Chapter 365: Dimple
[Tang Sanzang] slightly elevated his altitude. He could feel that [Sage] might not be able to defeat Mercenary Tao as quickly as desired.
Sage's ability origin had always been a mystery in the Space. Many Reincarnators like Tang Sanzang had tried to find the source of Sage's ability, but had always failed.
Perhaps, this Mercenary Tao with abnormally high combat power today would unveil Sage's mask?!
Drip~ Drop.
The sound of dripping water suddenly rang in Tang Sanzang's ears. The frivolous smile on his face slowly dissipated. He turned his head and opened his eyes. At some point, the scene before him had turned into an old Japanese-style mansion.
Stepping on the wooden floor produced an unpleasant creaking sound. The lights inside the house were dim, visibility limited to a few meters. Every step he took made him feel some eerie atmosphere intensifying.
Walking?!
Tang Sanzang suddenly realized that he, who should have been flying in the air, was actually walking in this obviously unreasonable environment at this moment.
This behavior itself was very abnormal.
He immediately stopped, looking out sideways from the window. There was a dilapidated well in the courtyard, currently emitting some eerie aura constantly.
"Heh, even moved this well into this house. [Heart Demon]... you are indeed a decent Reincarnator."
Tang Sanzang raised his hand, only to find his abilities unusable.
But he showed no panic, just looking around. That eerie atmosphere continued to thicken.
He had realized the origin of Heart Demon's eerie ability. It was probably a collection of rule-based kills from some Japanese horror movies.
At this moment, he should be trapped in the house from Ju-on: The Grudge, and this well came from The Ring.
Crack, crack...
Some weird sound came from the staircase. Tang Sanzang looked over with smiling eyes. Sure enough, he saw a woman's body with a weird, spider-like form crawling down on all fours. Her skin was pale, hair disheveled.
Tang Sanzang's body felt rusted, movement sluggish.
He nodded, looking at the courtyard again. At the wellhead, a woman also crawled out, crawling towards the window.
This was undoubtedly a 'Rule-based' ability, and the most dangerous 'Rule-Kill' type among all Rule-based abilities.
Tang Sanzang suddenly sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began chanting scriptures continuously.
Two eerie female figures had already arrived in front of him. Black hair covered his body.
...
[Midnight Watch] frowned, looking at Tang Sanzang's main body sitting solemnly in the air. Even though the opponent's mind was trapped by her in that world, it seemed unaffected at this moment.
Behind her, [Sylar], the [Master of Telekinesis] who claimed to master dozens of superpowers, had turned into a pale corpse, fear lingering in his eyes, expression twisted.
She clicked her tongue secretly, glancing at Mercenary Tao who had activated some unknown ability and whose momentum seemed to overwhelm Sage for a short time. She grabbed her hair in frustration.
Clearly, it was her idea to hunt down the follower of a [Supreme Powerhouse]. How did it end up with her becoming Mercenary Tao's deputy now?
"Send him into the Spirit World!"
A voice rang out from extremely far away, but the lingering sound appeared nearby.
A figure wearing a long robe and a half-mask emerged from the city about to be completely destroyed, pulling dozens of afterimages, arriving here in an instant.
Midnight Watch's eyes lit up seeing the newcomer.
Lee Chae-rin attacked wildly. She shouldn't have been able to detect Heart Demon's existence, but she was quite different at this moment.
Colorful hues intertwined behind her. Intense spiritual energy radiated from her body.
The spirit bodies of the believers of the so-called [(LOL) Cult] were following their supreme leader in another way, deceived by Lee Chae-rin and [Dimple] to lend them a hand.
Lee Chae-rin couldn't see Midnight Watch, but she could see Tang Sanzang wrapped in that twisted and intense resentment.
Among everyone, only Heart Demon, whose ability was linked to this aspect, could control this Tang Sanzang who had beaten Lee Chae-rin into fleeing in panic with just a few moves earlier.
Therefore, Lee Chae-rin made a decision instantly.
Wrapped in intense spiritual energy, she grabbed Tang Sanzang's body in an instant. Midnight Watch also revealed an evil smile, looking at that eerie Spirit World and [???] fighting fiercely with Tornado.
"Ha~ Interesting, Moon Fiend. Seems you really grew a lot beside Mercenary Tao..." Tang Sanzang sat solemnly, the smile on his lips becoming more obvious. He was about to break Midnight Watch's rules soon.
But suddenly, a strong twisted aura wrapped him completely.
He felt sticky all over, as if arriving in hell.
Hum!
Golden aura bloomed abruptly from his body. The red kasaya flew into the sky.
"Daluo Dharma Curse!"
The kasaya grew with the wind, seemingly without size limit. In just a moment, it exceeded a thousand meters, completely covering the eerie Spirit World sky above him like the sky itself.
Blocking the huge black figure's line of sight at the same time.
Tang Sanzang looked down, seeing the masked woman caressing a nano-blade. Demonically bewitching ink-black Armament Haki flowed, completely covering the blade.
Then she slashed.
Tang Sanzang didn't dodge, striking out with a palm.
Boom!
Golden Buddha light flashed. Vigorous power shattered that sharp sword light in an instant.
But Tang Sanzang suddenly felt something wrong. This slash lacked some spirit.
The Buddha light shattered several thousand meters of city blocks in an instant.
Tang Sanzang was completely different from Sage. He was a pure strength-side Reincarnator without so many weird abilities. But facing low-level Reincarnators, a solid powerhouse like him was even harder to deal with.
Those weird twisted buildings shattered one by one. Lee Chae-rin turned her body, turning into a stream of light, fleeing rapidly with a huge trail of spiritual energy.
Countless wronged souls were cleared under this strike.
Even a twisted building at the entrance of the Spirit World Erosion Zone began to shatter as well.
"Ugh..."
"You hurt ore-sama..."
A sigh containing extremely complex thoughts came from within.
In the next moment, a huge figure emitting golden spiritual energy all over emerged from the shattered building.
Dimple's spirit body muscles expanded at this moment, strength seeming to return to his peak.
As an Earthbound Spirit, his place of attachment began to be destroyed. He encountered a life-and-death crisis, but similarly, at such a time, he could exert power without restriction.
Dimple glanced at that huge figure outside the Spirit World, fighting a powerful Esper emitting green light.
"What the heck. There's actually a guy in this world who can fight you in this state..."
"Fine. In this case, no matter what you become in the future, at least... you won't be lonely, Mob..."
Boom!
A Buddha light struck again. Dimple was blown away with a bang.
Tang Sanzang looked down from above at Dimple in his peak state, smiling playfully:
"Dimple, are you mistaken about something?"
"Even returning to your peak, what can you do..."
Seeing this somewhat familiar monk, the angry self Dimple imagined didn't appear. He became rarely calm, just nodding.
"Yeah. You are stronger than ore-sama. But... so what."
In the next moment, he disappeared instantly. His figure turned into hundreds of afterimages, wrapping around Tang Sanzang.
Bang!
Kaito shattered Sage's body with one punch.
[Red Queen] turned into a mutilated corpse accordingly.
Sage himself appeared hundreds of meters in front of Kaito again.
He raised his finger, about to set rules again.
But Kaito didn't care at all.
"There's no one else here for you to transfer to, right? So what if you set more rules..."
Sage just smiled and continued speaking.
"Mercenary Tao, next, the next time you touch my body, you will... die."
Kaito frowned. He instinctively sensed an anomaly.
This rule was much harsher than the previous ones.
And that premonition didn't appear in his heart.
