I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod.

Meanwhile, on Amelia and Luso's side, with a loud "thud," the oxcart was overturned by the force of the impact, forcibly waking Luso who had been sleeping. Luso, with a grumpy expression, complained:

"Hey! Can't a person get some sleep? If you're going to kidnap me, tie me up properly, don't let it all tip over..."

Before she could complain about the guards' professionalism, a loud clattering sound came from the top of the oxcart, wood chips scattered, and a large hand ripped open the roof.

Through the gap in the roof of the car, an extremely large figure appeared, about five meters tall, wearing a dark kasaya, holding a feather fan, and with two swords at its waist. Like other tengu, it had a pair of large black wings, but it had a human face, with a red face, a long nose, and a ferocious look.

After staring at it for two seconds, Lu Suo immediately lost her temper. She stared blankly at the tengu in front of her, which was different from the other tengu, her mind filled with "What's going on?"

It was only at this point that Lu Su realized she had a serious misconception about Tengu. Before, she had always thought that all Tengu were monsters of the same level as Hebi, but now she realized that there was also a hierarchy among Tengu.

The tengu we encountered earlier had a crow's face, so let's call it the Crow Tengu. Although it was quite strong, it was the lowest-ranking member of the tengu clan.

The red-faced, long-nosed tengu before us now possesses a size and curse power far exceeding that of the crow tengu. It embodies people's fear of the deep mountains, forests, and powerful figures who, filled with resentment, ultimately transform into vengeful ghosts and natural disasters. It is undoubtedly a mountain god.

This is the legendary great demon – Ōtengu.

Upon seeing the Great Tengu appear before him, Lu Suo was filled with panic:

[I'm doomed. Do I even have a chance against Ōtengu now? With Yamata no Orochi dead, Ōtengu is practically the most powerful yokai of this era...]

However, in some legends, the Great Tengu is equivalent to a mountain god. Perhaps its appearance at this moment is simply to save me, a kidnapped and wayward girl?

Thinking of this, Lu Su cautiously looked at Da Tengu and tried to say, "Are you here to save me?"

However, before that, the Great Tengu's fierce words came:

"You killed my followers and you're just going to leave like that?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Suo was completely dumbfounded:

[Follower? What follower? Could it be that the follower the Great Tengu was talking about is the Karasu Tengu? No, wait, when did I ever kill a Karasu Tengu...?]

With this thought in mind, Lu Suo suddenly remembered the tengu that Amelia had instantly killed, and his heart sank.

Although Lu Suo took death lightly, her grand plan, which was unparalleled in history, had only just begun. If she were to die now, she would be filled with regret until the very end.

[No! I can't die! I must live, live to complete my plan, and then whatever happens after that!]

After this thought came to mind, Lu Su gradually sorted out her thoughts. She took a deep breath and suddenly bowed towards the direction of the Great Tengu in an extremely difficult posture.

thump.

It was the sound of his head hitting a wooden board. Despite the pain, Lu Suo cried out:

"Lord Ootengu, you've misunderstood! I didn't kill her! The murderer is the person next to me. If you want to kill someone, kill her! I'm willing to do anything to survive!"

Upon hearing Lu Suo's words, the Great Tengu narrowed its eyes slightly, scrutinizing Lu Suo and then Amelia, its eyes twitching wildly.

"This woman possesses no magical power; how could she possibly kill my follower? Don't try to fool me!"

As he spoke, the Great Tengu waved his feather fan, and a gust of wind swept in, causing the entire oxcart to burst apart and explode into large pieces of wood chips.

Luso and Amelia were also blown away by the strong wind, crashing into several tree trunks and snapping them in half. The intense pain caused her to groan involuntarily.

"Ouch! This is outrageous!"

Lu Suo wasn't without temper. Knowing that there was no point in continuing to beg for mercy without reconciliation, she was almost sober when her magical power flowed through her body, and she broke the ropes binding her body.

He stood up, stretching his wrists, and gazed at the enormous size of the Great Tengu, his tone calmer than ever before:

"Don't think that just because I've been tolerant, you can keep bullying me. If I can kill your henchmen, I can kill you too."

The Great Tengu frowned even more deeply, but seeing Lu Suo's calm appearance, he did not make a move immediately. Instead, he placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

This wasn't because it was intimidated. As a Great Tengu, it possessed a small amount of divinity, and for someone like this who was still willing to draw his sword in the face of a strong opponent, it was willing to give him a dignified death. So it said:

"No matter the outcome, one of us will see the next spring. Let's give it our all."

As he spoke, the Great Tengu drew his katana. The light reflecting off the blade in the sunlight shone into Ryouso's eyes. She swallowed hard, smiled with a look of resignation, and then suddenly pointed behind the Great Tengu:

"Wow! A nine-tailed fox!"

"What?"

The Great Tengu was startled and quickly turned around to look, but there was nothing behind it. After observing for a while, it was not until it heard Lu Suo's voice saying "Run!" that it realized it had been tricked.

Seeing Lu Su carrying the still-sleeping Amelia away, Da Tengu was furious. He had never seen such a shameless person. He shouted "Outrageous!" and flapped his wings to rush forward.

Wow!

The Great Tengu is extremely fast; with each flap of its wings, it can quickly cover dozens of meters. At the speed of the Lu Suo, it won't be long before it catches up.

"Damn it... I'm going to get caught!"

As the Great Tengu drew ever closer behind her, Lu Su gritted her teeth, cold sweat pouring down her back. She glanced at Amelia sleeping peacefully in her arms. Although she was reluctant to use this method, she knew that now was the time to do so, and if she didn't use it now, she would never have another chance.

[I'm sorry, Amyria, there was nothing I could do about it. You'll forgive me, right?]

Lu Suo took a deep breath, grabbed Amelia, and forcefully threw her towards the Great Tengu who was about to catch him, saying:

"Go, Amyria! Hold it off!"

Before Amelia could even touch the Great Tengu, she was casually slapped into a nearby grove of trees and disappeared in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Lu Suo was greatly alarmed:

"No! Anmiya!"

He said that, but his feet kept moving. He even took the time to cast the spell [Echo Retracing] on the Great Tengu, sending the Great Tengu back to its position three seconds earlier.

Even so, escaping from the Great Tengu was still extremely difficult. Before long, the Great Tengu caught up with Lulu and grabbed her by the neck, lifting her into the air.

Seeing the girl struggling violently in its grasp, the Great Tengu's patience was completely exhausted. It increased the pressure on its hands, saying:

"You despicable bastard, even abandoning your comrades won't save your life. Disappointed? Do you have anything else to say?"

Grabbing in the giant hand of the Great Tengu, Lu Suo felt as if her bones were about to be crushed. Recalling what she had done not long ago, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

[Am I going to die? It feels so reckless... I had so many chances to avoid this, but I missed them all. How pathetic.]

Lu Su sighed, then looked at the Great Tengu and said something that left everyone puzzled:

"If I could, I'd really like to be an ordinary maid..."

"Maid? What maid?"

The Great Tengu was completely bewildered, unable to understand why Lusuo would say such a thing. However, it soon didn't need to think about it anymore, because a purple beam of light suddenly shot out from behind it, cutting it in two. Until its death, the Great Tengu still didn't know what the word "maid" meant.

Lu Suo was thus rescued. She fell to the ground, staring blankly at the direction from which the purple beam of light had come, puzzled by her inexplicable rescue.

Until Amelia appeared from that direction, stood in front of Lu Suo, stared with her uneven eyes, and said:

"You just mentioned maids... right?"
