Chapter 225 The Setting Sun After It Burns Out
As the man's murmurs began, the setting sun officially dipped below the western mountains.
Roger looked around.
The world's colors returned at this moment, but along with them came a monster that shouldn't have existed.
He withdrew his gaze and focused all his attention on the enemy not far away.
The monster's original body turned grayish-white.
As cracks appeared on the surface, a pair of pale, flawless hands pierced through the snakeskin.
The same pale scales quickly pierced the skin and covered the man's body.
but!
Roger saw the emptiness in Bazel's palm.
And the eeriness in the slowly opening eyelids.
The pupils disappeared, replaced by a crescent moon in the sky!
Shift your gaze downwards.
A snake tail several meters long replaced the legs.
Unlike the scales on its upper body, the scales covering its tail seem to have their own consciousness.
When illuminated by moonlight, it rises and falls like fish gills, as if it is breathing.
"The sound has gone out again—"
Roger frowned slightly when he realized he could no longer hear anything from Bazel.
This is not a good sign.
Whether it's flowers, trees, flying fish, birds, or beasts, even historical texts have their own voices.
But at this moment, Bazel's voice "disappeared".
"When the setting sun burns out—"
With a blank expression, Bazel suddenly raised his hand.
The hollow in the palm is aimed at the enemy.
"It is the time when the bright moon descends."
Roger, who was on high alert, suddenly changed his expression, took a step, and rolled to his side in an extremely awkward manner.
next second!
The crescent moon in the sky shone brightly, and a beam of moonlight suddenly shone down.
There was no sound of explosion; the ground where Roger had been standing seemed to have been cleaved by an invisible blade.
As Bazel's palm moved, so did the beam of moonlight.
Before long, a ditch a hundred meters deep appeared.
Suddenly!
A red light flashed in Bazel's eyes.
The snake's tail lightly patted the ground, and its entire body transformed into a blur, shifting several body lengths to the side.
Just then, Roger broke through the dust and, having missed with his first strike, immediately raised his leg and kicked.
Bang--!!
There is no domineering aura attached to it.
Body to body collide at this moment.
Bazel's snake tail moved upwards, quickly wrapping around Roger's ankle, and then pulled hard.
His clenched right fist suddenly transformed into an elemental form, turning into the deep blue color that only lightning possesses.
Boom!
With a single punch, Roger's black hair quickly turned into an afro under the lightning.
"You truly live up to your name as a monster, but you've already been controlled by its power, Bazel!!"
"I am never controlled by power."
Bazel's empty face remained unchanged.
The snake's tail twitched again, disrupting the enemy's balance as they swung their sword.
"Humans have eight characteristics: greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, aversion, and desire."
"Only the primal instinct of the final eighth phase can suppress all emotions."
He turned his head to dodge the enemy's slash, but his left arm was severed and he fell to the ground.
Bazel showed no sign of pain and forcefully swung the snake tail that was binding the enemy's ankle.
Taking advantage of the enemy's backward flight, it used its tail tip to lift up the severed arm.
As the moonlight shone down, the severed area of the left arm, like budding flesh, regenerated into the body in just a few breaths.
"The setting sun represents the final madness; only when the setting sun has burned out will the true self emerge."
"Your previous guesses were all correct, Roger, but there's one thing."
Bazel looked out over the silent mountains and fields, and with the help of his Observation Haki, he sensed a figure moving swiftly through the darkness.
The snake's tail lightly slapped the ground, and it shot out like an arrow.
"The power of 'Oma Omoita' is not for summoning yokai, but for suppressing them."
"All seven human emotions are demons; only by burning away these demons can the true self escape its cage."
The crescent moon beam reappeared!
The forest was cleaved by the light blade at night, leaving a huge trail hundreds of meters long.
boom-!
The two, separated by the abyss, unleashed their powerful charisma in perfect unison.
Roger's lips curled up, and the playful and teasing look that had lingered in his eyes vanished completely.
Instead, there was madness and excitement.
"That's it!"
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Bazel. You're now worthy of my full power!"
"This era is truly the best of times!"
Thump!
The ground is cracked.
Roger leaped up, raising his right hand, which held the knife, high.
"cut!!"
boom boom boom—
The power contained in the strike shattered the earth and destroyed the mountains and forests.
Seeing the enemy raise his right hand again, Roger instinctively tried to dodge the beam of light shooting down from the sky.
"A reverse wind".
A powerful suction force emanated from the man's palm.
Roger remained unfazed and used the momentum to propel himself forward, the black and red lightning disappearing into the famous sword Ace.
"Aramitama!"
puff--!!
His upper body was nearly split in two, and Bazel's face turned even paler.
But Roger, who had achieved such a result, suddenly changed his expression.
"You deliberately let me hit you?!"
Bazel's deadpan face finally broke into a triumphant smile.
"Awaken, Orochi's blood!"
The blood splattered on Roger's body awakened him.
"The Pharaoh's Tomb!!"
As he retreated rapidly, Bazel's lips were wide open.
As a pair of hands tore apart the corner of his lips, a flawless, brand-new Bazel reappeared.
Huff, huff —
The not-so-heavy breathing lasted only a few breaths.
Roger, who was about to give chase, suddenly stopped, his face grim.
He saw the enemy molting, and his Observation Haki reflected back the enemy's weakened aura.
This should have been the perfect moment to launch a pursuit, but at this moment he was pinned down by the blood spikes that had taken root in his body.
Let alone chasing, even running and jumping are difficult to complete.
Bazel clasped his hands together forcefully.
"Seal the coffin!"
boom-!!
The blood began to multiply, engulfing Roger at an extremely rapid pace, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a blood-red coffin.
"!!!"
Bazel retreated a little further.
While the Pharaoh's Tomb technique is troublesome, it has absolutely no chance of killing the enemy.
He never expected to kill his opponent with this move.
Raise your right hand.
The crescent moon in the sky shone brightly.
But before the light blade could strike, an extraordinary aura far surpassing the previous one suddenly erupted!
The blood of Yagi is dead —
Bazel frowned slightly.
The third gear requires nine snake spirits to maintain, and even when the setting sun burns out during the Demon Encounter, these nine snake spirits still exist within the body.
His ability to use Moonlight Slash and unleash elemental attacks is related to the special blessing during the Twilight Shrine, but it is also inseparable from the awakening element of the Phantom Serpent Spirit.
The difference is that elemental awakening in this state does not require any process; as long as he thinks of it, elemental attacks can be launched.
After fighting for so long, he only had this last snake spirit left.
The plan was to bind the enemy with the blood of Orochi, and then unleash a slash with the Moon Wheel.
Even if you can't kill them, you can still achieve excellent results.
But no one expected the enemy's intuition and instincts to be so sharp.
He lowered his palm and changed the target of the light blade's strike to the area in front of him.
The next instant, Roger, who had merged his body with the sword and was slashing swiftly, collided with the light blades falling from the sky.
cut!
Another loud shout shattered the descending light blade.
A ruthless glint flashed in Roger's eyes. Ignoring the fist his enemy threw at him, he changed his grip on the sword to a reverse grip, with two-colored Haki coiling around it.
Then it swivels diagonally upwards!
*Pfft!* / *Bang!*
Bazel suffered another deep, bone-revealing wound on his upper body.
In exchange, his fist successfully struck the enemy's head.
The two men vomited blood and flew backwards in opposite directions.
In the middle of flying backwards, they insert their legs or tail into the ground to forcibly stop the backward momentum.
"Fire Fist!!"
His right arm transformed into a blazing, elemental arm!
With a punch, a horizontal flame covering hundreds of meters pressed down on the enemy.
After unleashing a fiery punch, Bazel dared not linger.
The elemental right hand returned to normal, then turned pitch black again.
"Black Chaos!"
His body leaped back and merged into the night sky.
Not far away, Roger glanced at the ring of fire enveloping him, then sheathed his blade and drew it again.
The wind from the Iaijutsu slash extinguished the flames.
"Your abilities are really troublesome."
His eyes darted back and forth within their sockets, but his body remained perfectly still.
Roger activated his Observation Haki, but he was still unable to find any trace of the enemy.
As for listening to the voice of all things—
The other party has already said that those so-called "demons" have been burned and suppressed, and the remaining self is naturally empty, which means there is nothing left.
The other party may still be alive, but they have lost their essence.
Naturally, it is not within the scope of all things.
"He's incredibly intelligent, almost demonic. No wonder he's known as the mind of all beasts."
"Bazaar, would you like to join our Roger Pirates?"
"I can add another first mate position; your wisdom even surpasses Rayleigh's."
Even without a response, Roger still refused to give up the opportunity to persuade them.
"I want to find the answers to the world. Join us, Bazel!"
"With your help, the Roger Pirates will definitely be able to uncover the truth that the World Government has hidden for eight hundred years as quickly as possible!"
"This sea will soon be free!!"
