I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 395 - 31: So They’re Not Reinforcements? (Part 3)
Talisman paper, bow and arrow, shikigami...
The witch wielded these techniques with perfect precision, and in this moment, she fully employed them. Not long ago, when Gu Mo and Hidechika’s reflections had clashed, she effortlessly held back Kaguya without feeling any strain.
But although it seemed she was handling things with ease, anyone could see that the situation would eventually favor someone, and Gu Mo naturally frowned deeply. Only now did he realize the difficulty of facing such a high-level opponent, especially someone like this fierce shrew Kaguya, who in the original storyline seemed as if she was genuinely targeted by the world.
Her ultimate moves defy the heavens, her equipment is powerful, she is proficient in various spells, with attack, defense, control, burst, mobility... She has everything, and her close combat skills are not lacking at all, even possessing an immortal body that cannot be killed by conventional means.
She is essentially a great demon template formed through successful devouring, with fully-developed ability values and no weaknesses, an enemy that’s truly unmovable under normal circumstances.
"It’s you..."
At this moment, a voice filled with gritted teeth interrupted Gu Mo’s thoughts. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
He turned his head, unsurprised to see the furiously blazing Inuyasha. The flames of some kind of fury seemed to burn in the other’s eyes, and he had already drawn the Iron Shattering Fang at his waist, glaring at him intensely, as if ready to charge over and strike any moment.
"It’s me..." Gu Mo blinked, "What’s wrong? Is there a problem, Second Dog?"
"...Damn it!"
Seeing this guy feign innocence, Inuyasha was infuriated, his teeth grinding. The recent incident where he was mocked by an illusion was enough to drive him mad.
Taking a deep breath, he asked angrily, "What exactly did you do to Kikyo?"
"..."
"..."
"Did what..." Gu Mo pondered the question briefly, letting out a slight dismissive laugh, "What do you mean? I’ve done quite a lot of things."
"You bastard! I won’t forgive you!"
Already at his limit of anger, Inuyasha naturally felt even more enraged. With gritted teeth, he lifted his large sword and chopped down directly, employing his classic Powerful Slash of Hua Mountain... Despite wanting to master the ultimate secret technique beforehand, he had never consciously executed a Wind Injury.
Even knowing the key trick to the Wind Injury secret technique, he still hadn’t found the true threshold to entry, so there was nothing he could do. Especially with his inherently reckless and impulsive nature, as soon as his temper flared, he would immediately forget everything he had been pondering!
"I thought those who came were allies. This is truly bothersome..."
Gu Mo sighed. As soon as Big Dog arrived, he thought about reclaiming the sword he was supposed to inherit from his father. Meanwhile, Second Dog also immediately targeted him, seemingly oblivious to where the real enemy was...
However, at this moment, in a demonized state comparable to Sesshomaru’s, Inuyasha’s speed was extremely slow, as if everything around had slowed down.
Though Inuyasha charged with full force, he surely didn’t know that, in the eyes of the fox-eared fellow opposite, the air had thickened like liquid, dragging his body with a certain resistance, making his speed appear in slow motion.
—Boom!
The massive fang-shaped sword came crashing down with force, creating a huge crater in the ground, debris flying like shrapnel. The counterforce made Second Dog’s wrist tingle slightly; he angrily gritted his teeth, looking around for the vanished target, even glancing behind him warily at the first opportunity.
He had painful memories in this area, often wildly swinging without hitting the opponent, who would stand behind him like a ghost with a grim face...
He was referring to Sesshomaru!
And the recent despicable guy! Those capable of silent movement and extraordinary speed could easily suffer a major setback in this regard.
Yet, this didn’t happen. Finally surveying his surroundings, Inuyasha found something even more maddening—the guy had already appeared beside Kikyo, delivering a sword strike that drove Kaguya back.
However, Kaguya didn’t seem anxious. Instead, she chuckled coldly, doing a backflip to widen the distance, dodging the incoming Demon-Breaking Arrow and magic sword combo, while confidently mocking, "More people keep coming, but you can’t do anything... Nothing changes, my power is limitless..."
Just like this repeatedly shattered Dream City, which always managed to restore itself the next moment, is proof enough that these people will never truly kill her. She is the eternal Celestial Maiden, capable of rapidly regenerating no matter how many times her body is blasted apart.
How can these people confront her! They can be worn out to death!
The icy-tempered witch remained silent, indeed feeling the situation was somewhat dire, yet she wouldn’t express it. Instead, she instinctively glanced at someone—as if she had unconsciously formed a habit of reliance, believing that someone would have a way.
"A rare and formidable adversary, truly exhilarating enough to stir my battle spirit..."
Gu Mo glanced at his hand, as the sinister aura from the demon sword dispersed, Cloudy Fang’s deep laughter echoed in the air, "Though your demonic power is strong, it’s still lacking compared to that fellow. Now, penetrating the enemy’s domain, there’s simply no hope of winning..."
"What do you want to say?" Gu Mo asked calmly, well aware that this was a double-edged sword.
"Use me, don’t resist my power... Didn’t you say this woman turned the earth into eternal night? As long as we don’t take her down, I’ll never see daylight again. So why don’t we join forces and send her to the Netherworld?"
Cloudy Fang issued its evil temptation, attempting to persuade its new host.
"I can open the Gate of the Underworld, lend me your power, and I will lend you mine..."
The new host faintly smirked. All he wanted was a chance to unleash a Prison Dragon Break, and yet this demon sword persistently tried to convince him to open the gate to hell directly.
Truly sinister intentions.
Even so, with even a mighty great demon like the Great Dog General having been devoured and killed by it, this demon sword never held any loyalty from start to finish. It’s not about siding with whoever is strongest; it continuously seeks chances to retaliate, regardless of its master’s strength or ability to temporarily suppress its malevolent aura.
"Inuyasha!"
Himura Kagome’s scream suddenly rang out as she drew her bow, firing an arrow. Though her arrow’s trajectory was precise, it lacked Kikyo’s decisive ferocity. After a long aim, it merely dispersed a swirl of dancing cherry blossoms.
Kaguya’s form had already appeared behind Second Dog, who was carrying his massive fang sword and striding quickly over, utterly unaware of this presence. Only upon hearing Himura Kagome’s scream did he become sharply aware, although he reacted quickly, spinning frantically to sweep around with his sword!
The Iron Shattering Fang abruptly froze, much like his pupils contracted to their limit.
"Wha-what..."
Kaguya extended a fair, jade-like palm, directly blocking the blade of the Iron Shattering Fang, while presenting her treasured mirror with a sly, soft voice, imbued with an enchanting magic power.
"Just like that, your heart seems filled with anger... unwillingness, ambition, desiring strength... Hahaha, yes, just like that, come, let me grant you power."
She realized that this group, while seemingly numerous, actually split into three factions with underlying clashes and conflicts—an ideal breakthrough point. Big Dog was clearly not easy to provoke, and the detestable fox and witch were likewise unwise choices.
So the impulsive and reckless Inuyasha, also a half-demon, naturally became Kaguya’s best victim.
Much like the original fate track...
The mirror reflected a half-demon doppelgänger with blood-red eyes and two purple-red demon markings on his cheeks identical to Sesshomaru’s! His blood-red eyes and demon markings peered from the mirror at the astonished "self" in the outside world, showing a sinister, cruelly arrogant smile!
