Chapter 384 Nothing could be more terrifying than this.

The following day, the blockade of Nikko City was lifted by the official history compilation committee.

However, due to the immense impact of the battle between Aize and Sun Wukong, Nikko City is now practically uninhabitable.

Mount Nikko, which had transformed into Flower Fruit Mountain, collapsed directly. A large number of buildings in Nikko City also collapsed, and even Mount Nantai suffered some damage. This city, which was full of historical sites, was almost reduced to ruins and nearly destroyed.

The official report afterwards stated that Nikko City had been hit by a major earthquake, requiring large-scale reconstruction. The scale of the reconstruction was no less than that of Sardinia, which nearly sank to the bottom of the sea. It is clear that there will be no tourists visiting Nikko City for some time to come.

The Toshogu Shrine, where the Western Heaven Palace is located, was also completely destroyed. Even the Monkey God Lord enshrined there was gone. The Nine Laws Tomb Clan, one of the four great families, is now in a very precarious situation. Their status will likely plummet, and they may even be squeezed out of the ranks of the four great families, thus becoming a fallen and prestigious clan.

Fortunately, when Nikko City was struck by disaster, all the citizens were transformed into berserk monkeys resembling divine messengers by the arrival of Sun Wukong, thus escaping many calamities.

After Sun Wukong was defeated, the citizens of Nikko City were also rescued. Some of them were less affected by Sun Wukong's curse because they were far away from Nikko Mountain, so they were restored to their original state. Others were too close to Nikko Mountain and were greatly affected by Sun Wukong's curse, so they are still in the form of monkeys to this day.

The official history compilation committee has already organized a rescue effort, dispatching many sorcerers, onmyoji, and shrine maidens to form a group to break the curse, specifically responsible for studying and removing the ape-like phenomenon from these citizens, and striving to restore them to normal.

At Sayamiya Kaoru's request and with the intercession of Mariya Yuri, Aize took a look at the citizens who had turned into monkeys, and then easily used the Ama no Kusanagi Sword to remove their ape-like transformation and restore them to normal.

The ability of the Kusanagi Sword to steal cursed power was perfectly suited for use on these citizens who had been turned into monkeys.

As long as the alien curse power in these monkeys is taken away, and the curse that Sun Wukong placed on them is removed, they will naturally return to their original state.

"Even a Grand Magician of the Paladin level would have a hard time dispelling these spells, right?"

"Wang solved it with ease... You truly live up to your reputation."

Erica and Liliana witnessed everything and praised Aize's performance.

These two were very active in this incident, not only fighting against a large number of monkey gods and escaping unscathed, but also reportedly encountering the same monkey gods that Aize had met in front of the Water Curtain Cave, and getting into a rather arduous battle.

Whether it's Erika or Liliana, although they are child prodigies and great knights, it is still quite difficult for them to deal with divine beasts.

Although mythical beasts vary in strength, they are comparable to paladins. For a high-ranking knight, dealing with a mythical beast is no easy task.

However, Liliana possesses the Word of David and can use the ultimate magic of battle against gods. Once she uses this move, even when the enemy is caught off guard, she still has a way to turn the tide and defeat those mindless monkey beasts.

Erika also learned a combat magic of the same level, called the Word of Golgotha.

That is the hymn of calamity that Jesus Christ sang with all his might before his death at Golgotha. It is a word of hatred and despair that is added to weapons. When it is sung, the surrounding temperature will drop, take away the caster's concentration, and cause him to make pointless mistakes. Ordinary people will go blind just by hearing it, and the weak will collapse. If the caster has the intention, he can even curse and kill everyone at the same time.

Like David's Word of Power, this is a top-level combat magic capable of harming gods.

While it would be difficult to deal with gods, it is enough to pose a threat even when used against divine beasts.

So, when Liliana used David's Word of Power to defeat a monkey-god beast, Erica also used Golgotha's Word of Power to defeat a monkey-god beast.

As for Yuri Mariya, she stayed by Erica and Liliana's side. Although she did not participate in the battle, her excellent spiritual vision was constantly triggered in this alien city of Nikko, allowing her to make appropriate warnings and instructions, enabling Erica and Liliana to avoid various dangers in time.

When the flood summoned by Aize was petrified by Sun Wukong using the secret technique of the Stone Mountain Cave and pressed down from mid-air, crushing a large area centered on Huaguo Mountain, if Wanligu Youli hadn't seen all of this beforehand and given a warning, they might not have been able to escape danger at the foot of the mountain.

Yuri Mariya's performance surprised Erica, who was learning about her abilities for the first time, and she scrutinized her for a long time with a mixture of surprise and deep meaning. Afterwards, she even said something to Aize.

"To be able to recruit such a capable close advisor, the king's judgment is far superior to that of Minister Salvatore."

Clearly, Yuri Mariya's abilities have been recognized by Erika.

But when another close confidant Azer had recruited in the country appeared, Erica was not so easy to talk to.

no way.

These two seem to be somewhat incompatible.

…………

Shichio Shrine, within the territory.

When Aize and his group returned from Radiant City in a limousine, it was after the lockdown on Radiant City had been lifted.

The four of them got out of the car at the same time, and this time there was an extra person traveling with them.

"Thank you again for your help this time."

Dressed in men's clothing, Saya Miyako accompanied Aize this time, escorted him back, and thanked him before leaving.

She thanked Aize not only for resolving the issue of the disobedient Sun Wukong, but also for turning the ape-like citizens back to their original forms.

"It was nothing, no need for repeated thanks." Aize glanced at Saya Miyako and said, "If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be those old fogies from the Underworld."

“Those old folks dare not see you.” Saya Miyako said with a wry smile, “It’s not that we didn’t report this incident, but we don’t know what those old folks saw, they all seem very reluctant to meet you.” These words gave Aize reason to believe that those old guys hiding in the Netherworld might have seen his performance in Sunlight City in some way.

It's one thing if he fights Sun Wukong, but if his fight with Lancelot is also seen, then of course they wouldn't dare to face Aize.

Just kidding, the Last King they had been guarding against and hiding was actually eliminated by Azer without a sound, and even the God of Salvation's Blade fell into Azer's hands. Isn't that terrifying?

Even Athena, the Queen of the Trinity, the ruler of the underworld and the earth, the highest-ranking earth mother goddess, was easily subdued by Azer. If those old people saw this scene, they would definitely be so frightened that they would question their existence.

If they still dare to come see Aize, then there's something fishy going on.

Susanoo, in particular, has absolutely no desire to have anything to do with Azer anymore.

Who knows if he were to appear in front of him this time, what would be taken away this time wouldn't be the knife, but himself?

Nothing could be more terrifying than this!
Therefore, the old people of the Netherworld have begun to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and have even gone to hide in deeper parts of the Netherworld, and may not return for some time.

Unless they can unravel the many mysteries surrounding Azer that are currently incomprehensible, and reveal the true nature of his strange power to control various divine artifacts, they certainly won't dare to return.

Of the two who appeared with Susanoo, the monk disappeared without a trace first, followed by the loss of contact with the husband. Only the princess with Ruri-hime was unaffected, preventing the official forces such as the History Compilation Committee from completely losing contact with the sages of the underworld.

In short, Aize has finally gotten his revenge, and he believes those guys will never want to mess with him again.

"Then I will withdraw first."

Sayako Kaoru bowed to Aize, then turned to Erica and Liliana.

"Miss Erica and Miss Liliana, I hope you both have a wonderful time in this country!"

Saya Miyako said this with a smile on her face.

"I will take a critical look at this country."

Erica responded with an elegant and confident smile, like a lady of high society.

"I will."

Liliana, unlike Erica, didn't like to show off and replied rather coldly, appearing somewhat indifferent.

Sayamiya Kaoru got back into the car and was driven away by Touma Kashiwagi.

Erica and Liliana watched the limousine depart before they began to talk.

"I never expected that someone like that would also be a priestess. The East is truly amazing."

Erica smiled as she made her comment.

"Although she is not as good as Yuri Mariya, Kaoru Saya is also a very good shrine maiden."

Liliana seemed to sense something, and looked thoughtfully at the departing limousine.

"Don't let Kaoru's appearance fool you. When she was a priestess, she was also an outstanding student."

Yuri Mariya, however, tried to salvage some dignity for her friend who was dressed as a man.

"Alright, let's go back first, I'm a little hungry."

Aize yawned, spoke lazily, and walked towards the office.

The three girls immediately followed and returned to the office together.

However, when the group entered the office and opened the door to the living room, a figure had already arrived and was sitting there drinking tea.

"Huina!"

Upon seeing that person, Yuri Mariya was the first to exclaim in surprise.

"Wang, Yuri, you're finally back!"

Seikiin Ena, who was sitting there with an exceptionally dignified posture, turned her head and greeted them with a smile.

After several days, Ena Seikiin finally returned.

Beside him, the sword pouch containing the snow-white spirit sword lay quietly, silently asserting its presence.
