Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 348 Tartarus

It seemed as if in the blink of an eye, Yi Yin was about to rush off to the battlefield. He clutched the exposed white bones of the Sky-Covering Skeleton Dragon tightly, feeling extremely uneasy.

Like him, Baihu and Xuanwu were also feeling uneasy. Especially Baihu, she had seen the methods of Fengjie Meikan and knew how terrifying she was.

But no matter what, they had to fight.

What lay before them was an endless, dark horde of undead.

“I didn’t expect this to happen.”

Kabutani Sakuya knew the situation was dire. "My Lord... His current strength is beyond imagination. If this continues, I'm afraid He will turn the City of the Dead upside down before tomorrow. The Bone Dragon and I will hold back these undead, and you go stop My Lord!"

"where to?"

Yi Yin still couldn't figure out the situation, as things had developed too suddenly.

At this moment, a surge of energy came, almost swallowing everyone up.

"It seems that He is ready to wipe out all of us potential threats."

The white tiger immediately stood up and prepared to fight with him.

"Hehehe..."

Yiyin couldn't believe it. That person was clearly Kazematsu Mikan, but her expression revealed an indescribable distortion that was definitely not an expression a human could make.

At this point, Iin had to believe that Kazamatsuri Mikan had completely lost himself.

Sakuya Kabutani and the Bone Dragon Zhatian went to clean up the undead and eliminate the potential threat for Iin and the others, while Iin and the others had to face the current Mikan Kazematsu.

"My name is...Tartarus."

Mikuni Kazematsu's voice now is neither like her own nor like Tartarus's. This dynamic electronic music seems to be a perfect fusion of their respective characteristics.

Tartarus said, "The fifth elemental ancestor monster is me, Tartarus. It's ridiculous that everyone knows about the four elemental ancestor monsters, and just because I'm weak and powerless, they want to expel me from the list of ancestral monsters. How ridiculous! This world needs more souls, more "death"!"

Similar to Fang Yixing's monster Flesh and Blood Scythe, Tartarus should also slightly control the blood element, which is quite tricky.

Yiyin and others summoned their own monsters without stopping, ready to deal with the coming storm.

But Tartarus didn't seem to intend to take action himself. He just chuckled and then a gust of wind and waves swirled out from his fingertips.

"It's Kazamatsuri Mikan's monster, Force 8 Gale!"

White Tiger was severely beaten by the force eight gale and quickly identified it. Because Tartarus contained part of Fuuji Mikan's soul, could it also freely command the force eight gale?

"Sister Baihu, is there any way to deal with this?"

Yi Yin knew that Baihu had fought against an eight-force gale before, so she wanted to ask her advice.

"The Level 8 Gale itself is an S-rank air elemental monster. It usually has no physical form, so it's not easy to detect. Instead of trying to attack the Level 8 Gale, it's better to attack its main body directly."

Baihu quickly came up with a solution. "With the King of the Beasts protecting me, I won't die anytime soon. Yiyin, you and Xuanwu go attack Tartarus directly. The sooner the better!"

As he spoke, Baihu took out many origami dinosaurs from his sleeves and rushed towards the level 8 gale.

"Senior Xuanwu, we can fight side by side again."

Since Baihu had said so, Yiyin naturally couldn't let her down. He didn't know how long the King of Beasts could hold out, so he had to fight quickly.

White Tiger relied on his rich combat experience to forcibly intercept the level 8 gale. Tartarus did not seem to have expected that a single B-level monster could compete with an S-level monster.

"(Come on, Iin, let's use 'that'.)"

"it is good!"

As Yiyin and Xuanwu's minds became one, the joint exhibition upgrade began.

"(Joint exhibition upgraded!)/Joint exhibition upgraded!"

【green haired turtle, dragon horse, JOGRESS UPGRADE】

The Green-Haired Turtle and Dragon Horse jointly upgraded to become the Great Emperor Xuanwu! To be honest, Yiyin and Xuanwu didn't expect to succeed so quickly. Could it be because their souls are more easily compatible in the City of the Dead?

In any case, in the Land of the Dead, one doesn't have to worry about causing any damage. The dead are not like the living; they have plenty of time to repair their wounds.

"Water floods the vast wilderness!"

Since he planned to end the battle quickly, Emperor Xuanwu naturally planned to use all his strength. The raging flood would completely cleanse the disaster brought by the meteorite fragments.

However, Tartarus didn't care.

"Instead of attacking the force eight gale, you're planning to attack Tartarus directly? Haha, you guys..."

Facing the fierce attack of Emperor Xuanwu, Tartarus didn't care at all.

"One chop!"

He lightly passed through the sky, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. A large sea of flowers with a strong smell of blood suddenly appeared beside them.

"(This is... the nameless wildflower that Kazamatsuri Mikanari encountered when he led us through the triple baptism.)"

Yiyin also realized that these flowers were neither Midori nor Misara. What was Tartarus's intention in summoning these flowers out of thin air?

"Higanbana, flowers bloom on the other side of the river."

Tartarus murmured, "Don't forget, who gave Kabutani Sakuya the power of death? The death barrier in the red spider lily bush at the end of the century—"

As he spoke, an unsettling aura emerged from the red spider lilies, as if it could directly pull people into the abyss.

"Don't panic, Senior Sister Xuanwu, Tartarus must be bluffing! Emperor Xuanwu, bury the world with water and annihilate him!"

Yi Yin didn't believe what a mere bouquet of flowers could bring.

But the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and even the most experienced soldiers can make mistakes in judgment.

However, the price of this misjudgment is too high.

"What's going on? Why does my heart feel so fast? What exactly is this uneasy feeling..."

Yiyin felt his nerves tense. He had to be cautious with every step he took when fighting against the ancestor monster.

"Uh……!"

At this moment, Emperor Xuanwu seemed to be stimulated by something and staggered and fell down.

Flowers! Thorns sprouted from the red spider lily bushes and stabbed the Black Tortoise Emperor. Damn it, when exactly did this happen...?

Before she could react, the thorns stabbed towards Yiyin.

“(Flash!)”

Yiyin's attributes were locked, but he could still see the moment when Xuanwu blocked the knife for him.

The sharp thorns pierced Xuanwu's heart like a blade drawn from its sheath. The blood that seeped out dyed her chest red, causing her to fall stiffly into Yiyin's arms.

"Xuanwu-senpai?"

Yiyin's mind went blank.

She died for me.
