One Thousand Years of Death, Triple Strike!
Chapter 35: I Subdued Black Snake!
Talk your motherf*cking talk!
Just watch me do it!
Three successive phantoms struck the same wound from the previous thrust, inflicting even more agonizing pain on the existing scar!
"Hmph hmph~ Ah ah ah ah—!!!"
The pain of four consecutive backyard blossoms made even Black Snake, an existence of longevity, cry out in agony.
Originium Arts with guaranteed hits were rare, but not once-in-a-lifetime.
Originium Arts that harmed spirits were scarce, but they did exist.
Originium Arts that harmed people from a distance were even more common; those that purely affected oneself were the minority.
For Black Snake, these three types of Originium Arts were not a big deal.
It had seen Khan's cavalrymen stomp the earth, heard the metallic clash of their weapons, loud enough to flatten mountains and divert rivers, and heard the sharp cries of Nightmare Kheshigs' scimitars scraping against skulls.
It had seen tens of thousands of Rus warriors annihilated into bloody mud by naval cannons, and seen the once-invincible Gallic Empire dismembered into ruins.
Its status as an existence of longevity had given it a wealth of experience.
Even Patriot, who was regarded as a father figure by Reunion Movement, was just a small child in its eyes.
As time passed, there was nothing left in this world that could affect its mood.
Its humanity continuously eroded with time.
Now, it was infinitely close to a god.
It had thought this world would become increasingly boring, but reality slapped it in the face.
Only when Luo Su raised his kunai and locked onto the chrysanthemum did it realize how twisted this world could become, to the point of being utterly unrecognizable.
"Don't underestimate the bond between me and Naruto!!!"
Luo Su roared, holding his kunai high.
This ultimate wheelchair user clearly intended to just stand there, repeating his combat skills until all his power was drained!
How could such an abstract and sinister Originium Art exist in this world?!
"Die!!!"
The existence of longevity, possessing the power of two Inner Guards, roared in fury. It had actually always considered recruiting Luo Su, but that kunai was simply too sinister. Even if it had to endure the pain, it would erase Luo Su, this menace, from Ursus!
But, just as the serpent's tail was about to whip towards Luo Su's body, flames and frost shattered the giant snake's spiritual tail!
It was FrostNova and Talulah!
They were the two members of Reunion Movement with the best relationship with Luo Su.
Talulah even quite liked Luo Su... ignoring the fact that Luo Su called her a tomboy.
Luo Su had helped them awaken Black Snake, and they would absolutely not allow Luo Su to be attacked by Black Snake.
In Black Snake's view, the attacks of these two young children were not very significant—their Originium Arts were both biased towards the material. If it weren't for the inherently mystical nature of Originium, they probably wouldn't have been able to harm it.
But, fatally, accompanying FrostNova and Talulah's stance, Patriot also raised the war axe in his hand.
He was already hostile towards Black Snake; it was only Black Snake's threats that had made him temporarily stop.
Now, he was also joining the battle!
Unlike growing hero units like FrostNova and Talulah, Patriot was a complete hero unit.
Damn it!
Black Snake's beastly face in mid-air was full of rage.
It had never been so disheveled in its life.
But, it couldn't continue to retaliate—Patriot had already joined the battlefield.
He had crossed the battlefields of Kazdel, killing countless.
He had crushed Kazimierz's Silver Knights, undefeated in battle.
He had slaughtered the Thousand-Eyed, Hundred-Handed monsters, repelling enemies beyond the pass.
This guy was a genuine epic hero, and he definitely knew how to deal with spirits.
If it insisted on continuing the fight, the result would only be its death under siege!
At this moment, even Black Snake could no longer maintain any noble demeanor; its entire serpentine form fled like a stray dog towards the distance.
Only—
"Your Excellency wouldn't think you can escape just like that, would you?!"
At this, Luo Su sneered.
He had given up Valon's invitation to this party precisely to deal with this venomous snake; if it escaped, wouldn't that be a huge loss?!
Luo Su directly snatched Patriot's war axe, tied the kunai to the tail end of the war axe—the area where it was held—and, with a look of fear on Patriot's face, grabbed the weapon, which had almost no connection to the kunai, and thrust it fiercely upwards!
The next moment, the kunai, carrying the war axe, thrust wildly upwards.
Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology, wielded a divine spear named Gungnir.
Gungnir was forged by dwarves at the command of the dwarf blacksmith Dvalin. The spear's ability was quite simple yet powerful: "Once thrown, it will always hit its target." It was a divine spear that never missed.
It is said that the Viking tradition of commanders first throwing a spear at the enemy during battle originated from this.
Gungnir represented fate.
And the weapon in Luo Su's hand also possessed the power of fate!
Pseudo. God's Declaration. Triple Strike!!!
The spiritual body of Black Snake, which was fleeing, twitched violently as if electrocuted.
This time, it was attacked not by a mere kunai, but also by Patriot's war axe. That war axe had been with Patriot since he was a field commander; it was the highest armament of the empire, and its design had clearly considered situations involving spirits.
It wanted to escape, but being attacked by a kunai and being attacked by a war axe over three meters long were two different concepts. The intense pain almost caused its thoughts to become chaotic.
And this was a good time for Luo Su's own Originium Arts to take effect.
The Tiger Talisman glowed madly. With the aid of that talisman, Luo Su's Originium Arts and combat achievements were simultaneously released without conflict!
Escape and confrontation.
The two swapped places.
The mentally near-collapsed Black Snake actually charged towards Patriot. Patriot, without his war axe, narrowed his eyes, grabbed his heavy shield, and slammed it fiercely into the massive snake head.
Synchronously, Luo Su once again raised that bizarre "kunai"!
Combat Skill. Six-Hit Combo!
In front was Patriot's heavy shield charge, behind was the false God's Declaration.
The double agony intensely tormented Black Snake's nerves. The vision of this evil demon, who fancied itself a chess player and the will of a nation, turned blank.
Under the endless sky, the schemer fell.
It lay in the mud of the Northern Waste.
Like an old dog with a broken spine.
"Heh, trash."
Amidst the terrified expressions of the Reunion Movement members, Luo Su unhurriedly untied the kunai from the war axe, walked to the fallen Black Snake's spirit, and inserted the spirit-binding kunai into its body.
With a 'ding', the spirit-binding kunai glowed red, flashed a few times, and then turned a calm white.
"I've subdued Black Snake!!!"
Like an idiot, Luo Su held up the kunai in his hand, his face bright.
PS: PY
Synopsis: In two different Honkai Worlds, a light screen appeared before everyone's eyes.
In the world without the Captain—Kiana successfully became a Herrscher, Murata Himeko died in battle, and the Great Honkai caused tens of millions of deaths and displacement.
In the world with the Captain—Otto's conspiracy was thwarted, everyone at St. Freya was safe, and the Great Honkai triggered by the Herrscher of the Void was completely suppressed.
In the world without the Captain—Kiana was covered in wounds, Mei was forced to choose domestic violence, and Bronya was constantly getting frustrated.
In the world with the Captain—everyone was steadily growing, and no one was forced to leave their companions.
In the world without the Captain—Otto schemed against St. Freya, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, playing everyone like puppets.
In the world with the Captain—Otto's conspiracy was resolved by the Captain.
Original Otto: "Good thing I don't have this man here, otherwise my plans would be completely ruined."
Original Kiana: "Himeko Sensei, don't die... Damn it, why don't we have a Captain here."
People in Captain's World: "Ah, would we really be so miserable without the Captain..."
Original Kevin: "Find that man. If he truly has the ability to defeat Honkai—the Stigmata Project can go to hell!"
Chapter 36: Luo Su: I actually finished a mission?
Shortly before crossing over, Luo Su saw the idiot finish his journey.
He was slightly emotional at the time.
My youth is over.
Luo Su held the kunai that had bound Black Snake's soul, feeling his youth return.
Watching an idiot be a Pokémon Master was not as satisfying as being one himself.
Yeah!
It's decided. After the Wallfacer Conference, I'm going to order five more spirit-binding kunai and become a Pokémon Master!
Luo Su's mood was unprecedentedly bright.
But, at the starting point of his journey to become a Pokémon Master, there was no applause at all.
Damn it, I'm the man who subdued the national will of Ursus, or at least a clone of Ursus's national consciousness, right from the start!
I'm definitely going to be a champion in the future.
Luo Su felt a bit indignant and looked back at the Reunion Movement members beside him. He then noticed that everyone, from Talulah to FrostNova, and from FrostNova to Patriot, and then to the shield guards, were all silent. If they weren't colored, one might even think they were a collection of sculptures.
Upon noticing Luo Su looking at them, several non-elite Reunion Movement strongmen, who were only strong enough to carry cargo, even started trembling... [Ding—Talulah's fear of you has greatly increased]
[Ding—Patriot's fear of you has increased]
[Ding—FrostNova's fear of you has greatly increased]
[Your reputation within Reunion Movement has reached 'No One Dares Disobey'. As long as no fundamental conflict arises, Reunion Movement will absolutely not betray you... They truly don't have the guts.]
The combat skill from the prompter, when used in conjunction with the war axe, had a world-shaking presence.
"Ahem, everyone, don't be so serious. We just defeated Black Snake; we should smile more."
Luo Su walked to the opposite side of Reunion Movement, coughed twice, and gestured for everyone to cheer up.
As if someone had a knife to their throats, the members of Reunion Movement let out a very forced laugh.
Tsk—
Luo Su clicked his tongue.
Then, he returned to his residence, unenthusiastically, and opened the Chat Group.
"Family, what an utterly speechless event. I helped Reunion Movement take down a boss, and they didn't even applaud."
Luo Su selectively revealed information, complaining.
