Chapter 946 Forgotten (7k)
What happened?
It is said that seeing is believing, but when what one sees is beyond one's ability to accept, one will still doubt the authenticity of this thing, wondering if one is dreaming or seeing things.
Damrada was like this at the moment. When he saw Ji Xing fighting Velgrynd in close combat, he fell silent. And when Ji Xing used a headbutt to knock Velgrynd away, the fist saint who had lived for nearly two thousand years opened his mouth so wide that he could fit his fist in it.
Facing a dragon species that is born as an ultimate life form, even a fist saint like him may not be able to withstand more than three moves in close combat before breaking bones. That is the limitation of the race itself. Even the strongest hero who sealed Veldora relied on his extremely powerful ultimate skills and the things attached to his swordsmanship.
A head-on confrontation? Even Guy couldn't do it, let alone... gain the upper hand?
Yuuki who was holding Footman and returning was also shocked, but managed not to show any strange expression.
"Is it a skill evolution? A breakthrough at the last minute like the protagonists in anime, novels, and movies?"
No, it's different from that. This guy definitely doesn't have the aura of a protagonist or luck. From the first scene of his battle with Velgrind, he expected this moment! The powerful dragon species is just a stone for him to sharpen his knife!
Yuuki's eyes tilted slightly as he glanced at Jessir, who was struggling and cursing under Cagalli's attack. That twisted soul had dimmed a lot, and something close to energy seemed to be being absorbed by Cagalli, causing Cagalli's power to become stronger and stronger.
Is this also part of his plan?
No, no matter how he thought about it, he shouldn’t know that Footman has that kind of thing in his body, right? But when he wanted to deny it, Yuuki couldn’t be firm.
An inexplicable panic rose in his heart, which was something he had never experienced before facing anyone since he came to the other world. Even though Ji Xing had not exchanged any eye contact with him when he rushed over just now, Yuuki still had a feeling that the man understood him, knew what he wanted to do, and... didn't care about it.
Am I not even worthy of his attack? At this time, Yuuki caught a high-speed moving figure from the corner of his eye, and thought to himself, even if Jixing didn't make a move, Rimuru-sensei and Hinata would not let me go.
"Let's go!" He growled, motioning Tia and Damrad to follow him.
Tia paused: "But Your Highness..."
"Cagari shouldn't be in danger in the short term. She's probably being coerced by the skill merchant. Let's not cause her trouble!" Yuuki said, but he didn't think so in his heart.
After some persuasion and a few pulls, Dia finally followed, looking back every few steps.
Damrada hesitated for two seconds and followed suit, smiling bitterly inwardly.
I thought I was the trump card that could help Velgrind-sama, but... I didn’t even have the courage or the ability to make a move.
Rudra, although I haven’t seen the final outcome of the battle, but probably… you were still careless in sending out Velgrind-sama this time!
……
"What's going on? Is everyone okay?"
In the distance, Rimuru glanced in the direction where Yuuki fled, jumped to Shyvana and the others, and asked, "Who is that ghost-like old man? Where is Veldora's sister? Was she defeated by you and Jixing?"
Shivana pointed forward, so Rimuru turned his eyes to Ji Xing who was floating in the sky hundreds of meters away. He saw a "royal sister" figure suddenly emerged from the ground, her long black hair dancing wildly under the wind pressure and anger, and she punched Ji Xing!
After a few muffled bangs, several mushroom clouds exploded in the air. Ji Xing ducked to avoid the long legs raised by the queen, and with a backhand hook punch, he crushed the queen's face!
thump—
Like the echo of thunder.
With his excellent eyesight, Rimuru clearly saw the beautiful face being distorted by the punch, saliva was spit out, and then it turned into a rainbow light, penetrating the distant mountains!
Rimuru let out a long hiss, feeling a little bit reluctant. Ji Xing, this guy, was merciless to such a beautiful girl. Why did he hit her in the face when he couldn't have hit her somewhere else?
"Who is that girl? Is she the helper that Burning Flame Dragon left behind to cover the rear? She must be very strong."
Upon hearing this, Shyvana couldn't help but glance at Rimuru. The two demons, Rain and Misali, also sucked their teeth but said nothing.
The next moment, the mountain that the queen had pierced suddenly exploded, like a long-dormant volcanic eruption, and dust filled half the sky!
Rimuru's mouth twitched and opened wide, watching the royal sister in the dust, her body wrapped in flames, crashing towards Ji Xing like a flaming meteor. After several collisions, he was kicked in the abdomen, bent like a shrimp, foaming at the mouth, and hanging upside down towards the distant ground.
The strong wind pressure made her, Shivana and the other two take a few steps back. Rimuru stared at Ji Xing blankly and did not react for a long time.
Even when Hinata appeared beside her, causing Shivana and the other two to be on guard, and the stunned Benimaru and Shion appeared behind Rimuru, Rimuru did not come to his senses.
Until Hinata's voice came: "Don't you need to set up a barrier? It doesn't look like the fight between the two of them will end anytime soon. If it continues like this, your kingdom will be destroyed."
"Oh!" Rimuru was shocked and turned his head in surprise: "Hinata?!"
Although the misunderstanding has just been resolved, what you meant just now was... are you willing to help me?
When it comes to setting up barriers, the Paladins are better at it, and among the monsters, Rimuru and Shuna are the only two who are proficient in setting up barriers.
And... As expected of Hinata, the one with blue hair is Velgrendo, right? One of the only four dragons in the world, Veldora's sister, she is being beaten by Ji Xing alone, aren't you surprised? !
She looked at Hinata's calm expression and heard him say calmly, "Come with me."
"oh oh!"
Rimuru was amazed that Hinata was also an amazing guy. He was afraid that he would never be able to learn such a calm attitude. Until she found out... why did Hinata seem to turn the wrong way?
"Um...Hinata, don't fall." She warned weakly.
Hinata paused, and the next moment her face flushed red as she drew out her sword and said, "As expected! Monsters should still be sentenced to death?!"
“Wow—” Rimuru jumped to dodge and shouted, “I’m sorry—!”
……
107 times. When a huge barrier with a diameter of dozens of miles covered the battlefield between Ji Xing and Velgrind, Velgrind had been hit 107 times.
Floating in the sky opposite Ji Xing, Velgrind’s breathing became heavy.
Thirty percent of its energy was consumed, most of which was used to treat injuries, and its physical strength also declined rapidly with this rapid consumption.
The feeling of powerlessness was something Velgrendo had never experienced before. It was how others had always felt when facing her, but today she felt it back.
During these 107 attacks, she tried various methods, even exchanging injuries for injuries, but the final result was that she didn't even hurt a single hair of Ji Xing!
Ever since Ji Xing seemed to have advanced some skills and possessed a physical strength comparable to hers, she had been suppressed in all directions. With similar strength and speed, the fight between the two was like a martial arts champion beating an ordinary person. There were several times when she even wanted to bite Ji Xing's ear with her mouth and use her nails as sharp blades to scratch Ji Xing's face, but she was always knocked back and sent flying.
Impeccable, was her conclusion.
This man's punches and kicks were so powerful that she felt it was ridiculous! She even had a feeling that her attacks had not yet made the other party take her seriously!
The original resentment and anger gradually subsided with each blow, and rational will prevailed. She said: "I have never been so embarrassed. You are very strong, a skill merchant, and I even think you are stronger than Qi Yi.
I can't defeat you, but for the sake of Rudra's hegemony, I must win, even if the method may seem a little despicable."
Ji Xing said, "Don't you find one thing strange? Scorching Dragon. What hatred do I have with Rudra? I never said I wanted to get involved in his boring fight with Guy, so why did he send you to kill me? Is it just because I haven't sold my skills to your empire before?"
Velgrind paused. She was indeed a little confused about this matter. In the past, Rudra always wanted to conquer and recruit talented people with his domineering power, but for Jixing, he did not hesitate to let her take action.
"Do you know why?"
“I can probably guess.” Ji Xing smiled: “Because of the ‘King of Exploration’ I demonstrated at the Demon King’s Banquet. It can explore a person’s deepest secrets, even the moment of being manipulated that Clayman himself ‘has no memory of’.
Rudra has a secret that he absolutely does not want to reveal, and this secret can be discovered by exploring the memories of some of his confidants. He is worried that I will discover it, so he must get rid of me. "
Velgrind’s face darkened. “Are you insulting Rudra?”
Ji Xing suddenly turned his head and said to someone else, "Don't cry, Cagalli. Being devoured by you and having all the accumulation of my life become your power is Jessir's atonement. Shivana, she will be our companion in the future, as my maid and secretary. You two should get along well."
Then Ji Xing turned to look at Velgrynd, and everything was said without words.
Jessir?... This is indeed strange.
"Do you want me to explore your memory? Maybe there will be a surprise." Ji Xing said.
Velgrynd was silent for a moment, then her body swayed and turned into a red dragon. Dazzling red light radiated from her body, and the aftermath swept the barren land below that was destroyed by the fight between the two people and began to burn!
The flames were swaying, reflecting her uncertain dragon head. "How dare you, Ji Xing. If you have the ability to make me lose consciousness like Clayman, come and explore again!"
The roar of the dragon echoed, and the barrier that had just been erected began to shake in an instant.
The paladins were horrified and tried their best to maintain their power. Rimuru and Hinata were also shocked. How could they become so much stronger after turning into a dragon? Just roaring...
In fact, the gap is not that big.
However, Ji Xing and Velgrind had both tried to contain the aftermath of their previous fight.
This could be considered one of the unspoken rules of this world. Strong men like dragons must control the aftermath of their own power during combat.
Because this is the only planet they live on, although dragons can survive in the starry sky and in other worlds, they do not want to change their place of residence. It would be bad if they destroyed the planet during a battle.
So far, only Milim and Guy, who lost control two thousand years ago, have not restrained their power. As a result, the land in the west is still full of dangerous energy. Even the naturally powerful giants have a hard time living there.
At this moment, Velgrind released most of his control, and at most suppressed it to the extent of not damaging the core of the planet, and did not care whether his fire would destroy the Jura Forest!
In this way, she can infinitely magnify her biggest advantage over Ji Xing, and perhaps her only advantage now - as a dragon, her magic energy is still far greater than Ji Xing!
At the same time, strong people from all over the world basically captured this power.
The white-haired, blue-eyed white ice dragon Velzard of the White Ice Palace, who looked similar to Velgrind but more mature, snorted and laughed: “That child was forced to this extent.”
Qi Yi frowned and looked up at the sky without responding.
In the Lost Dragon City, Milim, who was finishing the homework assigned by Frey with a gloomy face, jumped up and said, “Oops, someone got there first!”
There are only four days left before the fight with Ji Xing. That was the only motivation that kept her honest for the past half month... Damn it! Can Ji Xing beat Auntie Zhuo Yanlong? Don't miss the fight with me!
She rolled her eyes and ran away.
In the barren land of the west, in the Giant King's court, the Giant King Dagril had a solemn expression on his face as he heard roars and screams coming from the deepest prison in the court.
In the Demonic Federation, all the monsters and humans hid in the buildings and trembled, because they were worried about the lack of response from Hinata. Luminas, who had just stood firm, was staggered by the wind pressure. She wanted to turn around and curse, but stopped.
Her beautiful face twisted for two seconds, and she spat, "Are you crazy?!"
Velgrynd was certainly not crazy.
She knew that such an outburst would attract too much attention, but it was the only way for her to defeat Ji Xing. A storm of fire wrapped around her dragon, and her ultimate skill was fully activated!
This time it is a superposition of ultimate and ultimate.
A random attack by a dragon species that has exploded with all its strength is the power of an ultimate skill, and when amplified by an ultimate skill, it can freeze the surrounding space in an instant!
Then, layer upon layer of magic arrays appeared around her. It was a magical ensemble created by her using her 'alternative body' ability to instantly create another body to cast magic and then retract the other body!
She could easily cast nuclear attack magic that an ordinary magician would never be able to perform in his entire life. A total of ninety-nine and eighty-one nuclear attack magic spells, with the blessing of the ultimate skill, were directed at Ji Xing.
"Take that, heat shrink cannon!"
The sky and the earth are covered by light cannons that can destroy everything. If this attack is directed towards the ground, it can easily wipe a country off the map!
Therefore, Ji Xing also became more serious and raised his hands in both directions, as if lifting up something invisible, and the magic element vibrated.
hum-
The space and time ahead seemed to be distorted.
The overlapping light cannons suddenly refracted!
Just like the previous breath, the light cannon that was supposed to attack Ji Xing changed direction, chased the scorching sun, and penetrated into outer space!
The tragic barrier was broken, and even a huge hole was burned in the atmosphere.
As expected, it was that move again, the unknown ultimate skill… Although Velgrynd had prepared herself mentally, she was still a little shocked at this moment, but it did not delay her next attack.
At the moment the atmosphere was broken, ten dragon heads grew out of her dragon's body at the same time. Together with her original head, a total of eleven heads opened their mouths and emitted a scorching breath.
The transmitted laser also twisted and turned under her powerful control, attacking Ji Xing from all directions.
Ji Xing still bent these attacks in the same way and sent them into outer space, but at the same time, fire rained down from the sky.
While Ji Xing was defending against the two attacks, Velgrind flew over Ji Xing and released a rain of scorching breath. The scorching rain poured down one after another, turning into a pillar of fire connecting the sky and the earth.
This space completely turned into a land of death. The paladins dozens of miles away felt their skin tingling and their hearts were filled with fear.
Because Ji Xing only defended to offset the fire rain that could hurt himself, the excess fire power fell to the earth, directly transforming the battlefield into a sea of magma and fire. The destructive power of the dragon species was clearly visible under this large-scale attack.
The reason why Velgrind was able to cast such a large-scale attack as Rain of Fire was not because of her excess magic power. Her ultimate skill was "Acceleration", which was to strengthen the flames. When the terrain was replaced by a sea of molten lava and the droplets in the air contained terrifying power, what would happen if she accelerated? !
"A burning hug!" Velgrind flew over Jixing and flapped its wings rapidly!
The ground was boiling under her power. The excess flames turned the earth into gas. The lava was also vaporized by the super high temperature and wrapped around Ji Xing! The gas containing Velgrind's power was everywhere, and eventually turned into a substantial cage that quickly locked Ji Xing in it!
It was a cage of blood that was poured from bottom to top. Even if one did not touch the edge of the cage, the temperature inside was terrifyingly high at tens of thousands of degrees.
It's a super steam room! Even a dragon-like body can't stand it for too long!
"It's over. Sorry."
Velgrind murmured.
With her ultimate skill, she can infinitely pour energy into the cage to keep it locked and strong. With the previous example, she doesn't think it will be so easy to burn Ji Xing to ashes, but Ji Xing will never last as long as she does.
The battle has become a contest of magic power under her deliberate creation, and she will win unfairly!
But just as she was feeling a mixture of regret and relief, she discovered that a rectangular mark suddenly appeared in the middle of the blood cage in front of her.
The mark was about two meters high and roughly three meters wide, and it was printed on the blood cage. It felt... like a cell door?
Then the prison door was pushed open.
There was no damage, no destruction, the door that was pushed open was still burning, as if the blood cage she had forged was a structure that could open the door!
Ji Xing flew out of the door unharmed, and even closed the door with his backhand, leaving the intact blood cage behind him.
Velgrind was stunned.
The scene before her was so absurd, even far beyond Ji Xing's physical suppression. She had never thought that one day her secret would be cracked in such a... somewhat funny way?
"……what is that?"
"Skills." Ji Xing replied.
It is his ultimate skill, the ancestor of the technique, Ishiba, and it is also the skill that bent Velgrendo's attack before!
But that was not the bending that Velgrynd thought, it was control. It was Jisung who took over the control of her attacks and made them fly into space.
The ultimate skill from the Naruto world, the foundation world that has mastered the world's will, has given Ji Xing complete control over the "art"!
Elements? Time? Space?
The word "ancestor" gave Ji Xing the authority of an administrator! He did not need elemental resistance, because the elements were his little brothers and could not hurt him.
If the dragon species’ magic immunity was not so strong, Ji Xing could even consume more magic elements to bounce back Velgrind’s attack.
Or like this!
Ji Xing threw the blood cage upside down, and the invisible magic force pulled him upside down. The cage, which was a hundred meters high, flipped upside down, passed over Ji Xing's head, and violently smashed towards Velgrind!
As a scorching dragon, Velgrynd was completely immune to fire, but a chill woke her up from her shock.
"Is that... star particles?!"
Her wings flapped violently, trying to escape the coverage of the cage, but the cage still hit the edge of her wings, and she fell over with a scream of pain!
Rumbling--
Amidst the roar like an earthquake, Ji Xing stretched out his hand and waved it towards the distance. The sword blade that had been promoted to the mythical level came whistling. As Ji Xing's hand swept across the blade, the sword body shone and was as bright as light.
A sword that was promoted to a mythical level by slaying dragons, why not call it Dragon Slaying Sword, Dragon Sorrow Sword, Dragon Blood Sword, Dragon Slaying Sword? Forget it, as long as it is useful enough, you can call it a machete!
……
After some time, the Eastern Empire.
Velgrind’s true self, who had been silent for a while, suddenly woke up. Her face was slightly pale and weak. She looked around and soon found Rudra who was looking at her with concern. She remained silent.
"Lost?" Rudra shook his head gently and said, "Don't blame yourself, my Marshal. I was already alert enough to value that man, but I still underestimated him. Perhaps letting you and Kondou together, or even summoning the Archangel to descend, is a more decisive and correct choice."
“…I’m sorry.” Velgrind shook his head gently. “I want to help you, Rudra, but I’m not strong enough. The Empire’s army has always been stronger than the West’s. The single-digit combat power and the angel army are stronger than the Demon King, but you have never been able to complete your hegemony. It’s all because I can’t defeat Guy. Now there is one more person I can’t defeat.”
“No, don’t take all the responsibility on yourself.” Rudra’s voice became gentle, “I am too weak. You can’t defeat Guy, but your sister Velzard beside Guy has the ability to kill me, so you must stay by my side to protect me.
Skill merchant Ji Xing was an accident. Since we lost this time, we will regroup."
His face became domineering again. "Just as the skill merchant has become Guy's fighting force, does that mean we can't win?"
“…Yes.” Velgrind took a deep breath and said, “He also consumed more than half of his magic power to defeat me. If I use my real body next time and don’t aim to kill him, but just hold him back and make the battle a protracted one, the result may be different. At least I won’t be defeated so easily! But in that case, my sister and Guy…”
“Take your time.” Rudra said, “At least for now, Guy has no intention of taking advantage of this opportunity to launch a decisive battle. We still have time to prepare, right? When my angel army is ready…”
“By the way, do you still remember the name Jessir?” Velgrynd suddenly asked.
"Hmm... Sorcerer Emperor?"
"It was him. His soul appeared near the battlefield. His name was Feldwei. I remember that he was the leader of the seven angels of origin. It seems that you have never summoned him to your angel army..."
"Ah, the Seven Origin Angels are too strong, too much for me to bear. Feldwei? I haven't had much contact with him, why would he be involved with a guy like Jessir?"
Velgrind looked at Rudra’s puzzled expression and shook his head. “I thought you would know. Looks like you should be careful. Are the Seven Origin Angels going to leave the realm created by my brother? This may have an impact on you.”
"Yes, I understand." Rudra nodded gently: "Okay, go and rest. You have lost 90% of your magic power, you should sleep for a while to replenish it."
"...Yeah. Be careful while I'm away, and wake me up anytime."
"I know, go ahead."
Velgrynd walked backwards towards her own bedroom. As if due to excessive consumption, her face was extremely pale and her eyes were empty.
It was not until she fell headfirst into her bed that a faint gleam appeared in her eyes.
「Rudra……」
Her memory returned to the battlefield, the moment when Ji Xing stared through the dragon's head after the fierce battle, a short memory flashed in her mind. It was a scene brought by the King of Exploration hundreds of years ago.
At that time, she was hiding behind the wall and happened to hear a conversation between Rudra and Damrad.
“Damrada, every time I reincarnate, my heart wears out. No, maybe that’s what Jin meant by soul, but it’s not important. What’s important is that I might lose myself in the future.”
"Soul... worn out?"
"Right, that is it."
"Haha, this joke is really funny, but if you want me to deduct your office hours for this, I'm sorry I can't do it."
“Hahaha, then just ignore it… Oh, no, Damrada, listen to me.”
When Rudra became serious, Damrad also became serious: "Yes, you say."
"This is an order. If I am no longer myself and become something else, you will kill me immediately, Damrada."
"……His Majesty?!"
“I can’t ask Velgrynd for this kind of thing, can I?”
I forgot this memory.
Why did I forget it?!
Velgrind buried her head in the pillow, and her tears soaked the pillow without her noticing.
Normally, I should never have forgotten such a horrible thing, and I sent Damrada away for no reason, right? And now, Damrada seems to have forgotten it completely, too. He doesn't remember it either!
We all... forgot.
