Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 137 Thunder
This battle.

All eyes are on you.

The red spider lily has eliminated all distractions, and its mind is filled with only the belief that it will win. It then heads towards the huge, rotten dead tree in the sea of ​​clouds.

The sea of ​​clouds suddenly began to shake.

A strange, ugly, pale figure slowly emerged from the front.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Whitewood Elder!]

This is a humanoid monster, pale and withered from head to toe, with an ugly old man's face, holding a flute and cold eyes.

Looks weird.

But not strong.

It's only at the first level, four stars in strength.

A monster of this strength appearing in this situation is obviously just a small monster.

A direct thrust.

The body of the White Wood Old Man was unexpectedly fragile. When pierced by the blade, it immediately turned into pieces and disappeared on the spot.

however.

not end yet.

The second, the third... the fifth.

Four more white wood elders appeared.

Higanbana immediately realized that although these strange individuals were not very strong, they could pose a threat due to their numbers.

Must be cleaned up as soon as possible!

Otherwise, how can we challenge the God of Source with so many troublesome guys causing trouble?
Almost all of them are only one or two dollars each.

It only took a few moves to clear out the four white wood elders.

As a result, more White Wood Elders appeared in this process.

These white wood elders also began to fight back, and their attack method was very special. They kept coughing and releasing green poisonous mist.

The more White Wood Elders there are, the more poisonous fog will be formed, and it will eventually cover all directions and become unavoidable.

At the same time, branch-like spikes kept emerging from under the feet, each of which was four or five meters long. If you couldn't notice and dodge in time, you would be pierced.

The red spider lily kept dodging the attacks and cuts from the tree thorns.

However, the number of white wood elders has not decreased but increased instead.

"hateful!"

"It's really troublesome!"

At this time, Higanbana noticed that although the white wood elder moved slowly, they were connected by roots underneath their bodies.

She decisively released the hook rope and grabbed a tree thorn about four or five meters high. She jumped from the air and attacked one of the ten white wood elders with a ninja attack.

Puff.

The long knife pierced the old man's body.

The red spider lily did not wait for the old man's body to disintegrate on its own.

She shouted loudly, raised her knife and pulled the old man up by the roots.

In this process, not only was the old man who was stabbed destroyed, but the surrounding white wood elders were also instantly killed because their roots were torn apart.

Cool!
An attack.

Ten of them were wiped out!
Higanbana immediately understood how to deal with these old men, so she frequently used the grappling hook to attack a group of old men.

Every time a ninja kills, it can wipe out a large area of ​​white wood monsters, so that the speed at which the monsters increase cannot keep up with the speed at which they are eliminated, thus preventing the formation of a large area of ​​dragon cough poison fog.

During this process, the red spider lily continues to move forward.

She was getting closer and closer to the huge rotten tree in the center of the sea of ​​clouds, and at this moment, the number of white wood elders killed was nearly a hundred.

At this time.

Everything changed suddenly.

Golden thunder exploded in the sky.

The red spider lily clearly felt that there were new changes in the space.

The white wood elders that kept appearing like dog-skin plasters stopped attacking.

They all bent down in worship towards the same direction, and this direction was none other than the giant rotten tree in the center of the sea of ​​clouds.

what happened?

When the adventurers looked at the deadwood.

A stunning scene appeared.

This huge and deformed dead tree began to come alive at a speed visible to the naked eye. Tens of thousands of pink and white cherry blossom branches continued to stretch out from the rotten and deformed trunk.

It took less than five seconds.

This huge piece of rotten wood was covered with flowers, emitting vigorous vitality. At the same time, a huge lightning as thick as a water tank appeared above Sakuragi.

boom!
The giant lightning struck Sakuragi directly, creating a bright light that was dazzling enough to make people dazzled, and a storm covering an area of ​​several thousand meters.

All the white wood elders were reduced to ashes in the strong light, and the red spider lilies were swept away two hundred meters by the storm.

"What a powerful force!"

"What's the matter?"

When the red spider lily was thrown to the ground and was knocked unconscious.

She suddenly felt an unprecedented powerful aura appear.

I quickly looked in the direction of the sacred cherry tree again, and the scene I saw was not only deeply imprinted in my retina, causing a violent shock, but also left an unforgettable scene.

This scene also had a direct impact on the souls of all the adventurers watching!

On the sacred cherry tree that was transformed from the rotten wood, a two-hundred-meter-long mythical creature grew out.

This is a dragon creature that has never been seen before and is beyond imagination.

mystery.

majesty.

Full of divinity.

It is the God of Origin, Sakura Dragon!
It has a silvery-white body covered with withered branches.

When it raised its head to the sky and let out a roar that shook the nine heavens, the dragon's might that was released stirred the entire sea of ​​clouds. The roar turned into thousands of golden lightning bolts that continuously fell from the dome in all directions, interweaving with each other like a lightning cage that imprisoned heaven and earth.

next moment.

The cherry dragon stretched out its one arm into the sea of ​​clouds.

Draw out a seven-branched jade sword.

It has already assumed a fighting stance.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Sakura Dragon! ]

This was the first time that the adventurers learned the name and image of the God of Origin, and they were all stunned by the creatures they saw before them.

Although he had imagined the appearance of the God of Source countless times in his mind, when the God of Source really appeared before his eyes.

The sense of oppression and shock created by its momentum, aura, and pressure far exceeded the imagination of all adventurers.

The lower half of the Sakura Dragon's body is covered with thousands of cherry blossoms blooming from the sacred cherry tree, while the branches on the dragon's body are completely withered and dead, and it only has one arm.

All these signs indicate.

Sakura Dragon is in an extremely weak state.

After all, according to the background of the story, the reason why it came to Japan from the West was because it was defeated by a powerful enemy and was seriously injured and had to escape for its life.

When the Sakura Dragon came to Japan and settled in Ashina, its immortal divinity continued to leak out from its wounds for thousands of years, turning into source water and pouring into this land.

Although Sakura Dragon created the Dragonborn Godson and the Ugami tribe to collect vitality for himself and try to recuperate.

But obviously.

This was far from enough to keep up with the rate of loss of vitality, and could only delay its demise, as it became increasingly weaker in the process.

Therefore.

The setting level of Sakura Dragon is extremely high.

The information that appeared in the adventurer's atlas at this moment showed that it was only the peak of the third level and five stars.

of course.

Level three, five-star peak.

It's shocking enough for adventurers.

After all, the strongest monster in Sky Cloud City, the largest dungeon in Blackrock Town, the Ancient Skeleton King, is only at level three, five stars in strength!

Sakura Dragon fled with serious injuries and lost his life for a thousand years, but he still had the level of a peak third-level five-star. It is hard to imagine how strong he was at his peak.

"Is this the God of Origin?"

"It's indeed a special kind of dragon!"

When Nancy Liya faced the beautiful sacred cherry tree entrenched in the crystal, holding the dreamy seven-branched jade sword, her roar could summon thousands of thunders.

She couldn't help but wonder whether the Sakura Dragon at its peak thousands of years ago, before it suffered a fatal blow, could rival the Eternal Night Dragon King who ruled the great forest.

"So beautiful, so mysterious, so powerful... Is this the final monster in the Ashina arc?"

"We have long acknowledged that Qi Laozi is a genius, but we never thought that Qi Laozi has such a terrifying existence under his command!"

"Sakura Dragon is so weak now that he's only at the peak of level three?"

"I dare you!"

"This is definitely a rare and top-grade third-level spirit!"

"If I can release the Sakura Dragon Spirit, not only will I be able to greatly strengthen my Soul Combination, but I'll also be able to dominate the world of third-level adventurers!"

"..."

When everyone was shocked by the mystery, power and oppression of Yinglong, the person involved, Higanbana, had already recovered from her trance.

how to spell?
This is the biggest problem!
Even if extremely weak or even on the verge of death.

It still has the powerful strength of the third-level five-star peak!

Higanbana knows very well how big the gap is between the second level and the third level.

The White Snake God is at the peak of the third level and two stars.

Xiao and Broken Monk are both level three and one star.

These powerful enemies had to be defeated with great effort. Each of them was a top master, but even if all of them were added together, they were not enough to threaten the mythical creature in front of them.

And this moment.

Discovery of red spider lily.

After the Sakura Dragon appeared, a violent storm was always surrounding it. With the wolf's ability, it was difficult to get close to even one or two hundred meters.

The gap is so big.

How to let people fight?
But Higanbana is not worried about the solution.

Because this has always been a secret realm created by Lord Qi Ji, and the Sakura Dragon is just a monster created by Lord Qi Ji.

Lord Qi will let adventurers challenge the Sakura Dragon, and there will definitely be hope of defeating the Sakura Dragon.

Don’t wait to think too much.

The battle officially begins.

Yinglong swung his seven swords and slashed vertically across hundreds of meters.

In an instant, an extremely huge green wind blade was released.

This wind blade is tens of meters long and its speed is comparable to that of a bullet, making it impossible to resist.

The moment the red spider lily instinctively dodged, a green torrent of energy passed by, sweeping far away and instantly splitting a deep scar in the sea of ​​clouds that was thousands of meters long.

"too exaggerated!"

"Is this really a level three monster?"

"I don't think the fourth level is that outrageous!"

When people outside the secret crystal saw the Sakura Dragon split the sea of ​​clouds for thousands of meters with one sword, everyone was dumbfounded and looked incredulous.

This is true.

The strength is beyond the standard!

Even at the peak of the third level, one cannot possess the power to command thousands of thunders or split a mountain with one sword!
Sakura Dragon's performance.

It is definitely above level four in strength!

“It’s not surprising actually.”

"Don't forget, this is its home ground."

"Indeed, this isn't the real world, but a dream-like world, so it's normal for your strength to be greatly enhanced."

"..."

While the adventurers were discussing.

The red spider lily is struggling in danger!
It’s difficult!
It’s really too difficult!
The Sakura Dragon continuously unleashed storm-like sword energy that could stretch for thousands of meters and cleave through the sea of ​​clouds. In addition, it could constantly summon golden lightning strikes from the sky and release massive tree spikes from the ground.

A three-pronged approach.

How to prevent it?

Higanbana soon made a mistake in responding and was torn apart by a hurricane sword energy and killed instantly.

Tragic death.

But very satisfied.

Because this BOSS battle is so shocking!
There was a feeling as if I was really facing and challenging the gods. I had never seen such a grand and impressive battle.

Even death.

He also died in a dignified manner.

He also died a satisfying death.

The way he died was a grand funeral.

Even make other adventurers envious.

Nancy Liya: "What should we do? The power gap between the two sides is too huge, they are almost not on the same level!"

Feng Zhongmian: "There must be a way!"

Sanzhu commented, "This battle is different from any of the previous ones. I don't think it's possible for the wolf to threaten the Sakura Dragon with its abilities."

"Don't make threats."

“It’s almost impossible to even get close.”

Mingyue Zhaoxue asked, "Old man, what do you think? If it were you, how would you fight this battle?"

Baihe Jushi stroked his beard and said, "I agree with Lao Zhu. Don't expect to use the power of a mere mortal ninja to fight against such a mythical creature."

Higanbana immediately understood: "You mean... to borrow strength?"

Baihe Jushi nodded: "Well, I think the only thing that can defeat a god is the power of a god. Let's use thunder to knock back the thunder of Yinglong and give it a try!"

A few minutes later.

Challenge again.

The red spider lily appeared directly in the cave of origin, clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly, and once again entered the Sakura Dragon Fairyland.

The first stage is still the old man of white wood.

This stage is very simple and is cleared up quickly.

The Sakura Dragon descends again.

The battle officially begins.

The red spider lily no longer tries to get close.

Instead, he was looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

The Sakura Dragon has three powers. The first is the huge wind-attribute sword energy, the second is the wood-attribute tree thorns, and the third is to summon golden thunder.

It is impossible for the adventurer to block the sword energy.

So make sure to dodge every attack.

Any slow reaction or misstep can result in death, but tree spikes and golden lightning, while dangerous, can be used to your advantage.

Direct thunder counterattack will not work!

The key point of the secret technique of anti-lightning is to use special techniques to briefly stop or pull the lightning and then bounce it out.

Therefore, when using Lightning Counter, especially when facing lightning attacks from opponents whose strength and rank are obviously higher than yours, it is best not to let your feet and body touch the ground or other objects, otherwise the lightning will be conducted faster and it will be difficult to stop or pull it successfully.

In other words.

When using lightning counter.

The more open space there is, the better the effect.

The red spider lily seized the opportunity, released the hook rope, grabbed a tree thorn, flew to a branch several feet high, and jumped into the air.

Almost at the same time, a bolt of lightning formed above her head and struck her at an extremely fast speed.

"It's now!"

Higanbana seized the opportunity and swung her long sword.

In an instant, I felt a tremendous force pressing down on me.

It’s so strong! This power is incomparable to the lightning summoned by Ashina Genichirō, just like the distance between a stream and a river.

The opportunity only lasts a moment!
"kill!"

Higanbana swung her sword the moment she was struck by lightning.

The lightning turned into a lightning spear that tore through the storm and fell on the Sakura Dragon.

boom!
A loud bang!
A wound appeared on Yinglong's body.

"Success!"

"So handsome!"

The adventurers were overjoyed!

Although it only succeeded once, it at least proves that there is nothing wrong with this idea!

Withstand, control, and rebound the Thunder!
The performance effect of this combat mechanism was so good that it opened the eyes of all the adventurers present. They never thought that the secret realm could be made like this!
however.

Don't be happy too soon.

When the red spider lily tried to shoot out the divine thunder for the second time, there was an error of a few tenths of a second in its timing. In the end, not only did it fail to catch the lightning, but it was electrocuted into charcoal on the spot.

"pity!"

“This time it failed!”

"It doesn't matter. At least it proves that my idea is correct. I can definitely defeat the Sakura Dragon!"

"..."

When adventurers are all paying attention to this battle.

Qi Ji also kept a close eye on the situation behind the scenes.

This boss battle with Sakura Dragon is a purely mechanical battle in the original work. Although it is the best-performing battle in the entire Sekiro, it is also almost one of the simplest boss battles.

however.

In the secret place.

It’s not that simple.

Adventurers must use lightning to hurt the Sakura Dragon. Whether it is catching the lightning or deflecting the lightning, it is extremely difficult and the failure rate is very high.

In addition, one has to face complex battle situations. If one fails to grasp the timing, one may not only be struck by lightning and turned into charcoal, but also be instantly torn into pieces by sword energy.

Not very good.

Not enough proficiency.

It's absolutely impossible to pass the Sakura Dragon!

The following performance of the red spider lily is an example.

She died ten times in a row at Yinglong's hands, either being electrocuted, struck to death, or stabbed to death twice.

Despite being abused repeatedly.

But every battle contributed to a very grand and shocking scene.

Therefore, not only do adventurers never get tired of watching it, but even the red spider lily itself becomes more and more courageous and addicted to it.

at last.

The thirteenth challenge.

Both Higanbana's operation and luck were perfect. She successfully counterattacked seven times and seriously injured Yinglong.

When you feel threatened.

Yinglong was completely furious.

Not only did it unleash a round of crazy slashing and hacking that was several times more powerful, it also released a storm surrounding its body, instantly blowing the red spider lily hundreds of meters into the sky.

at the same time.

The extreme anger of the Sakura Dragon turned into an extremely powerful lightning bolt, which was as thick as a water tank and far more powerful than any previous one.

However, the condensation speed is slightly slower.

At this moment, the red spider lily is hundreds of meters high in the air, with a panoramic view of the entire sea of ​​clouds and battlefield.

She realized.

Next is the only chance!
If you can't complete this attack.

Even if you don't get electrocuted or struck to death, you will die if you fall from such a height!
"Thunder comes!"

The red spider lily was high up and raised its long sword to catch the giant falling lightning at the moment it bloomed. Perhaps because it was at a high enough height, even the power of this lightning was far beyond imagination.

But she still caught it!

The outcome of this battle!

It's all in this one strike!
The red spider lily is wrapped in thousands of lightning bolts.

It fell as fast as a falling meteor.

It swooped down towards the Sakura Dragon from a height of three or four hundred meters.

The Sakura Dragon was obviously aware of the threat, but after venting his anger, he was now in a weak state.

It could only use all its strength to swing out the last huge green sword energy.

Face this blow.

The red spider lily is inevitable.

Because you can't move in mid-air.

She could only face the challenge head-on, so at the moment the sword energy hit, she swung out a knife with both hands that was wrapped in thousands of feet of thunder.

next moment.

All the thunder and lightning.

All of them bloom along the blade.

The golden lightning and the green wind blade collided in the air.

The aftermath of the two energies stirred up countless clouds and mist, shaking the heaven and earth.

Finally, the golden lightning completely tore apart and disintegrated the wind blade, and then hit the body of the Sakura Dragon.

The power of this attack was beyond imagination.

The Sakura Dragon was already seriously injured and dying, and now he let out a shrill wail, and finally completely lost the strength to fight.

The huge dragon's body collapsed, its proud head drooped, and all the lightning and storms stopped at this moment.

The battle is over!

The outcome is decided!

The entire secret hall fell into silence for a few seconds, and then erupted into a thunderous shout and cheers.

"Success? It really succeeded!"

"I can't believe my eyes, this battle is too exaggerated!"

"To kill a mythical creature with a mortal body is unbelievable if you don't see it with your own eyes!"

"That last knife is awesome!"

"This is the most exciting, thrilling and passionate battle I have ever seen!"

"Boss Higanbana is awesome!"

"Miracle City is awesome!"

"Old thief Qi is awesome!"

"..."

Higanbana successfully defeated Yinglong, and she was stunned for several minutes before she believed that all this was really happening.

To avoid complications.

I dare not be careless at all.

Walk up to Yinglong as soon as possible.

She walked along the seven jade swords hanging on the ground as a bridge to the huge dragon head.

Pull out the Undead Sword.

Pierce the tear glands of the cherry dragon.

Pieces of crystals like cherry petals immediately seeped out and were collected by Higanbana in the first place.

(PS: Please vote. The Ashina chapter will have one or two chapters at most to wrap up the game content. The rest will be about influence and fermentation. This book plans to have one or two detailed secret realms and several relatively brief secret realms in each stage. Although Sekiro is the only main secret realm in this stage, looking back, I did write too much. I will control the maximum length of a single game later. After all, there is really too much to write about in this book...)
