Nanami had never imagined that she would actually feel panicked, even under the premise that her opponent wouldn’t use the elf army and wouldn’t use any skills.
And that was even with Yamata no Orochi as her helper!
“Such big talk! Today, I will definitely kill you!” Nanami said through gritted teeth.
Seeing that Lu Ran truly hadn’t used his Elf Wings, she was overjoyed inside.
Although her heart was flustered, she was also excited because of Lu Ran’s arrogance.
She could kill Lu Ran right now!
As she spoke, Yamata no Orochi’s massive snake head had already emerged from the shikigami space.
Just that single head alone was unbelievably huge!
At the same time, a strong, rotting stench began to spread through the air.
Lu Ran was taken aback.
He blurted out in surprise, “Whoa, so this is Yamata no Orochi? It’s that huge! And that’s just one head? If all the other heads come out too, how massive is it going to be?”
Nanami was no longer paying any attention to Lu Ran.
She just stared at him intently, while continuing to control her two shikigami to keep attacking and restricting him.
Because even though Lu Ran had said he wouldn’t use his Elf Wings and that he wouldn’t run away, there was still a chance he might change his mind after seeing Yamata no Orochi.
But as it turned out, she was just being petty.
Lu Ran… really didn’t move at all!
Sure, he was shocked, but it wasn’t out of fear or terror. Instead, it was more like curiosity… mixed with a hint of excitement?
Nanami couldn’t understand it. Facing such a terrifyingly huge creature, where did that excitement come from?
And at that moment.
Yamata no Orochi was already fully descending into the world through the completely torn rift in the shikigami space.
“Kill him!” Nanami commanded in a deep voice.
One of Yamata no Orochi’s snake heads glanced down at Nanami, who looked as tiny as an ant, then turned its gaze to Lu Ran.
In its eyes, wasn’t such a puny human just a simple kill?
What difficulty could there possibly be?
At the same time.
The three guild leaders who were waiting in the distance for news from Lu Ran also saw this scene.
They couldn’t help it—Yamata no Orochi’s size was just way too enormous!
“So that’s Yamata no Orochi? Holy crap, it’s that big!”
“Yamata no Orochi is a level 100 boss-class shikigami, right?”
“Technically, it shouldn’t be able to form a contract with an Onmyoji, but Sakura’s Shinto sect has their ways, so they did a reverse contract.”
“Selling her body and soul… for such a huge price, it’s understandable she’d get Yamata no Orochi’s assistance in return.”
“Too bad, it’s not Nanami controlling Yamata no Orochi—it’s Yamata no Orochi controlling Nanami!”
“Maybe Nanami promised it some kind of reward?”
“Not bad. Lu Ran is going to have some fun with this later.”
“If he controls Yamata no Orochi, then that woman belongs to Lu Ran too, right? I hear Sakura women are pretty skilled… so Lu Ran’s going to be…”
“Lei Tai! Stop talking nonsense!”
…
They were even casually chatting and joking amongst themselves.
From their angle.
The massive, mountain-like creature that touched the sky and the earth—Yamata no Orochi—truly gave them an overwhelming sense of shock and awe!
This was something that simply shouldn’t be dealt with by any professional at their current stage.
“Hey, Sakura has this thing, so why doesn’t Longxia have something similar?” Lei Tai asked.
“You mean… something native to Longxia?” Liu Xinxin asked.
“Yeah, after the world turned into data, I haven’t really heard of any native Longxia stuff. Even the Dark Elf Queen, the Nature Elves, and the Dwarves aren’t originally from Longxia,” Lei Tai said.
Upon hearing this.
Liu Xinxin thought for a moment and said, “Well, there are some, but Longxia is vast with too many forbidden zones that haven’t been fully explored yet. For now, Lu Ran is the professional most qualified to obtain those things.”
As they chatted.
Lu Ran was also looking Yamata no Orochi up and down.
After staring at Lu Ran for a few seconds, Yamata no Orochi simply began to crush him!
This tiny little ant was so insignificant that Yamata no Orochi didn’t even feel like communicating with him.
Just kill him and be done with it!
“Nanami, don’t forget what you promised me. Otherwise, you’ll know the consequences,” Yamata no Orochi even added as a reminder.
“I’ll keep my word,” Nanami said in a deep voice.
Then.
Yamata no Orochi’s tail, as heavy as a mountain, came swinging down viciously and slammed right onto Lu Ran’s head!
Boom!
The ground shook violently, and a deep gash was carved into the earth.
Nanami’s two shikigami scattered to the sides. Since they were both her shikigami, they couldn’t harm each other.
Dust and sand billowed up, stinging the eyes, making it hard to see clearly.
Nanami frowned as she gazed at the cloud of sand and smoke in front of her. There was a saying: if there’s smoke but no injury, things aren’t looking good.
And indeed, that was the case!
After the dust settled.
Lu Ran was standing right there in that ditch, and his health bar… was still full!
Still no damage taken!
“Pfft, pfft~” Lu Ran spat out the sand grains from his mouth and waved his hand to clear the dust in front of him, cursing, “If you’re going to fight, then fight. What’s with all this show? So rude.”
Nanami was completely dumbfounded.
What was wrong with this necromancer?
Was he unkillable or something?
How the hell was he not taking any damage?
This was Yamata no Orochi!
Yamata no Orochi also realized something was wrong. It finally got serious. All eight of its heads began unleashing skills.
And the advantage here was that each head could release its skills independently, stacking them on top of each other!
For a moment, fire, ice, water, lightning—every kind of skill imaginable—came raining down on Lu Ran in a relentless bombardment!
The dust and smoke exploded again!
But then it was immediately blown away by the shockwaves from the skills.
This time.
Nanami saw it clearly with her own eyes. None of Yamata no Orochi’s attacks had the slightest effect on Lu Ran!
“Invincible…” Nanami was terrified out of her mind.
Of course, she didn’t know that Lu Ran was actually taking damage.
It was just that the damage was being transferred to the undead summons stored in his “Sleeve Universe” skill.
Yamata no Orochi’s attacks had killed quite a few of Lu Ran’s summons, but he didn’t mind at all. Those things could be replaced as many times as he wanted!
But in Nanami’s eyes, this was just plain invincible!
No matter what she threw at him, his health bar didn’t drop!
“Damn it! How are you doing this?!” Nanami was practically losing her mind. “It’s impossible! There’s no way I can’t kill you! Quick, keep attacking! Kill him, kill him!”
By now, Yamata no Orochi was also completely dumbfounded.
Given the current level of human professionals, this shouldn’t be happening!
A full combination of skills like that could tear an entire main city apart!
Yet it couldn’t kill a single pathetic little necromancer?
“You’re taking way too long. You’ve been attacking for a while now. Isn’t it my turn?” Lu Ran asked slowly and leisurely.
He was about to make his move!
Nanami’s pupils suddenly shrank.
The next second.
The Sea-Calming Trident appeared in Lu Ran’s hand.
This weapon was currently ranked second on the global equipment leaderboard, and Nanami recognized it instantly.
It also finally and completely confirmed Lu Ran’s identity!
The panic and fear in Nanami’s heart grew infinitely larger. She instinctively took two steps back.
But Lu Ran’s target wasn’t her.
Instead, he looked up at Yamata no Orochi.
He grinned, raised the Sea-Calming Trident, and murmured, “See you in a bit…”
The Blood Spear—which he had been charging up for days without using—began to condense!
This was also the strongest Blood Spear yet, coming from Lu Ran’s longest charge time and his highest spell attack power state!
