Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1898 - 986: No. 9

Anti-gravity Technology gradually matured 320 years ago, and 289 years ago the first Aerial Fortress was born: the ”Radiance” of the West Continent.

Now Aerial Fortresses have gone through three generations of technological upgrades and become the unrivaled overlords of the sky. Once any power fails to build its own Aerial Fortress, it will gradually fall behind like Deer Island, its resources stripped away by others.

Yet this year, first He Jinqiu pierced through the Silver with a single sword, and then the Hundred-Eyed Demon sliced that Black Aerial Fortress layer by layer as if cutting a cake.

Whoever can, by their own strength alone, stand against the pinnacle of contemporary human technology will inevitably leave a bold, heavy stroke in the history of Transcendents.

Jindai Yunlo did not hesitate to sacrifice his own eyes to finally push the Hundred-Eyed Demon to the peak of the Demigod realm. He paid more than enough, and in return received more than enough.

At this very moment, half of the Royal Hovercraft have been shot down by her. The Aerial Fortress is hovering motionless in the sky, its command center destroyed, plunged into complete loss of control.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon alone has pinned down the fiercest Royal Air Force Fleet of the West Continent!

With every lift of her hand and step she took, drones kept shivering down from the sky, like street lamps on a summer night wrapped in insects, where a single blaze could burn away an entire swarm.

Yet even so, the West Continent fleet was still endless and fearless of death, determined to wear her down until she was completely exhausted.

Back then Silver City used this strategy against He Jinqiu; now the Royal Family is using the same strategy against the Hundred-Eyed Demon.

Pieces and pieces of drones self-destructed, turning into clusters of Fireworks in midair.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon sensed that Jindai Yunlo was in danger and intended to break out of the encirclement directly. But when her figure tried to slip through space as before, an invisible force pushed her back out of the void to where she had been!

Tens of thousands of drones from the Aerial Fortress and the remaining more than three hundred Hovercraft had already surrounded the Hundred-Eyed Demon in a tight circle, and King Roosevelt’s earlier arrival near Amber had been only to retrieve the Taboo spider web barrier ’copper rivet’, to seal this part of the world.

All of this was simply to weaken the power of space so the Hundred-Eyed Demon could not rush back to aid Jindai Yunlo.

As everyone knows, if you want to kill an Onmyoji, you must first kill the main body.

Once the main body dies, the shikigami will naturally dissipate.

Only now did Jindai Yunlo understand that from the very beginning, the Drama Master’s target list had included him.

The Parents’ Meeting was the primary target, and so was he.

Jindai Yunlo ’looked at’ King Roosevelt with his closed eyes and quipped in English, ”Drama Masters are truly terrifying beings. You can see fragments of fate and even have the nerve to use an Aerial Fortress as bait to trick the Hundred-Eyed Demon away from my side... That’s an Aerial Fortress we’re talking about.”

Shikigami such as Ma Mian Luo Cha, Tian Jingxia, Bai Rongyi and the others manifested one after another. Yet amid the combined assault of these shikigami, King Roosevelt strolled forward as if walking through a garden, dodging all attacks with nothing more than slight shifts of his body.

It was like a paired martial arts exhibition match, where one side went all out, yet managed to avoid so much as brushing their partner’s skin or hair.

No matter how hard the shikigami attacked, King Roosevelt stepped along the mountain path, walking easily to a stop not far away.

Jindai Yunlo praised, ”Impressive methods. If it weren’t for the fact that your lifespan is too short, I’d want to cultivate the Drama Master inheritance myself.”

King Roosevelt replied from dozens of meters away, ”The Eastern Continent has always had a backward understanding of war. When you lack long-range logistical support, it is of course crucial. But we’re already fighting at close quarters. Using it to trade for a Demigod we cannot otherwise deal with is naturally a good bargain.”

Takeshi Wuteng and Ryosuke Takahashi drew their katana from behind their backs and slowly stepped in front of Jindai Yunlo to block the way.

But Jindai Yunlo merely smiled. ”Luo Wanya, take those two and go.”

”We can’t leave!” Takeshi Wuteng shouted.

”You two inherited Qieshe Yumian and never trained specifically in echolocation. Now that your eyes are gone, find some secluded paradise and live out your days in peace. Don’t fight anymore,” Jindai Yunlo said with a squinting smile, then turned toward Luo Wanya again. ”You have to live, too. You have to let Qing Chen know just how much I’ve sacrificed!”

Luo Wanya thought to himself that at a time like this, he could still laugh.

Jindai Yunlo said softly, ”Go. Your presence here is meaningless. This isn’t a battle you can interfere in anymore.”

Luo Wanya turned, grabbed Takeshi Wuteng and Ryosuke Takahashi, and ran. The two Jindai retainers stumbled and fell as they struggled, so Luo Wanya simply dragged them by the wrists and kept running.

The aged King took a palm-sized Black Box from his black robe sleeve, opened it, and scooped out a bit of black ointment with his index and middle fingers.

Jindai Yunlo drew all his shikigami back to his side.

But King Roosevelt, as if no one else were present, slipped through every attack to reach him, as though the path he walked had already been fixed in fate—one he was destined and bound to arrive at.

No matter the Wild Wind and driving rain, no matter mountains collapsing, if a Drama Master resolved to walk it, he would reach the end unscathed.

The aged King of Drama Master, with the last fading light of his life, had come personally to the battlefield, carrying a terrifying plan.

His old, wrinkled fingers thrust resolutely through the gaps of the shikigami’s crossfire and smeared the black ointment into Jindai Yunlo’s already sightless eye sockets.

Jindai Yunlo found that there was nowhere to dodge. No matter how he tried to evade, it felt as if the other man’s fingers would inevitably arrive before him.
