Brave World, I report to the police station in red at the beginning

After just a glance, he appeared beside Li Mengyu, and his dark blue fingertips pressed against Li Mengyu's instant reaction, ready to pierce the tip of the sword into his abdomen.

His finger was pierced by the tip of the sword, but he didn't seem to care at all.

"How else can I explain the heavy smell of blood on you that almost suffocated me? You—killed a lot of people, right?"

Chapter 33: Shuten-doji and the Black Armor of Vengeance

"Master Brave will definitely find a way, don't worry!"

"Earthquakes and tsunamis are just normal phenomena, stay calm!"

"Believe in the brave, believe in the kingdom."

"It hurts so much... The power of the emblem in my body is being drained away. Please save me... Hero..."

"It's okay if it's just you... Please stay alive... Dream..."

"Only at this moment can I muster up the courage. Actually, I have always been to you..."

After the man said, "You smell strongly of blood," the memories that had been forcibly shelved deep in my mind suddenly became active.

"What are you hiding?"

As that guy maintained a pleasant smile, Li Mengyu's face gradually lost all expression.

Suddenly he crossed his arm and threw a punch.

"Roar."

The man stepped back, still maintaining that annoying look.

"If you don't want your disgusting claws chopped off, just shut up."

"Hey, are you ordering me around? So... the young people nowadays..."

He dodged a sword that was aimed at his head. The blade scratched his cheek, leaving a faint line of blood, but it disappeared when he wiped it with his finger.

"If you keep talking nonsense, your head will be the next thing to go."

"…Do you want to chop off my head?"

The man stroked the scars on his neck and head, and his expression darkened.

"If you can do it, try it!"

The man drank the soju in his hand, and the bottle fell to the ground and broke.

The flesh and blood all over the body, except the head, was expanding rapidly.

The clothes on the upper body tore apart instantly, and as for the lower body, only a few strips of cloth covering the private parts remained.

The bloated body that had expanded to three or four meters in height, coupled with a handsome face, looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

If a health bar appears below the perspective at this moment, it would give one an inexplicable sense of entering the battle stage after the cutscene during a boss battle.

"All those who dared to speak nonsense to me, Master Shuten-doji, are dead."

"Shuten-doji? What is that?"

For Li Mengyu, this name is actually not something familiar. After all, he doesn’t know much about Japanese mythology... or he is just beginning to learn about it, and it hasn’t even started yet.

But for Nogi Wakaba and the others, this is not the case at all. Shuten-doji is a famous monster and leader of the demon clan in the Heian period in Japanese legend. He is also the most well-known monster in the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons".

He is a monster with the appearance of a handsome boy.

Legend has it that he specialized in seducing virgins, and after seducing them, he would cut off their heads and eat them. Because he loved drinking, he was called Shuten-doji.

Shuten-doji, who lived on Mt. Oe in Tamba Province, gathered a group of evil spirits. They did all kinds of evil: they secretly built an iron palace, sneaked into the homes of wealthy people at night to steal treasures, and abducted women and children to eat them.

He was eventually killed in the "Battle of Shuten-doji" by the famous Heian period general Minamoto no Raikou who used the famous sword Dojikiri Yasutuna.

If the guy in front of him is really Shuten-doji, then the legend may not be credible.

After all, according to the legend, this guy was dead, but now he appeared in front of Li Mengyu and others alive and well.

"Whatever it is... its true form is really ugly!"

"The weak are always good at talking!"

A fist that was almost bigger than Li Mengyu hit Li Mengyu hard.

Li Mengyu neither dodged nor avoided, and no one knew what was going on. He even inserted the sword in front of his body, apparently wanting to fight with Shuten-doji.

It’s just that the size difference is so huge that it seems... the ending was doomed from the beginning.

But in fact, the direction of things was beyond everyone's expectations.

Stalemate! It's actually a stalemate!

It was obvious that the size of the fists was completely different, but Li Mengyu still blocked it.

The only difference from the beginning was that Li Mengyu's hand, which was supposed to be empty, now had a black gauntlet mixed with silver-white fur.

Soon, the arms, shoulders, chest, thighs, ankles and feet were all covered with the same style of black armor.

-

In the legend of another world, the holy sword is paired with another exclusive equipment of the brave, the holy armor.

It is similar to a holy sword that has divine attributes and can cut through anything it possesses.

The holy armor also carries the blessing of the world. It is the strongest armor that can neutralize 99% of the attack power. At the same time, the brave who wears this armor will be immune to all abnormal conditions.

According to the description of the appearance from the remaining allusions, it was a silver-white armor filled with a sacred aura.

-

Although Li Mengyu looked no different from usual on the surface, the anger in her heart had been ignited by Shuten-doji from the very beginning.

Even this set of armor was taken out.

During the stalemate, Li Mengyu's body slowly retreated, as if she had been defeated in the wrestling.

But that was not the case. Bright red blood kept dripping from the narrow gaps between the armors.

If the sword in his hand is an ominous sword, then the armor he is wearing now is also an ominous armor.

No... maybe it would be more appropriate to call it the Armor of Vengeance.

While blood was dripping from Li Mengyu's body, many wounds appeared on Shuten-doji's body unexpectedly.

Smelly blood was also flowing from the wounds, and the powerful self-healing ability that should have worked was useless against these wounds.

When Li Mengyu and Shuten-doji's fists collided, his arm made a crisp "click" sound, and at the same time, Shuten-doji's huge fist was twisted into a knot by an unknown force.

"what have you done!"

"I didn't do anything... I was just competing with you... to see who would die first."

At this time, a smile appeared on Li Mengyu's face.

"I am still very confident in my own vitality!"

He pulled out the sword from the ground and slashed it at Shuten-doji's huge wrist, which was probably already disabled.

While cutting off a large piece of flesh, his arm also exploded, leaving a bloody mess.

That crazy look, in Shuten-doji's eyes, was like seeing a woman with a psychological trauma, that person was also a lunatic.

A madman who could bring him the fear of death.

An emblem like a black hole spiral appeared behind Li Mengyu.

The power of the emblem was far greater than any time Li Mengyu had used it before, and it soared into the sky.

It was as if it wanted to destroy everything in front of it.

But before the attack was launched, the entire earth suddenly shook violently.

Earthquakes are a special feature of this place.

The circuit for constructing the ritual was suddenly interrupted, and the terrifying power disappeared from Li Mengyu.

The tremors became stronger and stronger, and the ground beneath our feet began to crack.

"You... saved a life."

Shuten-doji suddenly realized something, and after saying something harsh, he disappeared in front of them.

It was definitely not because he felt threatened or because he had a desire to survive and didn't want to die again that drove him to leave. Absolutely not.

He was abducted to another world to be a hero at the age of 16. It took him three years to save the other world. Although it was not his original intention, the destruction of that world was directly related to him (I can't tell you now). All the bonds that he had spent a long time building and the friends he believed in were all broken.

After returning to the original world, the only relatives he had left had all passed away. It seemed that... an accident happened on the way to find him.

From then on, he was in a daze all day long, and after the destruction of that world, all the equipment that originally carried a sacred aura turned into cursed equipment.

A sacred armor that is so hard that it can withstand any attack and absorb 99% of the opponent's attack power.

It becomes a revenge armor that is damaging itself all the time, but at the same time, the damage will be synchronized to the opponent's body in the form of 200%, but at the same time, the damage suffered by the opponent will also be returned in the form of 50%.

A holy sword that can help the user increase the release and power of most emblem magic and is capable of cutting through everything, and is surrounded by a sacred light for a long time.

It became a cursed sword wrapped in a cursed aura, no longer able to cut off everything, but it could make the damaged wounds irreparable and could only amplify the aura of the abyss.

There is a strange connection between the sword and the armor, and when encountering a special existence, there is a possibility of losing control.

Because of what happened in the past, except for the power of a certain attribute that can be fully exerted, the upper limit of elemental magic in Li Mengyu's body can only reach 10% of the past peak, and the upper limit of sacred magic can only reach 5% of the past.

And in some cases, he will regain greater power than before, but at a price -

Chapter 34: Questions No One Responds to

The increasingly violent shaking made Li Mengyu lose his balance. He personally wanted to chase after Shuten Douji, but looking at Nogi Wakaba and the other person who were completely unable to walk, and the skeleton that might fall apart in the next moment -

It looks like it won't work anymore.

The Armor of Vengeance dissipated from his body. The strange thing was that based on the amount of blood he had lost before, his clothes should have been stained with blood... but they were unexpectedly clean.

It was as if the blood that had flowed from his body before was all an illusion.

If his face wasn't indeed a little pale, it would probably be okay to say it was an illusion.

He spat a few mouthfuls of blood foam on the ground.

He looked at Nogi Wakaba and Kamisato Hinata who were hugging each other.

"First... let's hide."

……

The sudden earthquake lasted for more than an hour. I heard from Nogi Wakaba and the others that earthquakes have been quite frequent in recent years. Although the tremor this time was considered strong compared to the past, it lasted for a very short time.

The earthquake ended before I could even reach the temporary shelter with my two children.

There were cracks on the streets, and some electric poles and street lights were lying on the houses and on the roadside. It was because of these things that the time to get the two little ones to the shelter was delayed.

However, there could be aftershocks at any time, so Li Mengyu sent the two children to the shelter. The shelter still maintained a network connection, and according to the news, only the earthquake occurred in Kagawa Prefecture and did not affect Kochi Prefecture. Li Mengyu felt relieved.

"Um, I'm sorry for what happened before... Big Brother..."

Kamisato Hinata seemed to be apologizing for using a bad name for him in front of other people.

"It's nothing. No one expected a situation like that... Remember to keep it a secret for me and avoid walking at night. This is your apology to me."

He didn't take it to heart.

"The one who helped us..."

There were still quite a lot of people in the shelter, and Kamisato Hinata did not mention the words skeletons or monsters.

"I will consider it carefully, don't worry."

Kamisato Hinata finally felt relieved.
