Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 209 I am the king of ghosts
"Let's just wait and see."

The bloody flames on Shuton's body suddenly sank downwards, and the semi-solid and semi-liquid metal flames wrapped around the ground rose up. Then, among the shapes it wrapped, an iron backrest solidified in a few breaths. .

After sitting down comfortably, Shuten raised his hands to support his head and leaned on the back of the chair, waiting for the outcome of the battle. However, Igarashi did not relax at all, and he did not even release the technique.

First of all, it wouldn't cost much mana just to maintain it, and he didn't think it would take a long time to determine the winner. Secondly, he was afraid of Shuten.

After the other party liberated his true form, he truly realized the power of the 'Ghost King'. If it weren't for the fact that he had a variety of styles, including many with cunning and eccentric abilities, he would have suffered a big loss just now.

As a result, the two of them fell into a strange and peaceful relationship, while Shuten was still explaining to him the battle between the two subordinates halfway down the mountain.

"It seems like your people can't last much longer. They are really a bunch of rabble. This is the bad nature of you people. How about using their flesh and blood as a farewell wine for your trip to the underworld later?"

Igarashi didn't have too much disbelief about the defeat of the others mentioned by Shuten. In fact, he was very satisfied that they could persist until this point. He could only say that the intelligence returned by Nakabayashi Toya's spying was not incomplete.

But it’s not his fault. With his strength, it’s impossible to detect the reality of the Dajiangshan Ghost Domain. It’s very lucky to get such a little bit of information. And now it seems that his ability to escape back is probably not only due to his magic skills. It is still unknown how intentional this King of Ghosts is.

He didn't believe that Shuton, who was of such strength, didn't have a few disaster-level curse spirits under his command, and no troublesome characters had appeared until now. Perhaps this was because Shuton didn't want those miscellaneous fish to disturb his enjoyment of the battle.

After all, even if Heianjing is destroyed, they will not be the most anxious. Of course, this is a strategic plan. Getting rid of the evil spirits in the country is the best solution. Heianjing is not only for the royal family, it also belongs to all major families.

The first is to unite the forces of Buddhism, and then those families that are important in both the human world and the world of magic. Taking over power from the royal family is not that simple.

And those cursed spirits who didn't come know where they will be after thinking about it. Shuten is right. The front line on the other side may collapse at any time, and we can't delay it any longer...

----

But with the addition of Buddhism as an external factor, Shintoism has now focused most of its attention on the former, which is also a religion. Even if the Buddhism that flows into the local area is a dragon crossing the river, it has to hold its own against the local snakes that have been entrenched here for a long time. Enough fear.

The purpose of eradicating the Dajiangshan ghost domain is based on various considerations. It would be great if it succeeds, and they can use this to make more articles. If it fails, I am afraid that all parties will not try to send more forces in the future.

It is impossible for the Fujiwara family and other families to use all their knowledge to deal with Shuten. As an important figure in the Fujiwara family's spells, he will certainly know many things. For example, the Fujiwara family wants to control the power of the royal family to make himself a shadow. of rulers.

In the past, when the descendants of Amaterasu and the Shinto religion joined forces to rule the mortal world and the world of magic, the nobles could only rely on it and never stand up, but everything in this world is like the sea, with ebbs and flows, and eventually an end.

And these guys who stood at the top of the power naturally saw the opportunity. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the Fujiwara family, who had been working secretly here, had a plan.

In the past, except for the family's own magicians, any ordinary person with spell qualifications had to pass their test. It is conceivable that those with amazing talents were naturally absorbed by them.

Holding the cursed sword in his hand, Igarashi secretly made up his mind. Even if the price he would pay was extremely heavy, he would have to take action next.

The strong take all, and the losers eat the dust.

For this reason, there are probably only a dozen or so people who know about this plan. Most people may just think that this is a move to expand power and power. After all, Shintoism has become domineering by virtue of its close binding with the royal family. Too long.

So they also had a tacit understanding with several major families. Yes, there was no naked transaction between the two parties, and their leaders had never even met. However, the tacit understanding of sharing the flesh and blood of the previous generation of overlords made them strangely achieve the goal of non-existence. Cooperation.

"Must... kill them!"

The influx and localization of Buddhism, as well as the decline of the royal bloodline, have resulted in the country having no decent spellcasters for a long time. The successful foothold of Buddhism here has also taken away a lot of the control power of Shintoism, and even overwhelms the latter. signs.

And Igarashi's team is already the best choice in this situation. If it fails this time, these evil ghosts will be free for who knows how long, and who knows how many people will suffer disaster.

Just when Shuten wanted to get some delicious food to quench his thirst, the stalemate on the field only lasted for a moment but seemed to be extremely long, but there was something strange in the field battle.

"coming!"

Igarashi clenched the cursed sword in his hand. Although he was very confident about it, there was Shuten next who was also the most difficult person. The real battle had not yet begun. The black barrier shell was the first to shatter, and when both of them stared there intently to see the result, the rain of flesh and blood that flew out disrupted their vision.

"Click..."

There was a harsh sound of metal twisting, and the solid iron armrest under Shuten's seat was twisted and deformed in his hands. He had already seen the figure standing among the flesh and blood debris, and the other person... also looked at him.

Igarashi showed a relaxed smile. He was indeed right. The unpredictable young man was not that simple. No one else was even injured. Also, he was confident enough to take the little girl, who was just an ordinary person, to remove the Apart from the most improbable stupidity, there is only one possibility left: that he is absolutely sure of his own strength.

"How did you kill her?"

Of course, Ibaraki knew Shuten's technique. If that terrifying recovery ability was not the most direct restraint, it would be unsolvable for many magicians. What exactly was that boy's technique? Being able to kill Ibaraki in such a short period of time and cut her into pieces completely...

Shenyuan Yi did not answer immediately, but raised his eyes to look at the sky that was getting darker and darker, and at the sudden surge of abnormal spell power around him.

"It's not important anymore. Are you ready to meet Huang Quan?"

The scarlet light emitted by the fifteen pupils became stronger and stronger, and the blood flames surrounding Shuten also expanded in size, and in an instant they had flooded the land of rock flow.

Shuten Doji raised his feet and stepped forward. As he fell step by step, his body wrapped in blood flames also began to shrink. After a few steps, he was only less than two people tall.

But his momentum climbed to a frightening level at an even more terrifying speed, and Igarashi also took action immediately.

While holding the cursed knife in his hand and rushing towards Shuten, three little monkeys jumped out of him and stayed in place. They covered their mouths, eyes, and ears respectively, but they were silent, unable to see, and unable to hear. Three can also be regarded as one curse spirit.

Of course, their technique is also very obvious, that is, it interferes with these three senses. Igarashi uses them to block Shuten's senses, but considering the gap between them, this interference may not last long.

But it was enough. With his current ghost body and this demon sword in his hand, there was still hope of killing Shuten, not to mention that he was not fighting alone now.

Reversal of forward and reverse, puppet manipulation, silk web weaving... For a moment, everyone launched the attack in tacit agreement, but the wave of blood flame shattered everything.

As an external manifestation of the Shuten Jutsu, that thing seemed to have extremely terrifying dual defense and killing capabilities against attacks from other spells. In the blink of an eye, only Igarashi managed to break through the bloody flames from the flanking attack from both sides. In front of Shutun.

"Is this knife prepared for me? It seems that my last whim caused me some trouble..."

The whistling black shadow collided head-on with Igarashi's slashing blade. The difference in weapons instantly caused the latter to suffer a loss. The cursed blade was hard enough and was not broken in the collision, so this huge force would naturally Let the owner holding it bear all the burden.

With just one blow, the surface tissue of Igarashi's ghostly palm was shattered, and he almost couldn't hold the cursed sword and let it go. But for him who had never experienced any kind of injury, this was it. With one hand broken, he could still hold the cursed sword with the other hand and fight without changing his expression.

He may not care about the injury, but Igarashi cannot ignore what this fight means. The sudden increase in strength of the other party has made him realize something.

"His technique! It's this ghost land! It must..."

Jiutun, whose vision had just recovered to the point where he could see clearly, smiled ferociously and smashed down the ferocious soldiers again. He didn't care that the other party would reveal his technique. What he wanted now was to crush them all under the claws of this mace. Under the teeth.

"Why bother, just let me show it to you!"

The cries of evil spirits suddenly echoed in every inch of space accompanied by the appearance of the blood moon. Skeletons and corpses... I don't know when they have covered the surrounding space that can be seen, and what is even more terrifying are those Countless cursed spirits appeared around everyone without any warning.

But at this moment, Shuten Douji's aura actually climbed up a level again. Standing among hundreds of ghosts, he single-handedly overpowered the existence of all the cursed spirits. He had become the ghost realm and almost all of them. The collection of all cursed spirits is the name of the Ghost King.

"I am Jiutun, the king of all ghosts in the country!" The wild laughter resounded throughout the world.

"The realm unfolds and hundreds of ghosts walk at night across the country!"
