The palace on the north side of the mountain.

This neat and ornate building, originally lying on the north side of the monster city, was like a giant beast that was not disturbed and affected.

But now, the beast has woken up.

Although it was broken, mostly collapsed, and in a mess, it did wake up. Spreading out its flesh and scales, it fused with the Ibuki serpent, which had also been sleeping for a long time, and with a lot of anger, it recklessly destroyed everything it could touch.

It brought wails, pain, death, and a monstrous firework to the country.

"Shhhh

The palace roared with the serpent god.

In this monster made of flesh and earth and stone, the middle of the snake's body extends upwards at the boundary of six "heads", and a slender and sharp blade fragment is embedded here, and the fragment is embedded so deep that it is submerged into the flesh and blood of the snake god, so that it is completely impossible to see the clue from the appearance.

The broken blade was intertwined with flesh, scales, and earth and stone.

The light was brilliant, like the morning light leaping over the horizon at dawn, but this light was converging and not outward, because the fragments were still wrapped in a layer of gray cold arcs.

The gray arc was the one who caused the Ibuki Snake to break through the shackles and undergo a mutation.

It is about 2,000 years ago, the sworn enemy of Ibuki Damyojin, Wakenmei.

This Yayoi period human warrior controlled more than half of the Ibuki Orochi's body.

He had successfully achieved what he wanted, a vengeance.

As for the chess piece that helped him accomplish this, the cunning ape seemed to have seized the rare opportunity to break free from the control of the Japanese Jianming and ran away without a trace.

He didn't care where the ape had gone.

The ape has accomplished its mission—

Enter the palace and use the fragments of Tenoo Habari to completely destroy the barrier of Ibuki Orochi's self-confinement, causing Orochi to break away from the shrine and giving Habari fragments a chance to embed in the body of the snake god.

The spirit of the Japanese Soul attached to the fragment of the feather can invade the body of the sworn enemy from the inside. Compete with the little pitiful self-consciousness of this mad serpent for the right to use this divine body.

It is enough to complete this step.

Wu Jianming didn't care much about whether the next ape was dead or alive, anyway, it was worthless.

All that's left is to enjoy the joyful slaughter and revenge.

"Ibuki, or should I call you a wine swallow? How are you feeling now, how are you feeling? ”

Okan died at the hands of Mt. Ibuki, the object of his crusade, the Ibuki Daimyojin who did not obey the imperial family.

"I'll give you back twice as much as what you gave me."

I was supposed to be an invincible martial artist, a prince who opened up territory.

It was supposed to be an emperor, it was supposed to be a god.

Admired, praised, and worshipped.

Originally, all of this was at your fingertips, as long as Ibuki you bowed down or died.

Like you, an evil god without a royal family, the end of your story should be defeated by heroes.

It's been like this since ancient times.

Why can't you just die honestly?

It's all your fault, look at what you've done?

Those things that should have belonged to me have come to naught, and you have stained the original glorious life of the incomparable Wuzun with a stain of shame that can never be washed away.

What am I now?

God?

No, it's not.

After dying at your hands, my body turned into decay, and if it weren't for that piece of Sky Tail Feathers, even my consciousness would cease to exist.

Now I'm worse than these lowly, obnoxious monsters under your command.

So, I'll give it back to you, double it.

It's so pleasant.

"Take a good look, Ibuki. I'll use your body to crush all the things you care about. ”

……

The central axis of the great river.

This spacious street in the style of the Heian period has been devastated.

The buildings along the street were destroyed, and flames rolled everywhere, licking everything around them that could be burned out with their fiery tongues of fire.

And the fog, that thick, snot-like fog, pushed by the foul-smelling wind and the sultry waves, washed over and over the streets.

Whoop –

The iron chains wrapped around his body collided violently and swayed, and the Golden Bear Boy arrived here first.

With him, except for the Star Bear Boy, there were only a small number of ghost generals and strange soldiers who had not yet penetrated into the space of the Living Fish Hotel, and most of them were ghost clans.

They ghosts can't stay in the thick fog released by the wine swallow for too long.

Even the Aragami like the Golden Bear and the Star Bear can probably only barely support a limited period of time.

"Stop Him...... Stop the king and don't let him destroy the country further! ”

Xingxiong held up the scarlet wide-mouthed wine bowl in his right hand for a few minutes and began to give orders.

The gods, before their eyes, were a pillar of gods who were truly and completely berserk.

With just two Aragami and a group of other members of the Oni Clan who can't even take advantage of cannon fodder, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to stop such an opponent's action.

However, the ghost clan had no other choice.

The serpent had apparently noticed the ghosts who had rushed closer.

The black scales of pitch-black light swam in the air, and a "snake head" moved to the sky above the heads of the oni clan. At the top of the snake's head was a giant human eye, without eyelids, it was a huge black eyeball wrapped in scales, the eyeball was black, and the middle pupil was golden.

As for the neck of the snake's head, there are also the trunk that branches out further down, the flesh scales are mixed with stones, the beams that are still burning, and the strange flesh that has not had time to turn to ashes.

The Ibuki Snake is absorbing everything around him, and he doesn't just merge with the palace, but it seems that he wants to engulf everything in the entire Great Rivers and Mountains.

Puff - Puff -

The flesh and scales below the head and neck of the eyeball snake in the air mingled with the building debris, making a wriggling sound. The pupils of the huge eyeballs continued to expand and contract, locking onto the ghosts, and then without hesitation, they launched an attack on these former subordinates.

A massive, fire-filled black shadow descended from the sky and slammed down with lightning speed.

The sound of rattling chains spread again.

The chains on the golden bear boy's body jumped one by one, colliding with each other and rising into the sky, entangled the eyeball snake head.

Before the two sides officially began wrestling.

The roar of a serpent rang out high in the sky.

Another "snake head" roared from a distance and swept towards the central axis of the street, and the top of this snake head was an ear.

The Star Bear Boy threw out the wine bowl in his hand.

The wide-mouthed bowl was empty, but as it hovered in the air, a clear column of wine poured out. The syrup quickly converged, forming a surging torrent rushing out, rushing towards the head of the eared snake, and rushing back the snake's head.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang on the left side of the main street.

Another snake head, solid scales sticking to the ground, swept through the flesh and ruins with overwhelming momentum, and rushed unstoppably. This time, the top of the snake's head was the nose, and the wide wings of the nose twitched, as if it smelled the wine in the "Star Bear Cup".

"Spread out!"

The Oni tried to dodge the menacing blow.

A ghost will be directly crushed by the nose snake head, and the golden bear boy who is entanglement in the front eyeball snake head, he also has no time to avoid it.

The chains on his body shook and rushed to the side, trying to defend himself, only to be broken by the violent impact.

The chain broke, and the golden bear smashed into the ruins on the right like a cannonball from the barrel, sending up a large amount of smoke and dust.

"Golden Bear!"

Even if he doesn't deal with Jin Xiong, Xingxiong and him are still comrades on the same front at this moment.

But before he could confirm the status of his companion, another snake head roared down from the sky......

Face Ibuki Oroch, face this true god.

The ghost clan has no room to fight back at all, even if there are two Aragami, but under the weakening of the mist, they are still about to collapse.

Not even enough to make the snake god serious.

……

"Hmm...... It hurts. ”

The Star Bear Boy quickly rose from the sticky pile of flesh.

The only female king in the great rivers and mountains was embarrassed at the moment, her body was soaked with blood and wine, and the vermilion clothes were moistened, and the red was even more bewitching, clinging to the skin, sticking to the open flesh.

Her dazzling blonde hair hung disheveled, and a few strands of hair were wet on her cheeks.

In the face of the attack of the snake god just now, the star bear wrapped his whole body with the abundant wine in the wine bowl, but this level of defense was easily broken by the flesh and blood impact of the snake god.

The battle had only been a three-minute battle, perhaps shorter, and she was already overwhelmed.

And now near the central axis, strange pieces of flesh and blood are smeared all over the streets, some of which have begun to turn to ashes, and some of which have a fresh, disgusting smell of blood, mixed with the stench of minced meat.

Loud howls and feeble and painful moans could still be heard from everywhere. But these voices were finally obscured by the smoke of the blazing fire, and by the roar of the serpent in the heights.

It's a purgatory for youkai.

Defeat, as well as death, seem to be clearly predicted and inevitable.

"Ibaraki-sama......"

But Ibaraki-sama is still trapped by Inujiro at the moment.

If she's here......

No, even if Ibaraki-sama is here, will he really be able to stop the rampaging Oni King?

The pitch-black scales, the ruins of the building, and the flaming light of the fire swam overhead once again.

The snake gods followed one after another, and they didn't give the star bear a chance to breathe at all.

Is this the end of the road?

Xingxiong once again held up the "Xingxiong Cup", and the wine in the wide-mouthed wine bowl trickled out and trickled to the ground.

In the ruins in the distance, the faint sound of chains colliding could be heard, and the golden bear was probably still struggling.

Above the clouds, a black shadow fell like a mountain toppling.

"Since this life was given by the king, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death if it is taken back by him, right?"

The will to fight of the Star Bear, and the candle flame faint as the wind.

In the face of invincible enemies and the former king, it is really difficult for her to maintain high fighting spirit.

"In the end, it's still ...... Failed to hold the country. ”

The hideous and majestic black shadow in his sight gradually enlarged, and the wine in the star-bear's wine bowl only surged upwards without power.

At this time, the one-horned female ghost heard a voice coming from behind her: "Star bear, it's not time to despair yet!" ”

It was a clear, completely unfamiliar voice.

Don't wait for the star bear to react.

She felt her shoulders grabbed and fell backwards.

The eyeballs in the air flew away, and the vision was filled with scribbled, frenzied, ornate black lines.

There is also a strange cold light with a "buzzing" sound, as well as burgundy mottled walls and damp carpets, which are pieced together in all directions like abstract paintings, combined and separated.

This is the quirky space in Inujiro's mansion.

When did it spill over like this?

Rumble!

The snake's head landed in the distance, stirring up strong smoke and construction debris.

But the attack landed so far away from the current Star Bear that she was completely unaffected.

She looked back in astonishment—

In the distorting background of the black line space, behind Xingxiong, it was a completely unfamiliar existence that grabbed her.

It was a black array of feathers, and the feathers were embellished with gorgeous golden lines. And the owner of this costume wears a mysterious, grotesque and solemn three-color mask on the front, and can only see a pair of torch-like eyes under the mask flickering brightly.

A tyrannical but feminine ghost hand floats to the right of this haori.

The ghost hand clawed a pitch-black and cold, gloomy sword.

Whether it was the ghost hand or the big sword, it gave Xingxiong a strange sense of familiarity.

And the other party's body has an obvious human breath, but there is also the breath of ghosts and gods.

This...... Who is it?

Why can you feel a strong, and similar to the momentum of the ghost king of the past from his body?

Moreover, behind this heroic strange talk, you can also see several strange figures of different shapes.

Judging by the breath alone, those are all Aragami.

And it's also an extremely stable and powerful Aragami.

When did there become more of these things?

"Whew—I'm glad I arrived just in time."

Kamiyagawa rescued the star bear, and his tone was relaxed and relieved.

But the Star Bear Boy was still stunned at the moment, and he didn't recognize the identity of Kamiya. Moreover, she saw that the space of the hotel was spreading around it, and black lines were entangled and stretched rapidly forward at low altitude.

At the tip of the black line, a familiar petite figure is moving.

Ibaraki-sama!

Half of Ibaraki's white Dae-yu was soaked in blood, but that didn't stop her from moving.

By her side, Asaki was leading the way, and the two of them rushed towards the snake god who had occupied the northern end of the Great River Mountain City.

"It's not a drink, it's not a king."

Ibaraki also saw the frenzied six-headed snake god, which was definitely not the ghost king of the great rivers and mountains that she was familiar with.

She could be sure that the Ghost King must have been affected by some force when he became what he was now.

He must be playing tricks.

And the moment she saw the state of the snake god, Ibaraki Boy was sure that with her strength, it was absolutely impossible to suppress the snake god.

Even if it is not in a state of injury, it is impossible.

Therefore, it is necessary to get support, while the great snake has not completely destroyed the great country.

And there is only one person who can ask for help at the moment, and that is "Inujiro".

Asking him for help would have been humiliating for Ibaraki, but after the battle of being imprisoned in the basement, it seemed that he had been able to get used to it a little.

No matter what, it's better than the complete destruction of the country.

Ibaraki, who was on the run, looked down to see where Inujiro was, and saw the guy she hated holding Hoshikuma's shoulder with one hand, and the latter looked confused.

"Inujiro, don't dig the foot of the wall of the big country anymore at this time! As long as I can save the country, I can let Xingxiong obey you! Ibaraki shouted, "Aren't you amazing?" Help! ”

On the ground, in the overlapping spaces of the hotel.

The dog god heard the angry shouts from the heights, and subconsciously shook his ears and raised his head, but quickly lowered his head.

Well, the name "Inujiro" is now used by the owner.

Not calling yourself.

"I feel the need to reiterate." Kamiyagawa raised his ghost hand, and quickly pulled out a brand-new golden sword from the [Mirage Cloth Bag] with his right hand, "We have already talked about it just now, it's one thing to let you out, and if you want me to help, this is another price." ”

Ibuki Orochi, who can't win or not, won't talk about it for the time being.

But before making a move, the conditions must be negotiated.

Kamiyagawa is unwilling to suffer, and he can't treat himself badly. (End of chapter)
