The Great Master of Gensokyo

"We are willing to surrender!"

In an instant, all the Genji followers made their own choices.

These people submitted to Saigyouji Habu in the blink of an eye.

...

Chapter 115 Controlling Ghosts

The Genji's demon soldiers included not only humans.

Yokai are the elite of the Genji.

Using monsters while also eliminating them was perfectly natural for the Genji.

For the Genji, who prioritizes humanity, it's not unreasonable to control and master monsters in order to gain the power to destroy them.

"You guys are really loyal," Saigyouji Yuusuke remarked, while the other demons turned pale, their faces showing fear and unease.

"Onmyoji, we are truly willing to surrender. Please spare us."

Under the lingering influence of Saigyouji Ushō, they dared not move, kneeling there and praying to Saigyouji Ushō.

"I will take care of them. The demon soldiers trained by the Genji clan will still be of some use."

Hagoromo Gitsune arrived, and Saigyouji Hanyu was a step ahead in speed, having used the power of the fire spirit to rush over.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Saigyouji Yuusuke nodded slightly, and Hagoromo Gitsune officially took over the few thousand demon soldiers.

The number of demons and monsters controlled by Hagoromo Gitsune has increased considerably.

"Master Hanyu!" A happy Midori ran over and hugged Saigyouji Hanyu.

"I've been saved by Master Yuzuru again..." How many times has this happened? Although she felt a little embarrassed, Midori was very happy.

“As a shrine maiden, you’ve done even better.” With a helpless smile, Saigyouji Habu ruffled Midori’s hair. “The decisive day of the battle in Heian-kyo is approaching, and I was worried about what might happen to you on your way here.”

"Luckily, I told Yaodao-hime to hurry up and get on the road. If we encounter enemies like this in the future, we should run away if we can, understand?"

This saved Cui Zi and her group from being besieged.

The shikigami is powerful, but without him by my side, I'm lucky if I can use half of his strength.

Of course, shikigami won't die; being injured simply means returning to the shikigami record to recover health.

"Okay." Midori stuck out her tongue, revealing a cute expression.

Only in front of Saigyouji Hanyu would Midori show such a cute side.

"Lord Yuusuke, what should we do with this monster?" Yaodao-hime asked, pointing at Onikiri.

Onikiri is now critically injured and on the verge of death; one more strike and he will surely die.

"Let me see."

Hanyu Road, Saikyoji Temple.

The Yokai Race Diary took effect on Onikiri.

[Onikiri: The demon sword of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, sealed within by the spirit of the demon of Mount Ōe, its memories sealed by Minamoto no Yorimitsu.]

"Can the sealed memories be released?"

He never expected it would be the ghost of Mount Ooe.

[It can unlock sealed memories.]

The system notification tone quickly answered Saigyouji Hanyu.

Having received a satisfactory answer, Saigyouji Hanyu chanted a spell, "Amulet, life."

A healing light enveloped Onikiri.

"Firefly, help him recover."

Saigyouji Hanyu said, which surprised Hotaru, who was standing next to him.

"Um, but Master, is this alright?"

That monster is an enemy.

Why save him?

Suiko looked puzzled, and even Hagoromo Gitsune, who had just arrived, looked confused.

"He is the demon of Mount Ōe, but his memories have been sealed by Minamoto no Yorimitsu. His true strength is at the level of a great demon."

"Wouldn't it be perfect to let this Ōeyama Oni be the one to recruit the Ōeyama Oni and fight against the Genji?"

Saigyouji Hanyu's words brought a faint smile to Hagoromo Gitsune's lips.

"I see, so you want him to become your subject."

At this moment, Hagoromo Gitsune did not stop her.

Onikiri is a demon from Mount Oe. No matter how it was sealed into a demon sword by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, it is bound to be a mortal enemy of Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

For Saigyouji Hanyu, the forces around him grew stronger and more numerous.

Only then can he safely obtain what he wants in Heian-kyo after everything is settled.

Divide the distribution of interests.

Another point is that Saigyouji Hanyu had a crazy and daring idea.

What other path can an Onmyoji take after reaching its limit?

While the path to Shinto or becoming a demon was merely a matter of choice, Saigyouji Hanyu wondered if a human body could control the fear of a hundred demons.

The path of an Onmyoji is not limited to just incantations.

...

pain.

Onikiri's sealed memories are squeezing his mind, mixed with memories of him as a weapon of the Genji.

These memories threw Onikiri's mind into chaos.

"I am a ghost..."

"I'm not Onikiri, I'm a demon from Mount Ooe, damn it!"

He let out a roar, and the terrifying pressure of a ghost echoed throughout the room.

The overwhelming grief within him made it impossible for him to accept the outcome before him.

He personally destroyed Mount Ooe.

"You're awake." Saigyouji Yuusuke sat not far away, his calm gaze falling on Onikiri. "The demon sword of the Genji clan, Onikiri."

"No, that's not my name!"

He is a demon of Mount Oe, not some demonic sword of the Genji.

"Really? Then do you still remember your own name?" Saigyouji Hanyu's words left Onikiri completely taken aback.

He couldn't remember...

He remembered that he was a demon of Mount Ooe, but he couldn't recall his original name as a demon; instead, he became the demon sword Onikiri.

He couldn't accept this result.

"Do you want revenge?"

Saigyouji Hanyu chuckled softly and addressed Onikiri.

miss you.

Having regained his memories, he was consumed by thoughts of revenge. However, Onikiri watched the human before him with suspicion.

"Human, what do you want!"

"I am a demon from Mount Ooe, and I will never submit to anyone."

If Saigyouji Hanyu wanted him to become a shikigami, Onikiri's first thought would be to refuse.

"I can give you power, but on the condition that you become my first hundred demons."

The surroundings fell silent.

"You, a human, actually want to recruit a hundred ghosts? Do you think you are the lord of all demons and monsters?"

Onikiri laughed, finding it completely absurd.

"I am an Onmyoji, but also a human. I cannot, in truth, act as the true lord of demons and monsters, commanding the fear of all spirits..."

Having anticipated Onikiri's refusal, Saigyouji Hanyu was not in a hurry.

"However, for an Onmyoji, nothing is impossible."

The principle of spiritual power transforming into magical power, the creation of demons, and how the fear of all ghosts is controlled by the Lord of Demons and Monsters…

Without understanding these things, how could Saigyouji Hanyu possibly talk about realizing the idea of ​​restoring the order of Yin and Yang?

Let the day belong to humans, the night to yokai, and let the Onmyoji rule the time of twilight, when black and white alternate.

"I can give you strength so that you can truly regain your power."

"Either live or die."

Between life and death, choose one.

Otherwise, Saigyouji Hanyu would not have shown mercy to his enemies.

"You..." Onikiri's lips twitched, his expression shifting between light and shadow. Because standing beside Saigyouji Hanyu was the Demon Blade Princess.

The immense fear of that great demon far surpassed that of Onikiri at his peak.

Chapter 116 The Grand Ceremony (Part Two)

"What can you bring me?" Onikiri took a deep breath and stared at Saigyouji Hanyu in front of him.

"You will be able to fully restore your power to its peak, and you will become a true great demon."

This is Saigyouji Hanyu's return gift.

"Otherwise, how will you take revenge on the Genji?"

The Minamoto clan was responsible for the annihilation of the Yama Oni tribe of Ōe. Minamoto no Yorimitsu was the mastermind behind it all.

"Sign this."

A parchment document was placed before the two of them. On it was written the words "Contract of a Hundred Ghosts."

The terms of the contract defined the rights and responsibilities, and Saigyouji Hanyu, as Onikiri's lord, had the right to govern him.

In exchange, Saigyouji Hanyu needs to be given the power of true revenge.

Let him regain his strongest peak condition.

...

same time.

A taskbar unfolds before Saigyouji Hanyu's eyes.

【The Pact of a Hundred Ghosts】

[Gained the allegiance of a near-great demon, and completed the first inscription of the Hundred Demons]

[Gained: Passive - Fear of His Name]

Fear its name: Demons will involuntarily feel fear and dread when they recite its name, and humans will praise your achievements.

Your glorious achievements as an Onmyoji are etched in recorded history. Your legend and fame will grow stronger over time.

This passive acquisition made Saigyouji Hanyu feel for the first time what it meant to be feared by a hundred demons.

Just like the gods that humans believe in, the gods rely on the will and power of humans to cultivate themselves and strengthen themselves.

The Lord of Demons and Monsters is absolutely domineering and unreasonable in his plundering and fear-taking.

Onikiri is not a shikigami, but rather the first of the hundred demons he subdued.
