Since the hill where the shrine is located is not that high, the entire process from Dalianji Suzuka's escape to Razen's pursuit took less than a few seconds.
In these few seconds, Dalianji Suzuka had already arrived at the foot of the mountain riding his homemade shikigami.
Of course, Luo Zhen, who was riding on the head of Beidou, arrived at the foot of the mountain from the shrine almost in the next moment.
In view of this, Luo Zhen saw it clearly.
I saw Dairenji Suzuka flying towards the truck parked at the foot of the mountain.
"That is... ?"
Luo Zhen frowned.
"truck?"
Natsume, who was also sitting on Beidou's head, was also startled.
Neither of them expected that Dalianji Suzuka would choose to escape, not to somewhere else, but to the truck that parked there at some unknown time.
but...
"That must be the last resort prepared by Dairenji Suzuka, right?"
Luo Zhen came to this conclusion very easily.
If this were not the case, Dalianji Suzuka would not have fled there so desperately.
Natsume seemed to have thought of this possibility and quickly spoke to Luo Zhen.
"Then let's stop her quickly!"
This is a very correct judgment.
Although I don't know what means Dalianji Suzuka has prepared, I also know that something that can be used by a national first-level onmyoji as a last resort is definitely not too ordinary.
In addition, Dalianji Suzuka is a researcher who is trying to get involved in taboos. If you think about it for a moment, it will make people think that what she prepared must be dangerous.
Therefore, the decision to stop Dalenji Suzuka was absolutely correct.
only...
"That's too late."
Luo Zhen said this bluntly.
It was indeed too late.
Taking advantage of this moment, Dalenji Suzuka had already jumped off the self-made shikigami and landed in front of the truck. Then he stopped running away and turned around directly, facing this way, with a look in his eyes as if he was ready to die.
Obviously, Dalianji Suzuka is preparing to make a last ditch effort.
"Autumn view."
Natsume looked at Luo Zhen, and called his name as if he was uneasy, but also as if he was enlightened.
"Let's go."
Luo Zhen stared closely at Suzuka Dalenji standing in front of the truck, and made such a decision calmly.
"Um."
Natsume nodded without hesitation.
"Beidou."
Luo Zhen lightly kicked Beidou under him, causing Beidou to let out a dragon roar in response. He swept over and reached the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Luo Zhen and Natsume jumped off Beidou's head together and landed in front of Dalianji Suzuka.
The two sides returned to a state of confrontation again, but it was different from the beginning. The initiative was completely controlled by Luo Zhen, and Suzuka Dalianji's ease had completely disappeared.
"Uh-huh..." Dalianji Suzuka was very explicit and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Did it actually turn out like this in the end?"
It was indeed Dalianji Suzuka who came to attack Luo Zhen with full confidence, but was forced to this point. This is indeed ironic.
"Darenji Suzuka." Natsume stepped forward, stared at Dalianji Suzuka, and said solemnly: "Please surrender, the winner has been decided."
Very Natsume-style persuasion.
Unfortunately, whether others will listen or not is another matter.
"Has the victory been decided?" The self-mockery on Dalenji Suzuka's face turned to sarcasm, and she said like this: "Who said that? The real show will be next!"
Saying this, Dalenji Suzuka took a step back towards the direction of the truck.
"You should know what my major is, right?"
Dalianji Suzuka asked this question with a forced smile.
However, Dalianji Suzuka did not just ask Luo Zhen and Natsume to answer, but gave the answer himself.
"My major is the study of the Imperial Style." Dalenji Suzuka said: "The Imperial Style compiled by Ye Guang is a militarized spell system that is both practical and powerful. It was originally prepared for use in war. .”
Since this is the case, if there is a military spell, there will naturally be military combat power.
What kind of combat power
"God formula."
Dalianji Suzuka's smile returned to its venomous look again.
"In addition to spells, Ye Guang also developed shikigami for military use."
Hearing these words, not only Natsume, but also Luo Zhen was shocked.
Because, the two of them had roughly guessed what the last resort prepared by Suzuka Dalenji was.
"stop!"
Natsume couldn't help but screamed.
"too late!"
Dairenji Suzuka roared back with a louder voice.
"As the descendants of Tsuchimikado Yakou, let me see the military shikigami developed by our legendary ancestors!"
Dalenji Suzuka sang a mantra to the truck behind her.
"Spell release! Come out! Earth Spider!"
When such an order fell from Dalianji Suzuka's mouth...
"Bang!"
With a strong crash, the container of the truck behind Suzuka Dalienji shook violently, and the top exploded like a burst.
On the top of the exploded container, a steel spike protruded from it, exposed to the air.
It was this steel spike that pierced through the container.
The container just seemed to be torn into pieces, with steel spikes protruding from the holes on the top, tearing it open.
Immediately, a monster appeared from inside.
It was a giant steel spider.
The first thing to be stabbed out from the container was the Iron Spider's feet.
It has a body made entirely of steel, and is about twice the size of a truck. There are machine cannons on both sides of the body. The spider's face is a ferocious iron face like a ghost, and there are also long hairs on its back. The upper body looks like an armored warrior.
The warrior wears old armor and a conical helmet with a dark golden five-pointed star engraved on the forehead.
Such a half-human, half-spider, ghost-like monster came out of the truck container and landed behind Suzuka Dalienji.
"Boom!"
The moment the huge body landed, the ground trembled slightly, causing a burst of thick smoke and dust.
Dalenji Suzuka, who summoned this steel spider, did not look back, but only showed a slightly twisted smile.
As for Luo Zhen, looking at this scene, his eyes sparkled.
As for Natsume's words, he just squeezed out a weak voice and revealed the other party's identity.
"..."
〈Armored Ghost Soldier〉.
It was a military shikigami that had been used by the military as armament half a century ago. Although it was a man-made type, it was also a very precious mecha type.
The spells that make up this shikigami are engraved on the inside of the armor, and the outer body is made of steel. The power that drives it is not magic power, but gasoline. It is more like a large armored machine than a shikigami. A spider would never be a shikigami if it weren't for the magic spell engraved inside it that provides it with the ability to act autonomously.
Thanks to this, this shikigami has excellent physical properties. It gets rid of the physique of ordinary shikigami that is prone to cracking cores, and has excellent destructive power and defensive power. Therefore, it has become an out-and-out military shikigami. In modern times, it has become an antique, and is usually kept in the tightly guarded Yin Yang Hall branch.
The reason why it is not kept here is because it is too large.
Otherwise, the Yin Yang Hall headquarters would never place it anywhere else.
This is not only because the number of "Armored Ghost Soldiers" in modern times is extremely small, but their power is also really superior. Even a national first-level Onmyoji will have a headache against such a shikigami with extremely destructive and defensive power. The reason is that it is a military shikigami developed by Ye Guang.
Dalianji Suzuka stole it from the Onmyo Hall branch, repaired it, and finally brought it here as his trump card, where it has been kept until now.
This is the last resort prepared by Dalenji Suzuka.
