"That would be very dangerous."
Shirou offered a reminder.
"It's not right for you to make 'the King' risk his life to follow me for the sake of your sister, while you hide in a safe place. Please."
Yuri spoke sincerely.
"Alright then, but if you disobey me and act on your own, you'll die."
Shirou nodded slightly, which was taken as an agreement.
"Well, I see."
Yuri nodded with obvious delight, then followed Shirou obediently to his side, like a personal maid.
Amakasu Touma did not have the right to enter, so he could only wait outside.
Although he was a member of the "Official History Compilation Committee," he was also an irrelevant person outside the Western Heavenly Palace, so he was not qualified to enter and meet the "disobedient god."
As Shirou and Yuri Mariya entered the shrine, Shirou noticed the bundle wrapped in cloth that Hikaru Mariya was carrying.
"Hikari, what's that you're holding in your arms?"
Upon hearing Shirou's question, the girl immediately smiled and answered.
"Wang, this is the 'Dragon-Slaying Blade'."
Kyuuhou Tsukihiko immediately chimed in, "The magical power stored within the 'Dragon-Slaying Blade' is probably the strongest in the entire Western Heaven Palace."
Upon hearing this, Erica reached out and took the "Dragon Slayer Sword" from Light's arms, easily holding it in her hand, and then swung it twice.
The blonde girl, who was always accompanied by a sword, immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Aside from the curse power, the steel material and the forging technique are all subpar... Is this really the divine sword that broke the seal of the 'Monkey God'?"
Erica's tone carried a hint of skepticism.
"Well, I'm ashamed to admit it..." Kyuhozuka Mikihiko chuckled awkwardly. "Although it's called the 'Dragon Slayer Sword,' it's ultimately more symbolic than practical. My ancestor probably didn't give it much thought back then; he just picked up a samurai sword and started making it..."
The Kyuhozuka Mikihiko family is very different from the other four major families. It is a true story of a self-made man rising to prominence, having achieved its current status entirely through the hard work of its ancestors.
"I see. Since the 'Dragon-Slaying Blade' is still here, then there's no problem."
Shirou took the "Dragon Slayer Sword" from Erica and held the brown hilt in his hand.
"So, how do we open the 'door' here?"
“All we need to do is cut the 'shimenawa' (sacred rope) at the shrine,” Kūhōzuka Mikihiko replied immediately.
Upon hearing this, Shirou raised an eyebrow.
"Doesn't this require a shrine maiden to do?"
“Originally, only a priestess with the power of ‘Huoba’ could wield this sword and exert its power, but as a god-slayer, you don’t need to care about this level of human magic. You only need to hold it to cast the spell.”
Upon hearing this, Shirou infused a little magic power into his hand, and the "Dragon Slayer Sword" in his hand suddenly emitted a tremor.
hum!
"Oh, that's it."
Shirou smiled and raised the "Dragon Slayer Sword" high in his hand.
"Back off."
Upon hearing this, both Kyuhozuka Mikihiko and the shrine maidens stood up.
then
Shirou swung his "Dragon Slayer Sword" and swung it down at the "Shimenawa" in front of him!
Supported by immense basic strength, even though the knife was not a sharp blade, it still managed to cut down the thick peach tree along with the 'shimenawa' (sacred rope), leaving a deep trench in the ground hundreds of meters behind.
"I used a little force, is it alright?" Shirou handed the "Dragon Slayer Sword" to Mikihiko Kubozuka.
"It's alright, I'll have someone come and fix it."
Kyuhozuka Mikihiko quickly lowered his head and spoke, his words filled with respect and without the slightest negligence.
After all, as the young master of the Nine Laws Tomb family, he knew that this "King" had defeated the most ancient "King" of the Luo Hao Sect. Now, who would dare to underestimate this new "Demon King"?
He didn't want to die young, so naturally he had to be respectful and try to prevent the "king" from becoming dissatisfied with him.
"Shouldn't we be able to go straight in now?" Erica looked in the direction of the shrine's main gate.
Just as the blade of the "Dragon Slayer Sword" severed the "Shimenawa" (a type of shrine rope), everyone felt that a "door" in some place was connected to the "door" of the shrine.
Once you step inside, you can travel to another world.
"You should wait here outside. There must be a battle going on inside. You might get hurt if you go in."
Shirou grabbed Erica's wrist as she tried to step through the 'door' and smiled as he spoke to her.
The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally looked at Shirou with concern and said...
"Alright... Be careful, 'King'."
The affection in his eyes was palpable without needing to be spoken.
Since arriving in Japan, Erica's mindset has changed, and she has become increasingly concerned about everything concerning Shirou.
"Well, I will."
Shirou raised his hand and stroked the girl's long golden hair, then softly replied.
Then, he turned around and stepped into the 'door'.
In that instant, space rippled, and Shirou's body vanished.
""king"……"
Erica stared at the location of the 'door' and crossed her hands in front of her chest.
The knight princess, who used to be known as the 'Crimson Demon,' now seemed to have become vulnerable.
……
As Shirou stepped into the main gate of the shrine, he felt the surrounding space suddenly darken, giving off a grayish-white feeling.
He felt as if he were walking through a dark, narrow tunnel. After vomiting for more than ten minutes, he lost all sense of time.
After exiting the tunnel, it felt like stepping into a paradise.
"Just like when I first saw the world of Pandora, this must be the realm between life and immortality, a void between the human world and the divine realm. Above that is the divine realm, and below that is the demon realm."
The Netherworld is like a world of idealism. Only those beings with divinity, such as god-slayers, can walk here unscathed. If ordinary people enter, it is as if they have entered a dangerous place where death is imminent.
Shirou walked a little further and finally saw a dilapidated hut, uninhabited, probably a stable.
The warm sun shone on the earth, and the sky was as blue and clear as if it had been washed by water.
In the distance, you can see very magnificent buildings, with huge city walls and palaces in full view, which are similar to the Forbidden City.
"This is it... So, where are Luo Hao and Sun Wukong?"
Shirou did not find Sun Wukong, who should have been in the stable, and immediately guessed that Luo Hao had already met with Sun Wukong.
At that moment, Shirou heard a whooshing sound as a figure shot into the sky.
That petite figure was undoubtedly Luo Hao, and closely following behind her was a monkey. Its face was not red, and its fur was shiny, with orange-gold fur that stretched to about eighty centimeters long.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven—Sun Wukong!
Chapter 86 I'm Here to Kill You
Of course, this is not the Sun Wukong from mythology, but Sun Wukong appearing in the world as a 'rebellious god'.
"The battle has indeed begun, but this woman seems to be at a disadvantage right now."
Shirou's trip was also for the sake of Sun Wukong, so he naturally did not intend to stand idly by.
After walking a short distance, Shirou suddenly leaped up, his figure instantly soaring into the sky.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, who was chasing Luo Hao, opened his mouth and recited a spell.
"Namo Ratna Trayaya, Namo Arya, Avalokiteshvara, Bodhisattvaya."
The chanting continued, and to Sun Wukong's right, a golden light flashed, and a shirtless man appeared.
Its blood-red eyes gleamed, and its mouth was wide open to the sides, revealing sharp fangs.
According to the legend of the Ōtani no Shōjin, when the Ōtani no Shōjin people were planning to open up a land of sunlight, the swift current of the Ōtani River blocked their way. According to their prayers, a fierce god appeared on the opposite bank and built a bridge across the river.
This is the origin of the Sacred Bridge.
Furthermore, the sage of Shengdao is a ghost.
God gave it a name. That was—'General of the Deep Sands'!
"Sha Wujing?"
Shirou looked at the figure that had appeared and murmured uncertainly.
Shirou had never read the original novel of "Journey to the West," only seen TV series and anime adaptations, which is why he was somewhat uncertain when that figure appeared.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The fierce god roared loudly.
That was the cry of the "disobedient god" at birth. It was a shout in response to the Dharani of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
Moreover, roars and the torrents of the Otani River erupted.
The water surged from the ground into the sky like a torrent of water, creating an incredibly spectacular scene.
But it wasn't over yet; on the other side of Sun Wukong, golden light also shone forth.
And emerging from among them is a figure with a somewhat rounded physique.
It has a chubby appearance and a plump physique, but beneath the fat lies unusual muscle, and its face is that of a 'pig'.
It has a long nose, its face is covered with dense black short hair, round eyes, short, bald triangular ears that stand up, and small fangs on both sides of its nose.
'Black Pig Spirit' Pig's bristles.
"Hahahaha!! It's rare for Old Pig to come out!"
With a somewhat impassioned voice, Zhu Gangbin produced a nine-toothed rake in his hand.
