Chapter 991: Chapter 43: Worlds on the Verge of Connection

"Go! Let’s get out of here first..."

Erica made a decisive decision.

Compared to the "Strong Wind" defeating the "Wild Boar" in the previous battle, this battle is clearly not as easy to distinguish between victory and defeat, and the destruction caused is even more terrifying.

After all, Wild Boar mainly relies on physical destructive power. Once suppressed by the power of the wind, it cannot stir up any major waves. However, the White Horse is different. It governs energy elements, leaning towards attributes like Flame and Sun, with splash damage being extremely outrageous.

The power of the Strong Wind cannot completely suppress it, nor can it thoroughly bind it.

On the contrary, in the stalemate of resistance, the flow of the wind itself is also carried with heat energy.

A violent gust of wind blew, carrying the outer heat wave of unknown thousands or tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, plus the infinite light and heat released by the White Horse, even a slight leak of the Burst Flame’s power is a matchless terrifying high-temperature radiation!

This makes those who desperately distance themselves, running away in a panic, still feel a burning sensation on their skin like a scald.

But they only glanced back once, then tightly shut their mouths, turned away silently, and continued to run forward, trying to get as far away as possible.

Absolutely don’t stop! Every second counts! Just wish their parents had given them more legs!

Because in that glance back, at the end of the distant skyline, dozens of tall buildings slowly tilted down like cut straw, then collapsed one after another as if softened...

Whether it’s skyscrapers or highways, they are easily dissolved.

......

...

"It’s happening again..."

Masaaki Oda stood outside the corridor of the old apartment building, felt the immense panic gripping the entire city, and couldn’t help but sigh.

His figure also gradually heightened, swelling steadily, his slender and muscle-deficient physique quickly bulged like a balloon towards a fit direction, even surpassing the usual concept of strong; his arms were as thick as another’s thigh.

"Great Demon King, this, this is..."

Ashiya Shiro behind him, was also incredulously bowing his head, looking at his own hands.

"I feel the magic power... it’s recovering..."

Fingernails became sharp, vision became clear, hard as iron stone scales wrapped back on his body, power crazily recovering, making Ashiya Shiro, who had felt insecure ever since arriving on Earth, suddenly feel an impulse to shed hot tears.

It’s too difficult.

It’s really too difficult!

"I know, Ashiya... just in time to be of use, right?"

Masaaki Oda didn’t turn back, only gazing at the distant sky, watching the vast swathes of sun flames spilling down, landing on the earth, bringing scenes of enormous calamity. He tightly clenched his fist, feelings very complex, but still gritted his teeth and said.

"Are you ready? Because what’s over there isn’t any ordinary character!"

"..."

"..."

"Yes! Great Demon King!"

Ashiya Shiro was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted, feeling he understood the Great Demon King’s meaning, firmly nodded and responded respectfully.

The Great Demon King definitely isn’t trying to stop this disaster, but rising to the occasion is proper. This rare opportunity, if not seized properly, who knows when the next chance will come... Demon Grand Marshal thought in his heart, feeling he completely understood.

"I... I’m going too!"

Behind the two, Kusanagi Hikotou gritted his teeth tightly, feeling his whole body trembling, but couldn’t help but speak up.

Perhaps it was hot-bloodedness, he wasn’t sure.

But...

He couldn’t accept, couldn’t accept everything that’s happening, couldn’t accept complacently watching them. Moreover, even demons are fighting to protect the world; he absolutely doesn’t want to weaken at this time and later regret his cowardice in life.

"Don’t be troublesome, what help can you offer?!"

Masaaki Oda frowned, turned back to scrutinize this human, decisively refusing his volunteerism.

Although appreciating such brave warriors, ordinary people are simply too weak as individuals... Having been human for quite some time himself, he knows that without the magic power restoring now, he couldn’t do anything either.

In front of such disasters, ordinary people are truly too tiny.

To want to challenge a hurricane, earthquake, volcano eruption, or such natural disaster with ordinary flesh is simply wishful thinking.

"I can do it! Otherwise, Brother Masaaki, why did you just want me to join you then..."

Kusanagi Hikotou stubbornly shook his head, emotionally intensified, he reached for his backpack brought along, inside is that special stone tablet supposedly possessing magic power. It’s this stone tablet that showed him the truth hidden behind disasters, allowing him to move freely within the magic barrier...

Also letting him see Masaaki Oda’s Demon King form, witness his act of repairing the destroyed city.

That’s why he’s here today.

"This stone tablet! Brother Masaaki, you also said it’s very special, maybe bringing it over will be of use?!"

Kusanagi Hikotou held up the stone tablet in his hand, speaking earnestly.

......

...

On the other side—

"Can you still keep running?"

With a slight pant, Erica also had sweat on her forehead. She slightly paused her sprinting and asked the two behind her, while quickly scanning all around with keen eyesight to detect the surroundings and plan the best route again.

The air still carried a burning sensation; this distance wasn’t nearly enough!

It means they are still within the striking range!

"I can still hold on... but Miss Emi seems unable to keep up, she’s falling behind."

Gu Mo blinked his eyes; he had been dragged into a sprint by Erica the whole way. If not for the girl subconsciously thinking he was just an ordinary person, unable to endure too much pressure and speed, he might have been dragged off like a kite.

As for Amilia, without extraordinary power to aid her, purely relying on her physical constitution to run, she was indeed exhausted.

The red-haired girl could barely keep up but was already lagging hundreds of meters behind, her face slightly pale... This was thanks to her constitution being modified, even without special energy support, being much better than ordinary people.

"Hmph! If you can’t, then admit it, what’s the excuse..."

Erica snorted lightly; she didn’t know Amilia’s trump card and had no idea her magic energy hadn’t recovered since it dissipated the previous night. She simply thought this person being dragged along by herself was truly out of physical strength.

Even borrowing power from her, he still needed to run himself.

Sprinting nonstop to this extent, indeed reached the limit.

Just then, a huge and terrifying tremor came, with the atmosphere lamenting in shock. Erica’s expression changed suddenly, as she sensed it—a burst of magic power beyond imagination, like a strong wind blowing from the direction behind them, sweeping across the city and continuing to spread.

Though the burning sensation seemed to disappear in an instant, as if something suppressed it and drew it back...

But she knew, this meant the mysterious power from yesterday also intervened, and if it bursts in full collision, it could result in even more terrifying consequences.

Tokyo being wiped off the map wouldn’t mean much!

Chances are, the entire Kantou region might be sunk!

Such is the threat at the mythological level; just the aftermath gently brushing by is already more than the human world can bear.

"Damn it..."

Gritting her teeth, the golden-haired girl in the red skirt stopped, turning around to immediately grab the young man behind her.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing..."

Gu Mo tugged at his lips, immediately reacting by decisively reaching out and grabbing Erica’s wrist in return.

"You, cooperate honestly with me! I’m not going to do anything to you..."

The knightess was both annoyed and angry; this guy was such a handful, like a mission to protect a key NPC in some game that mustn’t be harmed, yet he had no understanding of cooperation, raising her blood pressure.

Of course, Gu Mo was disinclined to cooperate; being moved by a girl out of protective intent was one experience too many.

Especially when it wasn’t Ah Xiu, but Erica... what’s she thinking...

"Wait, wait!"

At this moment, Amilia quickly caught up, her expression suddenly turning so joyful as if she confirmed some information: "My allies—"

The words barely out of her mouth were interrupted!

The sky suddenly grew dark, becoming so pitch-black one couldn’t see a thing, as if engulfed by light-devouring domain.

The noisy sounds quickly receded, giving the feeling of falling into a halted time, even the distant sun’s rays couldn’t pierce through this pure dark color. Like deeply integrated, night descended, surrounded by abnormal silence and stillness.

"..."

"..."

Erica faced the enemy cautiously, swiftly drawing her treasure sword.

Nothing happened, only darkness—the pure darkness engulfed the trio, seemingly stripping them from the spacetime of the real world.

"Choosing really such a perfect timing..." The golden-haired knightess gritted her teeth angrily and glaringly glanced at someone, then swiftly shifted her gaze towards Amilia with a trace of hope, asking, "Did you just say your allies? Are there reinforcements?"

More people means more power!

"Yes, they... they are coming..."

Amilia tightly pressed her lower lip, also alertly watching all around.

She had just received "concept reception and transmission" from her companions through telepathy, deeply versed in technique principles, she immediately understood it meant her allies were coming for her. They couldn’t pinpoint her exact location from afar, so they used the mental connection between thoughts to prepare to lock onto the destination.

This meant... they would soon be opening the passage.

But at this moment—

With the door opening and the worlds connecting, she couldn’t help feeling the Ante Yisula World was in danger.
