Volume 2 - CH 259

After mourning ten people, Garak went to the building’s turrets.

Of the three buildings, two are watchtowers.

In the front was a double watchtower, in the middle was the main keep.

At the far end was the drum tower.

In other words, it is a kind of taiko drum tower.

As the name suggests, it is a two-story building with a large taiko drum inside.

Regardless of whether it is used or not, this is what a two-story building with taiko drums looks like.

Garak was not heading there to beat the taiko drum.

He was heading there to see what he could see because there was something important there.

Walking down the gravel road, the drum tower was just a short walk away.

He opened the gate between the stone walls, entered the building, and climbed the stairs.

There are no lights, but the Spectre Oni has good night vision.

They have no problem in the dark.

As he went up the stairs, he heard someone sobbing.

At the same time, there was a sound of beads being rolled around.

Relieved to hear the sound, he let his guard down and entered the room.

There was a red-horned Oni, dressed very nicely, clinging to the one next to him.

The red-horned Oni is a Oni who is called Hisui.

She is a fellow Oni I brought back from that realm the other day.

But she is not become the Spectre Oni yet.

For some reason, time seems to have frozen, and the transformation into an Spectre Oni has not progressed at all.

However, there seems to have been a change in the value of her skills.

Perhaps because of this, the white parts of her eyes are turning black.

It seems that the transformation into spectre oni, which has not progressed since her arrival in this everlasting realm, has finally begun to progress.

However, it is extremely slow.

It will take more time for her to become a complete spectre oni.

And then there is a Oni that Hisui is clinging to.

She is also a Spectre Oni, but she is very old.

Time has stopped for her, too, without her becoming a full spectre.

Even in this everlasting realm, she has not progressed at all.

Her horns are chipped and her wrinkled face shows no sign of life.

Wondering why she is still alive is almost a mystery.

Besides, she is wearing armor, not clothes.

She has a naginata sword by her side, and her forehead is covered with a forehead protector.

She is not a very good fighter.

However, Garak was no match for this woman.

He was certain of it.

jingling jingling…

jingling jingling…

jingling….

clank….

…….

The sound of the bead rolling fades away.

It does not mean that they stopped moving.

It was just that the beads rubbed against each other, turning to powder and making no sound.

Whenever Garak comes here, she always makes threats like this.

It was as if she was angry with him, asking why he came here.

But the reason she is really angry is not because Garak came here.

“Why …… WHY……!”

“Grandma also, don’t know.”

“Why did you ……. bring me here ……?”

“Grandma Hinata, also doesn’t understand.”

That lady…. Hinata, was angry that Garak had brought Hinata, who was not an Spectre Oni, into the everlasting realm.

He had done something that should not have been done.

And she was angry at Garak for doing so.

” Are you going to advance yourself on the curse, ……!”

“I don’t know.”

Garak scratches his head and sits there, as if to say he is tired of hearing that word.

He looks at the Hisui, but realizing that he has been seen, she lets out a small shriek and hides behind Hinata.

Garak doesn’t want to be here to quarrel with her, either.

But the fact that she is so frightened of him is a little depressing.

He is just doing things according to his own reasoning.

He want to clear up the misunderstanding, but if he takes even one step closer to Hinata, he will be in Hinata’s line of attack.

If he gets any closer, he’ll probably have his head chopped off, no matter how bad he is.

She was a ridiculous old woman.

Thinking about this, he considers what to do next.

There are only two Specter Oni left, Garak and Gouki.

The rest died fulfilling their mission to bring back Hisui.

He has great confidence in his ability to slaughter the Oni who are trying to take back Hisui.

There is no way in hell that he will lose by any chance, and he cannot allow that to happen.

He cannot afford to lose his forces now.

Neither the Spectre Oni, nor those guys….

They should never have attacked them in the first place.

Garak thinks to himself for a moment, then quickly gets up and leaves the drum tower.

He needs to prepare his forces for what is to come.

When the time comes………

“……”

He will go out of this world himself.

He swore to himself and walked back to the gates of this realm.
