Chapter 1473: Hesitant Teresa! (Two-in-One)
If Steve Guts' action was driven by anger, then Bask Gran's three cannon shots served to kick off the battle.
Seeing Steve Guts easily sent flying, Yejian Tsukahara had already determined that only he could directly confront Fafuhner among those present.
So he stepped forward without hesitation, taking the lead to charge with his sword and collide with the purple light that boldly broke through the smoke screen.
This long sword named 'Yoru', enhanced by Armament Haki, had a straight blade truly pitch black and lightless like the night.
But it wasn't an Imperial Arm, it had no special effects. It had merely accompanied one Clan Leader of the Yami Clan after another, experiencing countless battles with them.
In the Yami Clan, the decision of who becomes Clan Leader isn't based on seniority, but on swordsmanship strength.
As long as one reaches the age of thirty and successfully challenges the current Clan Leader, they can become the new Clan Head, leading their family to move into the Night Courtyard and enjoy the best treatment.
At the same time, they inherit this 'Yoru Sword', claimed to be 'never worn down', 'never damaged', and 'absolutely reliable'.
Nobody knows if this is true or false, but in any case, over hundreds of years, it has indeed never been damaged.
It can be said to be a typical example of the saying, 'the person dies, but the sword remains'.
[Clang!]
At this moment, the Yoru Sword was in Yejian Tsukahara's hand, continuing to fight fiercely in another world.
And its opponent was a sharp, long fingernail, coated in Yoki and shimmering with purple light.
"This strength... you're actually a human?"
Fafuhner looked at the expressionless man right in front of her, extremely surprised.
She didn't feel any strange aura on Yejian Tsukahara's body.
"Naturally I'm a human. On the contrary, for you, a monster, to possess such strength, this old man is truly surprised."
Yejian Tsukahara was, of course, talking nonsense. As someone from the Imperial Arms world, he was perfectly clear about the existence of Super Dangerous Beasts.
This was merely his counterattack against the contempt for humans in Fafuhner's tone.
"A mere food, what arrogance!"
Fafuhner wasn't very angry; she was just amused by him.
Suddenly, just as she was smiling sweetly, the completely black Vergo instantly appeared on her left side, striking towards her temple with his right index finger at a speed comparable to a sniper bullet.
"Finger Pistol!"
But Fafuhner didn't even look at him, focusing most of her attention on the combat with Yejian Tsukahara.
The only change was that a strand of her hair, coated in purple light, condensed into a sharp long spike to counter Vergo's finger.
When the two collided together with incredible speed, the air vibrated, creating visible ripples in circles.
This wasn't over yet. More hair strands turned into streaks of purple escape light, stabbing towards various parts of Vergo's body, like a dense array of spikes rushing towards him.
Vergo's expression suddenly changed drastically. Relying on the perception of Observation Haki and his powerful martial arts, he used his full strength to deal with the countless attacks rushing towards him.
However, after several seconds of fierce offense and defense, in the end, he was still blasted away by a palm strike Fafuhner managed to swing out when she found a moment.
At the same time, over ten purple light feathers shot out from the black feather shawl on her body, pursuing Vergo who was currently in mid-air.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Nail Crimson!"
Uchiha Kokuu used Body Flicker to appear between Vergo and the purple feathers.
First, he quickly threw out a large amount of shuriken with exquisite technique, then spit out clumps of flame from his mouth to envelop them.
In an instant, sparks filling the sky had formed in front of him, continuously colliding with the purple feathers, which were like light beams, shattering them.
Fafuhner, on her side, realized it would be difficult to deal with Yejian Tsukahara in a short time.
She immediately changed her combat strategy, no longer grappling with Yejian Tsukahara, and charged at high speed towards Pontiff Vittorio, Bask Gran, and others located in the back row.
She wanted to first cause some casualties among them, dealing with them one by one, from the weakest to the strongest.
"Watch out!"
"She's coming over!"
While controlling the three cannon barrels in front of him to continuously fire at Fafuhner, Bask Gran loudly issued a warning to the people around him.
Giulio Cesare gripped his sword with both hands, blocking in front of Vittorio.
The White Dragon behind him even flapped his wings and flew into the air, breathing out cold breath along Fafuhner's path.
"This is getting more and more interesting."
Fafuhner, moving at high speed, saw this and was not surprised, but instead filled with delight.
Then she swung her right hand forward, releasing immense purple Yoki to blast open the attacking cold breath on the spot.
But just as she continued to charge forward, her movement suddenly came to an unexpected halt.
Fafuhner looked towards Raftela in astonishment.
It was this woman, the only one in the entire field who could perceive Yoki, who was trying to influence her own Yoki.
Moreover, she indeed succeeded, although it wasn't even one second.
But this was already enough for Yejian Tsukahara to catch up again, and for Vergo, Uchiha Kokuu, and Steve Guts to complete their encirclement.
"You can actually influence this Empress through Yoki Synchronization?"
"I was truly startled. Your incredible talent~"
Fafuhner, trapped in a heavy encirclement, showed not the slightest bit of panic.
Instead, she greatly praised Raftela, who was still making an effort.
"You want to perform Yoki Synchronization with this Empress so much?"
"Since that's the case, then I shall satisfy you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the scene inwardly felt a bad premonition. Pontiff Vittorio seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly shouted, "Stop quickly!"
But it was already too late.
With Fafuhner's cooperation, Raftela successfully completed Yoki Synchronization with her.
Normally, she could then make Fafuhner see various phantasms, and even make her body unable to move.
But the instant the synchronization was achieved, Raftela's body froze there, and then she suddenly raised her sword and charged towards Pontiff Vittorio.
[Clang!]
"What are you doing?!" Giulio Cesare swung his blade to block the sword edge and said angrily.
But Raftela had no response and continued to attack with full strength.
For a moment, the two of them fought fiercely in the field. The clanging sound of blade collision was continuous and unending.
Pontiff Vittorio noticed that Raftela's eyes were vacant and shouted, "She's being controlled by the Demon Dragon! Try your best not to injure her!"
"Yoki Synchronization... So that's how it is. This ability has a risk, the risk of being counter-controlled by the opponent."
Bask Gran, being an alchemist, immediately guessed the reason.
This made him feel very fortunate, fortunate that he hadn't brought more Claymore Warriors.
Otherwise, their forces would likely be facing a siege from a group of Claymore Warriors.
This also represents that Fafuhner is indeed invincible in this world.
As long as an existence has Yoki inside the body, it's impossible to resist her.
After all, whether it's Yoma, Half-human, Half-Yoma Claymore Warriors, Awakened Beings, or even Dragon Descendants, the source of their Yoki all comes from Fafuhner's Demonic Dragon bloodline.
Probably only Teresa, who after death had her soul enter the Netherworld, escaped all Yoki, and successfully achieved the awakening of Raphaela's Divine Power, could clash with her.
"Since that's the case..."
Giulio Cesare immediately had an idea upon hearing Pontiff Vittorio's order.
The next second, the back of his right hand emitted white radiance. This was 'God's Right Hand: Windaruu'.
Its ability is to control all wild beasts and magic beasts, including creatures like dragons.
But it is ineffective against humans, or rather, ineffective against creatures he subjectively considers human in his consciousness.
After multiple attempts over these past few years, it has been confirmed that it cannot affect minority races like the Fish-Man Tribe and Mink Tribe.
But it is effective against humanoid monsters like Kabane and Yoma, because in his heart, he no longer considers them human.
These are the characteristics of magic, quite idealistic.
It's worth mentioning that there is a serious error in the anime of 'Zero no Tsukaima'.
Which is that it made Sheffield control magic beasts.
But she is 'God's Head: Misunitonirun'.
Her ability is to control and use any magic item, so the target of the effect is actually non-living things.
At the same time, as Giulio Cesare activated his Void Ability, the surrounding ground formed one magic array after another, emitting white light.
And from within them appeared black wolves, one by one, with sturdy body size and a 'Windaruu Mark' imprinted on their foreheads.
They were Fenrir Demon Wolves from the Zero Magic World.
Of course, they weren't summoned directly from the Zero Magic World.
Even 'Void Magic' cannot cross cosmic star zones.
Therefore, Giulio Cesare had brought them to this Claymore World in advance, and then summoned them from Claymore Island to his side to fight for him.
These magic wolves were connected with his will. As soon as they appeared, they opened their gaping maws and pounced fiercely towards Raftela, their gaze extremely fierce and terrifying.
In the eyes of Raftela, whose consciousness was controlled, these were all Yoma summoned by Fafuhner.
Therefore, she didn't hesitate at all, immediately swinging her sword to cut down one magic wolf.
But as more magic wolves pressed forward relentlessly, they still managed to trap Raftela in the center.
"White Dragon!"
Giulio Cesare turned his head and shouted loudly towards the White Dragon guarding behind Pontiff Vittorio.
The White Dragon didn't have any hesitation, opening his mouth again to breathe out cold breath.
The target was precisely the zone where Raftela was located.
[Boom!]
The ultra-low temperature cold air formed a columnar impact.
In the blink of an eye, it froze Raftela, who was swinging her sword, and the surrounding magic wolves together.
"Good!"
Pontiff Vittorio was very delighted seeing this. "As expected of Giulio, you can always execute orders perfectly!"
"Thank you."
Giulio Cesare smiled slightly upon hearing the praise.
Then he shifted his gaze to the five people in the midst of the fierce battle: Fafuhner, Yejian Tsukahara, Vergo, Steve Guts, and Uchiha Kokuu.
It must be said that with his current strength, it was very difficult for him to participate in combat of this intensity.
Therefore, Giulio Cesare chose to stay here and protect Pontiff Vittorio.
Bask Gran was actually the same.
The cannons he produced through alchemy were not only very difficult to hit Fafuhner with, but also very easily affected their friendly forces.
Therefore, also acting as Pontiff Vittorio's guard, he constructed a firepower defense line of considerable scale around them.
Among which there were not only over ten large-caliber cannons, but also a large amount of heavy machine guns.
Only to form a storm of metal to the maximum extent when Fafuhner drew near.
And Pontiff Vittorio, who was given such importance, also began to display his role when injuries appeared on Vergo, Steve Guts, and Uchiha Kokuu in front.
One could see him raising high the golden long-handled magic wand in his hand. The tip suddenly burst forth with dazzling radiance.
The brilliance of its radiance almost instantly illuminated the palace in the deep night.
And Vergo, Steve Guts, and Uchiha Kokuu, whose bodies were illuminated by this golden light, first felt a warm feeling, and then noticed that the injuries inside and outside their bodies were rapidly recovering.
This was Pontiff Vittorio's Holy Light Magic.
In the entire Zero Magic World, only he alone had control over this kind of magic.
Yes, even Brimir, before the World Government appeared, actually couldn't use Holy Light Magic either.
Because Pontiff Vittorio's Holy Light Magic was formed after he injected his devout faith towards Brimir into his magic power.
And although Brimir had claimed to be a believer of the God of the Void, he truly never thought of injecting his devout will into his magic power.
Later, after joining the World Government and knowing the true purpose of the God of the Void, he even more directly abandoned his faith in the other party.
Fortunately, Void Magic does not rely on faith in the God of the Void, so there haven't been any negative effects up until now.
The Divine Magic principle used by Lelei and others in the Ninja World is also the same.
They also, when spellcasting, injected their devout faith towards 'God of the Sun and Light' Freya into their magic power in their heart.
Although Freya is already 'gone', the key point lies in the combination of faith and magic power, which gives the magic power the effect of being able to dispel evil and treat injuries.
However, in all aspects, it is definitely still not as good as this Pontiff Vittorio.
"So hot!"
"This light really makes this Empress irritated! Stop immediately!"
Fafuhner, in the midst of the fierce battle, suddenly became enraged.
But Yejian Tsukahara, with his superb swordsmanship, made it impossible for her to bypass him and attack towards Pontiff Vittorio.
"You're forcing me to do this!"
In the illumination of the light, Fafuhner burst into great anger, and her gaze also began to become ferocious and terrifying.
[BOOM!!!]
In an instant, vast purple Yoki, like flowing water, gushed out from her body, blasting open the palace ceiling above on the spot, forming a heaven-piercing light pillar that shot straight up into the night sky, attracting countless pairs of shocked gaze from the entire city of Rome.
"She's finally getting serious."
Yejian Tsukahara endured the rushing wind and waves and the spiritual aura filled with killing intent, looking with a solemn expression at the giant purple light pillar in front of him.
It must be said that the Yoki Fafuhner released at this moment was simply comparable to the impact of Conqueror's Haki.
Fortunately, everyone present was not weak, and nobody couldn't bear it.
A moment later, when the light pillar dissipated, above the Domitian Palace, a giant Demon Dragon unexpectedly appeared, covered all over with amethyst scales, with six curved horns on its head, and two wings on its back.
"This is her main body, the true appearance of the Demon Dragon!"
Uchiha Kokuu, holding a flaming long saber in his hand, muttered in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes rapidly transformed from the Three-Tomoe Sharingan into the more captivating Mangekyo Sharingan.
He knew that the real great battle only truly began from this moment.
"Concentrate your spirit! Maintain formation!"
Yejian Tsukahara, standing the furthest forward, looked at the Demon Dragon's posture and shouted loudly.
"Everyone, rest assured! No matter how great the injuries you receive, I will use my full strength to treat everyone! Please go all out!"
Giulio Cesare raised high his still glowing golden wand and shouted.
"Hmph, with such a large body size, I can also use full firepower attack on my side!"
Bask Gran, standing behind the layered group of guns and cannons, echoed coldly.
"Attack!"
Yejian Tsukahara instantly turned into a pitch black meteor, shooting straight towards the Demon Dragon circling in the air.
Vergo, Steve Guts, and Uchiha Kokuu, from different directions, followed closely behind, creating bursts of sound burst and loud noise.
Bask Gran's guns and cannons also began to fire fiercely. The surging gunfire and gunsmoke formed a quite spectacular scene.
Within the cloud layer at high altitude at this moment, two graceful figures with different temperaments, but equally beautiful, were looking down upon everyone surrounding and attacking the Demon Dragon with full strength.
It was precisely Yama and Teresa from the Netherworld. The former asked with a smile:
"Do you think they can win?"
Teresa slightly furrowed her brow and answered Yama with a solemn expression.
"I don't know, but this Fafuhner is much stronger than me, and I can feel a large amount of aura of resentment continuously gathering onto her body from the horizon..."
She truly didn't expect the Demon Dragon to be strong to this extent.
Then she raised her gaze and looked towards Yama beside her. "Can we make a move to help?"
Yama shook her head. "Father said that each performs their own duty is the proper path. It's better to leave it to them to solve it themselves."
"Then what if they lose? What if there are casualties?" Teresa asked in return.
"If they lose, the World Government will bring in stronger combat power."
"As for casualties, if their value is great enough, resurrection afterwards is fine. Those who cannot be resurrected will be taken into the Netherworld to take office."
Yama casually stated the World Government's style of doing things.
"In summary, this Demon Dragon cannot cause major trouble. Your Highness the Empress can rest assured."
"This..."
Teresa heard this address, opened her mouth slightly, but in the end still didn't refute it.
She silently lowered her head and continued to observe with a complicated mood, the combat below that would decide the world's fate.
If Steve Guts' action was driven by anger, then Bask Gran's three cannon shots served to kick off the battle.
Seeing Steve Guts easily sent flying, Yejian Tsukahara had already determined that only he could directly confront Fafuhner among those present.
