I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 291-2: The Gravekeeper’s Devotion, Fall into the Asura King (2)

“No. I cannot leave the legion battlefield unattended.”

“The duel with the Great General cannot tolerate the slightest distraction. If more of the Anzai Army breaks through, it could cause a total wipe.”

Lin Xun could only order Valkyrie to intercept the Anzai Army forces approaching the battlefield.

After learning the area attack skill Judgment Lightning, Valkyrie had no need to worry about running out of arrows even when faced with many enemies.

A single arrow could form a lightning chain linking enemies within a certain range and dealing tremendous damage.

However, with Valkyrie’s powerful output gone, the win rate of the plan to wear down the Great General dropped sharply. Grinding the Great General to death seemed like a distant dream.

The Dance Goddess had not given Lin Xun a summoning item, so he could not actively summon Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto to descend.

He could only wait for the most critical moment for the hellish game to pop up the summoning option by itself.

But now the situation teetered on the edge of disaster and was about to fall into utter peril, yet the prompt to summon the Dance Goddess still did not trigger. This sank his heart further and further.

“I cannot wait. I have to use my final trump card.”Lin Xun suspected that as the end-boss of the stage, the Great General certainly had a second form. According to the original plan, the final trump card was to be saved for the Great General’s second form.

But with the current situation he simply could not hold out any longer. If he kept his trump card hidden, he might not even live to see the Great General’s second form before the party was wiped.

He cast healing again to restore the two heavily damaged frontliners.

Lin Xun clicked the item and decided to use his trump card.

[Suddenly, a stooped, elderly figure came to your side.]

[The Fire-Worshipping Ancient Fire Mound Gravekeeper looked upon the endless black-armored army and the Red Armor army struggling in their last gasps.]

[He bowed deeply to you and said, ‘Lord Proxy, the lives of all under heaven hang by a thread. Only through you and countless fearless people willing to die for their faith have we endured until now.’]

[He called himself a devout believer of Enma. How could he stand by and do nothing.]

[‘At this point, if all things perish and all beings fall, what use is there in leaving behind only this decrepit body.’]

[When the Gravekeeper raised his head again, tears streamed down his face.]

[He silently chanted obscure and complex runes. His aged body broke apart into countless motes of light and surged toward the countless tombstones covered by the illusion.]

[One by one, the God War Heroic Spirits turned from hazy visions into solid forms. The heroic spirits raised their heads and roared to the heavens. Their voiceless howls became deafening bellows.]

[Among these heroic spirits were soldiers no different from ordinary men, stalwart and mighty samurai, standard-bearing generals, and commanders who planned far ahead.]

[They were fearless warriors who had fallen in the wars of the gods and who had received the worship of countless descendants for a thousand years. They were warriors of the gods.]

[Countless roars shook the battlefield. As far as your eye could see, endless God War Heroic Spirits formed into an army and charged the Anzai Army.]

[You knew the Gravekeeper had used his devout faith, born of days and nights of offerings and incense before the tombstones, to awaken the slumbering God War Heroic Spirits, contributing the last of himself for Enma’s Proxy.]

[The God War Heroic Spirits of antiquity formed a grim battle array and charged the Anzai Army.]

[The warriors of the gods raised and fell their blades, slaughtering the black-armored legion that had been fierce only moments ago.]

[A single slash from a God War Heroic Spirit could kill a black-armored samurai, while a strike from a black-armored samurai would only slightly dim the spirit body of a God War Heroic Spirit.]

[On one side, it was a kill in one blow. On the other, it would take dozens or even a hundred strikes to destroy the enemy.]

[Even if the Gravekeeper’s faith could not awaken too many God War Heroic Spirits, it was enough to make the Anzai Army fall back step by step.]

[The advantage in the legion battle gradually tilted toward you.]

[The battle line formed by the God War Heroic Spirits kept pushing forward. It would not be long before all the Anzai Army within the necropolis was wiped out, and they would hold the necropolis entrance so that the black-armored legion could not enter the battlefield.]

The Gravekeeper sacrificed himself and bought the advantage on the legion battlefield.

Lin Xun let out a long sigh and roused his spirit.

With the advantage on the legion field, he summoned back both Nurarihyon and Valkyrie to focus entirely on the Great General.

He even recalled the Snow Woman shikigami to cast Domain of Extreme Frost from afar to slow the Great General and scrape him with ice storms.

With the new addition of Nurarihyon’s celestial demon sea monster form to the frontline, the pressure on defense eased somewhat.

A host of powerful summons bombarded wildly. Though they did not inflict substantive damage on the Great General, the black malice miasma coiling around him gradually thinned.

Lin Xun understood that the malice aura was essentially the Great General’s armor value.

Before that shield was broken, it would be impossible to deal true damage to the Great General.

[…]

[Brilliant purple lightning suddenly descended and scattered the final wisp of black miasma around the Great General.]

[The Extreme Evil Great General suddenly stopped and looked at you with complex eyes. Slowly, he said this was good. It had been a very long time since he had fought so enjoyably.]

[If you were not a lackey under two pseudo gods, he might have spared your life and granted you the status of oshin hatamoto, letting you accompany him in the Grand Residence to practice and explore the ultimate path in martial arts.]

[Unfortunately, you were not only a lackey under pseudo gods but also bore the bloodline of a pseudo god and had inherited the will of a pseudo god. Thus, the True God would not accept you.]

[The Great General closed his eyes. A particularly dark wisp of malice rose from his crown and gradually covered his body.]

[That malice gave you a sense of deja vu, like the ultimate malice that descended upon the world as the Extreme Delusion Fruit or the Ishiyama Shrine under the evil god’s gaze.]

[Malice from a divine being blended into the Great General’s body. His frame, already burly as a small mountain, kept swelling in size.]

[That body which blotted out the sky sprouted two additional ugly heads at the shoulders, green-faced and tusked, full of venomous malice.]

[Behind his shoulders, flesh flew as four especially massive arms grew.]

[You looked up. Under the evil god’s corrosion, the Great General became something stronger and stranger than the Extreme Evil Asura.]

[It was a terrifying three-headed, six-armed monster, the Asura King.]

[The Great General’s enormous body was covered in pitch-black tattoos. As the leaves and branches writhed, a thick malice aura covered his surface to form a suit of solid armor.]

[The malice aura transformed further, forming six massive weapons upon the six arms: blade, spear, sword, halberd, axe, and hammer.]

[The Great General looked down on tiny you and spoke again. His voice was like a great bell, deafening.]

[‘Since the True God will not accept you, then you shall die under the hand of the strongest person in the world.’ This is what he can grant you, your final glory.]

[You discovered the Extreme Evil Asura King, the Great General.]

Lin Xun closed his eyes in despair.

Just as he had suspected, the Great General indeed had a second form.

But was this second form something a boss at the current difficulty could even have?

Malice from the Extreme Delusion Fruit infecting and attaching itself would cause a monster’s strength to soar in a straight line.

At Ishiyama Shrine, two weak priests, when infected by the evil god’s aura had fallen into a two-headed, four-armed Asura, something already extremely monstrous.

So to what degree of terror would the Great General fallen into an Asura King reach?

“How are we supposed to fight this?”

“Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, if you do not come out now, I am going to die here.”

Lin Xun prayed to the Dance Goddess, but he received no response.
