"Have you found it?" Inside the air-raid shelter, Ishtar was ready. The silver dragon beneath him was poised to pounce, waiting only for the order to soar into the sky.
"Found it... um?" Shi Yin let out a soft sound of doubt.
"What's wrong?" Ishtar asked, puzzled. "Has something unexpected happened?"
"Well, they were originally planning to abandon the ceremony, but..." Shi Yin stroked her chin, "There's someone heading towards the ceremony. Did they sense something was wrong and rush over to help?"
"This aura... it feels like it belongs to Kita Kiyokawa." Shi Yin seemed somewhat hesitant.
"What? Regretting it?" Ishtar's eyes held a hint of a smile. "Anyway, we're not aiming for success this time. Since the world is so unpredictable this time, let's make the most of it and try again next time."
"No need," Shi Yin said calmly. "This time it went fairly smoothly."
"So, do your two little ones know that you sensed their betrayal from the beginning?" Ishtar chuckled. "Aren't you really going to try and win them back?"
I don't know if I should say that children are just innocent.
They had clearly been told from the beginning that no matter where their memories were, they could not escape Shi Yin's grasp.
Memory is Tokine's strongest ability. There are many interpretations of greed, but Tokine calls her ability memory. Isn't that enough to explain this?
"No need, you don't need to worry about it." Shi Yin shook her head: "Let's deal with the immediate problem first."
The dark red clouds in the sky had condensed into a ball, and Lu Lan was already prepared.
With the help of light-elemental ability users, the multi-functional high-tech radiation lamps equipped with precise sensor detectors illuminated the entire sky of Lulan, leaving no part of the mist undetected.
However, the area covered by this fog is quite large. Although Samael's location has been completely locked down, to kill him, we still need to find his true form.
Samael is a typical example of a stealthy, explosive attacker.
He would release fog to conceal his whereabouts like many assassins, but unlike assassins, he would not engage in point-to-point combat, killing with a knife to the throat in one strike.
On the contrary, once Samael reveals itself, its attack becomes a large-scale, devastating, heavy-duty offensive, making it more like a stealthy missile.
Using signal detectors, the superhumans in Lulan have already determined the area with the strongest zombie energy, which is similar to what Shiyin detected.
Perhaps not expecting to be targeted so fiercely, Samael could only hastily use the Doomsday Horn to order Lulan's zombies to keep gathering, buying him time to recharge.
However, these zombies certainly couldn't stop Ishtar and Tokine's progress.
If all the zombies in the entire Yanlong Kingdom were to gather here, it might pose a challenge for the two of them, since the Yanlong Kingdom has a vast territory and a large population, which means a large number of zombies as well.
However, Lulan is such a small place that even if all the zombies in the country came, it would only be the size of a zombie siege in one or two provinces of Yanlong Kingdom.
All residents obeyed the order and locked themselves in their homes, hiding completely.
Nowadays, the ordinary people who survive are all obedient and would never do something like "being a curious child who insists on going out even though they have been ordered not to go out."
After all, those curious kids have long been eliminated through rounds of selection.
From a high vantage point, one can see various supernatural abilities appearing on the land of Lulan from time to time, with fireworks exploding in large bursts, flying dragons standing out conspicuously in the air, flames, ice shards, beams of light, wind blades... From a distance, the entire Lulan area almost looks like fireworks.
In the end, Shi Yin found it too troublesome and simply released a large number of memory illusions, causing the zombies to run around like headless flies or kill each other.
Although the location has been basically determined, the sky is still shrouded in mist, which makes it difficult for Samael to move through the clouds at any time.
Ishtar and Shion stood on a tall building, the entire building covered in ice, the slippery ice preventing the zombies from climbing up.
"What do we do now?" Ishtar waved her staff, gathering some of the dragons. "If I can buy some time, I can use light to dispel them."
“It’s alright, I’ll handle it.” Shi Yin said calmly, “I’ll use the Doomsday Horn to force him to come out, but this time it might be a bit troublesome.”
"Because Samael used the arrogant doomsday horn?" Ishtar asked.
“Yes, arrogance has a bit of a restraining effect on me; we restrain each other.” Shi Yin nodded. “I might get hurt, so you’ll have to pick me up. It would be best if Helmod could take me back to the moon for the time being.”
"I see." Ishtar seemed thoughtful, then agreed: "Okay, shall we begin now?"
"Hmm." Shi Yin looked up at the sky, and a bull horn appeared in her hand.
Shi Yin did not play the instrument, but the exquisite dark red horn began to spin in front of her.
"Waaaaah—"
Ishtar frowned and couldn't help but take a step back. When the power of the new world emanating from Tokine was too strong, it made her very uncomfortable.
In the past, Tokine had always suppressed it with positive force, but for some reason, Ishtar felt that almost all of Tokine's positive force had disappeared.
The sound waves rippled outwards in circles, having no offensive effect. However, to the zombies, the Doomsday Horn was a rallying cry for an attack, a divine command, and their very instinct.
Samael was forced to reveal his true form and blow his horn to confront Shiyin. His horn was also dark red, exactly the same as Shiyin's. The two sound waves collided and canceled each other out.
This is a visually striking image of someone enraged, with fiery red hair standing on end, skin covered in dark scales, and six pairs of demonic wings resembling dragon wings blotting out the sky behind him. He holds what looks like a staff or a spear.
Shi Yin stepped forward, her expression unchanged.
[Phaethon is awakening.]
[Fahrenheit signal detection problem...]
[The artificial system detected that an individual with supernatural abilities was maliciously interfering with the signal, causing signal chaos. The signal within the area surrounding the host has been successfully corrected.]
[Phaethon has successfully connected with Mr. Helmod and has conjured an earpiece in his right ear for his convenience.]
Shi Yin touched her right ear and indeed felt an earphone hanging on it.
"Shiyin, you dare to provoke me even when you're injured!" Samael was furious.
"Being injured is enough to deal with you," Shi Yin said calmly. "But you're just a failed experiment."
"Very well! Then let me see how you, unable to fully unleash your power, can withstand my full-force attack!" Samael raised his scepter, his wings transforming into crimson energy, constantly gathering an evil red light.
As the red light grew stronger, Shi Yin stepped forward and stretched out her right hand, which shimmered with golden light—it was the familiar golden spear.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her chest, and the strength in her hands vanished. Shi Yin stared in shock at the sword that had pierced her chest from behind, lying face down on the ground, pinned to the ground by the sword.
Immediately afterwards, the claws of two giant dragons stepped on her body, and Shi Yin felt the coldness coming from the longsword, her blood freezing.
"Is...Ta?"
