Chapter 243: Neon Country: Evil God
This is the first time in history that humans have fought against an S-class monster. Even though this monster has been reduced to almost C-class by the insect traps and sand monsters, it was once an S-class monster after all.
The number of viewers in the strange live broadcast increased sharply, and everyone wanted to watch this historic battle.
Then, everyone discovered that the fighting process was indeed a bit unorthodox.
【Three to one, isn't this number a little too few? Previously, the American Seko Cult sent clergy to fight against the weird, but they sent out a small team of ten people. 】
[First of all, the enemy level is different. It is a B-level monster. Only the United States and China have been able to solve B-level monsters by humans alone without the help of lights.]
[I know, especially the battle in China. At that time, China's paranormal response department sent out five people, two awakened ones and three cultivators.]
【A cultivator?】
[People who practice secret techniques, if they are good at them, they are no weaker than those who have awakened.]
[But if we compare the growth limit, the Awakened are the best. Because the Awakened can also learn secrets, which gives them one more path than the Cultivators.]
[Wow——What are they doing? Are these three friends? Even if they are not friends, they should be teammates, right? Why is he hiding behind his teammates and letting them stand in front of him? ]
The Dead Leaf Butterfly quickly flashed behind the Birdwing Butterfly, and when the Birdwing Butterfly tried to avoid him, the Dead Leaf Butterfly pressed his shoulder. Then the clothes on the Birdwing Butterfly turned into heavy metal, and the step he took fell back to where it was because of the sudden increase in weight.
The bird-winged butterfly was a beat slower and was pierced in the abdomen by the extended claws of the strange. Fortunately, the clothes turned into metal, blocking part of the damage, and the abdomen was only slightly injured instead of being pierced completely.
"I'm sorry." There was not much apology in the dead leaf butterfly's tone. He put his hand on his chest and said, "Butterfly Life will protect your soul. Sleep well."
"I'm not dead yet—"
After the enemy's claws left, Birdwing Butterfly was instantly resurrected with full blood, its wounds healed, and its skin returned to normal. Only the tear in its clothes on its abdomen showed what had happened before.
"Well, don't fight. You have to take the enemy seriously." The gray butterfly emerged from the soil and said carefully, "Come on~"
Then, seeing that Qieyi had noticed him, he quickly hid behind the two of them, waved the wind chime in his hand, directed the hatred towards the Birdwing Butterfly and the Dead Leaf Butterfly, and then immediately burrowed into the ground to escape from the battle.
Focus on an extreme tactic.
Forget about cooperating among the three of them, it would be disrespectful to each other if they held their teammates back.
[I am really impressed. When faced with weirdness, can't they take it seriously? ]
[I think they are very serious. Look at the baby-faced guy, he is really serious about it. The ordinary guy is really serious about long-range output, even though he is using his companion as a shield. The last guy is also very serious...he is charging.]
Bird-winged Phoenix Butterfly was indeed charging very seriously, holding a strange knife in its hand. Relying on its ability to not die immediately from non-fatal injuries, it adopted a desperate fighting method, exchanging injuries for injuries. As long as it could inflict one more scar on the strange monster's body, it would laugh happily.
Like a deranged lunatic.
He didn't care even though the Leaf Butterfly used him as a shield several times. He just didn't like the Leaf Butterfly's prayers for him to sleep well every time it asked him to block its bullets.
He can live a long time!
Shamon stood on a high place, overlooking the battlefield.
"The one charging in front gets six points. The one behind dodging and throwing things to attack gets nine points. The one at the end splashing the water gets three points," Shamon judged.
The butterflies that landed on his shoulders made a cocooning sound: "What about full marks?"
"It's based on a 100-point system." Shamon said with a smile, "So, none of them passed."
"Hey - I heard it!" Birdwing Phoenix Butterfly raised his head and shouted, "Don't slander me in front of Butterfly Life!!"
"You've awakened such a convenient ability, but your fighting skills are so rubbish." Shamon raised his lips and said sarcastically, "You can't recover from your injuries without any cost, but you act like a wild boar without any rules, and you've suffered a lot of injuries that you shouldn't have suffered, wasting your talent in vain. These six points are because you're very brave, otherwise it would be zero."
Niaoyi Fengdie's face turned pale with anger, but she was unable to refute it.
Just then Guaiyi rushed in front of him and knocked him away with one blow. The bird-winged butterfly hit the gate on the side of the road, broke the glass door and rolled in. His face and arms were covered with cuts from broken glass. When he walked out of the store, the minor wounds on his body had disappeared.
"An awakened person should find a fighting method that suits him/her according to his/her awakened ability and tap the potential of his/her ability to the limit." Shamon glanced at the three people present, "However, none of you three have done it. You change the properties of matter and only use it to throw heavy objects? You can freely walk around in the land, but only use it to escape? I say, you are too ridiculous."
The Leaf Butterfly, who had been ignoring Shamon, raised his head.
"If I were a cocoon, I would cry to death because of stupid believers like you." Shamon laughed.
Far away on another street, they were investigating possible strange traces: ...
He heard it.
He didn't cry.
Even if these believers are stupider than pigs, he won't cry.
"Shamon, stop talking nonsense." The little butterfly heard the sound of insects cocooning, "If you don't want to watch quietly, come and help."
Shamon waved his hands, indicating that he would not say anything more.
Dead Leaf Butterfly: "How can I make the most of my abilities?"
Shamon sat down, crossed his legs, and said nonchalantly, "Think for yourself."
The dead leaf butterfly tilted its head, and just then a gray butterfly swam out from the soil to his feet, poking its head out, looking thoughtful.
The dead leaf butterfly lowered its head to take a look, then reached out to grab the gray butterfly, and pulled the baby-faced gray butterfly out of the soil with one hand.
The baby-faced man looked at the dead leaf butterfly blankly, and the next second his heavy sweater coat underwent a strange change, with soft wool threads beginning to wriggle from the collar downwards, and each thread seemed to have its own thoughts. They separated from each other, and like snakes sticking their heads out, they twisted and floated in strange directions, but it only lasted for less than three seconds before drooping limply.
The forehead of the dead leaf butterfly next to him was covered with cold sweat. This was what he had just thought of. Usually he was thinking about the properties of transforming matter into another substance, but just now, he was thinking about whether it was possible to make dead things have the properties of living things.
Transform the threads of clothing into snakes with autonomous attack capabilities.
The effect can be said to be successful, but it was more laborious. If he had not intentionally trained his abilities and made them much stronger, he would probably not even be able to drive it now.
"Hmm... I didn't expect this." Shamon's eyes narrowed. "Very interesting."
Gray Butterfly was in trouble. His clothes were used as a test subject by Leaf Butterfly. Butterfly was halfway through the experiment when his heavy sweater started to turn into a messy ball of yarn from the top. The qualitative change stopped at the shoulders, and Baby Face's original sweater jacket became a shoulder-exposed style.
If he wasn't wearing a white shirt underneath, the poor boy would have been frozen to tears by the cold wind.
"Can this be restored?" Gray Butterfly asked pitifully, shrinking her neck.
The dead leaf butterfly glanced at the tangled thread and turned its head away.
It is possible, but it is very laborious, which is equivalent to using magic to manipulate the strings to re-weave them by oneself, so the Dead Leaf Butterfly pretended not to hear what the Gray Butterfly said.
Gray Butterfly: ...
As expected, the three crazy people in Baidie Club are difficult to get along with.
He should have left a long time ago.
In front of me, Birdwing Butterfly was already wielding a knife to fight against the strange creature. I took a moment to look behind, and my eyes widened: "What are you doing while I'm fighting like hell! Why are you taking off your clothes?
The dead leaf butterfly immediately rushed forward to fight: "It has nothing to do with me, he took it off by himself."
Gray Butterfly: "I didn't--"
"Shamon, it seems that there are no other clones. Has the problem there not been resolved yet?" Little Butterfly asked.
Shamon glanced down and deliberately stretched out his voice and said, "It's not solved yet. Your followers are too weak to solve even such a small weirdness. How about disbanding your Hundred Butterflies? I will build a strong team for you in Ni Country."
Before the little butterfly said anything, the bird-winged butterfly below was annoyed: "Who is weak? The Hundred Butterflies Association is already the strongest organization in the country of Neon! The Onmyoji established by the government is the weak one——"
[Are the Onmyojis of Neon Country weak? ]
【have no idea.】
[I am from Japan. I know that Japan was not weak at the beginning. Japan's Yin Yang Liao sent people to China to learn secrets. But later on, it was no longer able to do so.]
[The work is terrible, the salary is low, the treatment is not good, and there are idiots giving orders from above. Who can continue to work? ]
[The Onmyojis of Onmyoji Lodge, those with strong abilities have all left, and those who remain are half-baked, which is why they have become weak.]
[The level of those left behind is not good enough. They deal with the weird hooligans below level D. They start to split water when facing slightly stronger enemies, or shirk responsibility. Once they find that the target is difficult to deal with, even if it is not dangerous, as long as it is troublesome, they will not do it. ]
[The Yin Yang Temple in Neon Country is just a decoration anyway. The Hundred Butterflies Club is enough.]
[Besides the Hundred Butterflies Society, there are other small organizations, but none of them are as strong as the Hundred Butterflies Society.]
【But in the eyes of the lights, it's all garbage. 】
【…Indeed.】
Perhaps it was too much of a shock, the birdwing butterfly rushed more and more fiercely, initially protecting its neck and heart, but gradually it no longer cared about these and just wanted to kill the strange creature desperately. The dead leaf butterfly behind it also became serious and stopped using the birdwing butterfly to block its attack, and the two gradually became in sync.
Only Huidie was still hiding at the back, squatting on the ground and shivering, holding onto her shirt which was constantly slipping down.
The half-body monster gradually couldn't bear it anymore. As early as when Shamon appeared, it knew that it could not escape this disaster and it should prepare a backup plan. However, it thought of its original body that was blown up one after another. Knowing that the opponent was staring at it, the monster grabbed Bird-wing Butterfly, and when he stabbed a knife into its chest, it rolled over with Bird-wing Butterfly and crashed into the shop next door.
It was an Okonomiyaki shop. After Shamon dragged Birdwing Butterfly in, he could not see what was going on inside. He frowned slightly and was about to come down when he heard a loud bang and the shop exploded.
The dead leaf butterfly and the gray butterfly stared blankly at the burning shop. After a while, the dead leaf butterfly clasped his hands together and said, "Rest in peace."
"Rest in peace!" Birdwing Butterfly brushed back her burnt hair and crawled out of the room covered in dust, holding the half-dead Weird in her hands. "I'm fine."
Shamon walked up to the monster and leaned over to stare at it.
It seems that there is no missing part.
To be on the safe side, Shamon pointed his finger towards the burning shop. A white flame burned at his fingertips and flew into the flames. In an instant, the burning flames turned pure white. The hot flames burned the car next to it, and the metal shell of the car showed signs of liquefying.
While burning down the shop, he also started a strange fire.
The fire ability from Ariel is very useful.
Seeing such a high temperature flame, the Birdwing Butterfly and the Dead Leaf Butterfly were shocked and wanted to escape, but they soon found that the scorching temperature did not reach here, as if there was a heat insulation barrier between them and the flame, and they could not feel anything.
I hope it can be burned cleanly, Shamon thought to himself.
No one knew that underneath the burning shop, something as long as a finger and as thick as a chopstick was wriggling in the ground. It endured the scorching heat from above and kept crawling deeper and deeper, wriggling like an earthworm.
To escape...
It's very dangerous here.
With only this little bit of body left, the ghost suddenly returned to the time when it was first born. It had no complete thoughts, and only the remaining fear urged it to escape from here.
Not until the temperature dropped and it felt like it had arrived at a safe place did it slowly crawl out of the ground and pop out its little head.
Safety?
The girl in a high school uniform walked up to the worm-like creature and squatted down. "...What is this? Weird?"
Weird shook his head slightly, and his simple thinking made him less able to judge. Before he could think about whether he should leave or stay, the girl's fingertips touched Weird's fleshy body.
The purple poison invaded the body, and the earthworm twisted its body in a weird and remnant state. After struggling for a while, it died.
"Tsk." Beaded Butterfly stood up and opened her phone irritably to take a look. "Looking at the images in the weird live broadcast, it should be around here. Did I go the wrong way? I finally made it to Misawa City and was thinking about showing off my skills in front of Butterfly Life. Obviously, my ability is the best means of attack. Birdwing Butterfly and Dead Leaf Butterfly are both idiots!"
The girl looked at the weird live broadcast room, the Birdwing Butterfly, the Dead Leaf Butterfly and the crying Gray Butterfly, and her knuckles turned white from holding the phone so hard.
"If I were here..." Beaded Butterfly lowered her head in despair, "I shouldn't have chosen Pingchuan City."
As a result, facing the battle against the evil god, she did nothing.
