Samsara Paradise: Shadow King

Chapter 82 Before leaving (3600 words)

It was another rainy day, and the young man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat returned to the house located by the river again.

The door was violently broken open, and there was blood everywhere in the house. Many things fell to the ground. There were traces of fighting everywhere. It was a mess!

The first time he returned to this town, Zhao Zijin received bad news.

When they set off to Carikawa Castle to ambush Tomioka Giyu, Matsumoto Benkei's family was unfortunately selected as the target of "blood and flesh donation". Matsumoto Benkei's wife made a desperate attempt after begging the Oni Samurai to let her daughter go to no avail. They resisted and were killed on the spot, and their daughter was not spared.

After lifting up the fallen stool and sitting at the table, Zhao Zijin sighed leisurely:

"They're all dead!"

There was a dull pain in his back. It was the wound left by Inosuke Kihira's serrated blood-edged knife just before entering the river.

The weather here in "Water Domain" is not suitable for recuperating wounds. Zhao Zijin doesn't have much time to feel sad. Before setting off to the next domain, he wants to strengthen a few shadow soldiers.

The first is to use the knight-level Rabbit to strengthen the knight-level Tomioka Giyu. The panel of the former is almost a weakened version of the latter. Zhao Zijin hopes that after the strengthening, the two moves [Frost Cold Fall] and [Heavy Rain] can be retained. Tomioka Volunteerism can be used in subsequent battles.

It was a pity that this enhancement did not prompt Tomioka Yoshiyuki to complete the advancement, and Zhao Zijin immediately set his sights on the Frost Giant Bird.

【Afterimage Extraction】! Fusion! strengthen!

In the end, Tomioka Yoshiyuki’s strengthening results are as follows:

Tomioka Giyu (summon, elite knight level shadow)

Tomioka Giyu's image has also undergone some changes after strengthening. The main thing is that he wears a feather woven fabric outside the armor. When using the [Frost Wind Plunder] skill, this feather fabric will turn into wings that provide the ability to fly. .

Tomioka Yiyong can still accept the enhancement of an afterimage, and the shadow soldiers transformed by Shinji are also in his hands, but Zhao Zijin decided to keep them for the time being. Judging from the previous strengthening results, the afterimage of Qiong Rabbit can only strengthen Tomioka Giyu to a limited extent. Even if the afterimage is extracted from the weaker Maoshan, the improvement will probably be minimal.

Only when there is really no choice, he will never consider using this strengthening quota. Otherwise, he would rather spend more time to find a stronger and more suitable guy.

Among the four samurai generals of "Cho no Fan", except for Kanzaki Aoi, who was transformed into a knight, the other three are all elite-level shadow butterfly ghosts.

Zhao Zijin extracted the afterimages from them and distributed them to Butterfly Nin and Aoi in a ratio of 2:1.

Then, Zhao Zijin took out the treasure boxes dropped by Tomioka Giyu and Butterfly Ninja.

The equipment that is most suitable for the photo soldiers can often only be obtained from the treasure chests dropped by them. Tomioka Giyu and the three of them are Zhao Zijin's powerful means to kill the ghost warriors in this world. The appearance of Kubihira Inosuke made him realize that the three of them The strength is far from enough.

Introduction: The evil ghost named Matata never harmed his daughter Yae until his death! "Live" was the guy's only last words to his daughter!

Price: 4400 paradise coins.

[The Legacy of Matata] is a leather wristband. If Zhao Zijin remembers correctly, this "Matazo" is a character who appeared in "Tomioka Giyu: Gaiden". He is a hunter who turned into a ghost, but he has been trying his best to endure it. The ghost's instinct was not to attack his daughter, and he finally persisted until Tomioka Giyu came to kill him - the time was when he first met the Kamado siblings.

In fact, this jewelry is more suitable to be worn as a tank tote, but considering that in this world, we need to rely more on Tomioka Giyu and their attacks to suppress the recovery ability of the Oni Samurai, it was assigned to Tomioka Giyu first.

Zhao Zijin planned to keep the remaining treasure box on hand. If necessary, he wanted to exchange the treasure box for the corpse of the ghost lord killed by the other two hunters.

"Just a word of Inosuke makes me feel like I'm facing a formidable enemy. How strong is the strongest shogun Kamado Tanjiro?"

This is a secret passage, a secret passage that only two people know about in the entire Edo City.

If the two of them can still be considered "human".

It’s been a long time! The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time! He was used to sitting high up in the sun, and he really didn't like the deep and dark environment underground.

My nose smelled the unique smell of that guy, like a processed corpse, with an unpleasant herbal smell in the decay.

His footsteps stopped, and he said into the darkness in front of him:

"Tomioka Giyu is dead, Butterfly Ninja is dead, Chalcedony Tianyu is dead, and Immortal Kawa Saneya is dead."

"I warned you a long time ago, they will come one day!"

The being in the darkness said with a smile in his tone.

"Who are they and you?"

"I answered you this sentence a long time ago! When I am qualified to obtain that thing and you and I are separated from our established destiny, I will tell you everything you want to know!"

He was silent for a while, then spoke again, telling all the information he had collected about the three hunters, hoping to get advice from the being in the darkness:

"There are three of them. They are the Onmyoji who controls the wind and thunder, the samurai who controls the white flames, and the conjurer who enslaves the shadows."

"Wait! What did you say?"

He was suddenly interrupted by a presence in the darkness.

"The one who controls the wind and thunder"

"The last one! The conjurer who enslaved the shadows! Can he transform the dead guys into his shadow soldiers?"

"Yes, do you know his details?"

The being in the darkness pondered for a moment, and then spoke again, with a less smiley and relaxed tone:

"Ask your four men to come to my place again. I will give them enough power to kill the first two guys. As for the last shadow. As for the last conjurer, I suggest you and your sister take action yourself! Don't think about it. Leave it to your men to deal with it, if you can't kill him in one fell swoop, it will only enhance his strength in disguise!"

"it is good!"

He nodded, turned around and left. He had already said what needed to be said!

It wasn't until he left the dark passage that the being in the darkness couldn't help but whisper in surprise:

"The Shadow King."
