I, the young onmyoji

But this feeling is really like the elf-catching game I played in the past. It was a game where you could catch whatever elf you wanted, beat the elf if you didn’t want to be caught, and cripple the other person before catching him again. The game is very cruel and inhumane.

I seem to be doing something similar now.

Of course, compared to the harmful effects of elves and Shuten-douji, it is completely acceptable in my heart to catch Shuten-dōji to be my shikigami rather than catching an elf as my pet.

After taking a few breaths, he sat up and looked at the huge pit in front of him caused by the burst of spiritual energy.

Shuten Doji II is in the center of this pothole.

It's just that now the pit is full of smoke and dust, and the explosion of spiritual veins has opened up the surface, causing a large amount of dust to appear.

As the mountain breeze blows, the dust gradually disperses.

The situation in the pothole gradually appeared before Changran's eyes.

But he didn't see the fallen Shuten Doji as he imagined. Instead, he saw a huge black claw clenched into a fist.

"This is?"

Changran was a little confused, but at the same time he was alert. His hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to fight at any time.

Not seeing the fallen Shuten-dōji means that the other party was not defeated by him. He was not knocked down by the impact of the burst of spiritual veins. It is really an exaggeration. Are all big monsters monsters? ?So the question is, if Shuten-douji is intact, what should I do? Fighting is no longer possible. All the spells I have arranged in advance have been used, and my spiritual power has not been restored. There is absolutely no chance of winning against the opponent. Even if I can Neither can the Demon Slayer Sword.

While Chang Ran was thinking, the giant black claw in the center of the pit started to move.

Huge claws appear to have emerged from the ground and clenched into fists.

So the fist was slowly opened upward.

What appeared in the center of the fist was none other than Shuten Doji II, and just as Changran had feared, he was intact!

"Hey, hey, this is really what you want. This is very troublesome. I could pretend to be cool before, but now I really don't have the conditions to show off."

Changran began to retreat slowly, because it was obviously not wise to continue fighting. Changran planned to shift his strategy and then find a way to deal with Shuten Doji.

However, there are others who are unwilling to let Changran leave.

"What, Onmyoji, do you want to leave?"

The voice came from Changran's back, and it was very cold.

But in front of Changran, he did see Shuten Doji standing in the center of the pothole, between the black claws.

So, who is behind you? !

Holding the handle of the knife tightly at his waist, Chang Ran was about to turn around and chop off the opponent directly. Although he didn't know who the opponent was, he was definitely an enemy, because the opponent was unleashing murderous intent on him without concealment, and besides the murderous intent, There is also a very scary ghost energy, and the other party is also a ghost!

"Hey, what happened just now!"

In the middle of the pothole, Shuten Doji suddenly shouted.

"Minamoto Yorimitsu, what did you just do? It hurt me a lot! My whole body hurts!"

But aren't you fine now?

Changran resisted the desire to complain and focused most of his attention behind him.

"And this claw... Where did it come from? It suddenly appeared and grabbed me. But thanks to it, I only felt pain for a short while and then I was fine again. But it almost crushed me to death. ah!"

Shuten Doji II jumped off the paw, kicked the paw after landing, and then the paw retracted into the ground and disappeared.

Was he saved by the ghost behind him?

Shoran deduced this based on Shuten Doji II's words.

According to Shuten-Douji II, this claw is not Shuten-Douji's own ability, so it can only be used by others. It suddenly appears to catch Shuten-Douji to prevent him from receiving the strong impact of the spiritual pulse burst, reducing the risk of injury. The damage sustained.

Then, the ghost behind him must be super powerful!Because not all ghosts can withstand the impact of the burst of spiritual veins, not even Shuten-douji can withstand it, but the ability of the ghost behind him can withstand it. Is there any ghost stronger than Shuten-douji? !

Changran couldn't help but sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Hey! The guy above, did you make this claw?"

Shuten Doji II also discovered the ghost behind Chang Ran and asked directly and loudly.

"That's right!"

The ghost behind finally spoke again.

"My friend! It's me..."

Take advantage of now!Strike first to gain the upper hand!

Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's attention should be on Shuten Doji, Chang Ran quickly drew his sword and turned around to slash at the ghost standing behind him.

But the blade stopped in mid-air, because after turning around, the blade was tightly grasped by the opponent.

He was struck by a ferocious left hand, a left hand covered in black flames.

One arm, one horn, a ferocious smile, and a tall body.

This was the ghost Chang Ran turned around to face.

This appearance was connected in Changran's mind with a certain existence in his memory.

Think back to the huge black claw in the middle of the pothole just now.

Changran finally thought of the identity of this ghost.

"Ibaraki Doji!"

"Really? Are you using this sword now? In other words, are you the successor of my old enemy?"

"And you're still holding that knife?"

"And you want to kill my best friend again, Onmyoji, you have a big heart!"

Because of nervousness, the sword that Chang Ran slashed with was an Onikiri, not a Dojiri. He was recognized immediately after being caught by the other party.

Ibaraki Doji is a member of the Oni clan. He is called the Rashomon Oni. He was the Oni whose right arm was cut off by Watanabe Tsuna using Onikiri. He is said to be the king of the Oeyama Oni clan, Shuten Doji. subordinate, but he is actually on the same level as Shuten Douji.

Because this powerful ghost energy cannot be faked, nor can the huge claws emerging from the ground, the power that easily captures Onikiri, can be faked.

In other words, Changran faced two big monsters this time.

Changran was about to burst into tears. What was it like to face two big monsters at once, and he finally tried his best to kill one big monster, only to be saved by the other one.In this way, I have no remaining strength to deal with two complete monsters.

Chang Ran felt so miserable in his heart.

"Even though I say that, I still want to struggle..."

hiss-

The sound of tearing was heard.

It wasn't the clothes that were torn to pieces, but Changran's right hand that was torn off.

Changran's eyes were full of panic. Looking at the arm Ibaraki Doji was holding on his left hand, he could only describe it as panic, followed by severe pain, very severe pain.

The right hand that was completely severed belonged to me! ?

His right hand is gone?Got ripped off?

The stimulation of pain finally slowly outweighed the panic caused by losing his arm.

What followed was a wail of unbearable pain.

"Wow!!!!"

Holding his right shoulder, Changran rolled to the ground. The pain made Changran's body shrink into a ball.

Straightening, clenching hard, and then shrinking back, flipping back and forth like a shrimp, this is Changran's situation at this time.

"Lord Changran! Lord Changran!"

Yingcao, who had never seen such a scene, yelled in panic, and quickly increased her treatment to stop Changran's bleeding, but unfortunately, the wound was at the root of the entire right arm, and the amount of bleeding was too large. Yingcao alone could Grass cannot be cured at all.

Standing in front of the tumbling Changran, Ibaraki Doji looked on coldly.

Then his left hand trembled slightly, and black flames emerged, burning the arm he was holding, turning it into a pile of charcoal and crushing it directly.

Onikiri fell from it and stuck on the ground that was already covered with Changran's blood.

"This sword cut off my right arm. This time, I will cut off your right arm as the successor of this sword."

Just like venting his anger, Ibaraki Douji no longer cares about Changran after saying such words.

In this era, the wounds are so big that humans cannot survive. Even the Onmyoji cannot survive without spiritual power.

Therefore, in Ibaraki Doji's eyes, Changran was already a dead person. As for the healing firefly on his chest, it was completely unable to attract Ibaraki Doji's attention.

Stepping over Changran who was wailing on the ground, Ibaraki Doji walked towards the huge hole caused by the burst of spiritual veins.

There, Shuten-douji II was looking at Ibaraki-douji in surprise.

Because he was shocked by what Ibaraki Doji did.

The knowledge he already possessed allowed him to know that this Ibaraki boy was his kind, a ghost, and also a big monster. But how can I put it, this kind of person tore off the right hand of the 'Minamoto Yorimitsu' as soon as he came up, which was really a bit strange. So fierce.

And what did he just say, kill his best friend?

Shuten Doji II thought that 'Minamoto no Yorimitsu' had killed other ghosts, but he didn't think of himself at all.

"Brother, you are really powerful. You actually killed that brat directly. He was running around here and there before. I was almost bored to death."

Although he didn't know who this kindred was, Shuten Doji II was certain of one thing, that was, this kindred was here to help him kill 'Minamoto norimitsu'.

This is something worth being happy about.

"My friend! Finally we meet again!"

However, Ibaraki Doji's enthusiasm exceeded Shuten Doji II's imagination.

He jumped down the pit with a smile, and gave Shuten Douji II a one-handed bear hug, knocking Ibaraki Douji back several steps before he stabilized.

"Huh? My friend?"

Shuten-douji II was a little confused by Ibaraki-douji's words.

What's going on? When did I become this guy's friend? Isn't it just the first time I met him? Could it be that he recognized the wrong person?

"Then, brother, you may admit your mistake..."

However, Shuten Douji II, who wanted to remind the other party, was interrupted by Ibaraki Douji's words.

Patting Shuten-dōji II on the back with his left hand, Ibaraki-dōji burst into tears.

"My friend! Do you know how boring my life is when you are gone?"

"Ah...this..."

"No one is drinking with me, no one is partying with me, I can only wander around alone, aimlessly."

"I didn't expect that my friend you would be resurrected! It's so great! It's so great!"

As Ibaraki Doji spoke excitedly, he kept patting Shuten Doji II on the back with his left hand. The scene was extremely embarrassing for a time.

Shuten Douji II was a little overwhelmed by Ibaraki Douji's enthusiasm. It was the first time he met such a gay guy of the same kind. This made him speechless, so he planned to find a topic to distract the other person. attention.

"Well, brother, don't get excited. Even though you say so, I still have to kill that guy Minamoto Yorimitsu."

"Minamoto Yorimitsu? Oh, the guy who once chopped off your head."

"Yes, yes."

Shuten Doji II was happy that he had successfully diverted his attention.

"Didn't that guy just have his right hand torn off by you?"

"My right hand was torn off?"

Ibaraki Doji was surprised.

"Are you talking about the Onmyoji above? He is not Minamoto Yorimitsu."

"Huh? No?!"

Shuten Doji II was stunned.

"Could it be that I recognized the wrong person?"

"Go and have a look."

The two... oh no, the two ghosts walked out of the pit together and came to the place where Chang Ran fell, but found that there was nothing on the ground except a pool of blood.

Ibaraki Doji raised his head and looked at Fukuchiyama in the distance, opposite Mount Oe.
