Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 208 The Dog in My Memory (Part 2)

The Boundless Void is a realm where cheating is quite possible.

Basically, once it's deployed, anyone within its area of ​​effect will lose the ability to resist.

Unless there are equally matched fields to clash with.

But clearly, the dog demon in front of them did not.

Sora, who had been rushing to catch up but was still a step behind, looked at the scene in front of him and silently... took a few steps back.

It's better not to go there; you might get implicated.

Although it didn't know what territory was, it knew its owner's abilities.

On a large scale, anything that enters that area will be attacked indiscriminately.

They are usually attacked by unseen slashes, but in rare cases, like the one in front of us, they appear to have lost their soul.

It looks even scarier than being beheaded, after all... that would turn you into an idiot!

He stood hesitantly not far away, silently peering into the shrine.

However, it's unclear who designed the building, as it's impossible to see inside from the outside.

"What are you doing outside? Come in." A boy's voice came from inside the house.

It breathed a sigh of relief, then wagged its tail and walked in with its head held high.

Upon entering, one sees the dog demon in human form lying dumbly on the ground, its eyes fixed on the beam above. If it were drooling and making silly laughs, it would look like a genuine idiot.

I told you not to mess with your owner... You really are a silly dog.

Sora flicked the boy's face with its tail while nuzzling his hand with its head in a fawning manner.

The thick, long tail lashed at the man's face, making a loud slapping sound, and it quickly became red and swollen.

The original opponent had thick fur, so this amount of force wouldn't have much effect.

But once he transformed into human form, without the thick fur for protection, he was whipped until his face turned red.

Su Wu glanced at her pet and found that its fur was still clean, with no bloodstains or injuries, so she guessed that the other party hadn't suffered much.

The Boundless Void was originally a closed domain, but Su Wu didn't like it.

The enclosed area is small, and from the outside, it looks like a big ball that can be broken.

So he decisively changed the closed domain into an open domain, just like the Demon-Subduing Shrine.

Anyone can come in, and anyone can leave.

In any case, the effect was actually enhanced in the realm of boundless emptiness.

Because... open domains have no barriers, so they cannot be broken.

There was no barrier to be found, and it was even impossible to tell which side was within his territory.

Like a guy whose ability is luck... After being let off the hook by Sukuna, he happily ran into the area of ​​the Demon-Subduing Shrine and immediately cracked, cracked in a physical sense.

As for the closed domain... the domain of a certain cursed spirit named Zhenren was broken from the outside.

If a person were to endure an immeasurable void for 0.2 seconds, their brain would receive approximately half a year's worth of information at once. This is already the limit for the human brain; any more than that would lead to chaos and render it incapable of thought.

For example, some people with hyperthymesia have too many unforgettable memories that make their daily lives difficult, while those suffering from infinite space will only be more severely affected than those with hyperthymesia.

After all, it's a one-time indoctrination.

Considering the difference between the tolerance of demons and humans, Su Wu specially arranged a two-second experience time for the dog demon.

In other words, the other person's brain was fed five years' worth of information at once.

Although for a demon who is hundreds of years old, five years is but a blink of an eye.

However, receiving so much information at once is not a pleasant experience.

It won't recover in a short time.

We need to give the other party some time to process things.

"I still prefer the other dog demon's true form."

Hongyan's muddled mind finally started to function again when she heard this sentence.

Who is speaking?

His brain seemed rusty, thinking slowly and in a very difficult way; even everyday language became hard to understand.

Oh, you mean his dog demon form is handsome?

Of course, my true form is one of the most majestic and handsome among the dog demons.

"The humanoid form looks a bit tiresome," Su Wu added.

Although the other party's human form was indeed handsome, he had seen many good-looking anime characters.

He was more attracted to the imposing form of the monster than to the good-looking human.

Moreover, this guy's face inexplicably reminded him of several other people.

Who's talking? Nonsense!

His human form is clearly that of a rare handsome man among humans!

Many human women secretly fell in love with him because of this!

Who is so blind?

Hong Yan blinked, her eyes slowly moving as she fixed her gaze on the boy in front of her.

Oh, the white-haired, blue-eyed boy was squatting beside him, stroking his hair casually like petting a dog, pinching his chin, and reaching his hand inside to touch his teeth...?

How dare you treat a great demon like this? You put your hand in my mouth?

Hongyan was incredulous and furious. She slammed her mouth shut, trying to teach the other party a lesson.

If you willingly put your hand into a demon's mouth, it's only natural that it would be bitten off... right?

Why isn't it moving? There's no smell of blood? Why can't I bite into it?

Strange... why can't I close my mouth?

"Even in human form, his canines are still quite sharp..." Su Wu calmly withdrew her hand, looking at the stunned man with a composed tone.

"Why don't you transform into your original form?"

"I've heard of dog demons who forged world-famous weapons from their own teeth. Hmm, maybe yours can too," he said while washing his hands.

He knew why these dog demons looked familiar.

Because of their true form, a combination of a white dog and demon markings, it's easy to think of the big dog from the childhood memory of Inuyasha.

But... why is the one in front of me, in human form, missing its big tail on its shoulders?

Something's not right, something's not right.

It looks like a big dog, but it's dressed in red like an idiot.

Hmm, something's not right.

As for the one who turned his teeth into weapons, that would naturally be Big Dog and Second Dog's father.

The legendary dog ​​general.

The father and his two sons perfectly achieved the goal of having a whole family of demons fall in love with humans.

If Fairy Lingyue were to fall in love with a human, it would be a family portrait.

It seems dogs are just naturally drawn to humans...

Hongyan sat up instantly.

What? Pull out his teeth to make weapons?

Is this something a human could say? Even Abe no Seimei had never thought of it.

You can't find a single Onmyoji in Heian-kyo who would dare to say that.

Oh...right...I think he lost to this human...

Although he didn't know how he lost, it was all inexplicable. When he came to his senses, he was already lying down.

The loser should indeed be at the mercy of the winner...

No, that doesn't mean you need to have a tooth pulled!

"I have some teeth that I lost when I was getting my permanent teeth. I can give them to you if you need them," Hongyan quickly offered.

His brain finally recovered to its normal working speed and he could think normally again.

"Oh, right, dogs lose their baby teeth." Su Wu nodded.

Did Inu no Taisho use the teeth he lost when he was getting his permanent teeth when he forged his weapons?

"But the teeth that are replaced aren't as good as the teeth that are replaced later..." Su Wu said thoughtfully.

"...It won't be too different. I got my teeth replaced when I was over two hundred years old," Hongyan said after a moment of silence.

It's obvious he's lying.

Obviously, the teeth that come after you've replaced your baby teeth are better.

Because a two-hundred-year-old dog demon, converted to human age, is only eight or nine years old, which is the time when it's losing its baby teeth, while a four-hundred-year-old would only be eighteen years old.

Therefore, the teeth that are replaced when a person is over two hundred years old can also be called baby teeth, while the teeth that are replaced later are sharper and harder than baby teeth.

"Over two hundred years old..." Su Wu twitched the corner of her mouth.

That's enough, after all, it's a demon's tooth.

"Then hand over your teeth. The loser must give up everything," Su Wu said matter-of-factly.

"...Who knows what methods you used to win? I'm not convinced!" Hongyan said, sticking out her neck.

How can this be? If he lost, at least let him understand why he lost. He lost so easily and confusedly, how is he going to explain this to the other demons in the future?

Other demons: I heard you got into a fight with someone and lost? Tell us how you lost.

Hongyan: I don't know, I fainted as soon as I saw him.

Other demons: Oh! A certain dog demon was so frightened by the opponent's aura that he fainted on the spot!

If this gets out, will he ever be able to save face?!

Hongyan's face showed a pained expression as she thought about the possible scenarios that might occur.

"You want to lose more clearly..." Su Wu pinched her chin and nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, go on out." He said, walking outside.

Fly into the sky in front of the dog demon.

Wait a minute? It's flying? Humans can fly?

No, after all these years, I've never seen an Onmyoji who can fly.

Is this guy... really human?

The other party has a shrine...

Hong Yan's face lit up with a sudden realization.

He realized that this guy was some minor god!

However, as a minor deity, he had seen many gods disappear or degenerate into demons over the centuries due to the loss of faith.

He even fought against some gods.

They didn't have much reverence for most gods.

Therefore, he followed without hesitation.

Su Wu stopped after leaving the area of ​​the shrine for about a few kilometers.

"How's this place?" he asked casually.

It's some distance from the shrine, so a fight wouldn't damage it.

The roof that was blown off hasn't even been repaired yet; if it gets damaged again...

The newly built shrine may soon need to be rebuilt.

"Compete here? Of course you can..." Hongyan said, transforming into a demonic form.

"Are you ready?" he asked the human opposite him calmly.

If he's ready, he's going to attack.

Of course, he will attack even if he is not prepared.

In battle, of course, you have to strike first.

The dog demon, who had already launched an attack before he even finished speaking, thought to himself.

The next second, he saw a dazzling light that seemed to devour all the surrounding light sources, plunging the area into darkness, with only that single red light visible.

The red light was held in the hands of the white-haired boy.

[Spell Reversal - He]

The moment he saw that beam of red light, his figure was swallowed up by it.

It flew backwards without stopping, leaving a huge crater in the mountain.

It was deeply embedded in the mountain.

Even with thick skin, he still suffered a serious injury.

"Did you understand?" The white-haired boy appeared before him, showing little expression as he faced the dog demon who had lost most of its vital signs and was still vomiting blood. He simply asked to himself, "If you don't understand, try again?"

Hong Yan moved her lips listlessly, as if she had no will to live.

"……Understood."

I should have just admitted defeat before.

Now that the injury is so severe, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if word got out?

He was nearly killed/on the verge of death by XX's attack? Does that sound good to outsiders?

It's more accurate to say that he was stunned by the other person's beauty.

"Go and bring your teeth to me."

"Well, by the way, since you lost twice, I have two requests to make. That's reasonable, isn't it?" The boy asked if it was reasonable, but didn't wait for his answer and continued talking on his own.

Hong Yan didn't argue, listening dejectedly to the other party's demands.

You can bring it up however you want; if you're powerful, you're right, and whatever you say is correct.

"My second request is that you guard the shrine for me for five hundred years," the white-haired boy said.

"Five hundred years... alright." Hongyan was only taken aback for a moment before agreeing.

For powerful demons like them, five hundred years is not a particularly long time.

A powerful demon like him has a lifespan starting at a thousand years, and even a thousand-year-old demon is still considered a strong working adult by their standards.

"Alright, you can go home and get your teeth now." Seeing that the other person agreed so readily, Su Wu also let them leave without hesitation.

Hongyan remained silent for a moment, maintaining her original form, and said with a gloomy expression, "...I can't move for the time being."

He's so badly injured he can't even turn back into human form. If he dares to leave like this, he might run into other demons on the way and get killed by them, demons he used to look down on.

"...Alright then." Su Wu stared at the other party for a long time, then reached out and used the Reversal Technique to heal the dog.

"Can we go now?" he said casually.

"Immediately." Without saying any more words, Hongyan rushed out in her original form.

As he ran towards the dog tribe's location, he cursed the two brats under his breath.

It's all those two bastards' fault. If they hadn't been caught, would I have been beaten up by that guy while looking for them, and forced to stay and watch the shrine?

Those two unlucky bastards, I'll beat them up when I get back.

The dog tribe lives on a mountaintop, and due to a barrier, ordinary humans cannot approach it.

As the most handsome member of the dog clan, Hongyan is quite popular, and she was noticed by many of her clan members as soon as she appeared.

"Hongyan, why are you back?"

"Where are Maruko and Inuarashi?"

"You didn't bring them both back?"

"Why is there blood on you? What prey did you catch?" A bunch of dogs, big and small, looked at him and asked him questions.

Hongyan ignored them all and went to his den to dig out his own teeth that had been buried underground a hundred years ago.

Then he walked out with the tooth in his hand.

"Hongyan, aren't these your lost teeth? Why did you dig them out?"

"Where are you taking it?"

"You look like you've been beaten up."

"You seem really off today; you're not talking to us about your heroic deeds at all."

A group of his kin looked at Hongyan with confusion.

The most handsome man in their tribe.

"...Stop bothering me." Hongyan, unable to bear it any longer, paced around in annoyance, beating up each of the dogs that were asking questions before picking up her teeth again and flying away.

The dog demons of the same kind, who had been badly beaten, huddled together and watched their opponent leave.

Once the other person was out of sight, the atmosphere in Inuyama seemed to explode.

"Something's definitely wrong with the red flames!"

"What kind of demon did he fall in love with? Why did he give his tooth to her as a gift?"

"Could it be that she's fallen in love with a human?"

"Should we secretly follow them and take a look?"

"Do you dare?"

"..."

The dogs looked at each other, then lay back down and licked their fur.

Never mind, it's not worth seeing.
