The people of Nihon still had no idea what was happening.
The sky suddenly turned blood-red, and then a dozen pillars of light shot skyward. Most terrifying of all, gigantic monsters emerged from these light pillars, transforming into towering skeleton giants!
On this day, they were once again reminded of the fear of being dominated by giants. Many fled in panic, desperate to get away from the skeleton giants. However, there was also a segment of the population...
...who, after seeing the skeleton giants appear, hesitated for a moment, then bit their fingers until they bled, but nothing happened.
No one transformed into a giant from their injuries, nor did anyone pull out a transformation device to become a Giant of Light. Sure enough, Ultraman was all fake! Beyond the sea, there were only enemies!
It was Nihon's military that truly began to act, but just as they prepared to engage, a red mist enveloped them, and they all collapsed, unable to get up. Aside from some special individuals, ordinary people simply couldn't resist the overwhelming drowsiness and fell straight asleep.
This quickly led to unforeseen accidents, with over a thousand Nihon citizens dying instantly due to these incidents.
Amakusa stood on a rooftop, his gaze firm as he watched the numerous red lights, which were Soul Blood, ascend into the sky after death.
"Energy can be replenished! I have a premonition that this enemy will be our greatest foe yet! We must strike them down now! Arakashira has already moved, but it's not enough! Fellow Ghost Generals! Show them your power!!"
As Amakusa whispered, the other blood-jade light pillars also stirred. Several Ghost Generals prepared to act, intending to aid Arakashira, who was the third strongest among the Ghost Generals, but...
*"Bang!!"*
The kneecap, also known as the patella, is a round bone at the knee.
It's considered one of the harder bones, and it didn't shatter from taking a direct kick from Mo Shuying! However, the knee joint was dislocated, and a large thigh bone flew off!
"Roar!!"
"Take this punch!!"
Mo Shuying kicked the blood-red skeleton's left leg apart, sending bone fragments flying. The blood-red skeleton lost a leg and was somewhat unstable, stumbling back two steps. Just as it regained its balance...
"Bang!"
Mo Shuying had already leaped onto the blood-red skeleton's bones, delivering a Rising Dragon Punch to its jaw!
"Crack!"
The blood-red skeleton's massive mouth was dislocated, and even more so was its neck. Its neck, thicker than Mo Shuying's, snapped with a resounding crack, and the gigantic skull tumbled away, searching for its leg.
*"Rumble!!"*
Without its head, the massive skeleton began to crumble, its bones scattering across the ground.
Mo Shuying landed on a thick rib, noticing that the magic within the rib hadn't changed; it hadn't diminished from the attack. What did this mean?
It meant the blood-red skeleton hadn't sustained much damage.
And just as Mo Shuying had expected.
"Whoosh!"
The skeletal hand, previously scattered on the ground, suddenly sprang up and clawed at Mo Shuying.
"Bang!"
However, the skeletal hand grabbed at empty air. It was too slow, unable to even touch Mo Shuying's clothes, let alone cause him any harm.
"Roar!!"
While it didn't harm Mo Shuying, it dealt a psychological blow to the blood-red skeleton. The scattered bones suddenly ignited with black and red flames. All the bones were connected by the fire, quickly reassembling into their original form.
That wasn't all. Within the flames, a suit of armor covered its entire body. Its skull was concealed by a helmet and mask, making it appear utterly flawless.
"Clang!"
A massive blade was also drawn by the blood-red skeleton—a forty-meter-long greatsword, wreathed in black and red flames. Its ghostly claw gripped the sword and swung fiercely at Mo Shuying!
"Whoosh!"
Flames soared, and roaring inferno leveled the surrounding area with a single swing. Mo Shuying, however, had already leaped into the air. A massive Axe-Sword appeared in his hand, and the muscles in his right arm bulged!
"Nine Lives!"
*"Boom!!"*
The enormous Axe-Sword was hurled, instantly piercing through the blood-red skeleton's armor and body, passing through its front and exiting its back, then embedding itself in the ground and blasting up a large amount of dirt!
"Clack!"
The blood-red skeleton, holding its greatsword, froze. Its chest was pierced straight through, but for a skeletal frame, such an injury truly had little impact on its movement. The reason it didn't move was because the damage had completely permeated it.
Mo Shuying's strike wasn't just physical penetration; it carried an immense amount of magic. With a single blow, the blood-red skeleton felt that if it moved again, it might truly fall apart!
Fear. Arakashira, since its summoning, felt fear for the first time! And its opponent was just a tiny human!
"Roar!"
Feeling fear, Arakashira's pride was wounded, and a surge of humiliation welled up. In that moment, death itself seemed unimportant!
"Whoosh!"
Flames! Flames infused with a death wish roared. At this moment, Arakashira was possessed by the spirit of Kojiro! It unleashed a full-power sword strike, a blade that soared like a fiery eagle towards Mo Shuying, attempting a decisive kill!
However, its opponent was Mo Shuying. Arakashira only saw Mo Shuying's figure flicker and vanish from his spot. Then, in a blur, Mo Shuying was already before its eye sockets.
"Intentional Blast Punch!"
A fist extended. In Arakashira's eyes, it was so tiny! An almost negligible fist! Yet, at this moment, it felt like a colossal mountain crushing down upon it!
"*Boom!*"
Destroyed! A large section of the huge skull was blasted apart, and most of the soul fire within its head was scattered by a single punch. Arakashira's aura plummeted, its fiery armor disintegrated, and its massive body began to break apart into specks of light.
"It died just like that?"
The experience points were credited, which was a positive sign. Mo Shuying reached out and grabbed a walnut-sized orb—a purplish-black Spirit Orb.
Arakashira's Spirit Orb
Grants Fire Resistance (B) when equipped.
Grants Energy Strength Enhancement (B).
Effect: Spirit Orb of Flame
Summons the power of flame to form armor, enhancing the wearer's defense and strength. Hitting a target grants a temporary Strength boost (D). Being attacked grants a Strength boost (C). Lasts for 10 seconds, can be reset.
"Huh? This skull seems pretty high-level."
He hadn't expected it to be a dual-attribute enhancement item. Mo Shuying hadn't felt Arakashira was that strong; it was just tough, not particularly intelligent.
Indeed.
"I'm just too strong."
Mo Shuying tilted his head up at a forty-five-degree angle, looking as lonely as snow, then turned to face the other eleven pillars of light.
"There must be yokai inside these pillars of light. Very well, since you won't let me leave and want to play, then I'll play along!"
Mo Shuying understood that with a Boundary Field around Nihon, leaving would likely be difficult. Since he couldn't leave, he might as well cause some chaos!
"*Boom!*"
Mo Shuying started running, each step covering a vast distance. It was worth noting that the pillar of light from which Arakashira emerged began to fade rapidly and gradually became transparent after Arakashira disappeared.
Mo Shuying ignored Arakashira's pillar of light and ran towards another, a pillar of entirely blood-red light, for nearly five minutes, and then!
"Whoosh!"
Flash—something tangible! But it was incredibly suitable for traveling quickly!
