Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 204 The King of One Hundred Demons—Shuten Doji

Igarashi was wearing a loose outer garment. At this time, he opened one side of the outer garment, revealing the tachi tied around his waist.

The scabbard, blade and other appearance of the sword had nothing in common with Shen Yuanyi's boy-kiri, but his expression when looking at the sword was very serious.

Igarashi slightly drew out the blade, and an unknown spell of magical power suddenly disappeared, and then quickly disappeared as the sword was sheathed. This ripple did not even affect the invisible barrier around them. Break through.

And Shenyuan Yi naturally captured that breath accurately. Although it was not completely the same, the essential similarities were enough for Shenyuan Yi to confirm that this cursed sword was the Doji Kiri from thousands of years ago.

"Special-grade curse tools are not easy to make, especially since there are requirements for their effectiveness, so we can only use this method to make a half-finished curse knife."

"Using the curse, this cursed knife will advance its magical ability. As a price, the user will suffer a certain amount of cursed power, and must use it to kill the intended target. Otherwise, this sword will not be able to kill. Any living creature can be said to be worse than a piece of scrap metal."

Igarashi has nothing to hide, and as he said, the reason why this cursed sword was given to him for use is because he has a shikigami that can provide considerable healing power.

After knowing what he wanted to know, Kangenichi became a little lost. After the little monkey shikigami was taken in by Igarashi, the group of people followed the Ibaraki boy towards the top of the mountain with vigilance.

They had already been close to the top of the mountain before, so it didn't take long for them to reach the top now. There was no shadow that could cover them in everyone's field of vision. When they looked up, they could see the gloomy sky as if the sun had been swallowed by the Tengu. .

"Everyone, please, the Lord will be waiting for your audience there."

Shenyuan lowered his head and looked at Mizuno Shiina. Along the way, this little guy may have seen more cursed spirits in this realm than many people have encountered in their lifetime, not to mention that there are some first-level ones among them. Even existences like Ibaraki, who is a special-level or disaster-level person.

Seeing now, he has a deeper understanding of his title as the 'King of One Hundred Ghosts'. An ordinary person, or even just a child, can keep himself from collapse and mental damage after witnessing these horrific curses. It's already considered good.

After driving most of the way, Ibaraki took the lead and walked inside, submerging himself into the darkness that was so deep that it could swallow up the light.

"There are so many cursed spirits under the mountain, but they are not over yet. Judging from the fact that the strength of these cursed spirits is generally higher than that of those miscellaneous fish, these are probably the real elites."

Looking at the smile of the beautiful Ibaraki-dōji, it was obvious that the destination of this trip was that palace, which was the palace of Shuten-dōji, the lord of the country.

"Afraid?"

"Everyone, please act according to the plan. The next step is to decide life and death. Don't be careless!"

This area is filled with strange, large and small cursed spirits. It’s really a place where demons are dancing and evil spirits are rampant.

However, Kangenichi saw the tenacity slowly emerging from Mizuno Shiina's body. He had no chance to use his techniques on her. It could be seen that she was still a little frightened, but it seemed that out of some inexplicable persistence, She was even trying to keep her expression calm.

After warning everyone, he took the lead and walked ahead. As soon as he entered the darkness, Igarashi's eyes emitted a strange red light, and ferocious ghost horns emerged from his head at some unknown time. He had completed the technique. He was ready for everything, and the next step was to kill the ghost!

Igarashi said in a deep voice, you must know that the current team is not comparable to those who stayed in the mountain. The people present are either the elite magicians of the nobles, or the talents who stand out from the free magicians. From his perspective, if these people suffered a lot of losses, whether they were from other families or from the Fujiwara family, as the general person in charge, he would have to bear some responsibility.

That's a palace!
A black palace made of steel that is full of wild atmosphere but has a different kind of beauty.

So Shenyuan Yi and his party walked through this path of evil spirits under the eager gazes of a large number of cursed spirits around them, until they came to the hell wall that was so tall that they could only look up, with all kinds of evil ghost images engraved on it. door.

There was a vague flash of strange color in Igarashi's eyes, but the battle he expected did not begin. Under the leadership of Ibaraki Doji who was at the front, the curse spirits vacated a path like the receding tide.

Although the strength of these curse spirits would not make them feel desperate, the number that should not be underestimated also made several people feel a little heavier.

Next, he would have to witness the Shuten-douji who was above him. Shenyuan Yi had a premonition about this. I am afraid that the opponent would not be as weak as the Shuten-douji he faced after his resurrection.

The top of the mountain turned out to be a flat platform, in the middle of which sat the black palace, and in the wide open space in front of it were wandering an astonishing number of curse spirits.

Ibaraki stretched out her jade arms like white jade from her sleeves, and then placed them on the door, which was as thick as a mountain and could be felt at a glance, and then there was a dull and frightening friction. In the sound, the iron door was pushed open by force.

No, there is still something standing on the top of the mountain, becoming the only majestic thing on it. It even attracts everyone's attention the moment they see it.

Just holding Shen Yuanyi's little hand tightly revealed the nervousness in her heart: "I...I'm not afraid. Mr. Yuanyi, I also want to have the ability to exorcise these ghosts like you. I...I don't want to let people like you get rid of them again." Everyone in the village was eaten by them!"

Shenyuan was silent for a moment, looking at the other party's eyes that had covered up the fear firmly, then he raised his feet and led her towards the darkness ahead: "This is a very difficult road, I will respect your wishes, But you still have a chance to regret it, after all, what I’m best at is making choices all over again.”

----"Da da……"

In the silent and empty hall, the footsteps of everyone were light enough but still very obvious, until a crisp and subtle explosion sounded, and soft lights lit up one after another from both sides.

It was a series of wall fires hanging on the walls. While they illuminated the interior of the palace, they naturally attracted everyone's attention. However, with just a glance, everyone looked at the fires on the walls with different expressions. lamp.

"Don't look at this."

Kangenichi's hand appeared above Mizuno Shiina's head before she could adapt to the light, but he did not completely separate her line of sight, and the latter also saw the general appearance of those wall lamps at a glance. The shape...is actually a series of people?

Mizuno Shiina subconsciously obeyed the other party's instructions in the gentle voice above her head, and did not look at the sight that made people instinctively disgusted and disgusted.

Those wall lamps are actually human corpses that have been processed by unknown means. They are embedded in the cast iron lamps, and there seems to be other lamp oil to help them burn. These are naked, different men and women, but they are all young. The remains of his body have now become the lighting of this palace of evil spirits.

"How about my masterpiece?"

A slightly hoarse sound sounded, like the restrained friction and collision between iron tools, entangled with the sparks that sputtered out, and then a figure that was deeper and darker than the shadow walked out from the depths of the palace.

His long red hair was casually draped behind his back, and he was only wearing a gorgeous attire covering his lower body. His body muscles were so strong that they seemed to be integrated with the palace, so exposed.

That is a man who is so handsome that he even surpasses Ibaraki Doji. It does not mean that the other person's facial features overshadow the inhuman Ibaraki, but the aura of the other person, the one that is reflected in every move and even a look. And the temperament that shows up!

That is...the majesty of the king is also the heart that regards everything in sight as an ant or a hawk.

At this moment, he was as proud as if he was introducing his proud work to others, and Ibaraki had already walked behind him and stood quietly with his eyes lowered. There was no doubt that the red-haired man in front of him was the ghost of Dajiangshan. The Lord of the Domain—Shuten Doji!
"In order to create these beautiful scenes, I carefully selected them for a long time and then made them one by one. It can be said that each of them comes from my whole heart."

The proud look on Shuten's face suddenly turned into disgust: "Those idiots don't understand this. Ibaraki only knows how to agree with my thoughts, and there is no one to talk to about the thoughts I put into it! Today..."

"You did such a thing and used it as a means of showing off. Are you ready to be punished?"

At this moment, Igarashi, who looked more like an evil spirit than Shuten, interrupted the other party's words in a deep voice. It was not that he had never killed other magicians, and it was not that he had not seen all kinds of human tragedies when he was exorcising curses.

However, this kind of evil that does not regard people as living things at all, but treats them as toys, dead objects like stones and plants, and plays with them wantonly is extremely rare among curse spirits.

Although Igarashi is used to curses harming human beings, it does not mean that there is no anger in his heart at this moment.

"Angry ghost!"

The flames escaped from his eyes and clung to the ghost horns above his head. The anxious breath spread to the surroundings. With Igarashi's signal, the others were also ready, and their respective methods were only It only takes a moment before he pounces on Shuten and starts this demon-hunting battle.

"Don't interrupt my words!"

The angry scolding echoed like thunder in the palace in an instant. After a few rounds, it had lost its original appearance, and it was just a pure bang that destroyed everyone's hearing.

"The ears don't listen."

Igarashi once again summoned the little monkey after possessing a shikigami. The violent roar disappeared instantly, and the surroundings became calm.

After canceling the summons to the little monkey, Shuten's angry scolding had also subsided along with the lights that were shaking with it, and the joy of trying to share his masterpiece was no longer on his handsome face, replaced by a cold expression. Killing intent.

"A bunch of beasts that don't understand etiquette, you'd better go and be the food of my subordinates. I spared those people earlier just to have some fun today. Let me see what you so-called magicians are capable of." By what means!"

"Don't die too quickly!"

The ground shook, red light suddenly lit up from everywhere in the palace hall, and the sudden burning sensation made everyone feel something bad.

"This palace... is also Shuten's weapon!"
