He no longer came to the lakeside, nor did he strike the lake surface. It seemed that after that argument, he and the snake had become complete strangers.
Time flies by, and ten years have passed silently.
Over the past decade, Su Nuo has gained a completely new understanding of his spells. He understands how the power of the spell flows within his body, and he has learned to chant incantations to guide the power of the spell, increasing the power of the spell to 100% or 120%.
He also learned to use the rules of spell power to add a constraint to his domain that "leaves a glimmer of hope for the enemy," thereby increasing the domain's range from a radius of thirty-five meters to a radius of two hundred meters.
He further understood that "abolishing feudal private interests and establishing republican public interests; examining the evils of capitalism and clarifying the principles of distribution; governing the people to benefit the government and bringing order to the world."
Just like most teenagers, Su Nuo is now full of ideals and energy, harboring the ambition to "change the world".
Even though Lilith often teased him, saying that "talking about republics and democracy in feudal times is no better than talking about atomic substitution reactions with gorillas," the fifteen- or sixteen-year-old Su Nuo was always full of confidence.
One day, after breakfast, Amelia was clearing away the dishes as usual when the young Sukuna spoke up:
"Boss, teacher, I want to leave here and venture out into the world."
Hearing this, Lilith and Amelia were somewhat surprised, but Lilith quickly realized that Su Nuo had grown up, but he was still a long way from becoming the King of Curses, and he needed to gain more experience.
So Lily agreed without hesitation, and said:
"Work hard out there, and when you achieve something, remember to take us to the city to retire."
"Okay, boss, I definitely will."
As Su Nuo spoke, he looked at Amelia.
Lilith had already agreed to Su Nuo's departure, so Amelia naturally had no objections. However, Amelia gave him some advice:
"be careful."
Su Nuo nodded and left the villa.
On the way down the mountain, one inevitably had to pass by that lake. He had stopped in front of the lake before, but the conflict that could have been resolved with a simple apology had now become the reason why he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
In the end, Su Nuo said nothing, turned and left. He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he heard a rushing sound of water. Looking back, he saw a snake poking its head out of the lake.
"Don't die out there. Use your abilities to earn my respect."
Su Nuo was taken aback, then a smile curved his lips. He said:
"Don't worry, I will prove to all of you that I will change this era."
After saying this, the young Su Nuo walked down the mountain, carrying nothing but a white robe in the style of a feudal era...
Chapter 68: Su Nuo Descends the Mountain
How can a corrupt feudal era be revitalized? Su Nuo's idea was to first go to big cities and promote his ideas to the nobles. Nobles are generally highly educated and will surely recognize the progressiveness of his ideas.
Thus, the nobles accepted Sukuna and his ideas, which became Sukuna's stepping stone to reach the Emperor. As long as the Emperor did not want to become a tyrant who would be cursed by later generations, he would definitely promote Sukuna's ideas. In this way, how far away would the road from feudalism to democracy be?
However, the more beautiful the imagination, the crueler the reality. After Su Nuo descended the mountain, the first problem she faced was:
"Where exactly are these so-called big cities?"
This problem stumped Su Nuo, leaving him completely baffled. Fortunately, on his way down the mountain, he spotted a village at the foot of the mountain.
It was a small village standing beside a river. Outside the village were several rice paddies, where villagers were working in the fields with their sleeves rolled up, creating a peaceful and harmonious scene.
"Perhaps we could ask them..."
Su Nuo murmured to himself as he walked toward the village. To avoid startling the villagers, he put on a friendly smile as he approached the village entrance.
Su Nuo, who had lived on the mountaintop for more than ten years, forgot that the four-eyed, four-armed creature, selectively ignored by the snake, Lilith, and Amelia, was definitely an anomaly to the villagers below the mountain.
The first village woman to see him turned deathly pale, and her scream echoed throughout the village. This sound alerted more villagers to Su Nuo, and panic began to spread.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I just want to ask for directions."
Su Nuo stood still, making soothing gestures with all four hands, but the villagers grabbed their farm tools and surrounded him, muttering things like "monster" and "ghost."
Su Nuo attempted to explain:
"I'm not a monster. The reason I look like this is because I was born with multiple limbs. To put it simply, when I was in my mother's womb, I absorbed my brothers who weren't fully developed yet. It's just a medical condition..."
However, after Su Nuo said these words, the villagers' fear of Su Nuo did not diminish at all. They even took hoes and went forward to try to drive Su Nuo away.
Su Nuo then realized that talking about congenital deformities to these villagers who couldn't read a single word was like casting pearls before swine.
To prevent the villagers from taking any more extreme actions, Su Nuo had no choice but to give up asking for directions and leave.
Looking back, Su Nuo noticed that the villagers had erected a scarecrow at the village entrance to ward off evil spirits. He felt somewhat helpless. If the scarecrow was effective, then what was the point of his more than ten years of studying magic techniques?
Su Nu shook his head slightly, then thought of his situation. He couldn't just wander aimlessly without knowing the location of the big city.
So Sukuna looked eastward and decided to head in that direction until she found a city...
In this direction, a convoy of dozens of people was traveling westward. The guards were all fully armored, with swords at their waists, and their bodies were filled with magical energy.
This is a caravan of sorcerers. Among the carriages they escorted was the eldest daughter of the Fujiwara clan, a genius sorcerer named Man who, at only ten years old, was already proficient in using construction techniques.
At this moment, young Wan, dressed in elaborate aristocratic attire, her brightly colored clothes almost completely obscuring her body except for her head, drew back the curtains and gazed at the gray sky outside, utterly bored.
"I really don't understand why my father would make me come to a shrine in a place like this? Can there really be a real god in such a small place?"
As soon as Wan spoke, the guard beside the carriage seemed to have heard something utterly treasonous, and hurriedly came to the carriage window to say:
“Miss, although you have left the Fujiwara clan, you must still be careful with your words and actions. If you offend the gods, I'm afraid…”
"Afraid of what?"
Wan was completely unconcerned. As a genius mage who had mastered construction techniques, she wasn't so easily intimidated. She said:
"Don't even mention gods. Even if there are monsters here, I can kill them all by myself. I'm not a child. Don't try to scare me with this kind of thing."
Hearing this, the guards were helpless against Wan. Although Wan's words were somewhat extreme, she certainly had the right to be arrogant...
The procession continued westward as usual, but at some point, the birdsong and cicada chirping in the surrounding trees disappeared, and the sounds of flowing water and wind ceased.
Because their attention was focused on Wan, the guards did not notice the abnormality in the environment at first, until... two figures walking side by side appeared on the convoy's only route.
The two figures were exceptionally tall and thin, dressed in loose blue and white robes, with an exaggerated katana at their waists.
The guard squinted, and the figures of the two became clearer. He saw that their black hair was fluttering in the wind, and their pale faces wore exaggerated expressions, with round eyes and protruding fangs, looking both sad and happy.
"It's a monster?!"
The guards were startled, their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly called for the convoy to turn around and retreat in the opposite direction.
However, it seemed that from the moment the cicadas stopped chirping, a barrier formed by the cursed power released by the monsters enveloped the group of people in the caravan. No matter how the group retreated, the two tall and thin figures continued to approach.
Closer, closer.
As the two evil spirits drew ever closer, the guards realized that running away would be pointless. The best way to break the barrier was to kill the two evil spirits blocking their way.
"Don't run away! Protect the young lady!"
As the guard said this, he channeled his magical power to enhance his physical abilities, then drew his katana from his waist and faced the two evil spirits directly.
And the evil spirit? It merely revealed a sinister smile, its figure flickered, and vanished from the spot.
The guard's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly looked around for any trace of the evil spirit. However, before he could find it, a chilling cutting sound rang in his ears, followed by a dizzying sensation.
In a daze, the guard saw his body cut in two. He was completely bewildered and had no idea what had just happened.
"What's going on? Why is my body... I'm already dead?"
After a while, the guards realized that they had been killed by the evil spirits. As for the other guards, they were powerless to resist the evil spirits' attacks and were beheaded or cut in half at the waist in a single move.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage was split open with a loud crash, and a scream rang out.
The sound jolted the guard's nerves, making him struggle to get up and protect her, but he had already been cut in half at the waist, so what could he do?
Even as his consciousness faded, the guard's mind was filled with thoughts of:
"Someone, please save the young lady... Anyone will do, please come and save the young lady..."
With two crisp "swish" sounds, Wan's screams came to an abrupt halt. Was it a divine intervention? Or had Wan already been killed by two evil spirits?
neither.
In the distance, Su Nuo, a being with four eyes and four arms, walked towards them. Upon seeing the tragic scene, he unhesitatingly threw out two [solutions] at the two murderous demons.
Chapter 69: Traveling with Ten Thousand
After the evil spirits were slain, the barrier they had set up naturally collapsed. Su Nuo walked straight towards the convoy that had been wiped out by the two evil spirits. Looking at the mangled corpses on the ground, he frowned slightly, feeling regretful.
"Damn it, if I had discovered it sooner, perhaps no one would have died..."
Su Nuo sighed, ignoring the two evil spirits whose heads had been cut off and were slowly turning to ashes, and came to the carriage that had been split in two.
He looked at the girl trembling on the wreckage of the carriage and asked:
"why?"
Wan hadn't even recovered from the terror of being attacked by the evil spirit when she saw the four-eyed, four-armed Su Nuo appear, and she screamed in fright:
"No...don't come any closer! Don't kill me...!"
"........."
Su Nuo was already used to Wan's reaction, after all, his appearance really made him easy to mistake for a monster. But right now, Su Nuo had no mind to comfort her.
Su Nuo took two steps forward, his tall and strong body instantly enveloping the young Wan, a terrifying sense of oppression pouring out, forcing Wan to shut his mouth immediately, not daring to utter a sound.
At this moment, Su Nuo spoke again:
"Why? Why didn't you make a move just now?"
Wan was terrified. In her eyes, the caravan had just been wiped out by two evil spirits, and now another, even more powerful monster had appeared, constantly asking why.
[Is this the monster's killing pattern? If you can't answer, you die?!]
Thinking of this, her body trembled involuntarily. She forced her head up to look at Su Nuo and mustered her courage to ask:
"What, why...?"
Su Nuo said:
“I can sense that the cursed power in your body is more than those two evil spirits combined, yet you watched the guard die right before your eyes, and you didn’t even make a move when the evil spirits were right in front of you. Why?”
Upon hearing this, Wan fell silent. Looking at the corpses scattered all around her, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she encountered the evil spirit. A sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.
Having grown up under the protection of the Fujiwara clan, when had Man ever seen a real yokai? He thought that with his own strength, he could easily deal with any yokai he encountered, but when he actually met one, he didn't even have the courage to fight.
