Chapter 714: My Turn
The nine orderlies Lin Qiye had summoned were only at the "River" realm, so their combat power wasn't particularly high, but they possessed extremely strong abilities to trap and interfere with enemies. Working together, the nine of them were enough to obstruct these demons.
Amidst the raging flames, Lin Qiye and the other two charged out. Wei Dong's pixel pistol fired continuously, turning all the walls blocking their path into collapsing pixels, heading straight for the target wall.
All three were extremely fast. After just over a minute, they had passed through numerous rooms and arrived at the wall where the Jorogumo was located.
At this moment, the half-spider woman had climbed to the top of the room, her spider legs adhering to the ceiling. When she saw Lin Qiye's three-person team arriving, she immediately charged toward them at a terrifying speed. Steel-like spider silk弹射 within the room, instantly weaving into a massive spider web.
The three of them stopped simultaneously at the entrance to this room.
"Does she have the 'key' on her?"
Amemiya Haruki turned to look at Lin Qiye. He knew Lin Qiye had perception-type abilities and could locate the "key" from a great distance.
Lin Qiye's spiritual power swept over the Jorogumo, and he shook his head. "She doesn't have it..."
Amemiya Haruki's brow furrowed. At that moment, Lin Qiye spoke again, "However, the prophecy said 'beneath the statue of the Jorogumo.' This should refer to the base of her statue before she revived—that is, inside the wall, not the Jorogumo herself.
Within the gap in that wall, there's a 50-yen coin. I don't know if that's the so-called 'key,' but we have no other choice now."
"A 50-yen coin?" Wei Dong was stunned, as if remembering something. "I once read an obscure history of Japanese folklore. It was said that 50-yen coins carry people's wishes. If you toss one in the air and it lands with the chrysanthemum facing up, it means your wish can be fulfilled..."
"Let's try it first."
No sooner had he spoken than the Jorogumo shrieked. Countless threads of spider silk danced through the air, their surfaces actually emanating a cold, blade-like gleam. The surrounding walls were sliced open one after another, turning into countless fragments. A spider silk storm was brewing around the Jorogumo.
"What should we do now?" Wei Dong turned to look at Lin Qiye.
"You two buy me some time. I'll go get the coin." Lin Qiye's gaze fell on that wall. "There's too much spider silk here. You two don't have any space-type abilities to get through. Only I can go... This 'Mystery' is at the Klein realm. There's no need for us to clash head-on with it. Just hold out until I get back."
Hold off a Klein-realm Mystery?
Wei Dong felt a headache coming.
He was a "paratrooper" and simply didn't have the ability to fight a Mystery at such a high realm. After all, his usual missions were inside the Human Enclosure. With just a few pieces of equipment on him, it was nearly impossible for him to hold off a Klein-realm Jorogumo.
As for the other person, the Magatsu Blade master... He couldn't even wield the Magatsu Blade. Even if he risked damaging the blade permanently, he could only strike once. How was he supposed to buy time?
Amemiya Haruki seemed to think of something. He turned to look at Lin Qiye, hesitating as he spoke, "Then, what about I..."
"Maybe we can try that move we thought of before the ruins." Lin Qiye knew what he wanted to say and nodded. "This is the only thing we can do now."
Amemiya Haruki paused. "Alright."
Hearing their conversation, Wei Dong was completely lost. But the situation didn't allow him to think much. Countless threads of spider silk were already flying toward them!
Without hesitation, he hurled the pixel grenade in his hand directly ahead. As the pixel grenade exploded, large swaths of spider silk were turned into dissipating pixels. At the same time, Lin Qiye's figure transformed into a streak of night and vanished, rapidly flickering toward the wall behind the Jorogumo!
Wei Dong only had one grenade. Although this blast destroyed most of the spider silk, as long as the Jorogumo was alive, the silk would continuously regenerate. A moment later, another wave of spider silk flew toward the two of them!
*Click.*
Amemiya Haruki's body微微下蹲, his palm resting on the hilt of the deep-blue long blade. His eyes were filled with gravity.
He only had one chance to strike.
Countless threads of spider silk radiated a cold, deadly gleam, silently slicing through the air. The fierce wind made Wei Dong's cheeks sting. With just a hair's width more, he would be shredded by the spider silk right in front of him. He instinctively stepped back, unable to help but shout at the Amemiya Haruki beside him:
"What are you waiting for?! If you don't swing now, we'll all die!"
The dancing spider silk cut off a strand of hair from Amemiya Haruki's temple. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes. With a soft sound, the Rainfall Collapse at his waist was unsheathed in an instant!
Endless rain poured from the scabbard, adhering to the deep-blue blade, condensing into a coiling, ferocious water dragon that circled around Amemiya Haruki.
"[Water Dragon Heaven Curtain]."
Amemiya Haruki spoke in a low voice. The deep-blue blade swept forward instantly. The water dragon behind him radiated a pale blue glow, howling as it charged toward the Jorogumo at the center of the spider silk storm!
Droplets of rain collided with the spider silk, producing sounds like clashing metal. The diffuse water vapor obscured Amemiya Haruki's figure, while the countless spider silk filling the space in front of him and Wei Dong shattered inch by inch!
*Whoosh—!*
At that moment, a flash of black and white light flickered beneath Amemiya Haruki's feet. The Rainfall Collapse in his hand, scabbard and all, seemed to be pulled by some powerful force and suddenly flew out of his grip!
Even though Amemiya Haruki had prepared for this, gripping the Rainfall Collapse tightly, it was completely useless against this mysterious force. He could only watch helplessly as the blade flew away from him, instantly vanishing into nothingness.
The Rainfall Collapse was gone.
Amemiya Haruki's heart jumped to his throat. He turned to look to the other side.
At this moment, Lin Qiye had already flickered behind the Jorogumo. He punched through the crumbling wall, debris scattering. His spiritual power locked onto a 50-yen coin dancing within, and he grabbed it in his palm, then turned to race back toward Amemiya Haruki and Wei Dong like a streak of night!
The Jorogumo seemed to sense something. She swiveled her target and looked toward Lin Qiye flickering between the dense spider silk, letting out another furious shriek!
Seeing hundreds of spider silk threads弹射 toward himself, Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly. He reached out and pressed against the void.
A magic array bloomed before him.
When the magical radiance faded, a deep-blue long blade was quietly held in his grasp.
It was precisely the Rainfall Collapse, the fourth of the Nine Magatsu Blades, which had just been seized by unknown forces!
[Summoning Magic].
Lin Qiye's figure rapidly shuttled through the spider silk. His right hand rested on the sword hilt at his waist and suddenly pulled, drawing the blade from its sheath!
"It's my turn..." Lin Qiye gripped the Rainfall Collapse, murmuring to himself. "[Water Dragon Heaven Curtain]!"
The deep-blue blade light mixed with endless rolling rain instantly pierced through all the spider silk surrounding Lin Qiye. The water droplets transformed into dragons, forcibly cutting out a path through the vapor!
