"Pfft."

When the first streak of blood burning with ghost energy was exposed in the air along with the damage to Niu Gui's clothes, everything seemed to have opened Pandora's box and gradually began to fall into an irreversible situation.

More and more scars began to be inflicted on his body, and many negative emotions such as pain, irritability, and uneasiness began to erode his state of mind along with the escaped demonic power, making his efficiency in wielding the sword even lower.

And the reason for all this is the strange demon-exorting sword with blue demonic flames!!

This kind of war blade is specially forged against monsters.

It can easily cut open the bodies that monsters are proud of, and it can even block their ability to heal on their own. It is one of the most powerful tools used by the Yin Yang Family to deal with monsters.

However, it doesn't matter if the opponent is just a weak Onmyoji who only relies on this demon sword, because the hundreds of years of accumulation belonging to the great demon are not something that humans can cross at will.

But the boy in front of me is different,

He is wrapped in the aura of a monster,

Coupled with the extremely weird movement skills and secret techniques, the century-old gap between the two people has been continuously narrowed!!

【calm,

】

【calm.】

Staring at the abominable Onmyoji in his field of vision, Niu Gui kept repeating it in his mind, and forcibly suppressed the onmyoji power that was eroding his body like gangrene of the tarsal bones.

only,

【what happened!】

Niu Gui shook his head fiercely, and for the first time, an unprecedented expression appeared in the corners of his sharp eyes.

Because I don’t know if the yin and yang magic power that is constantly eroding his body is affecting his own state, or for some other reason, the human boy in his field of vision temporarily disappeared from his field of vision!!

This is by no means an illusion caused by any movement technique, but a substantial disappearance from the visual senses!

But the raging breath that was boiling in the air, and the powerful oppression condensed in the air, reminded him all the time that this was not a real disappearance.

That person is still there,

Just stand upright in front of yourself!

However, due to some internal emotions like fear or anxiety interfering with his own judgment, fragments like screen flashes appeared in his field of vision.

【Or maybe it is!】

Suddenly, Niu Gui's vision suddenly stretched behind the human boy.

I saw that in the thick fog that almost covered the entire Eye Mountain, there were powerful monsters that were hard to count at a glance. The pairs of scarlet monster eyes were filled with different emotions.

And the demonic power that condenses and rushes to the sky,

Astonishingly, he was driven by the young onmyoji in his sight!!

【That is,

】

【That is the fear of monsters!】

[This is proof that other creatures are afraid of them!]

[It is also one of the strongest sources of power for monsters!!]

Niu Gui's exposed left eye trembled in disbelief.

But the boy in the field of vision is clearly a human being, so how can he borrow the power of a monster like this?

That belongs to the lord of monsters,

It is the power and power that can only be borrowed from a great monster that is sincerely recognized by its followers!!

Just like you can borrow the entire Eye Mountain family to increase your pressure, but how can a mere human being borrow it?

There should not be such a relationship between humans and monsters!!

What should be shown is incompatible mutual hostility and fighting with each other!!

This is the biggest doubt in Niu Gui's mind.

Of course, about this power.

When the monster team you belong to is dismantled, the borrowed power will naturally collapse.

"Hey, where are you looking?"

"Your opponent is me."

Stepping on the early sun that was falling on the mountain top, Huang, who was mastering the secret skill [Mirror Water], quietly approached Niu Gui, and slashed down with the horizontal sword without any hesitation or carelessness.

Fighting against this kind of existence that is already at the forefront of most monsters, any slight is irresponsible to oneself and disrespectful to the other party!!

"Keng!"

Similar to the sound of metal colliding,

I saw four pairs of ferocious white bone claws tearing out from the cow ghost's back at some point.

And firmly resisted the attack of Huang Xia.

this time,

Even the horizontal sword with the power of [Yamiki Maru] could not easily break through the monster's defense.

Instead, the whine of the blade became clearer and crisper, and spider-like cracks began to gradually spread from the collision point.

This spread is slow but steady,

People can't help but worry about how long this demon-repelling knife can last.

However, this is also understandable.

Because the terrifying claws that suddenly tore open the cow ghost's back and protruded from its body were the hardest demon bones except for the war blade in its hand!!

"You are the first human being to step here in a hundred years."

And at this moment, Ushiki, who lowered his sword to the ground, suddenly spoke.

Through the dense demon bones blocking him, one could vaguely see the cold sharpness and a hint of shallow and complex color in his eyes.

"Hey, first one?"

"The first one, isn't it yourself? Ukiki, no, Umewakamaru."

The damage to the war blade and the opponent's increasingly powerful brute force did not move Huang very much.

because,

Behind Yu is a companion of monsters,

In this vast mountain range, there are still people who are trying to catch up with themselves.

He won't stop here!

"In other words, these hundreds of years have made you forget your past identity, erased the memories you held on to in the past, and made you wonder why you are here!!"

Huang asked back with his gaze unflinching,

At the same time, the bird spirit body lingering in the void wisteria landed on his shoulders and arms, and its own situation of being pressed backwards by the sharp white claws gradually stopped.

This was the great monster Inugami helping him resist the brute force of the bull demon, and before that, a bright mark had been pushed out from under his feet unconsciously.

【The boy who slayed the dragon eventually became the evil dragon.】

In the past, a twelve-year-old human genius lost all will to continue living as a human being after slaying the monster Ushiki who killed his mother.

He began to curse the gods, the Buddha, and the world that took away his parents. He turned into a monster and began to hunt and devour passing humans as a memorial to his parents every moment.

Gradually, it was also called the Niugui by the world.

But, I don’t know if it’s been decades or hundreds of years,

Umewakamaru, no, the Umon Demon has begun to gradually forget the love his parents gave him, and has become a monster that lives solely for deception, devouring, and killing.

"Shut up!"

Such a question goes straight into Niu Gui's soul,

A beautiful fragment of the past is like a fallen leaf floating around, quietly lifting a subtle corner from the sea of ​​memories that can no longer be traced.

However, such a scene is also fleeting like falling leaves.

He is now a monster with a sea of ​​blood on his back, a cow ghost that everyone fears, and there is no need to recall these meaningless pasts!

The only meaning of his existence is to continue killing.

The moment he scolded, the remaining three pairs of ferocious claws behind him also attacked the humans in sight.

The dust-covered memories, the buried secrets, why does the human boy in front of me know these things!!

Niu Gui's mood was confused,

So we can only rely on killing to heal this disorder!
