Chapter 240 (9) The ♂ Bamboo Forest of the Full Moon
readx;? And so it went on until the sixth day......
The suitors who were pursuing Hohime never came to the Oda house again, and Nobuoka went to look for work elsewhere, and nothing went well, and Ragnar seemed to find a little too bored. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"But it's also for the mission......" Ragnar struggled to chew on the gummies in his mouth, enduring the torment of boredom.
"Mr. Ragnar, Lord Shintada has asked you to come over. The butler suddenly shouted beside him.
"Wow! How did you get out! Why didn't I find out!" Ragnar was startled.
"I've called you several times since I started (-i_-)...... Can you go now?"
"Okay! I'm sorry!"
Ragnar was just starting when he felt a slight jolt under his feet, which Ragnar suspected was coming from underground.
(What's going on?......)"
Not wanting anything else, Ragnar shook his head and walked briskly through the door to the meeting room.
The teenager is advancing.
There were quite a few guests in the living room this time, most of them strangely dressed people, and Ragnar speculated that these people were onmyoji.
"Ragnar, come in. The faithful inside, urged.
"Mr. Xinzhong, who are these people?"
"They are all Onmyoji who came here from a distant country, and the reason why they came here is that they have recently heard the villagers complaining that they hear strange wolf howls every night, so the old man wants to send them to retreat from the monster that makes a wolf howl. ”
"Howling wolf?"
"Yes, I guess you didn't hear it, the old man called you to entrust you to serve as a guard to protect them from monsters, is that okay?"
"I don't guarantee that they will all survive, the youkai that let out the wolf howl is probably not an ordinary youkai, plus today is the night of the full moon, I heard that as soon as the moon is full, the power of those youkai will suddenly increase, you should know. ”
"This kid shouldn't be scared~"
"It's just, saying a lot of unfounded words, not making excuses for yourself~Hahahahaha~"
Those so-called onmyoji laughed at Ragnar.
“…… I'm not sure how powerful they are, but in case, I mean, if any of them die, I'm not going to take responsibility, I'm just protecting them from harm, not protecting them from dying. ”
Ragnar felt that this matter was not so simple, and it was difficult to determine whether the other party was a monster or not, but there was only one thing that could be believed, the strength of the other party was very strong.
"Hmm...... I've been thinking about this for a long time. ”
Xinzhong thought for a while, and then gave an answer.
"Well, if someone accidentally kills a youkai on the way out, I'll take all the blame, so that's it. ”
"That's it. Ragnar nodded reassuringly.
"Then everyone, I will leave the work of retreat to you. ”
"Rest assured, you will never fail to live up to your expectations. "One of the tall men, he might be the captain of the lead.
"......" Ragnar left without saying a word.
―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――
Later that evening, a procession entered the Forest of Magic.
Ragnar got information from those onmyoji, they are all disciples of the **** family, and the man in front of him is **** Zhiya.
"**** family...... I remember that the **** family in the Heian period was very famous among human forces, but now it is still a top-level onmyoji family. ”
But soon, a question emerged in Ragnar's mind, when the general Onmyoji family accepts the commission, unless it is the rank of the emperor or above, they will not be dispatched, why don't they say a word about the dispatch of personnel from a small family like the Oda family?
There is no doubt that they are for Oda Hohime.
Maybe it's for wealth, maybe it's to be able to see Hohime's beauty, or maybe it's both, but among the upright people in this team, there are only two people.
Ragnar and **** Tomoya, both of whom are not greedy for wealth and beauty.
"I don't know what that youkai will look like...... Hopefully not girls. "Ragnar has always been worried that if the other party is a girl, it will not allow him to give it his all.
But youkai are not human, so they can change into any gender, and it's not a big deal compared to the wine-swallowing boy who seduces virgins with beauty and eats them, and this night wolf howls is not a big deal.
After walking for a long time, Ragnar and the others came to a bamboo forest, which was more gloomy than the woods just now, and there was the whining of crows from time to time.
"Team, captain...... I'm a little scared......" one of his teammates began to shiver.
"Stupid! If you are succumbed to the environment like this, what kind of onmyoji will you be! I will go back and punish you for five hours of chanting!" "Tomoya roared angrily.
"Yes......!"
In this gloomy environment, there was a pair of scarlet red dots that were about to move in the darkness, but the red dots saw a particularly conspicuous blonde man in the group, and they disappeared into the darkness for a while.
But this murderous aura was detected by Ragnar.
"Hmm...... Very strong murderous aura. ”
"What did you say?"
"Be careful, there will definitely be monsters ambushing around here, so prepare your weapons to prevent a sneak attack. ”
After Ragnar said this, the Onmyoji really picked up the charm to protect themselves, and it was almost night, and if they didn't defeat the youkai before the moon rose, they would die.
Except, of course, Ragnar.
"Captain...... My stomach hurts a little......" a man clutched his wailing belly.
"Now is not the time to go to the bathroom!
"That's not right...... Something seems to be leaking out......"
Everyone looked at the man, and the man's body began to slowly crack, and the internal organs in his body could be seen clearly.
"Ahhh......h Ahh!!h
Poof――
The man's body suddenly split apart, the eyeballs that fell on the grass were cut in half, the ten fingers were cut into pieces, and the rest were broken pieces, and those onmyoji were even more shocked to watch.
"Being able to cut a human body like this in an instant doesn't seem to be underestimated. ”
Ragnar had a throwing knife between his ten fingers, and at the same time he heard the sound of the leaves shaking, and immediately activated the time stop.
However, Ragnar did not notice any suspicious figures in the area, and the moment it stopped, another person was cut into pieces.
"Damn, I can't see where it is, it's too fast!"
"The deer of Wu Tian, the floating lion, listen to my orders, thunderfall!"
The spell in Tomoya's hand turned into a magic circle, and a powerful lightning strike erupted from it.
Bang -
The lightning strike failed to hit the target.
"Do you think this kind of spell can be effective against such a fast youkai?
"How can it be dispersed! If it does, the demons may kill us one by one!"
"It's better than annihilating in one go! Look! Now a few people are dead!"
Tomoya looked at the fallen corpses, their faces covered in blood, their internal organs left on the ground, some of them were crumbled, some of them were half-dead disabled people, and some of them had their eyes gouged out.
Tomoya gritted his teeth and ordered the onmyoji who were still alive:
"Disperse!"
―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――
Forming a team of two people and escaping in different directions is Tomoya's strategy, as long as he can distract the yokai, he has a chance to annihilate it in one fell swoop.
The youkai also seemed to understand something and began to pursue them.
Ahh
The crow's cry was combined with the screams of humans, and in the bamboo forest, blood-red points of light continued to kill, and the flesh and blood seemed to have become the nourishment of the bamboos, and the entire bamboo forest was extremely miserable.
The only remaining figures were two who were still running, but they didn't know that their companion had already been killed by the youkai.
The point of light caught up with them.
"Whew! The smell of blood...... I guess they've been ......"
"Killing everyone else so quickly, what kind of demon is this?"
The target of the point of light seems to be the **** Zhiya who is an onmyoji, and I saw it rush forward, and I could vaguely see the pair of sharp claws on its hands.
Tomoya hurriedly took out a few charms and began to chant:
"I hereby invite! Descend to the gods and all the true people! Bind the ghosts and subdue the evil spirits! Eliminate the hundred ghosts! Be as urgent as the law!"
Many ropes sprang out of the dark black circle, quickly binding the youkai, and Tomoya breathed a sigh of relief.
"Next, it's time to submit you!"
Tomoya bit his finger and smeared the blood on the spell, chanting:
"Return to fate! Hold the lotus flower! Not empty! Honor the victory and subdue! Appear! Manifest! Achieve auspiciousness! The Jade Emperor has an edict! Lingbao talismans! Slay demons and bind evil spirits! Ten thousand demons are subdued! Hurry like a law!"
The blood-coated spell emitted a strong light and turned into a huge formation, from which many thin swords with white light shot out, all flying towards the youkai.
"Whew~~"
The youkai howled in the sky, this was not a scream before death, but as a force to break free!
The rapier failed to hit the youkai, which was the only move that Tomoya could use, and he took a few steps back without a solution, and then ......
Smack-
was knocked unconscious by a monster.
"Huh?!"
Ragnar wondered why this youkai didn't kill Tomoya, but simply knocked him unconscious.
The moonlight was shining through the leaves, and Ragnar could now see the monster's true form: a red and blue dress, a bow tied around his chest, black hair, and two wolf ears on his head.
It's a girl.
"Hello, Lord Death, my name is Imaizumi Shadow Wolf, I don't know what (^v^) you're here for?" "Imaizumi Shadow Wolf pinched the hems of his skirt with both hands and saluted Ragnar.
