Chapter 44: Wai

The flames burst through the floor, blooming in the sky.

Surrounded by flames, Senjuro stood at the top of the floor.

The flames of nightmares for his enemies turned into docile sheep when they approached him, and they were left to his disposal.

In front of him, on the edge of the six-story roof, stood a boy in a white robe.

The boy had white hair shaped like a spider spear, surrounding his head, and his moonlit pupils were clearly engraved with three scarlet blood characters: "Lower String" and "Five".

Exactly, the twelfth ghost month, the fifth of the second quarter - tired!

Looking at the knife-wielding boy in the sea of fire in front of him, his tired pupils contracted sharply.

"Column!"

Even if I don't know who it is, this amazing sense of oppression, this constant sense of crisis stinging from around the body, is constantly reminding me that the human in front of me is the swordsman with the highest honorary title in the ghost killing team.

It is also the prey that they want to attract when they carry out this imperial capital blood massacre plan.

Before facing the "pillar", he always laughed in his heart that those incompetent ghosts would be killed by the "pillar" who was just a human being.

If it is replaced by it, it will definitely cut off the head of the "pillar" and prove its strength.

That way, you won't see the disappointed eyes of adults in the Infinity City meeting.

But at this moment, tired, understood.

In the face of this creature called a human, but in fact more terrifying than the lower string ghost, the identity of the hunter and the prey, from the beginning, they were mistaken.

The astonishing feeling of oppression coming from the young man's body, especially the wave of destruction in his perception that seemed to devour him, made his heart, which had been calm for many years, begin to beat violently.

It turns out that this is the "pillar", and this is the culprit who has been constantly killing the lower string ghosts and making them constantly update and change their positions for hundreds of years!

"Huh...... Hehehehehe......"

Suddenly, tiredness began to laugh maniacally.

The laughter grew louder and louder, and it even covered its stomach with laughter.

"Haha, my lord said ...... Sure enough, yes! Hahaha, the lower chord of the 'column' has not been killed...... At all, there is no need to exist! ”

The laughter stopped, and he looked up tiredly, his eyes shining scarlet; "Human, do you think I'm just here alone?"

The voice fell, and in the other three directions on the top of the six-story building, three figures of different shapes appeared.

Such a big move by the soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion, coupled with the faint aura that disgusted the demons that permeated the whole district, had already alarmed the lower string ghosts in the other two districts.

An hour is enough time for them to outflank.

Originally, a few other lower string ghosts were going to observe for a while to see how the battle was going before deciding whether to make a move.

After all, despite the name of cooperation, the oni never think of their own kind as close partners.

However, subsequent developments exceeded their expectations, forcing them to appear earlier.

The Spider Tower is the fifth of the lower strings - a cage made of tired use of his own blood ghost skills and spent a lot of energy and time to weave.

Among them, the other lower strings also made a lot of efforts.

Its toughness and viscosity are enough to restrict the swordsmen of the ghost slayer team who enter this place, and it is a "surprise" prepared by the ghosts for the possible pillars!

Who would have thought that the Spider Tower, which had high hopes, did not last long before it was turned into ruins by a fire tornado, and the unusually tough spider silk in it turned into a foul-smelling scorched black substance.

And the "pillars" that appear here, this human teenager, exude a strong sense of oppression that makes them feel that they are facing the upper strings of a higher bloodline.

Just like that, the onlookers have long since fled.

After all, in the face of monsters comparable to the winding, they can't raise a trace of fighting spirit.

It's just that at some point, the feeling of being locked in appeared in their hearts, a feeling that they could not hide, that they would be found and killed wherever they fled, haunting them.

And the source of this feeling comes from this human being.

So, they had to show up and they had to show up.

Only by working together to defeat him can there be a chance of escape.

Slowly raising the Hinakura knife in his hand, Senjuro's expression was calm.

The ghosts lurking around the Spider Tower were indeed very skilled in their hidden methods, and he was really unaware of them at first.

However, the fluctuations of "Breath of Fire, Type Nine, Purgatory" swept in all directions, forcing the hidden demons to use their oni energy to resist.

Even though they have been very careful and the ghost qi they use is extremely weak, these fleeting ghost qi are as conspicuous as a light in the dark night in front of Chijuro, who has the characteristics of [Ghost Hunter].

Without hesitation, he threw out the [Hunting Mark] on the spot towards the location where the ghost qi appeared.

This skill, which was initially acquired only to master the level, changed dramatically after Senjuro consumed 10 life sources to increase to specialization.

"[Hunting Marker] (Mastery): A mature ghost hunter who has long been skilled in tracking his prey. Effect: Marks a prey and keeps track of its position (up to 5/5 of the target). Maximum duration of marking: 5 days. ”

The number of markers has been increased from 1 to 5, and the time has been increased from 3 days to 5 days.

It's a rebirth!

If it weren't for the fact that the source of life was really scarce, Senjuro would have been eager to take this skill to the next level.

And the feeling of being tracked and locked in the hearts of the ghosts of the lower strings is the effect of the [Hunting Mark] (specialization).

The four lower string ghosts gathered together, and the monstrous ghost qi that converged formed formed a bloody mouth in mid-air, as if in the next moment, it would devour Qianjurou completely.

"Why are you alone, them?"

Seeing that there were only 3 lower string ghosts, he said with some dissatisfaction.

"Ho! This cunning guy has shown up his strength except for the rally and the construction of the Spider Tower, and no one has seen it at any other time, you count on it, hehe! ”

The strong figure with a bloodshot face and eyes engraved with "lower string" and "two" mocked: "And the guy who carries the drum on his back and has not made any progress in strength for many years after becoming the lower string, I don't even recognize its identity as the lower string, I guess it is hiding in a corner and trembling at this time!" ”

"It's really unreliable." Tired shook his head and said noncommittally: "However, it is enough to have us." ”

"Hahaha, human, so-called pillar, are you ready, accept death?" There are "X" shaped scars on his forehead and cheeks, and the tall figure with "lower string" and "three" engraved in his eyes laughs wildly.

In the face of the lower string ghost and the provocation of the Quartet, Chijuro's complexion did not change in the slightest.

He slowly raised the Nichiren knife in his hand, and said in a calm voice: "You can catch 4 at a time, which is not bad." ”

"Breath of Fire, Type Ten, Blazing Shura!"

The monstrous flames instantly dispersed the ghost energy gathered on the roof of the building.

The four lower string ghosts, including tired, at this moment, their pupils almost contracted into pinpoint shapes.
