A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

Then time flew by and it was already late at night.

A group of small monsters and Zengwu, who was willing to obey Kotoko Iwanaga's orders, were escorting the emerald green stone. If the stone were small, Kotoko Iwanaga could carry it with her and deliver it.

Unfortunately, the stone was not small; on the contrary, it was quite large. So, when it was delivered, it naturally needed to be escorted. After all, something so conspicuous and clearly not ordinary was unlikely to be snatched by mindless, crazy monsters.

That's why a bunch of little monsters and Zeng Wu appeared to escort them, but as the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens!

Although the wild monsters around didn't know what it was, any normal monster would be tempted after sensing the immense power it constantly emitted, because they felt that if they could absorb a portion of it, they could instantly leap to the level of a great monster.

If one could absorb all of it, one might become a great demon comparable to or even surpassing legendary figures like Hagoromo Gitsune and Shuten-dōji.

So what followed was a predictable series of attacks, but so far most of the monsters attacking them have been small fry; the really powerful ones haven't made a move yet.

As the old saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

This thing is clearly no ordinary object; how could I be the only one eyeing it? There must be other monsters, or even non-monsters, coveting its power.

So far, they haven't managed to eliminate any of the smaller monsters inside, which is simply unbelievable, as if some kind of power is protecting them.

And the only thing they could think of to explain this suspicion was the effect of that huge gem. Otherwise, tell them what kind of power could make even a little monster so powerful!

But the more powerful it is, the more they want it! Even a little monster has such exaggerated defensive capabilities! If they could absorb it, wouldn't they be on their way to heaven!

Therefore, those who coveted the large gemstone were unaware that the power covering these little monsters was actually even more extraordinary than the master of that power source.

If they found out, they might immediately back down, and probably wouldn't even dare to utter a sound before slinking away in shame.

"Hmph! Another fool trying to get himself killed!"

Upon seeing yet another group of bizarrely-looking monsters charging towards them, Zengwu uttered a disgruntled tone while simultaneously gathering an enormous fireball in his mouth, estimated to be about the size of a four- or five-story building.

Then the next moment...

"boom!"

The towering flames spread outwards from the monsters in front of them, setting the surrounding trees ablaze. If an outsider saw this, they would probably immediately think that a forest fire had broken out.

The small monsters that were hit by this attack were undoubtedly reduced to ashes, since there weren't enough small monsters here to be able to win by sheer numbers.

However, just as Zeng Wu released the fireball, a bunch of wings emanating an ominous aura suddenly shot from the distant mountain peak, moving so fast that even he couldn't react immediately.

"brush!"

Unfortunately, the guy who made the move is destined not to get the results he wants today.

"Wow... Wow..."

Just as these wings were about to touch Zeng Wu's body, they seemed to be neutralized by some special energy, becoming soft and limp like tissues as they slowly drifted to the ground.

"Where are you running to, little thief!"

As a being with two minds, Wu of the snake tail naturally has its own unique way of attacking, and the most obvious and powerful thing about snakes since their birth is the venom they carry.

And this isn't just any poison, it's a curse!

Upon discovering that the creature that had just ambushed them was a tengu exuding an ominous aura, Satoru directly used a curse to kill it from a distance.

"Crack!"

After taking a bite out of the empty air, the crow tengu, which was still on guard in the distance, suddenly felt an excruciating pain coming from its wing, which was spreading throughout its body.

"!!!!!!"

The tengu, attacked in this way, immediately looked back at its wings and saw black patterns, like snakes, spreading across its body at an ever-increasing speed!

However, that's probably not all! As the curse expands, the demonic power itself is constantly weakening. In other words, the speed at which the curse expands depends on the strength of the demon involved! The weaker the demon, the slower it expands; the stronger the demon, the faster it expands!

It's like one is fire and the other is gasoline!

But the question is, how exactly did I get hit? I was clearly still a long straight distance away from my opponent!

But now is not the time to talk about that. He must cut off his wings immediately, or he might die here!

"Click! Ugh!"

The tengu, enduring the pain of tearing off its own wings, couldn't help but groan in agony. After the wings were completely torn off, the ground was covered in blood.

Then, to avoid a second attack, he could only flap his remaining wing and flee to other hilltops.

at the same time……

"Hmph! You're pretty quick..."

Wu, noticing that the curse's growth had suddenly slowed down, clicked his tongue in annoyance. He also made no attempt to launch a second attack, suggesting that the previous move had been quite taxing on him, or that the attack required a considerable cooldown before it could be used again.

Chapter 128 Arrival

Although there was a precedent of someone who didn't end up well, it couldn't completely extinguish the other monsters' greed for that huge gem, since it was an opportunity for them to rise to the top in one step.

Moreover, monsters believe in the law of the jungle. If this thing were to fall into the hands of other monsters who have a grudge against them, they might not see the sun rise the next day. Therefore, even if they cannot obtain it themselves, they cannot let those who have a grudge against them get it.

However, this is not what Zengwu and the others hoped for. Although he is currently protected by an invisible shield and will not be injured, it does not mean that he does not need to replenish his demon power!

After round after round of battles, even a powerful demon like him, whose strength was in the middle range, was starting to feel the strain. After all, he didn't have the kind of bug-like energy of infinite demonic power.

The consequence of having defenses but no energy is that you can only take the gems while being controlled by the opponent.

Anyway, the troublesome thing is that you're not the gem, so naturally we have to find a way to get around you and take the gem away. Besides, they haven't forgotten what their purpose is this time.

"Huff...huff...you bunch of guys..."

Panting heavily, seemingly exhausted, Zeng Wu appeared to want to struggle a bit more. Just as he was about to relocate the gemstone, he was suddenly blocked by a standing stone wall.

"Hey! Hey! Stop struggling! Although we can't hurt you right now, there are countless abilities that can hinder you. Anyway, you won't use that stone even if you get it! So you might as well give it to us!"

A monster with a sinister voice and an appearance similar to an ordinary old man, but with only one eye, spoke.

"dream!"

However, Zeng Wu had no intention of acknowledging his "good intentions," especially since he had promised the princess that he would deliver the item to its destination, and he would not break his promise, even if it meant risking his life.

Can……

With his condition almost completely depleted and him already in a defensive state, it would be difficult for him to risk his life.

So in the end, he could only watch helplessly as these monsters slowly carried the gemstone away to other places.

But since Hoshino Gokawa had given them a shield, how could he not notice what was happening here?

So the next moment-------------------------------

"..."

An unimaginably terrifying aura suddenly appeared in the sky. Although it was only for a moment, the effect was undoubtedly terrifying. Didn't you see that there was no sound in the entire forest? Even the trees that Zeng Wu had set ablaze did not make any crackling sounds at that moment.

However, because this aura was intentionally controlled by Hoshino Gokawa, it did not travel very far, only spreading within this mountain area.

"Run! Run! Run!"

Feeling the alarm bells ringing in their minds, the monsters no longer cared about the large gem. They used every ounce of strength they had to desperately run away.

And judging from the current situation, it seems that the guy who was extremely arrogant just now is the one who is running the fastest right now.

"..."

Meanwhile, Kotoko Iwanaga's underlings were a little confused as to what had just happened, watching the monsters escape.

Because Hoshino Gokawa had shielded them with a layer of protection, they didn't sense the aura emanating from above. If they had sensed it, their performance might have been just as good as those fleeing guys.

Normally, monsters would mock one side after it loses a battle, but due to the current strange situation, they are hesitant to say anything for the time being.

So they simply picked up the large gem and continued on their way. In the following journey, although monsters still came to their door, they no longer had the same impressive lineup as before, as if all the ambitious ones had been wiped out in the previous attack.

When they were still ten kilometers away from their destination, a very strong storm suddenly struck from afar. However, because they were wearing a turtle shield, the storm did not blow them away.

Otherwise, they would be swept into the air and fall to their deaths, or even be crushed by trees or cars sweeping in from afar before they even land.

If things have deteriorated to this extent just ten kilometers away, one can only imagine how dire the situation must be at the destination.

"Huh...huh..."

As the massive tornado approached from afar, some of the defenders felt a chill run down their spines.

Because at this moment they need the other party to be a real "natural disaster".

"No! We can't stop them at all!"

Meanwhile, some Onmyoji, exorcists, and individuals with supernatural powers who had cooperative relationships with official personnel couldn't help but shout.

Because just now! Before they even touched the defensive barrier they had set up, it was directly blown away by the gale coming from afar, or rather, the node was disturbed by that huge flow of spiritual energy.

It could even be said that all their previous arrangements were a joke in the face of such absolute power.

Since these extraordinary individuals are of no use, the only option left is to send in the military.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Some of the missile vehicles that were already prepared launched their missiles directly.

then……

There's no after that.

The several missiles launched did not explode; instead, they spun along with the large tornado, then, after accumulating enough power, they were launched from the tornado and hurtled towards them like boomerangs.

"!!!!!!"

Several special forces personnel reacted quickly and shouted a warning.

"Lie down quickly!"

"Peng!"

A violent explosion occurred in front of the port, accompanied by flames that filled the sky, and because there were already ships docked nearby.

Therefore, a second chain of explosions was inevitable.

"boom!"

Some of the loose pieces of metal were carried by the raging wind and hurtled towards the defensive area, with one of the unluckiest people being seriously injured by the impact.

But that's not the point! The point is, this is the first missile to return!

"Huh...huh..."

After the first missile was returned, the remaining missiles began to be chased back by the gale one after another, but this time their destinations were not as lucky as before.

If no force intervenes at this point, three missiles will explode at the defensive center, while the remaining missiles will scatter in the surrounding area, and if blown far away, they may even hit nearby hills.

Chapter 129 God

And it was at this very moment!

A golden blade of air, nearly a hundred meters in arc, suddenly flew down from the sky. Its speed was so great that it could even intercept the missiles in mid-air.

The missiles that were instantly sliced ​​by this air blade all exploded violently.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Whoosh!"

Feeling the scorching heat, some people lying on the ground immediately covered their faces with their right hands to avoid being burned and disfigured.

As for why they didn't bury their faces in the ground...

That's because they weren't sure what would happen next. If they kept their heads down, they might not be able to dodge flying debris and get crushed to death. Therefore, they had to keep their eyes on the situation in front of them at all times. After all, only in this way could they increase their chances of surviving such an event.

After the explosion ended and the hot air turned into cold air again, they suddenly looked up at the place where the air blades had just flown out, which was the sky!

"..."

Then they saw them, saw several gods standing on white clouds whose faces they could not see, but whose golden light shone from them and illuminated the entire sky!

The main figures who were being watched by mortals did not show much emotion about it. After all, they had been watched for thousands of years, so how could they be moved by the gaze of mortals?

Moreover, they have a very important matter to attend to now, so how can they be distracted by something trivial?

"Is this... a divine beast born of nature?"

Seeing Bishamon through the tornado covering the outside, she couldn't help but frown slightly. When she arrived, she thought he was just a naturally born spirit.

After actually seeing it, Bishamon realized he had made a mistake. If it was a naturally born spirit, killing it wouldn't have caused any problems. After all, some of the monsters are technically spirits, and you see, exorcists get away with killing them.

But divine beasts are different! Since they are divine beasts, they must possess divine authority! And judging from the terrifying power they possess, the divine authority they hold is probably not simple! Storms are definitely a part of it!

Therefore, if Bishamon decides to kill the other party, the weather on the entire planet will likely be in a state of torrential rain and strong winds for a long time afterward!
