Sun in the Star Iron, my marshal mother

[But you forget that when a drop of water falls, dark clouds may have already accumulated in the sky. ]

【The evening rain will eventually fall. 】

【Heavy rain is coming.】

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

As always, Lin En sat on the edge of the shrine roof and played the leaf flute. The music was not very beautiful, but it was melodious.

The originally well-behaved and lovely witch had long been led astray by Lin En, and had done something that was not at all dignified, such as climbing onto the roof and sitting on the edge of the eaves.

The girl's shrine maiden skirt is very long, with only half of her white and tender calves exposed, vaguely showing the youthful and tender calf curves, which attracts people's attention.

Sitting less than half an arm's length away from Lin En, Mei felt a little confused when she heard his words and couldn't help but look up at the dark night sky.

"You can't even see the moon, how can you say the moonlight is so beautiful?"

"At this time, you should say that the wind is also gentle."

Mei's straightforward remarks made Lin En feel ashamed in his heart, but at this moment he suddenly frowned slightly and turned to look at the bluestone steps under the torii that spiraled up from the foot of the mountain.

"what happened?"

"somebody is coming."

After giving a straightforward answer, Lin En grabbed Huang Quan's arm and pulled her into the gap, then "teleported" smoothly to the torii gate.

As expected, a few moments later, a thin boy ran up, panting. There were many marks on his body from falling or being scratched by branches. Even though he was already out of breath, he still managed to shout:

"Thunder Witch, the village, the village has been attacked by bandits!"

"what!"

Although no villagers came to worship the gods after the decline of Narukami Taisha, and she was not a shrine maiden from Wangchuan Village, she could not stand idly by when seeing innocent people suffer.

This is true even if she doesn't have that much power.

Without hesitation, Mei turned around and walked quickly into the shrine hall, taking the thunder-purple sword from the mouth of the giant snake statue.

The name of the sword is "Thunder", and it is said that it was made from a piece of snake scale that fell when "Takemikaze Thunder God" crashed into the sky on the day of the great disaster. It is powerful enough to easily cut ordinary iron and kill evil beasts.

When Mei tied up her long hair and walked out of the shrine with a thunderbolt on her waist, she found Lin En leaning against the torii gate with his arms folded, sighing leisurely:

"There is no moonlight tonight, and I know something is wrong."

The worry and nervousness were dissipated, and Mei shook her head helplessly and smiled:

"That wasn't what you meant when you said the moonlight was beautiful just now... Let's go and save everyone."

"Give me your hand, so we can get on the road faster."

Lin En casually created a gap, then turned around and extended his hand to Mei.

The latter held Lin En's hand without any hesitation and walked with him into the terrifying gap full of scarlet eyes.

[God has given you blood, which, in the name of [memory], can reach the end of the universe and walk in the gaps.]

[In front of the gap monster, the end of the world is just a stone's throw away. 】

[In just a moment, you and Mei appeared in front of Arakawa Village at the foot of the mountain. However, this time, Mei no longer had the leisure to sigh at the convenience of the gap monster's ability - the once peaceful and warm village at the foot of the mountain was now completely engulfed by blood and fire.]

[The flames burned the corpses and houses, and the air was filled with the crazy smell of blood and death. A group of bandits who should be called beasts rather than humans created all this.]

[You and Mei look at each other, and you can both see the indignation in each other's eyes. ]

[“Be careful, there is a [ghost] smell.”]

[Mei reminded.]

[Although evil spirits are called the scourge of the world, it is also true that they can bring power beyond the mundane. ]

[The divine sword forged from the divine skeleton is enough to compete with the gods in protecting the world. Even if it contains a small part of the power, it can become a powerful fusion warrior. ]

[And [ghosts] are people who have been twisted and polluted by the power of evil spirits. ]

[Although the Izumo government has always paid attention to control and emphasized the harmfulness of the evil spirit's flesh and blood.

However, in the numerous wars, the flesh and blood of eight million evil gods were always seized by those with ulterior motives, or evil gods appeared secretly and were not discovered. Some people successfully absorbed their power, but more people fell into lust and pollution and became [ghosts].

[Mei holds the Thunder Gift in her hand, and there is a fine flash of lightning on the blade. She strikes with the sword decisively and sharply, and kills the bandit who discovered her in just a few rounds.]

[You are not armed, and you cannot use weapons against a group of robbers or the so-called [ghost].]

[You close your eyes and spread your mental power to take in the entire village's space within your perception.

Then, you fully unleashed the power of the gap for the first time in a long time, and in just a moment, you teleported all the bandits and villains to the square in the middle of the village. 】

[It's a pity that with your current strength, you can't use the gap to cut through space. Otherwise, you would have to turn into an approaching storm to show these villains what real power is.]

[The sudden change in space left all the robbers confused, until your impatient voice attracted their attention.]

【“Let’s go together. I’m in a hurry.”】

[Mei stands beside you, staring solemnly at the twenty or so enemies in front of her, especially the tall figure in the lead.]

[He has two evil horns on his head, his body is full of muscles, and his eyes are filled with madness and blood.]

[You reached out to stop Mei who wanted to block you. There was no need to let Mei fight against these guys. It would be ugly if her clothes or hair got dirty.]

"Let you villains be consumed by the fire of sin that you have ignited."

Lin En raised his right hand slightly and moved the countless faint spiritual light spots that only he could see.

“Spirituality gathers here!

Holy Red Eagle, I grant you life and form in the name of [Joy]!"

As Lin En finished his words, a red bird of prey with a wingspan of nearly ten meters emerged from the flames, and with anger it tore at the bandits with its sharp claws and beak, and burned them with flames. Except for the leader who had transformed into a [ghost], the other bandits had no power to resist, and could only be torn to pieces and burned amid miserable wails.

This holy skeleton of red eagle is not only formed by the spirituality of the fire element, but also a large part of it is the spiritual fragments of the villagers who just died tragically. Now that it is given life and form again by Lin En, it naturally wants to take revenge with fire.

While Lin En and Mei were watching the deceased's revenge on the murderer, the white-haired girl who had been sensing with her eyes closed a hundred miles away suddenly opened her eyes.

"Got you!"

Kiana pulled out the Sword of Heaven, which was once again bound by a pitch-black ribbon, and rushed into the preparation room anxiously.

"I found him."

Before the real knife-wielder could ask a question, Kiana had already answered:

"He used a very strong spatial force. I sensed the fluctuation of his power. I can't be wrong!"

"Okay, let's go."

The man carrying the huge blue blade stood up.

"I wonder what kind of power this fierce god holds, and what kind of divine sword can be forged from his divine remains..."

..............

"It's all thanks to you this time."

In front of Arakawa Village, under the peach leaves.

Mei placed the Raiki on her knees and carefully wiped the blood off the scabbard, thanking Lin En in a low voice:

"It would be very troublesome for me to deal with them alone."

"What the hell... We are all friends, why are you saying this?"

Lin En shrugged and said indifferently:

"If it really doesn't work, just treat it as my free rent for the time being. Otherwise, I'll be your gigolo."

As he spoke, Lin En stood up, as if he was half moved by his own qualities and said with emotion:

“You know, when I first started working, at least four aunties would hold my hands and ask me if I wanted to work 500 years less. But how could someone like me who has dreams and sentiments agree to that?

Alas, there are too few men like me who can make a living by relying on their looks but have to work hard on their own. "

"You city people...are really amazing."

The country girl Mei was shocked.

But the girl wasn't really stupid. After spending two months with Lin En, she could guess which of his words were serious and which were just for fun. But this didn't stop her from continuing to be that silly country girl for him.

It’s more interesting to get along like this.

Mei placed Lei Ci beside her, supported her face with her hands and raised her head to look at Lin En who was talking nonsense seriously about how he escaped from the Thirsty Aunt Alliance, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The peaceful days that have remained unchanged for seventeen years have been dyed with a different color.

"Dye...your color..."

The girl whispered in her heart.

[While you were chatting with Mei, the Holy Skeleton Red Eagle had already completely put out the fire in the village, and then after the spiritual gathering time reached its limit, it turned into spots of light all over the sky.]

[Like dancing fireflies, they embellish the dark night sky with a moment of brilliant starlight. ]

[The survivors all raised their heads solemnly to look at the slowly drifting fluorescent light, as if waiting for the light of their deceased relatives' souls to connect with the starry sky.]

[It’s a pity that they didn’t get to see this scene after all. ]

[A deep purple hole suddenly appeared in the sky, and a burning blue giant blade pierced out from it, piercing straight through the earth! ]

"!!!"

The moment before the familiar deep purple hole appeared, the gap demon's instinct reminded Lin En, allowing him to use the gap to instantly transfer himself, Mei and all the villagers to the shrine on the top of the mountain before the giant blade fell.

"boom--!"

Amidst the earthquake, the entire village at the foot of the mountain was completely crushed by the giant blade. The horrific cracks spread almost all the way to the middle of the mountain, causing the entire mountain to shake.

"what happened?"

Mei, who was holding your hand, had not yet recovered from the sudden attack. She stared in disbelief at the huge blue blade that was still stuck in the ground and was almost as high as the mountain.

She recognized the knife.

That is [true]. A hundred years ago, the Izumo Kingdom used this sword to kill the great disaster "Tsumukari God". The remains of "Tsumukari God" also upgraded this giant blade to the original "Imperial Sword".

But why, why would the imperial sword that protects the world appear there?

And it was used to kill them? ! !

"I found you, fierce god!"

Kiana also crossed the space and appeared above the shrine. Behind her stood a man with blue hair. As expected, he should be the knife-wielding [True].

Kiana was obviously shocked to find that there were so many people around Lin En, especially the purple-haired priestess who was holding a katana and glaring at her.

"this..."

"Will you still take hostages? He is indeed a fierce god with a certain level of rationality."

Such a bland analysis made Lin En shake his head and sigh:

"Are you stupid? If I hadn't taken action with your knife just now, they would have been crushed into dumpling stuffing."

After saying that, Lin En pointed at Kiana and asked loudly:

"Kiana, you keep saying that the man with the knife wanted to protect Izumo, but what did you protect? You made an entire village homeless and almost killed them!"

Kiana: “Huh?”

She was so busy locating Lin En's position that she didn't notice that there might be other things on the ground.

Rather, the question is why the evil spirit is with these villagers.

"Calm down, don't be tricked by the evil spirit!"

Really reminded me out loud.

"No, wait, what's going on?"

Seeing Lin En being called a fierce god by the two knife-wielding men, Mei was completely confused about what was going on and eagerly asked for answers.

Although Lin En wanted to explain what was going on, the knife-wielding man opposite him, who was called "Truth", did not give him a chance to explain.

"He can control so many people. It must be a power similar to the "Eight Consciousnesses" that controls consciousness."

Zhen ignored Mei's existence. In his eyes, everyone around Lin En had their consciousness controlled by him and they were just human-shaped puppets.

As the holder of the [Truth], he had already looked through the legal principles and could tell at a glance that Lin En was definitely not from Izumo.

Combined with Kiana's evidence, he is definitely the evil god from Takama-ga-hara!
