Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 359: Throne of Thorns (IV)
She passed through the group of heroic spirits, bringing up ribbon-like sword lights. Every heroic spirit fell lightly as they passed by her, but not a single drop of blood could touch her.
Fighting was never something she liked, but now that she was on her way to the final battlefield, she inexplicably wanted to eat some hot dumplings... Maybe it was because the sound of chopping these guys was so pleasant? Taking away lives was no longer a matter of fear, but to some extent, it could be considered an enjoyment.
The last Heroic Spirit was also split into two, and the bridge almost completely collapsed. Only Odin was left standing at the end of the bridge, and the figure approaching him at high speed. Sleipnir pawed the ground restlessly, with lightning debris spitting out of his nose. Odin slowly raised the mythical Gungnir.
It was not thrown out, but rather a sword-holding posture. The overall shape of the spear was more like a bent branch, with a sharp tip and flat sides. In Odin's hand, it should have been a lance charging spear, but at this moment, the sword-holding posture was more like preparing to use it as a close combat sword.
Lu Mingfei was very familiar with this action. Chu Zihang held the sword in that way, a correct two-handed grip in Japanese swordsmanship. Although bamboo swords were used when teaching Japanese swords in the Children's Palace, this stance with an obvious rigid style was definitely their first choice for showing off, to brag about being an authentic Japanese swordsman.
Sure enough, the person under the mask was Chu Zihang. Although Odin's mask was controlled by Odin's consciousness, it was also affected by the owner of the body. This is why Odin would constantly choose stronger bodies. It was like some kind of parasitic learning.
Sleipnir roared and charged forward. Every time his eight legs stepped on the ground, it sounded like the sound of a war drum. Odin held Gungnir at an angle to his side, using his own and Sleipnir's huge bodies to conceal the direction of his attack.
This is called the hidden sword, an assassination-type sword technique. For those who can swing the sword very quickly, this method is extremely effective. When the blade appears in front of the opponent, the attack is also coming, and the enemy's reaction time will be very short.
As expected of Chu Zihang’s version of Odin, it felt like I was practicing with him again… This sense of familiarity made Lu Mingfei smile faintly, and she didn’t think this was a life-and-death battle at all.
Gungnir and Floating Light are now exactly the same length, but the collision of the two weapons hardly makes any sound. Floating Light itself is still the length of a sword, but the layers of light covering it make the blade infinitely magnified.
Odin's riding skills are extremely superb. Sleipnir has no reins, only stirrups, but it can cooperate with Odin perfectly at will. Every time they meet, they face the enemy sideways, just like ancient cavalry against infantry. Sleipnir 's steps are quite steady, which makes Odin always have an absolute advantage from top to bottom.
This made Lu Mingfei's fight particularly difficult. Although it seemed that everyone was evenly matched, the last broken bridge under her feet was gradually broken with each clash of swords. With a body and weapon as big as Odin , the potential energy alone was already amazing, not to mention that Chu Zihang's sword itself was outstanding in speed and momentum.
Sleipnir suddenly roared and leaped up, and Odin responded with a heavy chop, forcing Lu Mingfei to concentrate on dealing with it. Sleipnir's shadow had now enveloped Lu Mingfei. From this angle, one could see the armor covering its belly, and the four front legs that were rising in the air.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei realized one thing. Her opponent was not only Odin, but also the warhorse! The mutated creature was not only Odin's iconic mount, but also one of his weapons!
The heavy iron hoof landed on Lu Mingfei's head, accompanied by the dancing of golden thunder, and the last broken bridge collapsed under Sleipnir's trampling. Odin did not continue to attack, because in his opinion, his opponent should have been dead. Sleipnir weighed more than 10,000 tons, and a half-blood would turn into blood foam if stepped on by such a thing.
An incredible force burst out under Sleipnir's iron hoof. At first, it was just the heavy body of the warhorse that was gradually lifted up. Later, a pair of majestic wings suddenly spread out from it. Until finally, Odin could see clearly what it was. It was both a demon and an angel. The body covered with lush scales was a perfect dragon body. The majestic horns and strong muscles were flawless. The face no longer resembled Lu Mingfei's original appearance. It was closer to the face in Odin's ancient memory, the face of Nidhogg.
Lu Mingfei slowly lifted Sleipnir up on his hind legs like a giant carrying Tarzan, and finally exerted force suddenly, sending the mountain-like warhorse flying.
Surprisingly, it did not fall into the river. Sleipnir rolled in the sky with Odin on its back. After a few rounds, it lost its strength and walked lightly in the air with its eight legs, regaining its balance. Lightning exploded under Sleipnir's feet like a carpet to set off their beauty.
In mythology, Sleipnir is also known as the divine Pegasus. The original meaning of this name is that it can fly without the help of wings. Like the dragons, it can control the element of wind by nature.
Lu Mingfei leaped up, and Sleipnir charged towards her in the sky. Before Odin could swing Gungnir, the black dragon was already in front of him. The mutated dragon creature was not yet a dragon, and in terms of speed, Sleipnir was no match for Lu Mingfei.
The sculpted claws tightly grasped Gungnir. Lu Mingfei tried to take away Odin's deadly weapon. He was only using Gungnir as a sword. What if he suddenly chose to throw it? Odin held Gungnir tightly and continued to push it forward, trying to continue the incomplete slash.
In the end, Odin had the upper hand because he used his head as a weapon, and the long horns on the eagle helmet mask were extremely sharp. He used his head to attack just like Chu Zihang did in the past, without any deity's demeanor. This forced Lu Mingfei to let go of Gungnir, and the slashes that she didn't have time to swing came one after another. Lu Mingfei flapped her wings and dodged sideways. Gungnir brought a cold scarlet light and rubbed along her dragon scales to create an amazing slash.
That was simply not something that could be achieved with Gungnir's length. The red slash, like a sword wind, flew out for more than ten kilometers in one breath, cutting a hole in the river, revealing the riverbed covered with silt and aquatic plants. Within a few seconds, a huge amount of river water flowed back into the cut vacuum, creating a powerful attraction similar to a whirlpool. The ships staying on the river bank were pulled over and dragged into the riverbed and could no longer be seen.
We should be thankful that this happened in Nibelung. If it were in the real world, with the destructive power of this kind of slash, the entire city would be beyond rescue in just a few strikes.
Odin's eyes were completely blood red. Not long ago, he had golden pupils, but now they were like a ferocious beast, as was Sleipnir. This feeling was a bit like the second stage of a boss battle. Perhaps it was Lu Mingfei's transformation into Jackie Chan that stimulated him. That was the ultimate he had always dreamed of, but he had spent so many years seeking it but could not get it. Seeing this power bloom perfectly in another person was somewhat enviable.
Sleipnir roared again, and the thick black clouds in the sky gathered like a vortex, and pale lightning mixed with thunder swirled. Countless flocks of ravens flew in from somewhere, lingering in the sky, cawing and making people feel annoyed.
Lightning fell from the sky like a pale meteor and hit Odin directly, but it did not cause him any harm. Both his and Sleipnir's armor evolved in this lightning strike, completely shrouded in dazzling white light, along with the Gungnir.
Odin slowly raised Gungnir, this time not holding a sword, but like a knight holding his battle flag high. Hundreds of thunderbolts in the sky were drawn by Gungnir and attacked him. Every roar of thunder would cover the spear with more lightning and increase its length. In a few blinks of an eye, it could no longer be called a spear, but could even be called the Tower of Babel. Lu Mingfei looked up and could not see how high Gungnir was. It seemed that the thing could even pierce the sky, and its apex was above the unreachable sky. The whole sky was lit up by Gungnir's red lightning, and the ravens circled and sang, chanting Odin's great name.
The so-called myth is an existence beyond imagination. No one can determine how powerful Gungnir is at this moment. If the law of causality itself is cheating, then this length and weight are completely overwhelming physical capabilities that are beyond the reach of others.
The towering tower collapsed, and the whole world was illuminated by the red flames, because Odin took action. Even at such a long distance, Gungnir brought up a traction gale the moment he moved.
Everything around was swept up, a huge amount of river water rose into the air, the ruins of the bridge and rubble rose like a siphon, and Lu Mingfei seemed to be unconsciously moving towards the track cut by Gungnir. The power of causality and the power of physical chopping were activated at the same time. This attack was bound to hit. You will be hit because I launched the attack. There is no possibility of dodging in between. The concept of cause and effect was completely reversed in front of Gungnir.
Wherever Gungnir swept, even the air was condensed, and gray cracks spread all the way down along the sky. Wherever it went was a symbol of death. Even its own red light was obscured by the aura of absolute suppression. Only a few leaking lightning could escape that law. The mythical weapon was fast and powerful, but it was never faster than the speed of light.
Lu Mingfei seemed to have seen the thread hidden in the darkness. There was a thread called fate connecting Gungnir and his own heart. The gun would be pulled by this thread and hit where it should go at an absolutely perfect angle.
In fact, many people in history have faced this kind of situation, but no one has ever survived. No one knows whether the cheating weapon came from the real World Tree, but they only know that it has never failed.
With his wings striking the air, Lu Mingfei soared into the sky, facing the strong wind that was blowing down from the sky. Since there was no way to avoid it, he might as well let fate come early. Watching it befall him was definitely not Gamer's style!
She caught the light that almost cut through the sky and earth! Odin used slashing instead of throwing. Gungnir's side was flat, but it was only the size of a branch after all, and it was not as sharp as a sword specially used for slashing. The risk of being caught bare-handed was not as great as imagined.
Lu Mingfei tightly grasped Gungnir, feeling the weight as heavy as the mountains in her palm. Her dragon-shaped claws withered visibly quickly, first losing their color, and then becoming as fragile as carbonized. This strange death was not even painful, but it allowed people to see with their own eyes what the most desperate death was like.
Odin was more than a thousand meters away from her, and the look in his eyes under his helmet was grim and indifferent, just like the boy who used to keep people at a distance, quietly appreciating the arrival of death.
Lu Mingfei stared at Odin from a distance, the scarlet lightning pierced her dragon scales, but she showed no fear. Many things in her life flashed by like a passing moment. Perhaps this thing is called a last flicker of light. She was thinking of things that happened many years ago, and she remembered that at that time there was no darkness of rain and raging torrents.
Naturally, if that day hadn't happened, she wouldn't have recognized Chu Zihang, still the one with pigtails and black-framed glasses who had little presence in Shilan Middle School. At that time, her seat was at the back and she was lucky enough to be by the window. During every break, when her classmates gathered in groups of three or five, she had no one to accompany her and could only turn her head and look out the window from afar.
Directly opposite the window is the building of the grade above. There is also a pair of eyes there that are always looking out the window, but Lu Mingfei is looking at the owner of those eyes, while that person is always looking up at the clear sky. It is obvious that it is a break between classes.
I am bored, lonely, and isolated from the world, so I look for places where there are no people. What about you? What are you looking at? There is nothing interesting in the sky of Shilan Middle School, just like the sky everywhere in the world. Occasionally, two chirping swallows fly by and stay under the eaves for a while, which is probably the best reward, but there is nothing good to say.
Maybe everyone is like this when they are young. What they care about most is not the dazzling child from another family in the class, but they will walk through the bustling crowd and quietly see another similar self, imagining his mystery and her secret that no one knows.
