Tamashi didn't always win every battle, and he had almost died just as many times as Yash.
Although he is indeed the pinnacle of mortals, and can even resist the direct influence of magic spirits, he is still just a mortal after all. Moreover, the various extraordinary methods of magicians are unpredictable and unpredictable. Before controlling the Holy Land, the battles between magicians are mysterious and unpredictable. Maybe an unexpected magic spirit can change the situation of the battle, not to mention the battle between magicians and mortals?
Tamashi also serves as the most dangerous Judgement Warrior, and every time he has to fight the most vicious magicians. What's more terrifying is that most of the sorcerers in the wasteland are actually evil forces that perform tasks on behalf of the sects, such as the "Relic Hunters" of the Fire Temple, the "Fuse" of the War Temple, and the "Three Hands" of the Rotating Light Sect... This means that when the Crow Killer hunts down the sorcerers, not only is it possible to be retaliated by other sects, but the sorcerers may even receive support from the sects during the hunt.
Tamashi encountered this once. He and Tanomu were chasing a group of horse bandits disguised as a caravan. According to intelligence, the other side only had a few ordinary one-winged magicians. But just when Black Crow was killing, he was hit by Gray Fox's firearm at close range.
Gray Fox firearms were extremely rare in the wasteland, and Black Crow had at most done some training on how to deal with homemade firearms. Faced with the Gray Fox firearm, whose firing rate and kinetic energy far exceeded those of homemade firearms, he only had time to dodge vital parts, but his tailbone was pierced, and he fell to the ground, with his lower body completely unable to move.
He was in the enemy's base camp, paralyzed.
The gunner didn't shoot him immediately, but shot him through the arm with two more shots, and then his bandits captured Tanomu who was nearby to provide support. Tanomu saw Black Crow lying on the ground and kept crying, begging to let them go, begging to spare Black Crow's life, saying that she was willing to do anything... But the gunner just grinned and carried her on his shoulders back to the house, leaving Black Crow in the mud.
Black Crow had just killed his brother, how could the bandits bear to let him die so easily? Beat him to a paralysis, and while the gunsmith was enjoying himself in the house, the other bandits could also torture Black Crow slowly to vent their anger.
Mercury Trojan's memory of that time was already very vague. She threatened the Crow Killing Sect, saying that she had a prophecy spirit to bribe, and begged to let Tamashi go, but she could not suppress the fear in her heart and burst into tears. Then she was slapped hard by the Gunnery Master, her face was swollen, and she was completely stunned. Her body lost all strength to resist, and she allowed herself to be put on the table by the Gunnery Master.
She could only vaguely remember the gunner tearing her clothes while cursing:
"That black crow is dead!"
"They will torture him until he cries and wants to die!"
"He will die in a very ugly way!"
Just as the gunslinger tore her shorts, there was the sound of horse hooves outside. The gunslinger cursed at who was riding a horse in the yard, and then with a bang, the gate was knocked open by a tall gray-brown horse.
The only thing that Mercury Trojan remembered most clearly was this scene. It was more unforgettable than when she heard the voices of the Four Pillars, and more unforgettable than when she saw Black Crow stabbing her later. It was as if Tamashi on horseback had not only crashed into the house, but also crashed into her heart.
Tamashi was seen riding a horse, and he had tied himself to the horse with four spears and hemp ropes to prevent himself from falling off. His body was covered with wounds of flesh and blood, and blood soaked through his outer robe and dripped down his trouser legs. His crow mask was broken in a small part, revealing bright green eyes.
Mercury Trojan didn't know how he killed all the bandits with his lower body paralyzed, nor how he tied himself to the horse. She only remembered that Tamashi rode over on horseback and stabbed the gunman in the head with a spear before he could draw out the Gray Fox gun!
"I won't die!"
The voice of the black crow echoed in the ears of the mercury horse over and over again:
"I won't die!"
…
…
The fifteenth level of the Spiral of Silence.
Black Crow stretched out his hand to press the Mercury Horse to the ground, raised the Gray Fox blade high, aimed at the Mercury Horse's head, and stabbed it brazenly -
"I will not die."
Mercury Trojan took out a pocket silver pistol and blocked his face with it.
She calmly stared at the crow mask that was once her dream but was now only her nightmare: "Unless you are willing to let Igula be buried with me."
Black Crow stopped.
"Don't listen to her sweet talk!" Igula coughed up some dirty blood and shouted, "The only way to deal with the Mercury Trojan Horse is to kill her directly instead of negotiating with her! Ahem!"
"Don't talk so loudly!" Gwen scolded Igula for the first time. She was so anxious that she almost cried. She hurriedly used water therapy to heal the trickster's injuries.
"Tamahi, you know me well," said Mercury Trojan slowly, "I will not prolong my life with such a clumsy lie. Next, I will take out the bullets inside, watch carefully."
Mercury Trojan took out the magazine of the miniature silver pistol, pushed it with his backhand, and poured out the bullets in the magazine.
"Try piercing a bullet and see," she said.
Black Crow looked at her calmly and swung the Gray Fox blade to cut a bullet.
There was a thin groove inside the silver bullet, and some liquid like flowing mercury was shaking out of the groove.
"That is the mercury powder ground from my bone marrow." The mercury Trojan said, "After I became a sense of touch, my bone marrow turned into this mercury. The individuals that I infuse with mercury will become Trojans that I can parasitize."
"Gwen took my bone marrow before, so I can descend upon her. But your adventure in the Dead City removed the mercury from her body, so I can't control her."
"This type of mercury bullet, the moment it hits the enemy, the mercury inside will be injected into the enemy's body along with the kinetic energy."
The Mercury Horse waved the magazine and said, "There are 17 Mercury bullets in the magazine, but there are only 16 bullets here. Where do you think the bullet I used is now?"
Black Crow tightly grasped the shoulder blade of the Mercury Trojan Horse with his left hand, and swung the Gray Fox's sharp blade with his right hand, destroying all the remaining mercury bullets.
Gwen and Igula naturally heard the words of the Mercury Trojan Horse. Gwen searched inside Igula's body and replied in a trembling voice, almost crying: "Mr. Tamashi! There is a mercury bullet in Mr. Igula's body!"
"It seems that my shooting is quite accurate." Mercury Trojan said with a smile.
“Don’t be afraid of her, Black Crow.” Igula gasped in pain and almost fell to the ground, but he still said: “Her soul... can’t be transferred too far. As long as I return to the upper level, she won’t be able to... descend upon me..."
"You can bet." Mercury Trojan tightly grasped Black Crow's Gray Fox blade and pointed it at his throat: "My soul really cannot escape the Spiral of Silence. But is my tactile range limited to this layer, or does it include the entire Spiral of Silence? You can bet."
"Of course, as long as you bring Igula to the ground, I will definitely not be able to reincarnate into his body. But in his current condition, can he really pass through the fifteenth spiral trial?"
"Besides, after you enter the Spiral of Silence, do you think my subordinates will enter the Spiral of Silence to look for me?" Mercury Trojan's hand was cut by Gray Fox's sharp blade and bled, but she seemed unaware and looked at Black Crow with a cruel and ferocious smile, as if Black Crow was the one whose throat was pressed against her: "Is Igula really the only vessel I can reincarnate into? Of course, whether it is or not, I will first reincarnate Lord Igula, and then pretend that nothing happened."
"When I have Igula's appearance, Igula's memories, and Igula's magic spirit, what's the difference between me and Igula?" Mercury Wooden Horse pushed the Gray Fox blade down, and the tip of the blade pierced her skin. She showed a cute and terrifying smile: "Tamashi, we can start over."
After the miraculous destruction, the hall was already full of sewage, and a dark sewage mixed with wine, blood, and water flowed across the ground. The mercury horse lay in the sewage, and next to her head, the sewage reflected a hideous crow mask.
"This time, I will be more cautious, develop the Four Pillars Divine Religion more carefully, and hold power more secretly. I won't let you find out, and I won't make things difficult for you. You just need to be like you were in the past..."
Mercury Trojan stretched out his right hand and stroked the dirty mask covered with countless layers of blood, but his fingertips were gentle as if stroking a work of art: "... continue to take good care of the weak me."
Snap!
Black Crow thrust hard, nailing Mercury Horse's right hand to the ground. Mercury Horse whimpered, tears welling up from the corners of his eyes, and his tone was like complaining or acting like a spoiled child: "It hurts..."
"Tamahi, you know I'm most afraid of pain. I never made it through the tough training of Crow Killer..." She said pitifully, "If you hurt me too much, I'll run away to Igula and hide for a while, and come back when you calm down..."
She said this like a naughty child who was afraid of getting angry with adults because he had gotten into trouble, so he ran away to hide with the older sister next door. However, Black Crow felt a chill rushing from his tailbone to his brain. He could hardly suppress his anger and roared, "Can't you just die obediently!?"
"You protect yourself in your own way, and I protect myself in my own way." Mercury Trojan smiled and said, "I will not die."
She paused and repeated:
"I will not die."
"However, you can also let me go. As long as I leave the Spiral of Silence and you are still in the trial, I will not be able to reincarnate as Lord Igula." She smiled and said, "How about this proposal?"
