Chapter 393: The Onis Prepare

-----

Unknown to Frank, his parents were being trained by powerful entities within the confines of the cosmos.

It seemed that their own consciousness were sent elsewhere… Which only made things even more confusing.

However, Frank didn't knew anything of this, and continued his daily life as usual…

Meanwhile, within Earth, a group of Onis was preparing themselves for a raid…

Within their secret hideout that was located outside of Tokyo, around the wilderness, they were preparing.

And the one leading them all was a girl that seemed to be in her late teens, with red-colored skin and two huge black horns over her forehead, showing off that she was a strong Oni with an almost pure bloodline!

She was no one else than the direct descendant of Shuten Doji, the Legendary Demon God that tormented Japan in medieval times. She was raised by the Great Ancestor as an adoptive daughter, who she preferred to not kill due to her innocence as a child and not as the one who held the sins of her ancestor.

However, after she discovered that the great Ancestor, her adoptive mother, had hidden the truth about her origins to her, and after discovering what had happened to her grandfather and father, the rage within her bloodline awakened, growing a deep grudge against the Monk Clan, and escaping it by using what was left of her compassion before she was to kill many.

Now, she had gathered the last Onis within Tokyo and the surrounding Regions, slowly planning a new war against the Monk Clan. With her advisor and general, Takai Shinji, she seems to be slowly being manipulated by him without her realizing it.

She drank sake from a large bottle, as her crimson-red eyes that released a fiery hue seemed to be filled with many emotions. Sitting over a throne made of human bones and skulls that once belonged to her Legendary Grandfather, who was slain by Amaterasu and the other Japanese Gods, her advisor, the Space Attribute Magician Oni, Takai Shinji.

"My lady, preparations will be over in a few more days. We might be able to raid their territory through my Teleportation Spells, and we can slaughter as many Monks as you desire. Of course, the Great Ancestor, or better said, Kaguya, will be left for you. I cannot wait for the moment that you behead her and devour her body and essence. After that, you will grow even stronger, and might become the first Oni Goddess!" said Takai Shinji.

The girl, whose name was Sadako, glanced at the floor with eyes filled with contemp.

"Is this the right thing to do?" she sighed.

Takai glanced at Sadako as his crimson-red eyes beneath his glasses squinted.

"My lady, this is the right thing to do, of course. After all, your ancestor and your father were slain by the Great Ancestor's family! This is a family grudge that must be settled down, peace has never been an option, both the Oni Clan and the Monk Clan are destined to fight for supremacy. Avenging your venerable Grandfather and your father is the right thing to do, as they had battled against the tyrannical humans to protect our race… But even then, they died miserably, and humans took over our land. Now, us Oni are very few… We might soon go into extinction! If we slain these oni-slaughterers, we can take over their territory and resources, and slowly repopulate Japan with our offspring!" said Takai, as Sadako seemed a bit enlightened.

She was filled with bitter emotions, in one side she didn't wanted to make more bloodshed, and in the other, the rage of knowing that Kaguya never told her about her father's death and had lied to her about her race while they were killing more and more Onis in the sidelines… It filled her with a monstrous and savage rage that she could barely contain!

Her immense and powerful Demonic Aura of flames began to unleash from her little body, the power of her ancestor, Shuten Doji flowed through her bloodline. She couldn't forgive them! Not like this! Not as simply as this!

"You're right…! We have to do it, no more soft feelings! Those feelings don't belong on Onis. We are strong, savage, and we fight! There's no point in having pity to the people that have been slaughtering us all this time! It's time for some payback!" she roared.

"That's right, my lady! You are such a good leader!" said Takai, as he smiled maliciously as he readjusted his glasses.

"(Heh… Such a foolish girl… Everything is going according to plan…)" he thought.

As the leader of their tribe roared, all the Onis living within the temple were fille with a lot of energy and enthusiasm! Many of their faces were filled with emotion and devotion to her…After all, she was the granddaughter of their father!

"With Sadako-sama, we shall triumph!"

"Those humans won't stand a chance! We have trained all these years for this day!"

"We have refined our magic and strength… Soon enough, we'll be able to give back everything these Monks did to us!"

"Yes! Finally!"

Amongst the Onis, there were some familiar faces…

Especially one that was formerly completely burned and almost killed before by Frank and Matsuo when they went into an abandoned shrine.

Uehara, a young and reckless Oni had fully recovered after several months of rehabilitation, where he had been sharpening his fighting techniques and also training his powerful Abyss Magic.

His crimson-red eyes gleamed with fury as he recalled those that had left him like this… Frank and Matsuo.

He knew their names as he had heard them say them out loud, and he held  both of their detestable faces inside of his mind, he wanted to crush them with his newly gained power, and show them off that they are truly just some pathetic humans! Onis are superior in every way!

"Hehe… I can't wait to get back there and slaughter those two bastards!" he laughed maliciously, as a beautiful Oni girl at his side looked at him with a worried expression, the healer of the group named Sakura.

"Uehara-san…" she sighed.
