Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 203: The Ghost of Rashomon Doji Kiri

The woman is very beautiful, so beautiful that it gives people an unreal feeling. Her facial features are all perfect. It is the perfect look that the painter has to carve and work hard to portray.

And she did not wear the makeup that was common in this era. She only had two dots of bright red on her brows. Whether it was based on the aesthetics of Shen Yuanyi or the aesthetics of contemporary people, she was a stunning beauty that should not be seen in the world.

But it was this kind of perfection that woke people up from their intoxication. What followed was inexplicable horror. Igarashi, who was faster than Shenyuan Yi, looked at the woman and whispered. road.

"It's a cursed spirit, disaster level."

The other family magicians were very convinced of his judgment, and they all showed enough vigilance at the moment, and Shenyuan immediately understood that this was probably the current division of the curse's strength.

According to the levels he is familiar with, this 'disaster level' should belong to the special level. From its literal meaning, it can be understood that it is beyond the scope of ordinary judgment and can be regarded as a level of disaster. This is what a curse of this level has. Danger.

Faced with the undisguised hostility of everyone, the woman seemed not to notice it. She just turned around and led the way with a smile.

"laugh!"

The sharp neighing sound disappeared in a flash, and an obvious trace of distortion appeared in the air. The beautiful head of the woman walking in front suddenly tilted, and the next moment it broke from her neck and was about to fall to the ground.

"It's a bit troublesome."

Its ability is also very simple, that is, it inhibits the recovery ability of the body that was chopped by it. Its effect seems to be exactly restraining the current ability of this curse spirit at the moment. Is this a coincidence?

Onikiri's name comes from the fact that it once chopped off the arm of an evil spirit and saved its owner. According to myths and legends, that person was Watanabe Tsuna, Minamoto Yorimitsu's retainer.

Rather, it would be better to say that Nakabayashi Toya and several others could come back as survivors because of his spell. Maybe this curse spirit would be enough to destroy the team that had been spying on intelligence.

Especially since the opponent was a cursed spirit with a disaster level that was outstanding in this aspect, this reminded Igarashi of a cursed spirit that he had dealt with that was also a disaster level. That earthworm-like cursed spirit had no physical weaknesses. , no matter where you attack it, it can quickly heal its body, and it can also split into two entities that are the main body and the sub-body if it is cut in two.

His "Buddha Eyes" could see clearly. When the woman connected his head just now, there was no obvious fluctuation in the spell power. This also meant that the other party did not rely on magic to heal his body, but simply healed his body. Relying on the body's instinctive resilience.

The woman tilted her head and smiled, but there was no sign of anger, but her smile looked strange.

If Shuten Doji was beheaded by Dojigiri, and the technique of this sword is 'curse breaking', that is, it has an extremely excellent ability to break through the defenses related to curses, and can even perform cutting curses to create The behavior of invisible things such as flames and strong winds.

Onikiri.

In the end, after consuming a large amount of the opponent's mana, Igarashi used the ability of a shikigami to burn them all after seizing the fact that splitting his own existence would lead to some insignificant decrease in strength, which was not considered a weakness. When all is gone, the cursed spirit can be exorcised.

"Follow her. There's no point in starting a fight here. We don't have a quick way to deal with her, so let's go see what the Shuten boy looks like."

As soon as Shenyuan said nothing, he could directly deal with the cursed spirit, but for some reason he did not take action. At this moment, he was thinking about another thing.

If you think about it a little bit, in the world of magic, Doji Kiri is used to restrain Shuten Doji, so is Onikiri used to restrain Ibaraki Doji who had his arm cut off by it?

Then this cursed spirit in front of me...

"Gentlemen? If you want to have some fun, you'd better wait. My lord, please don't do it if you wait too long."

Igarashi gave up the plan to take action here, not that he felt that he was no match for this strange curse spirit, but that for such an enemy that was very difficult in some aspects, it would be very uncomfortable if he did not have corresponding restraint methods.

But one hand held it, and the neat fracture that was connected disappeared the next moment. If it weren't for the "plum blossoms" dyed by a few drops of black and red blood on the woman's body, they would almost think it was just an illusion.

But the opponent's abnormal recovery speed still made Igarashi a lot more solemn. This speed, let alone his reversal technique, was not so outrageous even with the shikigami who specialized in recovery.

And now this humanoid cursed spirit is even more terrifying than that. It can be killed, but thinking that there is a Shuten boy behind her, Igarashi is not surprised that Nakabayashi Toya and the others failed. .

The attack just now was the compressed slash released by Igarashi controlling his Kamaitachi. Even a stone wall could be cut in half in an instant. This sneak-attack probing attack did cause damage to it. caused harm.

Thinking of Shuten Doji's 'blood flame' surrounding him, this sword might be used to break through this defense. After seeing the strange recovery ability of this cursed spirit, Shenyuan thought of himself of another knife.

Shenyuan Yi flashed and appeared next to the woman walking in front. The latter's eyes instantly changed and returned to their original state. She still looked sideways at Shenyuan with that charming smile. .

Even Igarashi, who was behind him, was startled. He almost thought he was going to start a fight, but then he stopped planning to take action when he saw no further moves from Shenyuan.

The woman tilted her head as she walked, and her eyes swept over Shen Genichi and Mizuno Shiina who was hiding beside him. The unabashed greed in them scared Mizuno Shiina and she didn't even dare to look at this person who looked nothing like him from the outside. A non-scary presence. "What a beautiful boy, and a delicate child...it must taste very good!"

If the existence above her hadn't ordered her to bring these people over, then she might have been unable to restrain her desire for flesh and blood at this moment. After all, there were still such things among these seemingly difficult-to-eat products. Excellent product, but unfortunately I can only endure it for the time being.

"Do you know Ibaraki Doji?"

The next moment, the words that sounded from beside her brought back all her desire for flesh and blood to be with him. The smile on the corner of the woman's mouth became even bigger: "Ah... you have actually heard of my nickname. I'm really flattered. This I actually like you even more."

Ibaraki Doji smiled sweetly and said something with another meaning. She didn't know how the other party knew her name. It seemed that she handled it very cleanly every time. She cherished food very much, but there was no airtight wall in the world. , sooner or later her and Shuten-sama's names will be known all over the world.

"But, why does the handsome boy opposite have a strange look in his eyes?"

As soon as Shenyuan confirmed his suspicions, he felt a little complicated. He also remembered the curse spirits he summoned when he fought against the resurrected Shuten Doji. Among them, the most troublesome one was a beauty-looking curse. spirit.

I think it was the curse spirit created by Shuten-dōji using this Ibaraki-dōji as his original body, but they are not the curse itself from this thousand years ago, especially if the latter did not have some things in common, just based on strength It seems there is no connection at all.

"Would you like to taste them here first?"

Thoughts of desire suddenly arose in Ibaraki's heart, but then the terrifying figure shattered her thoughts, and her more unscrupulous eyes just now attracted the attention of the object of her desire.

An inexplicable chill emerged from her heart. There was no spell, but she found a familiar feeling from those eyes, like...like she was enjoying the fun and standing there. Mountain Blood Sea looked at his reflection in the pool of blood on the ground.

It was the same contempt for "ants". No matter what struggles those ants made, all they could bring her was fun and crushing her to death out of boredom.

"how……"

"Let's go, take me to see Shuten Doji."

Now that Kamogenichi has determined the identity of Ibaraki Doji, he has thought of something else. Curses, especially imaginary curses, are still closely related to their corresponding legends.

Although they are not all the same, many things can be strangely matched, such as Shuten, Doji Kiri, Genji... and according to history, Minamoto Yorimitsu, who is related to all of these, was a person in the middle of the Heian period.

However, evil spirits like Shuten have already appeared in the early Heian period, that is, now, and I have asked Igarashi before that among the people from the Genji who participated in this operation, there was no jutsu named Minamoto Yorimitsu. division.

If this key figure did not appear, does that mean that this operation was originally a failure? At least Shuten Douji was not exorcised until he was killed by Minamoto Yorimitsu himself, and at the same time he became Douji. Cut this famous knife.

Thinking of this, Kangenichi slowed down a little and came to Igarashi's side. Before the latter wanted to ask him how he knew about Ibaraki Doji, Kamogenichi took the lead and spoke: "Did you target alcohol this time?" What measures did Tun Tongzi take? For example, what kind of magic tool?"

Then Shenyuanyi heard a reply that made him a little confused: "Of course there is, Dongya and the others actually fought against that Shuten boy, but they didn't do anything to him. The damage escaped in a hurry, and what impressed him most was the opponent's defense against unknown spells."

"That was also the biggest reason for their defeat and heavy losses. In addition to targeting the spells, the Fujiwara family also asked the famous family that forged spells to create a batch of spells..."

The little monkey came out of Igarashi's sleeves again. While covering his ears, he also completely cut off the sound between the two people from the outside world.

"Genichi-kun is also the main force in this operation. It doesn't hurt to tell you that this sword is bound using a special method. It is not a complete work now and can only be regarded as a demon sword."

"Originally, it would be most appropriate to control it with your magical ability, but considering the possible negative effects, it is not easy for me to hand it over to you."

But Shen Yuanyi didn't want it, he just wanted to confirm one thing: "What is the name of the family you mentioned?"

This is not a secret, Igarashi said readily: "The Izumi family has a unique way of making spell tools, and most of them are swords. They are very popular among magicians and nobles. "

Shenyuan frowned. The first half of Doji Kiri An Tsuna was named Doji Kiri because he killed Shuten Douji, and the word An Tsuna was there because its creator was named An Tsuna. Isn't it now?

But Igarashi's next words suddenly changed: "However, the most outstanding person among them will be named after his ancestor, named Yasutsuna, and the outstanding cursed sword will come from his hands." It will also be named after him. If we can use this cursed sword to kill Shuten Doji this time... let me think about it..."

"According to the usual naming convention, this sword should be renamed 'Tong Zi Wei An Gang'."

Looking at Shen Yuanyi's somewhat incomprehensible look, Igarashi smiled: "What? Genuine-kun is very curious about it, so I can let you take a look, but Genichi-kun must be careful, the curse on it can be Not an ordinary thing.”
