What Luo Wei found even more absurd was that the monsters of this era had brazenly established a powerful force.
All humans live under the control of these monsters.
For example, Kyoto.
Along the way, Luo Wei heard many rumors.
For example, Kyoto is ruled by a yokai called Hagoromo Gitsune. This Hagoromo Gitsune is known as the lord of all demons and monsters. He occupies Kyoto and radiates influence throughout the world. Countless forces have submitted to Hagoromo Gitsune.
The western kingdom was occupied by a group of cat demons.
The rulers of Kyushu are a group of monsters led by the Oni clan.
The current warlords of the Warring States period, such as Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen, and Saito Dosan, are all making a living under the control of monsters.
They lacked the imposing presence of the heroes of the Warring States period.
The Warring States period had completely transformed into the era of demonic kingdoms.
Monsters are the mainstream of this world.
Once considered lowly monsters, they now openly rule Japan, while the once-powerful humans have become prisoners and the monsters' rations.
What Luo Wei and the others found even more unbelievable was that monsters such as Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji had actually been resurrected in this era and were openly ruling over a region.
This is incredible.
Luo Wei truly hadn't expected that this era had become so chaotic.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu, in particular, upon hearing that Shuten-dōji had been resurrected in this era and had once again established Mount Ōe, immediately rushed up Mount Ōe and fought Shuten-dōji.
She didn't care who resurrected Shuten-dōji; all she wanted to do was kill Shuten-dōji again and make her die an even more miserable death.
Luo Wei neither confirmed nor denied this.
As it happened, he also wanted to meet Shuten-dōji, so he agreed to Minamoto no Yorimitsu's request and set off for Mt. Ōe.
07. Shuten-dōji, Ibaraki-dōji
Luo Wei and his group moved quickly, and after a day of driving, they soon arrived at Mount Ooe.
At this time, Mount Ooe seemed to have regained its former glory, with monsters coming and going on the mountain path.
There were also some beautiful young girls.
These girls were sacrifices, used to please the monsters present.
The arrival of Luo Wei and his group immediately shattered the tranquility of Mount Ooe.
A large number of monsters focused their attention on Luo Wei and his group, their eyes filled with suspicion.
The group of monsters couldn't understand who gave them the courage to force their way into Mount Ooe.
This is Shuten-dōji's territory.
Many demons were prepared to watch the show, and a group of impatient demons even planned to take action and capture Luo Wei and his group, handing them over to Shuten-dōji of Mount Ōe first.
However, as soon as these impatient yokai made their move, they were killed by Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
He died so decisively.
Before it could even touch the hem of Luo Wei's clothes, it was finely sliced into minced meat by Minamoto no Yorimitsu's blade.
This terrified many monsters.
"The demon slayer 03 is here! The demon slayer is here!" Some timid demons immediately shouted, alerting Mount Ooe.
Luo Wei did not stop them, nor did he bother to stop them. He led his heroic spirits and brazenly entered the main hall of Mount Ooe.
A banquet seemed to be taking place inside the main hall, where countless monsters gathered to indulge in unrestrained behavior.
The yokai sitting in the main seat was a woman dressed in a single layer of clothing, with a slender figure comparable to Yukinoshita Hirano.
The woman had a beautiful face, but two huge demon horns on her forehead.
Holding a huge wine glass, he smiled as he looked at the uninvited guest who had barged into his banquet.
She is the infamous Japanese monster.
Shuten-doji.
At this moment, Shuten-dōji's gaze swept over Luo Wei and the others, finally landing on Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu gripped his weapon tightly, staring intently at Shuten-dōji, as if he were about to rush forward and tear this despicable monster to pieces at the slightest provocation.
"Don't look at me with such a terrifying gaze, Minamoto no Yorimitsu. I won't be frightened by your eyes."
Upon hearing Shuten-dōji reveal Minamoto no Yorimitsu's name, the faces of the demons present changed drastically. Many of them turned ashen-faced, and the sake cups in their hands clattered to the ground.
There's a saying that goes like this.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
For yokai, the name Minamoto no Yorimitsu is a symbol of death, mainly because far too many yokai have died at the hands of this demon-slaying samurai.
Even the recently resurrected Shuten-dōji had died at the hands of this demon-slaying warrior.
Who can still face this renowned demon-slaying warrior with a calm mind?
Perhaps only Shuten-dōji could be left.
"When I first heard your name, I thought someone was impersonating you. I never imagined that you would actually come back to life," Minamoto no Yorimitsu said slowly.
"How about it, aren't you surprised?" Shuten-dōji asked with a smile.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu did not deny it, "I was indeed surprised, but it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of killing you again."
With a clang, she drew her weapon and pointed it at Shuten-dōji.
"Come down and die, Shuten-dōji."
"Let me do it, my dear friend."
Just then, sitting beneath Shuten-dōji, a small girl dressed in a yellow robe, but also with two demon horns, slowly stood up.
This girl's figure was as slender as Shuten-dōji's, but her terrifying demonic aura was no less than Shuten-dōji's.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu recognized the girl at a glance. "So it's you, Ibaraki."
"You really are a good dog of Shuten-dōji."
The girl categorically denied it, saying, "He's not a good dog, he's a best friend. Humans really can't understand the bond between me and Shuten-dōji."
Yes, the monster standing before us, attempting to stop Minamoto no Yorimitsu, is none other than himself.
It was Ibaraki-dōji, a subordinate of Shuten-dōji.
He was also a very famous and powerful monster.
Furthermore, there is another legend that Ibaraki-dōji was not a subordinate of Shuten-dōji, but existed as the "leader of the Ōeyama Oni Clan".
Although Shuten-dōji was a powerful being, he was so addicted to pleasure that he had no intention of personally ruling the demon horde.
Therefore, Ibaraki-dōji had to replace Shuten-dōji as the leader of Ōe-yama, commanding a horde of demons that could take on a thousand men, wreaking havoc in Heian-kyō and becoming a calamity demon that plunged humanity into fear.
Faced with Ibaraki-dōji's obstruction, Minamoto no Yorimitsu sneered a few times, showing no regard for this leader of Mount Ōe.
"In that case, let me kill you first, and then I'll cut off Shuten-dōji's dog head."
"If you can do it, then give it a try."
Ibaraki-dōji leaped into the air and shot towards Minamoto no Yorimitsu like a cannonball.
With a single, brilliant slash, Minamoto no Yorimitsu seemed poised to cleave everything in his path in two, including Ibaraki-dōji.
Ibaraki-dōji snorted coldly and threw a punch. As a demon among demons, Ibaraki-dōji not only had a hard fist, but also immense strength. He was a pure power demon.
In terms of strength, she believed herself to be second to none, so naturally she wouldn't dodge Minamoto no Yorimitsu's sword right away.
bump!
Two completely different forces collided violently.
In the instant the blade shattered, the bright blade struck Ibaraki-dōji's fist hard, but it only cut through Ibaraki-dōji's flesh and did not sever his bones.
577
This caused Minamoto no Yorimitsu's gaze to shift slightly; something was wrong with this arm.
At the same time, Ibaraki-dōji also found it unbelievable.
She once attacked Watanabe no Tsuna at the Rashomon Bridge in Kyoto, resulting in her wrist being severed.
His wrist was taken away as a trophy, and although Ibaraki later retrieved it, his right wrist, which had returned to his body, became strange.
Not only can it be separated and operated freely at any time, allowing it to fly in the air, but it can also be used as a weapon for attack.
Moreover, this right wrist is incredibly hard.
It's unbelievable that Minamoto no Yorimitsu actually destroyed this right wrist, injuring it.
Even more incredibly, Minamoto no Yorimitsu managed to block his own punch that was about to be thrown.
She is a demon representing the power of monsters, so powerful that even monsters cannot stop her.
But Minamoto no Yorimitsu, a human, effortlessly blocked his attack.
Unbelievable, inconceivable.
"It's been hundreds of years since we last met. I'm truly astonished. I never imagined you would possess such great power, Minamoto no Yorimitsu."
Ibaraki-dōji said this as he increased his strength, trying to overpower Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
Minamoto no Yorimitsu calmly said, "There are many things you don't know, Ibaraki-dōji."
She suddenly split in two; one part competed with Ibaraki-dōji in strength, while the other, wielding a katana, slashed at Ibaraki-dōji's head.
08. Amalgam
Ibaraki-dōji truly hadn't expected Minamoto no Yorimitsu to have such a tactic.
It's incredibly unfair that it can be split in two, making it a two-against-one situation.
However, she reacted quickly, instantly abandoning her stalemate with Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and pulled back her leg to avoid having her head chopped off by another Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
"What's wrong? Why is the famous Ibaraki-dōji retreating?"
Minamoto no Yorimitsu controlled another version of himself to attack Ibaraki-dōji while simultaneously taunting him.
Having spent so many days by Lovi's side, Minamoto no Yorimitsu has learned quite a bit of magic, and what he just used was a clone magic.
This is a very practical magic spell that can create powerful clones.
The number of clones depends on Minamoto no Yorimitsu's own power.
The greater the power, the more clones one can create.
With Minamoto no Yorimitsu's current strength, he could create thousands of such clones in one go, each possessing about 30% of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's strength.
A true one-man army.
In addition to this, the clone magic has another use: creating several clones with almost the same strength as the original body.
This clone is called the real clone.
It has the meaning of "one breath transforms into three pure ones".
The two Minamoto no Yorimitsu were of one mind and attacked Ibaraki-dōji at the same time, forcing Ibaraki-dōji into a retreat.
Although Ibaraki-dōji is fierce, it is still a question whether he can defeat Minamoto no Yorimitsu in a one-on-one fight.
Not to mention there are now two Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
"Two against one is too unfair, so let me join in too."
Just then, Shuten-dōji, who was drinking, couldn't stand it any longer. He knew that if things continued like this, Ibaraki-dōji might be killed by Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
So she decisively stepped in and helped Ibaraki-dōji stop Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Seeing this, one of the surrounding demons shouted, "Go! Help Lord Shuten-dōji kill them!"
The next second, a large number of restless monsters rushed forward one after another.
Before Lovi could even make a move, Medea chuckled, and magic circles appeared out of thin air, unleashing a barrage of lightning, fireballs, and wind blades that bombarded the monsters.
