Siren Blade

Chapter 9 Follows
The moment I touched the Siren Blade, a remarkable change happened.

My unsustainable consciousness returned from laxity to clarity, and the nauseating, viscous, mud-like feeling of dizziness disappeared as if I had encountered a super powerful suction machine.The world in front of me suddenly became extremely clear, as if I used to observe the world through frosted glass, or as if a severely myopic person wore glasses. I could even clearly observe the rough lines of trees tens of meters away.Moreover, this mountain forest was originally so dark that I could barely see the outlines of objects, but now it has become extraordinarily "clear", not the feeling of the light becoming brighter. In the house, so now I have finally "adapted" to the darkness.

The movement of all objects seemed to slow down, and the sand and grass clippings that had been stirred up by the shock wave were slowly falling down.If necessary, I even have the energy to see if there are any bugs in the mud.The ear that was still hurting just now doesn’t hurt anymore, and the eardrum seems to heal instantly, and I can clearly hear all the details of the sound coming from around me.

More importantly, now I feel an innumerable sense of power all over my body, as if there are a group of racehorses running in my veins.

Blue Bird once explained to me that the Siren Blade has many incredible properties. For example, just by holding this weapon, one can gain power far beyond ordinary people.

She also said: The wounds caused by the siren blade can not heal, can restrain the super fast regeneration ability, and even kill the undead.

In other words, the devil's own weapon is the weapon that can kill the devil.

Now I have the prerequisites to kill the devil with my own hands.

When I had this thought, I also felt the killing intent of the demon.This is not a metaphor. It seems that I really have the "awareness" that I thought would only appear in the story, and I can experience the illusory murderous aura.What a terrifying obsession, if he had five sense organs, I even suspect that the extremely chaotic obsession would turn into black liquid and flow out of his seven orifices.Overflowing from him is the extreme hatred that he would not hesitate to die with me.So much so that before I had time to rejoice in the powerful power I had acquired, I was about to become suffocated under the impact of this obsession.

The devil suddenly rushed towards me.

I couldn't capture his speed at first, but in my opinion at this moment, his speed is no different from that of ordinary people.In the process of advancing, the broken arm that was cut off by the blue bird squirmed quickly, and quickly grew back into the arm like rubbing plasticine.There is no bone or muscle structure in his wound, maybe he doesn't even have internal organs.I have never witnessed his immortality with my own eyes. If his whole body can recover like this, then he will indeed not die.But what if you get hit by the Siren Blade?
I forced myself to judge the situation calmly.I thought it would be difficult, but it was very easy to do.Then without hesitation, he swung the ax and slashed at the demon's head.

It turns out that I can still be so cruel to others, I am sighing somewhere in my heart.However, I have too many reasons to be cruel to the devil.He killed me twice, cut off the blue bird's left arm, and killed hundreds of people. I really can't find any reason to hesitate.Having said that, I may still hesitate, this is complicated human nature.

And as a result, I felt relieved about myself.I didn't hesitate at all, and my mind was full of chopping off his head before talking about other ideas.He even felt that it was not enough to do this with him as an opponent, and he would have to tear his body into pieces to be at ease.

It's a pity that I didn't succeed in this blow.He clenched his right hand, and the black shadow matter that made up his body separated, turned into an ax that was exactly the same shape as the Siren Blade, and collided with the ax on my side.

The impact of the ax and the ax made a loud noise and shock wave like detonating explosives.

I just felt numbness in the palm of my hand, and the ax was about to fall out of my hand.But he was far more familiar with this feeling than I was, quickly recovered his posture, and struck me on the forehead again.

If it was me before, I would definitely be tricked, but now I avoid it.Not only because of the speed, when he made this blow, a very clear "awareness" flashed in my consciousness, and I felt "he is going to do this next", so I retreated while he was attacking .

Immediately afterwards, he attacked one after another.The moves are all fatal blows, and I can almost see myself being killed, but in the end they all avoid it in the same way.

Is such a powerful "awareness" also the change brought about by the Siren Blade?Taking advantage of this incredible phenomenon, I took the opportunity to overcome my fear of death and injury, and aimed at the gap between the Majin's attack to return a blow.However, he also seemed to be able to see my movements in advance, and adopted a blocking strategy while I was attacking.

Attacking, counterattacking, blocking, evading... In the continuous confrontation, in the world that has become slow, only the Majin and I are exchanging attacks at a normal speed.And gradually, I also figured out my current speed level.

Relying on the prestige of the Siren Blade, I do have the explosive power of a demon.

But this creates a problem, why can the devil still fight me?
If I have upgraded from a weak ordinary person to a demon-level warrior with the Siren Blade, shouldn't the Demon who lost the Siren Blade degenerate from a demon to a weak ordinary person?
Or, although the Siren Blade is no longer in his hands, he is still the true owner of the Siren Blade, and can share the power of the Siren Blade in some form?

It was another collision, and I noticed that his Sombra Ax lost to the Siren Blade, and there was a pretty sharp breach, but it recovered in a blink of an eye.He attacked again, and the situation had already visibly turned towards him.

In any case, my combat experience is too limited.Although I have strong "awareness", this awareness only helps me point out the problem, but does not reveal the solution for me.

On the other hand, the devil is obviously very familiar with fighting, and his heart is probably full of "problem-solving ideas".

This is not a battle of equals at all.The reason why I haven't been killed at this moment is only because I changed to a defensive posture in time.

If I rush back to the offensive, I'm afraid I will die on the spot without three moves.

It would be great if he could fight together with the blue bird, no matter how rich the demon's combat experience is, he can't beat four hands with two fists.However, after the severe injury just now, Jade Bird has lost her combat effectiveness. I don't know if she is still awake, and I am also worried that I can't get out to confirm her specific safety.If I could get the Siren Blade sooner——I just had this idea in my heart, and I couldn't help but ridicule myself, such an idea would be too extravagant.

I haven't given up on killing the devil yet, but I have to admit that I have more energy than I can.Although I hope that I can quickly weave reversal tactics when being pressed and beaten by the enemy like the protagonist of a combat comic, but only when I am really in this situation can I deeply understand that in this fast-paced close-up Not to mention weaving tactics in battle, a little distraction will kill your life.

In order to gain a chance to breathe and think, and to keep the seriously injured Jade Bird away from the battlefield, I could only retreat quickly.

The gesture of the demon chasing me is like a demon from hell who has sworn to never let me go.

"Is there any special old enmity between you and me?" Trying to talk to him, he really turned a deaf ear to it.I silently said in my heart: Who are you?
Five years ago, did you also kill the front desk on Wuming Mountain like this?Or is it just like my most bizarre imagination, you are the ghost who incarnated after the death of the front desk, and you want to punish me who lives alone?If not, why are you so obsessed with killing me?
I don't want to be killed by you in a daze.

——Also, you don't want to be killed by me in a daze.

Perhaps saying this would make it appear that I got carried away with my first taste of power, but the current me does have the prerequisites to kill you.Although far inferior to you, but after all, I can fight you like this.

He may have "perceived" my thoughts from his eyes. In the next second, he suddenly accelerated, and the ax struck with the strongest force.

The previous description seems to make me and the Majin look like ordinary soldiers fighting with cold weapons, but in fact, our battles are carried out at super high speeds that ordinary people cannot capture.This blow was even more violent beyond the realm of common sense, and it even knocked me off the ground in a blocking position, and I was blown tens of meters away by this force like a baseball.

The bad thing is that the landing point after the knock-up was much lower than I thought, and it probably fell under a small cliff.I waited a few extra seconds before hitting the ground and rolling downhill for some distance.Ordinary people’s words must have been smashed to pieces, but at this time, I just feel pain, like changing from a water balloon that bursts when poked into a rubber ball that is no problem no matter how you throw it.However, this fall and roll made me feel dizzy, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction when I came here.Fortunately, I have a unique way to distinguish - check the "guidance of intuition".

Every time I wandered into this mountain forest before, I could feel the guidance. My experience tells me that this guidance will lead me to the place where the devil is.

It is very likely that the "devil's response to me" that Aotoro mentioned is the same thing as my "intuitive guidance".

I calmed down my mood and felt silently.It doesn't take too much effort, as long as your attention is not distracted by other things, you can immediately grasp this sense of being guided.

This time, however, I was seriously wrong in my judgment.

While I was waiting in the direction indicated, there were undisguised footsteps behind me.Looking back, a pitch-black ax slashed over from the darkness.

I reflexively parried the ax before I saw the Majin who had almost merged with the darkness.

How is it possible... How could he come from the opposite direction of the guidance?

Is it possible that, just as Jade Bird can provide me with a "talisman to shield induction", he also has some kind of "method to confuse induction"?
Or... am I wrong from the premise?

Didn't "intuitive guidance" guide me to the place where the devil is from the very beginning?
So where is this intuition trying to lead me?

Due to being disrupted by the sudden attack from behind, it was difficult for me to maintain my defense this time, so I could only withdraw again and again.The demon seized this opportunity, suddenly raised his left hand, and condensed a black stick; at the same time, he continued to swing the giant ax with his right hand, dealing a fatal blow to me.

I jumped back as fast as I could, narrowly avoiding the blow.But in the next moment, he spliced ​​the black stick in his left hand to the handle of the ax in his right hand at a very fast speed, and at the same time rushed towards me very quickly.

He held a long-handled giant ax in both hands, and swung it brazenly.

In my original prediction, it was impossible for him to attack me at this distance, but facing this extended weapon at this moment is completely different.Before I could hit the ground, the ax blade shattered my entire breastbone.

I fell to the ground miserably, and the last thing I saw was a picture of a demon holding a long-handled ax with both hands.

Everything is buried in darkness...
-
The familiar radio sound awakened my consciousness again.

I woke up slowly on the seat of the train, and the sunlight coming in from the window made me squint my eyes.

I'm back on the train to the Nameless Mountain again.This time, I was no longer surprised.I have gradually accepted and got used to this "time regression phenomenon", or "precognitive dream phenomenon".

However, everything has to start all over again.

This is my third death, and it is also the one I am most unwilling to die.

Even though I have already obtained the Siren Blade, even if there is a next time, will I have a chance to obtain such a powerful weapon again?

And... what is that "intuitive guidance" all about?I thought it was an intuition that led me to where the Majin was, but it didn't seem to be the case.

I closed my eyes tightly, trying to calm down the strong unwillingness to emerge in my heart.However, my strongest emotion at this moment is not actually unwillingness, but an unresolved feeling of emptiness.

Jade Bird said that the phenomenon that happened to me was not a "backtracking" but a "dream".Although I have never fully accepted this statement, if all this, all that I have personally experienced, is really just a dream... Then I, who have invested so much emotion in these false dreams, What is it?

Everything is just an imagination that happened in my mind, and in reality, I have never talked to Qingniao, and Qingniao doesn't remember me...

But thinking about it this way, I feel so empty that I can't feel my own skull, and suffocated as if my body is being pressed by something very heavy.

This feeling of being pinned down is so real I can't even get up, it's like...

Wait, it seems that something is really holding me down.

And it was on my thigh, making it impossible for me to stand up.

I immediately opened my eyes and looked down.

The weight on my thigh was a giant axe.

To be precise, it was a giant ax with a short handle.The ax was as big as a washbasin, and its material was turbid black, covered with rust as if soaked in seawater all year round.Vaguely, something like blood can be seen from the rusted cracks.

Holding the handle of the giant axe, I felt the surging power pouring into my body.The perception is also unprecedentedly sharp, the world in front of him has become extremely slow, and only he can move at a normal speed.

It's the Siren Blade.

The Siren Blade actually followed me back!
