() I went to watch Pacific Rim yesterday and played it all day long. I thought I wouldn’t be able to catch up with the update today... I was planning to take a leave of absence, but it took me half a day to write almost 3k, so I updated... (ˉ﹃

------------------------------------------

Just when the saints were falling in love and killing their shadows in the Taurus Palace, Lidovia Lorenzetti, who had been rescued by Simon before, came with her good friend Oriana Thomson and some members of the Russian Orthodox Church.

We arrived at the [Celestial Core] location marked on the map by Taiping.

This is a very huge square. A huge magic circle is painted with black paint on the ground of the square. In the center of the magic circle is a crystal coffin, and Sasha Kroijef is lying quietly in it.

.

"Sasha!"

While others were still studying the purpose of the magic circle on the ground, Vasilisa, the captain of the Russian Special Forces of the Adult Religion [Annihilation White Book] and Sasha's direct boss, had already rushed to the crystal coffin and looked at it nervously.

Looking at his lovely subordinates.

"Really, I actually rushed over like this. What if there is a trap..."

Lidovia was startled by her. After seeing that she was safe, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help complaining.

"Everyone, follow us and be careful."

Everyone slowly moved towards the crystal coffin, and after a while, they all gathered around it.

"It seems like it can't be opened... How about trying a brute force attack?" As soon as one of the magicians finished speaking, he felt a piercing gaze. He turned his head, and Vasilisa was staring at him fiercely, "

...Uh...that's all I'm saying..."

Everyone was discussing how to open the coffin, when suddenly they felt the ground beneath their feet shake.

The magicians were all on guard, staring closely at the ground beneath their feet.

The next moment, countless plants of various shapes burst out of the ground and instantly filled the entire square, surrounding Lidovia and others.

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at the strange plants with open facial features and twisting around, Oriana's mouth twitched.

"No matter what they are, just burn them!"

A fire mage threw a fireball forward without hesitation.

The target of the fireball was a plant that looked like a Venus flytrap. Although it was a bit bigger, when the fireball was about to hit it, it suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the fireball. After two seconds

, opened his mouth again and blew out a perfect smoke ring.

"Hahahahaha..."

A burst of clear laughter came from above the crowd,

"My plants are not necessarily afraid of fire~"

Looking around, a young man with shoulder-length red hair stood on a big tree not far away, looking down at them.

"Introduce yourself," the young man bowed gracefully, "[Nine-tailed Demon Fox] Minamino Shuichi, Cancer." (Note 1)

"I personally don't have much fighting ability..." Minami Shuichi smiled shyly, and then pointed downward, "So as long as you get rid of these plants, even if I lose, the coffin will be opened. Then...

Everyone, please work hard~"

After saying that, he lay back and fell from the tree. Countless vines shot up into the sky, caught him firmly, and quickly wrapped themselves into a large green cocoon, disappearing into this strange jungle formation.

middle.

At the same time, the plants that were just performing yangko on the spot became frantic. Rattans, spikes, acid... the plants used various means to hit the magicians in the center of the square.

…

Taurus Palace.

After a hard fight, the saints finally hit their shadows. Although the shadows could not erupt with stigmata, there were no fatal wounds on their bodies. No matter where they were struck, they would remain the same. They could only be worn away bit by bit.

, but fortunately, Kezi learned from the past, the saints were not touched by the shadow's immortal body, so even if they were injured, they were minor injuries, and the most important thing was mental fatigue.

"But you didn't take the opportunity to make a sneak attack. Is it because of your bad taste? Or is it because you no longer have the strength to fight?"

Li Qing asked.

"Almost... after using this 'Shadow Imitation Technique', I really don't have much strength anymore..." Vader shrugged nonchalantly, "But... this 'Shadow Imitation Technique' is not just for imitation.

Yours...it also allows you to 'imitate' your own shadow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the saints suddenly had large and small wounds on their bodies... That was the damage they had caused to their shadows before.

"Well... it's a pity... the damage returned is only one-tenth... otherwise... I would have wiped out all of you..."

Vader's voice began to become ethereal, and traces of black air began to seep out from under his robe.

"As a reward for completing the level... I will tell you some information... Most of the Twelve Strongmen... are out on business... So... in this tower... except for the top level... there are actually only five floors to fight... So...

…Come on…saints…”

The black smoke dissipated, leaving only the black robe falling to the ground.

"Damn... So, at least half of their top combat power is outside?"

Kanzaki Kaori smashed the ground in annoyance and then stood up.

"But this is also an opportunity. We must rush to the top of the tower before the other yellow scarf warriors come back!"

So after hastily treating the injury, the saints rushed to the Gemini (River Crab) Palace.

Kenjiro was already waiting there.

"Tsk... What the hell is Vader doing... There are so many people left. What I'm not good at is group fighting..."

Looking at Kanzaki and his party, which had less than ten people in front of him, Kenjiro groaned in dissatisfaction.

Then he was beaten by a group of angry saints...

"Is this guy really human?!"

After beating Kenjiro, the saints looked at the broken weapons in their hands and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Damn it! You guys! You have the ability to fight one on one!"

Kenjiro, who finally escaped from the siege, yelled angrily, and the wounds caused by the saints healed instantly.

"Are the members of the Yellow Turban... all monsters..."

Kanzaki Kaori looked at the cracked Seven Heavenly Seven Swords in his hand and murmured.

"This guy is not very strong...if we don't hurry, we will kill him sooner or later..."

"In this case...I have a way!"

Ames Samuel, who had cheated his teammates before, suddenly said:

"Wait a minute and don't get in front of me!"

After saying that, he rushed towards Kenjiro.

Several other saints quickly followed.

"krii_lun..." Samus took a deep breath, "...aus!!" (Note 2)

"Thunder breaks out!"

"Wei Shan!"

"Holy Light Sanctions!"

Attacks from other saints arrived one after another and hit Kenjiro hard.

"Huh?"

The moment it hit Kenjiro, the saints all felt something different.

If his previous attacks had "no effect", then this time's attacks would have "average effects".

"Hehehe... it really works..." Samus smiled ferociously at Kenjiro, "krii_lun_aus!!"

"krii_lun_aus!!"

"krii_lun_aus!!"

"krii_lun_aus!!"

"krii...lun_aus!!"

After five times in a row, Samuel's voice had become very hoarse. Because of the forced activation of the stigmata, his previous wounds burst open again, and traces of blood oozed from his facial features. He ignored the traces of blood on his face.

I wiped it on and opened my mouth again...

"krii_lun_aus!!"

Seeing the dragon's roar mixed with his own blood foam hitting Kenjiro again, Samus, completely exhausted, closed his eyes with satisfaction and fell to the ground softly.

Li Qing used the Raptor Tail Swing, and the effect was outstanding!
