Chapter 365: Wrath of the Soul Type Player
Seeing this scene, Iwanaga Kotoko endured the pain and reminded them,
"Their mental resistance is very low!"
"Holy Light!"
Yamauchi Sakura raised the staff in her hand, sweeping holy attribute light across the group of blood-men.
However, Holy Light was still only a primary skill of the Priest class. Facing a fourth stage Dungeon, even if the enemies were only the lowest level mobs, it could only cause a negligible burning effect, barely forcing the monsters back for a moment.
"That's enough."
Taking advantage of the opening Yamauchi Sakura had created, Asagiri slowly closed his eyes.
In the distance, Human Asura's body transformed into streaks of dark red patterns and attached itself to his body.
When he opened his eyes again, the golden light in his pupils even briefly banished the surrounding scarlet moonlight.
"Human Asura Mode."
The moment he entered Human Asura Mode, the mental pressure released by Asagiri became even more intense.
In the next second, a truly astonishing scene unfolded.
As his golden gaze swept across them, the group of blood-men monsters exploded one after another.
The rain of blood that filled the sky and their piercing screams converged together. Even the red moon hanging above seemed to dim slightly at that moment.
"Done."
Seeing Asagiri standing before the rain of blood, and hearing his slightly smiling, relaxed tone, the four girls, Iwanaga Kotoko, Kato Megumi, Yuuki Asuna, and Yamauchi Sakura, could not help showing looks of disbelief.
Wasn't this ridiculously strong?
Although the weakness of these blood-men monsters was their mental resistance, one had to know that the passive effect of the special class Unrestrained Tyrant was originally only supposed to create pressure.
According to the system's description, it did not possess any attack capability.
However, the mental pressure emitted by Asagiri had directly destroyed the minds of the blood-men monsters, causing them to collapse in a physical sense.
What a terrifying ability was that?
When Asagiri used the passive effect of Unrestrained Tyrant, he did not even need to consume mental energy or stamina.
Rather than calling it an ability, it was more accurate to say that it was simply his passive aura once he entered a combat state.
It was practically a god tier skill for clearing mobs.
...
Ten minutes later, at the edge of an area in Kyoto City covered in dark red blood vessels.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Hearing the heartbeat-like sound and looking at the dark red blood vessels covering the ground and the surfaces of nearby buildings, constantly rising and falling as if the creature they were connected to was breathing, Yuuki Asuna gripped the hilt of her sword.
Vigilance appeared in her eyes as she looked at Iwanaga Kotoko beside her and asked in a low voice,
"Necro, do you sense anything?"
Iwanaga Kotoko shook her head. She looked at the blood vessels on the ground and spoke softly.
"The entire area is emitting an extremely strong Cursed aura. It feels like being locked in a room filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant. Even if there is a clear smell of blood in the air, it becomes impossible to notice in time because of the overwhelming disinfectant smell. My perception has been temporarily blocked."
"There's no other way."
Asagiri gripped the Rope Dart of Deathly Grievance, which had slid down from his forearm into his right hand, and spoke softly.
"I'll fly up and observe from above first."
"Mm."
Kato Megumi advised gently,
"Be careful. After all, there are enemies that can fly."
"My beloved concubines, please set your hearts at ease."
Asagiri smiled and waved his hand. Looking at Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, Kato Megumi, and Yamauchi Sakura in front of him, he spoke with great momentum.
"Mere flying monsters, in my eyes, are nothing but people who have stuck price tags on their own heads!"
"Showing off again, aren't you? Anyway, be careful."
"OK."
Asagiri's body instantly rose to a height of nearly seventy meters.
From this perspective, he began to overlook the area below that had been occupied by red blood vessels.
Because they were inside the city, and various buildings blocked his view, he could not clearly see every corner.
"It seems I have to use that move..."
Asagiri himself did not possess any reconnaissance type abilities.
Just looking like this, he could not find the source of the Cursed phenomenon in this area, which was the location of the Heart.
Although he did not have that ability himself, he had a veteran Persona staff member who specialized in this field.
"Persona, Alice."
The moment Alice was summoned, her body began falling downward.
After all, she did not possess the ability to float in the air.
Fortunately, Asagiri was quick eyed and quick handed. He grabbed the back of her collar and held the petite Alice in the air like a rabbit.
"Can you see anything?"
Although Alice looked like a little girl, her essence was that of an extremely powerful and Cursed existence representing the Grim Reaper.
Even high in the sky, she wore a calm expression. One hand held the teddy bear that was still constantly telling dirty jokes, while her other hand pointed toward a certain place in the area.
"Big brother, there is an extremely strong Cursed reaction over there."
"Is that the source..."
Just as Asagiri said this, Alice's little hand, which had been pointing into the distance, suddenly shifted toward another direction.
"Big brother, it appeared over there."
Hearing Alice's words, Asagiri could not help frowning slightly.
It was not that a second extremely strong Cursed reaction had appeared.
Rather, that Cursed reaction had instantly appeared in a different position.
Something like that, crossing a distance of several kilometers in an instant, was something even he could not do.
And wasn't the Heart located in the underground station?
Why could it move on its own?
While thinking, Asagiri landed back on the ground and told Yuuki Asuna and the others what he had seen.
"A source that can instantly change its position..."
Hearing Asagiri's words, Yamauchi Sakura's expression became somewhat heavy.
However, Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi, who had experienced several difficult Dungeons, remained calm.
Although the current situation seemed tricky, this was what could truly be called the difficulty of a fourth stage Dungeon.
"There is too little information."
Iwanaga Kotoko said this first, then looked at Asagiri.
"We must first confirm what that Cursed source is, and by what means it changes position. Otherwise, we can't think of an effective countermeasure."
When she said this, Iwanaga Kotoko revealed a sweet, cute smile and looked at Asagiri.
"None of us can fly, so we can only rely on you, Captain~"
"Did I form a team with four Groudons?"
Asagiri first chuckled and complained, then summoned Hat Mita and had her stay beside Yuuki Asuna and the others.
This was to make use of the fact that a Persona could communicate with him telepathically, allowing Hat Mita to serve as a long distance communication device in a situation where all modern equipment had been blocked.
Immediately afterward, he picked up Alice again and rose high into the air.
Before flying toward the direction of the Cursed reaction, he left behind one sentence.
"You all wait here. I'm going to buy you some oranges, and I'll be back soon."
...
Meanwhile, on a street within the area, a dozen or so Players stood in the middle, looking at the samurai holding katanas and wearing ancient armor who surrounded them.
Heavy expressions could not help appearing on their faces.
"If this goes on, we'll be dragged to death..."
The leading male Player gritted his teeth.
His gaze crossed over the armored samurai evil spirits and landed on a figure standing on the roof of a building in the distance.
Under the illumination of the scarlet moonlight, that figure loomed faintly. She wore black light armor.
The male Player spoke in a deep voice.
"That guy might be the source. As long as we break through the encirclement and kill it, these summoned samurai should disappear."
"Heh, naive."
Just as the male Player finished speaking, one of the samurai evil spirits suddenly spoke.
Although it had an extremely terrifying and hideous appearance, the voice that came out of its mouth was a woman's.
"In this area... I am God! You are nothing but fragile mortals. Come! Be killed by me, and then become my... Ah!"
Halfway through the opponent's provocative speech, she suddenly let out a scream.
The dozen or so Players surrounded in the middle could not help being stunned.
They thought to themselves, she was just provoking and mocking them, so why did she suddenly sound like she had suffered an attack?
Had she gone crazy?
On the other side, Asagiri looked at the woman wearing black light armor.
She had long white hair, and like those blood-men monsters, dark red blood vessels appeared across the surface of her body.
His gaze swept over her right arm and the part of her shoulder he had cut off, and he spoke with slight regret.
"What a pity. I originally wanted to cut you in half right down the middle. I didn't expect your reaction speed to be quite fast."
"You guy..."
Scarlet bloodshot lines appeared in the White-haired Woman's eyes.
The blood vessels on the surrounding ground suddenly began to extend, quickly connecting to her severed arm.
Accompanied by a heartbeat-like sound, the missing parts of her body were repaired in an instant.
"Big brother, she is the source of the Cursed reaction."
Hearing Alice's words, Asagiri nodded.
He gripped the Rope Dart of Deathly Grievance in his hand and stared straight into the White-haired Woman's eyes, which were filled with resentment.
His tone was flat.
"Next time, I won't let you dodge."
"Heh... Hehehe..."
The White-haired Woman let out a chilling, eerie laugh. She stuck out her long tongue and licked her lips, then slowly spoke.
"The current me is invincible..."
"Martial Skill, Dragon Bullet."
Before the White-haired Woman could finish speaking, Asagiri had already approached rapidly.
He brought his palm, glowing with Holy Light, close to her head and directly activated the Martial Skill Dragon Bullet.
After a loud explosion, the White-haired Woman's entire head burst into fragments of blood.
"I just don't understand. What exactly are you pretending for?"
Just as Asagiri was about to unleash his holy attribute double fist barrage, a move he affectionately called Holy Light Ora Ora Ora, to pulverize the White-haired Woman's headless corpse, he heard a whistling sound from behind him.
"Clang!"
Seeing Asagiri dodge the katana slash by sidestepping, the White-haired Woman, whose head had already reformed, hid behind three red armored Rotten Warrior Evil Spirits conjured from the blood gushing out of her veins.
Then she mocked him with a voice bordering on madness.
"So weak!"
"Still pretending."
Hearing her taunt, Asagiri merely shook his head.
"A cowardly rat like you, who dares not fight one on one and even summons elite monsters, actually dares to show such an ugly face..."
Asagiri narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the White-haired Woman hiding behind the Rotten Warrior Evil Spirits.
An astonishingly terrifying power fluctuation erupted from him, even causing the surrounding gravel on the ground to crack.
"Congratulations. You have angered a seasoned Soulslike Player."
