Survive with the beautiful girl

It was as if someone passed by here and clashed with it, and a fierce battle broke out in the cathedral.

Hayasaka Ai used the sniper rifle's lens to observe the wounds on the body, and stared at the bow and arrow with some surprise, confirming it repeatedly.

"Miss Kaguya should have been here before. Look at the flame wounds on the monsters. They are probably left by Kasumigaoka using her ninjutsu."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino leaned over and watched with Hayasaka Ai, a look of genuine happiness on her face.

Hayasaka Ai generously handed the sniper rifle to her and Kato Megumi, and continued to explore forward. Not long after, she turned back.

“There is an elevator in front. According to the experimental records, below is the place where the Healing Church houses the ancient gods, which is called the ‘Altar of Despair’.

But why this name?"

Hayasaka Ai, who had unknowingly become the person who made fun of her in the team, looked at her companions. Yukinoshita Yukino said nothing. After returning the sniper rifle to Hayasaka Ai, she directly pulled the mechanism of the elevator next to her.

“Perhaps it is to commemorate that Ibitas?

I feel like there's something dangerous down there, Xueno, do you need to take a break?"

Kato Megumi looked at Yukinoshita Yukino who suddenly became anxious and asked her with some concern.

There seemed to be something wrong with the time in this world. They had come all the way from Yharnam to the upper echelons of the church. Logically, a lot of time should have passed, but when they looked outside from the Moonlight Garden, the sky was still dark and gloomy...

The whole world seemed to be shrouded in darkness, completely trapped in this crazy night of hunting.

"No, I want to try to contact the ancient god with Lucario next...

From the church's research records, this ancient god seemed to be able to communicate.

I want to see if I can get something useful out of it.”

If we can’t communicate, then just cut it off, right?

The girls looked at each other tacitly, because in their dream they had even killed the descendant of the ancient god who attacked like a mad dog, and now there were three of them who could team up together.

Hunting gods is not impossible if you are careful.

When the girls thought of the medicine that Liucheng prepared for them, they felt more at ease and confident.

Pushing open the heavy iron door in front of me, I saw the empty underground space surrounded by dilapidated, deserted, collapsed and messy building ruins.

The hazy moonlight scattered sparsely along the ceiling, reflecting the shallow layer of groundwater accumulated in the depressions on the ground.

An indescribable huge black and gray monster was kneeling silently in the water with its back to them, a pair of huge wings drooping low, and the thick tentacles extending from its body stretched out of the water, dancing from time to time.

Behind Him, on the low altar was placed the corpse of a gigantic spider.

The girls couldn't help but hold their breath as they stared at this ancient god who let his hair hang down like Sadako.

Lucario felt His waveguide and growled in uneasiness.

The strange-looking ancient god sensed that he was being spied on, and slowly moved his body to face Yukinoshita Yukino and the others.

When the girls looked at the ancient god's head that was split in the middle and the dark eyeballs on both sides of the densely packed and slowly moving mouthparts, their scalps went numb and they realized that this was his head.

Chapter 282: Hunting Gods

Hayasaka Ai poked Yukinoshita Yukino in the lower back, hinting whether she should take direct action or really communicate face to face with the ancient god Ibitas.

Yukinoshita Yukino's face looked a little ugly. The ancient god in front of her had nothing to do with gods at all. Instead, it looked like a creature from an alien planet.

Her head was covered with coral-like tissue, and densely packed blood-red eyeballs could be vaguely seen in the cracked brain in the middle. It was so creepy that she looked like a monster from Lovecraft's works.

Lucario beside Yukino let out an irritable cry. It was hard for him to understand the ancient god Ibitas's obscure emotions and sea-like cognition. Invisible pressure accumulated in Lucario's heart, and the wave missile condensed by his spirit was ready to be launched in his hand.

Yukinoshita Yukino stretched out her hand and pressed it on Lucario, releasing her own waveguide to bear it together with it.

She tried to show kindness to this silent ancient god, but all she got was silence.

Yukino changed her mind and asked about the contact between "Him" and the Healing Church.

After an obscure and difficult communication, Yukino roughly understood that this ancient god from the universe was summoned by the "Choir", a high-level organization of the Healing Church, using a special ritual.

Through communication He granted the knowledge and wisdom that the "choir" requested, and in return the choir would fulfill those occasional "requests" for Him.

Yukinoshita Yukino tried to ask Him about Kos and other ancient gods, but unexpectedly, doing so seemed to trigger His anger.

Ibitas waved his greasy and disgusting tentacles. Under his abnormally muscular body, the thickest and toughest tentacles supported the damp and cold ground and quickly squirmed towards the girls.

Hayasaka Ai aimed her gun at Ibista's wings that looked like they were supported by tentacles. The bullet, whose power was enhanced by magic, hit his membrane wings accurately, splashing only some indescribable juice on his tough and elastic skin.

So hard?

After realizing that guns had little effect on the ancient god, Hayasaka Ai immediately took out the syringe filled with scarlet liquid and injected the medicine into her own vein.

The evolution potion flowed to every corner of her body along with the blood, and drastic physical changes occurred rapidly on her body. The power seemed to be a tangible torrent that extended along the blood vessels to the ends of Hayasaka Ai's limbs.

The calm blue pupils turned golden at this moment, and the stern and cold eyes carried an incomparable powerful momentum as they slashed straight at the ancient god. A sharp and thin scalpel appeared in her hand, and with every cut made by Hayasaka Ai, the power of absolute cutting will caused the bloated and tough gray-white body of Ibitas to begin to break into pieces.

Word Spirit. Judgment!

Hayasaka Ai chanted in a low voice an obscure and profound language, and sounds that were absolutely incomprehensible to humans came out of her throat.

As magic power surged through Hayasaka Ai's body, the supreme will from the depths of her soul emerged above her head, materializing into a clearly visible half-body image of the girl, holding a cutting knife high.

The girl tried to use her own words to directly kill the huge monster in front of her.

The surging aura of death around Hayasaka Ai and her own instinct for danger warning prompted Yukinoshita Yukino and Kato Megumi to stay away from their extremely anxious companions.

The ancient god Ibitas flapped her huge wings nervously, trying to fly away from the attack range of Hayasaka Ai's word spirit.

Suddenly, the girl's will manifested into a huge cutting knife, which slashed at the deformed and bloated monster. "Pests! They should be completely eliminated!"

The ugly and evil wings made of tentacles of the fleeing monster were cut off directly by the girl's extremely sharp "cut" will.

The invisible cold field covered the entire Altar of Despair. Wild and wildly growing ice blades rose from the turbid water and cut towards Ibista's heavy body that was as huge as a mountain and fell crookedly.

As if feeling the pain of being cut open on all sides of her body, Ibitas let out a terrible scream, and suddenly opened her mouth to spray a stream of blood-red smelly liquid towards the girls.

This thing looked bad at first glance. After releasing the Word Spirit, Hayasaka Ai, who was a little exhausted, was pulled sideways by Kato Megumi and rolled to avoid it.

Yukino transformed her staff into a whip and lashed at the ancient god's head from the other side, attracting his attention.

Ibitas turned her head and pounced on Yukinoshita Yukino who kept harassing her. She was extremely fast, and her tough and smooth skin was cut by the sharp and dense ice blades created by Hayasaka Ai.

His speed slowed down slightly, and his body movements became unsteady and difficult to maintain balance because one of his wings was cut off.

The sticky juice flowing from His cut wounds mixed with the crushed ice blades and the muddy groundwater, swirling wildly.

The wave missiles condensed in Lucario's hands bombarded Ibitas, trying to prevent her from approaching Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yukino pressed the mechanism to retract the whip into a cane, and released the other three Pokémon from the Poké Ball.

The newly joined Dragonite, Milotic, and Panda just appeared in the Poké Ball. Looking at the gray-white monster in front of them, they are ready to try.

Without waiting for Yukino's orders, the Pokémons acted spontaneously, unleashing their own skills in coordination with the current situation.

Ibitas let out intermittent, shrill screams of anger, and suddenly raised her upper body, using her two thick, tentacle-like forelimbs to lash out at the elves blocking her way.

He used his huge, ugly head and upper body to smash down towards Yukinoshita Yukino's position.

Perhaps his anger clouded his reason, and the ancient god chose the most brutal and brutal way to eliminate the ants in front of him.

Yukinoshita Yukino released all the strength in her body, and used the airflow generated when Ibitas pounced on her to dodge lightly and nimbly at the critical moment.

Everything happening before her eyes seemed like a slowed-down film, transformed into frames of a picture scroll. Yukinoshita Yukino, who was familiar with the state shared by Kato Megumi with her, started her counterattack synchronously.

She pointed her cane at Ibitas's forehead and stabbed it hard. At the same time, Kato Megumi, who had hidden beside the monster at some point, held two knives and chopped at Ibitas's two dark and bright eyeballs.

The two girls walked away from Ibitas with ease. The altar behind the ancient god with the spider corpses on it seemed to sense the mysterious power of time released by the words and began to resonate in sync.

Feeling this power, Ibitas felt like she had met a savior, and she dragged her broken body towards the altar regardless of anything.

The turbid stagnant water mixed with broken ice cubes condensed together under Hayasaka Ai's control and turned into a sharp ice spear carrying the breath of death.

The tyranny and brutality penetrated from the body of this ancient god, whose life was like a candle in the wind. The cold will of death took away his tenacious and vigorous vitality bit by bit.

Chapter 283: Gathering Girls

Kato Megumi supported Hayasaka Ai, whose face was as pale as paper, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you still so tired after using the evolution potion?"

“His vitality is very strong...

The Word Spirit I released with all my strength could only cause cutting damage to Him, instead of killing His cells and causing irreparable damage like in the test in Paradise...

Let’s not talk about that for now. What’s the matter with that altar?

Why is there a resonance reaction when you release the Word Spirit?"

Hayasaka Ai leaned on Kato Megumi and felt relieved when she saw the prompt in Evolution Paradise about the completion of the mission.

At this moment, the girl was not in a hurry to confirm the rewards given by the Evolution Paradise, but looked at Yukinoshita Yukino who was squatting in front of the altar and studying the spider corpse with her Pokémon.

Kato Megumi helped Hayasaka Ai sit down next to the altar. She said to Yukinoshita Yukino who was thinking, "This altar seems to be related to time. Let me give it a try."

As the girl's eyes lit up with a light like molten gold, the realm of Word Spirit and Time Zero enveloped this mysterious altar.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked back at the ancient god Ibitas who was trying desperately to come here before her death, and suddenly a bold guess came to her mind.

"Will this altar speed up her recovery?"

Yukino tied up her long hair that had fallen from her hunter hat and explained her guess to Kato Megumi who was studying her.

"Do not.

The power of this altar is more like turning back the time of certain items...

Ibitas may have wanted to arrive here before she died, to reverse herself from the state of death to life.

And this power has nothing to do with the altar below, this special ability to go back in time...

It should be an instinctive reaction from the spider corpse~"

Kato Megumi raised her hand and poked the big spider. Behind the altar, the collapsed and broken beams made the spider in front of her look like it was crushed to death when the house collapsed.

“If it can control time, it can at least be considered an ancient god, right?

Being crushed to death by a falling pillar like this, isn't that too weak?"

Hayasaka Ai, who was sitting nearby to rest, complained out loud. She looked behind the spider's head, as if thinking about something.
