Prologue: The Rising Sun

This is a remastered version, which changed the original main story, and is now updated in the hedgehog cat.

At the end of the month, when I have time, I will move to the starting point.

The following text

===================================

In the beginning, everything was just a fate that never happened.

Hence the call of fate.

What kind of coincidence will the two cherry blossoms that cross the same sky collide together, linking their falling destinies?

It was a very fortuitous accident, but it was like a future that was bound to come.

Two petals cannot meet each other in the wind, and they will inevitably soar in the same place.

Whether they meet in the air or not, they will inevitably fall on the same land.

There are no accidents in this world, and everything that is bound to come is the future.

There may be suffocating despair ahead, but it is definitely the future you have chosen.

That kind of front is generally called the road of fate, what kind of way do we choose to face it in order to contain our sadness?

Whatever you choose, you will leave a scar.

Slowly caress the scar that cannot be felt by touch, and unconsciously numbly tracks it, becoming more and more indifferent or numb.

That kind of life hurts.

Man cannot forget and deny anything that he has already known.

That's the past and the truth.

Man cannot kill himself.

That's existence and demand.

One can think about things that cannot be done or done by oneself, and gradually complete them with the act of "perfecting."

This is the future and fantasy.

In that case, it's sad.

Knowing that people are like this, the world is like this. It doesn't matter which direction you are heading.

Because in that case, it will be the end of the same path.

In that case, it's annoying.

……

……

In the year of the moon, summer and fire, a sudden rainstorm swept the entire monster mountain, and the thick black and heavy dark clouds accompanied by terrifying thunder made the tallest demon mountain in this Gensokyo like a demonic realm.

On the mountain path, a white wolf tengu with a long knife escorted the carriage silently, and the raindrops falling from the sky shook into a small splash on the long knife in their hands and the light armor on their bodies, like a mist of water.

The carriage dragged a chest, the whole of which was made of a foot-thick steel plate, with no gaps in the front, and looked like a rectangular piece of iron.

It's also like a coffin.

However, because the thickness of the steel plates of this "coffin" is so amazing, it is very heavy, and it is dragged by four horses in turn all the way to maintain a relatively fast speed.

Youkai Mountain has never been afraid of its enemies, but it has never underestimated its strength either.

The four directions of the carriage were always equipped with three white wolf tengus.

If there is a slight change, these twelve white wolf tengu will rush at the enemy at the first moment, slashing them into pulp.

In addition, there are ten Raventengu behind him, also armed to the teeth. In addition to special anti-aircraft weapons such as throwing nets and flying claws, there are also special crossbows on the arms, which shoot not ordinary crossbow arrows, but with hook locks.

Even if this hook cannot directly hit an enemy with incredible speed, it will step out a crisscrossing iron needle behind the enemy in an instant, greatly restricting the opponent's movement.

The most common group battle used by Yokai Yama Tengu is to first throw a net and then shoot this kind of arrow.

"Stop!"

The leader of this team is none other than the number one person in the young generation of the white wolf tengu of Youkai Mountain. The subordinate in light armor quickly walked forward and asked what was wrong.

"Keep them on guard. 」

Inu's style was extremely straightforward, and after just one glance at the subordinate, he quickly said a word, and immediately explained in a low voice, "I don't feel anything strange, but there is something strange about the fluctuations in the box. This box comes from the Great Sage, and the power of that Lord is above all of us, perhaps the contents of the box have sensed something. 」

Hearing Inu's explanation, his face changed slightly, and without any superfluous words, he conveyed the order for all staff to be on guard.

At this moment, on the mountain road of Youkai Mountain, there was a sudden thunderous sound of horses' hooves.

A horse-drawn carriage with incredible speed appeared in their sight.

The carriage, dragged by four fiery horses, was just a flatbed cart, but it was loaded with a complete boulder.

Seeing that the four fierce horses were covered in smoke, and the muscles on their bodies were bulging one by one, it was obvious that they were driven by some kind of drug, and they were close to the limit, so that they could drag the carriage like this.

How much does such a boulder weigh?

What is such a boulder used for?

"Let me come!"

Almost the moment he saw the carriage clearly, he let out such a stern shout, and without hesitation, he drew the white long knife on his side and galloped forward to meet it.

In her opinion, no matter what such a boulder could be used for, a carriage traveling at such a speed would be extremely dangerous.

A powerful force blasted out of the dog's body, and she jumped up slightly, and then drew her knife and smashed it on the horses.

The four horses let out a painful cry at the same time, and squatted down suddenly, their front hooves raised high, as if they were about to stop like this.

However, at the moment of the carriage!

At the bottom of the cart, a hand broke through the wooden board and appeared with a domineering momentum, and smashed into the boulder with a punch!

Under the blow of this hand, the boulder on the car actually roared out, flew into the air, and smashed down towards the team with a terrifying wind.

"Poof!"

The two white wolf tengus who couldn't dodge turned directly into a pool of broken flesh under the boulder, and the sound of the flesh bursting easily crushed even drowned out the barks of the other white wolf tengu and the seated horses.

After killing the two white wolf tengu in this instant, the boulder exploded directly, and the fragments of the boulder instantly hit the other tengu in the vicinity.

With a "boom", the owner of that hand did not stop the trajectory of his arm wave after doing these amazing actions after punching, but grabbed the head of the dog walking like that, jumped up from the exploding cart, and instantly came to the carriage and the "coffin", and pressed her to the iron box like that!

……

……

Hearing only this loud noise, under the press of the master of this hand, the carriage carrying the iron box actually sank a little.

But after holding the dog with one hand, there was no smug look on the visitor's face, on the contrary, a contemplative expression appeared on her face.

At this moment, in everyone's impression, the figure that rushed out from the bottom of the board car was like a demon god, not because this person was masked with a black mask, but because her speed was too fast! The power carried by her body when she hit was too amazing, bringing out bursts of terrifying air currents and breaking sounds.

This is not the speed and strength that ordinary yokai can reach!

The tengu didn't know if it was because of their partner's death or because of the amazing strength of the comer, and they all had an inexplicable feeling of dizziness at the moment.

"Ahem... Do it!"

In the midst of the dizziness of the tengus, they suddenly heard the angry shouts of the inu-walking alder who was pressed on top of the iron box, and in the moment of the angry shouting, the inu-walking azuki grabbed the comer's arm with both hands.

"Oh?"

The masked man seemed to look surprised, but before she could say a second sentence, the arrows of the white wolf tengu behind her had already been fired, shooting towards her heart and head.

The man just smiled disdainfully, and just like that, he lifted the dog that was holding his arm and threw her in the direction of the arrow.

It's just that the dog that was thrown out like this can't dodge in the air, and it can't even open its eyes, so it only has time to turn around and do some evasive actions from instinct.

Even so, the arrow pierced into the left ribs, and it actually cut through the armor on his body deeply, and a small hole appeared in the armor, and the flesh and blood inside were blurred, and blood spurted out.

If it weren't for the armor, even if you dodged the arrows, you would have been killed directly by this huge force.

As if he had been hit by a hammer, Inu-walking fell beside the carriage, splashing countless dust.

But it's not over yet, and she can't just pass out.

"Kill!"

The cold light flickered iron nets and flew out.

The sky instantly darkened, and the moment the iron net was thrown, the Raven Tengu in the distance had already pulled the trigger of the crossbow.

In a terrifying sound of metal, there were suddenly many metallic wires in the sky.

The dense wires passed through the wire at a faster speed, and some were nailed to the wire and fell with the wire at a faster speed, pressing down on the enemy.

"Huh. 」

After that light sound, the rain exploded in an instant, like a proud male peacock dancing towards the woman.

After opening the screen, six or seven iron nets were broken in an instant, and in this way, they directly rushed out of the area covered by the throwing nets and rushed to the front of the Inugo Troop troops.

"Kill!"

The other white wolf tengu who took the lead was surprised at first, and when he saw such a scene at this moment, he knew that if he couldn't kill him today, he might not be able to survive any of his group today.

For him, as long as he can stop the enemy by half a step, the companions who have just thrown the net and shoot the crossbow next to him will have time to throw the hook lock.

However, he had just taken this step, and a fist smashed into his head like a galaxy of wind and rain, and he couldn't react quickly.

"Bang!"

It's like smashing open a watermelon.

The rest of the body also flew out with flesh foam and blood.

At the same time, all the white wolf tengu began to attack the outrageous enemy.

This form of attack is not a normal fight at all, but an iron-blooded fight.

Fighting for his life, he used his body and blade to slam into the enemy in front of him with the greatest strength, and even the white wolf tengu, who was slandered by the fragments of the boulder, used all his strength to throw his weapon at the man.

They all fought to the death with a resolute attitude and awareness.

But.

"Boom"

It's like colliding with an invisible mountain.

The dozen or so tengu were sprayed with blood from Lidao's mouth and flew backwards.

But at the same time, more blood and severed limbs were spilled out.

Inugotsu looked at the scene in front of him, gritted his teeth, quickly reached out and pressed the back mechanism of the box, and then took an object that fell out of the secret compartment of the box.

Jumping straight to the cliff on the side of the mountain road, he jumped without looking back with the sound of some kind of lead ignition.

There was no pause, just a resolute straight down, and Inugotsu held the object that fell out of the box tightly with one hand, and the knife with the other.

The knife is really to use the last strength to make the knife.

The long, sharp and icy knife sliced into the damp and hard rock.

The whole body was full of strength, and all the demonic power of the body at the end gushed out, slashing into the mountain rock.

Even that didn't completely stop her from falling.

All this happened in a moment, so it was just a moment later, and a burning heat that was difficult to describe burst out of the "coffin" in an instant.

The force of this explosion even spread to the inu-walking on the cliff, and compared to this impact, the force of her slashing towards the cliff with all her strength was even smaller.

She distinctly heard the cracking of bone at her wrist, and the force of the backlash caused her to let go of the hand that was clenching the long knife.

A mouthful of blood spat out of her mouth, and the arrow wound on her left chest flowed even faster.

Inu-walking was rolling in the air, and she vaguely saw the plants growing on the cliff face, but at the same time she saw the river getting closer and closer to her.

She straightened up, held the object in a javelin-like stance, and smashed it into the water.

The water splashed high, and the dog walked like crashing into a mountain.

Immediately afterwards, her whole body sank completely into the rushing water, sinking rapidly, and completely disappeared into the rushing river.

Looking up from under the river, the unconsciousness of the dog only saw a fiery and bright explosion.

To her, in this gloomy and nightmarish rainy day, the light was like the rising sun

Announcing the beginning of the story.

……

……

After a long time.

Or maybe not for long.

After the tengus, who had survived wordlessly, moved under a large tree, he carefully examined the iron crate that had long been melted by the heat, and found only fragments of iron near the carriage, and did not have the thing he wanted, and frowned.

A gust of mountain wind blew on her, as if to blow up the corner of the mask.

She walked to the side of the mountain path, looked at the tiny river below the cliff face, and said nothing.

At such a height, if it was just a big river, then she would not hesitate to jump for that thing.

However, from this height, the bottom is as small as a stream, and the water is full of rocks and algae. These were all mistakes on her part.

Even though it was a gloomy and rainy day, the man seemed to have excellent eyesight that ordinary youkai couldn't match, and she just followed the river and looked out.

The place where the river flows is in the direction of the Magic Forest.
