Chapter 7: Legendary Skin: Assassin's Creed Nidhogg

(Warmly celebrate 300 Yakumo Purple Q after slashing it to the point that it can't be comboed, strengthen R, eRRRRR, five hearses, drift, who can be beaten?) I can only say one thing here: TYSB! )

On the silent field road, a long convoy is moving.

Tall horses pulled a section of carriages, and the path was filled with the sound of wood-clad iron.

Japan lacks sturdy horses, and there are not many organizations that can put together such a convoy.

-- This is the convoy of the famous demon slayer Xixing Temple.

……

Since the death of Yoshikiyo Sato a few years ago, the half-human, half-soul demon and the unknown body (to everyone) Nidhogg, who has no protection, are not suitable to stay in Saigyoji Temple as a non-human...... During that time, the relationship between Youji and Nidhogg and the monks of Xixing Temple can be described as close to water and fire.

It wasn't until Nidhogg signed a treaty with the presiding officer of the Westward Temple. The content is that Nidhogg, as the strongest combat force in the Xixing Temple, is obliged to regularly participate in demon eradication operations in exchange for his reasonable status with the soul demon in the inner court.

Therefore, Nidhogg replaced Yuyuko of the Saigyu Temple and became the secret weapon of the Saiyuji family, the real "monster killer".

Those people called him an adult on the surface, but secretly called him a "monster", and they thought they were far enough away to speak quietly enough, but they didn't know that the words had entered his ears without missing anything. Whether it's the ancestor of the dragons, the lord of the blood, or the dark knight. All three are perceived much more than humans......

Therefore, in the face of this group of human beings who are obviously Buddhist monks but do not have the compassion of monks, Nidhogg owes the slightest favor.

By the way, as a well-known demon eradication organization, Xixing Temple is not all monks, but also accepts a certain number of samurai, onmyoji and other refuges, and the onmyoji who comes to deliver messages to Nidhogg is this list.

"How far is it?" Nidhogg, who was tired of riding a horse and was sitting in the carriage with a PSP, asked the kind old bald donkey impatiently... Abbot.

Aren't you having fun playing with that iron guy? The middle-aged abbot squinted at the silver-haired masked man and said in his heart. However, on the surface, he still calmly put his hands together and said Amitabha.

"Why be in a hurry, Lord Ned? What should be there will always come. ”

As soon as these words came out, Nidhogg's face under the mask darkened.

Lao Tzu is not surnamed Ned!

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and there was a commotion outside. Without waiting for the abbot to summon him, a magic monk had already lifted the curtain: "Lord Abbot, there is a group of thieves blocking the way."

Bandit?

"Bands of Thieves? When did the thieves dare to rob the demon slayer? Without waiting for the abbot to speak, Nidhogg had already put away the PSP and said with a strange taunt.

"I'm afraid I think monks don't kill." Not paying attention to Nidhogg's tone, the abbot, who had killed nearly a hundred monsters, sighed.

"Listen to the people inside! As long as my Qingchuan thieves group wants property, they won't hurt their lives! Obediently hand over the things, everyone enters the water and does not violate the river water! ”

A loud and energetic voice entered the carriage from the outside, causing a commotion in the other carriages. In addition to the demon trip, there is no property on the body except for the magic weapon, so is it impossible to hand over the magic weapon? But the other party is not a monster, and these pedantic monks are not good at using spells to fight against ......

However, the onmyoji and samurai among the demon slayer are eager to try.

"Such a heavy evil spirit, and said that it would not hurt people's lives, forgive me for being debauched and uninhibited all my life." An eerie laugh sounded like a human voice, and the abbot looked at the man behind him whose shoulders were shaking, and nodded.

……

The head of the thieves, with a narrow scar on his face and a terrifying look, rode on a stolen horse and squinted at the convoy of ten carriages in front of him.

He has already shouted the words again, first lure the other party out to offer the goods, and then take the opportunity to lead his subordinates to kill, if the other party does not come out, directly let his subordinates release arrows! This trick has been tried and tested.

As the largest group of thieves in the area, he had ten archers under his command, who had once been retired from the same daimyo's army.

This convoy actually has more than a dozen carriages, which rich family is so wealthy? Will there be female dependents? It's better to just arrest people......

Just as he pondered what he would do with the captives, the curtain of the carriage at the back opened.

Descending from it was a tall man dressed in rich clothes, with a strange mask on his face that made it impossible to see his appearance and age, and his long silver hair was unusually bewitching, and he walked out empty-handed, and the leader of the thieves did not know what he was here for.

"Oh~ actually allowed me to make a move, the abbot is really not a good person~" Some illusory hoarse voices were obviously very soft, but all the robbers present could easily hear them...... Seems... It's right in the ear.

Abnormal phenomena, weird masks... Scratching your head ......

The members of the thieves group were in a little commotion, and the leader of the group had a vague bad premonition in his heart......

"Oh? Ten ADCs? The ghost of the masked man faced ten men with bows and arrows, and his pale smile seemed to evoke the deepest fears in the human heart.

"......" One of the archers looked at the smiling face, as if he had seen the person he had killed smiling at him, and couldn't help but draw his bow and arrow at him.

"What...!"

Swish!

One moment the black figure they saw was still on the side of the wheel, and the next moment the other party's blade was already whistling in front of them.

Burst...... The blade rubbed against the air, but it did not change in the heat, and the chests of the ten people splattered blood at the same time, and they fell staggeringly, and their eyes were all shocked.

"Herod!" The horse was frightened and then remembered that the black figure killed ten people in an instant with incredible violent force and ghostly speed!

"Shhh~ Please be quiet." He raised his index finger and whispered in front of the mask, and the horses really calmed down. "Good boy..."

"Bastard!" The head of the regiment was dumbfounded, and the remote personnel of the thieves group were all finished! Such anger made him swing his knife and slash down immediately!

But the black shadow was really like a ghost, and it turned its head slightly to avoid the blade, and its body also made a light sideways, bringing out wisps of inky green smoke...... It's like a ghost......

Before the regimental leader could react, the slender blade reflecting the dim white light was already close to his throat......

There was no way to detect how the knife was approaching, as if it had been waiting there all along, with a natural concealment and murderous intent.

"Good dreams..."

Burst...... Softly like a lover's whisper, the last thing the head of the regiment heard was the lonely wind, and his eyes darkened.

"Kill him! He's only one man! Another ronin samurai on horseback woke up like a dream, shouted the standard FLAG, drew his sword and stepped on the horse!

The sound of the wind slicing through the air echoed again, and the black figure was already at the same height as him......

His instinctive horizontal knife wants to find an opportunity to fight back while unloading the force... He blocked the opponent's knife, but he didn't hear the expected clash of gold and iron.

With a "click", the tough blade split in two, and the long knife cut through metal so easily, like a hot knife cutting through cream. Then the only rider fell from his horse, and the bruise in his throat made him unable to speak, and he soon fell silent.

Nidhogg didn't stop, because the group of scumbags still dared to charge.

"Courage is commendable...... But stupid. The hoarse voice was so eerie, as if it was in the ear, announcing the decree of death.

Each of the members of the bandits had at least five lives on their hands and was feared by pedestrians and passers-by.

But now, it's they who are afraid... The silver light flickered, and others couldn't see the black shadow's knife action clearly...... All they felt was the shadow of the long knife on all sides, above your head, in your throat, and in your heart, and with the other party's cold murmur...

The robbers could only roar and swing their knives, and fell to the ground one after another, allowing the blood to spread on the ground.

By the time the last man fell on his back, he had already swung his blade back to the carriage......

Behind the curtain of more than a dozen carriages, the monks, samurai and onmyoji of the Xixing Temple witnessed the slaughter-like battle, and a young monk shivered fiercely, "What a monster." ”

"Shhhh The older monk patted him on the shoulder, "Speed up your journey." ”

……

"Amitabha." Seeing Nidhogg's return, the abbot folded his hands and said, "Why did the donor kill that man?" He no longer has the will to fight, so why bother to kill more..."

He was referring to a guy in the previous battle who tried to escape and was stabbed through the chest by Nidhogg...

"Just cut the grass and eradicate it...... As for the killing," a sarcastic chuckle came from under the ghost's face, "have you killed fewer youkai?" ”

Looking at the dark eyes on the mask, the abbot didn't say anything, just turned the Buddhist beads in his hand and recited the scriptures in a low voice.
