Chapter 679: Prison Calamity

BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!

Successive explosions rang out from the edge of Tokyo, blinding flames mixed with thick smoke slowly rising into the sky.

This massive disturbance was enough to attract the attention of most Tokyo residents, but no one dared approach that direction. Even the Tokyo police simply stood there in silence, watching that area calmly...

That was a battle between the Oracle Envoys and a 【Most Evil】-level wanted criminal. It was not something they could interfere with.

The battlefield.

Tens of thousands of paper cranes swept through the heavens and earth like a hurricane. The four Oracle Envoys were separated by this ocean of paper cranes. With their line of sight, they couldn't see any other Oracle Envoys or Yuzuri Kurotetsu's traces at all. It was as if they had been completely submerged in an ocean of paper cranes.

Although destroying these paper cranes would be a trivial matter for them, the problem was... they couldn't do it.

Because they themselves couldn't tell whether they were currently in the center of real paper cranes or within the illusory paper cranes created by 【Illusory Pupil】. Even if they forcibly destroyed all the paper cranes around them, an endless number of paper cranes would still pile up.

The combination of 【Thousand Cranes】 and 【Illusory Pupil】 successfully separated the battlefields of the four Oracle Envoys.

Although if Yuzuri Kurotetsu harbored a killing intent toward any one of the Oracle Envoys, that person would immediately awaken from the illusion, this at least ensured he wouldn't be besieged by all four at once. With the power of 【Rainfall Collapse】 and 【Black Rope】, even when facing the attacks of two Oracle Envoys simultaneously, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

The four Oracle Envoys couldn't join forces to kill Yuzuri Kurotetsu, and Yuzuri Kurotetsu couldn't eliminate all four Oracle Envoys at the same time. The situation had reached a stalemate.

But this stalemate didn't last long.

The black-robed First Oracle Envoy stood amidst the flock of cranes, squinting at the endless paper cranes around him. The black ring in his left eye flickered for a moment, and he gently raised his palm, speaking calmly:

"Samsara Ghost Prison."

DONG DONG DONG DONG—!!

Countless black spikes condensed out of nothingness, deeply piercing into the ground beneath his feet. These black spikes circled vertically around him, gradually weaving into a black cage, and the one imprisoned within this cage was none other than himself.

This cage completely isolated him from the surrounding paper cranes. At the top of the cage, a ferocious demon phantom appeared, roaring at the countless paper cranes in the sky. Its crimson eyes radiated a chilling killing intent!

The moment this prison formed, the world in the black-robed Oracle Envoy's eyes slightly distorted. The sky full of paper cranes had already vanished, replaced by a desolate wasteland.

This prison completely separated inside from outside. Even the illusions of 【Thousand Cranes】 and 【Illusory Pupil】 couldn't pass through this seemingly simple cage to affect the black-robed Oracle Envoy imprisoned within.

This was an absolute 【Prison】.

He was the 【Pure Land】 First Oracle Envoy, "Prison Calamity."

In the black-robed Oracle Envoy's eyes, on the desolate earth below, Yuzuri Kurotetsu was locked in fierce combat with the white-robed "War Calamity" Oracle Envoy. Meanwhile, the other two Oracle Envoys were caught—one trapped by countless paper cranes, and the other trapped in an illusion created by 【Illusory Pupil】.

Yuzuri Kurotetsu gripped 【Black Rope】 in his hand, summoning a massive blade projection to clash repeatedly with the white-robed Oracle Envoy's invisible cutting patterns. The resulting thunderous explosions rolled through the sky.

The next moment, his figure flickered and vanished within the rain curtain.

When he appeared again, he was already behind the white-robed Oracle Envoy. The black long blade in his hand slashed rapidly toward the opponent's body!

CLANG—!!

The white-robed Oracle Envoy barely blocked this strike, but the force sent him flying, crashing heavily onto the desolate earth below, utterly disheveled.

Facing Yuzuri Kurotetsu who wielded two high-destructive Magatsu Blades, he had fallen into absolute disadvantage.

Yuzuri Kurotetsu was preparing to press the attack when, the next instant, black spikes stabbed out from the虚空, encircling him within the blink of an eye. At the same time, black chains like venomous serpents extended from underground, lightning-fast, grasping toward his body!

Yuzuri Kurotetsu's pupils constricted sharply. The 【Rainfall Collapse】 in his hand flickered with light, and his entire body moved with astonishing speed, leaving multiple afterimages in the rain as he tried to escape this forming 【Prison】.

The black-robed Oracle Envoy's厉害, he had witnessed it thirteen years ago. This time, he absolutely would not enter the 【Prison】 created by his opponent so easily.

The white-robed Oracle Envoy stood up from the ground, turning to look at the black-robed Oracle Envoy standing expressionlessly within the prison. The latter glanced at him coolly and said:

"Go wake up those two idiots."

The white-robed Oracle Envoy nodded. In that instant, he slashed out two invisible blade patterns—one flying toward the Fifth Oracle Envoy trapped by paper cranes, the other toward the Seventh Oracle Envoy lost in the illusion.

Stimulated by killing intent, the Seventh Oracle Envoy instantly awakened. At the same time, the Fifth Oracle Envoy broke free from the trap. These three Oracle Envoys simultaneously looked toward Yuzuri Kurotetsu, who was dodging the 【Prison】 dangerously, their bodies flickering as they attacked from different directions!

Yuzuri Kurotetsu's expression instantly turned grim.

He unconsciously raised his head, glancing at the silver disc suspended high above Tokyo in the distance, muttering to himself:

"Why isn't it ready yet... I can barely hold on any longer..."

BOOM!!

An invisible blade pattern cut through the air, slashing toward Yuzuri Kurotetsu's throat. He swiftly rolled aside, using 【Black Rope】 to block this strike head-on. But immediately after, the attacks from the other two Oracle Envoys came crashing down, directly striking him from the sky and creating a massive crater upon impact.

In the billowing smoke, Yuzuri Kurotetsu's sequined suit was already tattered and torn. He coughed as he stabilized his footing, and without time to think, merged into the rainwater and vanished on the spot.

Strange cyan patches began to appear on his body, and his internal organs started aching faintly.

Fifth Oracle Envoy, "Plague Calamity."

A black prison instantly sealed off the place where Yuzuri Kurotetsu had been standing.

Yuzuri Kurotetsu,一边躲避着【狱】,一边正面硬抗三位神谕使的攻击,他移动的速度越来越慢,身上的伤口也越来越多。

局势越发的恶劣起来。

再这样下去,不超过三分钟,他要么死在三位神谕使手里,要么活活病死,要么被1号神谕使的【狱】锁住,然后死在其中……

Yuzuri Kurotetsu深吸一口气,用力在舌尖一咬,一股腥甜涌现在他的口中,他已经开始模糊的意识,被刺激的再度清晰了起来。

他绝不能这么倒在这里……

他挥出一刀,逼退了白袍神谕使,余光再度瞥向远处的银色圆盘,这一次,他远远看到了一个身影自圆盘的边缘跳落下来,落在了城市的某处。

Yuzuri Kurotetsu的眼睛一亮!

那小子成功了?!

这一瞬间的分神,让他再度正面挨下了神谕使的一击,他猛地吐出一口鲜血,嘴角却微微上扬。

他将【Black Rope】归入鞘中,同时拔出了【Thousand Cranes】和【Illusory Pupil】,身形以惊人的速度化作纸鹤消散在空中……

"终于,等到这一天了。"
