I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

.................................................. ..................

The battle continued, but the Four Gods changed their tactics.

Xiao went to keep Yuhaka occupied, while the others dealt with Claire and the others, and Lin Fu prepared the ritual Kagura.

Xiao swung his fist at Yuhaka, while Yuhaka continued to swing his Baladion sword at Xiao.

"!"

When Xiao saw Yuhaka slashing at him with the Baradion sword, he immediately became wary, as he was well aware of the sword's abilities.

During the opening ceremony of the previous Elf Sword Dance Festival, Xiao Ke saw a drunk (pretending) Yuhaka wielding the Baradion sword, tearing off the clothes of a large group of priestesses and other elf warriors (of course, their panties were left untouched).

Xiao didn't want her clothes to be ripped off, after all, Xiao didn't have that kind of shameless hobby.

However, Xiao also noticed a detail: Yuhaka's swordsmanship was just wild and uncontrolled, not at all like the swordsmanship of the Twilight Witch as described in the intelligence report.

This made Xiao suspect that Yuhaka was deliberately holding back his strength, which made Xiao a little unhappy.

"Hey, I said."

"OwO?"

Xiao looked at the somewhat silly-looking Yuhaka and said:

"You...you didn't actually use your full strength, did you?"

No, oh no.

Upon hearing Xiao's question, Yuhaka answered truthfully. Xiao broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Yuhaka's answer, as he had not expected Yuhaka to answer him so truthfully.

However, this also made Xiao reveal a slightly mischievous smile as he said:

"So, how about using 'just a tiny bit' of your real strength?"

Upon hearing Xiao's words, Yuhaka paused for a moment before nodding. Then, before Xiao could react, Yuhaka put away the Baladion Sword and the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Seeing Yuhaka put away the Elf Magic Armor left Xiaoya stunned, as he couldn't understand why Yuhaka would suddenly put it away.

Then, Xiao saw a strange "hole" suddenly appear next to Yuhaka, and then Yuhaka reached into the hole and took out a long sword that looked like it was made of gold.

Xiao looked at the golden sword in Yuhaka's hand with a puzzled expression. Judging from the style of the sword, Xiao could clearly see that it was an Eastern-style weapon from their Kuna Empire. Xiao was immediately puzzled as to why Yuhaka would take out a sword with their national style. This made Xiao very curious.

Then, under Xiao's curious gaze, the golden sword in Yuhaka's hand transformed into a beam of light and wrapped around Yuhaka's hand, turning into an oriental-style gauntlet.

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Ye was immediately struck by a thought and felt deeply shocked.

The next scene unfolded exactly as Xiao had predicted. Yuhaka struck a pose reminiscent of the martial arts of the Kuna Empire and addressed Xiao:

"Youyou, the successor of the Taixu Sword Qi, please enlighten me!"

"That's clearly boxing!!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Xiao couldn't help but retort, "Who wears boxing gloves and claims to use swordsmanship?!"

There's a limit to how much nonsense you can spout!

(Yasashi Nanami and Yasashi Nanami both gave a thumbs-down.)

In response to Xiao's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), Youhaka tilted his head with an "OwO?" expression.

Chapter 747 [Yohaka and the Others Gain the Upper Hand]

While Yuhaka was puzzled, Esther, inside Yuhaka's contract space, looked completely bewildered. Esther was bewildered by the golden sword in Yuhaka's hand.

The golden sword in Yhaka's hand is the Key of Domination used by Ji Lin, but this one is a replica.

At first, Esther thought that some other flashy swordsman had bewitched his master, but when she saw the Key of Domination turn into a gauntlet, Esther had an OxO expression on her face. Obviously, Esther did not expect that this flashy swordsman, like the one named Baradion, could transform into other weapons.

Esther couldn't help but wonder if she was too outdated, only able to transform into swords and not into anything else.

This made Esther a little suspicious of Jian Sheng.

...The scene returns to Yuhaka and Xiao...

After taking out his boxing gloves, Yuhaka launched a fierce attack on Xiao, leaving Xiao somewhat dumbfounded.

She was supposed to be the Twilight Witch's apprentice, and she was supposed to only use swordsmanship?

Why is my opponent's fighting style even better than mine?

Xiao, who was being beaten so badly he was questioning his existence, was completely bewildered. Meanwhile, Yuhaka kept unleashing the Taixu Sword Qi that Ji Lin had taught him, throwing various Ora Ora punches and Muda Muda kicks at Xiao.

While Yuhaka was dominating Xiao, Claire and her group also joined in the fight with Law and his group.

Claire swung her Flame Whip at Baiya, who rolled to the side and then charged at Claire. Baiya was holding a shield-like elven armor, which had excellent defensive capabilities.

However, the disadvantage is also very obvious, namely the lack of attack methods. But Baiya also learned the [Assassination Fist] to make up for her lack of attack power.

However, when facing Claire, Baiya seemed a bit overwhelmed. She found it difficult to defend against the whip-type elven magical armor. She could defend against elven magical armor like swords quite well, but soft weapons like whips were not an option, since whip attacks were not straightforward.

If it's just the tip of the whip, that's fine, but if it's the middle of the whip... the tip of the whip will hit your face.

However, the whip is a weapon with a clear limitation: it is not good for close-range combat. Right now, Baiya is trying to get close to Claire and deliver a punch.

After dodging a whip attack, Baiya seized the opportunity and charged towards Claire, charging up to deliver a punch. Just then, Baiya suddenly saw Claire's flaming whip disappear and Claire pull out a bottle.

Upon seeing this, Byakuya's mind raced, trying to figure out what Claire was holding. However, Byakuya's first reaction was to hold her own shield in front of her.

When Claire saw Baiya holding her shield in front of her, Claire grinned mischievously. Then, Claire threw the bottle at Baiya, which shattered upon impact with her shield, scattering the liquid inside.

Bai Ya looked puzzled when she saw the liquid, but after smelling its somewhat pungent odor, she turned pale and exclaimed:

"This is... oil?!"

At this moment, Claire raised her hand, making a gun-like gesture. Immediately, a flame shot out from Claire's index finger and hit Baiya's shield, which was stained with what appeared to be oil. The flame exploded, and the impact of the explosion sent Baiya flying. After rolling a few times on the ground, Baiya quickly stood up. She looked a bit disheveled, with mud on her clothes and even her messy hair.

"Bai Ya!"

Seeing Bai Ya being blasted away, Lao also looked nervous. At that moment, several frost arrows flew towards Lao. Lao heard the sound of air being cut and quickly swung his Azure Dragon Blade to smash the frost arrows into pieces.

Looking at Linslet holding the ice bow not far from him, Lao felt extremely annoyed. At first, Lao had Rinne and Hakuya entangle the others, while he chose to deal with Linslet in order to eliminate the ranged attacker. However, to Lao's surprise, the archer also seemed to be quite adept in melee combat.

Adding to the fact that his opponent was as slippery as an eel, Lao felt as if he was the one being restrained.

"Excuse me~ Don't take your eyes off me now, or I can't guarantee the next arrow won't pierce your chest~"

Upon hearing Linslett's words, Law gritted his teeth, but he quickly calmed down, realizing he couldn't let his opponent's words cloud his judgment.

When Linslet saw that Law had regained his composure, she raised an eyebrow but said nothing, focusing on Law's battle.

Meanwhile, the battle between Rinne and Alice was also very intense. Rinne was fighting Alice with a staff-shaped fairy magic outfit. Originally, Rinne was supposed to fight Claire, but suddenly Claire and Alice switched positions and fought Rinne and Hakua respectively.

This rendered Rinne and Hakua's tactics useless, because Rinne's fairy armor has the ability to absorb fire, which is perfect for countering Claire, while Hakua's shield can effectively defend against Alice's attacks, and if the spear gets close, it will be difficult to exert its full strength.

But how could Claire not have thought of these things? When Claire saw Baiya conjure up a shield, Claire had an idea. She then gave Alice a wink, and Alice noticed Claire's hint and understood what was going on.

Rinne knew from the name that the other party was a fire-attribute spirit user, and Claire would never fight a spirit user of the same attribute unless absolutely necessary.

Anna, observing from afar and watching the battle in the distance, echoed Mira's words:

"Well, it seems that Master and the others have gained the upper hand in the battle. Let's go to other places to scout out for any enemies."

Mira nodded in understanding upon hearing Anna's words.

Chapter 748 [Please do not stand behind the thrusters]

While Yuhaka and the others were fighting, Fiana, who was in the rear, was performing a ritual Kagura.

"—O spirits that roam the earth, answer my call."

As the former successor priestess, Fiana effortlessly and without hesitation performed a magnificent dance, while simultaneously chanting an Elvish incantation of offering.

"I am the one who prays for your protection, I am the one who praises your power."

Because Claire and the others managed to stop Xiao and the others, Fiana was able to play the ritual music very smoothly. Soon, Fiana felt her body suddenly become lighter, and she immediately realized that her ritual music had been successful.

A shimmering magic array suddenly unfolded beneath Fiana's feet.

"The fourth form of the ritual Kagura – [Hymn of Glory]!"

.......................................................................

On Yhaka's side, Yhaka swung his fist straight at Xiao, who didn't dare to take Yhaka's punch head-on, and instead chose to move aside.

"Roar of the King's Fang!"

As Xiao's elven magic armor [Divine Tiger Fang] unleashed a powerful storm that generated a shockwave, the intense impact blew the light-weight Yuhaka away. However, after Yuhaka rolled in the air, he stood firmly on the ground. Seeing Yuhaka still looking so energetic made Xiao's eyes twitch involuntarily.

To be honest, seeing Yhaka still looking energetic despite his "full-force" performance just now, Xiao couldn't help but wonder if Yhaka had inexhaustible stamina!?

This caused Xiao's plan to exhaust Yuhaka's stamina to fail. At this moment, suddenly, shimmering magic arrays appeared on the ground around them. Everyone who saw this was stunned. The countless magic arrays emitting bluish-white light under Claire's feet made Claire and the others feel an expanding divine power flowing into their bodies from the earth's veins, filling their entire bodies with power.

Seeing this, Claire understood that Fiana's ritual Kagura was complete, and now was a great opportunity to defeat the Four Gods Squad.

"Excellent! Let's seize this opportunity and take them down in one fell swoop!"

Hearing Claire's words, Alice and the others present nodded. However, Claire also noticed that Baiya and the others did not look anxious, but instead had a malicious smile on their faces, which made Claire feel that something bad was about to happen.

"As expected of the famous former candidate for the Elf Princess, the Priestess is able to summon such powerful energy. However, she is still far inferior to Lady Lin Fu."

Just as Xiao said, the magic square that was originally flashing on the ground was being rewritten at an astonishing speed, as if ink had been dripped onto a blank sheet of paper.

Claire, noticing this, exclaimed in surprise:

"What, what's going on?!"

"Isn't it obvious? Rewriting ritual magic with ritual magic! Our Lady Linfu has been waiting for your priestess to complete the ritual dance!"

"It's like how the ritual magic that originally enhanced you becomes the ritual magic that enhances our Four Gods, like this—"

As he spoke, Xiao also reached out to try to catch Yuhaka's swinging fist, and then... he was knocked away by Yuhaka.

After being sent flying, Xiao rolled around on the ground a few times before getting up looking disheveled. He was completely bewildered; hadn't he been strengthened? And hadn't his opponent been weakened?

Looking completely bewildered, Xiao glanced at Lin Fu, who was playing music behind her, as if asking what was going on. Seeing Xiao's confused expression, Lin Fu looked at Xiao with a flustered expression and said:

"This concubine has no idea what happened! I successfully rewrote the ritual magic!"

"what?"

Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard Lin Fu's words.

On the other hand, just as Lin Fu had said, the ritual magic rewriting Lin Fu had performed had succeeded. Claire and the others could clearly feel that their strength and speed had decreased. Not only that, the divine power that was originally filling their bodies was constantly dissipating, and the elemental power of the elven magic armor in their hands was also weakened considerably.

Furthermore, due to the alteration of Fiana's ritual Kagura, not only did the ritual magic performed by Fiana become ineffective, but the power of the Four Gods also increased, causing Claire and the others, who had just gained the upper hand, to instantly fall into a suppressed situation.

"What is this?! Can such a messy and chaotic thing really be done?!"
