In Jason's field of vision, out of the reach of ordinary people, a strangely shaped missile was flying rapidly.

Just two seconds later, those onmyoji also noticed that something was wrong.

When they saw the missile, their faces immediately changed.

"Defense!"

The leading Onmyoji roared, a quick seal in his hand.

The surrounding onmyoji did not keep it anymore.

Layers of defense are increasing again.

However, the warhead just split over the heads of the onmyoji.

Woooooooooooooooo

Hundreds of smaller round bombs fell on the head.

Suddenly, all the onmyoji turned pale.

Cluster munitions!

Although they maintain tradition, it does not mean that the Onmyoji are cut off from the outside world, and they are even more concerned about the development of 'gunpowder' than ordinary people.

Because, that is the existence that overthrows their former rule.

Therefore, they are deeply aware of the power of cluster munitions.

Greater range and greater penetration.

If you can, don't fight head-on.

Can ...... now

All they had left was hard resistance.

"Defend yourself!"

The leading onmyoji gritted his teeth and said.

Maybe at this time, it's a drop in the bucket.

But even a little extra defense is good.

The surrounding onmyoji also knew this truth, and once again began to strengthen the defense.

The defensive force field composed of Yin-Yang Technique, dozens of layers on top of each other.

The defensive force field, which was supposed to be invisible and transparent, has become translucent after the number of layers superimposed has increased, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a state of ripples layer after layer.

And then—

Boom Boom!

Dense explosions appeared.

Blazing.

Shrapnel flies.

The surrounding buildings were reduced to ruins in an instant, and the Onmyoji were drowned in shrapnel.

Even the big 'ghost' suffered a near-devastating blow.

The red, blackened muscles became full of holes under the dense shrapnel.

The hideous countenance was distorted by pain.

The mace in his hand has long been broken in two because it is used as an alternative shield.

However, the strong vitality of the 'ghost' keeps it alive.

Even, gradually recovering.

The shrapnel was squeezed out of the body, and the wound healed little by little.

This satisfied Jason.

At least he doesn't have to spit out 'thorns' when he eats for a while.

As for letting go of food because it hurts?

I'm sorry.

Jason doesn't waste food.

Dressed in clothes that had already been tattered due to explosions and monolithic attacks, Jason rushed towards the big 'ghost'.

After fusing the [Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Method], the defense level of Jason's body had already reached the level of a fighter.

This is a defense above the five levels of knives, bullets, explosives, tanks, and warplanes.

Even if he was at the heart of the explosion, Jason was seriously injured at best, and he would not really die.

Not to mention that Jason was originally in a marginal position, and the 'bullet' of the cluster bomb was just an ordinary bomb, and it was not added with any chemical agents or turned into armor-piercing bullets or the like, as long as Jason protected the vital point, basically the skin was not broken.

As soon as Jason appeared, he was noticed by the big 'ghost'.

The big 'ghost' roared and punched out.

It's not that I don't want it any other way.

But? The big 'ghost' now? There is no ability to use any other abilities.

All that remains is pure hand-to-hand combat.

Bang!

Jason didn't dodge or dodge, and fought hard with the big 'ghost'.

The sheer size of the body brings the strength to match.

But? Jason didn't back down at all.

Jason's strength is 9 times that of ordinary people? When the sprint is charged, such a force has already reached an extremely exaggerated level? Far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

So all those who are watching here? I saw a scene that I will never forget.

A big 'ghost' known for its strength? Repelled by a human.

In particular, the size difference between the two sides makes this scene even more impactful.

The 10-meter-tall body retreated again and again.

The 2-meter-tall body stands still.

Step, step!

The retreat of the big 'ghost' made the whole ground tremble.

Jason chased after him and jumped straight up.

Roar!

Looking at Jason close at hand? The big 'ghost' roared angrily? The huge palm fanned down, but it quickly turned into a scream.

Jason's broad-bladed short-handled machete stabbed into the palm of the big ghost, and then, with a twist of the handle, the entire palm was completely sliced open.

Suddenly? The big 'ghost' screamed even worse.

But that's just the beginning.

The knife fell, and Jason's footsteps flashed? He turned behind the big 'ghost', and the one in his hand was aimed at the big ghost's knee.

Poof, poof!

In the crisp sound of cutting? The inside of the knee, the big ghost, was cut with precision.

Ligaments, similar to the meniscus, are present and at the same time divide in two.

The big 'ghost' figure flickered——

Thump!

Fall to your knees.

And then? The sword light appeared in the throat of the big 'ghost'.

Burst!

Blood rushed to the sky.

The big 'ghost' clutching his throat? Straight down.

It has already been hit hard by cluster munitions? It is simply not possible to support another recovery.

Death came as promised.

After Jason confirmed that the 'food' was in hand, he looked at the rest of the food.

The aftermath of the explosion gradually dissipated.

The dozens of defensive force fields constructed by the eleven Onmyoji had long since disappeared, leaving only the Onmyoji lying on the ground.

Their white hunting clothes and black straddles had already become dirty and full of blood.

Breath also.

However, the consciousness is not clear enough.

The shrapnel on his body is like a countdown to death.

Even the leading onmyoji with his eyes open was no exception.

He looked around at the mess and muttered under his breath.

"Times have changed, times have changed."

While muttering, he vomited blood.

There was almost no sparkle in the eyes of the leading Onmyoji.

Although the appearance of 'gunpowder' ended their rule, their power is still there, and this 'power' still gives them a bit of confidence, or pride.

Most Onmyoji have similar confidence and pride.

This leading onmyoji is no exception.

However, this moment.

He seemed to have just discovered that this so-called faith and pride was just a fig leaf.

The last fig leaf of a declining era.

And now?

The last fig leaf was also torn off.

Teared to pieces.

His faith and soul were also torn apart.

Therefore, even when he saw Jason coming, the Onmyoji, who still had a trace of counterattack power, did not move, just looked at Jason who was approaching, and then ...... Laughed.

"What are we fighting for?"

"It was originally the remnants of the times."

"Now?"

"I was taken advantage of."

"I'm really unwilling."

The smile was ugly, like crying.

Oh, yes!

Unwilling!

He already thinks he understands the 'world' and thinks he values 'gunpowder'.

But in fact?

The pride in his heart has already made him wear colored glasses.

His prejudice, his arrogance, had already doomed today's outcome.

He's so unwilling!

If he had been more modest, wouldn't things have been different?

Can it be reversed?

If the cooperation with 'Hua Sakura' is more cautious, will it really be successful?

The thoughts that turned up in his mind made him vomit blood faster.

Looking at Jason who walked in front of him, the onmyoji said.

"Please give us a decent one."

"We don't want to die under gunpowder."

"Please use your sword and let us go to the Santu River."

As he spoke, Onmyoji sat up as hard as he could, straightening his back as best he could, and lifted the remaining half of his hat, an action that touched his wound - a shrapnel stuck in his heart.

The intense pain caused the onmyoji to move, but it was done.

Then, he looked at Jason with pleading eyes.

He could feel his death imminent.

However, being killed by 'gunpowder' was not what he wanted.

He wanted to preserve that last bit of dignity.

Not a fig leaf.

It's just a simple obsession.

Sou!

Jason raised his hand and stabbed it.

The blade swept past the onmyoji's neck with a sharp cracking sound.

As the blood spurted, the last bit of relief appeared in the onmyoji's eyes—even if it was his own obsession, it seemed to Jason to be very fake.

But he still convinced himself.

He was liberated.

The Onmyoji's mouth twitched slightly.

The voice didn't come out.

But Jason can roughly guess by looking at the lip shape.

Thank you.

Jason frowned and said coldly.

"No, I got paid."

As soon as the words fell, he took the remaining props on the other party's body in his hand.

The corners of the leader's onmyoji curled up, more relief appeared in his eyes, and then he just lay straight on the ground.

There is no breath.

The same goes for the remaining ten Onmyoji.

They chose the same way as the leader, and greeted their own death.

Jason 'collected' the payment one by one.

"What an awkward bunch of enemies."

This is Jason's evaluation of this group of onmyoji who are obviously regarded as real 'bait'.

Then, the fire flashed.

Everything is gone under the [Charles's Burning Technique].

The night breeze blows.

Mars flew up with a thick cloud of smoke.

After a while, there was nothing.

Only Jason was left with a lot of food.

"There are 21 more, more than 10 fewer than previously calculated, which should be a defensive prop that automatically reacts under the explosion of a cluster bomb, but it's a pity."

Jason sighed softly.

Don't get me wrong.

He simply sighed, and there was less food for his hunt.

As for these onmyoji who are used as 'bait'?

As Jason said.

He was paid.

Still, Jason had doubts.

First, why did the flower blossom courtyard do this?

Although he has not been in this dungeon world for a long time, Jason knows very well that it is not easy to cultivate an onmyoji, and talent, bloodline, resources, etc. are all limitations.

Even if the Hua Kaiyuan family, which is known as one of the four major families of the Onmyoji, dies eleven Onmyoji at once, it is definitely not a trivial matter.

Even, it can be called a big injury to vitality.

"Infighting?"

Jason guessed.

He couldn't think of anything else other than that.

Moreover, in this infighting, there must be 'Hua Sakura' involved.

"Is it deeper than you think?"

"If that's the case......"

"It's fun."

Jason's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of something.

If it was as he had guessed, everything in front of him would make sense.

Of course, it is not difficult to confirm this.

It is even said that it will be confirmed immediately.

And this is also related to the second point that Jason doubted: the timing of the launch of the 'Hanakura' cluster bomb.

It's a bit too early!

According to common sense, it should be launched when he and these onmyoji are 'inseparable', not this kind of early launch.

While the effect is good, it is not maximized.

"Are there any more accidents?"

"The hidden guys are doing it again?"

Jason thought, striding towards the big 'ghost'.

No matter what happens in a moment, he will be involved.

Until then, though, he needs to eat something.

Of course, the necessary 'disinfection' is still needed.

Straight to open the impacted, somewhat crumbling-looking, but actually sturdy 'White Bear Cafe', Jason pulled a case of spirits out of Hui Lijing's cellar.

Disinfect.

Roast.

When the big 'ghost' was fully cooked, Jason took a bite of it.

If the little 'ghost' is like a spicy duck neck.

That big 'ghost' is like a whole duck.

Duck that has been roasted.

It's still the kind with its own spicy taste.

The skin is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and when you take a bite, the juice splashes everywhere, and there is a faint spicy taste.

It's a bit like Orleans.

【Devourer (Large. Pseudo)]

[Excess recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!] 】

【Satiety +200】

[Satiety: 711]

【Excitement of Food+1】

[Excitement of Food: 16]

……

"Pseudo?"

"Not badly injured?"

Jason looked at the words in front of him, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then, the previous guess was a little more.

Really, pathetic bait!

Jason thought silently in his heart, and his eyes were on the excitement of eating.

Every bit of food excitement makes him happy.

"It's 16 o'clock."

"It's coming, it's coming!"

With that in mind, Jason picked up the rest of the food.

Although it is unlikely that there will be a high sense of excitement in these foods depending on the aroma, and even the satiety of each item is not too high, there are many of them, a total of 21 pieces.

For Jason, it's also a rare little dessert.

Jason began rinsing and disinfecting again.

And just as Jason was flushing and disinfecting, a man was furious in a high-rise building ten kilometers away from this block.

"What's going on?"

"Why were cluster bombs fired without my orders?"

"Damn it!"

"Are you all pigs?"

The man angrily slapped the railing while shouting over the radio.

However, the radio side replied that it was even more stunned.

"Sir, it's your order!"

"We launched on your orders!"

The subordinate's answer made the man stunned.

And then......

The man turned and ran.

Unfortunately, it's a bit late.

A tall figure stood in front of him.
