"That's great… that's great!!"
Artemis couldn't help but laugh, and the fog quickly clouded her vision.
"Run!" Link shouted.
Artemis was stunned for a moment and saw Link swinging his sword again with a flaming slash, cutting off Antares' other giant claw, before she reacted and took the opportunity to distance herself from the monster.
"Screech, screech, screech!!!"
Antares let out an angry roar and nearly swallowed the god, but was interrupted by Link once more!
"Your toxin seems to have no effect now," Link said sarcastically as he held the Blade Ruohuo tightly. The Falna on his back was burning, and he once again completed the transformation.
"Although I can't solve the swastika now because I don't have enough skills, it's sufficient to resolve it for the first time."
A sword that flows like fire is the Zanpakutō of the elder Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni among the Shinigami.
Ryukenwaka's ability is to release flames and control them to burn or detonate enemies. It is the strongest and oldest Zanpakutō in the Fire system and is said to possess the strongest attack power in Soul Society.
Just like his sword said, "Everything in the turned in ashes," the heat released by Shikai is enough to turn the places he passes into ashes, and the temperature after the swastika resembles the center of the sun.
It's sufficient to deal with Antares in front of him, who hasn't returned to his peak state from ancient times!
Link didn't rush to attack.
He simply raised the flaming sword in his hand and stood before him.
Flames surrounded his body, but he didn't feel any burning.
Antares looked at this scene, but at that moment, he seemed to feel great terror.
He charged toward Link, bending his tail and aiming the poison needle at Link's head. He launched his final attack, believing he could kill Link in one blow.
Power...
Link calmly waved the long knife, and the flames surrounding his body resembled two fire dragons, roaring with scorching heat.
"Everything in the world is burned to ashes!"
"Sword that flows like fire!!"
"Shikai!!"
Link exhausted all his magic power.
He didn't need to slash his sword; he simply swung it.
The burning flames instantly rose up, forming a tornado of fire, enveloping Antares and spinning while burning.
"Screech, screech, screech!!!"
Within the flames, Antares let out an extremely miserable scream.
The scorching temperature made even Artemis feel hot and scorched all over.
"Screech, screech, screech!!!"
Antares roared unwillingly, his tail still pointed at the bright moon, his single eye staring at the goddes not far away; the bright moon in the clear sky felt very close...
'We are obviously close to victory... '
'Why should such a powerful adventurer appear...? '
Bang!
Burned by such a hot flame, he eventually turned into a ball of flying ash...
Only the tail at the end and the huge magic stone fell to the ground.
The flames on the knife gradually dissipated, and the blade became calm again.
Link sheathed the knife, and the black and gold ashes transformed by the monster flew around him like fireworks celebrating victory.
At that moment, Link had no time to pay attention to this. He vaguely felt that she had received something unknown from Antares...
Every cell screamed in joy, the pores of his entire body opened involuntarily, and a cold and refreshing feeling of comfort reached the top of his head.
His mind became extremely clear.
He seemed to have completed an unprecedented transformation.
"It's over?!"
Artemis looked at Antares, who had turned to ashes, with disbelief on her face.
Link really defeated Antares!
Without him, this encounter would have undoubtedly ended with the death of the entire family.
She had already been determined to risk her life to stop this monster, but in the end, this dark fiend was destroyed by Link.
Her steps were a little unsteady.
As the main goddess, she temporarily forgot about her own family members and ran to Link:
"Orion, are you okay?"
Link was still contemplating his changes when Artemis suddenly hugged him.
He couldn't react; his head was buzzing.
"Orion, are you okay?" Artemis repeated.
"I'm fine..."
The goddess gently touched Link's face with her hand and nodded emphatically: "Yes!"
Suddenly, the entire ruins trembled violently, and fine sand and gravel kept falling.
"This place is going to collapse!"
Artemis quickly called out the names of her family members.
Link took out the potion from the system space and gave it to the girls one by one. Rhetusa also supported the two girls. They all helped each other and walked out of the cave together before the collapse.
The air was filled with smoke and dust, and several girls who had survived the disaster were crying and laughing.
"Lady Artemis, I thought we would all die inside..."
"We came out alive..."
"Alyssa's injuries are also under control. Her life is not in danger. That's great…"
"Everyone is still alive…"
When Antares disappeared, the scorpion that had been fighting Lante and her group outside the ruins froze in its attacking movements and then turned to dust.
"What's wrong?"
Lante was stunned, his eyes wide open.
"It must be that the crusade was a success," the deputy captain said, withdrawing her weapon with a relaxed smile.
...
At the same time, the labyrinthine city of Orario lay in the underground city.
Finn and the others looked at the attacking monsters retreating like a tide, their expressions filled with surprise.
"Is this the end of the riots?"
"Probably so."
"The possible source of the monsters' riots has been resolved…" Finn said, licking his thumb.
Everyone nodded and sighed in relief.
After waiting for a while and confirming that the monsters were no longer rioting, Finn spoke again,
"This riot is really over; let's go home!"
"Oh, oh, oh!!" the family members replied happily.
The Level 7 man, currently the strongest in the city, took his two swords without a word and began to walk behind his family members.
"Thank you, Ottar." Finn expressed his gratitude with a smile.
"I'm just fulfilling the goddess's will."
...
The crusade against the strange creature 'The Black Scorpion' Antares has finally come to an end.
It ends in victory.
No one died. Although Link lost a life in the God Hand, he obtained the Shikai in return, which was not a loss.
In the future, when the skill value is sufficient and he can understand the sword, he will feel truly comfortable.
