Chapter 209 Guarantee
"plan!?"

From the tattered cloak covering its body, the monster extended a jet-black arm covered in scales, its five slender fingers tapping on the armrest of the stone chair.

"Could it be that, like before, your Eight Blessings Society is planning a 'god-killing ritual' to gain the power of the gods in this country and try to overthrow the throne in heaven?"

It seemed uninterested, simply sighing, "Don't bother me with such boring things anymore~~"

The monster, also known as the great demon Mephisto, is a powerful being known for his capricious and willful behavior among the demon nobles of Hell.

As information life forms from the other dimension of "Hell", demons are born with the characteristic of being neither born nor dying, because their true form always stays in Hell.

Hell is a world devoid of any entertainment, and the demons are so bored that they can't even die from wanting to commit suicide. They are neither hungry nor thirsty, and are in a state of perpetual boredom.

This results in demons having twisted and bizarre personalities; they were originally trapped in their own world, the spacetime known as Hell.

Later, they discovered a way to travel to other dimensions, which was like opening Pandora's box.

The demons began to expand on a large scale, eager to send their clones to other parallel worlds or different dimensional spaces, thus causing various chaos and conflicts.

In fact, this was not the first time Mephistopheles had dealt with this paradise island nation. The last time it descended in its true form was two hundred years ago, when it was "warmly" received by the people of this world.

It adored humans and loved to engage in a love-hate relationship with them. After it descended upon the island nation, it became one of the five great demon kings under the name "Great Tengu - Demonic Fallen Heaven," wreaking havoc for fifty years until it was finally driven out of this world 150 years ago.

In fact, this wasn't the first time the monster had dealt with the Eight Blessings Society. It was just a pity that the demons and monsters of the Eight Blessings Society were far removed from him in terms of their beliefs, interests, and playful attitude.

"Do not."

Benzaiten, also known as "Yaobikuni," said calmly, "Lord Mephistopheles, unlike in the past, the current philosophy of the Eight Blessings Society is not to pursue the so-called 'god-killing ritual,' nor is it simply to obtain the power of the gods."

She paused, then said solemnly, "Now, our Eight Blessings Society's plan will turn the whole world upside down, break the existing pattern, and ultimately, even different countries, ethnic groups, religions, contradictions and conflicts will change accordingly."

"For this reason, we need more power. If Mephisto, no, 'Great Demonic Fallen Angel' also needs to provide me with assistance, then the success rate of the plan will increase."

Next, she gave a very brief explanation of the so-called "plan" of the Eight Blessings Society.

The monster was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then burst into loud laughter.

"I see, I see... After your last failed attempt to plan a transvestite uprising, you guys came up with these ideas again..."

Suddenly, it paused again.

"Not bad, to be honest, it's quite innovative, but unfortunately, I'm not interested."

"You're not interested?"

Yaobikuni was somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, I'm not interested."

The monster shook its head and denied it.

“Your plans might be somewhat interesting from a human perspective, but I am not human, I am a demon, so naturally… your plans don’t hold much appeal for a demon like me.”

"That's a shame."

Yaobikuni could only sigh helplessly at this outcome.

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

After saying this, the woman in purple bowed slightly and disappeared like mist.

"Let's meet again sometime..."

The monster spoke in a calm tone. It wasn't the first time it had seen the woman in purple. She was an immortal being, a powerful, pitiful, and tragic undead.

Unlike demons, human souls cannot maintain immortality for long periods of time. No, even demons would get bored with endless time. But for humans, after thousands of years, their souls either collapse or are completely rewritten from within, turning into alien beings.

"Indeed, there will be another chance to meet again. However, when that time comes, I don't know if the 'you' of that time will still be the same 'you' of now."

……

Did you make it?

Hyakusuke looked at the giant lying on the ground.

—The hunchbacked giant was still defeated even after his second transformation.

Just now, this creature, which had transformed into a lion monster with tentacles covering its neck, began attacking with incredible speed. In the game, when a woman is bound by these tentacles, it becomes a fan service scene. Furthermore, these tentacles don't seem to be afraid of the explosive combustion and flames after being soaked in oil, unlike in the first stage.

The most troublesome thing is that it can also release a large number of flesh-eating flies. The monster can release swarms of flies from its body, like a blue-black mist, to attack Hyakusuke and Maihana.

According to the game's setting, flesh-eating flies bite and burrow into a person's skin, penetrate the body and pierce the ovipositor, reproduce in the human body, and then gnaw from the internal organs all the way to the heart, causing the person to die in excruciating pain, or turning a living person into a breeding ground.

These poisonous flies are also "products" of the Gloomy Spore Forest. They are naturally highly poisonous, and there are thousands or even tens of thousands of them. The flies scattered in the air have cold, inorganic compound eyes and blue-black bodies. The faint sound of their wings flapping can shake the dark caves.

When the ten dancing flowers saw the greedy flies approaching, they couldn't help but let out a sharp cry.

She absolutely hates insects.

Moreover, these poisonous flies were unusually large, several times larger than ordinary flies. Fortunately, even in this state, the blonde young lady was able to maintain her fighting ability instead of fleeing in panic.

However, her attack became chaotic. The swarm of flies buzzed and vibrated their short wings as they flew closer and closer—one by one—until Bai Jie and she could clearly see the inorganic compound eyes of the flesh-eating flies.

"Don't be afraid, proceed according to plan—"

Bai Jie remained unmoved.

He knew how to defeat this monster.

Even in the game, these carnivorous flies are a very difficult boss skill to deal with at the end of a level.

However, in the game, you can find realgar and insect-repelling herbs, which can be mixed together to make special insecticides.

Next, Hyakusuke threw out this powder during the battle, which exploded with the Kira Arrow and splashed onto the former pirate captain who had transformed into a lion monster.

The monster immediately let out a soul-shattering scream, and the swarm of man-eating flies, stimulated by the insecticide, turned around and began to attack their master.

The giant's tentacles and flesh were being gnawed at by flesh-eating flies, and its lion-like upper body was gradually covered by a bluish-black mist.

It let out a scream, a sound of extreme pain, as the flesh-eating fly burrowed under its fur and skin, biting through the hard flesh and tentacles.

The flies quickly laid eggs, and because the eggs were formed from demonic energy, they grew rapidly. Tiny tumors appeared all over the lion monster's body, and something was wriggling inside these tiny eggs—the larvae of flesh-eating flies.

The lion-like giant stopped advancing, its massive body beginning to sway. Then, thousands of insect eggs burst open, and fly larvae splattered out along with blood and pus. More fly larvae, or maggots, twisted their bodies, desperately burrowing into the flesh.

Each maggot burrowed its head, covered in tiny thorns, into the lion monster's flesh; the sight was utterly disgusting.

In the end, the former pirate leader "Kousuke" was devoured by the flesh-eating flies he had released. His body was ravaged by the flies and maggots, and the lion monster's body collapsed silently.

Thousands of flesh-eating insects were gnawing at the huge monster lying on the ground. Even these poisonous flies and maggots couldn't finish this enormous pile of flesh in a short time.

"What a disgusting thing!"

Shijou Maika covered her mouth, desperately trying to suppress the urge to vomit, and backed away.

"How could such a terrifying creation exist in this world!?" Suddenly, a force came from her left ankle, and by the time Wuhua reacted, she had already been pulled to the ground.

"……what?"

Hyakusuke turned around and noticed that Tojou Maika had been attacked. A long, thin, intestine-like tentacle had wrapped around her ankle one and a half times. The other end of the tentacle had burrowed into the ground, as if the lion monster had impaled its tentacle in the earth, intending to launch a surprise attack from underground.

"Miss!"

Tanuki Bean also realized a lot, because Jujou Maika's face showed a painful expression.

The tentacles writhed and tightened like pincers, shattering the bones in her right ankle. At the same time, the tips of the tentacles that had wrapped around her ankle transformed into sharp spears, poised to pierce her head.

"That's too late!"

Hyakusuke's mind realized this.

At this moment, the "Shrinking Earth" teleportation was too late, the Qi Luo Arrow was too far away to solve the immediate problem, and the Escape Spear would be even slower to activate... In addition, his current spiritual power was insufficient.

No, ten dancing flowers will die.

He bit his lip, feeling as if he had exhausted all his options.

A moment later, a sound like something exploding was heard.

Bai Jie's eyes widened as his tentacle was severed in mid-air by something. With a sharp whoosh, the air made a piercing sound—the sound of sword energy cutting through the air.

"...It's you, Yoru."

Bai Jie was very surprised. He looked in the direction from which the sword energy came from. There was another narrow entrance in the corner, and a figure appeared there.

"What...did you just say?"

Despite her injured ankle, Shijou Maika struggled to her feet with the help of Tanuki Mame no Susumu.

She followed Hyakusuke's gaze to the narrow entrance, where a slender figure appeared.

She was a strange yet beautiful girl with long, glossy black hair and a dress as soft as a black-purple poppy.

The girl in the Western-style dress was not a Westerner; her features were typical of an Eastern face, with slightly droopy eyes and a beauty mark at the corner of her right eye.

Also worth mentioning is that the girl who suddenly appeared was holding a precious sword of different lengths in each of her left and right hands.

"you."

Suddenly, Jujou Maika parted her thin lips, staring intently at the girl, and said, "Who are you? Why... do you wield the treasured sword of the Tsukuyana clan!?"

During her time in the former territory of the Yuejialuo family, Wuhua saw the twin swords worn by the family head, Washizu, more than once.

She stared at the other person with wide eyes, filled with doubt, disbelief, and incomprehension.

However, as the blonde girl carefully observed the other person's face, an unexpected look of hesitation arose in her heart.

"You, could it be... you are—?"

Before Jijou Maika could finish speaking, a gust of wind swept in from the other side, and the Mizuzu Sword drew a crescent-shaped arc, its sharp blade slashing towards them.

At the critical moment, the tin staff also swung over, and the steel clashed violently, sparks flying everywhere.

Bai Jie arrived just in time for the crisis. He swung his staff and used the spear technique of the Flying God's Fang Flow to deflect Yue Jialuo Yeming's slash.

"Ye Ming, you..."

He still couldn't figure out why Yoru Akira attacked Shijou Maika as soon as he appeared.

"Is it possible?"

Bai Jie noticed that Yue Jialuo Yeming's eyes were empty, without light or focus, as if he were in a daze.

'...Were you brainwashed by the enemy, or did something else happen?'

He was startled, and the blade flashed again. In the next instant, the tin staff in his hand was cleaved in two.

So fast!

Before he could even process what was happening, a fist slammed into his chin, followed by a kick to his abdomen. Bai Jie was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

'hateful……'

At that moment, Hyakusuke's consciousness teetered on the brink of collapse, and at that very instant, a familiar voice reached his ears.

'sorry……'

On the other side, Jujou Maika and Tanuki Mame no Susumu were still not in a state of consciousness until the moment Hyakusuke was knocked away.

"You guy!"

A beat too slow, the blonde girl realized what was happening and shouted angrily, "I get it! You must have stolen the Yue Jialuo family's treasured sword, right? Give it back to me right now..."

She was too lazy to think too much, or rather, her brain was unwilling to accept reality. She simply opened her right hand, summoned the vajra, and threw it out with force, causing a sudden burst of powerful spiritual energy.

The Ten-Step Earth Dance Flower once again invoked the "Sword Armor Protector Multiplication Summoning Technique." In an instant, the Vajra Pestle expanded and grew larger, spewing flames from its tail and soaring straight through the air like a cannonball from a chariot.

Yue Jialuo remained motionless, not even glancing at the night sky. She swung the blade in her right hand, and the legendary treasured sword transformed into several streaks of light.

The vajra, capable of piercing through the mountain, was as if it were being disintegrated, sliced ​​apart by the ultra-high-speed strike, and scattered in all directions.

"W-What? This sword technique... Could it be the 'Evening Slash' of the Oboroten Ingetsu-ryu style!?"

Shijou Maika took a step back and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"Who...who are you? Why...why are you..."

The blonde girl shook her head frantically, unable to accept this reality.

Swish!
Ye Ming's figure slid as if teleporting, and his fist struck her stomach. Shi Tiao Di Wu Hua's waist bent over. She used her spiritual power to defend herself, but she was still hit by the fist and felt like vomiting.

Then, the black-haired girl in the dress casually swung her hand with a karate chop and knocked her unconscious.

"Alright, please bring both of them over here..."

Hank communicated with Yuejialuo Yeming through telepathy.

'...Will their safety be guaranteed in this way?'

Yuejialuo Yeming also asked him a question through telepathy.

"No problem... as long as we can fool that guy for now..."

Hank answered calmly.

"Furthermore, the two of us are far from enough to defeat that guy!"
