A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 238 The Mysterious Banshee

The fire grew brighter, and for a while, roars, howls, and explosions could be heard in the originally extremely quiet underground cave. At the same time, wisps of power from heaven and earth continued to merge into Asai Nagamasa's body.

He was sure right away that there were indeed countless giant bloodthirsty bats in the cave, and they were no longer ordinary animals, so his ability to kill gained power.

After such a long time, he has already understood that the special law that exists in him is not a simple killing, but more like some kind of strange purification. Only after defeating monsters and the like can he have such obvious gains. If the target is changed, If you become an ordinary human or animal, there will be no such increase in mana at all.

Although as the flames became more and more intense, the cries in the underground cave became more and more noisy, but there were not many monsters who could escape from the sky. Asai Nagamasa just felt the power of the guardian spirit suspected to be a yata bird, It is rising steadily and firmly, and it is obvious that the flames in the cave are replenishing its strength.

At this moment, an unprecedented sharp scream was heard. First, there was a blast of demonic wind that covered the sky for hundreds of meters in radius. Then, a black shadow with blazing flames emerged from the cave. Got out.

Although the opponent's figure was extremely fast, Asai Nagamasa clearly saw the opponent's complete appearance.

Just like Suzuki Akane said, the other party looks like a gorgeous woman with wings on her back.

It's just that she was in a bit of a mess at the moment. Not only was part of her clothes burned, but even the feathers on her back smelled of burning.

He couldn't help narrowing his eyes immediately, the other party was neither a Flying Demon nor a Bat Demon, but more like a crow tengu who practiced some evil spells.

It's just that most crow tengu have ugly long noses, and most of them are only seen by men. It is rare for a woman to be so beautiful.

Although with his current strength, even in Abe Seimei's era, he could be called the world-famous Onmyoji, he still cannot be too reckless and needs to be tested.

Although the female monster moved extremely quickly, within a few meters of her flying, a large group of paper doll soldiers holding halberds had already raised their weapons and stabbed at her.

Green, mixed with a slight fishy smell, and obviously highly toxic blood flowed out immediately. The halberds that had injured the opponent were immediately corroded, and then quickly disappeared with the wind.

But this was not over yet. The injured banshee was obviously a little angry. She first glared at the surrounding paper figures with a pair of blood-red eyes, and then clapped her hands together. The invisible air waves quickly gathered and formed, and with the "waves" "With a soft sound, dozens of paper figures around him were immediately shattered into pieces and turned into paper scraps falling all over the ground.

Asai Nagamasa became more energetic. Although he had always looked down on the paper man's combat power, in fact, thanks to his current powerful power, everything he handled, even if it was just a mass-produced paper man, How could it be really weak?
Being able to shatter them into such a shape, the power of the opponent's move has far surpassed the ordinary big tube, and it is even not inferior to the cannon presented by the Argot Chamber of Commerce, and it is even better in that the move is extremely fast.

But after seeing the signs of the other party's wound, he had more doubts in his heart, because the blood of the real Crow Tengu would not be green, nor would it be so corrosive.

The banshee, who killed dozens of paper soldiers in one fell swoop, waved her claws several times in the air and made an intimidating gesture, as if she wanted to temporarily push back the besieging enemies.

However, as the lowest level of shikigami, the paper figures do not feel any pain or fear at all. They just follow the orders given by Asai Nagamasa and silently encircle and suppress her.

This immediately made the banshee very angry. Unable to intimidate her, she immediately launched a ferocious attack, which also made them more clearly aware of her fighting power.

Whether it is the long blood-red sharp claws or a pair of long legs, it is as heavy as a stone when it falls on the paper man. It can be completely destroyed easily and cannot even be recycled. It is indeed a trouble for Zahe City. A great demon who has been there for decades and has ambitions for Yatagarasu and Yatagaki.

Akane Suzuki, who was next to her, was extremely surprised. She had seen the strength of these golden-armored paper figurines guarding the crack in Inabayama Castle before, and she might not be much weaker than ordinary samurai.

Especially when they formed a neat formation and maintained a completely consistent rhythm of attack and defense, their power was even more astonishing. Occasionally there would be little monsters jumping out of the cracks, but they would be easily killed by them in just three or two breaths.

But in the opponent's hands, they were broken as easily as branches. The power of this banshee seems to be much stronger than what was previously detected by our family!
Ii Naotora beside her was also surprised, because even though the opponent was carrying out a massacre, the attack posture looked very graceful, and behind this gracefulness, there were claws, elbows, knees and whip legs. All fully utilized, extremely superb close combat techniques.

And for some reason, she always felt that the opponent's moves seemed to be similar to the martial arts she learned from her teacher, if she could compete with them.
Thinking of this, it seemed that even the flames on Ii Naotora's body were a little more surging, just like the proud fighting spirit in her heart at this time.

Asai Nagamasa also quickly discovered this. He looked at the other party with some confusion, and then at Ii Naotora. Things began to become more and more complicated.

He had almost never seen this kind of smooth martial arts in any warrior in Nibon.

Although compared to the Cathay Empire on the opposite side of the sea, Nippeng is considered to be narrow in land and thin in resources, and the scale of the war is usually not particularly large.

However, the frequency of battles and the intensity of small-scale battles here are definitely not low. This has led to many Nippon warriors only focusing on being fast, accurate, and ruthless when fighting.

Let you have many tricks, I just slash it, you can either dodge, parry, or just stand there waiting to die, there is no other possibility, and they will not study too many fancy techniques.

But the monster in front of her is completely different. She is obviously a formidable enemy who is really good at martial arts, not to mention monsters, even among Ni Peng's humans, there will definitely not be a few of them.

However, if the opponent is not a native of Nibon, but a crow banshee from the Cathay Empire, and has some special experiences, it can roughly explain many of the unreasonable things about her.
Another whip kick swept the five or six besieged paper figures into crumbs on the spot. When the opponent opened his mouth, he spoke in extremely pure Sinian dialect: "You are so small-minded, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, two sharp canine teeth came into view. At the same time, an extremely strong smell of corpses and blood also hit their faces, like old age soaked and fermented in plasma. Corpse-like.

Even though they were tens of meters apart, Ii Naotora and Suzuki Akane couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses and step back. At the same time, they felt a little confused and didn't know what the other person was talking about.

Although Jingyi Naotora has learned the Sintan dialect, but the other party is full of words, it is still too difficult for her.

As for Suzuki Akane, she was even more confused. Apart from Nibon, she had only learned some Nanman languages ​​in order to deal with the Nanman people in Jie Town, but she really didn't understand the Sinian language at all.

On the contrary, Asai Nagamasa became calmer and calmer. He had roughly figured out the details of the other party, but now he was still not sure about some details.

Although most of the enemies he has encountered so far are very native to Nibon, there has never been more than one country in the world: Nibon. In the Cathay Empire across the sea, there is a jade blood race that looks like a bat demon.

They are roughly equivalent to the vampires in various Western fantasy novels and games. They look like bats and become demons. They can perform various magics and develop descendants through first embrace and other methods. They are also afraid of sunlight and thunder, etc.

That's why before the other party appeared, she worked hard to create a dirty cloud in the sky, and bound it with magic power to keep it there.

If we want to say that the biggest difference between the Jade Blood Tribe and conventional vampires, it is probably that the green blood flows in their bodies and is extremely corrosive. This is the most important reason why they are called the Jade Blood Tribe.

There is no doubt that the enemy in front of him is not human in the first place, but he is not very clear yet. Is the opponent already like this before coming to Nibon, or was he transformed into a vampire after coming to Nibon?
This will be a huge difference between Niben and myself.

Although his mind was racing, his actions were not affected at all on the surface. He glanced at Ii Naotora who was eager to try, and he stretched out his hand directly: "Since my shikigami is not your opponent, why not try hers?" How are your martial arts skills?"

Jing Yi Naotora was suddenly surprised and happy, happy that she was valued so much by His Royal Highness Nagamasa, but surprised that she was very self-aware, with her current strength, I am afraid that she would not be able to last a few rounds in the opponent's hands!

But at this moment, she only saw a little fire coming to her body, and then she suddenly felt a hot fire rising from inside her body, quickly spreading to her whole body, followed by an extremely passionate female voice. : "I am Yanhu, so I will give you all my power!"

Unprecedentedly blazing flames rose up, forming a complex and extremely gorgeous flame armor, covering Ii Naotora's entire body. At the same time, she felt that her strength and agility had suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. improvement.

Is this, is this a gift given to yourself by Lord Nagamasa?I like it so much!

Looking at Ii Naotora who was wrapped in the flame armor, Asai Nagamasa also nodded with satisfaction.

After following him for so long, Flame Tiger has absorbed a lot of energy. Coupled with Ii Naotora, the person who is most compatible with it, he will immediately have a very good combat power.

But compared to their good mood, the banshee, who was still surrounded by many paper figurines, suddenly became a little confused.

In addition to the man's strength that she couldn't figure out, the two women seemed to her to be extremely weak. But why did they suddenly become so powerful?Can it even bring a strong threat to yourself?

But in an instant, the violent and bloodthirsty aura in her heart had quickly eroded her thoughts and suppressed her rationality. She stretched out her snake-like long black and red tongue and licked her paws, looking straight at the other party's snow-white neck: "Virgin's blood? That's fine, let's have a pure martial arts showdown!"

Before she finished speaking, she had launched a surprise attack. She swept past the dense formation of paper figurines like the wind, and charged straight at Jingyi Naotora. The speed was so fast that even the paper figurines couldn't react in time.

Obviously, although she has shown considerable strength before, what she had before was not her limit!

"Hey hey?"

Ii Naotora was immediately startled by the opponent's surprise attack, but the rich experience of practicing martial arts and sparring with her master for more than ten years still made her instinctively stretch out her arms to block the opponent's attack.

"boom!"

With a crisp impact sound, several small holes were pierced through the flame armor covering Jingyi Naotora's body.

But soon, the flames from other places took the initiative to converge on the damaged area, and completely repaired it almost in the blink of an eye. However, the overall light of the armor was inevitably dimmed. Although it had the ability to self-repair ability, but the total amount of energy remains unchanged.

Ii Naotora, who thought it would be very painful, was suddenly more and more pleasantly surprised. This suit of armor that fit perfectly was not only very light, but also had such strong protective capabilities.

Coupled with the power of the flame tiger entrusted to him by Nagamasa-sama, what if the enemy is a big demon who looks very powerful?I can't embarrass adults!

She immediately let out a squeak, swung her fist and attacked the enemy in front of her. Just like His Highness said before, today is my first battle with Ii Naotora!

The banshee immediately waved her claws and launched a counterattack without hesitation. The sound of "bang bang" was heard for a while, and it seemed that they were evenly matched in a short period of time.

However, unlike ordinary samurai's fierce and bloody battles, the two of them fighting were very pleasing to the eye.

If Ii Naotora is an agile female tiger, then her opponent is a vigorous falcon, and there seems to be some strange rhythm in every move and every move.

Jingyi Naotora soon became more and more excited to fight. Since she learned this set of moves, she has never performed it as hard as she is now, and some doubts she had had are quickly integrated.

Before that, even if she was sparring with the teacher, she would subconsciously restrain her strength so as not to hurt the opponent, but now that the opponent is a legendary monster, she doesn't need to hold back at all!But unlike the excited Naotora Ii, her opponent felt very bad, and even became more irritable as she fought.

Because every attack with her claws was almost in vain. Even if it penetrated the opponent's flame armor, it could not penetrate the seemingly thin scales on the opponent's body. However, every time she was attacked, she would have a part of her body that emitted... The burning smell, this is the flame she hates the most!
Nagamasa Asai, who was watching the battle, was also very surprised. Although he had paid more attention to Naotora Ii more than once, he still could not imagine that she could actually achieve visible improvement in such an actual battle.

And he finally understood why the Flame Tiger favored her so much, because she really had a strong fighting spirit. When the fighting spirit was burning, the Flame Tiger in her body could also exert its fullest potential. Power, and energy is constantly being replenished.

Although it is called Flame Tiger, its power is not only flames, but also this mysterious and mysterious fighting spirit.

If given time, she can master this power more skillfully, the energy in her body will probably be endless as long as she is in such a fierce battle!

But he had led her to fight the Aoki and his ilk in Inabayama Castle before, so why didn't he see her like this?

Is it possible that she would have such a strong will to fight only in battles that were equally matched or even challenging enough?

After the fierce battle continued for another half-quarter of an hour, the banshee finally couldn't bear it anymore. She raised her hand and made a special movement: "Ahhhh, damn human beings, go to hell!"

Even though the fight was extremely exciting, Ii Naotora couldn't help but feel nervous after seeing this action, because it was this move that destroyed dozens of His Highness Nagamasa's golden-armored warriors in one fell swoop before!

But Nagamasa Asai, who was on the side, certainly would not sit idly by. The reason why he allowed Naotora Ii to challenge the banshee was because he was using the opponent as a touchstone, but he did not want her to be harmed.

He made a magic formula with his left hand and pointed at the sky. He saw a gust of wind blowing past. The dirty clouds that had covered the sky suddenly disappeared, and the sunlight shone directly down.

The banshee suddenly let out an extremely tragic cry, and the move she had prepared was instantly broken. At the same time, large areas of blisters burned by the flames rose on her skin, and then streaks of gray-black, ominous smoke also gradually rose. It looked as if her entire body was melting.

Although the sun is weak, it is its natural nemesis, and it is even far more powerful than the flames that Ii Naotora emitted just now.

The banshee immediately wailed, turned around and wanted to run towards the entrance of the cave, but Asai Nagamasa, who had already been prepared, certainly would not just let it go. The white tiger had already blocked it there silently.

Asai Nagamasa stretched out his hand again, and the banshee's legs were directly grasped by the hands of the rock rising from the ground. Caught off guard, she immediately grabbed the ground with her head and fell directly to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed. .

A group of paper figures around him suddenly swarmed up and surrounded him. At the same time, many of their weapons were connected together, and they barely formed a small tent, giving the opponent a chance to breathe.

Asai Nagamasa finally said calmly: "Okay, I think we can have a good talk now."

Although this banshee looks very fierce, with his current strength, it won't take much effort to kill the opponent. The reason why he let her live for a while longer was not only to give Ii Naotora a chance, What's more, he does have many questions to ask the other party.

After several more breaths, the banshee struggled to get up. Asai Nagamasa originally thought that the other party's first words would be begging for mercy or scolding, but he never expected that the other party was not like this.

"Well, at least now I can die as a conscious Crowfeather Assassin."

Upon hearing this, Asai Nagamasa immediately understood: "Have you regained your consciousness?"

Although the other party didn't look stupid before, he seemed to be driven by bloodthirsty impulses, so he would inevitably make some obvious mistakes. But now, even if life and death depend on his thoughts, the other party's tone is very calm.

And the special term Crowfeather Assassin doesn’t seem to be that simple.
Although he was speaking very standard Sinian at this moment, the other party did not answer him directly, but still lowered his head, letting his long hair, which was unkempt, covered with oil and blood stains, cover his face.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I came across the sea from the Cathay Empire to capture the followers of the demon god Tzeentch, but I was attacked by the rebellious Jade Blood Clan."

"Although they are all dead, I myself have turned into something neither human nor ghost, and even swallowed the blood of dozens of people. How can I face the Queen of the Moon and all my sisters?"

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this. Although the other party only spoke a few words, the information revealed was extraordinary.

The Dragon Emperor and the Moon Queen, these two couples were the eternal rulers of the Cathay Empire for more than 8000 years, and according to the information he knew, the other party's true age was actually much higher than this number.

Although they are dragons and not gods, most of the gods are far less powerful than them.

The Dragon Emperor built the Northern Great Wall and filled it with giant terracotta warriors to resist the Chaos army in the north of Cathay. His wife Yue Hou formed an extremely mysterious army of arakkoa assassins composed purely of women, specifically responsible for Fight against the humans affected by the four evil gods of chaos and other evil forces.

There have always been different opinions about the true identity of the arakkoa people:

Some people say that they are just dressed as arakkoa, wearing boots carved with sharp claws, carrying handmade wings, and using tools to glide;

Some people say that they were originally ugly beastmen like harpies, but were just tamed by the Moon Queen;

Some people also say that they are actually a powerful race, and their name is called the Ya people. Like the monkey people in the south of Cathay, they are attracted by power or wealth, so they will serve the Queen of the Moon.

Now it seems that the last one may be the closest to the truth, that is, it is not known whether there is any mysterious connection between these arakkoa people and the local crows and tengu in Nibon.

Looking at the banshee who was sitting sideways and suddenly became silent, Asai Nagamasa suddenly felt that she understood the other party's intentions. She probably just wanted to die happily now.

After all, for an arakkoa assassin who devotes her life to fighting evil, whether she becomes a jade blood clan or swallows human blood, it is absolutely an unforgivable sin for her.

He couldn't help but sigh. Unfortunately, in this cruel world, strength is always indispensable. If she could become stronger, she might have been able to control her own destiny.

"What last wish do you have?"

Upon hearing these words, the originally silent Crow Man finally reacted: "The last wish? Of course it is to kill all the demons in the world, and even march into the Demon Realm to defeat the Four Gods of Chaos!"

"Oh, what a great ambition."

Even Nagamasa Asai couldn't help but look sideways for a while, he was just a mere Arakkoa assassin, he really dared to talk big.

If it weren't for the existence of some special barrier in the world, which made it more difficult for the more powerful Chaos Demons to come to the world, without the gods taking action, the Blood God Khorne would have only used one percent of his army to defeat all of them. Enough to slaughter the entire mortal world.

As if he heard the sarcasm in Asai Nagamasa's words, Yaren couldn't help but speak again: "Do you think I'm just like this? When I was alive, I was best at swordsmanship!"

Although the Jade Blood Tribe can move and think, their hearts no longer beat and their blood no longer flows. They are just dead creatures, so they cannot use many of the special powers that humans can use.

What's more, when she killed the two powerful enemies, she also suffered a counterattack from them, so she went crazy and stayed in this dark, filthy underground cave for decades, just to take it, etc. !
Suddenly, something seemed to ring out from the Crow Man, and she quickly said: "There is a special elf in the cave below. If you can get its recognition, maybe you can get good power!"

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but admire her more and more: "At this point, are you still willing to remind me?"

The Raven Man sighed: "Although I didn't kill the people of Cathay, but anyway, after all, I have committed some crimes, and I have no ability to repay, so no matter who you are, if you can get it, go to crusade against more people." The many demons can somewhat make up for my mistakes."

"I can only repay Queen Moon's kindness in the next life."

Asai Nagamasa thought, and immediately chuckled: "Haha, the next life? But the Netherworld is in chaos, where will you go?"

The Raven Man was shocked immediately: "How do you know Nether?"

Although she only said half of it before she remained silent, this had completely confirmed a certain conjecture that Asai Nagamasa had.

The Dragon Emperor and the Moon Queen had indeed known about the drastic changes in the ghosts and gods in the Netherworld for a long time. How much did the divine wind surrounding Nibon and the sudden disappearance of 800 million gods have anything to do with them?

More importantly, how much do they know about the future of this world, and how much effort have they made towards it?
Asai Nagamasa raised his head and glanced at the sky as clear as the sea. Legend has it that the Dragon Emperor and the Moon Queen do not live on the ground, but live high in the heavenly palace. Will their vision become far-sighted enough because of this?

Shaking his head lightly, he withdrew his scattered thoughts, no matter what, he couldn't completely rely on others for anything.

"Haha, very good, now I have a new proposal, which will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, and even apologize to your Queen in person, but the price is your eternal allegiance to me, how about it?"

Although there are still many disputes in the world about whether vampires have souls, one thing is extremely certain, that is, vampires can be resurrected and still retain their wisdom, memory and even strength during their lifetime. .

If you add your own yin and yang skills, you may be able to get a new subordinate, but the premise is that the other party is willing and must remain loyal to you.

This requires a little more trickery.

The Crow Man subconsciously wanted to refuse. Even if it came to this point, she would not turn to others. Her loyalty has always belonged to the Moon Queen, the Dragon Emperor, and all the Dragonborn, even ordinary Dragonborn. Don't even think about gaining the allegiance of the arakkoa assassins easily.

But the next moment, she suddenly felt a not completely unfamiliar aura, which came here very unexpectedly, and she was suddenly surprised and happy.

As soon as she looked up, she saw a pair of bright yellow vertical pupils full of endless majesty and wisdom, as well as the fleeting shadow behind the other party.

Such pure majesty and power, is it one of the mysterious dragon sons who once lived outside Cathay?It is said that four dragon sons mysteriously disappeared. Which one did the other party belong to?

However, in fact, that is no longer important. What is important is that I can indeed be loyal to him without reservation!

"Yes, I am willing!"
