Four colorful meteors descended from the sky.
Carrying a powerful oppressive force, they enveloped an area of hundreds of square kilometers.
The bioparticle field around the 400-meter-tall Scorpio was instantly dispersed.
"Wuwuwu—!"
Countless crimson eyes on Scorpio looked upward, and its entire body was pressed down, unable to move.
Its sound was no longer a wail, but a tremor indicating its life was threatened.
Although a Level 5 Gastrea had a body like a mountain and molecular-level regeneration, such a massive body was very slow in reaction.
Of course, it was still astonishingly fast for ordinary people, but for the Retainers, it was very slow, and they could easily dodge if they were serious.
Instead, the Gastrea's enormous body was a living target.
What made the Retainers helpless was precisely this enormous body.
Even if they could shatter dozens of meters of its epidermis with one blow, for the Gastrea, it was like being bitten by a mosquito.
Even if they worked themselves to death, they could not inflict truly fatal damage on the Gastrea.
This was not because they couldn't exert greater power, but because the weapons in their hands couldn't support them in unleashing superhuman strength.
Otherwise, if their weapons broke, would they fight bare-handed?
The four meteors stopped directly above Scorpio's head, revealing their true forms.
"That's a sword, my sword!" Muichiro Tokito used his Breathing Technique to its fullest, his figure transforming into mist as he stepped on Scorpio's skin and rushed towards its head.
Iguro Obanai's eyes widened: "Lord Xia Wei has sent us the weapons we entrusted to the blacksmiths!"
His figure followed closely behind Muichiro Tokito.
"Excellent, with a divine artifact, I won't have to worry about my weapon breaking." Gyomei Himejima swung his already damaged meteor hammer towards Scorpio, throwing it with a loud bang that created a crater over ten meters deep.
This crater recovered in less than a second after appearing.
"The village chief has also forged my sword!" Mitsuri Kanroji, enveloped in a pink sweet breeze, flew forward.
However, she did not discard her damaged flexible sword, but instead returned it to its sheath.
Although it was no longer usable, it had witnessed her growth, and she had to keep it carefully.
"Truly a divine artifact." Muichiro Tokito arrived before his sword, his eyes reflecting a blue light, and he couldn't help but exclaim. He reached out and grasped the hilt.
Hum~
The sword's spirit conveyed joy, and a blue mist instantly emanated from the blade.
The blue light shone brightly, and Muichiro Tokito seemed to be enveloped in a luminous mist.
"So strong, my Breathing Technique is boiling, Cloud Mist Blade, what a good name, it truly suits me."
Muichiro Tokito tried to add the power from his skills to the sword.
The Cloud Mist Blade received the power and conveyed joy, telling him it could fully withstand his strength.
Seeing this, Muichiro Tokito instantly released all the power from his skills.
The Cloud Mist Blade's body instantly burst forth with dazzling light, transforming into a light blade in the blink of an eye.
"How amazing, my Breathing Technique and sword skills have actually surpassed the limits I could reach."
Boom! Gyomei Himejima also grasped his meteor hammer, and rumbling tremors and crackling lightning appeared on the meteor hammer and the broad axe respectively.
Iguro Obanai held his sword in disbelief: "Serpentine Blade! Mr. Tetsumaru truly forged a divine artifact that perfectly suits me!"
Winding serpentine phantoms extended from the sword in his hand, appearing eerie, unpredictable, and surprising.
"Good, I am absolutely confident now that I can destroy this monster beneath our feet."
Mitsuri Kanroji shook her flexible sword, which constantly emitted cherry blossom petals, her eyes full of stars: "Wow!
It can produce cherry blossoms! So beautiful! The village chief is truly amazing."
Muichiro Tokito said: "Everyone, let's discuss the divine artifacts after we've defeated this monster."
After speaking, he gripped the hilt with both hands and raised the sword high above his head, with mist and blue light extending straight from the blade.
"Mist Breathing! Sixth Form: Lunar Disappearance of Mist!"
The mist instantly erupted, enveloping Scorpio's head.
Iguro Obanai, Gyomei Himejima, and Mitsuri Kanroji quickly leaped into the air.
Rip—
A piercing sound of air tearing occurred, and the spreading mist instantly split in two.
At the same time, Scorpio's head was also instantly split, as if a squid had its head divided into two by an invisible blade.
This single strike cut open a full quarter of Scorpio.
"Screech—!"
Without the suppression from above, the pain of being cut open made it shriek, and its bioparticle field erupted, forming a storm that instantly blew away the four individuals, including Muichiro Tokito.
But before being blown away, Muichiro Tokito had already thrown a large amount of antidote into the open wound to suppress its regeneration.
"Stone Breathing! Sixth Form: Boulder Thunderclap!"
When Gyomei Himejima grasped this divine artifact, his Breathing Technique had evolved into its Sixth Form, combining with the divine artifact's lightning attribute to create instantaneous explosive power.
Boom!
The meteor hammer unleashed lightning power the moment it was thrown.
It exploded the moment it struck Scorpio's body, and with the meteor hammer as the epicenter, hundreds of meters of Scorpio's body were shattered. Not only that, but the lightning also continuously eroded it like maggots in bone.
Even with molecular-level regeneration, lightning is plasma, which can ionize even atoms, let alone molecules.
"Screech—!" Scorpio continuously swung its tentacles, and the air produced sonic booms.
But it was too large; it would always be dodged before it could attack.
"Serpent Breathing! Fifth Form: Winding Serpent!" Iguro Obanai directly charged into the head that Muichiro Tokito had cut open, continuously swinging his sword.
In an instant, winding serpentine shadows were unleashed, causing continuous destruction.
In less than two breaths, the severed head was covered in serpentine shadows, as if the head had rotted and decomposed.
"Love Breathing! First Form: Tremors of First Love!" Mitsuri Kanroji flew close to Scorpio's skin,
pink slashes cut open its epidermis, and at the same time, bottles of antidote were scattered.
In just half a minute, Scorpio had sustained a certain degree of damage.
However, it would still take some time to completely defeat it.
Sanemi Shinazugawa looked at everyone, who were displaying great power with their divine artifacts, with some envy: "Our swords haven't been forged yet, but they should be soon."
Kyojuro Rengoku nodded: "I think so, but it seems we won't be the main force based on the situation."
The figure of Nezuko suddenly surpassed them: "If you can't be the main force, then throw antidotes on them and provide support!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa's eyes bulged. How can a mage like you charge faster than us?
"Kyojuro! Let's keep going!"
On the other side, in a wilderness less than five hundred kilometers from the Tokyo Area.
Here, a large number of Gastrea were marching, revering a Gastrea in the center, a hundred meters tall and shaped like a giraffe.
Six fifty-meter-tall Gastrea, resembling both mosquitoes and fleas, were raising their proboscises high, and a five-meter-diameter beam of light shot straight into the sky.
The bright, dazzling beam of light pierced through the clouds, seemingly intending to destroy satellites in space.
"Is this the Gastrea army 'Pleiades' that the Holy Son spoke of? And Aldebaran, which is close to Level 5?"
Saya Takagi stood on a hill, looking at the monster army before her, which resembled mythical creatures. Instead of fear, she excitedly licked her lips.
