Chapter 289 Absorption
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the darkness. Hino Eiji had the Oz driver on his waist and had placed three core coins in the center of the belt.

Hino Eiji held the Holy Emblem Sword and looked around vigilantly. The light did not become brighter as the distance increased. On the contrary, the further he walked forward, the dimmer the light became, as if it was being swallowed up by the surrounding darkness that was like a tide.

The ray of light seemed to be coming down from the sky, and he seemed like a person falling continuously.

Until he was completely submerged in the darkness, Oz's eyes flashed a red light. The special ability from the Eagle Core Coin was helping him adapt to this dark place.

As soon as Eiji Hino stepped into this place, he felt that this was a very special place.

Although it looks like a high-rise building, it has ordinary walls made of ordinary concrete.

But when he actually entered, he found that he seemed to be isolated from the outside world.

As he went deeper, it was not just the wall. He didn't know when,
The originally bright moon in the outside world also disappeared, and he seemed to have entered some unknown territory.

There is nothing here, it seems like the loneliest place in the world.

But now in the Oz Belt, the red core coin on the far left is constantly guiding Hino Eiji.

Following its guidance, even if the light disappeared completely, he did not feel afraid or lonely at all.

He didn't know how long he had walked before the Eagle Core Coin shot into the darkness with a colorful halo.
There, flames surrounded it like a giant burning bird, emitting a scorching aura in the darkness.

As he approached, the darkness around him was peeled away layer by layer.

The surroundings suddenly became bright, the darkness gradually disappeared, and a burning flame was emitted, dispelling the darkness.

Hino Eiji looked at the surrounding environment in surprise. Now it looked like a huge arena.

Opposite him was Anku's body, which had already awakened.

The sky here is still pitch black, although the surrounding flames illuminate this place.

But the ink-like darkness around is always trying to erode the light.

"Hand over my core coin, or you won't be able to leave here." said the bird-like Greed.

The red air waves hit Hino Eiji's body like a storm.

However, Hino Eiji just kept moving forward against this wave of energy.

Hino Eiji gently stroked the Eagle Core Coin.

"No, this is not yours, it belongs to Anku." Hino Eiji shook his head.

"The other core coins in your body belong to Anku, and I will take them away too," said Hino Eiji.

"Defeating you will not only allow Anku to recover, but will also allow Anku to be separated from Officer Izumi Shingo."

"So that's how it is. Although I was born late, I don't want to disappear." said the bird-like Greed.

There was a sword in his hand, and it was pointed at Hino Eiji.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two began to become tense.

In this arena, knights and monsters are facing each other with swords.

A burst of flames suddenly burst out from the red left hand, instantly enveloping Hino Eiji's body.

The temperature that was hot enough to melt steel burst out from his palms.

The perceived temperature around him soared to a level that ordinary people could not bear in just a moment.

But these cannot stop Eiji Hino's determination. No one can change what he has decided.

Although Anku has a bad temper and loses his temper from time to time, and does not take human life seriously when they first meet.

But in the process of getting along with each other, he found that Anku was not as ruthless as he seemed. Sometimes, he even felt that Anku was really like a child who had not grown up. This was really similar to the reason they made up for Miss Shiraishi.

So, he wanted to save him.

The two swords kept colliding with each other, making loud noises.

Not only are the three different colors intertwined on Oz's body, but as Oz's most basic combination, its abilities are the most balanced and consumes the least physical energy.

With a slight force on his legs, Oz's body turned into a beam of light and started fighting against the bird-type Greed.

Considering the distance and speed between the two people, it only took a few seconds.

Both sides were within their respective attack ranges. Compared to the vigorous swings of the Holy Emblem Sword, the newly refined bird sword seemed extremely light.

Dazzling sparks continuously exploded on Oz's limbs, carrying scorching flames and penetrating Oz's armor.

As the two people continued to collide, the eagle core coin began to glow continuously.

Under his own pursuit, Hino Eiji's huge desire has begun to affect the core coin in the Oz drive.

boom!
A light red gust of wind, as if it were a physical entity, suddenly exploded at zero distance on Hino Eiji's chest.

Hino Eiji quickly took a few steps back, and white smoke quickly burned from his body.

At the same time, the Oz Driver seemed to have reached its limit, and some blue-black arcs began to emerge.

Looking at Oz in front of him, bird-type Greed's left hand slightly ignited with flames.

Finally, it gathered into a small fireball in the palm of his hand, and the scorching heat caused the surrounding air to distort slightly.

It seemed like it would hit Hino Eiji's body directly in the next moment.

Looking at the Oz Armor that has reached its limit, Hino Eiji also knows that he needs to replace the core coin to maintain his transformed state.

However, he didn't simply want to replace the core coin.

I saw Hino Eiji take out the coin storage box he had picked up, and then took out all the core coins stored in it in one go.

Taking a deep breath, Hino Eiji looked at the seven or eight core coins in his hand, imitating the king from 800 years ago in the video.

He threw the core coin upwards, and the core coins that Anku had collected with great effort were immediately thrown into the sky.

Immediately, he took out the Oz scanner from his waist and scanned the core coin in the air at an extremely fast speed.

Suddenly, the core coin expanded violently and began to rotate rapidly under the activation of the Oz system.

Several disc-sized core coins illuminated Oz's body.

Hino Eiji looked at the core coins floating in the air, and with a determined heart, he forcibly absorbed these core coins whose power had been activated.

The core coins were all absorbed by Hino Eiji in almost an instant.

That amount of core coins, enough to make a Greed go berserk, was actually completely devoured by Hino Eiji.

"I should have enough strength to defeat you now," said Hino Eiji.

As he guessed, the king at that time couldn't do it, but that didn't mean he couldn't do it.

This is also the reason why he wanted to go to the Hongshang Group headquarters again to meet with Hongshang Mitsuo.

Because when he heard Anku separate his body and consciousness, he was already thinking about how to utilize the power of other core coins.

If three are not enough, then keep absorbing them and increase your strength to the limit to defeat the enemy.
