Chapter 160 The Second Player
The "monster" who only has half of the human appearance and does not resemble the young special-grade sorcerer named "Igarashi Yuuki" at all, who looks like a human but not a human, and a cursed spirit but not a cursed spirit, once again collides and clashes with the existence called "Heaven and Tyrant" - and fights each other.
Whether it was "Igarashi Yuuki" or Fushiguro Shige, they all tacitly gave up all kinds of fancy moves and temptations - at this time, any temptation was useless, and only the final, simplest, most direct, and straightforward fight remained!
The sun in the sky was blazing, and today the sun was shining brightly, illuminating two black figures at the foot of Yan Mountain. As the figures crossed, two different weapons in the hands of the two men, one long and one short, one white and one black, collided head-on. The cold light of the weapons flashed in the air with mottled light and shadows, so fast that even the shadows could not be captured.
It was clearly a collision similar to a simple clash without any complicated moves or attempts, but there was a deafening, teeth-grinding sound of metal clashing. The short sword and the long sword separated as soon as they touched each other, and the two figures each stepped back a few steps, leaving long, dented marks on the ground... Less than a second later, they raised their weapons and rushed towards each other again!
Licking, stabbing, intercepting, blocking, collapsing, chopping, wiping, pulling, wrapping... each and every move is the simplest and basic sword style. No matter whether it is Fushiguro Shinjiro or "Igarashi Yuki", they all abandoned all the skills of moves and only relied on the fastest and most instinctive reaction of the body to fight.
I don't know how much time has passed. Whether it is Fushiguro Shigeki or Igarashi Yuuki, the muscles of both of them are bulging, and sweat keeps dripping from their bodies, shining brightly under the bright and hot sunlight, which shows how hard the two of them are fighting, but no one has the extra attention to be distracted elsewhere.
It was as if time had completely frozen in this space, the cold, deep, and dull green eyes and the evil black eyes that were overflowing with greed and pure innocence stared at each other, without even blinking, and no one would be the first to look away.
A moment later, "Igarashi Yuuki" tilted her head first, opened her mouth, and unexpectedly bit the cursed spirit on Fushiguro Shigeru's body like lightning, and then directly tore it into two pieces!
The cursed spirit was torn into two pieces by "Igarashi Yuuki" easily, like a piece of paper. The strangely shaped weapons and chains hidden in it, as well as the long-haired girl in a black and white school uniform with her eyes closed, fell straight to the ground in an instant, making a "plop" sound.
"——Is this your purpose?"
Even Fushiguro Shigeki was extremely shocked - however, he never expected that in this battle, "Igarashi Yuuki" would still focus on the cursed spirit on him.
Is this action due to the greedy desire of the "greedy beast" or the inner conspiracy of "Igarashi Yuuki"?
——At this moment, is he a "greedy beast" or "Igarashi Yuuki"?
It is unknown whether the monster is "Igarashi Yuuki" or "Cursed Greedy Beast" and did not answer.
He tore the cursed spirit apart and threw it aside without any care, no longer caring about its life or death. He also did not even spare a glance for Amanouchi Riko who was lying on the ground. Instead, he grinned, making an arc as if he was "smiling". A faint green light seemed to rise in his strange black eyes, but it seemed like it was just an illusion.
The next moment, Fushiguro put aside all distracting thoughts, and took the lead in throwing the long sword in his hand and the sword in "Igarashi Yuki" into the sky. The two figures simultaneously threw away the blades in their hands and bit each other again.
Whether it's "The Greedy Beast" or "Igarashi Yuuki"...it doesn't matter!
——This time, it was an intertwining of fists, palms, arms, legs and feet, like a beast desperately biting each other on the grassland. Regardless of skills, only the most profound and instinctive battle remained.
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack!
Block, block, block, block, block, block!
Several "bang bang" sounds of muscles colliding rang out one after another within one second. Under the continuous actions of "Igarashi Yuuki", Fushiguro's defense was perfect, but he still couldn't help but take a step back as if he had encountered a huge force rebound, gritting his teeth and holding on.
In stark contrast to the previous result where Fushiguro Nori was the winner, this time, the one with the advantage is clearly "Igarashi Yuuki".
The fusion with "The Greedy Beast" has made him far superior to the previous "Igarashi Yuuki" in terms of cursed power, physical strength, reaction speed, and five senses.
Originally, his physical strength was comparable to that of Fushiguro Shijiro, and even if there was a difference, it was not much. As for combat awareness and reaction speed... even if it was a human who exceeded the limits of human beings, how could they compare with a "beast" that exceeded the limits of human beings? That was a "hunting" skill that existed at a deeper level and originated from the soul.
I don't know how much time has passed. Both Fushiguro and Igarashi Yuuki are so absorbed in the fight that their perception of the outside world has become extremely slow. They can no longer distract themselves to distinguish the passage of time - has it only been a few dozen seconds, or three to five minutes, or even half an hour? A muffled groan sounded, and a black figure crashed into a tree half the width of a person from the air. The tree snapped instantly, and then it broke three trees in a row before finally stopping.
Fushiguro Shijiro half-knelt on the ground, drops of sticky blood dripped from his body to the ground, forming a small depression.
He was panting, staring at the figure of "Igarashi Yuuki" - that figure with an extremely strong figure, naked upper body and face covered with blue-black stripes that seemed to have unknown meanings. At this time, he was half-kneeling beside Tenuchi Riko's body with his head lowered, one "hand" touching her body, motionless, and his aura was blank, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking - or what he thought of.
...unwilling to accept.
I'm unwilling to lose here.
Don't stop here if you are not willing to.
If he ran away... he certainly still had the energy to do so, but Fushiguro Shinobu couldn't bear to run away like this.
Is his luck really that bad? So bad that every time he thinks he has everything, he falls and loses everything again?
This was the first time, or rather the second time, that he truly, completely and utterly lost.
Lost to "Igarashi Yuuki", or rather, it's unclear whether "Igarashi Yuuki" is still a human or a cursed spirit.
This guy brought him too many surprises today.
Heaven and Curse Binding, Special Curse Spirit... After fusing with the Curse Spirit, his combat ability could even exceed the limits of both. And after he thought that He had completely lost all his sanity, He unexpectedly regained a bit of sanity from nowhere... He could even use this to plot against him again and again in battle, using the spell called "Three Elements Simulation" beyond his expectations...
This time, it is probably called "all is fair in war" or "sneak peek into Chencang"?
——Although he was still very, extremely unwilling, Fushiguro Shiro still had to admit——This was the first time he had seen an example of fusion with a special-grade cursed spirit. Just because Igarashi Yuuki was able to maintain his sanity and then hide until the critical moment to strike a fatal blow, he really didn't blame himself for losing this time.
The smell of rust filled his senses, and Fushiguro clenched his fists tightly, with sticky emotions surging in his eyes, and the aura around him was extremely unstable.
"Igarashi Yuuki" ignored Fushiguro Shiori.
"Yuuki Igarashi" is indeed special.
The physique of "Tianyu Juju" who does not have any curse power happened to meet the special special curse spirit "Greedy" whose characteristic is to merge into one with any human being, and the two "accidentally" merged into one.
This should have been a situation of great misfortune and despair, but "fusion" is different from the "rebirth" of a cursed spirit in a human's body. The consciousness of a special cursed spirit devours the consciousness of the human - "fusion" means that the consciousness of the greedy beast and the consciousness of the human "Igarashi Yuuki" will be intertwined together, you are me and I am you, you are in me and I am in you, and there is no distinction between the two - this is the unique feature that belongs only to the "greedy beast".
Maybe it's a lucky one in a million.
What's even more fortunate is that the consciousness of the special cursed spirit "Greedy Beast" is half as simple and pure as that of a baby, and "Igarashi Yuuki" is not an ordinary human being, but a "Heaven and Curse" without any curse power.
The fusion of the two was a one in ten thousand collision, and the result was this one in a hundred million lucky situation - the "greedy beast" merged into the body of "Igarashi Yuuki", but its consciousness not only did not merge with Igarashi Yuuki, but was firmly suppressed by Igarashi Yuuki's consciousness in the deepest part of the body and consciousness - this was also the reason why Igarashi Yuuki did not notice any changes in his body at first.
Even now, the consciousness belonging to "Greedy Beast" and "Igarashi Yuuki" finally collided with each other and underwent a "complete fusion", and "Igarashi Yuuki" still regained a trace of his own sanity.
Another chance to "escape from despair".
Who can say...after this, he will never be able to separate himself from the consciousness of being a greedy person again?
He barely managed to spare a shred of consciousness, stretched out his hand and touched her.
In the case of Tenuchi Riko, she was shot in the head by Fushiguro Shinji. The bullet went straight through her brain from right to left, leaving marks above her eyebrows. The young and beautiful girl, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, still had a residual smile and confusion on her face.
I also have to thank Fushiguro Shijiro... When fighting with him, the "greedy bastard" fought so hard that he barely squeezed out the last bit of clarity of mind that completely belonged to "Igarashi Yuuki" and remembered to use the "Three Elements Mimicry" to sneak attack Fushiguro Shijiro, which was how he was able to end the battle so quickly.
——As a human being, "Igarashi Yuuki", who was only half-fused with the "Greedy Beast", was still limited to using the "Three Element Simulation Technique" three times within 24 hours. However, after completely merging with the Greedy Beast, "Igarashi Yuuki", who is like a human but not a human, like a cursed spirit but not a cursed spirit, no longer has such a restriction when using the "Three Element Simulation Technique".
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he once again used the "Three Element Simulation Technique" and used the "Reversal Technique" that only belonged to Ieiri Shoko on Tenuchi Riko.
