The Soul Strike of Two of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Oni Clan / Demon in the Flames

"Is this whole town full of enemies? Are there any things we need to be careful about in our fight?" Hoshiguma continued to press.

Talulah looked at Scout, who came out holding a small hand-drawn map.

"This is the general outline of the town. Because of the Herd, I dare not get too close to investigate."

Based on the intelligence gathered so far, the target's activity area is in this region, which is surrounded by Herd. Attacking this area would inevitably disturb the Herd.

As for the other living people in this town... they probably live in this area.

Although Scout claimed he hadn't gone in to scout, the level of detail in the map showed that he had put a lot of thought into the area.

"If that's the case, then it's simple."

Miss Alice, I need your help to stop the enemies coming out of the city.

As for this town, Suika and I will each lead half the men and launch a simultaneous raid from both sides to eliminate these people as quickly as possible.

Suika, are you sure you can separate those living people from this side?

Yuugi Hoshiguma stepped forward, took command, and shared his perspective.

"Um, the reason I called you guys here was because I wanted to slack off, but the task actually got heavier..."

After muttering something, Suika nodded in agreement.

"Then let's not delay any longer, let's set off!"

Compared to Suika, who's a "wait and see" type, Yuugi Hoshiguma is a true action-taker.

After making the plan, he decisively began preparations for action.

Talulah looked at Suika, her eyes questioning whether this Yuugi Hoshiguma was reliable.

Suika nodded

"Yugi's skill level is very high; I can't even compare to him in terms of strength, so you can rest assured."

Upon hearing Suika, whose power already surpasses comprehension, claim that she is not in a hurry to catch up with Yuugi Hoshiguma in terms of strength, Talulah couldn't help but sigh that Suika's hometown was truly a place of outstanding people and resources.

Chapter 354 Poxi from the Second of the Oni Four Heavenly Kings

After leaving the cave, some people quickly arrived at a place not far from the town.

Meanwhile, in the town, Alex and Sasha were having a heated argument.

This argument has happened several times already.

The reason is quite simple: Eno.

It turns out that a month ago, one of Alex's partners suffered an acute Oripathy, and when they were at their wits' end, Eno said he could help suppress the illness.

So Alex delivered the man into Eno's hands.

The illness was brought under control, but Alex discovered that the man had lost his thoughts and reason, and had become a member of the Herd.

Alex found this unacceptable and incomprehensible.

Although that person was not his relative or friend, he was a comrade-in-arms. They had originally planned to join the Reunion Movement, but because he felt that the Reunion Movement's ideology was too weak, he persuaded them to stay together in the New Reunion Movement, which advocated using iron and blood to carve out a living space for the Infected.

However, this advice turned him into a living dead without him even realizing it. Although Eno kept saying that he discovered during treatment that the other party was a spy for the Reunion Movement, Alex could not accept this explanation.

He originally wanted to talk to the other party to get some answers, but the other party had hidden in the Herd and hadn't been seen for several days, so he could only come to Sasha, Eno's childhood friend. But Sasha said that Eno had his reasons for doing what he did.

Upon hearing this, Alex was furious, and the two immediately erupted into a heated argument.

"I've figured it out. The New Reunion Movement is not the righteous army you claim to be fighting against the corrupt old system for the rights of the Infected. It's just Herd production machine that Mephisto keeps for himself."

"And you, Sasha, are merely a tool and accomplice for him to stabilize the morale of us living soldiers!"

Alex truly loathed Ursus; to be precise, there wasn't a single Infected in Ursus who didn't loathe Ursus's oppressive system against the Infected.

Young, ambitious, and self-assured individuals, when faced with the starkly contrasting slogans of the Reunion Movement and the New Reunion Movement, will undoubtedly lean towards the New Reunion Movement, which emphasizes force.

But it was precisely this choice that led to the deaths of many young and middle-aged Infected.

After all, the New Reunion Movement doesn't have the same kind of remedy as the Reunion Movement, and Mephisto's treatment...

He wasn't wrong; he could indeed prevent Oripathy from dying from the Oripathy. But compared to the living dead, I think most people, if they truly knew their fate, would still choose death.

The more they argued, the more disheartened Alex became, wondering if he had made the wrong choice, and whether the New Reunion Movement could actually achieve what they claimed.

But he was somewhat unwilling to join the Reunion Movement.

Just then, two gales, each hundreds of meters long, pierced through the air like two sharp swords from the left and right, into the area where Mephisto was located on the other side of the town.

Faust instinctively prepared to lead his men to provide support, but before he and his stealth sniper squad could act, towering flames suddenly erupted from the ground.

The flames were like an insurmountable chasm, brutally dividing the area where Mephisto and the Herd lived from the area where the normal people lived.

Some skeptics thought the rootless fire was an illusion or a mirage, but as soon as they entered, they were instantly engulfed in flames, burning to a pile of charred remains before they could even scream.

This completely stunned Sasha, who was following behind trying to break through the wall of fire to rescue people.

The only option is to bypass the firewall and go to Mephisto's aid from a more distant location.

Meanwhile, in the town, Suika, carrying a large tree, charged ahead at the forefront.

With its superhuman strength and the tree's attack range of over ten meters, it can easily sweep away a large area with a single wave of its hand, just like a sanitation worker sweeping up fallen leaves in autumn.

Behind her, Hoshiguma held a shield in one hand and carried an unconscious woman on her back with the other.

The woman was a patrol squad from the New Reunion Movement whom I had bumped into by chance before entering.

The original plan was to eliminate them all, but Suika, upon seeing the leader, decided to spare her life.

Lyudmila led a patrol team, idly walking along the mountain path.

In her opinion, there was no need for her people to do this kind of thing at all, since patrolling was pointless with that guy Mephisto and his Herd around.

The reason she came out was that she saw Alex go to Faust again, and the thought of the two arguing again gave her a headache, so she chose to patrol and stay away from the crowd.

Suddenly she heard a series of light, hurried footsteps that didn't belong to her squad.

Then a sense of foreboding rushed to her head, and she instinctively prepared to use Originium Arts to conceal herself.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and then he lost consciousness.

"Good senses, she almost discovered us. Hoshiguma, help me get her here, but remember, don't let her die."

Suika handed the unconscious Lyudmila to Hoshiguma.

While she was knocking Lyudmila unconscious, the rest of the patrol was also eliminated.

After contacting Yuugi Hoshiguma and confirming that both had arrived at the designated location, Suika and Yuugi simultaneously used Mount Oe Tempest.

The raging hurricane ripped everything in its path; houses and Herd were instantly destroyed in the blast.

Then, Suika cast [Ultra-High-Density Phosphorus Calamity Art] on the location of the living people and the Herd.

Under her deliberate control, the flames perfectly blocked Mephisto's path of communication with the others.

Then, both sides simultaneously moved along the path violently cleared by the Mount Oe Tempest towards the target location.

Less than ten minutes later, the two teams met again at the front door outside Mephisto's house.

Yuugi Hoshiguma glanced at Suika. Although he had never held back, Suika, that drunkard, probably wanted to get a beating for using the Mount Oe Tempest Suika front of the real Suika.

"Wait, there's a problem here."

Just as everyone was about to storm into the building, Scout glanced at the readings on his device, his expression changed, and he stopped them.

"The equipment I brought shows that the concentration of Originium particles here is more than five times the normal level."

And these Originium particles..."

Scout looked at the quiet house in front of him, his meaning clear.

"There's a trap inside? Then we won't go in!" As a representative of someone who's incredibly strong and can throw bricks, Yuugi Hoshiguma said that breaking out of the current situation couldn't be simpler.

If the other side sets up a stage and still tries to resist, then just overturn the stage.

The two sides are mortal enemies, not like the spell cards in Gensokyo. Only a fool would choose not to use an easy method and instead blindly dive into the other's scheme.

Chapter 355 The Demon in the Flames

Yuugi Hoshiguma looked at Suika and pointed to the eerie-looking building.

"Shall we do it, or should we?"

Suika sighed.

"You know, I called you guys over, but in the end, I still had to do everything myself. It's such a rip-off."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a large hand slapped the back of her head.

"You called me over with something so simple, saying there was big trouble. I'm being lenient by not teaching you a lesson."

Hoshiguma snatched the Ibuki Gourd from Suika with a huff, gulped down two mouthfuls, and then tossed it back to her.

"Here I come!"

As Yuugi Hoshiguma finished speaking, his eyes shone with a scarlet light. He clenched his fists and looked at the houses not far away before Suika grabbed him.

"Never mind, I'll do it!"

Seeing Yuugi Hoshiguma's appearance, Suika worried that she was exerting too much force and would cause the house and the hill behind it to collapse, so she decisively backed down and chose to handle it herself.

Then Suika looked at the house and took a deep breath—Fire Release: Flame Dragon Song Technique.

The scorching flames spewed from Suika's mouth and quickly enveloped the entire house.

The intense heat caused everyone except Yuugi Hoshiguma and Talulah to instinctively take a step back.

But in this situation, the entire room was deathly silent, as if no one was there at all.

"Nobody's here?" Talulah incredulously.

"There were people inside before... it seems they escaped using some method!"

Yuugi Hoshiguma stepped on the ground, but the tremors did not reveal any underground passage beneath her feet.

"Perhaps it's Originium Arts... He can do that too?" Although Suika remembered that Mephisto didn't have any Originium Arts related to teleportation, just because he couldn't do it didn't mean others couldn't.

The New Reunion Movement has existed for so long, who knows, maybe he'll actually encounter one?

As Suika had guessed, Mephisto, or more accurately, the immortal the Black Snake, discovered an Originium Arts user who could teleport several people for up to five kilometers.

However, this Originium Arts consumes a lot of the user's life force, and each use will increase the concentration of Originium in the body.

Upon learning this news, he manipulated Mephisto to convert him into a member of his Herd.

Mephisto's Originium Arts kept him under constant control.

Just now, the unease he felt after having Mephisto cover the area with his Originium Arts had not been properly released.

The main problem was that those two terrifying shockwaves were too bizarre and unusual.

The power of that shot, almost equivalent to a full-power shot from the main gun of a heavy fortress, made him feel that the house could not protect him at all.

So when Suika unleashed her fire, facing the towering flames, he didn't hesitate to control the people beside him to use their teleportation abilities to evacuate himself and the Herd around him.

After he left, he turned back and looked back at the house where he had just been.

In just a few seconds, it turned into a sea of fire, making his heart pound several times.

"Talulah?" I did see her from the Herd outside the door, and I also spotted several Reunion Movement cadres among the attackers.

But the two who made the first move...

Firstly, even the last time they met Ibuki Suika didn't make him feel this utterly powerless.

The other one was even worse; just one look from him made him feel like he was being watched by a demon from hell, and that he might die a horrible death at any moment.

Where did the Reunion Movement find these monsters?

Koschei cursed inwardly as he led his men and fled first.

As for his good friend Faust, the others, and the Herd, he paid them no heed.

After all, as long as Mephisto is alive, he can rebuild his Herd.

As for Faust, he is indeed a very useful person, but unfortunately he is currently preoccupied with his own problems and cannot take Faust with him when he leaves.

Meanwhile, poor Faust was still trying to bypass the wall of fire and enter the town center to rescue Mephisto, unaware that the latter had already escaped.
