Chapter 48: Reckoning
In the depths of the forest, it is always dark, the light is quite faint, and the flow of day and night is not obvious.
I don't know how many days have passed since I was injured, but my body has not completely improved, but I was unable to stand up on my own before, but now I have at least regained my basic mobility......
Deep in the dimly lit forest, Sesshomaru leaned against a large tree with his back to him, motionless and unaware of what he was thinking.
In addition, his performance as if he was paralyzed at any time, really looked like a sculpture.
Caught off guard, he was unsuspectingly hit by the "Wind Injury" swung out by the iron broken teeth, and Rao was unable to withstand it even with his physique.
It was his father's tooth, so it was naturally equivalent to his father's demon power revival and a brazen kill...... In the original plot, Naraku desperately upgraded himself to strengthen the turtle shell, isn't it because of this reason?
Only in the later stage, Naraku and some of his clones devoured the demonic power of the Treasure Immortal Ghost, and also devoured the Hades Beast, and obtained the body structure of the demonized diamond, as well as the hardest carapace......
The "wind wound" of the iron broken teeth can be regarded as the real elimination.
Before that, skills that seemed to have no meaning for a long time, and you made Naraku not open the enchantment knot to take a shot?
Sesshomaru's current state wasn't too bad, although he couldn't react at that moment because Inuyasha had exploded too unreasonably. However, at the critical moment, Tianfang still opened the enchantment and took the initiative to protect him.
And Sesshomaru could also feel it, and at the last moment, Inuyasha braked the power of the iron shattering fangs, and did not let the sword pressure completely burst out. Otherwise, although he would not have died, his condition would definitely be worse.
However, there was no idea of any luck, and the noble prince only felt humiliated.
Although he was always merciful, not to mention that every time he hit it so hard, he beat Inuyasha to the brink of misery, but he never really hurt the latter's life......
However, when it was Inuyasha's turn to do this to him, Sesshomaru felt humiliated and angry instead.
But he can't do anything now, he can only recuperate quietly first, no matter what, he has to recover first, so that he can return this humiliation again.
Although it hasn't completely improved, Sesshomaru has been able to act on his own at this time, but through the smell, he knows that the evil opinion is about to come over, so he continues to stay here.
- When the evil opinion comes to you, leave the place immediately.
This noble prince thought so, and then he looked slightly sideways in a certain direction, and found that at this time of day, that human imp had not come here like before.
It was a little human girl, I don't know if she was born dumb or didn't know how to speak.
From the first day of Sesshomaru's embarrassed arrival, she was discovered by her who was alone in the forest for some reason.
The little human girl looked timid, cowering, and scared to the point of crying at any moment.
However, her behavior is very brave, she has been taking care of this fallen noble son these days, such as using a bamboo tube to fetch water to help him wash away the blood stains on his body, and wrapping grilled fish in lotus leaves to bring him food.
For the former, Sesshomaru could only let her do it because she couldn't move at all during that time, but in his heart he was filled with anger, and he only felt that it was even more insulting than the humiliation that Inuyasha inflicted on him.
Therefore, after that, he did not accept the other party's food, but only treated the little human girl with kindness indifferently.
Sesshomaru even used real killing intent, preparing to tear her apart with his claws as soon as he regained his mobility.
But it's amazing that today he has regained his basic mobility, but he can no longer afford the murderous intent he had before, and he can't harden his heart.
And at that time yesterday, he also took the initiative to talk to the little human girl......
This is simply incredible, what is the reason why your mind can change so easily?
Sesshomaru was also puzzled by this.
He thought about it carefully, and found that he was inexplicably touched in his heart yesterday when he saw the little human girl covered in bruises and bruised and swollen from being beaten.
In addition, the food she sent yesterday was no longer grilled fish, but a few voles, and Sesshomaru could roughly understand what was going on, probably because he had been stealing food for him these days, so he was caught and beaten up yesterday.
Anyway, Sesshomaru didn't accept that food once, and he didn't feel that the little human girl had any one-sided kindness to him.
However, when he thought about it, he still felt ...... Extremely displeased.
Therefore, at this time, the fact that the little girl did not come over again today also made this noble son inexplicably concerned.
……
……
The breath of the four soul fragments was constantly moving, and it seemed to be fleeing, not in a straight line at all, but irregular.
This made Inuyasha and the others also track for several days, and they also discovered during this period that the huge number of wolves seemed to be chasing the fragments of the four souls.
There seems to be a plausible explanation for the matter, and it is nearing the end.
Whoever owns the Four Souls Fragment, it can be seen that he is still at a disadvantage, and he can only desperately escape under the hunt of the wolves, and perhaps use the power of the fragment to never catch up.
But that's the limit.
The breath of the shard that Sunset Kagome sensed hadn't moved since this morning, and as they quickened their pace to approach the location.
But they found out that it was another village, but the wolves had taken over the entire village, not only killing all the villagers, but—
Even they themselves were dead, and their corpses fell to the ground in all directions, bloody and shocking.
Inuyasha and the others originally just thought that if they arrived half an hour later, they were afraid that if these wolves had already eaten up the village, they never thought that it would be such a scene.
"How could it be...... Could it be that the man with the fragments of the four souls fought back on the verge of death and died with these wolves? ”
Sunset Kagome couldn't help but exclaim.
"No way, if that person had such strength, he wouldn't have to wait until he was cornered and couldn't run...... By this time, how much strength will he be able to leave? ”
Coral shook her head, she had used the power of the Four Soul Fragments before, and she understood how powerful a single fragment could give a human being, but that also had a limit.
That's right, the one with the four soul fragments must be a human, this is their judgment.
After all, if it were a youkai, it would only be easier to use that kind of power, and a few days would be enough time for a low-level youkai to absorb the power of a fragment and complete a transformation.
It may not be particularly powerful immediately, but it is certainly very tricky, at least not an existence that a large pack of wolves can threaten by numbers.
"But these seem to be the wolf clan...... No wonder I could only smell wolves all the time. Inuyasha wiped his nose, looked at those more special corpses, and said in a deep voice.
After his reminder, everyone also found the corpses that were neither wolves nor humans, different from the villagers.
"Demon wolf clan?"
"Well, I've heard it before, it's said to be a bunch of yokai that can manipulate wolf packs, or rather, they're wolves themselves...... Among them, the real demon wolf clan can transform from a pure wolf body into a human, but its nature will not change, and it is still as ferocious as a wolf......"
Coral thought for a moment and recalled.
"Now the question should be why these demon wolf clans are also dead, right?" Master Maitreya frowned and said thoughtfully.
This situation of ending up together is also a little too strange, it looks more like the demon wolf clan blocked that person, and after slaughtering the village, they themselves were slaughtered by another sudden force.
Immediately afterwards, a group of them arrived just in time to see such a scene...... Wait, just in time?
It seems that something like this has happened before, the whole village was slaughtered, and then they arrived just in time, and then they were regarded as the real murderers by the last hope of the whole village......
The little fox demon Qibao who was lying on the shoulder of Master Maitreya spoke at this time-
"Well, you see...... It seems that there are still people who are not dead, and I see a corpse moving...... Wait, it looks like two ...... Three! Wow, it's all moving! ”
Qibao's surprise was a good illustration of the problem that was happening now, and in the strange eyes of everyone, the corpses scattered all over the ground in the village actually slowly struggled to stand up.
This is true not only of the villagers, but also of the wolves and the demon wolf clan.
"Wait, wait, aren't they dead?!" Sunset Kagome's eyes widened instantly, and she felt a chill down her spine and her hairs stand on end.
"No, they're all dead, no heartbeat or breathing......," Inuyasha said with a serious expression, "and they're not zombies, they're monsters, they're just ordinary corpses." ”
"Ordinary corpses can get back on their feet?!" The girl in the sailor suit felt that her common sense had been greatly impacted.
"No, they've been manipulated, be careful, these corpses aren't worth mentioning, but there are too many."
Inuyasha pulled out his iron fangs and looked around vigilantly, trying to find the manipulator behind the scenes.
But he failed, and the air smelled only of men and wolves—
The heavy smell of blood interfered with his sense of smell greatly, and he was unable to sort out any other strange odor molecules from it.
And just as he was trying to discern more carefully, the wind howled, and the corpses that staggered to their feet, or showed their claws, or picked up their weapons—
Rushed towards them!
"Boom!" Inuyasha raised the demon knife and rushed into the group of corpses, and directly came to a matchless dance.
As he said, these are just ordinary corpses, which look scary to move, but in fact, they are only more annoying.
As a true melee class in the team, Inuyasha rushed into the crowd of corpses without hesitation, setting off a bloody storm.
Master Maitreya opened the enchantment, and Coral used the flying bone to support him remotely to relieve his pressure - as for Sunset Kagome and Shippo, they have no stable combat ability for the time being, and belong to the two who are protected.
Iron shattered teeth sharpen iron like clay, although in this case Inuyasha can't use the "wind injury", but as long as a knife is a knife, three or four people or three or four wolves are cut in half, so the efficiency is also quite fast.
He also doesn't have any psychological burden, anyway, these people are long dead, just manipulated corpses.
He was just a little worried about another problem, so he noticed the changes in the corpses that were being cut down while going one after another.
It turned out that those corpses did not bother to continue to get up, as long as they were cut over, it seemed that they could not get up again, I don't know if the manipulator did not want to continue manipulating, or if they could no longer be manipulated after being destroyed.
All in all, it's a good thing.
Inuyasha sped up, and the iron fangs turned into a whirlwind, and soon with the help of his companions, he chopped down all the corpses.
"Strange, I thought there must be something different hidden in it, but I didn't expect it to be so weak...... What's the point? Does the manipulator think this is a threat to me? ”
In the next moment when Inuyasha was puzzled-
"Mad dog! Come on!! ”
