Chapter 692 Battle against Hinata Sakaguchi
The seven-colored light ignores physical defense and directly damages the soul; being hit seven times guarantees death.
Unfortunately, Chen Hong only needed to tremble slightly to shatter the spiritual tentacles that were binding him.
Then, he tilted his body to the side, dodging the sword thrust from Sakaguchi Hinata.
Hinata Sakaguchi immediately changed his move, switching from a thrust to a sweep, attempting to cut Chen Hong's body in two from his chest.
Chen Hong simply took a graceful step back, instantly ignoring the spatial blockade, and used [Space-Time Domination] to traverse space-time, teleporting to appear behind Sakaguchi Hinata three seconds earlier.
"pon!"
With a light elbow strike, Chen Hong slammed Sakaguchi Hinata's back, instantly bending his spine and breaking his vertebrae.
"puff!"
Before Hinata Sakaguchi could react, the results of the attack from the past overlaid the timeline and became reality, causing Hinata Sakaguchi to kneel on the ground, spitting blood.
"How...is this possible?"
Countless data flashed through Hinata Sakaguchi's eyes as she activated her skill [Mathematician] at full speed, performing ultra-fast calculations and logical thinking to analyze everything.
The answer was quickly obtained.
"It's time manipulation! It attacks the past to affect the present... That's too much cheating..."
Although shocked by such divine skill, Hinata Sakaguchi, as a battle-hardened and determined paladin, quickly regained his composure and used magic essence to forcibly correct his spine, forcibly gluing the broken bones back together.
Hmm... Hinata Sakaguchi isn't good at healing magic; she's put all her talent into combat.
Such minor injuries could easily regenerate indefinitely by the monsters under Rimuru's command.
It can only be said that compared to monsters, humans are still too fragile.
Hinata Sakaguchi realized this as well and unleashed her special attack skill without hesitation.
"【Holy Purification Barrier】! Miniaturized!"
A protective magic circle lit up, forming a pyramid shape that enveloped an area of ten miles in radius.
As if in response, Rimuru and the other monsters frantically retreated before the barrier could expand to them, trying to avoid it.
"hiss!"
"How dangerous! How dangerous!"
"Wasn't it this kind of barrier that almost wiped out our Jura Demon Kingdom last time?"
"This purifying magic essence, which eliminates magic essence and creates a barrier to a magic-free land, is practically a special attack for us demons!"
Ziyuan and the others looked at the pyramid barrier in front of them with apprehension.
Hinata Sakaguchi smiled and said, "You're a monster too, right?"
It's important to understand that monsters are far superior to humans in terms of regeneration and overall qualities.
However, at the same time, you monsters also need to consume a lot of magic energy at all times to maintain your life.
In contrast, we humans, who are inherently weak, have a much stronger ability to adapt to the environment and survive than you monsters.
Even in a land without magic, we humans can still survive.
But you monsters can't do that.
So, are you going to admit defeat?
"Heh!" Chen Hong sneered, "It's true that I can be considered a demon."
But who told you that my environmental adaptability is worse than that of humans?
In Hinata Sakaguchi's eyes, Chen Hong's figure suddenly turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
Hinata Sakaguchi tensed up, gripping the sword tightly in her hand.
"where is it?"
"Where did you hide?"
Hinata Sakaguchi kept adjusting her position, cautiously observing her surroundings.
But behind her unseen shadow, a head suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, a hand reached out, its elongated dragon claw piercing through Hinata Sakaguchi's chest from behind.
Hinata Sakaguchi looked down in disbelief and saw a dragon claw gripping a pounding heart.
That was her heart, Hinata Sakaguchi's heart.
Hinata Sakaguchi's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and his entire body reacted with bioelectricity, causing his hair to stand on end.
puff!
Bon! Right in front of Hinata Sakaguchi, her heart was crushed.
Chen Hong withdrew his dragon claw, leaped out of her shadow, and walked up to Hinata Sakaguchi.
With an elegant flourish, she summoned a stream of water to wash away the bloodstains from her hands.
"Excuse me."
"Looks like I've won this round."
Chen Hong used the super-speed, stealth, and one-hit kill combo – a smooth and easy trick – to take them all down in one fell swoop.
Hinata Sakaguchi's pupils gradually dilated, her body fell backward, her long hair fluttering, the red light of the setting sun shining on her like the afterglow of the sunset.
In her final moments, she murmured something.
Perhaps it was an unbelievable last message.
But the next second, a magical array lit up beneath her feet.
This wasn't a will, but...
Sing!
"Holy Magic - [Resurrection of the Dead]!"
Hinata Sakaguchi has come back to life.
The heart regenerates and is restored to its original state.
"【Seven-Colored End Thorn】!"
Like Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the Qin Emperor, a single, dazzling sword strike pierced the sun like a rainbow, its seven colors so radiant that it momentarily dazzled the eyes.
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Hong's eyes as he looked at the sword tip that had reached his heart.
But with just a thought, [Space-Time Domination] acted like an instinct, and the person had already traveled to the world 3 seconds in the future, creating a blank space of 3 seconds without Chen Hong.
And its position changed, appearing behind Hinata Sakaguchi, habitually extending its dragon claws to grab Hinata Sakaguchi's vest, seemingly wanting to repeat its old trick.
But Hinata Sakaguchi seemed to have anticipated this, and the thrusting sword traced a rainbow-like trajectory as it came hanging upside down.
Facing backwards, he executed a reverse thrust, twisting his waist, kicking out with his long legs, tilting his head back, and thrusting out his sword straight for the heart.
Chen Hong was genuinely surprised this time, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
"Excellent skill!"
This time, Chen Hong did not dodge, but instead used his dragon claws to catch the sharp sword.
呲呲呲!
Zizizi!
The sharp sword sliced through the dragon scales of Chen Honglong's claws, sparking a string of sparks.
But in the end, it was still firmly gripped in the dragon's claw, the tip of the sword pressed against the dragon scales on Chen Hong's heart, but it could not advance an inch.
Hinata Sakaguchi, however, was not surprised but rather delighted, and slowly uttered three words:
"The First Sword!"
The meaning couldn't be clearer: if six more sword strikes land, the mechanism of the Seven-Colored End Thrust would be triggered, causing Chen Hong to die instantly.
However, Chen Hong remained noncommittal.
This soul attack was no match for Chen Hong's layered, incredibly resilient, and immortal soul.
Even if it were seven times, seven hundred times, or seven thousand times, it still wouldn't kill Chen Hong.
Influenced by Ainz Ooal Gown, Dragon also fell in love with armor.
He's practically an ankylosaurus now.
"【True Intent Spirit Overlord Slash】!"
"【Demon-Slaying Holy Sword Dance】!"
Hinata Sakaguchi unleashed a series of deadly attacks, but Chen Hong easily deflected each one of them.
Realizing that the gap in strength was too great, he knew he could never achieve seven hits with the Seven-Colored End Spike.
Therefore, Hinata Sakaguchi simply used his ultimate killing move.
"【Gravity Suppression】!"
"【Spiritual Particle Collapse】!"
The sudden change in gravity caused Chen Hong to pause for a moment (actually, he was too lazy to move).
Hinata Sakaguchi seized the opportunity and unleashed her ultimate move: layers of magic circles unfolded above Chen Hong's head. (End of Chapter)
