It should be known that the strength of this black iron coffin is such that neither matter nor energy can break through this terrifying treasure.
To put it simply, even at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion, this coffin would remain unharmed.
Isn't that amazing?
Takanashi Touka was genuinely astonished to hear that even a nuclear bomb couldn't break through this coffin.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch the black iron coffin, his face full of disbelief.
Keep in mind that the center of a nuclear explosion has a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees.
It can vaporize any known substance in the world.
I never expected this coffin to be so terrifying.
"It's unbelievable that it can withstand a nuclear explosion."
Zhongli was not surprised by Takanashi Touka's surprise.
Even he himself was shocked.
On the day when the source of spirituality evolved into divine wisdom.
He then used his divine craftsmanship to refine the black iron coffin carried by the coffin bearer at dusk.
During the refining process, Zhongli fed him a massive amount of spiritual energy, and it took him quite a while to gain initial control over it.
That's right, it's just the initial stage of control.
Even though Zhongli had advanced to the intermediate level of a spirit mage, his refining was still only at a preliminary stage.
Despite being merely a lower-level supernatural core, it seems to possess extremely strong potential.
Because it was only a preliminary understanding, some of the black iron coffin's special abilities were activated, and its original abilities seemed to have been changed and strengthened.
Although the black iron coffin unexpectedly possessed great potential, Zhongli was still very happy to be able to refine it into a magical artifact.
Even though using a coffin as a ritual implement is strange, it doesn't change the fact that it's powerful.
Zhongli even gave this magical artifact a name.
The Demon Coffin
Because the activated characteristics and abilities of the Demon Coffin seem to be specifically designed to seal away a powerful demon.
Chapter 38 The Mysterious and Terrifying Demon Coffin, and the Baoyue Sisters.
The Demon Coffin
[Level]: Intermediate Magical Artifact
【ability】:
Entering the coffin: When a living being comes into contact with a coffin, it will be irresistibly sucked into it.
Permanent: The coffin possesses the property of being indestructible. It cannot be broken by pure matter and energy, but only by rules and regulations. However, the indestructible property allows the coffin to be repaired within a certain period of time.
Eternal sleep: The creature that inhales the coffin will gradually fall into a deep, silent sleep and eventually reach complete slumber, which is death.
Black Prison: Inside the coffin is a pitch-black, boundless, deathly space where living beings are irresistibly weakened.
Ruyi: The coffin can change size.
Commander: Can be controlled freely, with a range of kilometers.
When Zhongli refined the Demon Coffin and learned of its power, he was quite shocked.
This is definitely a sealing artifact, and its properties haven't been fully activated yet.
If fully activated, its power is unimaginable.
However, judging from its abilities, this magical artifact is specifically designed to seal away some terrifying being.
Furthermore, based on the fact that the Demon Coffin was still a supernatural entity, it can be inferred that the race included spirits and monsters.
The demonic coffin was revived into a supernatural entity by spiritual energy.
They happened to be encountered by a legendary species that could not die, and after a fierce struggle, they merged together.
The Demon Coffin became the dominant force, the core of the supernatural phenomenon.
Adding to this, the logic of the coffin bearers at dusk is that they continuously merge people into the coffins to kill them, and then spit them out and bury them in the ground.
It's obvious they're targeting someone to seal away.
It's important to understand that the behavior of spirits and monsters is based on the functional characteristics of objects.
From this, we can infer that the Demon Coffin originally sealed something.
It's just that it's run away now, and it needs to find the seal again.
Of course, these are all Zhongli's guesses.
Whether it's true or not doesn't matter; what matters is that he now owns this magical artifact.
With the Demon Coffin present, Zhongli's actual combat strength has increased significantly.
Imagine him lifting the demonic coffin and smashing it directly into the enemy's face.
If you suck the enemy into the boundless dark prison space, the enemy can only wait to die.
Unless he understands the rules and attributes, he has no way to escape.
They can only be weakened and put into a deep sleep inside, until they die.
The Demon Coffin is also extremely powerful for defense.
The Ruyi can be enlarged and placed in front of you, or you can hide inside it; all attacks with non-standard attributes can be blocked.
After all, he had already gained a basic grasp of the Demon Coffin and would not be affected by the Black Prison.
In addition, Zhongli can even use the Black Prison Space as a storage vault.
After all, it's incredibly vast inside; even if you suck an enemy in, you won't be able to get what they've stored away.
Previously, Zhongli kept taking out various magical artifacts and miscellaneous items from his empty bag.
In fact, it already exceeds the empty bag, with a storage capacity of two cubic meters.
That's because he put everything into the demon coffin inside the empty bag.
Just like a nesting doll, the two-cubic-meter empty bag contains the demon coffin.
Inside the demon coffin lies an endless, dark prison space.
Therefore, relying solely on the various abilities of the Demon Coffin.
Zhongli dared to confront a high-level spiritualist who had no rules or attributes.
This is why Zhongli is confident in accepting intermediate-level supernatural missions with higher danger levels.
……
Just as Zhongli was leading the little bird through the ten flowers, riding the demonic coffin, soaring towards the mission location.
Some people have already arrived at the mission location ahead of time.
Hachioji City Natural Park, Tokyo.
It's now 10 p.m., and the woods in the nature park look eerie.
But there were two sisters, one big and one small, waiting outside the woods, seemingly waiting for someone.
The older sister's name is Hōgetsu Eiko. (From the Dark Gathering)
She wore a headband and had long, wavy orange hair.
She has a delicate, smiling face, a tall and slender figure, and is wearing an off-the-shoulder knit sweater and shorts.
Her long, shapely thighs were encased in dark pink stockings, and her hands were clad in matching dark pink leather gloves.
The younger sister's name is Baoyue Yexiao. (From the Dark Gathering)
She has long, purple jellyfish-like hair tied into two small braids, with a cowlick on her head.
Its purple eyes strangely reflected the shape of a skull.
The child's small figure was mostly hidden by the large, bulky purple trench coat.
She had short legs and was wearing a pair of shark-shaped shoes.
She looks like a child or toddler, but she's deliberately wearing adult clothes.
Fortunately, Bao Yue's expression remained expressionless and blank throughout the night.
That's what makes this outfit not look strange, but even strangely cute.
While the Baoyue sisters waited quietly outside the woods.
Baoyue Yongzi looked at her cousin with curiosity.
"Midnight snack, the person who will be giving out the mission will be here soon."
Will he agree to let us participate in the mission together and restrain the supernatural?
Bao Yue shook her head.
"I don't know, we'll have to negotiate."
As he spoke, he looked at his cousin and gave her a rather unconventional suggestion.
"If the negotiations fail, Yongzi, you should seduce him."
With Yongzi's lewd figure and looks, there's definitely no problem.
"How could you do this? I'm your cousin."
Baoyue Yongzi's eyes widened slightly as she glared angrily at Baoyue Yexiao.
Seeing that her suggestion was rejected, Bao Yue looked at her own young body and fell into thought.
I wonder if the person who accepted the mission likes young girls.
If I like someone, I can even seduce them.
If Hōgetsu Eiko knew what Hōgetsu Night Snack was thinking, she'd probably be furious.
What kind of pervert would like young girls? That's really a bizarre way of thinking.
At that moment, Bao Yue, who was deep in thought, twitched her ears slightly.
Hearing a faint sound of wind breaking in the sky, which grew louder and louder, he immediately looked up.
Then they saw a black iron coffin descending from the sky, heading towards the forest.
The key point is that Bao Yue saw two people sitting on the coffin during her late-night snack.
The boy among them was the one she was waiting for.
Bao Yue immediately pulled her cousin along and chased after them.
"Yongzi, the person who gave us the mission is here. Let's hurry and catch up with them."
As she was being dragged along, Hozuki Eiko naturally saw the person on the coffin.
"This is the first time I've ever seen someone fly in a coffin. It's truly an eye-opener."
Zhongli, who was controlling the descent of the demonic coffin, heard the sound of someone running behind him and turned around in confusion.
He then saw the Baoyue sisters running and jumping through the woods, chasing after him at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.
It's obvious he's not an ordinary person.
Who are these two guys?
Why does it look like they were waiting specifically for me?
Zhongli activated his Spirit Observation Technique to examine the data panels of the two individuals.
