People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 481 Thunder General: The Unthinking One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Sixth Slash
"Eying, what's wrong?"

"Paimon just thought we were going to die, but now she's not moving at all. Is she going to be kind and let us go?"

They had already left the basket and hidden to one side, secretly communicating in the void.
The white fluffy ball looked at the scene that everyone was completely baffled by.
He blinked, then suddenly looked at the purple-haired figure opposite him with a grateful gaze that seemed to say, "So you're a good god after all."

General Thunder: "."

Is it ready yet? If not, I'll just cut it down.

They tried to bring people into the Pure Land of One Heart, but something went wrong; they were constantly blocked by another force.
Standing still, it was barely acceptable to bear the gazes of the people who thought, "The general must have some deeper meaning behind doing this."

But the taunting from that white floating object on the other side was a bit too much to bear.

film:"."

I'll try one last two times, don't do it yet.

Unless absolutely necessary, I really don't want to start a big fight in a place like the castle tower.
Noticing that the general's rage bar seemed to be rising rapidly, she decided to make one last effort.

"Let us go? That doesn't seem like it."

"The barrier of lightning has not been removed, and for some reason, the other party's gaze is becoming increasingly dangerous."

Using that little trick, he successfully tossed the red Eye of God he had picked up to Thomas, who was standing to the side.

After Ying instructed him to take Paimon to the edge of the barrier, she gripped her weapon tightly, maintaining a state of readiness for direct combat at any moment.

—Although she didn't know exactly what had happened to the other person, she was feeling very unwell.

—Like the calm before a storm, listening to the exclamations of the surrounding crowd, "How could someone stand up to the general for so long?"

Looking at the increasingly hostile gaze across from her, she felt that the current calm might not be without its price.
"That's enough, there's no need to continue with this failed attempt."

"It's not surprising that such pure abyssal energy has the ability to resist it."

"If you're unwilling to make a move, then let me deliver the blow."

The decisive action helped the still hesitant Lei Movie make a decision, and General Lei, who was standing still to guide the team, decided not to wait any longer.

She sensed that powerful protective force originating from the spiritual realm, and she was certain that her "inner" plan had no chance of succeeding.

—For that overly emotional "inner self," the desire to avoid the losses of conflict is understandable.
But the enemy from the abyss must not be let go, for from any perspective, this would be the greatest danger to eternity.

stab-

boom! ! !
Thunder roared, and the clear sky suddenly darkened.

Purple lightning filled the sky, and the lightning bolts fell and were then bound, condensing into a uniquely shaped naginata in the hand of the purple-haired figure.

"."

I've had enough of the public's amazement at the scene and the mockery of the white floating object across the way.

The general, who had been "accumulating power" for a long time, did not hold back and planned to use his elemental power as soon as he made his move.

He waved his hand, diverting most of his power to reinforce the surrounding lightning barrier as much as possible.

She was certain that even without unleashing that unexpected strike, the traveler from a foreign land before her would have no chance of blocking her attack.

"boom--"

!!!

Lightning bolts, moving at such incredible speed that even their afterimages were imperceptible, struck from the front, leaving only a purple trail of lightning behind them.

Having been on guard for some time, they still couldn't quite see the sudden slash clearly.

The blonde girl had no time to dodge, so she activated the elemental amplification device to its fullest extent and followed her instincts to parry with the short sword in her hand.

"."

"Om-"

Silence fell, the world seemed to turn black and white, before a thunderous explosion suddenly erupted.

A fleeting moment, too brief for visual perception to register,
Amidst the incredulous gazes of the surrounding crowd, the blonde girl, though slightly disheveled, miraculously managed to block the attack.

"."

The attack did not stop, perhaps because no one had been able to withstand a casual blow for a long time and they were eager to strike again, or perhaps to minimize the damage to the surrounding area.

He neither used his world-destroying power nor removed the long sword residing within his body.

With his martial arts enhanced by pure lightning element, the general unleashed an attack of unparalleled speed.

"—Boom!"

The clash of weapons produced a series of explosive sounds as the air was torn apart, and the movements of the two combatants became impossible for ordinary people to see.

"."

The pace of the fight was too fast; line of sight was no longer a reliable defense. All that remained was the perception of elements and instinctive parrying techniques.
She never imagined that the canned knowledge she had absorbed would be so useful, so effective that she almost mistook it for something tailor-made for this kind of situation.
Although she was somewhat overwhelmed, she managed to barely defend against the attacks. A thought flashed through her mind, and she felt that despite her bad luck, she was also somewhat fortunate.

"—Waaaaah! They've really started fighting! What do we do?! The other side is clearly not even going all out!"

"—Let me think, let me think, something to deal with this kind of situation."

Having prepared for the worst before coming, Paimon was somewhat flustered but not too worried about Ying's safety.

Although the rice ball was placed on his body to protect himself
But at this moment, Ying not only possessed the bracelet that could consume elemental gems to resist attacks at the god level and also randomly teleport,

The divine crystal he always wore around his neck could also exert defensive or offensive capabilities at the level of a god.
In addition, the feather given by the Wind Dragon, the claw given by Andrius, and the fishing rod that Luminous had previously taken—if their power were released all at once…
".?"

I discovered that I actually have quite a few choices, with a whole host of things triggered both actively and passively.

Paimon blinked, staring at the blonde girl ahead who seemed to be in "peril," listening to the onlookers' comments about her "facing the might of thunder."
After exchanging a glance with Thomas, who was extremely nervous beside him, he suddenly felt less anxious.

"."

"Such martial arts skills are enough to qualify one to establish a school of martial arts; it is truly rare."

"If you weren't an enemy of the abyss, with your martial arts skills, you might be able to become my sidekick."

"But this is the end. You should be proud to have witnessed this thoughtless and effortless strike."

In front of the statue, on a platform that was already riddled with holes despite being protected by elemental power.

After a pure clash of swords, the two combatants temporarily separated.

Recalling this long-unseen combat experience, the general, whose face rarely showed emotion, spoke with a hint of seriousness.

"—With my previous skill level, this one strike was enough."

"Boom!!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, as if reflecting the will of the gods, pitch-black clouds completely obscured the sky above the castle tower.
The constantly shifting purple lightning bolts surged through the clouds like living things, gradually converging at one point.
The explosion was deafening, and the dim world was illuminated by the blazing light. The lightning, almost solidified, transformed into a line and surged into the hand of the purple-haired figure in front.

Amidst the continuous lightning that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth, the lightning general, whose pupils glowed, dispelled the naginata in his hand.

With his gaze fixed on the target, he placed his right hand horizontally in front of his chest and slowly drew a phantom longsword, resembling a work of art, from the purple vortex from bottom to top.

!!!

Every inch of my skin felt a stinging, alarming sensation.
Fully armed, Ying then realized that her opponent hadn't been serious at all, but had merely been testing the limits of her abilities during the exchange of blows to minimize casualties. "..."

There was no time to switch weapons; he could only do his best to gather the three elemental powers he could currently use.
He vaguely sensed that the aura emanating from the abyss had changed under such high pressure, and a trace of it had also separated and merged into his own power.
With no time to worry about these issues, the blonde girl put aside her distractions and prepared to face the strongest blow she had received since the start of her seven-nation journey.

"—No thought, no intention."

A detached voice resonated from the depths of everyone's hearts, a strike that exuded confidence in ending all adversaries.

Ultimate control over power leads to ultimate efficiency; this is the unique combat aesthetic of the God of Thunder.

A single, perfectly timed strike, neither too much nor too little, perfectly matching the opponent's current power level, could reduce both mortals and gods to ashes.

"."

Silence fell. Sounds were left far behind by the speed and power, and even the lightning in the sky was overshadowed.

Focusing intently on his opponent, he coated the longsword named "Dream of One Heart" with elemental power just exceeding the opponent's power limit.

Convinced that such a strike could completely reduce the enemy before him to ashes, the general, after unleashing his sword, couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for such a master swordsman who could fight him.

"."

"Clang-"

The emerald green dagger flew from his hand, its blade slicing into the ground with the force of the recoil.

Looking at the astonished expressions of the people around him, the general, who was used to being praised, shook his head. Even without turning around, he knew that such an outcome was only to be expected.

"To face the might of thunder with the body of a mortal, I never imagined I could withstand even such a strike."

General: ? ? ?
The content of the praise seemed a bit off, and the target of the praise was also somewhat strange.
The general, who had turned around with confidence, saw a blonde girl whose hair was surrounded by a triple elemental shield, with a faint hint of dark purple mixed in.

"."

After a brief silence, sensing the extremely pure abyssal aura, she paused for a moment after her first failure, then raised the lightning-infused longsword in her hand once more:

"—Eternal enemy, there is only one fate for you."

They overlooked this abyssal power that had never been used.
Although it was somewhat unexpected, the second strike was enough to finish off the enemy.

"."

"—Sizzle."

With a single strike,
The weapon, radiating an icy aura like a sharp claw, was knocked away again. The slash in the middle nearly severed it, and the overflowing cold air froze a large area of ​​the ground where it fell.

but.
"Wow, to actually connect two strikes, that's really something."

General: ? ? ?
Looking back,

Although the weapon was knocked away again, thanks to the power contained in that claw attack and a parrying technique far superior to the opponent's current level,
Despite looking somewhat disheveled, the opponent still managed to take the blow.

"The opportunity is good, but you've run out of weapons."

The third strike landed, maintaining its usual calm.

Having refused "Shadow's" request to come himself, the general was certain that his assessment of the opponent's strength was accurate; such power was more than enough to kill him.
???

"."

The public's expressions were even more shocked.
The blonde girl, whose two weapons had been knocked away, somehow produced a strangely shaped, feather-like golden weapon.

Although it still slipped from my grasp during the collision, the feather, from who knows where, was not damaged much.

"."

"."

"Phew, that's enough, that's enough."

He paused slightly, noticing that the blonde girl in front of him had taken out another seemingly ordinary green wooden stick, as if she intended to try again.

Hearing the exclamations of amazement from those around him who had "faced three strikes of lightning with mortal bodies,"

The general, who had reached his limit, took a deep breath and finally chose to abandon his long-held aesthetic of combat and stop pursuing anything "just right".

!!!

"Oh no, I can't handle this!"

Upon discovering that the other party seemed utterly enraged by the previous situation, unprecedentedly dazzling lightning condensed from the clouds into a complex web of lightning, converging at the tip of the light purple longsword.

Although it was known that the opponent would be unable to exert their full strength in such an environment, in terms of sheer power, this strike was enough to cleave the mountain in two.

Ying, her scalp tingling, glanced at the weapon in her hand, certain that she couldn't possibly withstand such an attack.

But after reaching the peak of tension, the blonde girl glanced at what she was wearing and actually relaxed:

"Paimon and Thomas, and the weapons that were knocked away."

If you can't accept the attack, then don't, but you can't just teleport away and escape alone.

Looking at the golden bracelet on her wrist, and based on the tests she had done with Andrius, she was certain that the treasure they had found could withstand a few more blows. Ying also temporarily canceled the bracelet's emergency teleportation function after being hit.
—Leaving aside Paimon and Thomas, even the gifts that were knocked away earlier were far more valuable than Mora and jewels; losing them would have been a huge loss.

The bracelet I'm wearing is great in every way, except that it won't trigger unless the attack power reaches a certain level. Otherwise, I could have just teleported away with Paimon and Thomas from the very beginning.
"boom--!"

The surging lightning transformed into a single line, as if to cleave the space along its path.

The golden bracelet, crafted by an unknown hand and made of an unknown material, was as heavy as the earth, and the barrier it supported never even shook.

"."

Thomas, who was the first to be included, blinked and glanced at his two friends beside him. He never expected to see such a scene in his life.

"Knife, claws, feathers, Thomas."

"—Nothing's been missed, Ying, that's enough, let's go! We'll go bankrupt if we keep going like this!"

Seeing them stubbornly collect items right under their noses while enduring the shield, and then forcefully taking two more blows,

Not only were the surrounding people completely stunned, but the Thunder General's gaze also grew increasingly hostile.
Paimon felt so heartbroken thinking about the huge pile of elemental gems that had evaporated from the Dust Song Pot that he almost suffocated.

"Boom——"

The clouds burst open, and lightning bolts, reaching the heavens and piercing the earth, seemed poised to strike.

Perhaps it's because such a strike would break through the barrier and affect the surrounding civilians.

For some reason, the general's movements faltered slightly. Before the strike landed, its power was forcibly reduced significantly, allowing it to hit the trio's barrier.

"."

A flash of golden light disappeared in an instant, teleporting the person to an unknown distance before the Thunder General, whose emotions were more abundant than ever before.

"."

After a brief silence, Ying, unable to continue meditating any longer, left the Pure Land of One Mind, feeling as if everything that had happened today was targeting her and the general.

Emerging from prolonged solitude, he thought of the unbelievably pure abyssal power he had just witnessed, and the large number of strange artifacts that clearly only the upper echelons of large organizations could possess.
Having personally taken over the general's body, and recalling the intelligence report that suggested he was the "leader of the Abyss Order," she shook her head, not wanting to leave such a serious hidden danger behind. Following the aura left by the teleportation, she decided to track him down.
