I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 403 - 61: Ballad
"Can we start singing now..."
Listening to Mokaka's reminder, Yun You's heart trembled.
She glanced at Jiang Xing, who was wrapped in layers of Energy Shields and Light Shields. Under his puzzled gaze, she took a step back, then pulled a cylindrical object from her pocket.
Jiang Xing initially thought it was another weapon, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was actually a microphone embedded with cat ear models.
Although he had heard Mokaka's music before and knew about some of its power, Mokaka had only ever played instrumental music, and there had never been a lead singer, so he was caught off guard.
However, Jiang Xing didn't care.
"Hmph, pretending to be mysterious."
He snorted coldly, clenching his fists tightly again.
Jiang Xing didn't care if Mokaka could play music, nor did he care that the band had a new lead singer.
He just wanted to fight, to have a hearty battle of life and death.
Seeing this, Yun You transformed the Red Scale Scimitar back into the Giant Claw.
If she needed to sing and fight simultaneously, the flexibility of claws would definitely surpass that of blades.
Both sides re-entered a standoff, like two fierce beasts meeting on a narrow path, ready to pounce on each other at any moment.
But at that moment, Mokaka suddenly opened a Floating Piano beside her on the distant stage, and her slender fingers hit the piano keys heavily.
"Hey! Mr. Mummy over there!"
Mokaka seemed to be addressing Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xing was slightly stunned, instinctively wanting to respond, but a cheerful piano prelude shattered the battlefield's silence.
The holographic projection unfolded Mokaka's DJ patterns in the sky, and she shouted into the microphone, "Now it's time for D·T·S's performance!"
Mokaka's fingertips danced on the piano keys, and colorful sonic waves erupted in the sky above the battlefield, seemingly out of nowhere.
What she played was nothing like an elegant nocturne, but a fast-paced rock music! Each press of the black and white keys burst out visible walls of sound, and the cheers from the people below turned into a sea of support sticks with the help of the stage equipment.
"It's time for a clear-out!"
Yun You took half a step back again, performing an aerial somersault with the 8-bit sound effects made by drones, and opened her mouth.
As soon as she started to sing, the bloody smell in the air turned into the scent of strawberry bubblegum in the noses of others.
"The wind blows from the heart, dreams are shining."
"There's no more fear, stepping with the light, the story you painted... grab it with your own hands!"
The girl's voice flowed out like a stream, combining with the melodious and brisk music, creating an invisible yet incredibly powerful musical force.
And then, the incredible happened.
The moment the song reached the boy's ears, he suddenly froze in place, and the hexagonal defensive Light Shield around him twisted into a heart shape!
Instinctively, he struck an idol's cheering pose, and his bandaged legs uncontrollably started dancing an otaku dance, which was rather mechanical, fitting his mummy appearance...
The thugs watching from a distance had it even worse—a burly man with a Phurba tattoo suddenly stabbed his machete into the ground and started breakdancing to the beat, occasionally shrugging his shoulders in moves he considered completely unmanly...
A sniper who was reloading scattered his bullets into the sky like confetti, and started performing Swan Lake with his large gun; someone else used a rocket launcher as a microphone to howl into, harmonizing with Yun You's singing, serving as a free backup singer for the chorus.
The most outrageous were the Beastification Death Gods whose remains danced in the song, with their beastly joints colliding to play the drums along with the beat!
The entire battlefield transformed into an absurd dance hall in an instant.
"Damn it... damn it..."
"What's going on?!!"
Jiang Xing's pupils shrank, and after struggling for a while, he finally snapped out of it.
He had no idea how he got controlled, nor any recollection of it, his brain seemed to have crashed in a moment, and the battle intent swirling in his heart was mostly consumed by the melody.
But the piano and guitar bass sounds were actually secondary; the key was Yun You's singing.
The little girl's voice was indeed impeccable, but that wasn't the focus... the focus was Yun You's voice, which acted as an "amplifier" during the singing, elevating the inherently persuasive song to change one's mind in an instant.
"What a sinister and devilish song, to be able to have such a terrifying effect..."
Jiang Xing gritted his teeth, unable to resist retorting, "Mokaka, have you received some dark god's blessing?"
Hearing this, Mokaka, who was pounding the piano keys, immediately got displeased.
Indeed, recently she had heard something whispering in her ear, and in her dreams, she would see a woman with countless arms, occasionally teaching her music theory.
But Mokaka had never paid attention to these voices.
"What dark god, I, Mokaka, conduct myself righteously, all my music is self-taught, combined with the experiences of predecessors, and has nothing to do with any dark god, so don't babble."
As soon as these words were said, Jiang Xing chuckled a few times, his eyes full of indifference.
"Whatever, whether you have been blessed by a dark god or not, today, I'm going to punch through your false peace..."
Saying this, he took a deep breath, tightened his fist, and swung it towards Yun You.
But at that moment, the exhilarating music sounded again, pushing the concert's atmosphere to a climax!
Mokaka's image in the air suddenly transformed into a giant pink cat,
"..."
Jiang Xing's mid-swing punch once again stalled, and the USB port at his spine sparked.
Strangely enough, a tear uncontrollably rolled down his bandaged face... his costly electronic eyes, bought with a fortune from the Black Market, and allegedly impeccable "Military Technology" gear, were now reacting to some virtual diva's pixel effects!
"Sequence second characteristic... zz... absolute defen... zz..."
Jiang Xing's electronic voice started going off-key, with fluorescent light seeping through the bandage gaps.
Every time Yun You sang the chorus, "stride towards the future with light," he would mechanically strike an opera troupe-style exaggerated pose, looking like a virus-infected robot.
But Mokaka seemed unsatisfied...
"Let's hit you with the hard stuff!"
Mokaka licked her lips and lifted open the piano's lid, revealing not the piano's structure but old-school arcade buttons inside.
"Take my full-screen attack!"
She slammed the buttons fiercely, and in an instant, the entire battlefield turned into a projection interface of a drum rhythm game, with flashing hit circles under everyone's feet and virtual notes above their heads!
"Although I couldn't find a drummer after searching for a long time, I did learn some drumming techniques... well... learning through games is still learning after all."
"A little side gig shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Mokaka grinned, with a sly look on her pretty little face.
