I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 587 You dare kill my horse?!

boom----------

The sun had set, and darkness was gradually falling; yet, in Seattle, a city in northwestern America, a sun suddenly rose.

In an instant, it was as if the day had suddenly turned into noon. A blazing white fireball rose up, its light illuminating half of Washington state; it set off alarm bells again for the defense ministries of countless countries around the world, their red lights flashing!

"Alarm! Alarm! Alarm!"

"An extraordinary explosion has occurred in Seattle, Washington state, America!"

"The estimated intensity of the explosion is—"

"Between the mighty demon and the weak dragon!"

???

In an instant, the top officials of all the countries stood up.

Could this intensity indicate that the Burning Legion is planning something big?

But why the sudden attack on that city? Regardless of the circumstances, Seattle is finished!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

However, the reality is not like that.

Because on one side of the rising sphere of light, a large number of jet-black lightning bolts shot out, forcibly disrupting and cutting the 'space', causing it to constantly shift and become displaced; even the 'sunlight' was interrupted by this brief spatial displacement, and most of its power was blocked.

Of course, it only blocked a portion of the force; the vast majority of the explosive power was directed northward.

The enormous sphere of exploding light continued to expand, expand, and expand again!!
Buildings disintegrated in the light, and before they could collapse and fall, they broke apart and turned to ashes in mid-air due to the terrifying heat they absorbed!
Like a wall of destruction, the spherical white light spread, melting even the earth and annihilating everything in its path! The light swept across the northern region of Seattle, across Lake Washington, and across the Alkaid Sea.
It didn't stop until it had spread for more than ten kilometers, still feeling unsatisfied.

Even so, buildings and mountains further away were all ablaze with a black and red hue: the intense light from that moment was enough to send objects radiating thousands of degrees; the area covered would extend for tens of kilometers!

If Deidara were here, he would definitely applaud and exclaim that this is true 'art';
This attack was just as powerful as his self-destruction.

Theoretically speaking, even a demon-level powerhouse would have a hard time surviving such an explosion.

but--

"Cough cough cough,"

From within the mangled body of the tentacle monster, which had been blasted thousands of meters by the shockwave, a figure struggled to crawl out.

It was Luigi!
He survived not because of his own strength.

It was because he was located behind Xiao.

"Is this what a B-level expert is like?"

Looking around, the earth beneath one's feet was covered with giant cracks. In some places, lava flowed, in others, the ground was black and red, and in still others, nothing happened. All the cracks were converging on one place: the center of the battlefield.

"Lord, cough cough, Lord!!"

On the other side, Odro, his arm twisted, was being helped along by the blond Sekus, stumbling and falling.

They were also lucky, falling into the safe zone torn apart by Xiao's 'black flash'.

"You're alright? That's so good!"

The two were overjoyed; if something had happened to Luigi, they wouldn't know how to go on.

"I'm fine, the most important thing now is—"

Braving the sweltering heat of thousands of degrees, Luigi headed towards the center of the battlefield and soon spotted his target:
The Flame Lord's massive, mangled corpse, and:

The charred black figure lying in front of the Flame Lord still held a knife that looked like half a door panel in its hand.

Manolos!

filial piety!
Judging from the scene, Manolos, now only half-dead, was undoubtedly dead beyond any doubt, but filial piety—

Glug,

Supported by Sekus, Audero swallowed hard.
If they kill the superhumans of this island nation, they can obtain two superhuman traits.
"Rescue!"

Luigi's voice brought the two back to their senses.

However, when he arrived close enough to confront Xiao, who resembled a charred humanoid, he was helpless.

"No, Lord, we lack the power."

After trying it, the blond Sekus shook his head.

They possessed the healing abilities of other superhumans, but whether it was parasitic limbs or healing potions, they were instantly ignited and burned upon landing on Xiao.

The difference is too big!
How could a wolf-level healing ability possibly suppress a demon-level injury?
"Use blood—"

His gaze fell on the half of the 'decapitation sword' held in Xiao's hand. Thinking of the characteristics of this extraordinary weapon, Luigi raised his hand without hesitation and scratched his wrist with his fingernail.

puff,

Fresh blood gushed out.

?

"Lord, You"

“Let’s do it!”

Audero and Secus were alarmed and rushed over, stumbling, and also slit their wrists.

The blood of the three men dripped continuously onto the broken guillotine, like water droplets on a sponge; there was no visible change, and it was unclear whether the treatment had any effect.
"Thanks,"

The 'filial piety' lying on the ground like charcoal suddenly spoke, startling Audero so much that his wrist trembled.

Is this guy still conscious?
If he had made a move just now.
"No, we are the ones who should be saying thank you."

Luigi treated his opponent by drawing blood while apologizing with remorse.

"We've dragged you into this battle. Don't worry, we'll definitely find a way to heal you."

"No, I came here of my own accord."

Xiao, who was blown to a crisp, gave a calm reply.

As he said, coming to America was his own choice; Luigi secretly approached him, hoping he would help ambush the Flame Lord, which was something he had agreed to: since that was the case, he would bear all the consequences himself and could not blame anyone else.

The final 'Burning Explosion' from the Flame Lord Manolos was terrifying, even making Xiao think he was going to die.

But he managed to pull through, albeit at the cost of 70% of his skin and muscles being carbonized, leaving him barely alive: this was only after he used his decapitation sword as a 'shield' to block the attack.

"Lord, leave this to us. You."

While bleeding Xiao to treat him, Audero gave him a meaningful look.

"it is good,"

Luigi knew this wasn't the time for sentimentality, so he got up and strode forward to Manolos's mangled corpse.

The power of a Class B legendary creature!

Only with such strength does he have the right to protect the people.

As Luigi stretched out his hand, the mangled corpse suddenly trembled slightly, as if something was awakening.

Immediately afterwards, a blazing red light burst forth from the corpse's heart, shooting straight into the sky like a sharp blade tearing through the twilight; the light was initially just a faint point, but it quickly spread, distorting the surrounding air into a scorching vortex.

The light shone out, and the intense heat made everyone present feel terrified.

It's like walking in the desert, about to be baked into a dried corpse by the scorching sun, with even your soul being burned!

嗤、

With a soft sound, a drop of crystal-clear golden blood appeared in the red light. The surface of the blood was covered with lava-like patterns, as if it contained endless fiery power. It was surrounded by rings of blazing light, like the corona of the sun, which scorched the surrounding air and made it crackle.

As the blood was completely extracted, crimson light began to converge upon it;
The body, which had been radiating intense heat, quickly grew cold, and the dark red lines on its skin gradually faded, as if all its life force had been devoured by that drop of blood.

Blood floated in the air, radiating a chilling pressure that distorted and warped even space itself under its heat. Boom—

Just then, the blood suddenly burst forth with a bright light, and the surrounding temperature soared. The rubble and ashes on the ground were instantly ignited again, turning into a sea of ​​fire! From within the flames, a low roar could be faintly heard, indicating that the soul of the 'Flame Lord' was still struggling within.

Desecrating the stone slab!

How could we possibly fail at this time?
As the stone tablet in Luigi's mind slowly turned, inexplicable rules once again enveloped his blood.

Like a moth drawn to a spiderweb, or a beast trapped in a cage; the light gradually faded, and golden blood flew toward Luigi, falling into his palm.

Only the flowing lava and leaping flames on the surrounding land serve as a constant reminder of how terrifying it is for those who perish here!
I've got the B-grade extraordinary ability! X2
On the other side, Audero and Sekus turned to look at their master, whose five fingers slowly clenched the cage, holding the golden blood in his palm. They were both flushed with excitement! It wasn't until Xiao on the ground reminded them that they noticed:

"Be careful, you're about to lose too much blood."

While the two were frantically bandaging and stopping the bleeding, it suddenly became bright daylight!

The west,

Another 'sun' has risen again.

? !
The sun rises in the east; this is an ironclad law for the entire planet. Of course, it will rise in the west.
A golden beam of light shot out!

"Manolos."

Next second,
A figure appeared in the sky above the ruins of the battlefield in the northern industrial area of ​​Seattle.

This is a tall gentleman wearing a black trench coat with a red lining and exquisite patterns; a twisted bone gem pendant hangs on the collar, and the flames burning on the coat add a touch of elegance and eeriness to the trench coat.

White molten gloves, black gentleman's boots.

The goat demon's head, adorned with a monocle, cast a fiery gaze upon the cold, half-corpse of 'Manolos'.

Although not his 'child,' it was still a kindred spirit born from the flames of the Creator; now lying dead on the spot, it enraged the 'Duke of the Blazing Sun'.

"First of all, I must commend your bravery."

Regardless, being able to kill Manolos is definitely a skill.

But—what good is bravery? Killing one's own kind comes at a price!

"Then, I can give you one minute to leave your last words."

As a reward for bravery.

Looking up at the 'polite' Duke of the Sun in the sky, Audero and Sekus below couldn't help but show despair; even Luigi was filled with helplessness and resentment.

They could devise an ambush to kill the Flame Lord, but this Duke... he'd be utterly outmatched!
Alas, is there really no way to defy fate?

Even if Luigi were to immediately swallow the 'Overflow' ability in his hand,
Even with a one in ten thousand chance of not losing control, they were still no match for Duke Yanyang: there was an insurmountable chasm between Ghost-level and Dragon-level.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao."

We've done everything we could. Since failure is inevitable, let's face it with equanimity.

"No need to apologize, we won't die here today."

Xiao, still in his charred state, had already sensed the appearance of another aura.

"because--"

"Goat Head! You're the one who beat my men up like this?"

Amidst the arrogant, crisp sound, a figure emerged in the sky.

"Nine Void Shaking Love?"

The flames on Duke Yanyang's body flickered.
"So that's how it is. Since you couldn't beat me, you sent someone to ambush my subordinates?"

No wonder Manolos was ambushed; it turns out this guy was plotting everything behind the scenes.

Hmph, I underestimated this little human girl.

"what?!"

Given Jiu Kong Yao Ai's character, she had already left a means of sensing Xiao: just waiting for him to die so she could immediately use Impure World Reincarnation to pull him over.

"You mere goat's head, don't look down on me!"

Sensing that Xiao was in a 'near-death state', Jiu Kong Yao Ai came over to take a look, only to find herself in a 'big pot' of trouble.

"Alright, alright, I'm going to blow up your lousy island!"

What kind of temper does Jiu Kong have?
Anyone who dares to bare their teeth at her will be killed on the spot; if you can't beat them, just remember them.

The Duke of Yanyang in front of her was the kind of fighter who could go toe-to-toe with his opponent: he only lost a hand last time because he was careless. With Jiu Kong Yao Ai's strength, she was not afraid of him even if they went head-to-head.

"you dare--"

"I'll kill these men of yours first!"

Duke Yanyang was engulfed in flames. Sun Island was proof left by the Creator, and he could not allow it to be destroyed.

"Heh heh heh, so be it."

Unfortunately, Jiu Kong Yao Ai is completely unaffected because:
"Xiao, after you die, I will resurrect you and you will stay by my side from now on."

"No, I think it's good to be alive."

Xiao Du, who was charred black below, was already used to the young lady's willful words.

As he said, he doesn't want to 'die' yet: it's almost impossible for an Edo Tensei body to become stronger, and it also loses many senses. Takashi hasn't reached the point of being without desires.

"Alright, I'm going to blow up the island now!"

After saying that, Jiu Kong Yao Ai, who acted on a whim, teleported away on the spot.

? ? ? ?
This human girl is serious—

Duke Yanyang's pupils contracted, and after taking one last look at Xiao, who resembled a charred corpse, he transformed into a golden ray of light!

Go back and stop that willful human girl.

"So, we're safe?"

As the two top experts departed one after the other, the sky over the battlefield ruins darkened once more, night had fallen, and only lava and flames replaced the lights of the city.

Audero couldn't help but turn his head, and in response to his question, or rather, his own words, the blond Sekus pondered for a moment.

"Yes."

Gululu~~~
Dark, shadowy tentacles crawled over and lifted Xiao up.

"Mr. Xiao, let's go back for treatment first."

Luigi walked over.
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

Xiao, who was blown to a crisp, could only move his mouth, but he wasn't worried.

Just as Jiu Kongyao said, as soon as he dies, the young lady will immediately 'resurrect' him.

In a sense, he was also someone who wasn't afraid of death.

Although this isn't a good thing...
"Lord, I'll go contact the others."

"plz follow me--"

Despite being severely injured and bleeding, Audero and Sekus were in high spirits and full of excitement.

It worked!
Their 'master' successfully obtained a B-level extraordinary characteristic, which means:

You'll soon be able to enter the realm of B-level legends!

No, this is just the beginning.

One day, the Lord will lead them to drive out these gods and demons and establish a world where ordinary people will not be harmed.
