I, Den-O, Contract Urban Legend

Inoue Ueya shook his head and put aside the sudden idea that came to his mind.

——No, it's absolutely impossible. I'm thinking too much. It's impossible that everything is related to me.

"Hey, Inoue!"

Suddenly, Natsukawa Hanako patted Inoue Ueya on the back. After seeing him come to his senses, she continued: "Don't be in a daze, it's time to go! The battle just now was not enough to satisfy me. Let's go inside and find a strong opponent to fight!"

As soon as the voice fell, Natsukawa Hanako attached herself to Inoue Ueya again, took down the road sign next to her, carried it on her shoulders, and walked into Nijo Castle carelessly.

"Yoshi, use this road sign to blow away all the guys who get in the way!"

[Don't destroy the public environment! ]

For some reason, after a fierce battle, Natsukawa Hanako became more energetic. The previous battle seemed to make her want to fight against the stronger Yuyi Fox.

"Wait, it's my turn this time!"

A ball of purple light emerged from the time train and merged into Inoue Ueya's body at lightning speed. The sudden impact forced out the red light that was in Inoue Ueya's body.

"The long-awaited possession is finally here. It's Mary time now! Hanako-chan, just go back to the train and do logistics!"

Inoue Ueya's body stagnated, and the road sign in his hand fell to the ground with his hands loosened. His eyes glowed purple, and he ran into Nijo Castle alone with a rhythmic pace.

Natsukawa Hanako turned back into a human body and gritted her teeth and said, "Hey! Stop it, how can I let you fight monsters, you little brat!"

Seeing that "Inoue Ueya" had already stepped into Nijo Castle, Natsukawa Hanako picked up the road sign that fell on the ground without saying a word and hurriedly followed.

The monsters who stayed in place looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and looked at Iwanaga Kotoko, whose face had turned gloomy.

"Really? Now we are going to break into Nijo Castle, which is full of Kyoto monsters. Why are they acting so casually again? I must talk to them after I get home!"

A mysterious black air emanated from Iwanaga Kotoko. Although it was not "fear", her aura made the monsters shudder inexplicably, just like an instinctive reaction when encountering danger.

Iwanaga Kotoko took a deep breath, held her forehead, and shook her head: "In short, let's follow them first, and we'll talk about the plan later... Sachiko, please possess me again!"

In Nijo Castle, "Inoue Ueya" followed the source of "fear" and walked on the road without any concealment. Although the Kyoto monsters ambushed around him, they continued to stare at the entrance as if they didn't notice his existence.

"Hehe, it seems that my ability is still very useful. This time, my sister and I will defeat the feathered fox in one go. Sadako and the others will be surprised when they know how powerful we are!"

Inoue Ueya's tone was somewhat helpless. Although he hoped that Mary could follow the team, she looked so excited that she probably wouldn't listen to anything he said.

[It is undeniable that the ability to reduce the sense of presence is indeed the best way to find the feathered fox, but there may be monsters in the city that can see through this trick, so don't take it lightly...]

Chapter 254 Can I defeat you?

"Hey, you little brat, stop for me, don't run around here!"

The angry Hanako Natsukawa chased up from behind. It seemed that because of the contract, even if Mary was in the state of using her ability, she could still feel the presence of Inoue Ueya.

Although the Kyoto monsters lurking nearby could not see "Inoue Ueya" whose presence was temporarily eliminated, they could see Hanako Natsukawa rushing in, and they all ran out to stop Hanako from moving forward.

"That's enough, Nijo Castle belongs to our Kyoto monsters, and anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"

Hanako Natsukawa was already in a bad mood, and now she was blocked by monsters. Her dissatisfaction completely broke out, and she swung the road sign in her hand and threw it at the Kyoto monster without saying a word.

Although there are many Kyoto monsters, most of them are just ordinary monsters, and they are completely no match for the furious Hanako Natsukawa. In the blink of an eye, they were blown away by the road sign in her hand.

"Too scary, are there monsters in the world that use road signs to hit people?"

"Ah, this force is like being hit by a heavy truck is really too scary, we can't stop her with our strength alone..."

"Then why are you still standing there, go find nearby monsters to support!"

More and more monsters appeared, and Hanako Natsukawa fought all the way, but she lost "Inoue Ueya" unknowingly. Due to Mary's ability, Hanako needed to be near Inoue Ueya to sense his position. Now the distance between the two was far away, and she had to spend a long time to find each other.

"I'm so annoyed, you guys, stop blocking my way!"

On the other hand, "Inoue Ueya" relied on his ability to eliminate his sense of existence and walked all the way unimpeded. When he came to the inner moat of Nijo Castle, he saw two huge ghosts, holding maces in their hands, standing on the bridge leading to the inner hall.

[Well, Erjo Castle has two moats, corresponding to the inner and outer palaces respectively. The black pillar gathering resentment came out from near the inner palace. The monsters responsible for the defense seem to be relatively powerful. Hagoromo Fox It should be over there now, right? 】

"Hey, So Onii-chan, you are so familiar with the terrain here?"

Mary felt a little puzzled. In her memory, Inoue Ueya usually either went to school or stayed at home. Although he occasionally went out with other girls, he should not be interested in such historical buildings, but he said It's like you've been here before.

"Something feels wrong. Onii-chan, did you sneak out alone while Sadako and the others weren't paying attention?"

[Ah ha ha ha... Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's focus on the mission first. It seems that we are rushing on the time train. The group of monsters just opened the seal and we have already arrived at Erjo City, so They don't have time to set up their defence. The defense outside is not as tight as expected, and there are no powerful monsters guarding the outer hall we just passed. There are just some ordinary monsters ambushing nearby, but it is hard to say when you enter the inner hall. You must stay vigilant! 】

"I know, don't worry and leave it to me!"

"Ueya Inoue" continued to walk forward. The ghost clan in charge of guarding didn't even notice anything strange and successfully walked to the other side of the bridge.

"Hmph, what Kyoto monsters? They can't see us at all. Let's just go in the direction of the black pillar, right?"

[Alas, I still hope Mary will act more cautiously...]

However, a strange voice suddenly sounded from nearby.

"Oh, that's really incredible. Like the Slippery Ghost, it has the ability to reduce... no, it's actually a weird thing that can directly erase its own existence?"

"Ueya Inoue" turned around and saw a man with a strange appearance and short stature coming not far away. He had a Tsukiyo head and was wearing a kimono. It's a pity that the man didn't have a sword on him, otherwise he would be a typical person. warrior dressed up.

It is worth mentioning that the strange man was looking in the direction of Ueya Inoue from the beginning, with an indescribable weirdness in his eyes. His eyes happened to fall on him, and they looked at each other. It was like seeing him whose existence had been erased.

"One word from the ghost, "he" is right in front of you! "

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge head almost the size of an adult suddenly appeared from behind "Ueya Inoue". It opened its bloody mouth and pounced in the direction of Ueya Inoue, as if it wanted to kill him. Devour it in one bite.

An inexplicable sense of crisis arose in the heart of "Ueya Inoue", and he rushed forward without hesitation, avoiding the sneak attack from behind at the critical moment.

"Did the sneak attack fail? What a pity. We almost managed to kill a dangerous existence without any effort..."

The two monsters that attacked Inoue Ueya were Oniichi and "Kaku". They are both the right-hand assistants of Hagoromo Fox. Although they are not as strong as those cadre-level members, they also have extremely powerful abilities. The former can do it in one breath It swallows countless things, and the latter is a monster with the ability to read minds.

Similarly, like the three cadres, after becoming contractors of the strange demon god, although the two of them did not advance to the realm of great monsters, their strength was still greatly improved.

After its strength has been improved, the ability of "Kaku" has become even more powerful. Even if the opponent cannot be seen with the naked eye and the sense of existence has been erased, "Ueya Inoue" cannot escape its mind reading. By reading the opponent's voice Thereby judging their intentions, and then commanding the ghost to attack, this is a common tactic used by the two of them.

When encountering monsters that can decipher their own abilities, "Ueya Inoue" looked at them with excitement, because Mary knew that the first battle she had been looking forward to was about to begin.

Although Mary had participated in battles before, such as the battle with the Ushi-demon at Mount Takagan, it was actually Inoue Ueya himself who was fighting, as well as the strange demons who dealt with the trouble when Inoue Ueya was seriously injured and unconscious, and even the Kotoko Iwanaga would occasionally take her with her when executing a commission, but she almost always relied on Mari's teleportation ability. Compared to a head-on confrontation, Inoue Ueya and the others were worried that she would be injured, so they preferred to let her come on weekdays. Responsible for assisting and fighting in person, Mary basically has no chance.

But in her heart, she still longs to be like Sadako and others, who can personally punish those bad guys who are misbehaving!

"The expected unfolding has finally appeared...can I defeat you?"

The belt appeared on "Ueya Inoue" at some point, and he took out the black pass from his pocket with a bright smile on his face.

"Well, your answers aren't important anyway."

Chapter 255 Just go ahead and do it

"Kaku" saw the transformation belt that appeared out of nowhere on Inoue Ueya's body, as if he knew something, his pupils shrank, and he felt a little more fearful.

"Ghost! Still directly in front of you, two steps away, attack immediately!"

After all, the two monsters have been partners for hundreds of years, so they still have a tacit understanding. The ghost guessed the seriousness of the situation as soon as he heard "Kaku"'s panicked tone, so he didn't dare to neglect, and just followed the instructions. Fang pounced on the seemingly empty place.

The bloody mouth from behind was getting closer and closer to "Inoue Ueya", as if it could swallow him up in the next second, but Inoue Ueya did not waver at all, and the black pass in his hand continued to sweep towards his belt.

[Gun Form]

A purple light ball surrounded Inoue Ueya, and the ghost that rushed over hit the light ball directly, and was then blown away by the power that burst out when it transformed.

Then the armor parts covered his body, and the fear that erased his sense of existence was removed by Mary. The purple knight appeared in front of the two monsters, but this time Mary herself was responsible for the battle.

"Onii-chan, watch carefully, my first battle!"

Mary wanted to prove to Inoue Ueya that she had the ability to stand on her own, so as to eliminate the concerns of everyone in the family about her participation in the battle. Even if she needed to fight alone, she had enough ability to deal with the enemy, and she was never a burden!

Inoue Ueya thought about it. After all, everyone needs to go through trials to grow up, and Mary is no exception. Instead of treating her like a child and overprotecting her, it is better to give her the opportunity to try to practice her own ideas. As a family member, I should now silently support her behind the scenes.

[… I understand. Since you have made up your mind to participate in the battle, just let it go! ]

Seeing the purple knight in front of him who took the initiative to remove the concealment ability, the expression on "Jue"'s face instantly became ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Damn Den-O, in the end, you still failed to interrupt his transformation!"

That's right, at this time, "Jue" has already known the identity of Inoue Ueya through his mind-reading ability. The two demons had been beaten by Den-O who raided the base a few days ago, and they still had some psychological shadows, such as being pressed to the ground and beaten without the power to fight back.

Although "Jue" did not use the power of the Demon God at that time, the degree of strengthening it with the power of the Demon God was not as outrageous as that of the cadres breaking through the realm. After all, it was not good at fighting. The possession gained more targeted strengthening of ability. It was hard to say whether it could beat the Electric King under the possession.

"Tsk, I don't know what the red Electric King on Kidomaru's side is like. I didn't expect that a group of similar guys would come out to make trouble a few days later..."

As the boy transformed, the "fear" emanating from him also increased a lot, but it didn't mean anything. With the ability to read minds and the power of the Demon One Mouth that could devour everything, they should still have an absolute advantage on the battlefield, especially since it heard a favorable information from the boy's voice.

No, to be more precise, it should be the voice from "Mary". "Jue" knew that she had never participated in the battle. "Jue" also vaguely realized that the current Inoue Ueya had entered the state of possession, but for some reason, it could only read the voice of the existence named "Mary". It could even hear her talking to herself in her heart, as if she was talking to the original owner of the body. It was just that Inoue Ueya's thoughts were blocked by something, and it could not hear the entire content of the conversation.

However, the problem was not big. Since the existence that controlled the body was "Mary", the original owner's thoughts did not need to be paid attention to. "Jue" did not have time to think about anything. The enemy standing in front of him was a powerful enemy, and it had to focus on the battle.

"I really didn't expect that this guy was just a newcomer who had just entered the battlefield. This means that the opponent lacked practical experience. No matter how strong he was, it was not impossible for us to defeat him with our abilities."

That's right, this was the opponent's fatal weakness!

"Jue" stared at Inoue Ueya seriously, trying to find a flaw in the purple knight's voice, and then give corresponding instructions to let the ghost attack.

[This monster with strange perception ability seems to be a troublesome guy. It is better to take the initiative to deal with it. The opponent does not look like an agile monster. I just need to go behind it and use the assembled pistol to kill it. 】

That's it?

Hearing Mary's inner voice, "Jue" was stunned and opened his mouth.

No, is your battle plan so simple? At least think about what kind of attack you want to perform!

He didn't consider the process of action or the possibility of accidents at all, and wanted to go behind me to launch a surprise attack?

No, it should be said that this guy is really a newcomer. He actually thought of such a simple tactic in his mind. I just wonder how I should deal with the opponent's actions...

Just when "Jue" was madly complaining in his heart, Inoue Ueya on the field flashed and disappeared from his sight in an instant. Then he felt the cold barrel of the gun against the back of his head.

"At this moment, I am behind you."

"Jue" immediately looked embarrassed. This guy actually possesses the ability to move at high speed. Is this what he meant by "going around behind you"?

In fact, there is a serious flaw in the mind-reading ability of "Jue". Even if it can hear other people's thoughts, it hears one-sided information and needs to understand the meaning by itself. Its mind-reading ability can only hear the other person's current thoughts, rather than directly reading the memory. Once it encounters a guy with a simple thinking circuit, it is very likely that it will not be able to immediately determine the other person's action mode. Even if the ability is strengthened by the alien demon god, this flaw still exists.

"Well, it's easy to get rid of one."

Inoue Ueya nodded with satisfaction and slowly pulled the trigger of the assembled pistol.

The fear of death made "Jue" unable to remain calm and shouted for help: "Hey! If I, as a contractor, die, you should not be able to survive! Why are you still standing there, come out and save me!"

A sharp gunshot sounded, but "Jue" was not injured. At the critical moment, the alien demon god that was originally in its body ran out and blocked the bullet.

Chapter 256 Ant-Kidney Demon

The demon that came out of Jue looked a bit strange. The middle of the body was the dividing line, and the left and right sides were black and green. The green part on the right had a katydid shape, while the left was a black ant. Holding a shovel in his hand, he easily blocked the oncoming bullet.

Well, if the other party suddenly said "Sa, come and count your sins", it would be a bit incredible.

"Inoue Ueya" was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, pointed his finger at the Demon God in front of him, and said: "I know you! The Demon God with two similar individuals!"

The Ant Grasshopper Demon God looked in the direction of Inoue Ueya. Although he had already seen that the purple knight in front of him was not the one he knew, he couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "I have to say, I really have a connection with the gun-wielding Electric King..."

"Jue" who had released the possession state gasped unconsciously. The great fear between life and death made his heart beat violently. Although he escaped because of the Demon God's action, he still felt a little scared when he recalled that he almost became a dead soul under the gun of the purple knight.

Even in the past few hundred years, all the dangers that Jue had experienced were not as dangerous as this time. The thinking circuit that could not accurately read the voice of the heart, coupled with the speed that the opponent showed that was completely unable to react, even if Guiyikou was right next to him at that time, he might not have time to stop the opponent...

Although the number of enemies on the field increased, "Inoue Ueya" still did not feel the slightest fear. Unlike Long Taros, Mary did not have the ability to hypnotize humans. Although she was still very interested in street dance and had asked Sadako for relevant knowledge before, she found that she had no talent when she actually learned it. Even if she practiced secretly with a unwillingness to admit defeat, she still could not dance a smooth dance step.

In contrast, Mary also has many things that Long Taros does not have, such as teleportation and erasure of presence, which are her powers and are also very practical abilities on the battlefield.

"If the contracted monster is killed, the alien demon god will also disappear", did you just say that? ”

I saw "Inoue Ueya" disappear from the enemy's sight again, and the next second he appeared behind "Jue" and the Demon God, assembled a pistol and pointed it at the back of "Jue", and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The Ant Grasshopper Demon God reacted instantly, and thought to himself that it was not good. He quickly pushed "Jue" beside him away, relying on the powerful body of the Demon God to block the attack again. A spark splashed from the Demon God's body, and the powerful impact of the bullet made it stagger back several steps.

"Tsk, is this the power of the Electric King in the New World? Although I have heard of it a long time ago, this outrageous speed is really cheating..."

Then, the Ant Grasshopper Demon God raised the shovel in his hand and fought with the purple knight. His smooth movements seemed to see through Inoue Ueya's intentions. Every time he wanted to pull the trigger, the Demon God could always use the shovel in his hand to accurately interrupt his movements and continue to attack.

Although the pistol in the form of the Holy Lance is quite powerful, it is still somewhat difficult to face close combat, especially since Mary has never experienced actual combat and is no match for the experienced Ant-Kill Demon God.

Under the continuous attack of the Ant-Kill Demon God, Inoue Ueya was suppressed by the storm-like offensive, and his armor was scarred by the fierce battle.

"Well... although you have the ability to accelerate, no, more likely teleport or move in space, it is indeed a bit threatening to us, but during the time you fought with me, you did not use that ability again. If I am not mistaken, your ability should be the type that requires concentration to be used, right?"

The ghost next to him was not to be outdone. With the mouth as the dividing line, the upper and lower jaws of its head were completely separated. The upper part of the upper jaw floated in the air, and the lower jaw sank into the ground with the body, each attacking the position of the purple knight, trying to swallow Inoue Ueya whole in one bite.

"Don't underestimate me!"
