would have to recover from its wounds before it could return to the human world... Hey? You guys should be quiet and stop moving around! Otherwise it will be hard to aim!"
After shouting twice towards the bottom of the cliff to let the directors keep their bodies stable, the third-generation old man glanced at Leon who was silently loading behind him, and then shouted towards the bottom of the cliff with a smile:
"Although you are not dead, you may not all be saved. After killing the six-faced elephant deer, that guy only has two nails left in his hand. At most, he can save two people.
As for the remaining two, they will have to continue floating down there. He will have a chance to rescue them after he kills two more Pillar Gods... So what do you say? Which two will come up?"
