Chapter 441 Attrition

Chapter 441 Attrition
In the 'Warring States Era',

Because the students involved were so active, a rumor began to circulate among monsters and humans.

More than two hundred years ago, the third sword of the invincible 'Dog General', the Sounaga, was about to be born. Whoever could wield this weapon would become the Demon King!
Even the daimyo among humans are eager to make their move; if they could acquire this demonic sword, their chances of dominating the world would increase significantly; at the very least, they cannot allow it to fall into the hands of rival daimyo.

The legend of the 'Congyunya' has long been circulating in this 'small world', and it is undoubtedly the 'number one sword'.

Of course, its malevolent nature is also paramount: only a demon king can wield this sword.

Experts are always full of confidence in themselves until they suffer a major loss.

In a forest,

"Lord Sesshomaru,"

"How are you using this 'Blue Demon's' arm?"

Sitting atop a two-headed monster, carrying a staff made of human heads, the 'old kappa' Jaken inquired ingratiatingly.

"generally,"

Sesshomaru, with both arms intact, answered calmly.
At his own father's grave, the aloof young nobleman was rejected by the Tessaiga, and his guard was broken. He actually used his true form to withstand Inuyasha's slash, resulting in him losing an arm and almost dying.

However, after calming down, Sesshomaru did not feel frustrated at all.

To be honest, his strength far surpasses Inuyasha's; even if the opponent were wielding the Tessaiga, he should be able to easily defeat him.

Last time, Sesshomaru was so enraged by his father's choice of his 'useless' younger brother as his heirloom that he lost his mind and physically endured the attack. If they were to fight again, he was confident of victory.

As for the severed arm, it ended up as a 'sacrifice' in his father's grave, and he temporarily 'borrowed' a hand from a powerful demon to use.

As for why he is walking slowly through the forest now, it's because—

"Wait for me, Lord Sesshomaru, Grandpa Jaken~~"

A little girl ran up from behind.

"Ling, you're too slow."

Jaken, holding the staff with the human head, turned and spoke, sounding somewhat displeased; however, he showed unexpected tolerance towards this human girl, despite being a demon.

Because when Sesshomaru was severely injured and lying dead, it was this little girl who took care of him;
In truth, given Sesshomaru's strength, he doesn't need the other party's care.

After Sesshomaru recovers,
Their next encounter was with the little girl's corpse—an orphan without relatives, in this world it's normal for her to die at any time and under any circumstances.

Both sides were lucky, as Sesshomaru happened to possess the sword Tenseiga, which could 'revive' the dead.

He casually revived the opponent, thus gaining another little follower.

"It was clearly Grandpa Xiejian who cheated,"

The little girl pointed defiantly at the two-headed mount that was slowly pacing along.

"We agreed on a leg-riding exercise, but you were sitting on 'Ah-hun's' back; that's cheating, isn't it?"

"Heh, if you have a mount but don't use it, that's your problem."

Xie Jian's gaze darted around. Did he have to admit that he couldn't even outrun a human little girl?
“Ling, sit on ‘Ah-Hum’s’ back.”

After giving the order, Sesshomaru walked forward alone.

"I knew it! How could the son of Inu no Taisho possibly fall into an ambush?"

Barbarian Bone, carrying the giant sword 'Barbarian Dragon', emerged from behind the tree.
"Tsk, how will you know if you don't try?"

On the other side, 'Sleeping Bone', whose hands were covered with metal claws, also came out.

"Be careful, this guy is strong."

They were all seasoned veterans, mercenaries who had fought since childhood. They had fought against armies, samurai, shrine maidens, monsters, and even gods. But this noble-looking man in front of them made even the warlike personality of "Sleeping Bones" tremble.

"Not strong enough, and not worth that much bounty, right?"

Snake Bone, carrying a 'Snake Bone Knife', also emerged from the other side, forming an encirclement.

Next came the handsome monk's 'bone forging', the mechanical 'silver bones', and the three-meter-tall strong man's 'fierce bones'.

“I’ve heard of you,”

Faced with the encirclement, Sesshomaru simply glanced around calmly.

"A seven-man team?"

"Someone hired you to kill me?"

"Sorry, we don't have the habit of betraying our employers."

Faced with Jakotsu's nonchalant answer, Sesshomaru simply raised his hand.

"I think so too, then:"

brush----

On Sesshomaru's index and middle fingers, which he had brought together to form a sword, a long whip of demonic power suddenly lashed out, instantly slicing through the area where the snake bone was located!

Trees, rocks, anything that stood in the way of this 'whip of light' was instantly and silently sliced apart:

Just like a real, renowned sword being wielded!

Boom boom boom~~
Not only the forest, but also the nearby hills slid down with a roar, as if they had been cleaved in two at an angle.

"That was close!"

However, the snake bone was not killed.
He leaned back in a "steel plate" posture, with his feet still on the ground and his upper body parallel to the ground.

"Such an attack could only be—"

"I come!!"

The greatsword 'Barbarian Dragon' roared down with overwhelming force, slashing towards Sesshomaru!

Even before the greatsword arrived, its wild and violent power had already caused the ground within a dozen meters of Sesshomaru to crack layer by layer; the shockwave created a visible circular wave that uprooted the surrounding trees.

"Such brute strength, no wonder it's called 'Barbarian Bone'."

Facing the incoming greatsword, Sesshomaru dared not be careless and immediately raised his hand to grab it.

Bang! ! !
The ground suddenly caved in again, and the greatsword was actually held in one hand.

Moreover, a green light shone on the five fingers gripping the greatsword; this was Sesshomaru's innate talent: Poisonous Flower Claw.

The potent poison can dissolve an opponent instantly; even steel and rock will crumble into dust in the blink of an eye. In contrast, its ability to inhibit wound healing is almost entirely useless.

"Ok?"

However, the greatsword was completely undamaged, indicating that it was also a 'famous sword'.

brush,

In the instant the two were locked in a stalemate, the second strongest, 'Sleepy Bones', swung its claws and attacked from the other side.

"Do it!"

Snake Bone and Bone Refining also joined the siege.

On the contrary, Silver Bone and Ferocious Bone, being large-sized, strength-type superhumans, are naturally invincible when it comes to crushing weaker opponents, but they can't keep up with the pace when fighting against experts.

Boom, boom! ! !

The moment the two sides clashed, the earth shook violently; trees flew out like weeds, and mountains were flattened amidst the flying earth and rocks.

Led by 'Barbarian Bones' and with the others assisting, the seven-man team began to do their work.

Hunting the great demon Sesshomaru.

"Lord Sesshomaru—"

If someone hadn't noticed such a fierce battle, then it couldn't be explained by being blind or deaf.

Standing atop a mount named 'Ahun', Jaken arrived at the battlefield.

"Let me help you!"

idiot
Sesshomaru, who was being besieged by Bankotsu and the others, glanced displeasedly at the servant who had taken it upon himself to act on his own initiative.

Evil View's intentions were good, but the sight of a little girl clinging tightly to the saddle on the back of his mount 'Ahun' made Sesshomaru pause slightly.

"Silver Bones, Ferocious Bones, they're yours now!"

"no problem!"

Seeing that the other side had reinforcements arriving, Silver Bone and Fierce Bone, who were already unable to get involved, immediately turned around and faced the two-headed monster.

"Behold my staff of severed heads—"

Jaken himself has almost zero combat power, but the staff of human heads in his hand is quite powerful.

The woman's head at the top of the cane opened its mouth and spewed out a torrent of flames that immediately enveloped the silver bones and the fierce bones.

Boom!
The flames engulfed the two tall figures.

"You know how powerful I am?!"

As the flames subsided, Jaken did not see the enemy burned to ashes, but instead a giant shield: Silver Bones with outstretched arms that transformed into a shield protected 'Fierce Bones' behind him.

"Hahaha, you idiot!"

"I use fire, how could I be unprepared?"

Renkotsu, who was besieging Sesshomaru, glanced at the battlefield and couldn't help but laugh.

Silver Bones was modified by him; it would be strange if it didn't have fireproof capabilities.

"Hmph," he suddenly waved his hand.

The whirlwind whipped up by the 'demon power' alone was enough to repel the distracted Renkotsu, and Sesshomaru's expression turned icy.

"Taking you all out won't take much time."

But accidents always happen first:
Bang!
The flames from the staff of human heads failed to reach their target, and Silver Bone and Fierce Bone had already rushed forward and were locked in a fierce battle with the two-headed monster.

While Jaken was indeed a useless piece of trash with little fighting ability, the demon beast named 'Ahun' was quite powerful. One of its heads could breathe fire, and the other could spew poison. It ended up fighting the two big men.

"Ah Hum, slow down, ahhhhh!"

"Yeah~~"

Just as Xie Jian, who was gripping the beast's mane, was flying up and down, an untimely exclamation rang out.

A little girl was thrown off the back of the monster.

There's still one more.
No, it's a human little girl?

The unexpected turn of events left the group besieging Sesshomaru slightly stunned.

It doesn't matter though.

"Snow Bone, kill her!"

Since they are the enemy, then eliminate them.

what? !

The seven-man team isn't down to just one poison user left.
To Sesshomaru's shock, a girl wielding a long spear rushed out from the side and attacked the little girl who had fallen.

???

"Step aside!!!"

Suddenly, a surge of demonic power erupted, blasting away the people who were attacking him!

Sesshomaru rushed toward the battlefield, and even had his arm severed by Bankotsu: although that arm was not originally his.

Ling has already been 'resurrected' once; if she dies again...
"Don't even think about passing!"

"Snow Bone, make your move—"

The first sound came from 'Kyokotsu', who had noticed Sesshomaru charging towards him and spread his arms to block him.

The second voice came from Lian Gu, who noticed the other party's expression change drastically and concluded that the little girl must have some kind of 'weakness'.

"good,"

He suddenly raised the snow bone gun in his hand and aimed it at the terrified little girl on the ground.

But
At this moment,

'Snow Bones' Yukino May hesitated.

The other person was neither a monster nor a samurai, but just an ordinary little girl.

she.
Pfft

boom----

With just the slightest hesitation, the first sound of a sharp blade tearing through flesh rang out; then, the world spun around him as he crashed through several large trees and rolled a dozen times on the ground.

Am I dead?

"Xuegu, are you alright?"

The urgent voice of the snake bone brought Yukino Satsuki back to her senses.

"Am I okay?"

Just now.
? !
Her pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints, and Yukino Satsuki sat up, only to see the lower half of a burly man.

"A vicious bone?"

"Wrong View, let's go!"

On the other side, Sesshomaru used his demonic power to send Yukino Satsuki flying, picked up the little girl 'Rin', and flew away without looking back.

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru."

Grasping tightly to the mane of the demon beast 'Ahun', Xie Jian was carried into the air by the beast and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a devastated battlefield.

"A vicious bone! A vicious bone!!"

"Cough cough cough,"

The burly man, who had been cut in half at the waist, managed to force out a 'ferocious' smile as he saw the girl rushing to his side reflected in his pupils.

"I'm sorry... cough, I couldn't stop Xue Gu."

"If you're alright, then..."

A ghastly green spread across his chest, and the light in the burly man's eyes dimmed.

"A vicious bone, a vicious bone?!"

"Don't touch him, he's poisonous."

Snake Bone grabbed the high school girl who wanted to confirm the situation with Fierce Bone, while Reincarnation coldly shook his head.

"Hopeless."

The toxins have already entered the brain via the blood vessels, leaving no chance for repair.

"How. How could this happen?"

Looking at the half-corpse of the monstrous skeleton on the ground, Yukino Satsuki could only mutter to herself, tears streaming down her face.

At first, she only wanted to 'recruit' a few people as helpers; but after spending time together, these ruthless killers, yet straightforward in character, had already left a deep impression on her.

We agreed to become extraordinary figures together, so why did this happen?

Faced with the sudden separation of life and death, she couldn't find any other way to express herself except by crying.

This made the approaching barbarian bone man shake his head.

"Snow Bone—"

"No, May."

Subconsciously turning her head at the sound, Yukino Satsuki saw the greatsword 'Wild Dragon' rapidly enlarging into her eyes!
as well as:

"farewell."

brush,

A blur before my eyes,
Satsuki Yukino, squatting on the ground.
They found themselves in the 'teleportation hall' of the High School of Spellcasting.

???

"Excuse me, what's wrong?"

"It could be some kind of psychological attack."

The sounds around her seemed to be from the clouds, and only one thought occupied Yukino Satsuki's mind:
Was I being 'expelled'?
Because she didn't stab him.

"That's great, that guy, Ferocious Bones."

Among the departing group, Snake Bone had his hands behind his head.

"When he died, Xuegu wept for him. When I die, will you weep for me?"

"Huh? What are you talking about in your sleep?"

The sleeping bone next to him had a look that said, "Are you still asleep?"

"When was the last time some of us cried? Seven years ago? Or eight years ago?"

"Who would bother to remember something like that?"

Lian Gu calmly took over the topic.
"Fortunately, the Snow Bone didn't pierce through, otherwise we would have been facing a raging top-tier demon."

"But that little girl is indeed Sesshomaru's weakness."

"Next time, use this as a trap."

"Mistbone, hurry up and manufacture an antidote. This poison is too much of a threat to us."

"I try my best"
