Chapter 227 Fury and Calm

The steel giant roared, unleashing hundreds of radiant arrows from its sacred and solemn wheel, which resembled the halo of a deity.

The multi-layered defense with its five colors created a powerful barrier, causing dozens of beams of light piercing through the void to refract as if they had struck a mirror.

This scene was like several beams of light passing through a prism, then splitting from one beam into dozens, like shotgun shells, expanding the attack range.

The blinding beams of light, like long spears, split into dozens of sparks and storms, tearing apart trees, rocks, and shattering the earth, causing damage to the terrain, but they could not harm Bai Jie, who was located at the center, in the slightest.

'Very good... The others are all far away, it's about time to make our move.'

Hyakusuke finally led the guy to a deserted, open area. At this distance, there were continuous forests and hills nearby, and the boundless sea was not far away. Even if a major battle broke out, there was no need to worry about any secondary disasters.

If he were to engage in a fierce battle with the Sword-Armored Guardian Child, it would drag everyone around into it. If he remained at the fishing village harbor, it would only cause extremely cruel destruction.

"So."

A violent storm swept across the area, and when the beams of light disappeared, the barrier that had isolated the atmosphere from the void at the center was also lifted.

"You should understand by now... this kind of move won't kill me."

Hyakusuke's eyes shifted to the other side, as if he had heard his deep voice. The next second, the Sword-Armored Guardian Child leaped up, closing the distance in pursuit. Boom!

The moment it landed, a large amount of dust gushed out like a geyser, but the sword-armored guardian child was able to land steadily, no, it could be said that he landed on the spot with ease.

Indeed, Hyakusuke's eyes twitched as well. The mountain, formed from countless iron blocks, crashed into the ground, yet landed in an extremely light manner.

"Good guy!"

He analyzed the situation using the three-dimensional perception of the "Enemy Search" technique. The steel giant was at least fifty meters tall, and its body was made of steel. If calculated this way, its weight would exceed a thousand tons.

'No...not necessarily. First of all, the Sword-Armored Guardian Child isn't some kind of super mecha. The metal structure might just be an outer shell; what's inside is unknown...'

No one knows where the Jujo clan got so much steel, but it must be incredibly heavy.

However, judging from the fact that its enormous steel feet did not sink into the ground, it is not hard to guess that the Sword Armor Guardian Child can use some kind of gravity spell to reduce its excessive mass.

Another reason for not choosing to lure the Sword Armor Guardian Child to the sea is that the steel giant, who can freely manipulate gravity magic, will not be thrown into chaos just because the battle is at sea.

'I don't have a way to move freely in the sea either, so if I were in that situation, I wouldn't have much of a chance of winning.'

As he pondered these thoughts, he stared intently at the steel giant—or rather, at someone standing there—the Ten-Haired Maiden, shrouded in demonic energy, who stood on the right shoulder of the Sword-Armored Guardian Child, seemingly consumed by madness.

The blonde girl lowered her head, her bangs casting shadows that obscured her facial expression.

But that astonishingly frenzied aura made her appear from a distance like a blooming, mad flame.

However, on the other hand, Jijou Maika's hands did not stop, but instead formed hand seals with extreme calmness.

At this moment, she was in a state that was both violent and calm.

boom!
The sword-armored guardian boy stepped forward and threw a punch.

"Arm yourselves!"

Baijie muttered to himself.

In an instant, a magic circle wreathed in black flames appeared beneath his feet.

The jet-black particles slowly rose, forming a shell-like substance that covered his body. He summoned his power once more, condensing the power of the monster, Mephisto, into a layer of armor covering his entire body, its shape almost identical to the armor eroded by the aura of the demons and gods.

"Because it was created based on the design of that armor," Mephisto's words echoed from the ring on his right hand.

'You know, I'm a demon, after all. I have no need to transform into armor to cooperate with humans.'

"I know you don't need to complain..."

Hyakusuke's voice turned cold.

His right hand thrust forward, and a jet-black spear burst forth.

That was a spear formed from the energy of demons and spirits, a move that Hyakusuke often used before.

As a renowned family of exorcists, the Ziyue clan has produced many masters of spear techniques, and its previous leaders were also experts in spear skills.

Of course, as someone who has mastered the "power of mirroring," Hyakusuke has learned the techniques of using various weapons in the past, but he is now more accustomed to guns and spears.

The aura of ghosts and gods is a special kind of power. This power did not disappear. Bai Jie condensed the remaining power into a ball and threw it out in the form of a spear.

Like a black meteor, it struck through the air and exploded on the steel giant's swinging fist.

boom!
The aura of the spirits and demons generated an explosive shockwave that actually shook the right fist of the sword-armored guardian boy, which was truly unbelievable.

In theory, the powerful "curse reversal barrier" on the Sword Armor Guardian Child's fist is capable of decomposing even matter in the present world, and would not be shaken by such an explosion.

"The aura of ghosts and gods can also be described as a potent 'poison,' which, to put it bluntly, is a power that leans towards incantations... Before, I had no idea how to use this power; it was like a naughty child holding an axe."

Besides its special effect on immortality, the aura of ghosts and gods can also affect some divine beings.

Hyakusuke's "understanding" of power has become more profound, and many secrets of the spirit energy are no longer secrets to him.

At the moment of the explosion, the ghostly energy burst open like countless fine needles, penetrating the interior of the curse-reversal barrier.

Although the Sword-Armored Guardian Child will not be hindered by a simple explosion, even if it is based on divinity and generates a high-density curse-reversal barrier, if it is tainted with some ghostly and divine energy, its divinity will be shaken.

"The true nature of the Sword-Armored Guardian Child is merely that of a summoned lesser god. The guardian god resides within this steel body, and any interference is enough to slow its movements down by a beat..."

Yes, just as he wished.

The powerful punch thrown by the sword-armored guardian boy stopped in mid-air.

In that instant, Hyakusuke slammed his right foot off the ground and shot out like a bolt of lightning.

He targeted the girl on the right side of the steel giant's shoulder, and in an instant, his figure moved as fast as a falcon, flying to the right shoulder of the sword-armored guardian child, his fist unleashing a terrifying storm.

Hyakusuke had no intention of holding back; if necessary, he would not hesitate to kill even ten Ji.

His speed was so fast that he was invisible to the naked eye, and at this close distance, even the Sword Armor Guardian Child couldn't come to his rescue in time.

The spiraling force wrapped around his right fist blasted towards Totsujou Maika's body.

This punch was also imbued with demonic power, ghostly energy, and his own spiritual energy. As long as it hit the target, even if the Ten-Tori Maihana was defending with all her spiritual power, half of her body would be destroyed.
